    The Mother of All Makeovers: A Memoir of More, Less and Making Busy Beautiful , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 638min
    Foreword by Mark Brunetz, Emmy Award winning TV host, author, and social entrepreneur.Every day, people stop in their tracks, wondering (sometimes, out loud), "Are those all her kids?" Hollie Gyarmati makes the impossible look easy with her upbeat attitude, on-trend lip color, and party of five following her lead. She will happily tell you that she has two sets of twins in her mix, without pausing whatever mission she's on in that moment.What she won't tell you is that she left her dream career as a senior designer for the once-fabulous Marshall Field's, as well as her less-is-more humble upbringing to marry and start a family with the more-is-more man of her dreams.What was planned to be one baby and a cushy suburban lifestyle turned into five babies in four years, shortly followed by Detroit's Great Recession. As it turned out, being a wife and mom wasn't her biggest purpose. Her biggest purpose was fully deconstructing and renovating who she was created to be. At her lowest, she found strength in her passion for design, which ultimately led her to resurrect the truest parts of herself to create a life more beautiful than she ever imagined possible.Praise for the book:"The Mother of All Makeovers is like an ice bucket dumped on your head. It will wake you up, bring you to your senses, and make you laugh and cry at once." (Marni Jameson, nationally syndicated home columnist and author of Downsizing the Family Home)"Hollie's writing is as fabulous as the way she lives her life...unapologetically raw, full of entertainment, and beautiful storytelling that keeps you laughing and wondering what's going to happen next." (Jennifer Bertrand, HGTV Design Star Winner, Season 3 and Military Makeover Designer, Lifetime Channel) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Hollie Gyarmati.

    The Age of Louis XIV: The Story of Civilization, Book 8 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 2188min
    The Age of Louis XIV is the biography of a period (1648 - 1715) that Spengler considered the apex of modern European civilization. "Some centuries hence," Frederick the Great correctly predicted to Voltaire, "they will translate the good authors of the age of Pericles and Augustus." Those authors are lovingly treated here: Pascal, Racine, and Boileau, Madame de Sévigné, Madame de la Fayette, and above all the philosopher-dramatist Molière, who so memorably exposed the vices and hypocrisies of the age. Central to the audiobook is the "Sun King" himself, Louis XIV. Louis XIV ruled France for over seventy years, longer than almost any European ruler in history. He is the subject of a character study that runs through seven chapters, revealing the flesh and blood beneath the purple and the crown. He is seen at his worst in his struggle with Jansenists and Huguenots, at his best in his patronage of literature and art, and at his most human in his love affairs with Henrietta Anne of Orléans, Louise de La Vallière, Madame de Montespan, and Madame de Maintenon. From France the narrative passes to the Netherlands, and after pausing to examine the domestic idylls of Vermeer, shows the Dutch opening their dikes to save their land from Louis XIV and sending William of Orange to become king of England and a leader of the European alliance against Louis' hegemony. In England, we contemplate the heyday of virtue under the Puritans and study the strange character of Cromwell. We see Milton's passionate career as part of the vain effort to prevent the Stuart Restoration. We find Charles II, the "Merry Monarch", with more manners than morals, attend boisterous Restoration plays; we skim the diaries of Evelyn and Pepys; and we follow Jonathan Swift from genius to insanity. Crossing the North Sea, we trace the tragic heroism of Charles XII of Sweden and the attempt of Peter the Great to lead Russia from barbarism to civilization. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Dragon Twins: Dark World: The Dragon Twins, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 411min
    Magic. Romance. Adventure. And twists you’ll never see coming. Twin sisters Gemma and Mira couldn’t be more different. Mira loves surfing with her friends. Gemma loves reading. Mira dates a new guy every month. Gemma rarely meets anyone she’s interested in. Mira doesn’t believe in magic. Gemma’s always had faith in its existence. According to legend, Gemma and Mira are descended from witches. But they’ve never been able to use magic. On their 17th birthday, everything changes. They’re gifted with power over the elements, and right after receiving their magic, they’re tracked down and attacked by an ancient monster. They would have died, if not for Mira’s boyfriend Ethan showing up to save the day. It turns out that Ethan has magic, too. He’s a dragon shifter from a dark realm, and he’s sworn to protect the twins from whoever’s hunting them down. With monsters relentlessly chasing them, the three of them go on the run, pausing only to sleep - and to allow Ethan to teach them how to master their magic. Since they’re stuck together, Gemma has to try harder than ever to keep her deepest secret from her twin - she’s been in love with Mira’s boyfriend for months. Sometimes, she swears Ethan feels the same. But Gemma’s feelings for Ethan should be the last thing on her mind, because whoever’s hunting them has dark magic so impossibly strong that even the most powerful supernaturals are running scared. With nowhere left to hide and time running out, the twins race to discover the truth behind their heritage so they can fight back - even if that means committing the ultimate act of betrayal: betraying each other. New from USA Today best-selling author Michelle Madow, The Dragon Twins is a spell-binding adventure perfect for fans of Harry Potter and Shadowhunters. Start listening today - but be warned, you may be up late resisting the pause button. ungekürzt.

    Work PAUSE Thrive: How to Pause for Parenthood Without Killing Your Career , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 711min
    We worry putting our family first means we'll be forced to abandon our careers. We're afraid if we pause our careers, we'll be forever off track. This thinking is outdated - forget what you've heard about how pauses are career limiting, about how those who pause lack ambition, or that if you do pause you won't be able to reenter the paid workforce. That's a flawed reality, one that doesn't reflect the truth of the careers of some of the most successful women in this country. Author Lisen Stromberg knows this success firsthand. After the birth of her second child, she did something she never imagined she would do: She opted out to focus on her family. But her career didn't end there. Lisen paused, then pivoted to become first a social entrepreneur and then an award-winning journalist writing about women, work, and life in Silicon Valley. Along the way she learned she wasn't alone. Lisen met many highly successful women who told her they never "opted out" but who had, in fact, temporarily downshifted or paused their careers. Their hidden journeys revealed alternative nonlinear paths to the top that enabled them to achieve their personal and professional goals. In Work PAUSE Thrive, Lisen shares their stories. Deeply rooted in social science research, cutting-edge data collected from nearly 1,500 women, and 186 first-person interviews, this book reveals how trailblazing women have disrupted the traditional career paradigm. What worked for them can work for you. In this book you'll learn: Who pauses, how they do it, and why How pausing can enrich both your career and your life How to innovate your own nonlinear career path What we can - and need - to do as a society to make it possible for more people to achieve their personal and professional goals Work PAUSE Thrive also reveals new and exciting trends in the workplace and offers targeted solutions ungekürzt.

    Thank You for Being Late: An Optimist's Guide to Thriving in the Age of Accelerations , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1187min
    Penguin presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of Thank You for Being Late by Thomas L. Friedman, narrated by Oliver Wyman. From the Pulitzer Prize winner and number one international best-selling author of The World Is Flat, an essential and entertaining field guide to thriving in the 21st century. We all sense it - something big is going on. You feel it in your workplace. You feel it when you talk to your children. You can't miss it when you read the newspapers or watch the news. Our lives are speeding up - and it is dizzying. In Thank You for Being Late, a work unlike any he has attempted before, Thomas L. Friedman exposes the tectonic movements that are reshaping the world today and explains how to get the most out of them. Friedman's thesis is that to understand the 21st century, you need to understand that the planet's three largest forces - Moore's law (technology), the market (globalization) and Mother Nature (climate change and biodiversity loss) - are all accelerating at once, transforming the workplace, politics, geopolitics, ethics and community. An extraordinary release of energy is reshaping everything from how we hail taxis to the fate of nations to our most intimate relationships. It is creating vast new opportunities for individuals and small groups to save the world - or perhaps to destroy it. Thank You for Being Late is a work of contemporary history that serves as a field manual for how to think about this era of accelerations. It's also an argument for being late - for pausing to appreciate this amazing historical epoch we're passing through and reflecting on its possibilities and dangers. He shows us how we can anchor ourselves as individuals in the eye of this storm and how communities can create a topsoil of trust to do the same for their increasingly diverse and digital populations. Written with his trademark vitality, wit and optimism, and with un ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mr Oliver Wyman.

    The Great Revolt , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 666min
    Standout syndicated columnist and CNN contributor Salena Zito, with veteran Republican strategist Brad Todd, reports across five swing states and over 27,000 miles to answer the pressing question: Was Donald Trump's election a fluke or did it represent a fundamental shift in the electorate that will have repercussions - for Republicans and Democrats - for years to come.  The history of the American electorate is not a litany of flukes; instead it is a pattern of tectonic plate-grinding, punctuated by a landscape-altering earthquake every generation or so. Donald Trump's electoral coalition is smashing both American political parties and its previously impenetrable political news media. The political experts called the 2016 election wrong, and in the wake of the 2016 election surprise, the experts have continued to blow it - looking to predict the coming demise of the president without pausing to consider the durability of the trends and winds that swept him into office.   The Great Revolt delves deep into the minds and hearts of the voters that make up this coalition. What emerges is a group of citizens who cannot be described by terms like "angry", "male", "rural", or the often-used "racist". They span job descriptions, income brackets, education levels, and party allegiances. What unites them is their desire to be part of a movement larger than themselves that puts pragmatism before ideology, localism before globalism, and demands the respect it deserves from Washington.  Zito and Todd have traveled on over 27,000 miles of country roads to interview more than 300 Trump voters in 10 swing counties. What they have discovered is that these voters were hiding in plain sight - ignored by both parties, the media, and the political experts all at once, ready to unite into the movement that spawned the greatest upset in recent electoral history. Deeply rooted in the culture of these Midwestern swing states, Zito and Brad Todd ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bob Hess.

    World Without Mind: The Existential Threat of Big Tech , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 481min
    A New York Times Book Review Notable Book of 2017Franklin Foer reveals the existential threat posed by big tech, and in his brilliant polemic gives us the toolkit to fight their pervasive influence.Over the past few decades, there has been a revolution in terms of who controls knowledge and information. This rapid change has imperiled the way we think. Without pausing to consider the cost, the world has rushed to embrace the products and services of four titanic corporations. We shop with Amazon; socialize on Facebook; turn to Apple for entertainment; and rely on Google for information. These firms sell their efficiency and purport to make the world a better place, but what they have done instead is to enable an intoxicating level of daily convenience. As these companies have expanded, marketing themselves as champions of individuality and pluralism, their algorithms have pressed us into conformity and laid waste to privacy. They have produced an unstable and narrow culture of misinformation, and put us on a path to a world without private contemplation, autonomous thought, or solitary introspection - a world without mind. In order to restore our inner lives, we must avoid being coopted by these gigantic companies, and understand the ideas that underpin their success.Elegantly tracing the intellectual history of computer science - from Descartes and the enlightenment to Alan Turing to Stewart Brand and the hippie origins of today's Silicon Valley - Foer exposes the dark underpinnings of our most idealistic dreams for technology. The corporate ambitions of Google, Facebook, Apple, and Amazon, he argues, are trampling longstanding liberal values, especially intellectual property and privacy. This is a nascent stage in the total automation and homogenization of social, political, and intellectual life. By reclaiming our private authority over how we intellectually engage with the world, we have the power to ste ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Marc Cashman.

    The Curiosities: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 586min
    The follow-up to Susan Gloss’ successful debut, Vintage, is a charming Midwestern story of artists, inspiration, and how to reinvent your life with purpose and flair.Nell Parker has a PhD in art history, a loving husband named Josh, and a Craftsman bungalow in Madison, WI. But her last pregnancy ended later in the second trimester, and rather than pausing to grieve, she pushes harder for testing and fertility treatments. Urging Nell to apply for jobs, Josh believes his wife needs something else to focus on other than a baby that may never be.Finding a job turns out to be difficult for an art historian...until Nell sees the ad seeking a director for a new nonprofit called the Mansion Hill Artists' Colony. The colony is the brainchild of the late, unconventional society dame Betsy Barrett, who left behind her vast fortune and a killer collection of modern art to establish an artist-in-residency program to be run out of her lakeside mansion. The executor of Betsy's estate simply hands Nell a set of house keys and wishes her luck, leaving her to manage the mansion and the eccentric personalities of the artists who live there on her own.Soon, one of the artists, a young metal sculptor named Odin, is keeping the other residents awake with his late-night welding projects. Nell is pretty sure Annie, a dreadlocked granny known for her avant garde performance pieces, is dealing drugs out of the basement "studio". Meanwhile, Paige, an art student from the university, takes up residence in the third-floor turret, experimenting with new printing and design techniques, as well as leading a string of bad boyfriends upstairs when she stumbles home late at night.Despite all the drama, Nell finds something akin to a family among the members of the creative community she’s brought together. And when her attraction to Odin begins to heat up, Nell is forced to decide what will bring her greater joy - the creative, inspired wo ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Karen White.

    Curse Breaker : Dark Legends , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 129min
    A fated mates, insta-love, compelling dark fantasy that fans of Sarah J. Maas Assassin's Blade novellas will love. Sit back and enjoy this compelling dark fantasy novella by International best-selling author, Jaclyn Roche. A reincarnated goddess... An unrisen long-dead god... Only she can bring him back to life. Excerpt: “You’re mine for now and eternity,” he rumbled against her. She ignored the voice telling her this wasn’t real. The niggle of doubt reminding her she was sick still and released not because she no longer a foster child that had happened at 18, but because she had served her time in the hospital rather than go to jail for the accident. “Tell me you’re mine,” he demanded ceasing his exploration of her. His lust-glazed eyes captured hers in their gaze. She could see the outline of the minotaur against his body. The beast simmered at the surface, a layering over Viktor’s form. “I’m yours. All yours.” Kali’s words, a panted whisper against his ear. That couldn’t be me. Her voice husky. Viktor’s mouth reclaimed hers, beginning his feast with the flesh of her breast. His tongue darted out, licking her hardened nipple and teasing her other bud with the pad of his thumb. He tore off her clothing, pausing only to consume her with his olive eyes. There was no one else in the world who looked at her the way he did, as if she were the only woman he needed or wanted. Kali moaned, leaning into him. Her core became molten as they tasted each other. Her hips moved against his groin of their own accord. Tension wound with every draw of his mouth and flick of his thumb. Her fingertips traveled down the sinewy planes of his back, tracing the Egyptian tattoos she’d seen covering his torso. Kali clutched Viktor to her as they tumbled to the inky ground of the between. Her hands entangled in the wild mop of waves atop his head. His body felt airy rather than solid as he removed t ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Regan Brown.
