    Left Brain, Right Stuff: How Leaders Make Winning Decisions , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 524min
    Left Brain, Right Stuff takes up where other books about decision making leave off. For many routine choices, from shopping to investing, we can make good decisions simply by avoiding common errors, such as searching only for confirming information or avoiding the hindsight bias. But as Phil Rosenzweig shows, for many of the most important, more complex situations we face — in business, sports, politics, and more — a different way of thinking is required. Leaders must possess the ability to shape opinions, inspire followers, manage risk, and outmaneuver and outperform rivals. Making winning decisions calls for a combination of skills: Clear analysis and calculation — left brain — as well as the willingness to push boundaries and take bold action — right stuff. Of course leaders need to understand the dynamics of competition, to anticipate rival moves, to draw on the power of statistical analysis, and to be aware of common decision errors — all features of left brain thinking. But to achieve the unprecedented in real-world situations, much more is needed. Leaders also need the right stuff. In business, they have to devise plans and inspire followers for successful execution; in politics, they must mobilize popular support for a chosen program; in the military, commanders need to commit to a battle strategy and lead their troops; and in start-ups, entrepreneurs must manage risk when success is uncertain. In every case, success calls for action as well as analysis, and for courage as well as calculation. Always entertaining, often surprising, and immensely practical, Left Brain, Right Stuff draws on a wealth of examples in order to propose a new paradigm for decision making in synch with the way we have to operate in the real world. Rosenzweig’s smart and perceptive analysis of research provides fresh, and often surprising, insights on topics such as confidence and overconfidence, the uses and limits of decision models, the illusion of control, ungekürzt.

    Is gluttony just being an overly eager eater, and is it related to being obese? Gluttony comes in many forms, and many people don’t realize they are partakers of this deadly sin. If they would, however, their lives would be more enjoyable, and their actions more selfless.How addicting is food?Is gluttony related to food alone, or does it go deeper than controlling eating habits? Do the Scriptures talk about gluttony, or is it one of those things we made up after the Bible was put together? How does God look at gluttony, and where are the boundaries? These and many other questions will be answered in this book about one of the seven deadly sins.Gluttony has been mistaken for many things in the past. Some people judge others for being fat. Some are confused as to how far to go when indulging themselves in delicious foods.

    30 Days to Self Love: 30 Days to Greatness, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 61min
    Laid out with an introduction all about self-love, the book goes into short obtainable steps in a day-by-day fashion to help you focus, commit, and achieve in only one month! You might not believe it now, but by the time you're done with this challenge, you will have learned that self-love is one of the most important steps you will ever take towards happiness. To put it shortly: self-love will make you self-reliant. It will free you from the fear of loneliness and give you the freedom to act and lead your life according to your own desires and beliefs. When you will stop expecting love from those around you, you will be able to experience a fulfilling life even if you are single. Self-love will make your relationships healthier. Because self-love is not synonymous with selfishness, it does not mean that you cannot share a loving relationship with another person. In fact, when you will learn to love and rely on yourself, you will learn to stay in a relationship out of desire, rather than out of need. For many couples, the root of unhappiness lies in the fact that either one or both of the partners do not feel deserving of love. As a result, they do not feel loved, attractive or valued and take out their frustration at each other. There's a reason why they say you must learn how to love yourself before you can let others love you. Self-love will help you achieve. It will improve your self-esteem and happiness and it will empower you to reach out for your dreams, however distant they might seem initially. Whether your goals revolve around your career, financial security, charity, traveling, love, or family, having trust in yourself will increase your chances of success. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Maneuvering through her daily duties on autopilot, she finds herself gradually submerging into a passive, emotionless life. Once a vibrant, active member in her church, she knows that the only way out of a marriage, albeit loveless, is through adultery. Unwilling to commit the cardinal sin herself, she resolves to existing without passion, romance or intimacy. Until...a chance meeting with a family friend introduces temptuous options to her otherwise boring life and her previously hibernating passion becomes reignited by an unexpected blast from the past. As temptation knocks directly on Sparkle's door, she finds herself asking, "Does God forgive us if the sin is premeditated?" Meet Lisa. Beautiful and brilliant, Lisa is married to the man of her dreams, Alex. Alex is a wealthy owner of a fleet of private jets and gives Lisa anything she wants. Lisa, determined to keep him the same way that she hooked him ... which was by any means necessary, finds herself tangled in a continuous web of lies and schemes.

    Julie and Mary Seal the Deal , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 13min, (USK 18)
    Julie and Mary had just lost their editor Mark, who was leaving to follow his fiance to the other side of the pond. The gals were struggling to fill the vacancy for several reasons, but mainly the shoestring budget they were on. Once Peter applied, the girls had to find a way to get him to commit to work for less money, and after that interview, I think he may work for free! Warning: This audiobook contains very explicit descriptions of FFM office sex. Only mature adults who will not be offended by such content should read this story. Here is a preview: Standing up, he came around to the other side of the desk, kneeling down at my feet, with his face so near my crotch, that he could probably smell my sex. His tongue came out of his mouth, and he licked it across his lips, giving me a special insight to what it might feel like inside of me. I could have easily thrown caution to the wind, but I wasn't going to do that until I knew for certain that this was really what he wanted. “Whoa, what do you think you are doing?” “I think we both know that there is something here between us, and I figured that the best way to get to know you better was to just go for broke and tell you what I want.” Before I had a chance to react, he had spread my legs on my chair, putting my legs over each side, essentially leaving me spread before him in a very vulnerable state. Not to say that looking down at his handsome face wasn't something, but I just didn't know if I could be what he wanted me to be. It didn't look like he was going to take no for an answer, as he peeled my panties to the side to see my wetness staring him right in the eye. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jess Bella.

    Neptune: The Allied Invasion of Europe and the D-Day Landings , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 918min
    Seventy years ago, more than 6000 Allied ships carried more than a million soldiers across the English Channel to a 50-mile-wide strip of the Normandy coast in German-occupied France. It was the greatest sea-borne assault in human history. The code names given to the beaches where the ships landed the soldiers have become immortal: Gold, Juno, Sword, Utah, and especially Omaha, the scene of almost unimaginable human tragedy. The sea of crosses in the cemetery sitting today atop a bluff overlooking the beaches recalls to us its cost. Most accounts of this epic story begin with the landings on the morning of June 6, 1944. In fact, however, D-Day was the culmination of months and years of planning and intense debate. In the dark days after the evacuation of Dunkirk in the summer of 1940, British officials and, soon enough, their American counterparts, began to consider how, and, where, and especially when, they could re-enter the European Continent in force. The Americans, led by U.S. Army Chief of Staff General George C. Marshall, wanted to invade as soon as possible; the British, personified by their redoubtable prime minister, Winston Churchill, were convinced that a premature landing would be disastrous. The often-sharp negotiations between the English-speaking allies led them first to North Africa, then into Sicily, then Italy. Only in the spring of 1943, did the Combined Chiefs of Staff commit themselves to an invasion of northern France. The code name for this invasion was Overlord, but everything that came before, including the landings themselves and the supply system that made it possible for the invaders to stay there, was code-named Neptune. Craig L. Symonds now offers the complete story of this Olympian effort, involving transports, escorts, gunfire support ships, and landing craft of every possible size and function. The obstacles to success were many. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Craig L. Symonds. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/019813/bk_adbl_019813_sample.mp3.
