To the Best of Our Knowledge: Are Humans Innately Good?, Hörbuch, Digital, 52min
In this hour, it's a question that has kept generations of philosophers and college students up at night: are humans innately good? Ron Shaich, the founder of Panera Bread Company, has come up with a new business model: cafes where customers pay what they want or can afford. He tells Jim Fleming why he expects Panera Cares Cafes to work. Next, for centuries religions set moral boundaries. In his new book The Moral Landscape prominent atheist Sam Harris argues that science should set them. He tells Steve Paulson there are right and wrong answers and they are found in science.Then, primatologists and evolutionary biologists often point to chimpanzees to explain human nature. They are our closest living non-human relatives, and their behavior is remarkably similar to ours. But we have another family of ape relatives, the bonobos, who are gentle, pacifist, and matriarchal. Researcher Vanessa Woods, author of Bonobo Handshake, tells Anne Strainchamps we all need to ask ourselves are we chimp or bonobo? After that, if evolution is a game called survival of the fittest, how do you explain altruism? The "altruism equation" is a mathematical rule discovered by George Price. A brilliant and remarkable man, he eventually gave up everything he owned and became homeless. Biographer Oren Harmen, whose new book is The Price of Altruism, tells Steve Paulson George Price really wanted to know why people help each other?And finally, religious historian Karen Armstrong doesn't like the either/or, good/evil dichotomy. She believes we are hard-wired to be both selfish and kind. Her new book is called 12 Steps to Compassion and she tells Anne Strainchamps the cornerstone of everything is the Golden Rule.

Conscious Capitalism: Liberating the Heroic Spirit of Business , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 674min
In this New York Times and Wall Street Journal best seller, Whole Foods Market cofounder John Mackey and professor and Conscious Capitalism, Inc. cofounder Raj Sisodia argue for the inherent good of both business and capitalism. Featuring some of today's best-known and most-successful companies, they illustrate how these two forces can - and do - work most powerfully to create value for all stakeholders, including customers, employees, suppliers, investors, society, and the environment. Conscious Capitalism helps us better understand how companies such as Southwest Airlines, Costco, UPS, Panera, Patagonia, Google, The Container Store, and many others, use four specific tenets - higher purpose, stakeholder integration, conscious leadership, and conscious culture and management - to build strong businesses, advance capitalism toward its highest potential, and foster a more positive environment for all of us. ungekürzt.

Treasure Hunt: Inside the Mind of the New Consumer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 559min
A BMW in a Costco parking lot? A working class family with a 50-inch plasma TV? What's going on in the mind of the new consumer? Today's consumers can seem impossible to understand, and even harder to please. For instance, the average mall shopper will spend about $100, then leave when she hits that limit. She'll probably buy shoes rather than clothing, because she doesn't want to think about her dress size. And the store most likely to get her money isn't the one with the nicest display or the deepest discounts, it's the one closest to her parking spot. In his consulting with dozens of leading companies, Michael J. Silverstein has interviewed thousands of customers, extracting fascinating patterns about what really drives their purchase decisions. His first book, the acclaimed best seller Trading Up, has taught a generation of marketers about the "new luxury" phenomenon, and why consumers will happily pay a steep premium for goods and services that are emotionally satisfying, from golf clubs to bathroom fixtures to beauty products. But Trading Up revealed only part of the story of the new consumer. The same middle-class people who are happily trading up at Victoria's Secret and Panera are going on treasure hunts at Costco and Home Depot. And they are often getting as much emotional satisfaction in the discount stores as in the luxury stores. Treasure Hunt shows how even the most mundane shopping, for things like paper towels and pet food, has become an adventure rather than a tedious chore. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John H.
