    Afraid of the Light
    __________________________ The new novel from the bestselling author of The Pursuit of Happiness and The Moment Brendan has always lived a careful, constrained life. A salesman who never liked the work, he's a man who has stayed in his marriage and his faith because it was what was expected of him. But now, having lost his job after corporate downsizing and on the cusp of sixty, he finds himself scrambling to somehow stay afloat in the only Los Angeles work on offer to a man his age - driving for Uber. When one of his rides, a retired professor named Elise, asks to be dropped off outside an abortion clinic where she now volunteers, Brendan finds himself literally driving right into the virulent epicentre of one of the major issues of our time, engulfing his life in the process. A novel of high suspense and considerable moral complexity, Afraid of the Light is a tough, affecting social thriller that speaks volumes about the corrosive divisions of our troubled times. __________________________ 'Kennedy is skilled at zigzag plotting, blending domestic twists with turns created by global affairs' OBSERVER

    Bedtime Stories for Managers: Farewell, Lofty Leadership...Welcome, Engaging Management , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 201min
    If you’re like most managers and things keep you up at night, now you can turn to an audiobook that’s designed especially for you! But you won’t find talking rabbits or princesses here. (There is a cow, but it doesn’t jump.) Henry Mintzberg has culled 42 of the best posts from his widely read blog and turned them into a deceptively light, sneakily serious compendium of sometimes heretical reflections on management.   The moral here is this: Managers need to leave their castles and find out what’s actually going on in their kingdoms. And like real bedtime stories, these essays have metaphors galore. So prepare to grow strategies like weeds and organize like a cow. Discover the maestro myth of managing, find the soft underbelly of hard data, and learn why downsizing is bloodletting and your board should be a bee. Mintzberg writes, “Just try not to be outraged by anything you read, because some of my most outrageous ideas turn out to be my best. They just take a while to become obvious.” ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tom Kruse. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/137094/bk_acx0_137094_sample.mp3.

    Promises, Hörbuch, Digital, 175min
    From the best-selling author of The Carousel and Daybreak comes a stirring, timely story of adultery and its impact on the American family. Margaret and Adam Crane seem to have a near-perfect life - she's a teacher, he's a computer executive, and together they are lovingly raising their own children and Margaret's orphaned niece. Then one day the phone rings - and suddenly everything changes forever as a woman from Adam's university days reappears in his life, and an old affair reignites. At the same time, there are problems in Adam's workplace - a possible takeover and downsizing. The reverberations from these two circumstances will touch many lives and bring with them changes that no one could have predicted. In Promises, Belva Plain - as only she can do - depicts the fraying fabric of family life in the wake of extramarital affairs, while at the same time celebrating the importance of strong and nurturing family values. Dramatic, compelling, and always exciting, Belva Plain's storytelling talents confirm her standing as the foremost chronicler of family life today. Language: English. Narrator: Joanna Kerns.

    A Prescription for Change: The Looming Crisis in Drug Development , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 807min
    The introduction of new medicines has dramatically improved the quantity and quality of individual and public health, while contributing trillions of dollars to the global economy. In spite of these past successes - and indeed because of them - our ability to deliver new medicines may be quickly coming to an end. Moving from the 20th century to the present, A Prescription for Change reveals how changing business strategies combined with scientific hubris have altered the way new medicines are discovered, with dire implications for both health and the economy. To explain how we have arrived at this pivotal moment, Michael S. Kinch recounts the history of pharmaceutical and biotechnological advances in the 20th century, relating stories of the individuals and organizations that ushered in the modern era of translational medicine. He shows that an accelerating cycle of acquisition and downsizing is cannibalizing the very infrastructure that had fostered the introduction of innovative new medicines. As Kinch demonstrates, the dismantling of the pharmaceutical and biotechnological research and development enterprises could also provide opportunities to innovate new models that sustain and expand the introduction of newer and better breakthrough medicines in the years to come. ungekürzt.

    Good Bye Job, Hello Life: Finding Purpose Beyond Work , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 419min
    Mira Tasich, a loyal, hardworking, and devoted employee of several large corporations, finds herself unemployed, a victim of the recession. As a young teenager, she moved to America, learned a new language, and gained prestige and career success only to get laid off in a corporate downsizing. Frustrated, angry, and confused, she struggles to justify the familial and personal sacrifices made over the years for her employers, including a 2,141-mile move away from family and friends to the Southwest. Her focus on slowing down her life and enjoying the immediate, rather than worrying about the future, will inspire listeners. Mira writes that "we are conditioned to believe repetition is immutable", and she proves that change is what energizes her and holds the potential to energize others. Her journey of self-discovery and compromise provides insight to all listeners experiencing similar periods of identity crisis and priority reevaluation. With her self-deprecating sense of humor and undeterred determination, she offers a road map to her listeners as she evolves from a woman married to her job to a woman married to her passions. ungekürzt.

    Transitions: Stories of How to Help Mom and Dad with Their Stuff , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 203min
    Mom and Dad need help with all their stuff, and honestly, I'm getting worn out trying to help them. When seniors are downsizing from the house they've been in for over 50 years, it can be overwhelming. Repeatedly we hear: "I don't know where to start." Often there are tears. They need help dealing with all the stuff - whether it is the stuff in their home or the emotional stuff they are faced with. Boomer kids are looking for direction too. "Why won't Mom do what I want?", and "My brother won't help me." The popular line: "We're going to get a dumpster." Transitions is a monthly column to guide seniors and their children through these changes. It is about the emotion and the commotion of making the transition. With ideas for both generations, the goal is to coach, encourage, and guide folks through the process. This is a collection of 50 of those columns. The stories often aren't just one person's story. If they feel familiar, it is because there are many of us sharing the same challenges. You aren't alone. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ann Bumbak.
