In the Body of the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 255min

From the best-selling author of The Vagina Monologues and one of Newsweek’s 150 Women Who Changed the World, a visionary memoir of separation and connection - to the body, the self, and the world Playwright, author, and activist Eve Ensler has devoted her life to the female body - how to talk about it, how to protect and value it. Yet she spent much of her life disassociated from her own body - a disconnection brought on by her father’s sexual abuse and her mother’s remoteness. “Because I did not, could not inhabit my body or the Earth,” she writes, “I could not feel or know their pain.” But Ensler is shocked out of her distance. While working in the Congo, she is shattered to encounter the horrific rape and violence inflicted on the women there. Soon after, she is diagnosed with uterine cancer, and through months of harrowing treatment, she is forced to become first and foremost a body - pricked, punctured, cut, scanned. It is then that all distance is erased. As she connects her own illness to the devastation of the earth, her life force to the resilience of humanity, she is finally, fully - and gratefully - joined to the body of the world. Unflinching, generous, and inspiring, Ensler calls on us all to embody our connection to and responsibility for the world. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Eve Ensler.

Secret Prey: Lucas Davenport, Book 9 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 735min

The company chairman lay on the cold ground of the woods, his eyes unseeing, his orange hunting jacket punctured by a rifle bullet at close range. Around him stood the four executives with whom he had been hunting, each with his or her own complicated agenda, each with a reason not to be sorrowful about the man's death. If he read it in a book, Lucas Davenport thought, it would seem like one of those classic murder mysteries, the kind where the detective gathers everyone together at the end and solves the case with a little speech. But it wasn't going to be that easy, he knew. There were currents running through this group, hints and whispers of something much greater than the murder of a single man. He had felt this way not long before, sensed the curling of an indefinable evil, and not only had it nearly gotten him killed, it had lost him his fiancee, who'd never been able to recover from the violence of the encounter. Sometime soon, unless he could stop it, there would be another death, and then still another, and Davenport couldn't help but wonder if maybe this time, the final death might not be his own.... John Sandford has written extraordinary thrillers before, but nothing to top the startling twists and unrelenting suspense of Secret Prey. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Richard Ferrone.

Broken Butterfly: My Daughter's Struggle with Brain Injury , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 655min

It all began with the bite of a mosquito. Yes, just the bite of a pesky, seemingly innocuous, little insect that had been sucking her blood. Not just one, but hundreds had punctured her arms and legs with red marks which later swelled to small welts. Who would ever have thought that our family's life would become derailed, that its tightly woven fabric would eventually fray and break - all from the bite of a mosquito? In November of 1970, the Finell family's lives were changed forever by a family vacation to Acapulco. Seven-year-old Stephanie fell ill soon after their return to the United States, but her mother, Karin, thinking it was an intestinal disorder, kept her home from school for a few days. She was completely unprepared when Stephanie went into violent convulsions on a Friday morning. Following a series of tests at the hospital, doctors concluded she had contracted viral equine encephalitis while in Mexico. After a string of massive seizures - one leading to cardiac arrest - Stephanie fell into a six-week coma. When she awoke, her world had changed from predictable and comforting to one where the ground was shaking. Due to the swelling of her brain from encephalitis, she suffered serious brain damage. Doctors saw little hope of recovery for Stephanie and encouraged her parents to place her in an institution, but they refused. In Broken Butterfly, Karin Finell recounts the struggles faced by both her and her daughter, as well as the small victories won over the ensuing years. Little was known about brain injuries during that time, and Karin was forced to improvise, relying on her instincts, to treat Stephanie. Despite the toll on the family - alcoholism, divorce, and estrangement - Karin never gave up hope for Stephanie's recovery. Through Stephanie's story, her mother has found a way to share that optimism - and her lessons - with the world. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Allie Mars.

This Mysterious Realm Called Sleep: Book 3: Amazing Truths About Past and Future Time Travel While Asleep - Some Journeys Saved Lives, Others Were Tragically Ignored , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 110min

How did a beautiful little blonde girl called Reeva Rebecca Steenkamp predict her own violent murder when she was a teenager? Reeva made headlines around the world after Valentine's Day 2013, when she was savagely killed by her lover - double-amputee paralympic champion and Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius. American schoolboy Matt Thieu, 14, had a vivid dream in which a deranged gunman went berserk at his school - Deer Park Middle in Jefferson County. That nightmare foretold yet another deadly school shooting. Matt survived, but a bullet shattered his ribs and punctured his lung. In 1935, Iris Farczady, the 15-year-old daughter of a Budapest engineer, had influenza and hovered near death. Early in her recovery, she amazed her family by seeming to have forgotten her own language. She spoke only Spanish and did not recognize her mother, whom she called Señora. Then came more incredible revelations about the spirits of two females - one physically dead, the other alive - battling to inhabit the body of Iris. Rosa Menichelli was dead. That is what everyone believed. But long after her burial, she appeared to be sending desperate help-me messages from the grave. That was why they arranged to have her exhumed. They found only her skeleton, and it was upside down. Two doctors examined the coffin carefully. On the lid and the side walls were scratch marks. More were on the base, and it seemed she had wriggled over and tried to claw her way downwards. The coffin was sealed and re-buried, and Doctor Stoppolino wrote in his notes: "Nobody but herself could know that Rosa Menichelli was buried alive. We shall never know how her voice came across the frontiers of time to tell us." On October 19, 1966, 10-year-old Eryl Mai Jones surprised her mother with a strange statement: "Mummy, I'm not afraid to die." Why? Because she'd dreamt of her own death. And she predicted accurately that she would then be buried between two of her friends. Two ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Graham Watkins.

Burn Rate: Launching a Startup and Losing My Mind

The co-founder of the menswear startup Bonobos opens up about the struggle with bipolar disorder that nearly cost him everything in this gripping, radically honest memoir of mental illness and entrepreneurship. "Arrestingly candid . . . the most powerful book I've read on manic depression since An Unquiet Mind."-Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of WorkLife ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2022-Forbes At twenty-eight, fresh from Stanford's MBA program and steeped in the move-fast-and-break-things ethos of Silicon Valley, Andy Dunn was on top of the world. He was building a new kind of startup-a digitally native, direct-to-consumer brand-out of his Manhattan apartment. Bonobos was a new-school approach to selling an old-school product: men's pants. Against all odds, business was booming. Hustling to scale the fledgling venture, Dunn raised tens of millions of dollars while boundaries between work and life evaporated. As he struggled to keep the startup afloat, Dunn was haunted by a ghost: a diagnosis of bipolar disorder he received after a frightening manic episode in college, one that had punctured the idyllic veneer of his midwestern upbringing. He had understood his diagnosis as an unspeakable shame that-according to the taciturn codes of his fraternity, the business world, and even his family-should be locked away. As Dunn's business began to take off, however, some of the very traits that powered his success as a founder-relentless drive, confidence bordering on hubris, and ambition verging on delusion-were now threatening to undo him. A collision course was set in motion, and it would culminate in a night of mayhem-one poised to unravel all that he had built. Burn Rate is an unconventional entrepreneurial memoir, a parable for the twenty-first-century economy, and a revelatory look at the prevalence of mental illness in the startup community. With intimate prose, Andy Dunn fearlessly shines a light on the dark side of success and challenges us all to take part in the deepening conversation around creativity, performance, and disorder.
