Title: Brain-Powered Weight Loss: The 11-Step Behavior-Based Plan That Ends Overeating and Leads to Dropping Unwanted Pounds for Good

Author: Debora Yost, Eliza Kingsford

Narrator: Eliza Kingsford

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:17:00

Language: English

Release date: 01-03-17

Publisher: Random House (Audio)

Genres: Self Development, Health & Wellness, Diet & Nutrition

Summary:

Losing weight and successfully maintaining it over the long term is not as much about what you put in your stomach; it’s more about what’s happening in the brain. In Brain-Powered Weight Loss,psychotherapist and weight management expert Eliza Kingsford shows that more than 90 percent of people who go on diet programs (even healthy ones) fail or eventually regain because they have a dysfunctional relationship with food. Changing this relationship by changing the way you think about and behave around food is what it takes to permanently achieve weight-loss success. Kingsford’s 11-step first-of-its-kind program enlists dozens of mind-altering and behavior-changing exercises and techniques that shows you how to:

· Identify and reverse the conscious and unconscious thinking errors and food triggers that lead to the behaviors that drive our food decisions.

· Let go of the mindset of going on or off a diet in favor of a conscious quest to pursue a lifestyle of healthy eating and everyday activity ― one that can last forever. 

· Successfully use what Kingsford calls “dealing skills” to outsmart high-risk situations, tame stressful times, and prevent an eating “slip” from leading to a setback or all-out binge.

· Find out if you have what emerging research shows is an addiction to certain high-fat and sugar-added, processed foods that can be as powerful as addiction to cigarettes and narcotics.

· Design a personal healthy eating program built on Kingsford’s 10 Principles of Healthy Eating.

Summary:

“A straightforward presentation that promotes values of conduct most of us would be proud to share.”--Kirkus Reviews

“A myth-destroying book that will make you rethink both the theory and practice of leadership.” --Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive and To Sell Is Human

Pinpointing leaders is not an easy task. All managers know that within their organization there are certain key employees who are “sparks”—those rare individuals who have a natural drive not only to get the job done, but to go far beyond what is called for. These special employees truly get more accomplished in a day than others can in a week or more. These “sparks” are the unique and essential people in your workplace who can help transform your company in all sorts of magical ways. And it’s your job to find them, empower them, and enable them to become the true leaders they are destined to be.

Based on hard-earned insights and case studies gleaned from their military experience as well as corporate leadership training, Angie Morgan (U.S. Marine Corps), Courtney Lynch (U.S. Marine Corps), and Sean Lynch (U.S. Air Force) reveal how you can pinpoint the sparks within your ranks, and how you can unleash them to take your company to the next level.

This book is the product of the Gallup World Poll’s massive multiyear research study. As part of this groundbreaking project, Gallup conducted tens of thousands of interviews with residents of more than 35 nations that are predominantly Muslim or have significant Muslim populations.Gallup posed questions that are on the minds of millions: Is Islam to blame for terrorism? Why is there so much anti-Americanism in the Muslim world? Who are the extremists? Where are the moderates? What do Muslim women really want?Grounded in Gallup World Poll data, not in contentious rhetoric, Who Speaks for Islam? brings data-driven evidence — the voices of a billion Muslims, not those of individual “experts” or “extremists” — to one of the most heated and consequential debates of our time.

Title: Growing an Engaged Church: How to Stop 'Doing Church' and Start Being the Church Again

Author: Albert L. Winseman

Narrator: Adam Verner

Format: Unabridged

Length: 04:10:08

Language: English

Release date: 01-03-17

Publisher: Brilliance Audio

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Summary:

What if members of your congregation …

- were 13 times more likely to have invited someone to participate in your church in the past month?

- were three times as satisfied with their lives?

- spent more than two hours per week serving and helping others in their community?

- tripled their giving to your church?

What would your church — your parish — look like? And how would you go about creating this kind of change? One thing is certain: Church leaders are never going to inspire more people to be actively and passionately involved in their congregations by doing the same things over and over again.Pastors and lay leaders need something fresh. Something new. The last thing they need is “just another program” or to set up a laundry list of new activities for members.In this compelling and insightful book, Al Winseman — who has led thriving churches, including one he built from the ground up — explores how churches and parishes can dramatically increase members’ participation, service to the community, giving, and even life satisfaction. But the solutions Winseman offers are not the “magic pill” many leaders have come to expect. Rather, he shows leaders how to reach and inspire the hearts, minds, and imaginations of their people.Based on solid research by Gallup, Growing an Engaged Church will appeal to both Protestant and Catholic clergy and lay leaders who are looking for a way to be the Church instead of just “doing church.”

Title: Fourth Industrial Revolution

Author: Klaus Schwab

Narrator: Nicholas Guy Smith

Format: Unabridged

Length: 05:32:00

Language: English

Release date: 01-03-17

Publisher: Random House (Audio)

Genres: Business & Economics, Business Development

Summary:

World-renowned economist Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, explains that we have an opportunity to shape the fourth industrial revolu­tion, which will fundamentally alter how we live and work.

Schwab argues that this revolution is different in scale, scope and complexity from any that have come before. Characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, the developments are affecting all disciplines, economies, industries and governments, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human.

Artificial intelligence is already all around us, from supercomputers, drones and virtual assistants to 3D printing, DNA sequencing, smart thermostats, wear­able sensors and microchips smaller than a grain of sand. But this is just the beginning: nanomaterials 200 times stronger than steel and a million times thinner than a strand of hair and the first transplant of a 3D printed liver are already in development. Imagine “smart factories” in which global systems of manu­facturing are coordinated virtually, or implantable mobile phones made of biosynthetic materials.

The fourth industrial revolution, says Schwab, is more significant, and its ramifications more profound, than in any prior period of human history.

 

He outlines the key technologies driving this revolution and discusses the major impacts expected on government, business, civil society and individu­als. Schwab also offers bold ideas on how to harness these changes and shape a better future—one in which technology empowers people rather than replaces them; progress serves society rather than disrupts it; and in which innovators respect moral and ethical boundaries rather than cross them. We all have the opportunity to contribute to developing new frame­works that advance progress.

Title: Human Sigma: Managing the Employee-Customer Encounter

Author: Jim Asplund, John H. Fleming, Phd

Narrator: Tom Parks

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:44:27

Language: English

Release date: 01-03-17

Publisher: Brilliance Audio

Genres: Business & Economics, Management & Leadership

Summary:

Six Sigma changed the face of manufacturing quality, creating excellence by reducing variance in finished goods, revolutionizing businesses, and boosting profits. Now, Human Sigma is poised to do the same for sales and service organizations.This book offers an innovative, research-based approach to one of the toughest challenges businesses face today: how to drive success by effectively managing the moments when employees interact with customers. Based on research spanning 10 million employees and 10 million customers around the globe, the Human Sigma approach combines a proven method for assessing the health of the employee-customer encounter with a disciplined process for improving it.Human Sigma is based on five new rules to bring excellence to the way employees engage and interact with customers:RULE #1: E Pluribus Unum. Employee and customer experiences must be managed together — not as separate entities.RULE #2: Feelings Are Facts. Emotions drive and shape the employee-customer encounter.RULE #3: Think Globally, Measure and Act Locally. The employee-customer encounter must be measured and managed at the local level.RULE #4: There Is One Number You Need to Know. Employee and customer engagement interact to drive enhanced financial performance. And this interaction can be quantified and summarized with a single performance metric.RULE #5: If You Pray for Potatoes, You Better Grab a Hoe. This means that good intentions alone do not constitute a plan of action. Sustainable improvement in the employee-customer encounter requires disciplined local action coupled with a companywide commitment to changing how employees are recruited, positioned in roles, rewarded and recognized, and importantly, how they are managed.Essential reading for today's global business leaders, Human Sigma shows how sales and service companies can flourish in the new global economy. It reveals a profoundly different method for managing human systems for growth. Blending strategic analysis with hands-on, practical steps and advice, Human Sigma will change how you view your work, your employees, and your customers forever.

Length: 09:45:00

Language: English

Release date: 01-03-17

Publisher: Listening Library (Audio)

Genres: Kids, Fairy Tales & Folklore

Summary:

An enchanting historical fantasy adventure perfect for fans of Thanhha Lai's Newbery Honor-winning Inside Out and Back Again

 

No one comes to the Second World on purpose. The doorway between worlds opens only when least expected. The Raft King is desperate to change that by finding the doorway that will finally take him and the people of Raftworld back home. To do it, he needs Pip, a young boy with an incredible gift—he can speak to fish; and the Raft King is not above kidnapping to get what he wants. Pip’s sister Kinchen, though, is determined to rescue her brother and foil the Raft King’s plans.

 

This is but the first of three extraordinary stories that collide on the high seas of the Second World. The second story takes us back to the beginning: Venus and Swimmer are twins captured aboard a slave ship bound for Jamaica in 1781. They save themselves and others from a life of enslavement with a risky, magical plan—one that leads them from the shark-infested waters of the first world to the second. Pip and Kinchen will hear all about them before their own story is said and done. So will Thanh and his sister Sang, who we meet in 1978 on a small boat as they try to escape post-war Vietnam. But after a storm and a pirate attack, they’re not sure they’ll ever see shore again. What brings these three sets of siblings together on an adventure of a lifetime is a little magic, helpful sea monsters and that very special portal, A Crack in the Sea.
