    Brain Changer: How Harnessing Your Brain's Power to Adapt Can Change Your Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 399min
    Let’s be honest. You've tried the sticky-note inspirations, the motivational calendar, and the cute (but ineffective) "carpe diem" mug - yet your attitude hasn't changed. It's time to apply cutting-edge science to the challenges of daily life. While everyone desires self-improvement, we are quickly frustrated when trying to implement the contradictory philosophies of self-appointed self-help gurus. Too often, their advice is based on anecdote and personal opinion, not real research. Bestselling author of What Makes Your Brain Happy and Why You Should Do the Opposite David DiSalvo returns with Brain Changer: How Harnessing Your Brain's Power to Adapt Can Change Your Life. Drawing on the latest research in neuroscience, cognitive psychology, behavioral economics, communications, and even marketing, DiSalvo replaces self-help with "science help." He demonstrates how the brain's enormous capacity to adapt is the most crucial factor influencing how we feel and act - a factor that we can control to change our lives. Findings show our brains are fluid and function much like a feedback loop: stimulants from both our environment and from within ourselves catalyze changes in the brain's response. That response then elicits additional inputs that the brain identifies and analyzes to further tailor its response. DiSalvo shows that the greatest internal tool we have to affect the feedback loop is metacognition ("thinking about thinking").Littered with relatable examples and tackling major aspects of our lives including relationships, careers, physical health, and personal development, Brain Changer shows you how to harness metacognition to enrich your life. ungekürzt.

    Mind to Matter: The Astonishing Science of How Your Brain Creates Material Reality , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 648min
    The idea that “thoughts become things” has become a meme in popular culture. It’s held as a firm proposition in metaphysics, and some spiritual teachers ascribe infinite powers to the mind. But are these claims scientifically accurate? What does the scientific evidence tell us about the scope of the human mind to transform thoughts into reality?  New research and new discoveries in epigenetics, neuroscience, electromagnetism, psychology, cymatics (the study of wave phenomena), public health, and quantum physics are demonstrating that thoughts can indeed be profoundly creative. In Mind to Matter, award-winning author Dawson Church examines the scientific facts and reviews the studies that show, step by step, exactly how our minds create material form. As each piece of the puzzle falls into place, the science turns out to be even more astonishing than the metaphysics.  Throughout the book, Church shares illuminating case histories - up-close, authentic personal accounts of people who had experiences of turning mind into matter. Drawn from the worlds of medicine, sports, business, healing, art, and scientific discovery, these stories run the gamut from profound to inspiring to heart-wrenching. Meticulously researched evidence is presented in highly relatable form, using engaging, understandable, nontechnical analogies.  As we discover how the universe operates synchronistically, we come to understand that while we have individual local minds, we also participate in universal nonlocal mind. Mind to Matter shows us that as we take charge of our individual power to create, we have the potential, as a species, to catalyze a transformation of our whole world. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Collected Poems 1947-1997
    Here, for the first time, is a volume that gathers the published verse of Allen Ginsberg in its entirety, a half century of brilliant work from one of America's great poets. The chief figure among the Beats, Ginsberg changed the course of American poetry, liberating it from closed academic forms with the creation of open, vocal, spontaneous, and energetic postmodern verse in the tradition of Walt Whitman, Guillaume Apollinaire, Hart Crane, Ezra Pound, and William Carlos Williams. Ginsberg's classics Howl, Reality Sandwiches, Kaddish, Planet News, and The Fall of America led American (and international) poetry toward uncensored vernacular, explicit candor, the ecstatic, the rhapsodic, and the sincere-all leavened by an attractive and pervasive streak of common sense. Ginsberg's raw tones and attitudes of spiritual liberation also helped catalyze a psychological revolution that has become a permanent part of our cultural heritage, profoundly influencing not only poetry and popular song and speech, but also our view of the world.The uninterrupted energy of Ginsberg's remarkable career is clearly revealed in this collection. Seen in order of composition, the poems reflect on one another; they are not only works but also a work. Included here are all the poems from the earlier volume Collected Poems 1947-1980, and from Ginsberg's subsequent and final three books of new poetry: White Shroud, Cosmopolitan Greetings, and Death & Fame. Enriching this book are illustrations by Ginsberg's artist friends; unusual and illuminating notes to the poems, inimitably prepared by the poet himself; extensive indexes; as well as prefaces and various other materials that accompanied the original publications.

    Purpose Power: How Mission-Driven Leaders Engage for Change , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 341min
    Former field organizer for Hilary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign, Alicia Bonner Ness provides inspiration for turning passion into action. Whether you’re itching to start a movement, in the midst of building a mission-driven brand, or rebranding an organization, Purpose Power will inspire you to imagine new possibilities. The book explains the Heptagon Method, a seven-step framework that helps you take big ideas from ideology to action. It instructs how you can motivate your allies to become advocates for your cause. Often, when you’re focused on sparking change, the natural instinct is to rush to action. This bias toward action and against analysis paralysis - the antithesis of enthusiasm and momentum - can be a real asset for organizations motivated to make a difference. But leaders should also be wary of haphazard action leading to inconsistent results. This book clarifies the strategic sequence of action required to catalyze a movement.Infused with instructive elements from the author’s own heart-felt life story, Purpose Power illustrates the incredible capacity of narrative to shake advocates, volunteers, and donors out of their apathetic slumbers. Stories take us by the hand and lead us into a new perspective so we can more clearly see what matters. We can all become champions of higher purpose. In a world where some of the mightiest can’t help but wonder if bending the arc towards justice is really worth the effort, Purpose Power offers a much-needed message of hope: we can learn as much from our failures as from our successes and really, it’s only fun if you’re not sure it’s going to work. ungekürzt.

    The Healthcare Heretic: Leadership for Disruptive Change , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 300min
    The Healthcare Heretic is both a call for disruptive change to a system that is clearly broken and a rallying cry to potential leaders of the economy of the future. It challenges the obsolete mind-set of the Industrial Age - decayed notions that have lulled corporations and the people who work for them into the illusion that doing things the “old way” is safe and that change is a danger to all.By exposing the myths, fears, and distorted belief systems that have caused people to sleepwalk through their life and work rather than live it courageously, Natalie Yeadon offers the listener - and the healthcare system - an opportunity to break free from the protectionist status quo and crippling establishment thinking that keeps us fettered to the past.Yeadon instead invites listeners to dare to assume a leadership role in the new, connected economy - one that promises congruency, authentic partnering, and more power in the hands of loyal “tribes”. New technologies and new partnerships promise to bring to the exploding medical field the commoditization of medical knowledge, empowered patients, and the catalyzing force needed to fuel a healthcare revolution.  About the author:Natalie Yeadon is an entrepreneur, a sought-after lecturer, and an inductee in the Top 100 Inspiring People in Pharma. Before entering the pharmaceutical industry, Yeadon spent four years as a radiation therapist treating cancer patients, which shaped her perspective on society’s big health issues. This life-and-death work also inspired the vision of her company Impetus Digital to catalyze authentic partnerships between healthcare stakeholders through online advisory boards and working groups. The Healthcare Heretic, her provocative first book, seeks to rattle healthcare leaders into evoking disruptive change.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andre Schikolenko.

    Emergent: Ignite Purpose, Transform Culture, Make Change Stick , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 334min
    Traditional hierarchical structures are falling - is your organization ready? Emergent provides a handbook for navigating - and thriving in - the new cultural paradigm. More than a simple DIY for change, this book empowers organizations to diagnose change risk, address current shortcomings, and adapt to the increasing current away from hierarchies to autonomous and interdependent networks. Unguided, most fail in their attempt; this shift exposes huge skills deficits, a lack of engagement, lack of value and meaning, market reach, penetration, and more. Here, a 20-year veteran of brand and culture transformation outlines a unique governance framework and blueprint for implementing and co-creating your own cultural shift. Methodologies from crowdsourcing and social movements are adopted as tools for initiating change and creating cultural cohesion around a higher purpose, and essential skills and tools help equip organizations and individuals for the emergent future. Today's workplace demands are creating extraordinary challenges for organizations; power is shifting, and the spotlight has forced businesses to engage with stakeholders in more meaningful ways, and to acknowledge a need for radical "humanization" of the workplace. To drive successful change you need to spark a movement. This book provides a way forward through the transition, with expert guidance and a clear, actionable framework for implementation. Adopt a unique governance framework for culture transformation Energize, mobilize and catalyze change, innovation, and growth Address skills deficits, values misalignment, failed engagement, and more Ignite your organization's purpose and forge sustainability for the future The demand for greater values alignment, autonomy and individual empowerment - fueled by technology and increasing interdependencies - is bringing down the traditional power structure.
