    Brave , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 482min
    From the author of NYT best sellers Easy and Breakable - a new stand-alone novel in the Contours of the Heart series Courage means rising up to defend your beliefs...or daring to question them. Erin McIntyre was captivating but forbidden. His professional subordinate. The embodiment of unearned privilege. The daughter of his sworn enemy. Isaac Maat was impossible to read. Smart, ambitious, and emotionally detached. Hotter than anyone's boss should ever be. And definitely hiding something. He told himself that getting to know her would help him take down her father. She told herself that getting under his skin would distract her wrecked heart from its misery. Neither predicted their private war would lead to an intimate battle in which the victor would be the first one to surrender. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christy Romano.

    Anna , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 763min
    Many tragic and many glorious events took place in the period from the late 1800’s to the 1970’s. Wars were fought, lives were created and lost, and fortunes were made and lost. Some by the natural hand of fate and others by the schemes of bad people who cared little about the suffering they caused. But it was love that would eventually bring the lost back into the fold, erase the unearned sins of the innocent, and ultimately triumph over tragedy and loss. This historical tale, taking place in and around Aurora, Texas, portrays persons only partly imagined. It is about hard times, forbidden romance, and the unstoppable movement of hands on the clock. It is a story of being found after being lost, of crying out in the night then receiving unanticipated, unimagined comfort. It is also about the weak rising up to exact deadly revenge on evil people. Above all, it is a story about the transcendence of love persisting through chaotic fate and the incoherent, intolerant rules of society. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kenneth Ellison.

    Inequality and the Collapse of Privilege : An Of Two Minds Essential, Volume 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 202min
    Inequality is rising globally, and rising inequality is destabilizing. A status quo of increasing inequality self-destructs. To avoid this fate, we must answer this question: Why is the gulf between the wealthy and everyone else widening so dramatically?The answer boils down to one word: privilege.What is privilege? There are many types of privilege, but they all share two characteristics: Privilege delivers benefits, wealth, and power that are unearned. Privilege is destabilizing for many reasons: The dead weight of privilege reduces productivity, generates perverse incentives, and fuels social injustice. Innovation and competition are threats to privileged monopolies and are therefore suppressed.The only way to foster sustainable stability is to eradicate privilege. We have a moral imperative to eradicate privilege: Privilege is immoral, as rising inequality is the only possible output of privilege. Privilege is exploitive, parasitic, predatory, and destructive to the society and economy and generates inequality by its very nature. Stripped to its essence, privilege is nothing but institutionalized racketeering.The only way to reverse rising inequality is to eradicate its source: privilege. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    A Hacker’s Teleology: Sharing the Wealth of Our Shrinking Planet , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 386min
    What every human wants is fairness, a chance to belong that offers everyone opportunities to get ahead by our own merit and a say when decisions are made.Even before the global upheavals, our system was failing - it wasn’t fair at all. Now that it’s unraveling, it’s time for a new arrangement that’s actually sustainable on our resource-depleted planet that doesn’t favor wealthy insiders.Those gorging on inequality will never accept reforms that strip away their unearned privileges, and so the only practical way forward is a Hacker’s Teleology. What’s a Hacker’s Teleology? A hack is a workaround in a kludgy, broken system - a new way of connecting the dots. Teleology means the destination we end up reaching because that’s where the dots lead.In this book, I connect the dots of my own life experiences to show how a sustainably fair way of organizing human activity would work. In telling my story, I’m also telling our story, because we all share our limited-resources world and the same aspirations for fairness, belonging, getting ahead and a say in our future.So let’s get started on an arrangement that actually works for all of us - and our world. ungekürzt.

    Hater: On the Virtues of Utter Disagreeability , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 249min
    A timely manifesto urging us to think critically, form opinions, and then argue them with gusto.Hater begins from a simple premise: that it's good to hate things. Not people or groups or benign belief systems, but things. More to the point, it's good to hate the things everyone seems to like.Scan the click-baiting headlines of your favorite news or pop-culture website, and you're likely to find that just about everything is, supposedly, "what we need right now." We are the victims of an unbridled, unearned optimism. And our world demands pessimism. It's vital to be contrarian - now, as they say, more than ever. Because ours is an age of calcified consensus. And we should all hate that.In this scathing and funny rebuke of the status quo, journalist John Semley illustrates that looking for and identifying nonsense isn't just a useful exercise for society, it's also a lot of fun. But Hater doesn't just skewer terrible TV shows and hit songs - at its core it tells us how to meaningfully talk about and engage with culture, and the world. Ultimately, Hater is what we actually need right now. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Semley. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/prhc/000631/bk_prhc_000631_sample.mp3.

    Grace: A Leader's Guide to a Better Us , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 380min
    John Baldoni’s new book on the power of grace is a must-listen for all of us, particularly for anyone seeking to serve in a leadership role. In a world where good manners and courtesy sometimes seem to have gone out of style, this audiobook is a practical guide for bettering relationships in all types of human connections.In a spiritual sense, grace is unearned, and as such, it is yours to use for the betterment of self and others. Grace, as a gift, is a catalyst for positive change to enable the greater good. Baldoni’s Grace mixes stories of everyday heroes with interviews of notable thought leaders.The results give practical insights into generosity, respect, and compassion coupled with the energy and actions it takes to deliver on these virtues. Creating an acronym, Baldoni helps us distinguish the attributes of grace in generosity, respect, action, compassion, and energy.We can apply these universal truths in ordinary as well as extraordinary situations. The many examples of grace in everyday life allow us to witness human dignity and humility and remind us what wonders we can accomplish when working together.This is an inspiring collection of personal stories that combines wisdom with positive outcomes. ungekürzt.

    In the Hall of the Martian King , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 560min
    With the soul of 36-century humanity at stake, Jak Jinnaka steps in... now we're really in trouble. Jak Jinnaka parlayed his powerful family connections, unearned media fame, and consistent dumb luck into a cushy job as vice procurator of the Martian moon Deimos, an office he precariously maintains alongside his top-secret post as a station chief for Hive Intelligence - two soft jobs for an already rich, handsome, single young man in a fun-loving colonial outpost. Sadly, when his boss takes a well-deserved vacation, it looks like Jak may actually have to do a little work - keep local trade humming, maintain the Hive's hegemony, prevent the boss' pretty teenage niece's internship from becoming front-page celebrity gossip, and make sure his rambunctious visiting uncle Sib doesn't cause international incidents among the thousands of prickly petty kingdoms on Mars. Then, in one of the pettiest kingdoms of all, the lifelog of the man who wrote the Wager - a set of principles that guides all human life in the 36th century - is discovered, and the race is on for control of the holiest relic in a thousand years, with Jak in the lead and all of the devils and angels of his past howling at his heels. ungekürzt.
