    Evoking Emotion: Writing Lessons from the Front, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 82min
    Readers pick up nonfiction books to learn something. They pick up novels to feel something: love, fear, joy, grief, elation, frustration, happiness, desperation, anger, despair, determination...or all of the above. We write novels to give readers a vicarious emotional experience. They want to weep when our characters weep and rejoice when they rejoice. Most of all, readers want to learn what our characters learn - a memorable lesson to enrich their lives.Angela Hunt explains how novelists can do all of those things, and she reveals specific techniques we can use to evoke emotion in the reader. These writing lessons, Hunt says, "are brief for a reason - I don’t want you to spend most of your time reading how-to books. I will give you what you need so you can put what you’ve learned into practice. That’s the best way to improve."Enjoy this writing lesson for a fraction of the cost of attending one of Angela's writing classes. Your writing will never be the same. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Why of War: An Unorthodox Soldier's Memoirs , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 308min
    For me, Iraq didn't have many gunfights or arm bars. No pillage or rape. No elation for freed Iraqis or empathy when its dictator swung from a hangman's noose. I was angered by having had to go and wanted to crack the world open and pour out her rotten core.The Why of War chronicles 15 years of my US cavalry scout career. From introduction to conclusion, from stroke to mass shootings, this story is guaranteed to be seared into your memory. Now that the story has been written and has flowed to its truth, I realize it encompasses so much more than a question or a collection of memories. It serves as a bullhorn for other veterans to use to tell their stories. I am confident, I wasn't the only one asking why we invaded Iraq while I was there. Civilian listeners may gain a better understanding when thanking a veteran for their service.In many ways, the story serves as a reminder that no matter where we find ourselves, what condition to which we have fallen, we can be better. We owe that to our fallen soldiers. Welcome to my why of war.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tweet Productions.

    Summary, Analysis, and Review of Gary Chapman's The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 34min
    PLEASE NOTE: This is a key takeaways and analysis of the book and NOT the original book. Start Publishing Notes' Summary, Analysis, and Review of Gary Chapman's The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts includes: Summary of the book A Review Analysis & Key Takeaways A detailed "About the Author" section Preview: The core thesis of pastor/marriage counselor Gary Chapman's most popular book, New York Times best seller The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts, is that "[m]ost in our society have not yet the learned the difference between in love and real love" (133). Chapman begins by outlining these two loves, as they apply to a marriage: Romantic love, which is akin to obsession, is an irrational, temporary, powerful, quasi-biological state that lasts roughly two years, full of madness and elation and a (possibly superficial) complete absorption of the self into another. This contrasts to emotional love, which is complicated, disciplined, rational, intentional, and ultimately enduring. People fall into patterns, and as polemical as Chapman's thinking and explanations can sound, his advice is earnest and clear. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Gilboe.

    Why Have Kids?: A New Mom Explores the Truth About Parenting and Happiness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 316min
    In Why Have Kids?, Valenti explores these controversial questions through on-the-ground reporting, startling new research, and her own unique experiences as a mom. She moves beyond the black and white “mommy wars” over natural parenting, discipline, and work-life balance to explore a more nuanced reality: one filled with ambivalence, joy, guilt, and exhaustion. Would-be parents must navigate the decision to have children amidst a daunting combination of cultural expectations and hard facts. And new parents find themselves struggling to reconcile their elation with the often exhausting, confusing, and expensive business of child care. When researchers for a 2010 Pew study asked parents why they decided to have their first child, nearly 90 percent answered, for “the joy of having children”. Yet nearly every study in the last 10 years shows a marked decline in the life satisfaction of those with kids. Valenti explores this disconnect between parents’ hopes and the day-to-day reality of raising children - revealing all the ways mothers and fathers are quietly struggling. A must-listen for parents as well as those considering starting a family, Why Have Kids? is an explosive addition to the conversation about modern parenthood. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Startup Rising: The Entrepreneurial Revolution Remaking the Middle East , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 444min
    Despite the world's elation at the Arab Spring, shockingly little has changed politically in the Middle East; even frontliners Egypt and Tunisia continue to suffer repression, fixed elections, and bombings, while Syria descends into civil war. But in the midst of it all, a quieter revolution has begun to emerge, one that might ultimately do more to change the face of the region: Entrepreneurship. As a seasoned angel investor in emerging markets, Christopher M. Schroeder was curious but skeptical about the future of investing in the Arab world. Travelling to Dubai, Cairo, Amman, Beirut, Istanbul, and even Damascus, he saw thousands of talented, successful, and intrepid entrepreneurs, all willing to face cultural, legal, and societal impediments inherent to their worlds. Equally important, he saw major private equity firms, venture capitalists, and tech companies like Google, Intel, Cisco, Yahoo, LinkedIn, and PayPal making significant bets, despite the uncertainty in the region. Here, he marries his own observations with the predictions of these tech giants to offer a surprising and timely look at the second stealth revolution in the Middle East - one that promises to reinvent it as a center of innovation and progress. ungekürzt.
