    Four Seasons in a Day: Travel, Transitions and Letting Go of the Place We Call Home , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 477min
    Deborah Jacobs quit the job from hell, rented her house, and planned to Airbnb her way through France. This inspiring memoir chronicles her misadventures as she and her husband cook in quirky kitchens, struggle to speak French, and shop like locals in outdoor markets. With candor and optimism, Jacobs transports listeners from the grape harvest in the Loire Valley to an exuberant chile pepper festival in Basque Country and, ultimately, to Paris, where she witnesses history in the making. En route, she does the pintxo bar crawl in San Sebastián, Spain, develops an affinity for sheep's milk cheese, and cultivates new friendships. Four Seasons in a Day, an expression used to describe the changeable weather in the Pyrenees, also captures the author's extreme resilience. Her grit and determination in the face of every obstacle give us the courage to chart our own course, carve out a new life, and embrace the unexpected. This audiobook is performed by Tavia Gilbiert, the 2017 Audie Awards winner for best female narrator. "This book is invaluable preparation for anyone thinking about long-term travel options." (Diane Cole, The Wall Street Journal) "Swiftly paced, well plotted, and full of vivid descriptions of food and the various places the author visits. Readers of travel literature will have plenty of reasons to keep turning pages." (The BookLife Prize)"There is a great deal to appreciate in Jacobs's account." (Publishers Weekly)   ungekürzt.

    Growing Happy Kids: How to Foster Inner Confidence, Success, and Happiness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 408min
    Every parent wants his or her child to be happy and grow into a productive, fulfilled adult...and according to parenting expert Maureen Healy, the secret to that success is in providing a foundation of inner confidence. Parents and teachers know that confidence and inner strength are important attributes, but in an era where self-worth is often measured by possessions and attractiveness, most have no idea how to model true inner confidence for their kids or how to help them cultivate it. Real power - or inner confidence - is necessary to overcome obstacles, pursue our unique dreams, and be truly happy. Maureen Healy, a spiritual teacher with twenty years of experience as a child development expert, literally traveled the world from the Bronx to the base of the Himalayas to learn the connection between inner confidence and lasting happiness, and she shares that wealth of knowledge in Growing Happy Kids. Combining her Buddhist training, her background in child psychology, and the latest scientific research, Maureen shares her revolutionary model that defines inner confidence and cultivates a child's sense of optimism and connection. She explores each part of her system, which she called The Five Building Blocks of Confidence, with the mind of a scientist, yet the softness of a real parent who wants to raise strong, happy children. By using those building blocks - biology, beliefs, emotions, social, and spiritual - parents, teachers, and anyone who touches the life of a child can gain the skills necessary to foster happy kids who are strong, self-reliant, and confident. ungekürzt.

    The Labyrinth Influence: Awaken the Wisdom Within , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 138min
    If just one step could change your life, would you take it? In The Labyrinth Influence: Awaken The Wisdom Within, we meet a woman searching for answers. After overcoming myriad challenges in work and life — a round of layoffs, her husband’s serious illness, and health issues of her own — the woman finds herself at the mouth of a labyrinth, unsure of her next move. Should she pursue the road less traveled and the potential to make a difference, or stick with the safety of what she has always known? Before she can find her path, she must let go of it all — her social conditioning, her definition of success, and even her concept of herself. Thus, the woman sets off on her journey, learning to trust herself in the labyrinth and beyond. Along the way, she encounters setbacks and challenges that make her question everything. But ultimately, she realizes that she has had the answers all along — she just had to figure out how to access them. In this moving business fable based on author PJ Jackson’s transformative experiences as an applied scientist and authority on women in business, the listener travels with the woman as she uncovers seven universal wisdoms and cultivates grace, power, and ease on the route to personal fulfillment. If you are ready to tap into your inner wisdom, identify your true purpose, and embrace your own unique value, then PJ Jackson — and The Labyrinth Influence: Awaken the Wisdom Within — is your guide. ungekürzt.

    The Compleat Gentleman: The Modern Man's Guide to Chivalry , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 515min
    At a time of astonishing confusion about what it means to be a man, Brad Miner has recovered the oldest and best ideal of manhood: the gentleman. Reviving a thousand-year tradition of chivalry, honor, and heroism, The Compleat Gentleman provides the essential model for 21st-century masculinity. Despite our confusion, real manhood is not complicated. It is an ancient ideal based on service to one's God, country, family, and friends, a simple but arduous ideal worthy of a lifetime of struggle. Miner's gentleman stands out for his dignity, restraint, and discernment. He rejects the notion that one way of behaving is as good as another. He belongs to an aristocracy of virtue, not of wealth or birth. Proposing neither a club nor a movement, Miner describes a lofty code of manly conduct, which, far from threatening democracy, is necessary for its survival. Miner traces the concept of manliness from the jousting fields of the 12th century to the decks of the Titanic. The three masculine archetypes that emerge, the warrior, the lover, and the monk, combine in the character of the "compleat gentleman". This modern knight cultivates a martial spirit in defense of the true and the beautiful. He treats the opposite sex with the passionate respect required by courtly love. And he values learning in the pursuit of truth, all with the discretion, decorum, and nonchalance that the Renaissance called sprezzatura. The Compleat Gentleman is filled with examples from the past and the present of the man our increasingly uncivilized age demands. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christopher Lane.

    Reporter: A Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 833min
    A Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2018.A Times Literary Supplement Book of the Year."Reporter is just wonderful. Truly a great life, and what shines out of the book, amid the low cunning and tireless legwork, is Hersh's warmth and humanity. This book is essential reading for every journalist and aspiring journalist the world over." (John le Carre)From the Pulitzer Prize-winning, best-selling author and preeminent investigative journalist of our time - a heartfelt, hugely revealing memoir of a decades-long career breaking some of the most impactful stories of the last half century, from Washington to Vietnam to the Middle East. Seymour Hersh's fearless reporting has earned him fame, front-page bylines in virtually every major newspaper in the free world, honors galore, and no small amount of controversy. Now in this memoir he describes what drove him and how he worked as an independent outsider, even at the nation's most prestigious publications. He tells the stories behind the stories - riveting in their own right - as he chases leads, cultivates sources, and grapples with the weight of what he uncovers, daring to challenge official narratives handed down from the powers that be. In telling these stories, Hersh divulges previously unreported information about some of his biggest scoops, including the My Lai massacre and the horrors at Abu Ghraib. There are also illuminating recollections of some of the giants of American politics and journalism: Ben Bradlee, A. M. Rosenthal, David Remnick, and Henry Kissinger among them. This is essential listening on the power of the printed word at a time when good journalism is under fire as never before. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Arthur Morey.

    Celtic Spirituality: Ancient Heritage and Living Legacy, Hörbuch, Digital, 291min
    Celtic Christianity has produced a kaleidoscopic array of saints, monks, and poets. In this series, Dominican Prof. Richard Woods cultivates more than 1,500 years of Celtic spirituality's rich traditions to acquaint you with the insight that these fascinating figures can offer us today. Follow along as Fr. Woods delves into the origins, development, and contributions of Christianity as it spread throughout the northwestern region of Europe. After considering what makes a spirituality "Celtic", you will engage a host of intriguing characters - from the third century to the present - who interpreted the Christian faith in terms of the customs and beliefs of their ancestors. The monks and saints who recorded the evolution of Celtic Christianity likewise preserved the oldest known north European pagan mythology. The lives of saints such as Patrick, Brigit, Columcille, and David of Wales - along with monastic rules - illustrate the vivid history that was celebrated and embellished as much as it was recorded. The saints therefore serve as the chief witnesses to the creation of a unique understanding of a life lived in spiritual, if not material, abundance. Fr. Woods does not stop with these, however; instead he goes on to explore the knowledge of diverse Celtic thinkers, dreamers, and even the occasional rascal. In the second set of talks, Fr. Woods provides historical sketches that convey a number of major themes: from a sense of nature as Creation - which involves an acute awareness of God's presence - to a vision of the end of time characterized by distinctive frankness. In the concluding discussion, he will bring you to consider what Celtic spiritualities have to say to a world poised once more on the edge of profound change. Delve into the rich legacy of the Celtic Church with this illuminating series today. Language: English. Narrator: Richard Woods.
