Cosmocopia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 252min
An insane, broken pulp-art painter gets chance at redemption in a phantasmagoric science fiction wonder from a true master of the weird. Before his stroke and the onset of old age, Frank Lazorg was the king of the fantasy illustrators - with an ego to match. But he can paint no more. That is, until he starts taking a bizarre new drug that promises to restore his creative powers. Unfortunately, artistic reinvigoration comes with a steep price tag: addiction and madness. With his rage and jealousy unleashed and his grasp of reality severely compromised, Lazorg is led to commit an unspeakable act, and, in turn, is led... somewhere else. Suddenly naked and helpless, the artist finds himself in a world of abiding strangeness, filled with monstrous things that seem to mock, yet oddly mirror, Lazorg's previous reality. And here is Crutchsump, a remarkable creature possessing great love and rare compassion, who could possibly aid in Lazorg's ultimate salvation as he spirals downward through the Cosmocopia and ever-closer to the Conceptus. Arguably the most inventive force in science fiction since Philip K. Dick in his heyday, Paul Di Filippo outdoes even Paul Di Filippo with his remarkable Cosmocopia. Outrageous, ingenious, nightmarish, funny, provocative, and utterly unforgettable, this is a glittering testament to the towering heights science fiction can achieve. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Memoirs from Within , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 112min
In our lifetimes, most of us endure a number of relationships in which we struggle to define the time spent there. In each, we search to find connections to call our own, but silently as we reluctantly resist our forthcomings, so do the individuals we “commit” ourselves too. When - and if - that connection becomes disturbed or disconnected altogether, what transpires next? For me, blame was issued that would lead to bouts with frustration, anger, and eventually hate. Rarely did I look within to find my cause to what the situation yielded - instead I focused on my “self-preservation.” Unreasonable reasonings would develop for how I defined love, imparting false wisdom and shallow character traits in my heart, which subsequently damaged each woman I uttered the word to. A few valued friendships painstakingly persisted through my stubbornness and ultimately played a significant role in helping me save what I came to value most. Ownership for refusing to face my suppressed pain gave way to guilt and empathy for the hurt I caused to others, simultaneously prompting me to tell my story in hopes of helping someone through my testimony. Memoirs from Within re-accounts the story of how a young boy rode the waves of a single emotion and grew to become a man that purposely neglected exploration of its true meaning, until it was nearly too late… ungekürzt.

Go Suck a Lemon: Strategies for Improving Your Emotional Intelligence , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 312min
Many of your emotional responses, regardless of how much strength you've given them, can be brought down, deconstructed, and reshaped. You will just have to learn how to give your knee-jerk response to emotional stimuli less strength - less of a jerk. To do that you will have to commit to reinventing the way you think and behave. With Go Suck a Lemon, you will approach that task by accepting and then adapting to a no-nonsense style of emotional problem solving. You will learn and use a process of level-headed decision-making. You will try to become more efficient, flexible, and open-minded when addressing your emotional problems. You will learn that there is always another emotional option. You will learn to make fact-based observations, something most of us are unfamiliar with doing. You will also incorporate in vivo (in life) exposure, i.e., homework, to encourage you to independently act against your learned thoughts and behaviors. In the end, you will become more informed, increasingly more capable, and far more emotionally self-reliant. Instead of being your own worst enemy, you will become your own best friend - your own therapist. We may be strengthened when we learn to be emotionally self-reliant, to free ourselves from emotional helplessness and our dependence on others for our emotional solutions. ungekürzt.
