    Hi, Anxiety: Life with a Bad Case of Nerves , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 411min
    Joining the ranks of such acclaimed accounts as Manic, Brain on Fire, and Monkey Mind is a deeply personal, funny, and sometimes painful look at anxiety and its impact from writer and commentator Kat Kinsman. Feeling anxious? Can't sleep because your brain won't stop recycling thoughts? Unable to make a decision because you're too afraid you'll make the wrong one? You're not alone. In Hi, Anxiety, beloved food writer, editor, and commentator Kat Kinsman expands on the high-profile pieces she wrote for CNN.com about depression and its wicked cousin, anxiety. Taking us back to her adolescence, when she was diagnosed with depression at 14, Kat speaks eloquently, with pathos and humor, about her skin-picking, hand-flapping "nervousness" that made her the recipient of many a harsh taunt. With her mother also gripped by depression and health issues throughout her life, Kat came to live in a constant state of unease - that she would fail, that she would never find love, that she would end up just like her mother. Now, as a successful media personality, Kat still battles anxiety every day. That anxiety manifests in strange and deeply personal ways. But as she found when she started to write about her struggles, Kat is not alone in feeling like the simple act of leaving the house or getting a haircut can be crippling. And though periodic medication, counseling, a successful career, and a happy marriage have brought her relief, the illness - because that is what anxiety is - remains. Exploring how millions are affected by anxiety, Hi, Anxiety is a clarion call for everyone - but especially women - struggling with this condition. Though she is a strong advocate for seeking medical intervention, Kinsman implores those suffering to come out of the shadows, to talk about their battles openly and honestly. With humor, bravery, and writing that brings best sellers like Laurie Notaro and Jenny Lawson to mind, ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kat Kinsman.

    The Pursuit of God , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 169min
    Of Tozer's many books and other writings, The Pursuit of God is his most famous and widely read. The Pursuit of God in particular has reached all the corners of the world. This book is considered a Christian classic and is still read and listened to by many faithful Christians to this day. It was written and published while he was a pastor in Chicago.  In The Pursuit of God, Tozer writes about why people pursue a relationship with God and how one can best go about doing so. Much of Tozer's doctrine can be found in this book. Tozer writes, “We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts.” In chapter 1, Tozer explains that the reason one desires to pursue God is because God gave one that desire. God gives one the impulse, but one must “follow hard after him”. Tozer implores readers to strip to the “bare essentials” and present themselves before God without any efforts to impress him.  In the second chapter, Tozer uses the example of Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his only son in order to show obedience and unwavering faith. Tozer writes that one does not own anything if one follows God truly. Tozer writes, “Millions call themselves by his name, it is true, and pay some token homage to him, but a simple test will show how little he is really honored among them. Let the average man be put to the proof on the question of who or what is ABOVE, and his true position will be exposed. Let him be forced into making a choice between God and money, between God and men, between God and personal ambition, God and self, God and human love, and God will take second place every time. Those other things will be exalted above. However the man may protest, the proof is in the choice he makes day after day throughout his life.” ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jimmy Kieffer.

    More Spankings at Dr. Lowry's Office: Lydia's Misbehavior Complicates a Trip to the Apple Farm: The Discipline for a Lasting Marriage Series, Book 17 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 163min, (USK 18)
    During a visit to Lydia's sister's and brother-in-law's apple farm in Upstate New York, the two women get into a good deal of trouble. While the men run errands in town, the women go beyond harvesting apples with the children, instead removing rotten tree branches they'd each been told to leave alone. Besides which, they get so caught up in their project removing the rotten tree branches, they lose track of the couples' five children, who wander off and get into a spot of mild trouble themselves. When Sam and Charlie get back to the apple farm, each wife must face an irate husband, intent upon spanking her for misbehavior and defiance involving both the rotten tree limbs and the children wandering off. Sam spanks Ginny at the farmhouse. But Lydia implores Charlie to please find a more private setting. So, they prevail on their psychiatrist friend, Dr. Chris Lowry, for the use of his office two nights in a row. He agrees, and Lydia must face up to being spanked once again at Dr. Lowry's offic - as well as having Charlie impose additional discipline because the children got put at risk. Lydia balks at what Charlie suggests for additional discipline, but must ultimately own up to how badly she misbehaved and the fact it merits extra discipline.  NOTE: This book contains vivid descriptions of sexual activity, domestic discipline, the spanking(s) of an adult woman, anal sex, and anal discipline. If such scenes or themes offend or trigger you, please do not purchase this audiobook. If you choose to purchase anyway, act like a grown-up and do not engage in personal attacks. In addition, the series is also about two devoted married people growing and maturing together over the course of multiple story lines; they are flawed, loving, devoted human beings, and therefore make mistakes they try to correct. If you are looking for perfect people, look elsewhere. Finally, please note: Any resemblance to real people, living or dead, is unintended and coincidental. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Never Again War: The Sacrifice of Käthe Kollwitz, Hörbuch, Digital, 52min
    SueMedia Productions / Midsummer Sound Company present the original audio drama, Never Again War: The Sacrifice of Käthe Kollwitz by Helen Engelhardt. Begun as a stage play by Engelhardt, this audio adaptation of Never Again War focuses on key biographical moments in Kollwitz's long life to give the audience an understanding of the complex world in which she lived and the destructive nature of war. Engelhardt is now working on a feature film to further bring awareness of Kollwitz's story to a larger audience. Hosted by Marsha Mason, Oscar nominee and Golden Globe winner, Never Again War takes us into the mind and life of the great German graphic artist and sculptor, Käthe Kollwitz, renowned for her body of work dedicated to depicting the lives of the working poor. After her youngest son Peter was killed in Belgium in October 1914 during the opening weeks of World War I, she devoted the rest of her life to using her art in the service of her grief and opposition to war. Our play begins in Berlin in February 1914, at a party in the Kollwitz home celebrating the 18th birthday of her younger son Peter. A few months later, as soon as war begins, Peter implores his parents for permission to join his older brother Hans to become a soldier in the army. To support the idealism of her sons to offer themselves for sacrifice on behalf of the Fatherland, the socialist Käthe finds herself supporting her sons in a war she deeply disapproved of. When the play concludes in Moritzburg, two weeks before Germany's defeat at the end of World War II in 1945, Kollwitz has learned that every war is answered by a new war until everything is smashed because every war already carries within it the war that will answer it, as World War II answered World War I. Cast: Käthe Kollwitz: Yelena Shmulenson Hans and Karl Kollitz: Nick Sullivan Peter Kollwitz: Robert Fass Jutta Kollwitz: Katherine Kellgren /p Language: English.

    The Earned Life: Lose Regret, Choose Fulfillment
    Discover the steps to earning your path to fulfillment and living without regrets-from the world-renowned executive coach and New York Times bestselling author of Triggers and What Got You Here Won't Get You There "My life changed for the better when I started working with Marshall Goldsmith. The Earned Life is a wonderful book."-Dr. Jim Yong Kim, served as president of the World Bank "We are living an earned life when the choices, risks, and effort we make in each moment align with an overarching purpose in our lives, regardless of the eventual outcome." That's the definition of an earned life. But for many of us, that pesky final phrase is a stumbling block: "regardless of the eventual outcome." Not being attached to the outcome goes against everything we're taught about achievement and fulfillment in modern society. But now, in his most personal and powerful work to date, world-renowned leadership coach Marshall Goldsmith offers a dazzling but simple approach that accommodates both our persistent need for achievement and the inescapable "stuff happens" unfairness of life. Taking inspiration from Buddhism, Goldsmith reveals that the key to living the earned life, unbound by regret, requires committing to a habit of earning and, crucially, connecting that habit to something greater than the isolated achievements of careerism. By grounding our achievements in a higher aspiration, he shows, we can avoid the easy temptation to wallow in regret. Goldsmith implores readers to avoid the Great Western Disease of "I'll be happy when. . . ." He offers practical advice and exercises aimed at helping us shed the obstacles, especially the failures of imagination, that prevent us from creating our own fulfilling lives. With this book as their guide, readers can close the gap between what they plan to achieve and what they actually get done-and avoid the trap of existential regret, the kind that reroutes destinies and persecutes our memories. Packed with illuminating stories from Goldsmith's legendary career as a coach to some of the world's highest-achieving leaders as well as reflections on his own experiences, The Earned Life is a road map for ambitious people seeking a higher purpose.
