Minimalism has long been advocated by many spiritual teachers throughout the ages. However, the idea that "less is more" has now hit the 21st century.Human lives have become heavily weighed down by the trappings of corporatism and capitalism. Shiny and bright objects surround us on a daily basis, and it can be hard to stop trying to "keep up with the Jones".In reality, what is often the case is that the more we own can actually own us. We become restricted on all levels, financially chained by debt, and physically our movement is restricted because we cannot just up and leave when we like.We are surrounded by clutter which can often mirror our internal worlds emotionally, and perhaps spiritually we need to let go of our materialistic mindsets in order to evolve to something greater.The conscious minimalist cares about the future of our planet, and understands that treading gently on the Earth benefits all parties involved. This audiobook will show you the following: The many benefits of living a minimalistic lifeHow living a minimalistic life can help you find happiness and financial successPractical ways to apply minimalism to your thinkingStoicism an example of a minimalistic mindsetHow to incorporate minimalism into family lifeIf this sounds like you and you want to move forward in your life, free from clutter to focus on your own path striving to become the best version of you, then just click the "buy" button above. ungekürzt.

Intellectuals and Society , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 682min

This is a study of how intellectuals as a class affect modern societies by shaping the climate of opinion in which official policies develop, on issues ranging from economics to law to war and peace. The thesis of Intellectuals and Society is that the influence of intellectuals is not only greater than in previous eras but also takes a very different form from that envisioned by those like Machiavelli and others who have wanted to directly influence rulers. It has not been by shaping the opinions or directing the actions of the holders of power that modern intellectuals have most influenced the course of events, but by shaping public opinion in ways that affect the actions of power holders in democratic societies, whether or not those power holders accept the general vision or the particular policies favored by intellectuals. Even government leaders with disdain or contempt for intellectuals have had to bend to the climate of opinion shaped by those intellectuals. Intellectuals and Society not only examines the track record of intellectuals in the things they have advocated but also analyzes the incentives and constraints under which their views and visions have emerged. One of the most surprising aspects of this study is how often intellectuals have been proved not only wrong, but grossly and disastrously wrong in their prescriptions for the ills of society-- and how little their views have changed in response to empirical evidence of the disasters entailed by those views. ungekürzt.

A Feathered River Across the Sky: The Passenger Pigeon's Flight to Extinction , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 677min

In the early 19th century passenger pigeons accounted for 25 to 40 percent of North America’s birds, traveling in flocks so massive as to block out the sun for hours. Although adults weighed only twelve ounces, they nested and roosted in the millions, destroying large oaks as if hit by hurricanes. Their favorite foods were the seeds and nuts of beech, chestnuts, and other forest trees, but they also raided farmers’ buckwheat, wheat, corn, and rye crops. John James Audubon, remarking on their speed and agility in flight, said a lone passenger pigeon streaking through the forest “passes like a thought.” The observation was prophetic, for although a billion pigeons streamed over Toronto in May of 1860, a mere forty years later passenger pigeons were almost extinct. Martha, the last of the species, died in captivity at the Cincinnati Zoo on September 1, 1914. Their congregation in large numbers made it easy to kill them en masse, and the expansion of railroads and telegraph lines facilitated large hunting parties that supplied pigeons by the thousands to help feed people in growing cities. Audubon, novelist Gene Stratton-Porter, and James Fenimore Cooper were among those who advocated saving the passenger pigeon, but it was too late. Naturalist Joel Greenberg’s beautifully written story of the passenger pigeon provides a cautionary tale that no matter how abundant a resource is - animals, water or oil - it can be wiped out if we are not careful. ungekürzt.

Baseline Selling: How to Become a Sales Superstar by Using What You Already Know About the Game of Baseball , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 361min

Baseline Selling: How to Become a Sales Superstar by Using What You Already Know About the Game of Baseball will dramatically change the way we approach the sales process, replacing the gratuitous complexity advocated by today's sales "experts" with an elegant and very effective simplicity. Studies have shown that the selling techniques of the last two decades have had very little impact on most of the sales population. Why? Because of the complexity, learning curve and difficulty in applying the concepts in these systems. In response to the urgent need for a flexible, innovative process that will enable people to grasp the essential skills necessary to close a sale in any situation, Baseline Selling reemphasizes the fundamentals of selling in a fresh, memorable way that modern sales professionals can relate to and utilize, and above all, one that complements and enriches advanced sales methodologies. Salespeople who listen to this book and put its wisdom to work will succeed in acquiring more opportunities as they learn to get appointments more easily. They will excel at creating opportunities with prospects who are "not interested". They'll sell at higher margins by using the "Rule of Ratios". Their closing percentages will improve dramatically as they implement the simple "Inoffensive Close". Salespeople selling commodities, struggling to differentiate themselves, will love "Commodity Busters" and every salesperson will be able to shorten their sell cycle by "Taking a Lead". Quite simply, Baseline Selling introduces a way for salespeople to visualize and touch all the "sales bases" without over-complicating the process. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Hitler's American Friends: The Third Reich's Supporters in the United States , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 675min

Hitler's American Friends, by Bradley W. Hart, is an audiobook examining the strange terrain of Nazi sympathizers, nonintervention campaigners, and other voices in America who advocated on behalf of Nazi Germany in the years before World War II. Americans who remember World War II reminisce about how it brought the country together. The less-popular truth behind this warm nostalgia: Until the attack on Pearl Harbor, America was deeply, dangerously divided. Bradley W. Hart's Hitler's American Friends exposes the homegrown antagonists who sought to protect and promote Hitler, leave Europeans (and especially European Jews) to fend for themselves, and elevate the Nazi regime. Some of these friends were Americans of German heritage who joined the Bund, whose leadership dreamed of installing a stateside Führer. Some were as bizarre and hair-raising as the Silver Shirt Legion, run by an eccentric who claimed Hitler fulfilled a religious prophesy. Some were Midwestern Catholics like Father Charles Coughlin, an early right-wing radio star who broadcast anti-Semitic tirades. They were even members of Congress who used their franking privilege - sending mail at cost to American taxpayers - to distribute German propaganda. And celebrity pilot Charles Lindbergh ended up speaking for them all at the America First Committee. We try to tell ourselves it couldn't happen here, but Americans are not immune to the lure of fascism. Hitler's American Friends is a powerful look at how the forces of evil manipulate ordinary people, how we stepped back from the ledge, and the disturbing ease with which we could return to it. ungekürzt.

Poetry of Margaret Fuller , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 11min

Sarah Margaret Fuller Ossoli (May 23, 1810-July 19, 1850), commonly known as Margaret Fuller, was an American journalist, critic, and women's rights advocate associated with the American transcendentalism movement. Margaret Fuller enjoyed and wrote many pieces of poetry styled after the work of Ralph Waldo Emerson. She was the first full-time American female book reviewer in journalism. Fuller was an advocate of women's rights and in particular, women's education and the right to employment. She also encouraged many other reforms in society, including prison reform and the emancipation of slaves in the US. Many other advocates for women's rights and feminism, including Susan B. Anthony, cite Fuller as a source of inspiration. Fuller was an early proponent of feminism and especially believed in providing education to women. Once equal educational rights were afforded women, she believed, women could push for equal political rights as well. She advocated that women seek any employment they wish, rather than catering to the stereotypical "feminine" roles of the time, such as teaching. She once said, "If you ask me what office women should fill, I reply - any...let them be sea captains if you will. I do not doubt that there are women well fitted for such an office". She had great confidence in all women but doubted that a woman would produce a lasting work of art or literature in her time and disliked the popular female poets of her time. Fuller also warned women to be careful about marriage and not to become dependent on their husbands. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Norma Jean Gradsky.

Latin American Revolutionaries: The Life and Legacy of Fidel Castro , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 91min

Includes some of Fidel's quotes about Cuba, the revolution, and America. Includes a bibliography of books about Castro and written by him. "Men do not shape destiny. Destiny produces the man for the hour." (Fidel Castro, 1959) Fidel Castro is one of the most influential and controversial men of the last 50 years, equally revered and reviled by people across the globe. To the West Castro has long been one of the prominent faces of Communism and the main reason Cuba has been ostracized by many liberal democracies, particularly the United States. On the other hand, Castro has been admired by those who despised capitalism, and despite the fact the political platform Castro advocated has been almost universally repudiated and maintains only a weak hold even in Cuba, Castro's Marxist-leaning writings and speeches have influenced other leaders across the globe, from Hugo Chavez to Nelson Mandela. Although his health has been poor for several years, and rumors relentlessly abound about his imminent demise, Castro continues to be the face of Cuba for better and worse. But while everybody is at least partially familiar with his leadership of the Cuban Revolution and Cuba itself, far fewer are familiar with Castro's past and the vision he had for himself. Latin American Revolutionaries: The Life and Legacy of Fidel Castro chronicles the life, work, and revolutions Castro was involved in while analyzing the controversies and legacy he left in his wake. You will learn about Fidel like you never have before, in no time at all. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Colin Fluxman.

Intermittent Fasting and Feasting: Use Periods of Undereating and Overfeeding to Burn Fat, Build Muscle, and Activate Your Most Anabolic Hormones , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 201min

Are you struggling with weight loss? Do you have some sort of an illness, such as diabetes, MS or, even worse, obesity? Can you say that you have as much energy as you'd like? Do you want to build muscle easily? Whatever your condition may be, you will definitely benefit from listening to this book. Intermittent fasting has been practiced ever since Ancient Greece and is advocated by almost all religions of the world. It's the body's inner healing mechanism and the secret of longevity. This book teaches you everything you need to know about fasting and eating for health. It also includes everything you need to know about this ancient practice and how to start doing it easily. Our early ancestors followed the eating patterns of feasting and fasting. All of their meals were uncertain and happened randomly. This made them stronger than ever before and turned them into apex predators of their environment. Unfortunately, this is something that we don't see in the modern world anymore. If you look at the condition in which the majority of the population is in, then you can definitely see the necessity of some fat burning. Intermittent fasting coupled with feasting unleashes the most powerful anabolic hormones inside our bodies. It triggers some of our genetic mechanisms that make us build muscle and burn fat simultaneously - the seemingly impossible. Most importantly, it will make you hungry for life and unleashes your killer instinct. To get in touch with your inner predator and warrior, then you should definitely listen to this book. ungekürzt.

Haifa Republic

A provocative argument for a new way of seeing Israel, Zionism, and the two-state solution.Haifa Republic: A Democratic Future for Israel is an urgent wake-up call. The philosopher Omri Boehm argues that it is long past time to recognize that there will not be a two-state solution to the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian people. After fifty years, Israel s occupation of the West Bank constitutes annexation in all but name, even as the legitimate claims of the Arab population, soon to be a national majority, remain unaddressed. Meanwhile, daily life goes on under conditions rightly likened to apartheid. For liberals in Israel and America to continue to place their hopes in a two-state solution is a form of willful and culpable blindness, especially now that Israeli leaders across the political spectrum have begun to speak of ethnic cleansing. A catastrophe is in the making.But Haifa Republic also offers grounds for hope. Catastrophe can be averted, Boehm contends, by reconfiguring Israel as a single binational state in which Palestinians and Jews both possess human rights and equal citizenship. The original Zionists Theodor Herzl, Ze ev Jabotinsky, and, early in his career, David Ben-Gurion all advocated such a federation, and as prime minister, Menachem Begin successfully submitted a kindred plan to the Knesset. A binational federation offers a last chance for the two peoples who call Palestine home to live in peace and mutual respect and to have a truly democratic future in common.
