The Chameleon: Life-Changing Wisdom for Anyone Who has a Personality or Knows Someone Who Does , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 366min
Imagine what it would be like to understand the actions and motivations of others - and to know how to apply such knowledge to be a more effective leader, teacher, coach, or salesperson - or even a better partner, or parent. The Chameleon, by Merrick Rosenberg, a fun, easy-to-understand listen, teaches powerful lessons about gaining deeper self-awareness, maximizing personal strengths, and empowering others around you. The Chameleon contains 22 fables based on the Eagle, Parrot, Dove, and Owl personality styles Rosenberg introduced in his first book, Taking Flight! Guided by an all-knowing chameleon, the characters help listeners gain meaningful insights into understanding themselves and others. The Introduction fable provides an overview of the four personality styles. The fables chronicle the bird's interactions over a one-year period and are followed by a "Chameleon Wisdom" section which expands on the fable's lessons and provides practical applications and scenarios of the story's moral. These deeper insights include examples of how to employ the styles to increase effectiveness at work, deepen personal relationships, parent with compassion, and generally live a more fulfilling life. ungekürzt.

Wicked's Way , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 464min
Anna Fienberg's fabulous new high-seas pirate adventure, with scoundrels and blaggards, devilish treachery and pirates who long for a bit of comfort - great reading for 8- to 12-year-olds from the world of Horrendo's Curse. Will could walk a tightrope and juggle bananas as he went. 'One day you'll be the star of a circus,' his mother told him. 'But until then, you must be a secret.' For each year pirates came to the islands to steal young boys for their crew. And if that happened to you, well, you may as well kiss your life good-bye. So what's a young lad to do when his mother disappears and pirates arrive at his door? Will takes courage from a crazy truth-telling parrot and his mother's advice: 'Keep putting one foot in front of the other and your eyes on the prize.' But will this be enough to survive the perils at sea? And will that infuriatingly polite boy called Horrendo finally tip the balance? A high-seas pirate adventure about scoundrels and blaggards, devilish treachery, and finding the most precious treasure of all. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stig Wemyss.

Travel in Time: A Life Story in Poems , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 83min
Written to make you smile, cry, and shudder by the magic of love and of life.... Life experiences are unique and inestimable. And exactly those values I aimed to capture in my poems. Life could be an adventure, a dream, an illusion, or endless love. Travel in Time is not only a collection of poems, it is for you as a listener an experience into a new world, into the world of romantic imagery. Step out in time - there where you will touch with your spirit the Transylvanian green mountains, will listen to the song of a lonely shepherd, and you will hear the howling wolves in the moon’s light. Experience the dazzling depth of emotions, breathe the fresh air of a foreign country, meet the Australian bushfire heroes, the homeless man and his parrot, the lonely Kookaburra, and perhaps you will encounter a seldom beauty, the Queen of the Night. Many images, thoughts, and emotions you will experience reflect vivid moments from my life. Perhaps, along the journey, you will encounter familiar situations or places, and maybe you will smile by reminiscing your own adventures, your own memories, your own love story. ungekürzt.

The Supernatural Pet Sitter: The Magic Thief , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 243min
Every animal can talk to you. You just have to know how to listen. Pepper Neely is better at this than most, especially because she is in charge of pet sitting all the Familiars in her neighborhood. A Familiar is a pet magically linked to a witch or warlock. As a gnome, Pepper is no stranger to spells and sorcery.
