    Losing Military Supremacy: The Myopia of American Strategic Planning , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 508min
    Time after time, the American military has failed to match lofty declarations about its superiority, producing instead a mediocre record of military accomplishments. Starting from the Korean War, the United States hasn't won a single war against a technologically inferior, but mentally tough, enemy. The technological dimension of American "strategy" has completely overshadowed any concern with the social, cultural, operational, and even tactical requirements of military (and political) conflict. With a new cold war with Russia emerging, the United States enters a new period of geopolitical turbulence completely unprepared in any meaningful way - intellectually, economically, militarily, or culturally - to face a reality which was hidden for the last 70-plus years behind the curtain of never-ending Chalabi moments and a strategic delusion concerning Russia, whose history the US viewed through a Solzhenitsified caricature kept alive by a powerful neocon lobby, which even today dominates US policy makers' minds.This book explores the dramatic difference between the Russian and US approach to warfare, which manifests itself across the whole spectrum of activities from art and the economy to the respective national cultures; illustrates the fact that Russian economic, military, and cultural realities and power are no longer what American "elites" think they are by addressing Russia's new and elevated capacities in the areas of traditional warfare, as well as cyberwarfare and space; and studies several ways in-depth in which the US can simply stumble into conflict with Russia and what must be done to avoid it.Martyanov's former Soviet military background enables deep insight into the fundamental issues of warfare and military power as a function of national power-assessed correctly, not through the lens of Wall Street "economic" indices and a FIRE economy but through the numbers of enclosed technological cycles and culture, much of which has been s ungekürzt.

    NLP Mastery: Neuro-Linguistic Programming: How to Maximize Your Potential, and Learn How to Reprogram Yourself , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 315min
    Neurolinguistic programming (NLP) is an approach to communication, personal development, and psychotherapy created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in California in the 1970s. Its creators claim there is a connection between neurological processes (neuro), language (linguistic), and behavioral patterns learned through experience (programming), stating that these can be changed to achieve specific goals in life. Bandler and Grinder claim the NLP methodology can "model" the skills of exceptional people and then those skills can be acquired by anyone. Bandler and Grinder also argue that NLP can treat problems such as phobias, depression, stereotypic movement disorders, psychosomatic diseases, myopia, allergies, the common cold, and learning disorders, often in a single session.  ungekürzt.

    The Self-Destructive Habits of Good Companies...and How to Break Them , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 617min
    Why do so many good companies go bad? In The Self-Destructive Habits of Good Companies...And How to Avoid Them, the authors examine the companies that were once thought-of as great (A & P, Sears, Xerox, Kodak, GM, Corning, Atari, Wang) and analyze how they ended up self-destructing. This book identifies seven dangerous habits even well-run companies fall victim to: denial, complacency, overdependence on traditional competencies, competitive myopia, an obsession with volume, rising culture conflict and turf wars, arrogance. By listening to The Self-Destructive Habits of Good Companies you can avoid the mistakes these companies made; diagnose your own company's failings; and discover specific, detailed techniques for "curing" or, better yet, preventing every one of these self-destructive habits. ungekürzt.

    What Business Are You In? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 46min
    This Harvard Business Review (HBR) article focuses on Ted Levitt’s classic question, "What Business Are You In?" and what are you doing about it? He provides the classic example of why the Canadian railroads succeeded in the mid-20th century while the American ones faltered. The Canadians identified their business as transportation unlike the Americans who narrowly focused on being railroads. Therefore, the Canadians expanded into air and bus travel, as well as hotels and resorts for people to stay at on their trips. The Americans stayed focused on their railroads, missed these other opportunities, and saw much of their base business wither away. This audiobook includes six best-selling articles by HBS professor Ted Levitt: "Marketing Myopia", "After the Sale is Over", "Marketing Success through Differentiation of Anything", "Production Line Approach to Service", "The Globalization Approach to Markets", and "Creativity Is Not Enough". ungekürzt.

    The Last Days of California: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 361min
    A teenage girl and her unraveling family travel cross-country in preparation for the Rapture in this radiant, highly anticipated debut. With The Last Days of California, Mary Miller bursts into the literary world, taking up the mantle of Southern fiction and rendering it her own with wry vulnerability and contemporary urgency. Miller’s revelatory protagonist, Jess, is fourteen years old and waiting for the world to end. Her evangelical father has packed up the family and left their Montgomery home to drive west to California, hoping to save as many souls as possible before the Second Coming. With her long-suffering mother and rebellious (and secretly pregnant) sister, Jess hands out tracts to nonbelievers at every rest stop, waffle house, and gas station along the way. As Jess’ belief frays, her teenage myopia evolves into awareness about her fracturing family. Using deadpan humor and savage charm belying deep empathy for her characters, Miller’s debut captures the angst, sexual rivalry, and escalating self-doubt of teenage life in America while announcing Miller as a fierce new voice. ungekürzt.

    Mercury , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 563min
    Donald believes he knows all there is to know about seeing. An optometrist in suburban Boston, he is sure that he and his wife, Viv, who runs the local stables, are both devoted to their two children and to each other. Then Mercury - a gorgeous young thoroughbred with a murky past - arrives at Windy Hill, and everything changes. Mercury's owner, Hilary, is a newcomer to town who has enrolled her daughter in riding lessons. When she brings Mercury to board at Windy Hill, everyone is struck by his beauty and prowess, particularly Viv. As she rides him, Viv begins to dream of competing again, embracing the ambitions that she had harboured - and relinquished - as a young woman. Her daydreams soon morph into consuming desire, and her infatuation with the thoroughbred escalates to obsession. Donald may have 20/20 vision, but he is slow to notice how profoundly Viv has changed and how these changes threaten their quiet, secure world. By the time he does, it is too late to stop the catastrophic collision of Viv's ambitions and his own myopia. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Derek Perkins, Nicol Zanzarella.
