The Love Crisis: Hit-and-Run Lovers, Jugglers, Sexual Stingies, Unreliables, Kinkies, and Other Typical Men Today , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 571min

What is wrong with men today? That is the question the 27 million single, separated, and divorced women in this country ask themselves again and again. Married women sometimes wonder too. This is the book they’ve all been waiting for. The Love Crisis is a field guide to the contemporary male. Women define the Love Crisis through complaints about skittish men who play destructive games with them or who are unable to make commitments. Written with wit, expertise, and authority by a female journalist with a male clinical psychologist, The Love Crisis categorizes men according to how they behave in relationships and describes the psychodynamics of typical lovers and husbands today. You’ll recognize Hit-and-Run Lovers ("A proliferating breed of men who score and soon after disappear"), Jugglers ("Their addiction is to ongoing relationships - several at once"), Sexually Stingy Lovers ("A variety of excuses and ploys are used to avoid sex. Most commonly heard is the complaint, 'I’m tired'"), Just-So-Far Lovers ("They cannot, they will not, take the plunge"). There are also Bastards, Kinkies, Fastidious and Urge-to-Merge Lovers - 21 types in all. A chapter on the Normal Man will help the reader recognize that rare but delightful creature. Also included is a discussion of how society contributes to the Love Crisis, and an appendix on "How to Spot a Loser Lover." A bold, lighthearted yet serious call to romantic arms, this book will help both men and women understand and overcome the increasing difficulties they face in finding love today. Carol Botwin has written about human behavior, sex, and other topics for such publications as The New York Times Magazine, Family Circle, and Redbook. Dr. Jerome L. Fine is a clinical psychologist connected with the William A. White Institute of Psychoanalysis and Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Romy Nordlinger.

Perennials , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 608min

Eva - known to all as Lovey - grew up safe and secure in Oxford, Mississippi, surrounded by a rich literary history and her mother's stunning flower gardens. But a shed fire, and the injuries that it caused, seemed to change everything...especially when her older sister, Bitsy, blamed Lovey for the irreparable damage. Bitsy became the cheerleader. The homecoming queen. The perfect Southern belle who could do no wrong. All the while, Lovey served as the family scapegoat, always bearing the brunt when Bitsy threw blame her way. At 18, suffocating in her sister's shadow, Lovey turned down a marriage proposal and fled to Arizona - a place as far from Mississippi as she could find. In time, she became a successful advertising executive and a weekend yoga instructor, carving a satisfying life for herself, free from Bitsy's vicious lies. But now that she's turning 45, Lovey is feeling more alone than ever and questioning the choices that have led her here. When she gets a call from her father insisting that she come home three weeks early for her parents' fiftieth anniversary, Lovey is at wits' end. She's about to close the biggest contract of her career, and there's a lot on the line. But despite the risks, her father's words, "family first", draw her right back to the red dirt roads of Mississippi. Lovey is welcomed home by a secret project - a memory garden her father has planned as an anniversary surprise for her mother. As she helps create this sacred space, Lovey begins to rediscover her roots, learning to live perennially in spite of life's many trials and tragedies. Years ago, Lovey chose to leave her family and the South far behind. But now that she's returned, she's realizing things at home were not always what they seemed.

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 730min

2018 Audie Award Finalist for Multi-Voiced Performance From Taylor Jenkins Reid, "a genius when it comes to stories about life and love" (Redbook), comes an unforgettable and sweeping novel about one classic film actress' relentless rise to the top - the risks she took, the loves she lost, and the long-held secrets the public could never imagine. Aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her glamorous and scandalous life. But when she chooses unknown magazine reporter Monique Grant for the job, no one in the journalism community is more astounded than Monique herself. Why her? Why now? Monique is not exactly on top of the world. Her husband, David, has left her, and her career has stagnated. Regardless of why Evelyn has chosen her to write her biography, Monique is determined to use this opportunity to jump-start her career. Summoned to Evelyn's Upper East Side apartment, Monique listens as Evelyn unfurls her story: from making her way to Los Angeles in the 1950s to her decision to leave show business in the late '80s and, of course, the seven husbands along the way. As Evelyn's life unfolds - revealing a ruthless ambition, an unexpected friendship, and a great forbidden love - Monique begins to feel a very a real connection to the actress. But as Evelyn's story catches up with the present, it becomes clear that her life intersects with Monique's own in tragic and irreversible ways. Written with Reid's signature talent for "creating complex, likable characters" (Real Simple), this is a fascinating journey through the splendor of Old Hollywood into the harsh realities of the present day as two women struggle with what it means - and what it takes - to face the truth. ungekürzt.

Tempted Women: The Passions, Perils, and Agonies of Female Infidelity , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 505min

Over the past ten years the numbers of wives who have affairs has grown dramatically. Recent surveys suggest by as much as 50 percent. Yet, in all the acres of space devoted to male infidelity, so far this has been a largely untouched subject. In this guide, Carol Botwin - advice columnist, therapist and author - rushes to help rather than to condemn. Drawing from 600 interviews and case histories - with both husbands and wives - Botwin examines causes, initial attractions, affairs in progress, endings and aftermaths. Throughout she offers her experienced advice and solutions on how to deal with a lover, children, and husband after the affair has dealt a devastating blow to the marriage. Carol Botwin, a leading sexologist and columnist, brings together her research and interviews with more than four hundred women. Tempted Women is loaded with candid, fascinating stories of women giving in to instant sexual attractions, having affairs with co-workers, and carrying on emotional liaisons that last decades. Women tell - in their own words - how their misdirected intentions and runaway temptation led to incredibly passionate extra-marital sex and painful consequences. Botwin outlines ways to foresee whether a woman will have an affair and breaks down affairs into predictable stages. She asks questions such as, "Are affairs without sex really possible?" and "What do you do about the man you can't forget?" and answers them. She explains the causes of infidelity, and the solutions. Combining the support of an empathetic confidante and Botwin's trademark practical advice, Tempted Women is a friend to reach out to for the millions of women who are having an affair - and for the innumerable women who think about it. Carol Botwin is a well-known sexologist and has been a columnist for Woman and New Woman magazines. She has written for Ladies' Home Journal, Woman's Day, and Redbook. Her articles hav ungekürzt.

Namaste the Hard Way: A Daughter's Journey to Find Her Mother on the Yoga Mat , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 545min

My mother used to chant in Sanskrit in her study before sunrise every morning. Though she died when I was 16 - 22 years ago - I always hear her voice that way. Off-key, but strangely hypnotic, the language both complicated and pure, reverberating around our house.For a kid growing up in Southern Ohio - Bible belt country - the sound was both alluring and repellent."What's your mother doing?" my friends would ask."Being a weirdo," I told them.And so encapsulates the coming of age story of Sasha Brown, a transplanted tween plunked in the middle of the Bible Belt with a macrobiotic hippy mom and a ribs-eating dad. A writer whose work has appeared in The New York Times, Redbook, and Cosmopolitan, Brown's prose is heartfelt and hilarious, revealing her quest to find her way as two worlds collide. While other moms were at Bible study, her mom was studying Sanskrit; while other were finding friendship at Tupperware parties, her mom was finding enlightenment at the ashram. And when her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, she chose a healthy diet and yoga over aggressive chemo. When her mother died, Brown ran as far away from yoga as she could until a running injury left her needing the very thing she was running from. It was there - on the mat - that she processed her grief and found her mother again. As she went deeper into the poses, she discovered she was more like her mother than she thought. Through it all, she found a deeper understanding of the practice, of the breath, and of the life her mother lost too young.The practice that once seemed easy and slow compared to pounding the pavement in a new pair of Asics became the biggest challenge of her life. She learned that yoga is so much more than asana. So much more than breath. So much more than perfect poses. The "union" of yoga became one of heart and mind, and finally, with that maternal energy Sasha had been missing fo ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jenny Gillett.
