  Sports from Hell: My Search for the World's Dumbest Competition , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 412min

  The most popular sports columnist in America puts his life (and dignity) on the line in search of the most absurd sporting event on the planet.What is the stupidest sport in the world? Not content to pontificate from the sidelines, Rick Reilly set out on a global journeywith stops in Australia, New Zealand, Finland, Denmark, England, and even a maximum security prison at Angola, Louisiana, to discover the answer to this enduring question.From the physically and mentally taxing sport of chess boxing to the psychological battlefield that is the rock-paper-scissors championship, to the underground world of illegal jart throwing, to several competitions that involve nudity, Reilly, in his valiant quest, subjected himself to both bodily danger and abject humiliation (or, in the case of ferret legging, both).These fringe sports offer their participants a chance to earn a few bucks and achieve the eternal glory that is winning - even when the victory in question might strike some as pointless, like the ability to sit in an oven-hot sauna for the longest time. It's debatable whether these sports push the body or just human idiocy to the outermost limits, but one thing is for sure: Sports in Hell is laugh-out-loud hilarious and will deliver plenty of unabashed fun. ungekürzt.

  Madness: The Man Who Changed Basketball , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 302min

  Finalist, Sports - 2019 International Book Awards  Madness is the intriguing story of Hank Luisetti, the predawn of March Madness and how modern basketball was born.   The majority of searches say Michael Jordan is the best basketball player of all time, but many others oppose this. While Jordan’s rank is debatable, a respectable dream team would include Kevin Durant, Bill Russell, Hakeem Olajuwon, Dr. J, Tim Duncan, Jerry West, Kobe Bryant, Wilt Chamberlain, Larry Bird, Shaquille O'Neal, LeBron James, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Stephen Curry, Michael Jordan, and Hank Luisetti.   Chances are, you've never heard of Hank Luisetti. But this wouldn’t be a legitimate discussion without the Hall of Fame legend whose celebrity caused a basketball revolution.   James Naismith invented basketball in 1891; Hank Luisetti reinvented it in 1936. Hank changed basketball’s genetic footprint when he popularized the one-handed shot. He could jump so high and stay up so long, he seemed to defy gravity.  Was Luisetti better than Jordan? That’s impossible to say because they played in different eras. But Hank Luisetti was basketball’s first superstar and what he did for the game is unprecedented.   This historical fiction novel is based on the basketball achievements of Hank Luisetti. Some actual events, aspects, and characters have been fictionalized. Get the audiobook now! Visit the author's website: www.booksbymikedelucia.com ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Narcissistic Aspies and Schizoids: How to Tell If the Narcissist In Your Life Has Aspergers Syndrome or Schizoid Personality Disorder , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 20min

  In many of my books, we discuss the different tools that are in use by a narcissist who is being a nuisance to those around him. He uses threats, coercion, gas-lighting, manipulation, lying, cheating, triangulation and cognitive dissonance to prey on his victims. He forms trauma bonds with those who he is the closest to so that he always has an unlimited narcissistic supply from other people. He has to constantly feed his needs and his ego from external sources, because he is empty inside his soul from being a victim of another narcissistic injurer. What many people don't realize is that narcissistic personality disorder or traits of narcissism can occur in a person who has other personality disorders. Narcissism and other personality disorders are often caused by poor parenting (abuse, intrusiveness or neglect), poor experiences growing up, or other trauma in childhood or early adulthood. Because many of the personality disorders have elements of narcissism in them, it is debatable whether it does or does not belong by itself in the DSM diagnostic tool. This book seeks to point out the traits that might be seen in a narcissistic and self-absorbed individual who may have Schizoid Personality Disorder or Asperger's Syndrome. These individuals might resort to adapting OCPD (negative perfectionism) traits or narcissistic traits in order to overcome some of the disabilities of their underlying problem. ungekürzt.

  Candide (illustrated) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 182min

  Voltaire's Candide can only be described as a satirical novella that was intended to attack the optimistic and backwards way of thinking that was common during the 18th century. Filled with absurd and darkly humorous content, the short work is a highly debatable and thought-provoking piece. The story centers around Candide, the nephew of a baron, who's teacher, Pangloss, teaches Candide that the world is the way it should be and that everything in it is good. Candide is kicked out of the castle, forced into the armed service, flogged, nearly killed, and eventually finds himself stranded on an island. Throughout all of the hardship he endures, Candide tries to keep a positive and optimistic viewpoint as taught to him by his teacher. He eventually meets Pangloss, again, and is surprised to find that Pangloss is diseased and on the verge of dying. Despite the illness, Pangloss still insists that his disease is necessary and reasons that the ship, which brought him the illness, also brought chocolate; and therefore, his suffering is of no great consequence. Candide eventually comes to the conclusion that perhaps the world is only what you make of it, and not inherently perfect or good. Although the story is filled with hardship and surprising bad luck, the overall style is exaggerated and humorous. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alastair Cameron.

  Philosophers: Classical and Modern Critical Thinkers with Steady Morals , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 200min

  In this audiobook on philosophers, several fascinating thinkers will be covered. Their inspiring and debatable thoughts will give you new insights in life and death and in ethics and morals.First, the political philosophers John Locke will be explored. Mr. Locke was the libertarian who said something when things appeared to go in the wrong direction. Some considered him to be an idealist, but his assessments of the government, the concept of property, and that of human rights have been the proponents of liberty and have inspired many to take action.After this critical thinker, we will focus on Immanuel Kant, one of the most famous philosophers from Germany. Originally from Prussia, Kant explains to us why human reasoning on metaphysics, ethics, and intelligence is superior, and how his method called “criticism” has revolutionized the way people look at philosophy.Next in line is Plato, Aristotle’s student from ancient Greece. Being one of the founders of classical philosophy, he discusses about epistemology, education, democracy, and metaphysics.In the last part of the book, we take a look at Jean-Paul Sartre, a well-known philosopher from the 20th century, who is seen as the embodiment of existentialism. After the Second World War, his intellectual knowledge set the tone for the irony and atmosphere of the culture.When you study these men’s ideas and thoughts, you will get a sense of the logical and intuitive possibilities of the human brain, and its capacity to rationalize concepts and analyze life. ungekürzt.

  Ragnar Lothbrok: The Legendary Viking King! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 21min

  Ragnar Lothbrok is a story of a mighty Viking warrior from the Early Middle Ages. There is no doubt that Ragnar Lothbrok was a legendary Norse hero whose name is often mentioned in the several Old Norse poems and Icelandic sagas. Many historians have debated the very existence of Ragnar Lothbrok. Ragnar Lothbrok was a renowned chief of the Norsemen during the Viking Age, but some historians tend to credit him for the deed of other historical characters of his time, including King Reginfrid, King Horik I, Rognvald, and Reginherus, a Viking who attacked Paris in the middle of the ninth century. The exactness of the Norse poems and sagas remains highly debatable even to the extent of debating the existence or non-existence of Ragnar Lothbrok. The reason is that all the accounts are based on the tales and deeds of the former Norse rulers and kings of the early Middle Ages. Thus, the Norse traditional stories played a very important role in incepting some of the legendary characters, including Lothbrok himself. Nonetheless, as per the popular version, Ragnar is renowned for being a scourge on both early medieval France and England, raiding many times the Anglian kingdoms of Northumbria and Wessex along with the Kingdom of West Francia, ending with the siege of Paris in 845. This book presents a larger than life legend and I am sure after you finish this book, you will want to know more about Ragnar Lothbrok and explore the poetry that tells his beautiful story. ungekürzt.

  Believing , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 20min

  Sandra Brown revisits two pivotal Christmases from her own past in this heartfelt and intimate essay. One needn't be familiar with Brown's previous works to be deeply moved by this personal reflection on the meaning of family, faith, celebration, and generosity, but fans will find it a unique and special insight into the New York Times best-selling author's life and values. "If I were to open my Christmas memory box and peer inside, two would stand out from the rest. One would be the Christmas of my sixth year. Perhaps this is the first Christmas of memory and that's why it distinguishes itself in my recollections. The other would be a Christmas much more recent. Only one of these Christmases was happy, as the dictionary defines the word. But in the other, I found a unique joy. These two holidays were celebrated in different locations, with different family members. One was observed through the eyes of a child while the other was experienced from the perspective of an adult. These Christmases were separated by decades. They actually had nothing in common except the date on the calendar and, for me, the debatable existence of Santa Claus...." —Sandra Brown (an excerpt from Believing) This essay is based on musings originally published in Ladies Home Journal. Twenty years later, Sandra Brown revisits these powerful memories, creating the moving essay heard here, which she delivers in her charmingly Southern voice, as warm and comforting as a mug of cocoa in view of the Christmas tree. ungekürzt.

  Racism: A Bitter Reality: Know Different Types of Racism, Impacts of Cynical Mindset on Racism and Increase of Racism in Multicultural Society , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 601min

  Racism is the concept of one race being superior to another. It may also include prejudice, animosity, or antagonism due to race or ethnicity to others. Modern variants of racism also rely on social perceptions of biological differences among peoples. The word "racialization" is used to describe how the history of the "race" definition still influences us all, albeit differently. The theory describes processes of politics and organization that are often unconscious at work. It also illustrates the social construction of racial categories, such as income, but very real in social and cultural terms. Since the 19th century, racism and intolerance have been debatable topics, but as globalization and advanced technology have taken over the world, this subject needs to be discussed further. With the passage of time, there is a gradual increase throughout the world due to various factors, instead of eradicating racism and intolerance. Racism and intolerance are constantly increasing, causing health and mental issues for the victims and their surroundings. Nearly every second person has mental health problems that lead to cynicism. Cynicism is an extreme mental health disorder that leads to the death of a person. Racism, like an infectious virus, has spread throughout the world. Because of the difference in color, race, age, gender or culture, we can see many people facing racism and unfair treatment in different places. We live in a multicultural society where a mixture of all cultures and customs can be experienced. In such a multicultural world, racism prevails. You will hear in this book about the basic concept of racism and how it has evolved in a multicultural society. In this book you will learn: Racism and its types Racism and Migrants Racism and Employment Whiteness and it’s privilege Origin of cynicism Cynicism is a destruction to society Cause of intolerance and ways to ungekürzt.
