Redefining Leadership: Character-Driven Habits of Effective Leaders , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 381min
Is successful leadership measured simply by the outcomes a leader achieves, or is there another - more essential - yardstick for measuring success? In Redefining Leadership, author, pastor, and college president Joe Stowell shows us that the best leaders are driven by Christ-formed character, and that truly successful leadership is not defined by the standards of this world but by the counter-intuitive practices and perspectives of the Kingdom of Christ. With compelling personal stories and insights from the Bible, he highlights the contrast between these two radically different leadership styles and demonstrates that the teaching and example of King Jesus, the world's most unlikely leader, is the only model of leadership that leads to maximum results, results that will have an eternal impact. ungekürzt.

Rob Delaney: Mother. Wife. Sister. Human. Warrior. Falcon. Yardstick. Turban. Cabbage. , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 248min
From a Deadpool 2 fan favorite comes a “hilarious, raw” (Rolling Stone) memoir about love, sex, parenthood, work, substance abuse, and everything else that makes life wonderful and/or horrible. Rob Delaney is a comedy superstar. But if you’re ever watched him steal scenes as Peter in Deadpool 2, binged his streaming series Catastrophe, encountered his raunchy and mischievous Twitter presence, or witnessed the hilarious and painful sharing he does in his stand-up, you already know that. In his first book, he traces his journey from middle-class theater geek to public menace to devoted family man and passionately engaged model citizen - from his youthful obsession (and pen pal relationship) with heavy metal band Danzig and an episode of drunken bungee jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge, to his court-ordered stint in rehab and the miracle of his son’s birth. All together, these essays make clear why it is he is so darn lovable - and so f#!%ing funny.Praise for Rob Delaney:“Unlike some books by comics, Delaney’s volume offers a rich, deeply considered (and yes, funny) look at his life.... A great read by any standard, but even more so for including stories about needing (and failing) to find a bathroom while jogging.” (E! Online)“One of the most hilarious bundles of words we have ever read.” (Vice)“A book as funny, sincere, weird, wet, and wonderful as Rob Delaney himself.” (Jimmy Kimmel)“Heart-wrenchingly true tales exuding self-effacing whimsy and smart-guy charm.” (Splitsider)“Delaney has a knack for pinpointing what’s hilarious and sad about adolescent bed-wetting and his own abundant body hair, but somehow the darkest chapters [in this book] make you laugh hardest.” (Entertainment Weekly)“Rob Delaney has done it again! Actually, this is his first book, so he has not ‘done it again.’ Actually, this book is so good, I doubt he will be able to do it again. He’s pea ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rob Delaney.

Memoirs and Political Observations of a Midwestern W.A.S.P.: A View from Flyover Country , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 450min
The memoir portion of the book covers my Christian upbringing (first to eighth grades at St John’s Lutheran), my military experience, being stationed in three European countries where I learned two additional languages, travels to more than 25 countries in more than three continents, 60 years of study and training as a martial artist - which included completion in the US and Germany - nearly 48 years as a career police officer, and nearly 15 years as an associate professor of political science. The rest of the book discusses and evaluates politicians and political parties by Christian/biblical values. Listeners should evaluate the politicians and parties they support by putting them against the Christian yardstick. If they fail to measure up or violate biblical teachings and/or the Ten Commandments, they should seriously consider a change. Continuing to support these politicians make the supporter complicit in their sinful nature and conduct. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Borys.

Working with Emotional Intelligence, Hörbuch, Digital, 204min
Do you work for an emotionally intelligent organization? In his phenomenal best seller Emotional Intelligence, Daniel Goleman, Ph.D. mapped the territory where emotional intelligence meets I.Q. - where we apply what we know to how we live. His benchmark work validated what many successful people already knew: Being smart isn't just a matter of mastering facts; it's a matter of mastering your own emotions and understanding the emotions of the people around you. Now, in Working with Emotional Intelligence, Dr. Goleman shows why emotional intelligence has become the new yardstick of success for CEOs and junior hires alike. Drawing on both unparalleled access to business leaders and cutting-edge research, he shows that star performance in every field depends more on emotional intelligence than on I.Q. or technical skills. You'll be surprised to learn how the impact of emotional intelligence is even greater at the top of the leadership pyramid and will benefit from the real-life examples from the business world that Goleman uses to illustrate his theory.

Science in the Forest, Science in the Past (eBook, ePUB)
Science in the Forest, Science in the Past: Further Interdisciplinary Explorations comprises of papers from the second of two workshops involving a group of scholars united in the conviction that the great diversity of knowledge claims and practices for which we have evidence must be taken seriously in their own terms rather than by the yardstick of Western modernity. Bringing to bear social anthropology, history and philosophy of science, computer science, classics and sinology among other fields, they argue that the use of such dismissive labels as 'magic', 'superstition' and the 'irrational' masks rather than solves the problem and reject counsels of despair which assume or argue that radically alien beliefs are strictly unintelligible to outsiders and can be understood only from within the system in question. At the same time, they accept that how to proceed to a better understanding of the data in question poses a formidable challenge. Key problems identified in the inaugural workshop, whose proceedings were published in HAU: Journal of Ethnographic Theory (2019) and in HAU Books (2020), provided the basis for asking how obvious pitfalls might be avoided and a new or revised framework within which to pursue these problems proposed. The chapters in this book were originally published in Interdisciplinary Science Reviews.- Shop: buecher
