    Play It Where It Lies!: How to Win at the Game of Life with the Rules of Golf , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 195min
    This book adopts some of the basic rules of golf as a metaphor for life and argues that life is a game that can be played successfully. The work then enumerates some basic rules of life (21 in total) and shows how others have followed and violated these rules to their ultimate victory or defeat. Many references are culled from popular culture both here in North America and abroad. There are autobiographical snippets along the way to add authenticity to the project. I believe this is an important work in that it offers a path of life that is freed from the rigors and confusion of religion as well as the academic, heady malaise in which philosophy presently finds itself. ungekürzt.

    Zoodulcis: Our Fascination With Animals , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 343min
    Zoodulcis is a feeling and cognition about soft fascination with certain types of animals and how this fascination contributes to human well-being. So why does soft fascination with animals matter to people? Because this form of engagement can shift mood from negative to positive, encourages patients with intractable problems such as PTSD to stay in healing programs such as animal-assisted therapy, helps people with spinal and musculoskeletal issues learn to use their bodies in ways that promote strength and balance, and helps stressed-out urban dwellers to cope with the rigors of city living better. Find out how soft fashion with animals promotes creativity and imagination, improves mood, reduces stress, increases and restores depleted selective attention, lowers blood pressure, and leads to improved social acceptance and physical fitness. ungekürzt.

    The Egg and I , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 540min
    When Betty MacDonald married a marine and moved to a small chicken farm on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, she was largely unprepared for the rigors of life in the wild. With no running water, no electricity, a house in need of constant repair, and days that ran from four in the morning to nine at night, the MacDonalds had barely a moment to put their feet up and relax. And then came the children. Yet through every trial and pitfall - through chaos and catastrophe - this indomitable family somehow, mercifully, never lost its sense of humor. A beloved literary treasure for more than half a century, Betty MacDonald's The Egg and I is a heartwarming and uproarious account of adventure and survival on the American frontier. ungekürzt.

    Young Nate Lawton is caught between the rigors of the fledgling United States Navy's discipline and the demands of his ambitious Captain. Nate seems doomed to pay the price of his newly appointed rank of Acting First Lieutenant on the USS Hancock, a brig fresh from the shipyard. He becomes the captain's scapegoat, and the target of the crew's hatred. He must choose between his patriotic duty, and the implicit responsibility of his office. Fighting under the command of Commodore Perry in the Battle of Lake Erie, Nate is swept into a storm of politics, treason, and deception that threatens to cost the new nation a winner-takes-all strategic victory.

    When Rain Hurts: An Adoptive Mother's Journey with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 749min
    When Rain Hurts is the story of one mother’s quest to find a magical path of healing and forgiveness for her son, a boy so damaged by the double whammy of prenatal alcohol abuse and the stark rigors of Russian orphanage life that he was feral by the time of his adoption at age three. Bizarre behaviors, irrational thoughts, and dangerous preoccupations were the norm - no amount of love, it turns out, can untangle the effects of fetal alcohol syndrome. More people are coping with and caring for those affected by fetal alcohol spectrum disorders than individuals living with autism, but because there is a stigma associated with this preventable, devastating birth defect, it is a pandemic of disability and tragedy that remains underreported and underexplored. When Rain Hurts puts an unapologetic face to living and coping with this tragedy while doggedly searching for a more hopeful outcome for one beautiful, innocent, but damaged little boy. ungekürzt.
