Do Less
'I inhaled Do Less and as I finished, I found myself breathing easier. Important book, perfect timing.' - Glennon Doyle, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Untamed"There's nothing particularly easy about being a working mother... But there are some key things we can do to make it easier."In our culture, the way we work isn't working. Our addiction to busyness and obsession with always trying to do more leads us to feel like we're always failing our families, our careers, our spouses, and ourselves.We need to revolutionize the way we work. It's not acceptable to work ourselves to the brink of exhaustion, to constantly be "on-call" and checking our work e-mail around the clock.How do we fix the system? The answer isn't some corporate policy. And it isn't "leaning in." It's a system within ourselves, in our daily work lives, and in our homes.Because the only way to create a new system is to be it.Instead of "leaning in," and "doing it all," entrepreneur and best-selling author Kate Northrup invites you to experiment with doing less. By doing less, paradoxically, you can have - and be - more.In this book, you'll get the permission and tools to change the way you approach your life, and embrace living in tune with the cyclical nature of the feminine. By cutting out the extraneous busyness, you'll have more satisfaction and joy, and you'll let yourself be more often instead of doing all the time."This book will help free many women to fly into the destinies they were born for." - Dr. Shefali Tsabary, New York Times best-selling author- Shop: buecher

Rock Your Query: A Simple System for Writing Query Letters and Synopses, Rock Your Writing , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 38min
Fiction editors and agents get hundreds of queries a day. How do you stand out? How do you go from the slush pile to a contract? First, you need to understand that the fiction proposal package of query and synopsis isn't about your novel. It's about showing how well you know your target audience, either editor or agent, and how well you're able to address his or her specific needs. A great query letter gets them to read your synopsis. A comprehensive, thoughtful synopsis then shows your next skill: Not only do you know what an editor or agent needs, you know how to identify and showcase a complete story arc with escalating conflict and clear GMC. A solid synopsis gets them to read your manuscript. Your manuscript will be what gets you the contract. But how do you write a great query letter and solid synopsis? By researching specific targets, and writing a focused query that incorporates pertinent details that show that you've done your homework. By writing a mini-synopsis for your novel that only hits what the target wants to know: Who is this story about, what are they doing, and why do I care? By writing a full synopsis, that shows you understand what drives a story, and that has all pertinent plot points. You also show that you know how to be succinct enough to focus on the plot points only, and leave any extraneous details out, not wasting your target's time. This audiobook gives you specific instructions. In step-by-step detail, with simple templates, this audiobook shows you what you need to do to create a fiction proposal package of query letter and synopsis that will get you out of the slush pile - and gets your novel in the hands of agents and editors. ungekürzt.

Tyre: The History of the Ancient Trade Center under Phoenician, Greek, and Roman Rule , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 75min
Son of man, because Tyre said concerning Jerusalem 'Aha, the gate of the peoples is broken; it has swung open to me. I shall be replenished, now that she is laid waste,' therefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and will bring up many nations against you, as the sea brings up its waves. They shall destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers....And she shall become plunder for the nations, and her daughters on the mainland shall be killed by the sword. Then they will know that I am the Lord. - Book of Ezekiel 26: 1-14 Across the eastern Mediterranean there has been discovered a great number of objects whose appearance or materials are extraneous to local cultures, whether it was an Egyptian amulet in Greece, a Greek vase in Africa, or thousands of strange amulets in Gibraltar. The remains are evidence that a huge amount of goods was once moved from one land to another, systematically transported and traded across the Mediterranean by the ancient commercial network of the Phoenicians. Beginning in the 13th century BCE, and lasting for more than a millennium, this civilization dominated the most important body of water known to the ancients. With their formidable ships and skills in trading, they made a name for themselves by trading between Egypt, Greece, Rome, Carthage, Sardinia, Spain, and eventually all the way to the Atlantic Ocean, establishing themselves as the undisputed lords of the sea. A network of this size, with hundreds of colonies and thousands of ships, had to be well coordinated, and it was thanks to important cities along the Mediterranean coast. One of the most crucial cities in the system was hidden beneath the Greek, Roman, and Crusader ruins of Lebanon: the ancient city of Tyre. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Clem.

The Roman Empire: The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 113min
There are, to be sure, hundreds if not thousands of books on the Roman Empire: a book on every emperor, a book on every century, a book on every battle or assassination, a book on every meal enjoyed by every despotic Caesar. The Roman Empire has been the subject of countless tomes and innumerable movies. Why, then, should you take another look?Because - to be blunt - the books tend to be bloated and the movies, interminable. A quick scan of the particulars reveals that books on the Roman Empire are undeniably plentiful - and undeniably long. Before a listener gets past Romulus and Remus, the very length of the book becomes a distraction. The listener is only a few pages into the history and already dreading the monumental amount of time that will be required to finish it. The book is set aside in frustration.The Roman Empire: The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire lets you avoid all of that. Instead of snooze-inducing, micro-detailed accounts of what Hannibal’s rear guard soldiers had for lunch two days before leaving Carthage for Italy, you’ll get only the pertinent details of the Roman Empire’s existence. No extraneous details, no bloat. This is history as it’s meant to be written: factual, concise, informative, and entertaining.Unlike the ancient world of Rome, the modern world moves very fast. Your time is valuable, as is your interest in the world around you. The Roman Empire: The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire allows you to satisfy both needs. Accessibly written and easily digestible in small bites, you’ll get your fill of the Roman Empire’s smorgasbord of characters and events.You already know, if vaguely, some of the characters: Julius Caesar, Nero, Constantine. Prepare to meet many more. Prepare to be surprised. History is seldom predictable, and no history is less predictable than that of the Roman Empire. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Nasa Voyager Space Sounds (Complete) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 311min
Although space is a virtual vacuum, this does not mean there is no sound. Sound exists as electromagnetic vibrations. The specially designed instruments aboard the space probes were designed to pick up and record electromagnetic vibrations. This information, when sent back to Earth and decoded, can be heard as intriguing and beautiful sounds from space. The real music of the spheres. The sounds you hear are from decoded information on interactions of the solar ionic wind, the planet's magnetosphere, plasma wave phenomena and interactions between the planet's ionosphere and magnetosphere. These vibration frequency recordings are all within the range of human hearing (20-20,000 cycles per second). These recordings have been specially processed, filtered, and spacially mastered in 3-D sound with frequencies for achieving deep states of relaxation.In order to achieve the best possible quality in audio reproduction, these tapes are processed on special high-end chrome tape, Coherence Technology™ for removing all extraneous noise, HX Pro for super high fidelity, 3-D sound processing using the BASE System™, and our own BMR Processing™.The epic space flights of Voyager I and II soar across our Solar System. This unique series of recordings is created from original Voyager recordings of the electromagnetic "voices" of the planets and moons in our Solar System. Although space is a virtual vacuum, this does not mean there is no sound in space. Sound does exist in electronic vibrations. The specially designed instruments on board the Voyagers performed special experiments to pick up and record these vibrations, all within the range of human hearing. Hear the beautful songs of the planets. The complex interactions of the cosmic plasma of the universe, charged electromagnetic particles from the solar wind, planetary magnetosphere, rings and moons create vibration "soundscapes" which are at once utterly alien and deeply familiar to the human ear.

Krissy - A BDSM Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 314min, (USK 18)
Krissy is an attractive young blonde, living in a big city. She makes a living as a commercial model and convention hostess, entertaining men who want her hot looks and voluptuous body. In truth, she couldn’t care less about the men she dates; she prefers women when it comes to sex. However, when it comes to making money, she’s perfected the perfect con game, luring wealthy men to cheap hotels where she teases the mark with her girl-next-door sex-appeal, then drugs them, robs them and splits before they even know what hit them. Her clever disguises prevent her from being easily identified, and in order to further confuse the cops, she litters the crime scenes with so much extraneous forensic evidence that the police still don’t know that it’s a single and very enterprising female behind the robberies. However, one day, after a falling out with Tito, the mid-level crime boss who fences what she steals, Krissy’s luck suddenly runs out. Tito arranges for her to be picked up by a pair of corrupt vice cops who know how to make pretty young women disappear. After being taken by the cops, she’s turned over to a frightening older man who trains those "disappeared" young women to be sex slaves for wealthy men all over the world. Even the shrewd Krissy is no match for the men who hold her captive. Whisked into a nightmare she’s unable to stop, she’s held captive, restrained, and is vilely used by men she hates. When the resistant Krissy is given a choice to submit or be cruelly punished, she knows that surrender is the only way to save herself. As time goes by the last embers of her resistance are stamped out as she is trained to service men. For Adults only: Featuring male and female domination of Krissy and her fellows slaves, abduction, bondage, confinement, humiliation, exhibitionism, punishment, whipping, shackles, collar and leash, plus graphic lesbian and straight sex. ungekürzt.

Malevolent and High Conflict Custody Cases with Narcissists: Divorce Court, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 28min
If the thought of entering into a high-conflict custody case terrifies you, you are not alone. Most partners who are in a relationship with a narcissist are too terrified to leave them for fear of losing custody of their children. Sadly, even when the narcissist is toxic and immoral, he stands a better chance of winning custody than the overwrought, emotionally terrorized victim that he had been abusing and controlling long before the relationship fell apart.In 20 minutes, we will give you examples of high-conflict custody cases with narcissists who used sneaky and diabolical court tactics to win custody from a fit partner. If you walk into the court without having some knowledge of past cases and the narcissist’s tactics listed in audiobook one of this Divorce Court series, you will most likely be fighting a losing battle. Arm yourself with knowledge and power to gain a tactical advantage on the narcissist in court, and don’t become more of a victim to him than you already are. This audiobook refers to the narcissist as a "he", but the narcissist in the relationship and divorce proceedings can also be a "she". The pronouns are interchangeable for the purposes of this audiobook.Parental alienationMost narcissists won’t lift a finger while they are in a relationship to help with the child-rearing. However, don’t think this will stop the narcissist from filing for custody. The narcissist values money, status, popularity, power, and resources above all else. He doesn’t value family. He doesn’t want to pay you child support, plain and simple. This drive not to pay you a dime will make him do extraneous things that you never even thought were possible in the court game. Your head will be spinning at the levels he will stoop to in order to win and make you look like a grade-A loser.The narcissist has the upper hand in pitting kids against the other parent in court. If the children saw the narcissist beating the other paren ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gene Blake. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/147189/bk_acx0_147189_sample.mp3.
