    Pretty Little Dirty , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 885min
    In this dazzling debut, Amanda Boyden delivers a compulsively readable novel of girlhood friendship. Set in 1978 Kansas City and then swirling through California in the early 80s, the story of Lisa and Celeste tells of two girls who are more than just inseparable - they can barely tell where one ends and the other begins. Celeste's life seems just about perfect: she's beautiful, has a gigantic house, two older sisters to coach her through middle school, and loving parents - the stern but secretly soft Mrs. Diamond and the lively, bombastic Mr. Diamond. As Lisa's own house has long been a place devoid of joyful noise - her mother has been shut in her bedroom wearing her nightgown for years - Lisa joins the Diamond household, slipping into their routine of Sunday night dinners, wearing Celeste's clothing, and soaking in the normalcy of the Diamond life. What starts off as a sweet coming-of-age story - mastering jazz dance high kicks, the perfect baby oil basting for a suntan, and the fine art of making filet mignon for Celeste's larger-than-life father - soon swirls into an intoxicating novel of art, experimentation, music, and self-destructive impulses. As the girls outgrow their suburban life, chafing at their curfews, discovering sex, beer, and pot, they fall deeper and deeper in love with a new wild freedom. They dare each other onwards, adventuring into the realm of concerts, cocaine, and the San Francisco punk scene. This is the story of their shared fall from grace. Gorgeous, sexy, and exuberant, in this completely addictive debut, Amanda Boyden brings us into the world of a friendship so tightly knit that where one girl leads, the other can't help but follow. ungekürzt.

    Catching Lucy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 170min
    From USA Today best-selling author Terri Anne Browning's The Rocker comes a new adult series, The Lucy & Harris Novella Series. Lucy So yeah, my dad is a rock star; he's the drummer for Demon's Wings. Big whoop. Honestly, the fame that comes with having a famous dad is not all that you think it might be. It sucks. You have no privacy. Oh yeah, and don't let me forget about the lunatics that want to do who-knows-what to you just to get famous. When I leave the house every morning I feel like my life isn't my own. Between the paparazzi, the fans, my bodyguard, and everything else, I feel like I'm part of the freak show in the circus most days. It wasn't always like this, though. I didn't always feel like this. Once upon a time I had a best friend who helped me deal with this life that we both belonged to. Harris So yeah, my dad is a rock star; he's the drummer for OtherWorld. And Lucy was and always will be the only girl to ever know the real me. She was my best friend, my voice of reason. My sanity. Maybe she outgrew me. But I will never outgrow her. It's been years since I've seen her, and I miss her so damn bad. All I want is a chance to get back what we've lost, to have my best friend in my life again. I wasn't counting on how grown-up my friend might have gotten, how beautiful she is now. The more time I spend with this new Lucy, I have to wonder if I really want that old friendship back...or if I want much, much more. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    What Matters Now: How to Win in a World of Relentless Change, Ferocious Competition, and Unstoppable Innovation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 478min
    This is not a book about one thing. It's not a 300-page dissertation on leadership, teams, or motivation. Instead, it's a multi-faceted agendafor building organizations that can win in world of relentless change, ferocious competition, and unstoppable innovation. (From the Preface) What Matters Now is Gary Hamel's impassioned plea to rethink the fundamental assumptions we have about management, the meaning of work, and organizational life. He asks, "What are the fundamental, make-or-break issues that will determine whether your organization thrives or dives in the years ahead?" The answer is found in five paramount issues: values, innovation, adaptability, passion, and ideology. Values: With trust in large organizations at an all time low, there is an urgent need to rebuild the ethical foundations of capitalism. What's required is nothing less than a moral renaissance in business. Innovation: Innovation is the only defense against margin-crushing competition, and the only way to outgrow a dismal economy. In too many companies, innovation is still a buzzword, rather than the responsibility of every single individual. This must change. Adaptability: In a world of accelerating change, every company must build an evolutionary advantage. The forces of inertia must be vanquished. The ultimate prize: an organization that is as nimble as change itself. Passion: In business as in life, the difference between "insipid" and "inspired" is passion. With mediocrity fast becoming a competitive liability, success depends on finding new ways to rouse the human spirit at work. Ideology: Today, businesses need more than better practices; they need better principles. Bureaucracy and control have had their day. It's time for a new ideology based on freedom and self-determination. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gary Hamel.

Severe and prolonged stress may lead to chronic mental and physical conditions, but it can be managed and even mastered - permanently, without reliance on things like prescription drugs or excess alcohol.

Fit for Business will show you how to deal with stress, quickly outgrow your problems and be able to play a much bigger game at work without ever again risking the one thing you don't want to live without - your health. What's the solution? This book will show you how to deal with stress at work in healthy ways, as well as how to channel it into a powerful and positive force for good in your life. It contains some simple but very powerful principles that you may well not have come across before now. In desperation, the author researched the problem for many years and finally found the answers he was looking for. This is the success formula shared in Fit for Business: How to Deal with Stress & Create a Healthy Work Life Balance. What's the bigger vision? For too long, chronic stress, depression and anxiety at work have been taboo subjects that people feel loathe to talk about and where the help that is available usually focuses on attempting a quick fix, rather than long lasting prevention and a good work life balance. This is the mission and purpose of Fit for Business. Andrew Bridgewater is a UK chartered psychologist who has learned a great deal about how to deal with stress from personal experience as well as professional practice.

    The Path through the Trees: Beyond the World of Pooh, Part 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 646min
    “In my first book, The Enchanted Places,” Christopher Milne writes in his preface, “I was writing about my childhood, saying what I needed to say about Pooh and Christopher Robin. The present book is in a way a sequel, starting where the other left off. But, rather more than that, it is a complement, it is about the non-Pooh part of my life. It is an escape from Christopher Robin.” Everyone who grows up within a family experiences the need to outgrow parents and teachers, to make a way of life that is his own, and to create his own circle of friends and family—however large or small. As a young man, Christopher Milne found himself seeking his own path through life against a background of two central experiences. The first was being A. A. Milne’s son—which brought the peculiarly unique problem he describes so poignantly in his first book. The second was the war, in which he served in the Royal Engineers in North Africa and Italy. After the war, following some years of searching in London, Christopher Milne and his wife, Lesley, made their home and their career in Dartmouth, Devon, where they founded the Harbour Bookshop in 1951. The Path Through the Trees is a moving account of a young man’s search for his own identity. It offers a fascinating and affectionate account of a struggling (and later thriving) bookshop, and of the author’s own family life in a small English country town. The path its author chose has not led him to a mountain top but it has taken courage to follow and has clearly brought him happiness. His achievement in this book is to tell the story of this journey simply, vividly, and often humorously. This audiobook is read by Peter Dennis, the actor who brought life to A. A. Milne’s Pooh stories and verses in various other works published by Blackstone Audio. A longtime friend of the Milne family, he made both this recording and The Enchanted Places as a gift for Clare Milne, Christopher Robin Milne’s only child. ungekürzt. Language: English.
