Narcissism and Leadership , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 135min
The destiny of humankind as a species fell on the shoulders of great men.The aim of the current book is to unravel the changes in narcissistic leadership that develop over time and to examine the potential mechanisms that are responsible for any such changes.The term “Narcissism” is derived from Ovid’s tale of Narcissus falling in love with his own reflection to the detriment of his true/real self, which caused him to perish. Although Ovid’s tale of Narcissus being obsessed by his image is void of any psychological examination, it is significant not merely for where the term “narcissism” is derived from, but more importantly for the constructive themes like unrequited self-love that resonated with later interpretations of narcissism as a personality trait.Such individuals’ maintenance of their self-esteem depends on the incessant use of certain mental functions. They are continually judging others usually pointing up the moral flaws in other people’s personality and behavior and, without shame or hesitation, they set themselves up as the guides and leaders and gods of those who are in need of guidance, of leadership, and as a target for their reverence.These psychoanalytical perspectives suggest that narcissists regulate their self-image through portrayals of grandiosity, which are often boundless, in turn leading to their rise into leadership positions.Scroll up and click the buy now button to grab a copy of this book! ungekürzt.

An Unfortunate Woman: A Journey , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 184min
This is Richard Brautigan's last novel, published posthumously in 2000, now in audio for the first time. Richard Brautigan was an original - brilliant and wickedly funny. His books resonated with the 1960s, making him an overnight counterculture hero. Taken in its entirety, his body of work reveals an artistry that outreaches the literary fads that so quickly swept him up. Dark, funny, and exquisitely haunting, his final book-length fiction explores the fragile, mysterious shadowland surrounding death. Told with classic Brautigan wit, poetic style, and mordant irony, An Unfortunate Woman assumes the form of a peripatetic journal chronicling the protagonist's travels and oblique ruminations on the suicide of one woman and the death of a close friend from cancer. After Richard Brautigan committed suicide, the manuscript of An Unfortunate Woman was found among his possessions by his only child, daughter Ianthe Brautigan. It had been completed over a year earlier but was still unpublished at the time of his death. Finding that it was too painful to face her father's presence page after page, she put the manuscript aside. Years later, having completed a memoir about her father's life and death, Ianthe Brautigan reread An Unfortunate Woman, and finally, clear-eyed, she saw that it was her father's work at its best and had to be published. ungekürzt.

In the Aftermath: Burning of the Dawn , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 913min
How do you cope with extinction? Do you accept it and fade away into nothing, or do you fight the inevitable? In the brutal aftermath of a global war, pockets of survivors around the world have chosen to fight. In the harsh light of day they face one another. On lone highways and in desolate towns, humans prey upon humans. As night falls a far more terrible fate awaits. A horrible creature dwells in the darkness; its purpose is to eradicate humankind. The world is full of monsters: those with human faces and those who eat human faces. This is the end; how do you cope with extinction? There was something bleak and hideous somewhere in this house. Daniel could feel shadowy hands reaching out to him: a residual haunting that screamed in silence, yet resonated throughout the hollow walls. Reluctantly, he made his way to the staircase leading up to the second floor. The heaviness intensified and the air began to taste foul as he ascended. What he was searching for was waiting for him up these stairs; he knew it was there and he knew that he had to see it. He didn't want to see it, but the souls of those murdered by the monsters demanded acknowledgment. If he did not give it to them, they would haunt him forever. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Judgment of Paris: The Revolutionary Decade that Gave the World Impressionism, Hörbuch, Digital, 400min
While the Civil War raged in America, another, very different revolution was beginning to take shape across the Atlantic, in the studios of Paris. The artists who would make Impressionism the most popular art form in history were showing their first paintings amid scorn and derision from the French artistic establishment. Indeed, no artistic movement has ever been, at its inception, quite so controversial. The drama of its birth, played out on canvas, would at times resemble a battlefield. With a novelist's skill and the insight of a historian, Ross King reveals how Impressionism would reorder both history and culture as it resonated around the world. A tale of many artists, The Judgment of Paris revolves around the lives of two, described as "the two poles of art": Ernest Meissonier, the most famous and successful painter of the nineteenth century, hailed for his precision and devotion to history; and Edouard Manet, reviled in his time, who nonetheless heralded the most radical change in the history of art since the Renaissance. Out of the most fascinating story of their parallel lives, illuminated by their legendary supporters and critics, King recalls a seminal period when Paris was the artistic center of the world, and a revolutionary art movement had the power to electrify and divide a nation.
