    A Simple Path to the Good Life: Discovering the Inner Bottom Line , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 195min
    Today, in a world filled with half-truths and scant accountability, millions of people feel stripped of their dignity and power. Having bought into "the good life" and now finding themselves paying too high a price for the life they're leading, they're barren of hope and struggling with the stress of making some sense out of life's demands and complexities. Facing naked truths takes courage and clarity. While many are saddened to find that "the good life" is perhaps not so good for them after all, there is another path. A path that cuts through the clutter and leads to a better, easier, less stressful and more satisfying good life. It's found in a totally private place within us that belongs to us alone. And that makes it worth protecting and appreciating beyond any measurable worth. Within this priceless place lies the Inner Bottom Line. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Olive Gallagher.

    Detroit: Engine of America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 393min
    This is the story of how a crude French settlement along the Detroit River in 1701 became the birthplace of the automotive industry in 1900. Forging the first industrial powerhouse wasn’t easy. Scant inbound supplies from the English colonies took months, if they arrived at all. The first 100 inhabitants led by explorer Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, with the guidance of Native American tribes, built a fledgling economy of fishing, farming, and hunting - the latter propelled mightily by the fur trade. As the populace sputtered and grew, they developed the machinery and skilled trades that produced - in volume - wagons, stagecoaches, steamships, hearths, locomotives, boxcars, furniture, stoves, equipment, marine engines, pharmaceutical drugs, and, finally, the horseless carriage. Detroit’s grit and brawn ignited ingenuity and self-sufficiency that thrust the first city in the Midwest onto the world stage. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: R. J. King.

    Engines of Desire: Tales of Love & Other Horrors , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 630min
    Death and pleasure. Freud's Todestrieb, his statement that "libido has the task of making the destroying instinct innocuous, and it fulfils the task by diverting that instinct to a great extent outwards.... The instinct is then called the destructive instinct, the instinct for mastery, or the will to power." Few authors have spun stories of Thanatos and Eros as skillfully and powerfully as Livia Llewellyn. In his introduction to this volume, Laird Barron states, "Scant difference exists between exquisite pleasure and pain." An orphan girl with a mind for anthracite falls into the hands of a cult worshipping an entombed god. In the Pacific Northwest, evergreens lull prepubescent girls into their trunks to serve as wombs. A suburban housewife troubled by her present encounters the sixteen year-old girl she ached to touch in her dreams. These ten stories promise to indulge a listener's sensibilities, their fears and desires. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christy Lynn.

    Stranger at Plantation Inn , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 321min
    Lillian Newton was not the only stranger at Plantation Inn. The heavy rains that had flooded the river and forced her to seek refuge at the old stage-stop had driven others to the sanctuary as well. At first, Lillian paid scant attention to the rest of the group. But soon she sensed a tension in the atmosphere. Rumors of an escaped killer - an outlaw whose vicious deeds had terrorized the countryside - spread a chill blanket of uneasiness over the charming old house. Then things began to happen: the stalking shadow glimpsed through the trees, the cat whose throat had been cut, the mysterious crying of an infant.... Lillian was suddenly suspicious of everyone. Especially the handsome young Frenchman Jean Marsh, whose arrogant manner aroused a curious inner fury that she could not define. Lillian was certain now that the killer was among them. But which one? And how long before he would strike again? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andi Arndt. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/005307/bk_adbl_005307_sample.mp3.
