    Usually timid and subservient, councilor Golyadkin has lately become worryingly paranoid. After being humiliatingly thrown out of a party for acting erratically, he runs off into the night where he is shocked to come across a man who appears to be his exact double. The double follows him home and begins to insinuate himself into every part of Golyadkin's life, and alternates between befriending him and cruelly taunting him. Worse still, the double has all the qualities that Golyadkin himself lacks such as charisma, self-assurance, and decisiveness. Considered to be a response to the work of Gogol, this book explores themes of loneliness, individualism and man's search for identity, told through the eyes of an extremely unreliable individual. Can Golyadkin get rid of the double before he takes over his life completely? Just who is this bizarre man, and why is he persecuting Golyadkin? ungekürzt. Language: English.

    In 2006, Ben S. Bernanke was appointed chair of the Federal Reserve, capping a meteoric trajectory from a rural South Carolina childhood to professorships at Stanford and Princeton, to public service in Washington's halls of power. There would be no time to celebrate, however - the burst of the housing bubble in 2007 set off a domino effect that would bring the global financial system to the brink of meltdown. In The Courage to Act, Bernanke pulls back the curtain on his efforts to prevent a mass economic failure, working with two US presidents and using every Fed capability, no matter how arcane, to keep the US economy afloat. His experiences during the initial crisis and the Great Recession that followed give listeners an unequaled perspective on the American economy since 2006, and his narrative will reveal for the first time how the creativity and decisiveness of a few key leaders prevented an economic collapse of unimaginable scale. ungekürzt.

    The roots of mindfulness come from Buddhism, which is a belief system that is more than 2,000 years old. Ancient scriptures hold Buddha's teachings, and one verse begins with the following idea: Mindfulness is the way to enlightenment. While most philosophical minds claimed that enlightenment came through an accumulation of ideas, the Buddha believed humankind could only achieve enlightenment through being mindful of every personal experience. Mindfulness practice removes our lives from "autopilot" and opens up a brand new way of living that increases attentiveness, confidence, self-awareness, decisiveness, and keeps us grounded. Through mindfulness, we learn a more effective way to deal with life's hazards and get more enjoyment from the smallest pleasures in our lives. In essences, we find the key to unlocking our full potential. There are eight ways to develop our minds in order to liberate ourselves. This audiobook uses these notions of mindfulness to construct a path for you to maneuver through modern society. Let us begin our 21-day journey to a life filled with the richness of mindfulness. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Hatak.

    William Howard Taft (September 15, 1857-March 8, 1930) was the twenty-seventh president of the United States (1909-1913) and later the tenth chief justice of the United States (1921-1930). He is the only person to have served in both of these offices. Riding a wave of popular support for fellow Republican Roosevelt, Taft won an easy victory in his 1908 bid for the presidency. In his only term, Taft's domestic agenda emphasized trust busting, civil service reform, strengthening the Interstate Commerce Commission, improving the performance of the postal service, and passage of the Sixteenth Amendment. Abroad, Taft sought to further the economic development of nations in Latin America and Asia through Dollar Diplomacy and showed decisiveness and restraint in response to revolution in Mexico. The task-oriented Taft was oblivious to the political ramifications of his decisions, often alienated his own key constituencies, and was overwhelmingly defeated in his bid for a second term in the presidential election of 1912. In surveys of presidential scholars, Taft is usually ranked near the middle of lists of all American presidents. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Greenman.
