In addition, beyond a perfunctory or ceremonial approach to books such as Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, the author helps us to see how ethical principles in these writings apply to our lives today. ungekürzt.

The Road , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 294min
In The Road, Jack London embraces the concepts of unconfined individualism and Darwinism through his autobiographical account of his time riding the rails of Canada and the United States. The author of White Fang, The Call of the Wild, and Sea Wolf, relays the time leading up to turning point in his life - a perfunctory trial and a 30-day imprisonment in the Erie County Penitentiary for the crime of vagrancy - an experience so degrading that he turned to a career in writing. This tale of rugged individualism influenced Jack Kerouac and inspired his tale, On the Road. Simultaneously autobiographical and instructional, The Road wryly presents a way of life that embodies wanderlust and the soul's search for true freedom. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: T.

One Last Day , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 457min
Six years ago, you voted to send troops into Afghanistan. One of those soldiers was my son, who never made it back. Now, I'm here to ask you, was it worth it? The gathering was supposed to have been a perfunctory media exercise on retiring Senator Jackson Ridge's last day in office. When a grieving mother slips in and poses that simple question, though, everything from Ridge's own legacy to American interests in Afghanistan all get called into question. Racing against a ticking clock and powerful figures that would prefer to keep things happening across the globe a secret, Ridge must call on every last favor he has accumulated over the course of his time in office in search of answers. Answers that ultimately have him looking at more than just the life of a fallen soldier when trying to decide if, in fact, it was all worth it.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott R.

Holistic Health Psychology Made Simple: 50 Psychological Habits You Must Break in Order to Lose Weight, Fight Disease and Reverse Aging , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 77min
Holistic Health Psychology Made Simple explains that the body does not control the mind. It can only affirm what the mind commands of it. Humans don't follow bad diets. The mind follows certain patterns, hence leaving the human body as nothing more than collateral damage in the process. Diet and exercise are both great ways of helping to fortify a healthy being. But neither of these two mundane solutions will ever supersede the power of the human psyche. To put the mind last as a solution in overcoming a physical ailment is indeed the foremost fundamental error that human beings commit during their quest for absolute wellness. If you desire a life full of vitality, you must rid your life of perfunctory thought processes. Holistic Health Psychology Made Simple discusses most of the common detrimental thought processes with relation to weight loss, diets, holistic healing, fighting disease, and reversing the aging process. ungekürzt.

Recapitulation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 652min
In this moving sequel to Big Rock Candy Mountain, Bruce Mason returns to Salt Lake City, not for his aunt's funeral but to encounter after 45 years the place he fled in bitterness. A successful statesman and diplomat, Mason had buried his awkward and lonely childhood and sealed himself off from the thrills and torments of adolescence to become a figure who commanded international respect. But the realities of the present recede in the face of the ghosts of his past. As he makes the perfunctory arrangements for the funeral, we enter with him on an intensely personal and painful inner pilgrimage, meeting the father who darkened his childhood, the mother whose support was both redeeming and embarrassing, the friend who drew him into the respectable world of which he so craved to be a part, and the woman he nearly married. In this profoundly moving book, Stegner has drawn an intimate portrait of a man understanding how his life has been shaped by experiences seemingly remote and inconsequential. ungekürzt.

How's Your Soul?: Why Everything You Want in Life Starts with the Inside You , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 310min
Judah Smith, New York Times best-selling author of Jesus Is ______, explores what it looks like to cultivate a healthy soul in the midst of a busy life and points listeners to the soul's only true home and place of rest and fulfillment: God. "How's your soul?" Instead of a perfunctory "how are you?", Judah Smith asks people this surprising question, because he knows that the health of the soul - the deepest part of ourselves - is overlooked in the busyness of everyday life. But the truth is, all the things people most desire in life - stability, peace, hope, love - are rooted in the health of their souls, and they need an intentional daily journey to manage it well. In How's Your Soul?, Judah explores the various facets and needs of the inner person, showing listeners how to cultivate healthy souls and leading them to the discovery that ultimately their souls are fully home - in a state of internal wellness, fulfillment, and completeness - only when they look to God, trust God, and rest in God. ungekürzt.

The Motivation Toolkit: How to Align Your Employees' Interests with Your Own , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 383min
Getting your employees to do their best work has never been easy. But it is a particular challenge for knowledge workers, who must attend to many different tasks and whose to-do list is often ambiguous, requiring outside-the-box thinking. Lists of dos and don'ts are rarely effective. Instead, your best bet is to align their interests with your own - the heart of motivation - and set them free to use their own drive and creativity on their, and your, behalf. But how do you align their interests with your own? How do you avoid incentive schemes that warp priorities, encourage perfunctory and sloppy work, or cause unethical behavior? In The Motivation Toolkit, economist and management expert David Kreps offers a variety of tools, drawn from the disciplines of economics and social psychology, that you can adapt to your specific situation to achieve better motivation. This starts with understanding both the economic and social relationship your employees have with their work, their jobs, and your organization, then using that understanding to find economic or psychological motivators that will work. ungekürzt.

The Elusive Miss Ellison: Legacy of Grace Series, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 598min
Hampton Hall's new owner has the villagers of St. Hampton Heath all aflutter - all except Lavinia Ellison. The reverend's daughter cares for those who are poor and sick, and the seventh Earl of Hawkesbury definitely does not meet that criteria. His refusal to take his responsibilities seriously, or even darken the door of the church, leave her convinced he is as arrogant and reckless as his brother - his brother who stole the most important person in Lavinia's world. Nicholas Stamford is shadowed by guilt: his own, his brother's, the legacy of war. A perfunctory visit to this dreary part of Gloucestershire wasn't supposed to engage his heart, or his mind. Challenged by Miss Ellison's fascinating blend of Bluestocking opinions, hoydenish behavior, and angelic voice, he finds the impossible becoming possible - he begins to care. But Lavinia's aloof manner, society's opposition and his ancestral obligations prove most frustrating, until scandal forces them to get along. Can Lavinia and Nicholas look beyond painful pasts and present prejudice to see their future? And what will happen when Lavinia learns a family secret that alters everything she's ever known? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Anna Parker-Naples.

American Biography , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 698min
This collection of reviews, selected from Rollyson's New York Sun column, is as much about the romance of biography as it is about the American lives. Certain concerns resonate throughout the book: The American Left's failure to reckon with Communist subversion, McCarthyism, and Stalinism The problematic nature of authorized biography The history of American biography, definitive biographies, and literary biography The differences between autobiography and biography The importance of interviews in biographies of contemporary figures The differences between history and biography, and comparative biographies The virtues of short biographies and of biographies for children The tendency of biographers to fictionalize and of novelists to biographize Psychology and biography Rollyson's own experience as a biographer The way biographers treat one another's work Too many biographers, he believes, evince no interest in the biographical tradition. Concerned only with possession of their subjects, their proprietorial attitude deforms not only their biographies but also the genre itself. If a biography is reviewed badly (receiving hardly more than a summary of the subject's life with a perfunctory nod to the biographer), it is because the biographical tradition has been disregarded or discounted. This book, in other words, has been created on the behalf of biography, a genre that still awaits a full vindication. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Keith Peters.
