The Still Single Papers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 445min

Still Single should be a marital status all of its own. Single girls today are smarter, stronger and funnier, and journalist Alison Taylor is the witty voice for this new generation who are looking for 'the one' but not willing to undergo a personality lobotomy in the process. Covering twelve months in the life of one ever-hopeful (but never desperate) romantic, The Still Single Papers charts what happens before a date, during a date and when there are no dates. Hanging out at music festivals, bars and various capital cities, we join the self-styled 'lovefool' and friends on her quest for fun, romance and someone to care about. On her travels, Alison asks the tough questions, like: what does that text really mean? Did you shave that yourself? Are you f***ing kidding me? The Still Single Papers will ring true with a whole generation of cool, educated and ambitious women who can't quite believe that there are so few fit, single straight guys out there. But that doesn't stop them from looking and hoping, and hoping and looking…Alison Taylor writes about relationships, fashion, the arts and lifestyle for Elle, Harper's Bazaar, The Guardian, Stella and Stylist. She also lectures at the London College of Fashion. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lucy Price-Lewis. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/015681/bk_adbl_015681_sample.mp3.

The Missing Kennedy: Rosemary Kennedy and the Secret Bonds of Four Women , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 223min

Throughout her childhood, Elizabeth Koehler-Pentacoff frequently visited Rosemary Kennedy, President John F. Kennedy's sister. Why? Koehler-Pentacoff's aunt, Sister Paulus Koehler, a Franciscan nun, was Rosemary's devoted caregiver at St. Coletta in Jefferson, Wisconsin, for 15 years and her driver and travel companion for over 30. The resulting audiobook, which will be will be the first about this mysterious Kennedy, chronicles Rosie's life along with that of the author's aunt, and delves into the similarities between the two families. It includes Kennedy quotes from the author's interviews and anecdotes about Rosemary and her famous family. The book delves into Rosemary's misdiagnosed condition, why her father sought an experimental brain surgery for her without his wife's knowledge, how he kept this fact hidden from the rest of his family for 20 years, and what Rosemary was actually like after her lobotomy. And it will show how Rosemary was the catalyst behind the Special Olympics and related legislation from 1960 to the present. The Kennedys considered the author's aunt to be a member of their family. Through the author's relationship with Rosemary, Sister Paulus, and her other relatives, the author discovered how family, faith, and silence intertwine to strengthen or destroy our relationships, no matter our status or circumstance in life, whether one comes from in a rich, extraordinary family or a poor, ordinary one. ungekürzt.

21st Century Breakdown

Green Day sind zurück! Das 21. Jahrhundert sorgt für Zusammenbrüche und Highlights! Am 15. Mai erscheint das neue Green Day-Album 21st Century Breakdown, das wie bereits der Mega-Super-Hyper-Seller American Idiot wieder einmal alles Wichtige auf den Punkt bringt. Wir erinnern uns: American Idiot erschien 2004, gewann zwei Grammys, stieg so gut wie überall hoch in die Charts ein und verkaufte sich weltweit mehr als 12 Millionen Mal. Auch 21st Century Breakdown ist ein klar durchstrukturiertes Punk-Album, das aus drei Teilen besteht: Heroes And Cons, Charlatan And Saints und Horseshoes And Handgrenades. Die Story begleitet das junge Pärchen Christian und Gloria durch die Versprechungen und das Chaos der ersten Jahre dieses Jahrhunderts. Songtitel wie Know Your Enemy, 21 Guns, East Jesus Nowhere, Before The Lobotomy und Restless Heart Syndrome lassen ahnen, worauf das Ganze hinausläuft. Der US-Rolling Stone bezeichnete 21st Century Breakdown als „noch ambitionierter als American Idiot“ und „a record of die-hard punk ideals…tightly scripted, continually ascending classic-rock excitement.” Schon 2006 begannen Billie Joe Armstrong (Gitarre, Gesang), Mike Dirnt (Bass) und Tre Cool (Schlagzeug) mit der Arbeit an 21st Century Breakdown! Die erste Single aus 21st Century Breakdown heißt "Know Your Enemy".

American Psychosis: How the Federal Government Destroyed the Mental Illness Treatment System , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 588min

In 1963, President John F. Kennedy delivered an historic speech on mental illness and retardation. He described sweeping new programs to replace "the shabby treatment of the many millions of the mentally disabled in custodial institutions" with treatment in community mental health centers. This movement, later referred to as "deinstitutionalization," continues to impact mental health care. Though he never publicly acknowledged it, the program was a tribute to Kennedy's sister Rosemary, who was born mildly retarded and developed a schizophrenia-like illness. Terrified she'd become pregnant, Joseph Kennedy arranged for his daughter to receive a lobotomy, which was a disaster and left her severely retarded. Fifty years after Kennedy's speech, E. Fuller Torrey's audiobook provides an inside perspective on the birth of the federal mental health program. On staff at the National Institute of Mental Health when the program was being developed and implemented, Torrey draws on his own first-hand account of the creation and launch of the program, extensive research, one-on-one interviews with people involved, and recently unearthed audiotapes of interviews with major figures involved in the legislation. As such, this book provides historical material previously unavailable to the public. Many now wonder why public mental illness services are so ineffective. At least one-third of the homeless are seriously mentally ill, jails and prisons are grossly overcrowded, largely because the seriously mentally ill constitute 20 percent of prisoners, and public facilities are overrun by untreated individuals. As Torrey argues, it is imperative to understand how we got here in order to move forward towards providing better care for the most vulnerable. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Patient H.M.: A Story of Memory, Madness, and Family Secrets , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 874min

“Oliver Sacks meets Stephen King”* in this propulsive, haunting journey into the life of the most studied human research subject of all time, the amnesic known as Patient H.M. For listeners of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks comes a story that has much to teach us about our relentless pursuit of knowledge.Winner of the PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing AwardLos Angeles Times Book Prize WinnerNamed one of the best books of the year by The Washington Post , New York Post, NPR, The Economist, New York, Wired, Kirkus Reviews, BookPageIn 1953, a 27-year-old factory worker named Henry Molaison - who suffered from severe epilepsy - received a radical new version of the then-common lobotomy, targeting the most mysterious structures in the brain. The operation failed to eliminate Henry’s seizures, but it did have an unintended effect: Henry was left profoundly amnesic, unable to create long-term memories. Over the next 60 years, Patient H.M., as Henry was known, became the most studied individual in the history of neuroscience, a human guinea pig who would teach us much of what we know about memory today. Patient H.M. is, at times, a deeply personal journey. Dittrich’s grandfather was the brilliant, morally complex surgeon who operated on Molaison - and thousands of other patients. The author’s investigation into the dark roots of modern memory science ultimately forces him to confront unsettling secrets in his own family history and to reveal the tragedy that fueled his grandfather’s relentless experimentation - experimentation that would revolutionize our understanding of ourselves. Dittrich uses the case of Patient H.M. as a starting point for a kaleidoscopic journey, one that moves from the first recorded brain surgeries in ancient Egypt to the cutting-edge laboratories of MIT. He takes listeners inside the old asylums and operating theaters where psychosurgeo ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: George Newbern.

He Wanted the Moon: The Madness and Medical Genius of Dr. Perry Baird, and His Daughter's Quest to Know Him , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 396min

A mid-century doctor's raw, unvarnished account of his own descent into madness, and his daughter's attempt to piece his life back together and make sense of her own. Texas-born and Harvard-educated, Dr. Perry Baird was a rising medical star in the late 1920s and 1930s. Early in his career, ahead of his time, he grew fascinated with identifying the biochemical root of manic depression, just as he began to suffer from it himself. By the time the results of his groundbreaking experiments were published, Dr. Baird had been institutionalized multiple times, his medical license revoked, and his wife and daughters estranged. He later received a lobotomy and died from a consequent seizure, his research incomplete, his achievements unrecognized. Mimi Baird grew up never fully knowing this story, as her family went silent about the father who had been absent for most of her childhood. Decades later, a string of extraordinary coincidences led to the recovery of a manuscript which Dr. Baird had worked on throughout his brutal institutionalization, confinement, and escape. This remarkable document, reflecting periods of both manic exhilaration and clear-headed health, presents a startling portrait of a man who was a uniquely astute observer of his own condition, struggling with a disease for which there was no cure, racing against time to unlock the key to treatment before his illness became impossible to manage. Fifty years after being told her father would forever be "ill" and "away", Mimi Baird set off on a quest to piece together the memoir and the man. In time her fingers became stained with the lead of the pencil he had used to write his manuscript, as she devoted herself to understanding who he was, why he disappeared, and what legacy she had inherited. ungekürzt.

Anxiety Disorder: Managing and Overcoming Anxiety Attacks , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 63min

The uneasiness and creeping fear that accompanies anxiety can create a feeling of being trapped in a situation where you cannot unhook yourself. This uneasiness further progresses and combines with panic disorder along the way to finally cripple you emotionally, mentally, and physically. Recent surveys have indicated that between 14 and 18 percent of Europeans and Americans are affected by panic disorders and anxiety. This means that anxiety is a global problem which needs a protracted approach if the way against it is to be won. The question of our age and time is - why are there so many anxiety and panic disorder related cases today and how can we go about it to conquer terror, fear, panic, and worry? The answer to this question and many more is the subject matter of this audiobook. It is possible to scale this seemingly insurmountable barrier to our personal happiness and wellness. Undergoing lobotomy or drowning yourself in a bottle of pills may not help much and in extreme cases it may even worsen your situation. This book discusses the causes and effects of panic and anxiety and the ways in which to manage and overcome mental and physical effects of anxiety. You will also learn how you can stop your mind from generating nightmares thereby giving you relative calm and mental peace. For you to be able to fully understand the dimensions of anxiety, it is very important to first examine it through the context of other emotional conditions that it is closely associated with. Anxiety is a term derived from the Latin word which means distressed or worried. According to the World English Dictionary, anxiety refers to a state of uneasiness or tension that is caused by apprehension of possible future misfortunes, danger, worry, etc. As opposed to fear which occurs in a situation that is at hand, anxiety is more focused on the potential and possibilities of danger before it even happens. ungekürzt.

Hidden Valley Road (eBook, ePUB)

OPRAH'S BOOK CLUB PICK #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The heartrending story of a midcentury American family with twelve children, six of them diagnosed with schizophrenia, that became science's great hope in the quest to understand the disease. Don and Mimi Galvin seemed to be living the American dream. After World War II, Don's work with the Air Force brought them to Colorado, where their twelve children perfectly spanned the baby boom: the oldest born in 1945, the youngest in 1965. In those years, there was an established script for a family like the Galvins--aspiration, hard work, upward mobility, domestic harmony--and they worked hard to play their parts. But behind the scenes was a different story: psychological breakdown, sudden shocking violence, hidden abuse. By the mid-1970s, six of the ten Galvin boys, one after another, were diagnosed as schizophrenic. How could all this happen to one family? What took place inside the house on Hidden Valley Road was so extraordinary that the Galvins became one of the first families to be studied by the National Institute of Mental Health. Their story offers a shadow history of the science of schizophrenia, from the era of institutionalization, lobotomy, and the schizophrenogenic mother to the search for genetic markers for the disease, always amid profound disagreements about the nature of the illness itself. And unbeknownst to the Galvins, samples of their DNA informed decades of genetic research that continues today, offering paths to treatment, prediction, and even eradication of the disease for future generations. With clarity and compassion, bestselling and award-winning author Robert Kolker uncovers one family's unforgettable legacy of suffering, love, and hope.
