    Almost everyone with a pulse fears death, but not everyone fears life. With crippling social anxiety, I feared both. But after an accidental call to a funeral home during my mid-life crisis trip to grad school, I reluctantly embarked on a journey to explore professions that dealt with death in order to come to terms with my own mortality.  The result of this quirky trip is Death Becomes Us, a humorous memoir about what happens when a middle-aged, anxiety-filled, life-avoider attempts to investigate the last taboo of American culture. And lives to tell the tale. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lisaun Whittingham. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/110443/bk_acx0_110443_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    From a USA Today best-selling author! A conflict-avoiding teacher. A take-no-prisoners PTA mom. All that pulls them together is the gardening class he's reluctantly teaching. As memories linger in the past, so dreams stretch toward the future. Single mom Adriana Diaz isn't about to let the new teacher derail the PTA's hard work in securing a greenhouse and garden area for Bridgeview Elementary School, but taking matters into her own hands turns awkward when she realizes her attraction to the teacher. Pro-level conflict-avoider Myles Sheridan finds himself against an entire community with his reluctance to incorporate gardening into his classes. The only thing that could make his situation worse is falling in love with the ringleader, whose child is his most difficult student and whose husband had died a hero. How can Myles compete with the man from Adriana's memories? He's not the material champions are made of. Or is he? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Janelle Woodyard.

Besides, it all seems harmless enough...at least until the half-naked and all-hot immortal with wings and horns shows up.

But on this investigation, it looks like he won't be doing either. His assigned task is bogus, and the most alluring mortal he's ever met is determined to avoid hooking up. But the pull Leander feels toward Ryan the bartender won't let him turn his attention away for long. Soon, he finds himself interested in much more than his usual dalliances with mortals.

    Is being a people-pleaser (a.k.a., conflict avoider, pushover, approval-seeker, doormat, etc.) ruining your life? Do you sometimes feel as if you exist only to satisfy others wants and needs, but never your own? Is your physical, mental, and emotional health suffering as a result?  Everyone loves a people-pleaser. They're always willing to help, to stay late, to fill in, to go along.

Specific strategies for transforming yourself from selfless to "self-full."  How to go from feeling vanished to being clearly differentiated.  How to get what you want and need while actually earning even more respect from others.  Tired of disappearing from life?

    Cornelius Murphy is a big-haired seventeen-year-old tall school leaver, devoted avoider of regular employment and Stuff of Epics.And together with his diminutive companion and bestest friend Tuppe (the stuff of epics to a slightly lesser degree) they set out in a 1958 Cadillac Eldorado to travel the length of the British Isles in search of the missing chapters from a great and wonderful tome: The Book of Ultimate Truths. Penned by self-styled Most Amazing Man Who Ever Lived, Hugo Rune.Although few people remember Rune today, in his time he was lionised by society for his many achievements. He spoke seventeen languages, played darts with the Dalai Lama and shared his sleeping bag (on separate occasions) with Albert Einstein, Lawrence of Arabia, George Formby and Marilyn Monroe. He was worshipped as a god by an East Acton cargo cult and once scaled Everest in a smoking jacket and a pair of plus-fours to win a bet with Oscar Wilde.He travelled to Venus in the company of George Adamski, reinvented the ocarina and was yearly burned in effigy by the Chiswick Townswomens’ Guild. He was an expert swordsman, a world traveller, a poet, a painter, a guru unto gurus and a passionate hater of Bud Abbot. He won a first at Oxford, squandered three fortunes, made love to a thousand women, imbibed strange drugs and almost pipped Einstein for the Nobel Prize. He was barred from every Chinese noodle parlour in West London and died penniless in a Hastings boarding house in his ninetieth year.He penned nearly eight million words, wrote the songs that made the whole world sing and knew all the answers to all the big questions. And he was, as his acolyte Aleister Crowley once said, One Hell of a Holy Guru!His greatest work The Book of Ultimate Truths explains in terms understandable to the layman just what life is all about. Why there are always two small screws left over when you reassemble that broken toaster. Where all the yellow-hand ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Rankin.
