    Murderous Minds, Volume 3: Stories of Real Life Murderers That Escaped the Headlines , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 165min
    To what lengths will someone go in order to survive? Does the survival instinct override their conscience and allow them to commit not only murder, but also the taboo act of cannibalism?

Are these people driven by a desire so insatiable that they are incapable of controlling it?Murderous Minds, Volume 3: Stories of Real Life Murderers That Escaped the Headlines is the latest offering in a series that takes you inside the lives of killers who committed cold-blooded murder, for a glimpse at events that drove them to kill.

    Obama's Last Stand: Playbook 2012 (POLITICO Inside Election 2012) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 160min
    A series of audiobooks on the 2012 presidential election, Politico's Playbook 2012 provides an unprecedented real-time account of the race for the White House. The third edition, Obama's Last Stand, follows the reelection campaign of President Barack Obama as it struggles to find a winning formula in a political landscape that has changed dramatically since his history-making victory in 2008. Though battered and bruised after nearly four years in office, Barack Obama remains the most competitive player on the field in American politics today. In Obama's Last Stand, Politico White House correspondent Glenn Thrush chronicles the efforts of the president and his team to secure a second term in the face of a determined opposition, unfavorable economic headwinds, and a series of missteps by his own team. This is a revealing portrait of the president at the most precarious moment in his political life, with insights and anecdotes drawn straight from the notebook of one of the most perceptive reporters in America. The trash-talking schoolyard athlete in Obama is very much in evidence, especially when he speaks caustically about his Republican rivals, including the man he thinks is trying to steal his legacy, Mitt Romney. Yet apart from Romney and the uncertain economy, Obama's greatest obstacle on the road to reelection may be Obama 2008. He and his team of talented advisers must try to reconcile their nostalgia for that once-in-a-lifetime campaign with the realities of an election fundamentally altered by the advent of super PACs and the evaporation of Obama's superstar popularity. That challenge has led a campaign operation that once prided itself on flawless execution of strategy to commit several of the most dangerous unforced errors of Obama's political career. Yet the game is far from over. If Obama is sometimes his own worst enemy, he also has the talent and drive to reclaim this race. Spurred on by the realistic p ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Dip , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 92min
    Every new project (or job, or hobby, or company) starts out exciting and fun. Then it gets harder and less fun, until it hits a low point: really hard, and not much fun at all. And then you find yourself asking if the goal is even worth the hassle. Maybe you're in a Dip: a temporary setback that you will overcome if you keep pushing. But maybe it's really a Cul-de-Sac, which will never get better, no matter how hard you try. According to best-selling author Seth Godin, what really sets superstars apart from everyone else is the ability to escape dead ends quickly while staying focused and motivated when it really counts. Winners quit fast, quit often, and quit without guilt: until they commit to beating the right Dip for the right reasons. In fact, winners seek out the Dip. They realize that the bigger the barrier, the bigger the reward for getting past it. If you can become number one in your niche, you'll get more than your fair share of profits, glory, and long-term security. Losers, on the other hand, fall into two basic traps. Either they fail to stick out the Dip - they get to the moment of truth and then give up - or they never even find the right Dip to conquer. Whether you're a graphic designer, a sales rep, an athlete, or an aspiring CEO, this fun little book will help you figure out if you're in a Dip that's worthy of your time, effort, and talents. If you are, The Dip will inspire you to hang tough. If not, it will help you find the courage to quit so you can be number one at something else. Seth Godin doesn't claim to have all the answers. But he will teach you how to ask the right questions. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Seth Godin. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/000068/bk_adbl_000068_sample.mp3.

    The Long Journey Home , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 69min
    The autumn wind of an Indiana night blows across the cemetery. It plays a malevolent, whistling tune through the trees of the cemetery as Peter Baker stands motionless, surveying the soft, brown earth that holds his beloved wife, Veronica. Tears well up in his eyes as he gazes down upon the inscription on her gravestone. He comes here a lot now, reminiscing over all the good times he had with Veronica, and their private conversations. An aspiring poet, something she wrote for him still haunts his dreams at night: this I will remember when the rest of life is through, the finest thing I have ever done was simply loving you. The feelings he'd had to endure - anger, abandonment, denial, disbelief, social withdrawl, and then even guilt - made him feel powerless over his own destiny. And crimes like these - unexpected, violent, and forever - are hard enough to bear without the fact that the victim's killer has yet to be brought to justice. But now Peter has crossed over the edge of his normally moral ground and intends to kill the man responsible for his wife's death. Once a God-fearing man, he will now embark on a personal vendetta to commit murder - in spite of the obvious and long lasting effect it will have on his mind, heart, and most of all, his soul. Will Peter toss aside his faith in God and take another's life, or will he realize that possibly spending the rest of his life behind bars isn't worth the few moments of satisfaction he'd gain from taking another man's life, to fall from grace with God? In The Long Journey Home, author David Boyer provides a glimpse into the wounded soul of a man who believes that personal revenge may be the only way to find his way back to God. ungekürzt.

    The Beta Male Revolution: Why Many Men Have Totally Lost Interest in Marriage in Today's Society , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 439min
    If there is one audiobook available that allows men and women to fully understand why deceitful, duplicitous, and highly manipulative members of the opposite sex cheat and commit adultery regularly, then this is it. For male listeners, author and professional dating coach Alan Roger Currie goes into detail explaining the difference in the appeal of an Alpha male versus a Beta male in the eyes of women and how each type of man satisfies different needs for women. For female listeners, Currie explains the psychological effects of Dr. Sigmund Freud's Madonna / Whore Complex, which explains why many men view some women as being appealing as a casual sex lover only while categorizing other women as 'good girls' who they would have no problem entering into a long-term romantic relationship with or possibly proposing marriage to. Part One of the audiobook offers a brief history of why marriage became popular in the 18th century and how later the Victorian Era encouraged women to present themselves to men as sexually pure and ideal candidates for marriage. In Part Two, Currie describes the difference between those men and women who are appealing only for casual sex versus those who are more appealing for long-term relationships and marriage. And finally, in Part Three, Currie offers detailed descriptions of the 'harsh realities' and challenges facing men and women today and what the outlook is for the future of dating and monogamous marriages. If you want an audiobook that feeds into "romantic fairy tales" and highly invalid dating advice, then this is not the audiobook for you. On the other hand, if you want an audiobook that is full of blunt, real-world dating advice that will help both men and women fully understand the psychology and motivations of the opposite sex, then purchase The Beta Male Revolution audiobook immediately and be enlightened. ungekürzt.

    Guilty: Liberal 'Victims' and Their Assault on America, Hörbuch, Digital, 351min
    Liberals seem to have hit upon a reverse Christ story as their belief system. He suffered and died for our sins; liberals make the rest of us suffer for sins we didn’t commit. Who are the victims here? To hear liberals tell it, you'd think they do nothing but suffer at the hands of ruthless entities like the "Republican Attack Machine" and Fox News. Really? It’s just another instance of the Big Lie, of course, told so often that some people have actually started to believe it. In Guilty, Ann Coulter explodes this myth to reveal that when it comes to bullying, no one outdoes the Left. Citing case after case, ranging from the hilariously absurd to the shockingly vicious, Coulter dissects these so-called victims who are invariably the oppressors. For instance: Single mothers: Getting pregnant isn’t like catching the flu. There are volitional acts involved - someone else explain it to Dennis Kucinich. By this purposeful act, single mothers cause irreparable harm to other human beings - their own children - as countless studies on the subject make clear. The myth of the Republican Attack Machine: The most amazing thing liberals have done is create the myth of a compliant right-wing media with Republicans badgering baffled reporters into attacking Democrats. It's so mad, it’s brilliant. It's one kind of lie to say the Holocaust occurred when the Swedes killed the Jews. But it's another kind of lie entirely to say the Holocaust occurred when the Jews killed the Nazis. "Brave" liberals: In addition to being beautiful, compassionate tribunes of the downtrodden, liberals are brave. I know that because they’re always telling me how brave they are. Why, five nights a week, MS-NBC’s Keith Olbermann courageously books guests who completely agree with him. It doesn’t get much braver than that. Obambi's luck: While B. Hussein Obama piously condemned attacks on candidates' ­families, his media Language: English. Narrator: Ann Coulter.
