    The Forrests , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 583min
    Evelyn and Dorothy - the twins - are seven when the Forrests move from New York City, the hub of the world, to Westmere, New Zealand. The Forrest Trust Fund now cut out of their lives, the family live under a cloudless sky, in the dust and the heat, outdoors and running wild. Their father - who they would only call Frank - works for a cab company over the weekends but is really an actor. Michael, the eldest, has a friend called Daniel whose father lives in a half-way house. He starts to live with them, punches Dorothy on the shoulder to stop her crying when she starts school, and becomes family. Lee, their mother, takes them to a commune when she needs to get away from Frank. The memory of that place - the freedom, the dirty richness of the landscape, the stolen kisses - their chaotic childhood, undulates beneath the surface of all their lives, and brings them together in flickering moments when they grow far apart.The passing of time happens quickly. Evelyn and Dorothy grow older, discover sex, love, have babies, and watch as they, too, grow old. Their youngest sister moves away and their parents decrease in importance in their lives. Daniel, like a shadow, is always in the back of their minds. Death changes everything, but somehow life remains the same. In a narrative that shifts and moves, growing as wild as the characters, The Forrests is an extraordinary literary achievement. A novel that sings with color and memory, it speaks of family and time, dysfunction, aging, and loneliness, about lethargy, heat, youth, and how there is always something inaccessible and secretive, lying just out of reach. ungekürzt.

    The War for Kindness: Building Empathy in a Fractured World
    "In this masterpiece, Jamil Zaki weaves together the very latest science with stories that will stay in your heart forever."-Angela Duckworth, author of Grit Empathy is in short supply. We struggle to understand people who aren't like us, but find it easy to hate them. Studies show that we are less caring than we were even thirty years ago. In 2006, Barack Obama said that the United States was suffering from an "empathy deficit." Since then, things seem to have only gotten worse. It doesn't have to be this way. In this groundbreaking book, Jamil Zaki shares cutting-edge research, including experiments from his own lab, showing that empathy is not a fixed trait-something we're born with or not-but rather a skill that can be strengthened through effort. He also tells the stories of people who embody this new perspective, fighting for kindness in the most difficult of circumstances. We meet a former neo-Nazi who is now helping to extract people from hate groups, ex-prisoners discussing novels with the judge who sentenced them, Washington police officers changing their culture to decrease violence among their ranks, and NICU nurses fine-tuning their empathy so that they don't succumb to burnout. Written with clarity and passion, The War for Kindness is an inspiring call to action. The future may depend on whether we accept the challenge. Praise for The War for Kindness "A wide-ranging practical guide to making the world better."-NPR "Relating anecdotes and test cases from his fellow researchers, news events and the imaginary world of literature and entertainment, Zaki makes a vital case for 'fighting for kindness.' . . . If he's right-and after reading The War for Kindness, you'll probably think so-Zaki's work is right on time." -San Francisco Chronicle "In this landmark book, Jamil Zaki gives us a revolutionary perspective on empathy: Empathy can be developed, and, when it is, people, relationships, organizations, and cultures are changed."-Carol Dweck, author of Mindset

    How to Have a Happy Family, Hörbuch, Digital, 242min
    Today's family is very different from the family of 25 years ago. Two-career families are the norm. Single-parent families and those blended from different marriages are as common as the traditional family. Gender roles are changing. We are all crunched for time as we work longer hours and commute further. But the changing family doesn't have to mean the short-changed family. In How to Have a Happy Family, two authorities on relationships and family issues (who are happily married to each other) pool their years of wisdom and counselling experience to share with you their joyful mission of enriching the quality of your family life. According to the authors, Mort and Marjorie Shaevitz, every family can use more of two elements: Time and Communication... if only we had more of these, then our family relationships would become less stressful and more enjoyable. This program is designed to help you maximize family time and improve communications. You'll learn how to truly make your family a priority by taking control of your time, eliminating and limiting outside intrusions, and carving out special time for the people you love. And you'll learn how to use communication skills to build bridges instead of walls. But there is much more to happy family life. Mort and Marjorie also discuss: Overcoming special challenges in the two-career family Nurturing high self-esteem and persistence in children Understanding why men and women feel differently about intimacy and sex Practicing the Outcome Model for Successful Parenting Sharing household tasks as a team Setting reasonable limits for children and establishing disciplinary consequences As you increase the number of positive interactions you have with your family and decrease the negative ones, you'll soon find that your family is enjoying one another's company more, and having more fun together.

    Acoustic Guitar: A Quick and Easy Introduction to Acoustic Guitar , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 189min
    At some point in our lives, all of us have wanted to learn an instrument. After all, what’s not to like about it? You learn a new skill, get more popularity (at least, according to every movie ever) as well as an ability to perform music pleasantly to our own ears. Furthermore, learning to play an instrument has been linked with an increase in cognitive function, extroversion, and a decrease in stress. With all of these bonuses, who wouldn’t want to play something? Out of all instruments, possibly the most romanticized is the guitar. After all, there’s a myriad of movies where the girl falls for the guy that plays the guitar. Because of this, many guys want to learn it. Well, there are other reasons to learn guitar, such as the social perception of guitarists, the fact it’s the most used instrument in rock/metal, the extremely fast beats of flamenco, and, above all, the fact it just sounds really, really good.Have you ever tried learning guitar and found online tutorials to be quite unhelpful? Many of them are made simply to rake in cash, and oftentimes, the person teaching you is an amateur at the guitar themselves. This leads to you either learning the wrong way to play or never improving because you’re learning from someone unqualified to teach. Often, they start off with playing immediately. In this book, I’ll guide you through the theory before delving into playing. I’ll teach you how to play off a music sheet, and by the time you’re done, you’ll be able to pick up a piece of music and know how it is supposed to be played. Naturally, this is altogether very different from how it is to play it. You won’t become a master or anything, but you’ll understand how the instrument is played, and be able to play some catchy tunes yourself.If that sounds captivating to you, let’s dive right in! ungekürzt.
