The Price of Greatness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 490min

An incisive account of the tumultuous relationship between Alexander Hamilton and James Madison and of the origins of our wealthy yet highly unequal nation In the history of American politics there are few stories as enigmatic as that of Alexander Hamilton and James Madison's bitterly personal falling out. Together they helped bring the Constitution into being, yet soon after the new republic was born they broke over the meaning of its founding document. Hamilton emphasized economic growth, Madison the importance of republican principles. Jay Cost is the first to argue that both men were right - and that their quarrel reveals a fundamental paradox at the heart of the American experiment. He shows that each man in his own way came to accept corruption as a necessary cost of growth. The Price of Greatness reveals the trade-off that made the United States the richest nation in human history, and that continues to fracture our politics to this day. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Notes on Spirit Rock: Visit to Monday Evening Buddhism Class with Jack Kornfield , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 28min

Spirit Rock is not a New Age Center, per se. Located in San Francisco's Bay Area (Marin County's Woodacre), Spirit Rock is home to Buddhists. They are not Zen Buddhists, as they emphasized. They are Theravada, as is one of their founding members the teacher and popular writer Jack Kornfield. Where it is located, Marin County, many find Spirit Rock a refreshing and spiritual place to visit and take for a retreat. Marin County, and in specific Southern Marin, is not a place for Christian worship. So says a study on religious practice in Marin. One anecdotal piece of evidence indicates religious interest in San Francisco's Bay Area Marin County. One librarian at the Tiburon library says most spiritual and religious books in their library are New Age. Christian reading isn't of interest.

The Analects of Confucius , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 219min

Confucius was a Chinese philosopher who lived from 551 BC – 479 BC. Although he is usually listed as the author of The Analects ( wise sayings ), it was actually a group of his followers, years after his death, who wrote down his words and descriptions of his daily life. The philosophy of Confucius emphasized morality, "the proprieties" - correctness of social relationships - as well as justice and sincerity. A major goal of his conversations was to get his disciples to think deeply for themselves by relentless study of the world. Confucius' values gained prominence in China over all other doctrines and, in time, his thoughts were developed into a system of philosophy known as "Confucianism." It is difficult for people outside China to realize just how great an influence Confucius has had on Chinese thought. To his day, even in Communist China, there are temples to Confucius in almost every city and every year spectacular memorial ceremonies are held honoring Confucius and his philosophy. ungekürzt.

Jefferson: Architect of American Liberty , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1451min

From an eminent scholar of the American South, the first full-scale biography of Thomas Jefferson since 1970. Not since Merrill Peterson's Thomas Jefferson and the New Nation has a scholar attempted to write a comprehensive biography of the most complex Founding Father. In Jefferson, John B. Boles plumbs every facet of Thomas Jefferson's life, all while situating him amid the sweeping upheaval of his times. We meet Jefferson the politician and political thinker - as well as Jefferson the architect, scientist, bibliophile, paleontologist, musician, and gourmet. We witness him drafting of the Declaration of Independence, negotiating the Louisiana Purchase, and inventing a politics that emphasized the states over the federal government - a political philosophy that shapes our national life to this day. Boles offers new insight into Jefferson's actions and thinking on race. His Jefferson is not a hypocrite, but a tragic figure - a man who could not hold simultaneously to his views on abolition, democracy, and patriarchal responsibility. Yet despite his flaws, Jefferson's ideas would outlive him and make him into nothing less than the architect of American liberty. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Johnson.

Leadership: 2 Books in 1: Stoicism + Overthinking , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 365min

The word "stoic" is derived from the term stoicism. Today, these words mean indifference to all feelings regardless of whether it is excruciating hate or awkward love. But the philosophy of stoicism is entirely different and encompasses a very different set of ideas.Although, over time, the philosophy of stoicism evolved particularly when the Greek philosopher in Athens, whose name was Zeno of Citium, came from Rome, Seneca (the younger) and Marcus Aurelius (the stoic emperor of Rome) were maybe more prominent stoic philosophers.The basic teachings of stoicism are that bad emotions arise out of bad judgment and that the essence of stoicism is to suppress these negative emotions. We always claim that virtue produces true happiness. Stoics described philosophy as a way of life that can make you wise.A wise man is someone who is ethically and mentally fine. Many philosophers (including Seneca) emphasized the conviction that virtue is good. A wise man would be free from unhappiness because unhappiness produces unhappiness, and by virtue, there is no unhappiness. This gives a strong sense of managing one's own destiny. ungekürzt.

Service Management: It's All About the People , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 213min

The traditional focus of service management led some people to believe it is a framework of rigid processes and organizational structures to which they must adapt their way of working. However, service management is primarily about people, not about documentation or rigid application of processes. This audiobook presents a framework for service management called the integral service management framework (ISMF), which adds multiple perspectives to traditional service management that have not been emphasized sufficiently elsewhere. The ISMF is based on integral psychology: psychology using approaches from many different perspectives that all contain part of the truth but only when used together permit a complete view of the person. The power of integral psychology is that it permits us to look at service management from a large number of different perspectives that otherwise easily get ignored: culture, communication, motivation, behavior. Integral psychology applied to service management leads to a more human-oriented and value-driven way of providing services.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. ungekürzt.

Moving Forward and Making a Difference: 7 Keys to Unleashing Positive and Progressive Principles to Fulfill Your Purpose in Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 659min

In his newest book, Arthur L. Mackey Jr. lets us know that everyone in every realm of life - believers and nonbelievers; journalists, reporters, and news anchors; and Independents, Democrats, and Republicans - are talking about moving forward. Mackey chronicles great thinkers and notable past and present-day movers and shakers of history - such as Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; Nelson Mandela; Malala Yousafzai; Joel Osteen; Oprah Winfrey; Israel Houghton; Frederick Douglass; and John Maxwell - who have emphasized the importance of the concept of moving forward. Yet Mackey makes it crystal clear when, where, why, what, and with whom this moving forward concept and conversation first began. Mackey clearly shows in Moving Forward and Making a Difference that God himself was the being to first proclaim the positive and progressive message that motivates the masses in drastic need of freedom and economic, social, and political change. Since God was the first to discuss the concept of moving forward, secular society needs to receive and respect his word to a hurting humanity in drastic need of meaning. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Fresh Air, Dr. Jonathan Edlow and Jeremiah Tower, Hörbuch, Digital, 50min

Lyme Disease expert, Dr. Jonathan Edlow and chef Jeremiah Tower on this edition of Fresh Air. Dr. Jonathan Edlow is the author of the new book Bull's Eye: Unraveling the Medical Mystery of Lyme Disease. In the book he chronicles the emergence of the disease, how scattered clues led to the cause - bacterium Borelia burgdorferi, and then to the deer tick that spread it.

Jeremiah Tower is considered one of the chefs behind modern California cuisine - which emphasized the use of locally grown ingredients to elevate simple dishes to fine delicacies. That in turn launched a revolution in American regional cookery. Tower began his career as chef and co-owner of Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California. He went on to run restaurants in San Francisco, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Seattle. He's written a new memoir, California Dish: What I Saw (and Cooked) at the American Culinary Revolution.
