    Killer Care: How Medical Error Became America's Third Largest Cause of Death, and What Can Be Done About It , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 487min
    Each year in the US, a quarter of a million deaths are attributable to medical error. If the number shocks, on some level you already knew it was so. Everyone knows someone - perhaps it was yourself - who has suffered miserable treatment in American hospitals, part of the most elaborate, most extensive and expensive health-care system in the world. But it is perhaps the most inefficient. Misdiagnoses, wrong prescriptions, operating on the wrong patient, even operating on the wrong limb (and amputating it): These are the consequences of rampant carelessness, overwork, ignorance, and hospitals trying to get the most out of their caregivers and the most money out of their patients. What are we to do? Killer Care lays out the very real danger each of us faces whenever we enter a hospital. But more than that, it spells out what we can do to mitigate that risk. The book is also the story of the remarkable heroes fighting this plague of medical errors - patients and their families, but also doctors and nurses. Starting about 20 years ago, a number of victims and even some perpetrators of these errors began a social movement that offers us vital protections when we are most vulnerable: They have begun a cultural shift that is transforming every facet of health care. ungekürzt.

    Three Men in a Boat , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 374min
    Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome tells the story of three friends and their dog after they decide to take a boating trip along the Thames River. Taking a boat along the river was a popular way to spend a few days at the time, but most people who indulged in the activity probably didn't have as adventurous a time as J, George, Harris, and Montmorency the fox terrier when they came upon the perfect way (at least, it seems like this at the time) to spend their summer holidays. Suffering from a severe case of overwork, even though each of them avoid the activity as much as possible, they hire a boat and travel along the river between Kingston and Oxford. As they travel along, past picturesque little towns and villages, they marvel at the loveliness of the English countryside in the summer. Their journey is not without incident, however, and it soon becomes clear that these four are as adept at boating as they are at any other type of manual labor, and when the weather takes a turn for the worse they decide that their days of strange food concoctions, poor banjo playing, and swan fighting must come to an end. The book was published in 1889 and was originally meant to be a travel guide for that particular part of the Thames, but it soon took on a more comedic tone and to this day it regularly appears in top 100 lists of the funniest books of all time. ungekürzt.

    Spider #41 February, 1937: The Spider , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 199min
    Without any forewarning, the madness struck. One moment the busy steel-mill town of Keystone was a peaceful industrial community. The next, it had become a shambles of murder, madness, and ruthless midnight slaughter. Horror walked its streets, and terror lurked in every close-locked home. Could the Spider, hastening to answer the distressed call of the dismayed inhabitants, prevail against the death which struck from darkness? A stranger in a place of madness, unsupported by friends or allies, Richard Wentworth faces his greatest test - alone! After three years of writing the frantically paced tales of the Spider, Norvell W. Page suddenly dropped out. No one is sure why this was, but nervous strain due to overwork, along with making unforgiving monthly deadlines, are the likeliest explanations for his abandoning the Spider series. For several months, Emile C. Tepperman ghosted the series as Grant Stockbridge. Other writers stepped in to take up the slack. But Norvell W. Page refused to remain out of action for long. Like the Spider, his inborn sense of duty compelled him to return, where lesser writers who were his contemporaries, were falling by the wayside trying to keep up with the deadline demands of the Spider's pulpy competition. "There was a time when the burden of writing yet one more Spider seemed too much to undertake," Norvell W. Page subsequently wrote. "But I never feel that way anymore. I know now that the Spider actually does help people; that there are those who appreciate his idealism, even though it is expressed in violence."

    The Man Who Ruled in Hell: The Spider, Book 46 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 300min
    Will Murray's Pulp Classics #31 The Spider Audiobook #46, The Man Who Ruled in Hell by Norvell W. Page writing as Grant Stockbridge, read by Nick Santa Maria.For ten grim years, The Spider battled the Underworld, imprinting his scarlet seal on the bodies of the criminals he slew. No one knew his name. His face was unknown. Pursued by the police, sought by the mob, the Spider crushed crime with a blazing intensity never witnessed before or since. Now he's back with a vengeance in a new series of audiobooks retelling his pulp-pounding exploits, as chronicled by Norvell W. Page, writing as Grant Stockbridge. Never before or since has there been a hero like him. Driven, hunted, and violently committed to exterminating criminals of all calibers. A self-appointed savior of humanity, driven manic-depressive, and possibly undiagnosed paranoid schizophrenic, The Spider was known as the Master of Men. The most compelling of the classic pulp heroes, Richard Wentworth had a fiancé, a coterie of equally committed aides, and a tense relationship with New York Police Commissioner Stanley Kirkpatrick, Wentworth's best friend, but also a dedicated lawman sworn to send The Spider to the electric chair - no matter who he turns out to be. Garbed in a black silk cloak, slouch hat and wearing an assortment of masks and strange disguises to make him look as fierce as his namesake, the Spider ran roughshod over a vicious legion of thugs and hoodlums, leaving behind him a trail of cold corpses branded by his calling card, a scarlet spider burned into their foreheads. After three years of writing The Spider series, Norvell Page suddenly dropped out in the Fall of 1936. No one is sure why this was, but nervous strain due to overwork, along with making unforgiving monthly deadlines, are the likeliest explanations for Page abandoning the Spider series.

    Self-Discipline Handbook: Self-Discipline in 10 Days: Emotional Intelligence, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 162min
    Is there a goal in life that you want to achieve? Are you someone that has always had low self-discipline? Are you tired of always giving in to temptation? Self-Discipline Handbook is the audiobook that will teach you all the tricks and habits that you need in order to increase your self-discipline. Self-discipline is something that can be learned and taught; it is not something that you are born with. Just learning to build the right mindset will take you from someone who has never been able to achieve something to a person that has goals and is well on the way to achieving them. If you are someone that is struggling with self-discipline, this audiobook will help you improve upon it by teaching you the following topics:What self-discipline actually isThe power of willpower and delaying gratificationThe benefits of having self-discipline and the causes of having low self-discipline10 Steps to achieve self-discipline in 10 daysUtilizing visualization and meditation to help you achieve your goalsOvercoming procrastination by using your self-discipline to create motivation10 good habits to build that will improve self-disciplineRemoving obstacles like procrastination to discipline yourselfCommon challenges of self-discipline that you need to expectA myth behind self-discipline is that people will often think that those who exercise self-discipline often to pursue their goals “never have fun” or “is a workaholic”. However, this is extremely untrue. Self-disciplined people are able to maintain balance in their life and quite often, people who overwork themselves actually lack self-discipline. Self-discipline is all about breaking down a person’s bigger goals into smaller ones and making achieving the smaller goals a habit. When an action becomes a habit, people no longer have to think about doing those tasks and they can begin to do them on autopilot. When a ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Parker.

    Pussy: A Reclamation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 572min
    A New York Times best seller. Get ready to encounter a book that will change your experience as a woman in a powerful new way. Author, educator, and School of Womanly Arts founder Regena Thomashauer has been working with women for the past 25 years, and what began as just a few women in her living room has since grown into a global movement with thousands of graduates worldwide. In her newest book, Pussy: A Reclamation, you'll discover what no one taught you about the source of your feminine power and how to use it. It's no secret that women today are still undervalued at home, at work, and in relationships. Too many of us are at war with our bodies and disconnected from our truth. See, we live in a culture that teaches us to turn off. To play small. To take care of everyone else first. To keep a lid on our dreams and a cork in our truth. This book is written to reacquaint a woman with her own power source - which is the part of herself she has been taught to ignore, push down, and despise. Indeed, the word that most viscerally sums up that power is, as Regena puts it, "arguably the most powerful pejorative word in the English language". Like any expletive used effectively, the title of this book is meant to be a wake-up call. It is a reclamation in a world that desperately requires the feminine. Here's what you'll learn: The key practices required to seek and speak your deepest truth, no matter what How to embody radical self-celebration and why it will change your life How to end the war with your body - and, rather, see it for what it is: beautiful, sacred, powerful, and so, so worthy of approval How to trade depletion, obligation, overwork, and resentment for gratitude-filled, passionate contribution to our families, communities, and society Why a woman's sensual awareness is critical for her spiritual, intellectual, and emotional health ungekürzt.
