The Obscured Journey: Rise From the Fog of Uncertainty , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 302min
The human condition is one riddled with complexities about the path we yearn for, who we are, and what we believe.We have become so dogmatic in our own beliefs that when they don’t come to fruition or we find them to be a hoax, our journey can come crashing down with doubt, fear, and uncertainty. Many individuals think they know why they are doing what they do, where they will end up, or who they wish to be in three to seven years until a catastrophic event called life occurs.We dream to live adventurously but the fear of change confines us to only existing, which is to survive in the fog of society thus creating a disoriented/invisible sensation. The unknown causes our thoughts to imprison us as we ponder if we will ever be content or if we will forever be in debt paying bills. We work hard to be accepted instead of acknowledged. We wonder about our next occupation or what comes after retirement. We worry about things we can’t control then suffer from anxiety. Our breath is limited by our determination and imagination yet those things we can take hold of.We exclaim at times to be lost, but to be lost is to know where X marks the spot yet unclear on how to get there. So the question is:What’s the Journey Toward X?This book is meant to help you not only choose your path, but how to choose it wisely and magnanimously. ungekürzt. Language: English.

A Body, Undone: Living On after Great Pain , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 508min
In the early evening on October 1, 2003, Christina Crosby was three miles into a 17-mile bicycle ride, intent on reaching her goal of 1,000 miles for the riding season. She was a respected senior professor of English who had celebrated her 50th birthday a month before. As she crested a hill, she caught a branch in the spokes of her bicycle, which instantly pitched her to the pavement. Her chin took the full force of the blow, and her head snapped back. In that instant, she was paralyzed. In A Body, Undone, Crosby puts into words a broken body that seems beyond the reach of language and understanding. She writes about a body shot through with neurological pain, disoriented in time and space, incapacitated by paralysis and deadened sensation. To address this foreign body, she calls upon the readerly pleasures of narrative, critical feminist and queer thinking, and the concentrated language of lyric poetry. Working with these resources, she recalls her 1950s tomboy ways in small-town rural Pennsylvania, and records growing into the 1970s through radical feminism and the affirmations of gay liberation. Deeply unsentimental, Crosby communicates in unflinching prose the experience of "diving into the wreck" of her body to acknowledge grief, and loss, but also to recognize the beauty, fragility, and dependencies of all human bodies. A memoir that is a meditation on disability, metaphor, gender, sex, and love, A Body, Undone is a compelling account of living on, as Crosby rebuilds her body and fashions a life through writing, memory, and desire. ungekürzt.

Ties that Bind: Number 3 in the 'Tempted by Her Student' Series , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 51min, (USK 18)
There was something slightly apocalyptic in the way the girl was speaking, and Bella felt more than a little frightened now. She watched the girl get up and walk slowly to the kitchen counter where the young visitor grabbed a glass and helped herself to an opened bottle of white wine. "You want one too? Make yourself at home!" the girl joked. Bella was silent. The girl moved to the patio doors at the back of the kitchen and looked out at the garden. "You might as well have a glass," she told Bella with that seductive Spanish accent more to the fore. "I mean this party is happening, and sooner or later you're gonna climb on for the ride." Bella watched, terrified and fascinated. The glimmer of sundown caught the edges of the girl's beautiful body as she stood in that strange jewel-studded, almost illuminated, underwear. Bella couldn't help but notice the delicious little kink between the girl's waist and her hips. As in the train and as in her office, Bella's throat suddenly felt parched. Something lurched in her tummy as if she was soaring on a rollercoaster. "You have a bed upstairs?" the girl said in that matter-of-fact tone that so disoriented the older woman. "Er, yes, naturally. We don't sleep on the floor!" Bella was pleased with this reply: positive, confident, and even a small rebuke there somewhere! "And your husband wears ties?" This time Bella was less confident: "Er, yes.... Er, why do you ask?" ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Velvet Campbell Stewart.

Coffin Road , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 621min
In his latest mystery set in Scotland and the Outer Hebrides, award-winning author Peter May spins a tale about three disparate cases that may or may not be linked.... On the remote Isle of Harris in Scotland's Outer Hebrides, a man washes up on a deserted beach, hypothermic and completely disoriented. He has no idea who he is or how he got there. The only clue to his condition is a map of the island showing a desolate, ancient path called the Coffin Road. With a sense of dread and no clear idea what lies at the other end, he knows he must follow the trail if he has any hope of discovering his identity. Meanwhile, homicide detective George Gunn makes the rough ocean crossing to a remote, sea-battered lighthouse on a rock in the northern Atlantic, 20 miles west of the Outer Hebrides, to investigate a brutal murder. Despite its isolation, the tiny island has seen its share of tragedy: more than a century earlier, three lighthouse keepers disappeared, never to be seen or heard from again. And now there is a new tragedy, and Gunn must figure out what happened. At the same time, a teenage girl lies in her Edinburgh bedroom, desperate to discover the truth about her father's death. Two years after the discovery of the pioneering scientist's suicide note, Karen Fleming still cannot accept that her father would willingly abandon her. And the more she discovers about the nature of his research, the more she suspects that suicide had nothing to do with it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Forbes.

The Times'A very human tale of rivalry, betrayal, power-grabbing and sacrifice . . .

Where the Money Is: Value Investing in the Digital Age
From a successful investor and a contributor to Barron's and Fortune comes a once-in-a-lifetime book that gives modern investors what they need most: a fresh, value-based guide to making money in a stock market now dominated by tech stocks. Technological change is reshaping the economy in a way not witnessed since Henry Ford introduced the assembly line. A little more than ten years ago, only two of the ten most valuable publicly traded companies in the world were digital enterprises—today, they comprise eight of the top ten. Investors around the world are struggling to understand the Digital Age and how they can use the stock market to profit from it. Author Adam Seessel understands. Several years ago, he watched his old-school portfolio built using traditional value investing principles decline while the market, driven by "expensive" tech stocks, advanced. Determined to reverse course, he set off in search of a new value-investment paradigm, one that remained true to the discipline that Ben Graham gave us a century ago while reflecting the new realities of the Digital Age. In Where the Money Is, Seessel introduces a refreshed value-based framework that any investor, professional or amateur, can use to beat the modern market. Like all sectors, the tech sector follows certain rules. We can study these rules, understand them, and invest accordingly. The world is changing, and we can profit from it. Approaching tech this way, the economy's current changes and the rapid rise of tech stocks are not reasons to be frightened or disoriented—they're reasons to be excited. Infused with the same kind of optimism and common sense that inspired Benjamin Graham's The Intelligent Investor and Peter Lynch's One Up on Wall Street, Where the Money Is ushers in a new era of modern value investing.- Shop: buecher

Dane and Mandy, a popular magic act for 40 years, are tragically separated by a car wreck that claims Mandy’s life—or so everyone thinks. Even as Dane mourns and tries to rebuild his life without her, Mandy, supposedly dead, awakes in the present as the19-year-old she was in 1970. Distraught and disoriented in what to her is the future, she is confined to a mental ward until she discovers a magical ability to pass invisibly through time and space to escape.

Hoping to discover an exciting new talent, Dane ventures into the coffee shop and is transfixed by the magic he sees, illusions that even he, a seasoned professional, cannot explain. But more than anything, he is emotionally devastated by this teenager who has never met him, doesn’t know him, is certainly not in love with him, but is in every respect identical to the young beauty he first met and married some 40 years earlier. They begin a furtive relationship as mentor and protégée, but even as Dane tries to sort out who she really is, and she tries to understand why she is drawn to him, they are watched by secretive interests who not only possess the answers to Mandy’s powers and misplacement in time but also the roguish ability to decide what will become of her.

Morning Routine: 7 Morning Habits of the Most Successful People to Take Control of Your Life, Get More Energy, Productivity & Results in Your Day: Small & High Performance Habits Series, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 48min
How you wake up each morning sets the frame for the rest of your day and how it is going to eventuate. Ultimately, if you wake up every day in the most optimal, productive, driven, purposeful way that will set you up for success, this will compound into months, years, and an entire lifetime of difference. Contrast this to most people who never take the time to craft an effective morning routine to set them up for success throughout their day. What ends up happening is they walk through life in a half-asleep daze, disoriented like a leaf in the wind, not knowing where they are going, constantly in reaction to external influences happening around them, and not ending up accomplishing half as much as they would like. Successful people all understand this. Oprah Winfrey, Tony Robbins, Donald Trump, Lady Gaga, Benjamin Franklin, etc. all have morning routines and rituals set up that helped lead them to the success and accomplishments they have made in their lives. In fact, many of them attributed the role of a morning routine to a big part of where they are now. As Aristotle once said, we are what we repeatedly do, excellence therefore is not an act, but a habit. He was of course right, what we do consistently becomes our default reality, and our habits therefore become our destiny. What we are going to be learning and discovering inside this book is the seven morning habits of the most successful people to take control of your life, get more energy, productivity, & results in your day. ungekürzt.
