    Ordinary World: Andi Cutrone, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 516min
    Four little words. That’s all it took. Just four words to turn Andi Vanzant’s world upside down. Until then, Andi thought her life was perfect: married to an adoring man, recently tenured at Northampton University, and a published author. But when her husband is killed by a drunk driver just blocks from their home, his death plunges Andi into a grief from which she cannot imagine ever surfacing. Her family and friends do their best to help her pick up the pieces, but nothing they do or say will ever bring back what Andi lost that night. Andi’s widowed mother advocates stoicism, her best friend, Maggie, is frustrated that Andi is not trying harder to rally from her loss, and Andi’s therapist encourages her to heal unresolved issues. Despite their efforts, she is resistant to any and all advice. When an unexpected reunion renews an old friendship, Andi sees signs of hope that someday she can be happy again. She begins to take tentative steps toward starting over, daring to live a life different from the one she’d always envisioned. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cynthia Barrett.

    The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert: An English Professor's Journey into Christian Faith , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 435min
    Rosaria, by the standards of many, was living a very good life. She had a tenured position at a large university in a field for which she cared deeply. She owned two homes with her partner, in which they provided hospitality to students and activists that were looking to make a difference in the world. In the community, Rosaria was involved in volunteer work. At the university, she was a respected advisor of students and her department's curriculum. Then, in her late 30's, Rosaria encountered something that turned her world upside down - the idea that Christianity, a religion she had regarded as problematic and sometimes downright damaging, might be right about who God was. That idea seemed to fly in the face of the people and causes that she most loved. What follows is a story of what she describes as a train wreck at the hand of the supernatural. These are her secret thoughts about those events, written as only a reflective English professor could. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rosaria Champagne Butterfield.

    Summary of Adam M. Grant's Give and Take: Why Helping Others Drives Our Success , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 25min
    For generations, we have focused on the individual drivers of success: passion, hard work, talent, and luck. But today, success is increasingly dependent on how we interact with others. It turns out that at work, most people operate as either takers, matchers, or givers. Whereas takers strive to get as much as possible from others and matchers aim to trade evenly, givers are the rare breed of people who contribute to others without expecting anything in return. Using his own pioneering research as Wharton's youngest tenured professor, Adam Grant shows that these styles have a surprising impact on success. Although some givers get exploited and burn out, the rest achieve extraordinary results across a wide range of industries. Combining cutting-edge evidence with captivating stories, Grant shows how one of America's best networkers developed his connections, why the creative genius behind one of the most popular shows in television history toiled for years in anonymity, how a basketball executive responsible for multiple draft busts transformed his franchise into a winner, and how we could have anticipated Enron's demise four years before the company collapsed - without ever looking at a single number. ungekürzt.

    BDSM 101: Tenure and Leather , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 36min, (USK 18)
    Poison Pond is a small, traditional town which holds on to its morals as tightly as it can. One of the most admired members of the community is Janelle, a tenured professor in the Biology department at the local university. Janelle's fascination with the body is more than scientific though - it's also very sexually motivated. Janelle isn't a professor because she has to be, but rather, because she is already so independently wealthy that she teaches just for fun. As a result of her high-class upbringing, Janelle can come across as a bit demanding. Usually Janelle can keep this under wraps while out and about in the community, but behind closed doors, that domineering personality is out in full force. Janelle is also a sex therapist - and BDSM is her specialty. There is one particular client right now, Jorge, who is using Janelle's sexual expertise to fully explore what it is like to be a submissive. Up to this point Jorge lived a life of discipline and control, but under Janelle's guidance he is beginning to see how pleasurable it is to be dominated. Neither Janelle nor Jorge see the surprise twist coming at the end. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ruby Rivers.

    From the Back of the Bus to the Front of the Classroom: My Thirty-Year Journey as a Black and Blind Professor , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 245min
    After 30 years as a professor in the field of communication studies, Dr. Smith reminisces about some of his experiences and how his race and differently abled intersectionality have influenced documented encounters. As a Black and totally blind individual, he muses about how this distinction has both colored and shed light on what might have been innocuous or unremarkable encounters otherwise. This narrative charts his journey from leaving for graduate school to his present position as a tenured professor at a Midwest institution of higher learning. The memoir is riveting because of its vulnerability, candid honesty, and fresh transparency, as well as its conversational tone and quality. It is simultaneously an enjoyable story but one that can also cause reflection and soul-searching without much warning. While the challenges of race and differently-abled issues are documented (and sometimes painfully so), Dr. Smith ultimately concludes that for the most part, these unique foci resulted in more positive outcomes than negative ones. It seems that only in America is this story possible, and the ultimate success of this memoir is clearly due to a strong faith in God, consistent and contagious family support, and hard work and perseverance. ungekürzt.

    Teach Me , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 411min, (USK 18)
    Two words stripped Austin Pritchard of the privileged life he was used to. The moment he uttered the words "I'm gay," he realized there is no such thing as unconditional love. Now he's gone from traveling the world with his family to living on the streets, trying to figure out how he's going to stay in school. A chance opportunity changes everything. Austin impresses the foreman and lands a job, but even more, he catches the eye of David Becker, who is determined to teach him that true love doesn't come with strings. The only thing David had as a child was love. His family struggled to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads. That has driven him to stay focused on his goals, become a tenured professor at a university, and save enough money to build a home of his own. It's not until he sees an insecure college student working on his new house that he realizes he hasn't planned on someone to share his life with. He's about to learn that everything he's already accomplished is nothing compared to the task of making Austin see that he is worthy of love. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christopher Rain.
