    Drift into Failure , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 469min
    What does the collapse of sub-prime lending have in common with a broken jackscrew in an airliner’s tailplane? Or the oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico with the burn-up of Space Shuttle Columbia? These were systems that drifted into failure. While pursuing success in a dynamic, complex environment with limited resources and multiple goal conflicts, a succession of small, everyday decisions eventually produced breakdowns on a massive scale. We have trouble grasping the complexity and normality that gives rise to such large events. We hunt for broken parts, fixable properties, people we can hold accountable. Our analyses of complex system breakdowns remain depressingly linear, depressingly componential - imprisoned in the space of ideas once defined by Newton and Descartes. The growth of complexity in society has outpaced our understanding of how complex systems work and fail. Our technologies have gotten ahead of our theories. We are able to build things - deep-sea oil rigs, jackscrews, collateralized debt obligations - whose properties we understand in isolation. But in competitive, regulated societies, their connections proliferate, their interactions and interdependencies multiply, their complexities mushroom. This book explores complexity theory and systems thinking to understand better how complex systems drift into failure. It studies sensitive dependence on initial conditions, unruly technology, tipping points, diversity - and finds that failure emerges opportunistically, non-randomly, from the very webs of relationships that breed success and that are supposed to protect organizations from disaster. It develops a vocabulary that allows us to harness complexity and find new ways of managing drift. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sidney Dekker.

    A Perilous Conception: The Detective Baumgartner Mysteries, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 511min
    It’s 1976. Despite fierce international controversy over whether in vitro fertilization (IVF) should ever be performed in humans, doctors around the world race to be first to produce a baby through this procedure. Dr. Colin Sanford, a brilliant, ambitious obstetrician in the Pacific Northwest city of Emerald, has a plan. He recruits Dr. Giselle Hearn, an experienced laboratory geneticist/embryologist at the university who’s frustrated by the ultraconservative policies of her department chairman. Drs. Sanford and Hearn, working secretly, set out to put their names in the history books. Unfortunately, a secret that big is hard to keep, and Alma Wanego, Dr. Hearn’s lab supervisor, catches on and demands a blackmail payment. Several months later, Dr. Sanford’s patient, Joyce Kennett, gives birth to a healthy boy, and Sanford prepares to make an announcement at a press conference. But before that happens, Joyce Kennett’s marginally schizophrenic husband kills Dr. Hearn and then himself. Police Detective Bernie Baumgartner’s investigation is hampered by pressure from influential people at the university who want to control sensationalism that might harm the institution. The chief of police chalks it up to the work of a mentally unstable man who may have forgotten to take his medication and considers the case closed. But dogged, tenacious Baumgartner suspects that Sanford and Hearn were in fact doing IVF, that they succeeded with the Kennetts, and that murder, suicide, and other crimes were the fallout. A double cat-and-mouse game develops between doctor and detective, and as stakes escalate, truth becomes an increasingly evasive commodity. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Improve Your Social Skills: Stop Procrastinating, Retrain and Lead Your Brain Without Boundaries to Build Mental Toughness for Dare in Your Life and Improve Critical Aspects for High-Level Conversations , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 115min
    What does it take to generate the willfulness to participate proactively in shaping your environment and personal relationships? Is it possible to acquire a sense of purpose that can serve as an active spring of action for you? Many people go through life without a well-thought-out understanding of the true essence of their existence. They're contented to always go with the grain, and to live "normal" lives, even if they don't really understand what the real essence of the "normal" life they're living is. Over time, the human brain develops a comfort zone and cocoons inside of it, and tends to renounce contradictions and inconsistencies in order to remain in the comfort zone. As a result, many people do not consciously control any more than 5% of the choices they make. This can be really frustrating especially for people looking to adopt new habits to improve their social lives. Their inability to direct most of their choices aright and to kick back against procrastination holds them back from adopting habits that would enhance their social skills. Improve Your Social Skills: Stop Procrastinating, Retrain and Lead Your Brain Without Boundaries to Build Mental Toughness for Dare in Your Life and Improve Critical Aspects for High-Level Conversations is a transformative piece that can help you break away from your timid and lackluster social life with ease. The principles in this book will help you beat procrastination to reinvent yourself as well as your relationships with friends and family. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cliff Weldon.

    My Thomas , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 782min
    When Martha Skelton finds herself falling in love with a shy young burgess named Thomas Jefferson, it feels like an inconvenience. Widowed at 22, Martha has no desire to lose the independence she has gained in the wake of her husband's death. But she cannot deny her feelings indefinitely. Despite her intentions, her friendship with Thomas develops into an intense and all-consuming love. History casts a shadow on Martha's newfound joy. Through her father's slave and mistress, Betty Hemings, she comes to understand the true nature of slavery, an institution she has always taken for granted. As Betty's revelations tear down the walls of her ignorance, Martha begins to work with her husband to end the despicable practice forever. This story is true. Thomas Jefferson was such an obsessive record-keeper that we know what he was doing nearly every day of his adult life, and all the public things he is quoted as saying in My Thomas come from his contemporary writings. Martha's marriage to Thomas spanned the decade from 1772 to 1782, so it put her at the center of the audacious grab at freedom that was the American Revolution. Jefferson's writings suggest that if he had not been widowed, he would have retired from politics following the war and devoted himself to finding a way to end slavery that could have truly and forever healed the separations between the races. It is hard to hear Martha's story now and not think about what might have been. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Roberta Grimes.

    The Bad Place , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 914min
    Frank Pollard awakens in an alley, knowing nothing but his name - and that he is in great danger. Having taken refuge in a motel, he wakes again only to find his hands covered in blood. As far as he knows, he's no killer. But whose blood is this, and how did it get there? Over the next few days Frank develops a fear of sleep, because each time he wakes, he discovers strange objects in his hands and pockets - objects far more frightening than blood. Husband-and-wife detective team Bobby and Julie Dakota specialize in high-ticket corporate security investigations, but when a distraught and desperate Frank Pollard begs them to watch over him, they can't refuse. Out of compassion - and curiosity - they agree to get to the bottom of his mysterious, amnesiac fugues. It seems a simple job: just follow a client who wants to be watched and tell him where he winds up. But as the Dakotas begin to discover where their client goes when he sleeps, they are drawn slowly into ever-darkening realms where they encounter the ominous figure stalking Frank. Their lives are threatened, as is that of Julie's gentle, Down's-syndrome brother, Thomas. To Thomas, death is "the bad place" from which there is no return. But Julie and Bobby - and their tortured client - ultimately learn that equally bad places exist in the world of the living, places so steeped in evil that, in contrast ,death seems almost a relief. ungekürzt.

    Kai-Zen: Breathing Life Into Leadership , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 166min
    Kai-Zen explores how twenty first century, emergent leaders can re-ignite the work culture, bridge the generational gap while re-energizing their own passion for life. Author Inger Andress, uses substantial sources of research to show how humanizing the workplace will ultimately bring success to any organization. The fulfilled life is aware of its passions and desires. Without this chemistry from within, life is viewed as work and work as life. The goal is to help find the part of you that instigated this journey of leadership and continue to move forward towards an entity that gives you life and, in turn, gifting life back to your people and to the world. The desperation that develops when one misses this step brings a sense of being trapped within the walls of your leadership role. This will contribute to the shutting down of any vibrant energy and innovative thought in daily life. How do you prevent yourself from getting to this point? How do you get out if you are already submerged? How do you allow multi generations to collaborate and enjoy working alongside each other in such diversity? The book brings awareness to the position of opportunity that all leaders have in any spectrum of life whether it be in business, non-profit, military, entertainment, athletics and academics. Unveiling authentic leadership brings back flavor and zest into your life. Kai-Zen communicates these leadership concepts and breaks them down into bite size pieces for implementing how to breathe innovation into your people and restore life into you the leader. ungekürzt.

    Faith in the Trenches: Issues and Interventions in Catholic Counseling, Hörbuch, Digital, 218min
    Packed with practical information, this program will enrich the listener’s entire understanding of Catholic pastoral Counseling. Dr. Popcak shows how Catholic Pastoral counseling is related to but distinct from Spiritual Direction and crisis intervention. He shows this approach differs from Psychological counseling in that the underlying assumptions reflect the faith filled anthropology of the Church. This approach not only differs from the various forms of secular counseling, but is also distinct from Protestant Pastoral counseling that is under girded with an entirely different theology. He explains how important it is to lay out tangible concrete goals that will help an individual know when he or she has “gotten better.” He stresses the need to define terms as quickly as possible by asking the person not only what the problem is that he or she is facing but what exactly does it mean. He equips the listener to spot smoke screens and evasions in order to understand what the true specific needs of the person asking for help are. The entire approach is based on Catholic doctrine and the theology of the body. But he makes this approach concrete and utilizes many ways to assist individuals and families including telephone counseling. In regards to marital counseling he develops the notion of “holy sex” and how the intimacy between man and wife is all-inclusive and sacramental. In a culture that caters to fulfilling adult desires, he urges people to meet the needs of children in order to build up not only human society but also the kingdom of God. Language: English.
