Summary and Analysis of The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 35min
Oftentimes, life leads a person on a quest of contemplative knowledge. Each person experiences this at some point or another during a lifetime seeking only the deepest of answers to the deepest of questions. This contemplation is based on the eternal question of faith versus destiny. Is mankind led by a road which twists and turns forcing one to one's predetermined destiny?

What is beginner's luck? What are the explanations of some of the eternal burning questions presented to the universe by mankind? What is the meaning of life? Why are we here? As the listener peruses through the minutes of The Alchemist written by Paulo Coelho, theories of these ancient questions are presented in a manner resembling a parable and comparative in shaping one's way of thinking to Aesop's fables.

Half-Earth: Our Planet's Fight for Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 411min
Refusing to accept the mass extinction of species as an inevitability, "the world's greatest naturalist" (Jeffrey Sachs) proposes a plan to save Earth's imperiled biosphere. Half-Earth resoundingly concludes the best-selling trilogy begun by The Social Conquest of Earth and The Meaning of Human Existence, a National Book Award finalist. History is not a prerogative of the human species, Edward O. Wilson declares in Half-Earth, a brave work that becomes a radical redefinition of human history. Demonstrating that we blindly ignore the histories of millions of other species, Wilson warns of a point of no return that is imminent. Angrily challenging the fashionable theories of anthropocenes, who contend that humans can survive alone in an Edenic bubble engineered for their own survival, Wilson documents that the biosphere does not belong to us. Yet, refusing to believe that our extinction is, as so many fear, predetermined, Wilson has written Half-Earth as a cri de coeur, proposing that the only solution to our impending "sixth extinction" is to increase the area of natural reserves to half the surface of the Earth. Suffused with a profound Darwinian understanding of our planet's fragility, Half-Earth is a transformative work that reverberates with an urgency like few other books. ungekürzt. Language: English.

American Panda , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 452min
An incisive, laugh-out-loud contemporary debut about a Taiwanese-American teen whose parents want her to be a doctor and marry a Taiwanese Ivy Leaguer despite her squeamishness with germs and crush on a Japanese classmate. At 17, Mei should be in high school, but skipping fourth grade was part of her parents' master plan. Now a freshman at MIT, she is on track to fulfill the rest of this predetermined future: become a doctor, marry a preapproved Taiwanese Ivy Leaguer, produce a litter of babies. With everything her parents have sacrificed to make her cushy life a reality, Mei can't bring herself to tell them the truth - that she (one) hates germs, (two) falls asleep in biology lectures, and (three) has a crush on her classmate Darren Takahashi, who is decidedly not Taiwanese. But when Mei reconnects with her brother, Xing, who is estranged from the family for dating the wrong woman, Mei starts to wonder if all the secrets are truly worth it. Can she find a way to be herself, whoever that is, before her web of lies unravels? From debut author Gloria Chao comes a hilarious, heartfelt tale of how unlike the panda, life isn't always so black and white. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Emily Woo Zeller.

Dr. Buteyko Lecture at Moscow State University in 1969: Buteyko Method, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 264min
This lecture took place in the largest auditorium of the Moscow State University (named after M. V. Lomonosov). This special event was organized for the staff of the university. It was likely the classified nature of Buteyko’s research during the 1960s (for first Soviet spaceship missions or Soviet Cosmos) and exclusiveness of his discoveries that predetermined the organization of this lecture.Hence, it was definitely a very large and significant event for the scientific staff of the Moscow State University, the most famous and prestigious university of the USSR. Try to imagine: the leading scientists, professors, academicians, and directors of numerous institutes of the most famous Soviet university are gathered together to hear news about space program discoveries that have benefited medicine. The lecture does not describe Buteyko breathing exercises (or Buteyko reduced or shallow breathing). However, it focuses in great detail on healthy lifestyle factors and lifestyle risk factors, as well as situational details of work of Dr. Buteyko and his medical colleagues with the severely sick patients, as one can see from the content of this book. The book quotes the term "yoga" more than 20 times.In order to have a better understanding of what Dr. Buteyko said during this lecture, the audiobook includes numerous comments and explanations provided by Dr. Artour Rakhimov. These comments include clinical studies that support Dr. Buteyko's ideas. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Callan.

The Meaning of the Cross , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 593min
This audiobook reveals the meaning of the most momentous act in human history - the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. This epoch event was predetermined by God from before the beginning of time to accomplish His eternal purpose. Although there is no truth of greater importance to God's people than the meaning of Christ's death on the cross, it is astonishing that there is no truth of which there is greater ignorance among professing Christians. Although they know they are saved by faith, very few Christians know how to live by faith. Consequently, they trust Jesus as Savior and hope one day to go to heaven but, in between, they struggle vainly to live in this sin-sick world by the best of their ability and often mistake their self-effort for faith. This is not only tragic, it is alarming because God's people can be ignorant about a lot of things, but if they are ignorant about the cross, they are in real trouble. The author clearly explains the glorious mystery of the cross, which is the key to understanding the whole gospel. Salvation is only the beginning and not the end of God's purpose for His people, for the cross of Christ is the door that leads to eternal union and intimate friendship with God. ungekürzt.

Hijacking Happiness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 76min
Hijacking definition: 1) to unlawfully seize a vehicle in transit and force it to go to a different destination or use it for one's own purposes 2) steal goods by seizing then in transit 3) take over something and use it for different purposes.Happiness definition: 1) a state of well-being, contentment or joy 2) a pleasurable or satisfying experience 3) the "pursuit of happiness" is something this country is based on, but different people feel happiness for different reasons.Have you ever taken off on a journey - any kind of journey - and not ended up where you expected? I think this happens to most of us much of the time, just not necessarily on an airplane going to a predetermined place.We often think of hijacking in today’s world as a violent act, taking a group to a destination they did not choose or sign up for. I am tweaking that definition. My hijacking is of a gentler nature. My vision is to board the vehicle of happiness (whatever that may be for you) and gently guide it to where you want to go.Don’t let it take off and leave you behind or get onto one of the lesser aircrafts of discouragement or frustration. There is enough happiness to go around and room for everyone to be on board or have their own seat. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Teresa Meyerhoeffer Christensen.

The Existentialist's Survival Guide: How to Live Authentically in an Inauthentic Age , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 362min
Existentialism offers enduring lessons and insight on how to understand ourselves and improve our lives. Your existence is not the result of a predetermined set of events; it’s the direct result of your thinking and your actions, and therefore, according to Soren Kierkegaard, Frederick Nietzsche, Albert Camus, and other existentialist philosophers, you have the freedom to control the outcome of your existence - sophisticated "philosophy meets psychology" self-help for the 21st century. As Kierkegaard and his ilk made clear in their respective works, human beings are moody creatures. Rather than understanding moods such as anxiety and depression as afflictions that can be treated only with a pill, the existentialists regard these troublesome feelings as instructive, something revealing about what it means to be human. The existentialists believed that how we negotiate our emotional ups and downs plays an important hand in the lives we sculpt for ourselves. While offering listeners a useful primer on existentialism as an animating body of thought, Marino distills and delivers the life-altering and, in some cases, life-saving insights Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Camus, and other existentialists articulate for becoming more emotionally attuned human beings. Enhancing our sense of meaning in the midst of an uncertain world, Marino interjects gripping anecdotes from his own experiences to demonstrate how we can use existentialist thought to ignite truly transformative experiences. ungekürzt.

Swing Trading Strategies: A Beginners Guide to Swing Trading , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 31min
The process of swing trading has become a very popular stock trading strategy used by many traders across the market. This style of trading has proven to be very successful for many committed stocks and Forex traders. Traditionally, swing trading has been defined as a more speculative strategy, as the positions are traditionally bought and held for the traders predetermined time frame. These time frames could range anywhere from two days to a few months. The goal of the swing trader is to identify the trend either up or down and place their trades in the most advantageous position. From there, the trader will ride the trend to what they determine as the exhaustion point and sell for a profit. Often times, swing traders will utilize many different technical indicators that will allow them to have a more advantageous probability when making their trades. Shorter-term traders do not necessarily tend to swing trade, as they prefer holding positions throughout the day and exercising them prior to the close of the market. Swing trading strategy utilizes time, and it is this time that is the deterrent factor for many day traders. Often times, there is too much risk involved with the close of the market, and a trader will not be willing to accept this risk. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: William Berkshire, III.
