Still Broke, Hörbuch, Digital, 51min, (USK 18)
Not for the faint of heart is an understatement. Still Broke, the latest album from comedian Adam Hunter, doesn’t ask for permission nor does it beg for forgiveness. Adam isn’t afraid to voice brutally honest resentment towards his newfound marriage, roast his audiences’ appearance, or embrace taboos. He is a talented performer and writer, an absurd, ballsy, one-of-a-kind smart aleck. Most importantly, the artist and album walks a fine line between provoking outrage and being off-putting. Still Broke is knowingly glib. Adam uses stereotypes and sensitive topics as a launchpad for brash imagination, not for rancor or malice. He invites the audience to respond to his problematic playfulness; there’s refuge in that cathartic recklessness. If you’re not offended by Adam’s brand of roguish whimsy, congratulations, you’re probably not offended by much. If you are offended...give it a second. Still Broke has every kind of joke, from cheeky wordplay to raunchy overshares, referencing anything from Bill Cosby to enhancement pills. There are no sacred cows, no ceremony to stand on, no time to explain the humor and no effort to assess the damage. Adam employs the law of averages, or more aptly, the LOL of averages. His satirical chutzpah is framed by endurance. Adam Hunter is focused. After a joke, he’s on to the next one (and the next one). There’s pace and perseverance as Adam Hunter goes against the grain. Cringe, groan, or scoff as you may, the funny keeps coming, towards you, for you. Still Broke provides waves and waves of deviant debauchery. Eventually it’ll get you, by shock or by wit or by unflinching realness. It’s only a matter of time. Language: English. Narrator: Adam Hunter.

It primarily draws an overarching analysis of an individual’s emotional state, how emotions work, emotional patterns, theory, and analysis of emotional intelligence, growing emotional intelligence quotient, emotional learning, and guided techniques to manage emotions.Furthermore, this book will highlight the factor - depression hates a moving target. It brings about cathartic ideas and how individuals battling depression can overcome their symptoms by increasing action in life, which anchors their mental state towards aspects of life that matter. It will also highlight the commercial use of emotion and personalization. Bringing futuristic reference of emotional intelligence in design, marketing, business, we outline emotions and their ubiquity in our lives. As emotional intelligent design and personal content are successful, it allows consumers to relate more and grow a sense of belonging toward a brand or business.

The Art of Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 440min
Credited with sparking the current memoir explosion, Mary Karr's The Liars' Club spent more than a year at the top of the New York Times list. She followed with two other smash best sellers: Cherry and Lit, which were critical hits as well. For 30 years, Karr has also taught the form, winning teaching prizes at Syracuse. (The writing program there produced such acclaimed authors as Cheryl Strayed, Keith Gessen, and Koren Zailckas.) In The Art of Memoir, she synthesizes her expertise as professor and therapy patient, writer and spiritual seeker, recovered alcoholic and "black belt sinner", providing a unique window into the mechanics and art of the form that is as irreverent, insightful, and entertaining as her own work in the genre. Anchored by excerpts from her favorite memoirs and anecdotes from fellow writers' experience, The Art of Memoir lays bare Karr's own process. (Plus all those inside stories about how she dealt with family and friends get told - and the dark spaces in her own skull probed in depth.) As she breaks down the key elements of great literary memoir, she breaks open our concepts of memory and identity, and illuminates the cathartic power of reflecting on the past; anybody with an inner life or complicated history, whether writer or reader, will relate. Joining such classics as Stephen King's On Writing and Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird, The Art of Memoir is an elegant and accessible exploration of one of today's most popular literary forms - a tour de force from an accomplished master pulling back the curtain on her craft. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mary Karr.

An Autobiographical Study and The Future of an Illusion , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 301min
Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) reveals himself in this autobiography, which is simultaneously an account of the early history of psychoanalysis, to have been an outsider from the start. This fascinating account describes the journey of a young, Jewish doctor setting out to find his way in the world of professional medicine, his relationships and collaborations, friendships made and lost and his investigations into cocaine, hypnosis and the cathartic method which contributed to the evolution of his conceptual framework and practices. He acknowledges his debts to Josef Breuer, Jean Martin Charcot and others, who provided him with the seeds of his theory of sexual repression, which in turn led him to investigate the sex lives of neurasthenics and the symptoms of anxiety neurosis. All of these were key elements in the creation of the scientific discipline of psychoanalysis. He highlights the importance of patient observation and describes in detail the processes by which he identified the aetiological factors pertaining to different kinds of disorder. His account of the discoveries that made the genesis of psychoanalysis possible and the difficulties that had to be overcome to truly internationalise it and thereby consolidate his legacy is a remarkable reflection on his life’s work. He describes his time in the United States and the results of meeting with Harvard neurologist James J. Putnam and the philosopher William James. He outlines how the transition from catharsis to psychoanalysis was far more than a mere name change or a cosmetic exercise but was informed by his studies in infantile sexuality and the biphasic onset of human sexual life, as well as the conceptualisation of the existence of the ego, id and superego. He charts his life’s path, outlining how he came to integrate insights deriving from the Oedipus complex postulate, the free association method and the transference hypothesis, into his work; and he mentions most of the major figure ungekürzt.

Everybody Is Awful: Except You! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 465min
A rant-ish memoir by the veteran stand-up comedian and former cohost of That Metal Show, with a foreword by Jim Norton. Twitter Trolls. Facebook Freaks. Instagram Exhibitionists. These are just a few of the creatures our technology-obsessed culture has spawned in its quest to simplify our lives. The madness is so universal now that everyone has dealt with it. You log in to Facebook, read a stupid post, and immediately want to tell your "friend" to go have relations with himself. Sure, social media may keep us connected, but it is a breeding ground for idiots, and these idiots have crowd-sourced a storm of useless information, corny jokes, and douchebag drama that's wasting our time and screwing with our peace of mind. Thankfully, popular comedian and television host Jim Florentine has a solution for those of us on the verge of bashing our iPhones to bits. In Everybody Is Awful, Florentine attacks awful people and awful situations with the same biting satire and cringe-worthy humor that made him famous on television shows like Crank Yankers, Meet the Creeps, and That Metal Show. Along the way, Everybody Is Awful takes listeners through the author's formative years, a time filled with rebellion and horrible behavior, to the crazy early days of his career as a stand-up comedian. Florentine also recounts how he developed an obsession with pranks that morphed into his uniquely vigilante style of comedy and made him one of the most legendary prank callers of all time.Florentine excels at channeling the core rage we all feel at the seemingly small annoyances of life, and his fans love the cathartic experience of his hilarious ranting and raving, a tradition continued in Everybody Is Awful. Acting as a de facto therapist, Florentine diagnoses awful behavior, shames awful people, and offers comedic takes on how to reclaim our lives from it all. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Sheryl Crow: Words + Music, Hörbuch, Digital, 97min
“My music has been a great resource and cathartic tool, but also something I’ve hid behind.”Revealing, intimate, and exhilaratingly raw, celebrated songwriter and acclaimed singer Sheryl Crow’s Words + Music provides the perfect canvas for the nine-time Grammy Award-winning artist to showcase her potent talent, articulate her complex inner workings, and breathe new life into a sizable stack of her most beloved tracks. Part of Audible’s rapidly expanding Words + Music series, blending storytelling, music, and performance to create exceptional listening experiences, Crow’s session is marked by gorgeously stripped-down versions of the songs that made her a household name (exclusively recorded for these sessions). The tunes punctuate rich storytelling, as she dives deep into the history of her career, reexamining the personal experiences and relationships that impacted her artistic journey.“My journey is my own”, Crow says. “I mean, it's definitely not without some detours and definitely not without some hard lessons”. True to form, Crow leads us through her winding road to success - maybe more accurately defined as a series of jolting roller-coaster rides, as she recounts all the fits and starts, the feverish highs and lows, that have come to define a career now in its fourth decade. Featuring stunningly crisp, yet lo-fi renditions of eight songs including, “If It Makes You Happy”, “All I Wanna Do”, “Leaving Las Vegas”, “Strong Enough”, “My Favorite Mistake”, and George Harrison’s soulful “Beware of Darkness”, Sheryl Crow lays herself bare. From her early days in small-town Missouri where she sought salvation from her melancholy by turning to mystical rockers (Stevie Nicks and Zeppelin, most notably); to pursuing her dreams, and in quick fashion landing the spectacular gig as one of Michael Jackson’s featured solo vocalists on tour. (A career catapult that quickly became a cautionary tale.)From the crushing weight of perfectionism Language: English. Narrator: Sheryl Crow.

Montessori Toddler Discipline: How to Educate Tomorrow’s Adult. The Method to Be a Guide Capable of Promoting the Growth of the Child, Allowing All His Innate Potential to Be Realized. , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 301min
Do you want to learn how to raise an emotional child and deal with tantrums in toddlers?The birth of a child coincides with that of two new figures, a father and a mother. No longer just a couple but parents, and you will be called to perform one of the most difficult tasks: Educating the adult of tomorrow.You will have to help your child to blossom, to offer him the fertile ground necessary for him to fully realize his potential.Education, Maria Montessori tells us, is such when it is configured as "help for life that unfolds": Not an imposition from the outside, but a beacon that illuminates the path. The adult figure described by Montessori is therefore very different from that typical of the previous educational tradition.The authoritarian and managerial adult disappears, replaced by an undoubtedly authoritative figure, but capable of being "in the background".The parent looks like a director, with the task of organizing the "set" (the environment) and observing the actor at work, offering only the feedback necessary for the best result of the "performance".You must, therefore, act as a conscious guide would do: Observe your child with careful precision by examining his peculiarities and his specific needs for growth, facilitating the processes and mediating the interactions between them and the environment, which is the "real" teacher. Of course, doing all this is neither trivial nor automatic.Thanks to this audiobook you will start a real cathartic process, of purification and liberation from a whole series of preconceptions and old thought patterns that could prevent you from seeing the real nature of the child, and that often causes our action to be more obstacle that an effective aid to growth.So if love is the essential starting point, you will have to commit yourself to support a preparation that is both theoretical, technical, and even "spiritual".Ready to get started?
