Title: [German] - Um Leben und Tod - Ein Hirnchirurg erzählt vom Heilen, Hoffen und Scheitern (Ungekürzt) Author: Henry Marsh Narrator: Dominic Kolb Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 49 minutes Release date: October 5, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Der New York Times- und SPIEGEL-Bestseller. Wie arbeitet ein Hirnchirurg? Wie fühlt es sich an, in das Organ zu schneiden, mit dem Menschen denken und träumen? Wie geht man damit um, wenn das Leben eines Patienten von der eigenen Heilkunst abhängt? Und wie, wenn man scheitert? Mehr noch als in anderen Bereichen der Medizin ist es in der Hirnchirurgie so gut wie unmöglich, nie einem Patienten zu schaden, denn Operationen am Innersten des Menschen sind immer mit unkalkulierbaren Risiken verbunden. Man kann die Arbeit von Hirnchirurgen mit dem 'Entschärfen einer Bombe' vergleichen. Henry Marsh, einer der besten Neurochirurgen Großbritanniens, erzählt beeindruckend offen, selbstkritisch und humorvoll von den Ausnahmesituationen, die seinen Arbeitsalltag ausmachen. Die Geschichten in diesem Hörbuch handeln: • Vom Heilen und Helfen; • Vom Hoffen und Scheitern; • Von fatalen Fehlern und von der Schwierigkeit, die richtige Entscheidung zu treffen. Henry Marsh ist einer der renommiertesten Hirnchirurgen Englands. Vor seinem Medizinstudium am Royal Free Hospital in London hat er Wirtschaft, Politik und Philosophie in Oxford studiert. Über ihn und seine Arbeit sind zwei preisgekrönte TV-Dokumentationen gedreht worden. 2010 wurde ihm der britische Verdienstorden verliehen. Seit 2015 ist er im Ruhestand. Für sein Buch 'Um Leben und Tod ist' ist Marsh mit dem PEN Ackerly Prize ausgezeichnet worden. Dieses Buch erschien im englischen Original unter dem Titel 'Do No Harm: Stories of Life, Death, and Brain Surgery'.

Title: We Are the Stars Author: Gina Chick Narrator: Gina Chick Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 40 minutes Release date: October 4, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: ‘Unlike anything I have ever read before. I can't wait to give this book to everyone I love. Read it.' HUGH JACKMAN Gina Chick, the inaugural winner of Alone Australia, tells the story of her extraordinary, indomitable life in one of the most powerful, moving memoirs you will ever read. From day one of her wildly unconventional childhood, Gina Chick blazed her own trail, which led her to dance through the hidden world of 90's Sydney nightlife into the arms of a conman. She fled to the wilderness to find healing, began a wondrous love affair with the deepest lessons life – and death – can offer, and found that all the answers are written in the wisdom of the body and the whirling silence of stars. If you're ready to get lost in jungles, wander into wolf-dens, sing with storms, rescue orphaned animals, dive to the depths, dance 'til your knees wobble, fall in love, find yourself by losing it all, and most of all be real; this book is for you. We Are the Stars is a magic carpet ride through the exquisite mystery of the human heart. You've never read anything like it. 'I am a storm wrapped in skin', writes Gina Chick in this book full of bliss, sorrow, earth and stars. I love Gina's courage, her strength and her joy. Above all I admire the life force that guides her through the worst of times to emerge on the other side of that dark river with a truly rare perspicacity. A wild, creaturely memoir that shows us how to really live.' CHARLOTTE WOOD, author of Stone Yard Devotional 'Want to know what it's like to spend time with someone so funny and wise and so brutally honest that your jaw is permanently on the floor and your heart is singing? This memoir quite simply broke me open. Her powerful poetic mixture of truth, humour, hard-fought wisdom and unblinking authenticity radiates from every page. From the first paragraph it dawned on me that this is unlike anything I have ever read before. I can't wait to give this book to everyone I love. Read it.' HUGH JACKMAN ‘Gina's eyes are wolf, her limbs the trees, her heart a moon, her mind the sea. We Are the Stars is an exhilarating story of a life uncontained and it will travel with me forever … an excellent manual for making a friend of life's intrepid roads and the wisdom that ensues. Let her words churn you up and inspire you to admire your deepest sorrows, laugh when you shouldn't and above all, make a god of curiosity.' POH LING YEOW There's nobody like Gina Chick and this book pulses with her intelligence, authenticity and vulnerability, but most of all, with her passionate love of life.' LEIGH SALES, author of Any Ordinary Day ‘A book like a huge wave of saltwater; raw and real and true. Chick has gathered a whole life's worth of lessons, recorded them here with honesty, and the result is a completely unique philosophy of life. It wrecked me and woke me the fuck up.' BRI LEE, author of Eggshell Skull ‘We Are the Stars is as much a force of nature as Gina Chick herself. In staring unflinchingly into the cruellest of losses, this book is wise, fierce and unexpectedly life-affirming.' BENJAMIN LAW, author of The Family Law ‘YES is the clarion call, the anthem, the bass drumbeat that infuses this insistently joyous memoir. She sings, she dances, she embraces it all - every scrap of grass, every mote of dust, every death, every rebirth, every heartbreak, and every single joy. She notices with wide-seeing eyes, and she celebrates with a wide-open heart. We Are The Stars roars with li

Title: Danny's People: A Memoir and Manifesto About Autism Author: Virginia Bovell Narrator: Virginia Bovell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 22 minutes Release date: October 3, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Society disables us more than autism ever could Virginia's son Danny has a way of lighting up a room. He's warm, personable and has an infectious laugh. He forms lasting relationships and has known his best friend since they were little. He is also nonverbal and autistic, and requires round-the-clock care and a liquid diet. And for this reason, there are many who would rather not encounter Danny. Challenging the view that autism is something that needs to be ‘cured', Virginia Bovell testifies to the extraordinary care Danny has received for over 30 years and the everyday kindness and decency of the people – ‘the band of angels' – that surround him. She asks us to consider what makes a thriving individual versus an inadequate one; what it means to be ill versus what it means to not to conform; what roles society values and rewards; and how humans might flourish outside of failing political and economic systems. ‘My brain's still fizzing, my heart's still sore and I'm already re-reading' Sally Phillips 'An inspiring testament and a celebration of neurodiversity.'

Title: A Million Times We Cry: A Memoir of Loss, Grief, Depression, and Ultimately Hope Author: Stacey Grimes-Wempe Narrator: Stacey Grimes-Wempe Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 39 minutes Release date: October 1, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: The day after she and her husband moved into their first home, Stacey Wempe’s simple, ideal life in Saskatchewan was shattered. At daybreak, her aunt and uncle arrived at her new home to tell her that her twenty-two-year-old brother, Clinton, had been killed in a tragic accident a few hours earlier. Driving in thick fog to rescue his stranded girlfriend, he drove his truck into the side of a freight train traveling on a rarely used track. This random, tragic event propelled Stacey into a downward spiral of depression and anxiety that lasted years. Prolonged grief extended to postpartum depression after the birth of her son and daughter. Her despair led to marital stress, intensified by her mother and father losing their battles with cancer. In the face of overwhelming sorrow, she struggled to move on but knew she had no alternative. A Million Times We Cry is Stacey’s uplifting story of her fight to regain control of her life, find hope and joy, and move past her anguish. Seeking therapeutic intervention and subsequently displaying bravery and persistence, she embarked on a journey to become a Fearless Living life coach. Ultimately, Stacey confronted the very things she had evaded—her fears, anguish, and insecurities—and embraced herself and her existence. Drawing upon her life’s lessons and life-coach training, Stacey reveals her raw and poignant emotional healing journey that led to a life filled with hope and happiness. Her concluding insights into how others can start their journey to discover healing, hope, and joy are profoundly inspiring.

Title: Uses for Obsession: A Chef's Memoir Author: Ben Shewry Narrator: Ben Shewry Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 11 minutes Release date: October 1, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: An intimate, searing and hopeful memoir meets manifesto that reframes the way we think about restaurants, cooking, hospitality, leadership and humanity from one of the most respected chefs in the world. Chef and restaurateur Ben Shewry knows obsession well. Whether it's crispy-edged lasagne, saltwater crocodile ribs or the perfect potato, obsession is what motivates him and what makes him tick. It's also what has propelled his Melbourne restaurant Attica into the league of the most innovative, acclaimed dining experiences in the world, and one of the most vital in Australian history. In this absorbing and wide-ranging memoir meets manifesto, Shewry applies his sometimes searing, sometimes comic eye to creative freedom in the kitchen, food journalism, sexism in hospitality, the fraud of the farm-to-table sustainability ethos, the cult of the chef, cooking as muse and the legendary Family Bolognese. Raised on a farm in a close-knit rural New Zealand family, he shares how a childhood surrounded by nature and a reverence for First People's cultures has influenced his work, the values he lives by, and the meticulous, inventive multi-course menu that is synonymous with Attica. Uses for Obsession also tells the intimate, desperate story of how Attica survived 262 days with an empty dining room. How, during a time of epic hospitality transformation, it morphed into a takeaway food business, a merch shop and a summer camp. He was told it couldn't be done and that doubt both tortured and drove him. At its heart, this is a positive story, an antidote to the macho chef culture that thrives on old ideas about leadership and success. Shewry prosecutes the compelling case for a new way forward. A bold blueprint for the restaurant - and workplace - of the future. One built on kindness, community, truth and a commitment to never giving up.
