    Brain Matters in Business: A Collection of Articles About Using Neuroscience to Work Smarter , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 40min
    Neuroscience research is producing an almost constant stream of new discoveries that are unlocking the secrets of how our brains work. For those of us directly involved in this research of the human brain, it is a very exciting time. However, very few people outside of the neuroscience community understand these discoveries well enough to take advantage of them or apply them to their own lives in a way that gets meaningful results. I see a need for simple, clear, accessible explanations of how to apply brain-based practices to greatly improve how we work and conduct business, so that everyone can benefit from use these discoveries. A few years ago, I was invited to write a series of articles for publication, with exactly that goal. This audiobook is a collection of those articles. In addition to being supported by recent research of the human brain in the Western world, the articles in this book are also influenced by my knowledge of mindfulness and other ancient practices from the Eastern world. Interestingly, much of the recent neuroscience research confirms that many of these ancient Eastern practices do result in greatly improved brain functioning. The East-West synthesis evident in these articles reflects my many years of work and study on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, and my lifelong interest in how to improve the human brain. ungekürzt.

    The Black Death: Explore the Great Mortality from Beginning to End , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 180min
    Mankind’s annals don’t get darker.Delve into the deadliest pandemic ever known.No one knew where it came from, and at a certain point, it didn’t matter because it seemed to be everywhere...stalking the land with silent menace. It clung to people and animals like a second skin, traveling to distant places on the backs of traders and travelers who didn’t even know they were dead. It could kill swiftly and brutally, or slowly and painfully, and no one knew if they had it until it was far too late - when the weeping black pustules that gave the disease its name appeared across their feverish bodies. The Black Death swept through Africa, Asia, and Europe, taking millions of lives en route.People didn’t passively accept this epidemic. They scrambled for answers and solutions, grappling with the impossible. A very real fear began to take form: That this was the beginning of the end of the world. Social order broke down, governments stopped functioning, churches and religious scholars were undermined, fanatics whipped themselves into a frenzy, and ignorant, terrified mobs scapegoated and slaughtered their own neighbors in their homes.And yet, the world did not then end. Humanity endured, survived, and came again to thrive.This horrifying chapter of our history will fascinate, but discord and disease await. Prepare for the Black Death! ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Bourbon for Breakfast: Living Outside the Statist Quo , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 753min
    The state makes a mess of everything it touches, argues Jeffrey Tucker in Bourbon for Breakfast. Perhaps the biggest mess it makes is in our minds. Its pervasive interventions in every sector affect the functioning of society in so many ways, we are likely to intellectually adapt rather than fight. Tucker proposes another path: See how the state has distorted daily life, rethink how things would work without the state, and fight against the intervention in every way that is permitted. Whether that means hacking your showerhead, rejecting prohibitionism, searching for large-tank toilets, declining to use government courts, homeschooling, embracing alternative micro-cultures, watching pro-freedom movies, baking at home, maintaining manners and standards of dress, publishing without copyright, and just living outside what he calls the "statist quo", we should not lose touch with what freedom means, even in these times. The essays in Bourbon for Breakfast cover commercial life, digital media, culture, food, literature, religion, music, and a host of other issues - all from the perspective of a Misesian-Rothbardian struggling to get by in a world in which the walls of the state have been closing in. Tucker writes about the glories of commerce, the horrors of jail, and the joy of private life - and he defends a kind of aristocratic radicalism in times of increasingly restricted choices. ungekürzt.

    Meet Maslow: How Understanding the Priorities of Those Around Us Can Lead to Harmony and Improvement , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 105min
    Everyone has needs! But how many of us actually know what those needs are? Sure, we can point out the basic ones - eating, breathing, and sleeping - but what other types of needs are there? Well, with the help of our good friend Abraham Maslow, we're going to be talking all about needs! Meet Maslow is all about learning what he referred to as the Hierarchy of Needs, a pyramid designed to teach us what every human really needs in order to excel! The entire purpose of man isn't just to live, but rather it is to live well, but we can't live well without having our needs met! It's problematic, however, when we barely have a grasp of what those needs actually entail! With Meet Maslow, you are going to be getting a no-nonsense guidebook to each step of the pyramid, learning about each need so that you can get closer to becoming a self-actualized member of society! It's time to put away the pop psychology books and the fad self-help trends and turn to the wisdom of a man who more or less invented the way we perceive all needs. With his guidance, this book's information and a little bit of hard work, you will find that you can begin to live life as a higher functioning individual in no time! ungekürzt. Language: English.

    An Apple a Day: A Memoir of Love and Recovery from Anorexia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 474min
    I haven't tasted chocolate for over ten years and now I'm walking down the street unwrapping a Kit Kat. Remember when Kate Moss said, 'Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels'? She's wrong: chocolate does. At the age of 32, after ten years of hiding from the truth, Emma Woolf finally decided it was time to face the biggest challenge of her life. Addicted to hunger, exercise and control, she was juggling a full-blown eating disorder with a successful career, functioning on an apple a day. Having met the man of her dreams (and wanting a future and a baby together), she embarked on the hardest struggle of all: to beat anorexia. It was time to start eating again, to regain her fertility and her curves, to throw out the size-zero clothes and face her food fears. And, as if that wasn’t enough pressure, Emma took the decision to write about her progress in a weekly column for The Times. Honest, hard hitting and yet romantic, An Apple a Day is a manifesto for the modern generation to stop starving and start living. This compelling, life-affirming true story is essential reading for anyone affected by eating disorders (whether as a sufferer or carer), anyone interested in health and social issues – and for medical and health professionals. ungekürzt.

    By a Thread , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 503min, (USK 18)
    Stella's future was set, and it was a bright one. She was engaged to a man she adored, and was headed to law school in the fall. Tragically, her perfectly planned future ends just as it was beginning. With no ties to family or friends, Stella finds herself alone in a new city, spiraling out of control. Her typical day comes to a close with her passed out on the floor; sometimes clothed. Luckily, her new roommate, essentially a stranger, is dead set on getting Stella past her grief and back to functioning within society. Putting one foot in front of the other, she climbs up from the bottom of a bottle. Even with all her progress, Stella walks through life unfeeling, numb. Defiant, she sends out warning signals for the world to keep away. But, is that what she really wants? With the steadfast help of a few tight-knit friends, she gradually begins to feel again. She starts to savor the flavor of food again; lets herself notice how the handsome bartender glances at her. Still, after allowing herself a fling, she wonders if she will ever be able to let go of her shattered past, fully enjoy the present, or get over what she thought would be her perfect future and with the man who destroyed her heart. ungekürzt.
