The Narcissistic Mother A - Z: Growing Up with a Narcissistic Mother , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 96min
I grew up with a narcissistic mother. For decades of my life, I had to deal with her emotional, narcissistic abuse. I had to live with the fact that I was a disappointment to her and wonder what I’d done so wrong to make her dislike me so much. I would yearn for her love and would do anything in order for her to show me some kind of affection - just some recognition that she was proud of me would have been welcomed with open arms. The Narcissistic Mother A - Z delves into the traits, characteristics, and behaviors of narcissistic mothers, using stories and examples from my own narcissistic childhood. The resulting audiobook is a thorough A-to-Z for fellow survivors of maternal narcissism, designed to be a cathartic, enlightening, and comforting listen for those who are still coming to terms with having a narcissistic parent. ungekürzt.

Apocalypse Child: A Life in End Times - a Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 402min
For the first 13 years of her life, Flor Edwards grew up in the Children of God. The group's nomadic existence was based on the belief that, as God's chosen people, they would be saved in the impending apocalypse that would envelop the rest of the world in 1993. Flor would be 13 years old. The group's charismatic leader, Father David, kept the family on the move, from Los Angeles to Bangkok to Chicago, where they would eventually disband, leaving Flor to make sense of the foreign world of mainstream society around her. Apocalypse Child is a cathartic journey through Flor's memories of growing up within a group with unconventional views on education, religion, and sex. Whimsically referring to herself as a real-life Kimmy Schmidt, Edwards's clear-eyed memoir is a story of survival in a childhood lived on the fringes. ungekürzt. Language: English.

From Rockaway , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 342min
Timmy and Chowderhead and Peg are lifeguards. They spend summers sitting in those tall chairs, smoking dope and staring at the waves, swatting insects, tormenting seagulls. Winters they work shit jobs like unloading trucks at Mickey's Deli. At night, winter and summer, they drink. Drink and get rowdy. Then there's Alex, the girl who gets away, not only from old boyfriend Timmy but also from "Rotaway" - on scholarship to a rich-kid's college in New England. One midsummer night when the four are reunited, tensions erupt in feats of daring and self-destruction during the wild, cathartic, near-sacred lifeguard ritual known as the Death Keg. Brilliantly capturing the restlessness and casual nihilism of working-class youth with no options, Jill Eisenstadt's acclaimed first novel startles in its power and originality, its depth of feeling, its bright and dark comic turns. ungekürzt.

New Media in Cyberspace , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 74min
After spending the last twenty years working in many positions within the music industry, as of the start of my studies, I have been in a privileged position to monitor and record the major upheaval that is currently ensuing throughout the new media industry of the present day. From 1997 onwards I have tracked the developments within new media distribution via the Internet and have followed with interest the revolution and phenomena that have followed. This thesis tries in part to address the spiritual, mental and physical aspects of a phenomenon that has started to re-shape how we communicate and distribute information to each other. This process of new media distribution, which has had a cathartic and sometimes revolutionary feel to its movement, has not at present been resolved and I have tried to understand both sides of the argument from the consumer to industry professionals. ungekürzt.

The Isotoner Ordeal , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 404min
Two murders. Two trials. And two kids who were not exactly guilty. The odd part is that the defendant in the first case is the lawyer in the second, which occurs in the same courtroom against the same prosecutor 15 years later. When young defense attorney David Stillman takes an alcohol-fueled hiatus from his law practice, he meets Michaela, an exotic older woman who gradually pulls the story of David's haunted and past out of him as a romance develops. While the relation by David of the childhood saga of he and his violent group of teenage friends proves cathartic, his relationship with the eccentric Michaela leads David down a bizarre path that leads him to question everything he thought he knew about his life - and the murder for which he narrowly escaped conviction years ago. ungekürzt.

Jackson, giving voice to the long-suffering father whose indifferent child will just not eat in this hilarious follow-up to Adam Mansbach's international best seller, Go the F--k to Sleep.Mansbach's long-awaited sequel is about that other great parental frustration: getting your little angel to eat something that even vaguely resembles a normal meal. Profane, loving, and deeply cathartic, You Have to F--king Eat breaks the code of child-rearing silence, giving moms and dads (new, old, grand-, and expectant) a much-needed chance to laugh about a universal problem.Anchored by a hilarious performance from Cranston, You Have to F--king Eat is the perfect blend of talented voice actor and subversive fun that expertly captures Mansbach’s trademark humor.

Mean Christianity: Finding Our Way Back to Christ's Likeness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 334min
Mean Christianity: Finding Our Way Back to Christ's Likeness explores the Christian faith as an intentional, daily commitment to others - a cathartic and uncomfortable journey that leads travelers to Christ's likeness. The book considers how and why individual Christians and the corporate body of Christ have come to be perceived negatively by so many. It describes the primacy of Christ as the central tenet of Christianity and offers seven "Jesus" life themes for every Christian. These themes, based on a qualitative study of the canonical gospels, assist listeners with the development of a framework for a Christlike life. The book defines Mean Christianity and considers its causes and costs. Listeners are confronted with both the possibility of meanness in the faith and in their actions and encouraged to consider a Christlike life as an alternative to meanness. Finally, listeners are introduced to the concepts of forgiveness, grace, and mercy as a part of God's broader plan for reconciliation and fullness in life. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Lonely Stories (eBook, ePUB)
A collection of essays about the joys and struggles of loneliness by 22 literary writers including: Lev Grossman, Jhumpa Lahiri, Lena Dunham, Jesmyn Ward, Yiyun Li, and Anthony Doerr. If you're feeling lonely or if you've ever felt unseen, if you're emboldened by solitude or secretly longing for it: Welcome to The Lonely Stories. This cathartic collection of personal essays illuminates what the experience is like for all of us. Some of these stories are heartbreaking, such as Jesmyn Ward's reckoning with the loss of her husband, Imani Perry's confrontation with chronic illness, and Dina Nayeri's reflection on immigrating to a foreign country. Others are witty, such as Lev Grossman's rueful tale of heading to the woods alone or Anthony Doerr's struggles with internet addiction. Still others celebrate solitude and the kind of clarity it can bring about, such as Claire Dederer's journey toward sobriety and Lidia Yuknavitch's sensual look at women and desire. Thoughtful and ultimately affirming, The Lonely Stories explores emotions that so often go undiscussed, and lets us all know that we're not alone.- Shop: buecher
