    Daisy Miller , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 144min
    Daisy Miller is one of Henry James' shorter and earlier novels. It was written in 1878. It portrays the confused courtship of a headstrong American girl by Winterbourne, a compatriot of hers who is much more sophisticated. His pursuit of her is hampered by her own flirtatiousness, which is frowned upon by the other expatriates they meet in Switzerland and Italy. Her lack of understanding regarding social mores of the society she so desperately wishes to enter ultimately leads to a very unexpected ending. In addition to being a very good story, the novel serves as both a psychological description of the mind of a young woman and an analysis of the traditional views of a society to a clear outsider. This continues to be one of James's most popular works. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim Killavey. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/jimc/000224/bk_jimc_000224_sample.mp3.

    On the Verge: Wake Up, Show Up, and Shine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 582min
    In the final race of her track career, Cara Bradley beat her personal best by a remarkable six seconds. Until then Bradley had been a so-so athlete hampered by pre-race jitters and self-doubt. She set about understanding how she could replicate this experience in every area of life. She has distilled what she found into moving out of over-thinking and over-doing and into fully being alive. These techniques for stilling busy mind, putting body and mind in sync, and cultivating awareness and strength are simple but require practice and attention. The reward is what she calls high-voltage living, the ability to experience what Bradley did on the track not by accident, or in only a few memorable moments, but on purpose, every day. ungekürzt.
