    OCPD and the Extreme Male Brain Theory , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 35min
    This audiobook seeks to explain the potential links between OCPD and Autism spectrum disorder, Asperger's syndrome, and schizophrenia. It touches base on Cohen's extreme male brain theory and what it means for people with OCPD. It correlates the traits of the former disorder with that of the latter disorders. People with OCPD often struggle in a marriage. There are many reasons why this is true. Their critical nature often tends to wear on their partners. They become obsessive and compulsive about the neatness of the home, often complaining to their spouse and children if things are out of place. They are overly self-conscientious when they go out in public. They are often on autopilot, so they are generally forgetful. Others become deeply annoyed with OCPD people who rarely seem to pay attention or listen to them. People with OCPD often have meltdowns if the rules or routine is changed. If the family intends to go to a movie and someone suggests stopping for dinner at the last minute, this can send them into a fit of rage. Many OCPD people are task-oriented and object-oriented. They must have symmetry in a room, or the visual presentation of the room will throw their mind into disarray. They feel like their brains are somewhat disorganized, and they may compensate for it by obsessively organizing everything else in their environment. It is said that nearly 80 percent of people with ADHD and autism spectrum disorder experience a failed marriage, if they ever marry at all. Many people with Asperger's syndrome are averse to marriage and relationships. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gene Blake.

    Communication Failures Between Men and Women: Why Husbands Can't Seem to Communicate Effectively (and Why Wives are Guilty of Nagging): Transcend Mediocrity, Book 65 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 26min
    We've known for centuries that many men and women struggle in their marriages to communicate with, connect to, and relate to each other. It seems that even the most intelligent men marrying the most intelligent women seem to be on a completely different playing field from each other. Once the honeymoon period of marriage wears off, we are left scratching our heads. Our loving partner has become seemingly so difficult and averse to conversation that we stop bothering to talk to them at all. It is said that the average women says four words per day to her husband, most of which is some type of request relating to the house, finances, or children. Is it that men are from a different planet and speak a completely different language from their wives? With the divorce rate higher than it was a century ago, it seems that many couples have given up trying to have any meaningful conversation at all. But why is there a discord between the sexes? The truth is that there are many ways in which men relate to each other that strongly interfere with their communication as it pertains to women. Men who struggle to talk with women have little experience in having a mutually beneficial conversation with any woman, be it their mom, sister, coworker, or wife. They can turn on the charm and relate with witty banter, but when it comes to conflicts and emotional discussion, they tend to fall short. This inability for husbands to communicate effectively with their wives, other female coworkers, or other female family members causes strained relationships and a feeling of emotional invalidation on the end of the female. Let's explore the different ways in which men communicate differently than women and which hinder the mutual exchange of information between men and women in all types of relationships. ungekürzt.

    Grace: A Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 519min
    Audie Award Finalist, Narration by the Author or Authors, 2014Beautiful. Willful. Charming. Blunt. Grace Coddington’s extraordinary talent and fierce dedication to her work as creative director of Vogue have made her an international icon. Known through much of her career only to those behind the scenes, she might have remained fashion’s best-kept secret were it not for The September Issue, the acclaimed 2009 documentary that turned publicity-averse Grace into a sudden, reluctant celebrity. Grace’s palpable engagement with her work brought a rare insight into the passion that produces many of the magazine’s most memorable shoots. With the witty, forthright voice that has endeared her to her colleagues and peers for more than 40 years, Grace now creatively directs the listener through the storied narrative of her life so far. Evoking the time when models had to tote their own bags and props to shoots, Grace describes her early career as a model, working with such world-class photographers as David Bailey and Norman Parkinson, before she stepped behind the camera to become a fashion editor at British Vogue in the late 1960s. Here she began creating the fantasy "travelogues" that would become her trademark. In 1988 she joined American Vogue, where her breathtakingly romantic and imaginative fashion features, a sampling of which appear in this book, have become instant classics. Delightfully underscored by Grace’s pen-and-ink illustrations, Grace will introduce listeners to the colorful designers, hairstylists, makeup artists, photographers, models, and celebrities with whom Grace has created her signature images. Grace reveals her private world with equal candor - the car accident that almost derailed her modeling career, her two marriages, the untimely death of her sister, Rosemary, her friendship with Harper’s Bazaar editor-in-chief Liz Tilberis, and her 30-year romance with Didier Malige.

The next big marketing idea is a proven strategy for making your products or services so remarkable that they practically sell themselves. Purple Cow taught marketers the value of standing out from the herd, which is how companies like Krispy Kreme and JetBlue made it big. But it left readers hungry for more: How do you actually think up new Purple Cows? And how do you get them adopted by risk-averse Brown Cow companies? Free Prize Inside delivers those answers and much more. It's a fun guide to doing innovative marketing that really works when the traditional approaches have all stopped working. Thirty years ago, the best way to sell something was to advertise it on television.

Even better, it ought to come with a market-changing innovation - a free prize inside. You don't have to spend a fortune to create something cool that virtually sells itself. Think of simple but powerful innovations like the Tupperware party, Flintstones vitamins, G.I. Joe (a doll just for boys), Lucille Roberts (a gym just for women), and frequent flier miles. Free Prize Inside will teach you how to create those kinds of blockbusters at your own company without a bunch of MBA-brainwashed marketers. You don't have to be a genius - you just need curiosity, initiative, and a strategy for overcoming resistance when you champion your idea. We're all marketers now, no matter what our job titles. With Godin's help, we can find the free prize that will transform our companies. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Seth Godin.

    The First Billion is the Hardest: Reflections on a Life of Comebacks and America's Energy Future , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 488min
    Now 80 years old, T. Boone Pickens is a legendary figure in the business world. Known as the "Oracle of Oil" because of his uncanny ability to predict the direction of fuel prices, he built Mesa Petroleum, one of the largest independent oil companies in the United States, from a $2,500 investment. In the 1980s, Pickens became a household name when he executed a series of unsolicited buyout bids for undervalued oil companies, in the process reinventing the notion of shareholders' rights. Even his failures were successful in that they forced risk-averse managers to reconsider the way they did business. When Pickens left Mesa at age 68 after a spectacular downward spiral in the company's profits, many counted him out. Indeed, what followed for him was a painful divorce, clinical depression, a temporary inability to predict the movement of energy prices, and the loss of 90 percent of his investing capital. But Pickens was far from out. From that personal and professional nadir, Pickens staged one of the most impressive comebacks in the industry, turning his investment fund's remaining $3 million into $8 billion in profit in just a few years. That made him, at age 77, the world's second-highest-paid hedge fund manager. But he wasn't done yet. Today, Pickens is making some of the world's most colossal energy bets. If he has his way, most of America's cars will eventually run on natural gas, and vast swaths of the nation's prairie land will become places where wind can be harnessed for power generation. Currently no less bold than he was decades ago when he single-handedly transformed America's oil industry, Pickens is staking billions on the conviction that he knows what's coming. In this book, he spells out that future in detail, not only presenting a comprehensive plan for American energy independence but also providing a fascinating glimpse into key resources such as water - yet another area where he is putting billions on the line. ungekürzt.

    The Whiskey Rebellion: The History of Early America's Most Famous Popular Uprising , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 73min
    It should come as no surprise to anyone that it is much easier to overthrow a government than form a new one, and that in turn it is easier to form a government than to govern. The men who founded America knew these facts in theory, but in the last decade of the 18th century, they learned them by experience when, just a few years after the new Constitution had been ratified, a rebellion arose over taxes. As it turned out, some of the people who fought a war against taxation without representation were also upset by taxation even with congressional representation. Given that most people are averse to being parted from their hard-earned money for any reason, this is not surprising, but it still had to be dealt with and firmly, or the new republic might not have survived. As secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton was looking for ways to shore up the young nation's finances and pay off the debts incurred by the revolution. At the same time, he believed in strengthening the federal government vis-à-vis the states, which would eventually make him a leader of the Federalist party but also compel him to push for a tax on distillers of alcohol, many of whom took their excess corn and grain crops and produced liquors. Ironically, Hamilton came up with the idea of this tax to avoid more direct forms of taxation and because he didn't think it would be difficult to collect. What Hamilton didn't consider was just how ubiquitous the production of whiskey and other liquors were on the frontier, where they were often used as a form of currency itself. In addition to being upset at this new tax, Westerners believed it was disproportionately aimed at them because Americans still residing on the East Coast weren't as reliant on the production of whiskey. With opponents holding conventions in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the very state currently hosting the Washington administration at the capital of Philadelphia, the opposition was viewed by many as a direct thre ungekürzt.

    Spousonomics: Using Economics to Master Love, Marriage, and Dirty Dishes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 625min
    Are you happy in your marriage—except for those weekly spats over who empties the dishwasher more often? Not a single complaint—unless you count the fact that you haven’t had sex since the Bush administration? Prepared to be there in sickness and in health—so long as it doesn’t mean compromising? Be honest: Ever lay awake thinking how much more fun married life used to be? If you’re a member of the human race, then the answer is probably “yes” to all of the above. Marriage is a mysterious, often irrational business. Making it work till death do you part—or just till the end of the week—isn’t always easy. And no one ever handed you a user’s manual. Until now. With Spousonomics, Paula Szuchman and Jenny Anderson offer something new: a clear-eyed, rational route to demystifying your disagreements and improving your relationship. The key, they propose, is to think like an economist. That’s right: an economist. Economics is the study of resource allocation, after all. How do we—as partners in a society, a business, or a marriage—spend our limited time, money, and energy? And how do we allocate these resources most efficiently? Spousonomics answers these questions by taking classic economic concepts and applying them to the domestic front. For example: Arguing all night isn’t a sign of a communication breakdown; you’re just extremely loss-averse—and by refusing to give an inch, you’re risking even greater losses. Stay late at the office, or come home for dinner? Be honest about your mother-in-law, or keep your mouth shut and smile? Let the cost-benefit analysis make the call. Getting your spouse to clean the gutters isn’t a matter of nagging or guilt-tripping; it’s a question of finding the right incentives. Being “too busy” to exercise or forgetting your anniversary (again): your overtaxed memory and hectic schedule aren’t to blame—moral hazard is. And when it comes to having more ungekürzt.

    Fifty Degrees Below: Capital Trilogy, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1215min
    Best-selling, award-winning, author Kim Stanley Robinson continues his groundbreaking trilogy of eco-thrillers - and propels us deeper into the awesome whirlwind of climatic change. Set in our nation's capital, here is a chillingly realistic tale of people caught in the collision of science, technology, and the consequences of global warming - which could trigger another phenomenon: abrupt climate change, resulting in temperatures...When the storm got bad, scientist Frank Vanderwal was at work, formalizing his return to the National Science Foundation for another year. He'd left the building just in time to help sandbag at Arlington Cemetery. Now that the torrent was over, large chunks of San Diego had eroded into the sea, and D.C. was underwater. Shallow lakes occupied the most famous parts of the city. Reagan Airport was awash and the Potomac had spilled beyond its banks. Rescue boats dotted the saturated cityscape. Everything Frank and his colleagues in the halls of science and politics feared had culminated in this massive disaster. And now the world looked to them to fix it.Whatever Frank can do, now that he is homeless, he'll have to do from his car. He's not averse to sleeping outdoors. Years of research have made him hyperaware of his status as just another primate. That plus his encounter with a Tibetan Buddhist has left him resolved to live a more authentic life. Hopefully, this will prepare him for whatever is to come....For even as D.C. bails out from the flood, a more extreme climate change looms. With the melting of the polar ice caps shutting down the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, another Ice Age could be imminent. The last time it happened, eleven thousand years ago, it took just three years to start.Once again Kim Stanley Robinson uses his remarkable vision, trademark wry wit, and extraordinary insight into the complexity between man and nature to take us to the brink of disaster - and slightly beyond. ungekürzt.
