    Random House presents the audiobook edition of Ten Arguments For Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now by Jaron Lanier, read by Oliver Wyman. Jaron Lanier, the world-famous Silicon Valley scientist-pioneer and 'high-tech genius' (Sunday Times) who first alerted us to the dangers of social media, explains why its toxic effects are at the heart of its design and explains in 10 simple arguments why liberating yourself from its hold will transform your life and the world for the better. Social media is making us sadder, angrier, less empathetic, more fearful, more isolated and more tribal. In recent months it has become horribly clear that social media is not bringing us together - it is tearing us apart. In Ten Arguments For Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now, Jaron Lanier draws on his insider's expertise to explain precisely how social media works - by deploying constant surveillance and subconscious manipulation of its users - and why its cruel and dangerous effects are at the heart of its current business model and design. As well as offering 10 simple arguments for liberating yourself from its addictive hold, his witty and urgent manifesto outlines a vision for an alternative that provides all the benefits of social media without the harm.  So, if you want a happier life, a more just and peaceful world, or merely the chance to think for yourself without being monitored and influenced by the richest corporations in history, then the best thing you can do, for now, is delete your social media accounts - right now. You will almost certainly become a calmer and possibly a nicer person in the process. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Oliver Wyman.

    Breeding Puppies: How to Make Money Breeding Puppies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 24min
    There are no secrets in the breeding of fine dogs. Nature's laws, basic truths, are like the Ten Commandments and bear repeating - the more often the better. The receipt for success in the science of reproduction is both simple and complex, but it can be summed up in a little word: Selection is the secret of breeding fine dogs - selection based on knowledge. A great winner is no accident. Behind each great dog are a planned breeding program and a continuity of purpose extending over many years, by the dog's immediate breeder, of a succession of breeders. Long ago, people assumed that ill luck and good fortune were based upon chance. Science has narrowed the gap - if one does not depend entirely upon Lady Luck. Nature is all-powerful, but science has proven that nature can be guided and controlled, that individuals' traits in a living machine can be focused and fixed. Thinking back, I recall a poem that my parents used to quote to us children. (I am not sure I have it just right.) If, of all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are, "It might have been." Sadder are these we daily see. It is, but it ought not to be. But of all glad words of prose and rhyme, the gladdest are, "There still is time." Nothing could be more appropriate than this when we consider the little dogs that hadn't ought to be, but there is still time for breeders to take an inventory of their breeding programs, to check where they've been, how long they've been there, and the direction in which they are going. ungekürzt.

    Baptism of the Holy Spirit (Updated, Annotated): How to Receive this Promised Gift , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 109min
    Have ye received the Holy Spirit since ye believed? (Acts 19:2)Scripture clearly separates being born again, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and being filled with the Holy Spirit. These three are not lumped together as one in Scripture. Instead, they are presented as separate experiences for the Lord's people.Today, however, few people know exactly what the Scriptures say regarding the Holy Spirit, and the consequence is men trying to do things in their own strength. Sadder still is how one group denies the power of the Holy Spirit, while another group pursues the things of the Spirit more than they pursue Christ himself. Somewhere in the middle is the truth. This audiobook takes a close look at Scripture to see what the Lord himself tells us regarding his Holy Spirit and how it relates to us today.Chapters included in this audiobook: "What Is the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?""The Baptism with the Holy Spirit Is Necessary""How to Obtain the Baptism with the Holy Spirit""The Refilling with the Holy Spirit""How to Keep Spiritual Power"Original title: The Baptism with the Holy Spirit About the authorReuben Archer Torrey traveled all over the world leading evangelistic tours, preaching to the unsaved. It is believed that more than 100,000 were saved under his preaching. Torrey married Clara Smith in 1879, with whom he had five children. In 1908, he helped start the Montrose Bible Conference in Pennsylvania, which continues today. He became dean of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles (now Biola University) in 1912, and was the pastor of the Church of the Open Door in Los Angeles from 1915 to 1924. Torrey continued speaking all over the world and holding Bible conferences. He died in Asheville, North Carolina, on October 26, 1928. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lyle Blaker.

    Do Nothing (eBook, ePUB)
    "A welcome antidote to our toxic hustle culture of burnout."-Arianna Huffington "This book is so important and could truly save lives."-Elizabeth Gilbert "A clarion call to work smarter [and] accomplish more by doing less."-Adam Grant We work feverishly to make ourselves happy. So why are we so miserable? Despite our constant search for new ways to optimize our bodies and minds for peak performance, human beings are working more instead of less, living harder not smarter, and becoming more lonely and anxious. We strive for the absolute best in every aspect of our lives, ignoring what we do well naturally and reaching for a bar that keeps rising higher and higher. Why do we measure our time in terms of efficiency instead of meaning? Why can't we just take a break? In Do Nothing, award-winning journalist Celeste Headlee illuminates a new path ahead, seeking to institute a global shift in our thinking so we can stop sabotaging our well-being, put work aside, and start living instead of doing. As it turns out, we're searching for external solutions to an internal problem. We won't find what we're searching for in punishing diets, productivity apps, or the latest self-improvement schemes. Yet all is not lost-we just need to learn how to take time for ourselves, without agenda or profit, and redefine what is truly worthwhile. Pulling together threads from history, neuroscience, social science, and even paleontology, Headlee examines long-held assumptions about time use, idleness, hard work, and even our ultimate goals. Her research reveals that the habits we cling to are doing us harm; they developed recently in human history, which means they are habits that can, and must, be broken. It's time to reverse the trend that's making us all sadder, sicker, and less productive, and return to a way of life that allows us to thrive.

    Emotional Manipulation: How to Influence and Manipulate People by Using Their Emotions and Mind Control. Best Guide with Practical Tips and Tricks to Analyze People and Make Him to Do What You Want. , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 219min
    Emotional manipulation is an historic characteristic used by numerous people, since at least 400 BCE. Almost everyone knows someone or a friend of someone who has been abused. Most people who are abused are females, although males can certainly endure abuse, as well. So, how do people become abusers?Typically, there are several factors that play into this. If a child views or witnesses either of their parents being abused while they are growing up, or if they themselves are the victims of any sort of verbal and/or physical abuse, there is a good chance that they will grow up to become abusers themselves.Emotions are a great part of the human existence. In fact, the overall scheme of things is a product of human emotions just as much as it is of human intellect. Emotions can relay feelings to the mind and create a want or a need, and the mind processes the need and incites the person to act on the emotion.People have a lot in ways when it comes to dealing with emotions. Some may exercise healthy control over theirs, but unfortunately a lot exploit emotions to get things done their way. Sadder still is the fact that the greater part of the human race remains unaware that most probably, they are being manipulated by others emotionally.Do you know that abusive relationships can also lead to the victim feeling lonely and depressed? This is dangerous because depression can and does, sometimes, act as a sort of gateway into other negative types of behavior such as drug and alcohol abuse or self-inflicted abuse (i.e. self-mutilation, cutting themselves, etc.). It can also lead to thoughts of suicide. If you suspect that someone is being abused or that there might be something going on, you might want to consider having an intervention.This book unravels how to influence people by using their emotions and mind control. It is the best guide with practical tips and tricks to analyze people and make him to do what you want.In this au ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephen M. Gillikin.

    The Call to Serve , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 356min
    “Helen, do you think I’ll ever get married?” Joan asked abruptly. A very troubling thought in 1943. The Call to Serve celebrates the innocence that transcends the decades and the beauty of true love in this story of friendship between Annie, Joan, Bernice, Helen, and their men. The story is set in fictitious Abbotsville, New Jersey, in the autumn of 1943. Caught between the desire to marry and have families and the requirement to stay patient, even vigilant, during the grim World War II era, these four Catholic heroines find comfort in the humor and solace of camaraderie. Annie, Joan, and Bernice, all young ladies in their 20s, set out to find the loves of their lives. Annie is a fast-paced North Jersey gal whose Italian heritage is rich in the love and creation of food, much to the joy of her friends. Joan, comfortably brought up in South Jersey, is a little naïve about the ways of the world, but not in what truly counts. Bernice, the youngest of the group, and the least affluent, is wise-cracking but always the first to tune in to a situation. Beloved and a guiding force to them all is Helen, a 50-something homemaker with her own experiences of war. When Annie’s fiancé is called up, Joan thinks there is nothing sadder in the world - that is, until she experiences her own love trauma. She falls instantly for a handsome man during a chance meeting. But she then bears the frustration of not knowing which girl he prefers, her or the bubbly redhead that won’t go away. Both girls are distracted by Bernice’s sudden and mysterious behavior, as she begins to disappear regularly into nearby Philadelphia for unknown reasons. Annie’s heart begins to break when her fiancé’s letters stop coming. Although Helen assures her this happens often when soldiers are moved around, her stable support begins to erode when, as the weeks tick by, she hears nothing from her own husband. Will their shared love of God and family be enough to keep them together an ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cece Whittaker.
