    Summary of 'Smarter Faster Better' by Charles Duhigg | Includes Analysis , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 23min
    Summary of Smarter Faster Better by Charles Duhigg | Includes Analysis Preview: Smarter Faster Better by Charles Duhigg is a scientifically grounded self-help book that describes ways to increase productivity. Duhigg relates stories about ways to encourage individuals to make decisions and assign their own significant meanings to them, demonstrating that making choices and knowing the meaning of those choices stimulates further action and motivation. Analyses of team productivity programs and the functioning of effective teams show that productive teams should be diverse, call on every team member to participate, and create a safe environment for team members. The best way for teams to set goals is to work toward a stretch goal that also meets the five SMART criteria: the stretch goal should be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and based on a set timeline. A set of stretch goals can be achieved with total effort. Those goals should be meaningful and should not distract from the need for new goals when circumstances change, as in a crisis.

    The Promise and Peril of Things (eBook, PDF)
    Our relationship with things abounds with paradoxes. People assign value to objects in ways that are often deeply personal or idiosyncratic yet at the same time rooted in specific cultural and historical contexts. How do things become meaningful? How do our connections with the world of things define us? In Ming and Qing China, inquiry into things and their contradictions flourished, and its depth and complexity belie the notion that material culture simply reflects status anxiety or class conflict.Wai-yee Li traces notions of the pleasures and dangers of things in the literature and thought of late imperial China. She explores how aesthetic claims and political power intersect, probes the objective and subjective dimensions of value, and questions what determines authenticity and aesthetic appeal. Li considers core oppositions-people and things, elegance and vulgarity, real and fake, lost and found-to tease out the ambiguities of material culture. With examples spanning the late sixteenth to the mid-eighteenth centuries, she shows how relations with things can both encode and resist social change, political crisis, and personal loss.The Promise and Peril of Things reconsiders major works such as The Plum in the Golden Vase, The Story of the Stone, Li Yu's writings, and Wu Weiye's poetry and drama, as well as a host of less familiar texts. It offers new insights into Ming and Qing literary and aesthetic sensibilities, as well as the intersections of material culture with literature, intellectual history, and art history.

    Love Like Theirs : The Romance Chronicles, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 448min
    Love Like Theirs is book number four in a new, sweet romance series by number one bestselling author Sophie Love. The series begins with Love Like This.Keira Swanson, 28, has sworn off of love. With her heart still hurting from her breakups with Cristiano and Shane, she will not allow her magazine to use her for another love experiment. Which is fine by them, because they want to send her off on a different kind of trip: to prove that someone suffering from a breakup can avoid a knee-jerk rebound affair and manage not to fall in love. To emphasize the point, they will not assign her a new tour guide. Instead, Keira will take a cruise to the Scandinavian countries and have to navigate herself. Keira is thrilled to accept the assignment. There is nothing she wants more than to be alone, and go to the Northern climes, where she can cool her head, and where surely she will not find love. But Keira does not anticipate the beauty of Copenhagen and of Stockholm (“the Paris of the North”) or the stunning hospitality of the Scandinavians. With Christmas on the way, resisting a new love may be harder than she thinks.... A wholesome romantic comedy that is as profound as it is funny, Love Like Theirs is book number four in a dazzling new romance series that will make you laugh, cry, and will keep you listening until late into the night - and will make you fall in love with romance all over again. ungekürzt.

    Kyla: The Highland Clan, Book 9 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 453min
    Listen to the next in the family saga of the historical Scottish Grant and Ramsay clans. She convinces her brother's best friend to help her stop a war. But will they provoke one instead? Kyla Grant once believed her sire, the legendary Alexander Grant, was invincible, but his brush with death changed her mind. The whole clan is still reeling from Alex's battle injury when a new threat arises from their long-time rivals, the Buchan clan. Kyla, convinced that the Grants cannot take another battle, is desperate for a peaceful resolution. Her plan is to make a personal appeal to the Buchan's only living child, Davina, but she knows her parents would never allow her to risk her safety.... Finlay MacNicol is always quick with a joke, but life has never given him less to laugh about. His mother is dying, and yet another battle is on the horizon. When his laird assembles a group of warriors for a scouting mission to the Buchans, Finlay does his duty and joins them. He thought he knew what to expect from the mission, but he certainly didn't expect that Kyla would sneak along, or that his laird would assign him as her protector. Kyla's beauty has always affected Finlay, but her bravery and sweetness soon stir deeper feelings. After visiting Davina, Kyla becomes determined to rescue the lass from the clutches of her abusive sire. Finlay agrees to help her, but there's a risk they may provoke a war rather than prevent one. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Paul Woodson.

    One Bullet Away: The Making of Marine Officer, Hörbuch, Digital, 365min
    A former captain in the Marines' First Recon Battalion, who fought in Afghanistan and Iraq, reveals how the Corps trains its elite and offers a point-blank account of twenty-first-century battle. If the Marines are "the few, the proud", Recon Marines are the fewest and the proudest. Only one Marine in a hundred qualifies for Recon, charged with working clandestinely, often behind enemy lines. Fick's training begins with a hellish summer at Quantico, after his junior year at Dartmouth, and advances to the pinnacle, Recon, four years later, on the eve of war with Iraq. Along the way, he learns to shoot a man a mile away, stays awake for 72 hours straight, endures interrogation and torture at the secretive SERE course, learns to swim with Navy SEALs, masters the Eleven Principles of Leadership, and much more. His vast skill set puts him in front of the front lines, leading 22 Marines into the deadliest conflict since Vietnam. He vows he will bring all his men home safely, and to do so he'll need more than his top-flight education. He'll need luck and an increasingly clear vision of the limitations of his superiors and the missions they assign him. Fick unveils the process that makes Marine officers such legendary leaders and shares his hard-won insights into the differences between the military ideals he learned and military practice, which can mock those ideals. One Bullet Away never shrinks from blunt truths, but it is an ultimately inspiring account of mastering the art of war. Language: English. Narrator: Nathaniel Fick.

This powerful and easily accessible book will hold your hand through the dark tunnel of your creative path and show you the way out.
