    God and the Editor: My Search for Meaning at the New York Times , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 667min
    For nearly 20 years Robert H. Phelps ran interference for, cheered on, and sometimes scolded star reporters and top editors at The New York Times. Starting his editing career at the desk of the Providence Journal-Bulletin, Phelps joined The New York Times as a copy editor, eventually serving as the Times news editor for the Washington bureau. Along the way he struggled with balancing his moral ideals and his personal ambition. In this compelling memoir, Phelps interweaves his personal and professional experiences with some of the most powerful stories of the era. With candor and keen observation, Phelps chronicles both the triumphant and the tragic events at the Times. He explains the missed lessons of the Pentagon Papers, why the Times played catchup with the Washington Post on the Watergate scandal but eventually surpassed it on covering that seminal story, and how the Times failed to report a key element of the riots at the 1968 Democratic convention. Phelps offers mixed appraisals of such luminaries as A. M. Rosenthal, James B. Reston, E. Clifton Daniel, and Max Frankel, and expresses great admiration for Seymour Hersh, Neil Sheehan, and Bill Beecher, three unlikely scoop artists. As Phelps settled in at The New York Times, journalism became the religion he had searched for since his adolescence. Over his tenure of nearly two decades, however, Phelps found that journalism's stark emphasis on fact was insufficient to address many of life's dilemmas and failed to provide the sustaining guidance he envied in his wife's Catholic faith. ungekürzt.

    Vergleich unterschiedlicher Therapiemöglichkeiten der Magersucht
    Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Psychologie - Klinische u. Gesundheitspsychologie, Psychopathologie, Note: 1,5, Universität Siegen, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: 1. Einleitung Der Fall des brasilianischen Supermodels Ana Carolina Reston, die mit 21 Jahren an ihrer Magersucht starb und/oder ähnlich tragische Geschichten, wie die des 22-jährigen Topmodels Luisel Ramos, die während einer Show mit Herzversagen nach einer vorherigen radikalen Hungerkur (12 kg Gewichtsabnahme in kürzester Zeit) zusammenbrach, tauchen gehäuft in den Medien auf und schockieren die Bevölkerung. (...) In der vorliegenden Arbeit steht die Sucht Anorexia Nervosa im Mittelpunkt der Auseinandersetzung. Ihr Bekanntheitsgrad ist in den letzten zwei bis drei Jahrzehnten deutlich angestiegen, was unter anderem auf die wachsende Anzahl der Betroffenen, insbesondere bei jungen Frauen im Alter zwischen 14 und 18 Jahren, sowie die häufigere Thematisierung in den Medien zurückzuführen ist. Neben dem allgemeinen Interesse an dieser Erkrankung motivierten mich insbesondere einige Fragen im Zusammenhang mit dieser Thematik, die in vielen Fachbüchern häufig aufgrund mangelnden Wissens oder weniger Informationen bisher nur ansatzweise oder gar nicht behandelt wurden. Es handelt sich dabei um Fragestellungen zum Thema der verschiedenen Therapiemöglichkeiten bei Magersucht und deren Wirksamkeit: Welche unterschiedlichen Behandlungsmöglichkeiten existieren für betroffene Magersüchtige und wie wirksam sind diese? Gibt es nach den Ergebnissen der aktuellen Forschung eine besonders gute bzw. schlechte Behandlungsmethode? Welche Schlussfolgerungen oder Konsequenzen könnte man aus diesen Resultaten ziehen? Doch bevor ich mich diesen speziellen Fragen im Hauptteil widme, soll im einführenden ersten Kapitel zunächst grundlegendes Wissen zu der psychischen Störung Essstörung im Allgemeinen und im zweiten Kapitel im Speziellen zur Magersucht vermittelt we

    The Courage to Be in Community: A Unitarian Universalist Sermon, Hörbuch, Digital, 54min
    Scientific evidence and personal experience tell us that sincere, engaging personal relationships are essential for health and happiness. Yet, little is said about how we might actively nurture such relationships for ourselves and for people near us at home and work. How do we balance the universal human needs of authenticity and acceptance in our personal lives? How might we foster communities where others have the courage to be truly themselves with us? Executive Coach Tony Mayo drew on the research of Brené Brown, Joseph Campbell, and others to compose this enthusiastically received non-sectarian sermon. Originally delivered to the Unitarian Universalist Church in Reston, it has now has been revised and expanded for publication. “Your message was loud and clear and magically delivered. Thank you.” “It’s rare that I find something so uplifting and encouraging. I am not a religious person and usually when I hear the word 'sermon' I run. His message is for everyone and stays clear of religious views that might preclude any person or group from understanding and enjoying what he has to share.” “A great reminder for me to continue to take risks in my life and get out of my comfort zone as well as trusting others. It also reminded me of the importance of meditation in my life.” “Courage, bravery, belonging, acceptance, compassion and more - and backs it up with insights, experience, AND academic references! I loved it!” “I found your sermon to be rich and meaningful.” “My life could use more courage just now, and your talk gave me some ideas that could help.” “I was fortunate enough to hear this sermon in real life and was glad to see that Tony has put it in writing so it will be easy to share. I love his distinction between courage that comes from the heart and bravery (related to bravado) that is put on like armor to conceal weakness. He encouraged us to live authentic lives, risking vulnerabil Language: English. Narrator: Tony Mayo. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/016474/bk_acx0_016474_sample.mp3.
