Das perfekte Geschenk gegen den Alltagsstress – vom genialen Beobachter des täglichen Wahnsinns. Warum ist die Steuererklärung komplizierter, als Hebräisch zu lernen? Darf man lästige Werbeanrufer in den Wahnsinn treiben? Warum dauert es länger, die Wohnung saugrobotergerecht zu machen, als selbst zu saugen?

Wenn man ihn angeht wie Comedy-Bestsellerautor Tommy Jaud, hat man die besten Chancen, ihn mit einem Lachen zu meistern.

If you want to have a meditation that never lapses, you need to do sitting meditation every day, you need to do it when you get up, and you have to want to do it. That's the premise of this audiobook. It's not about why to meditate. It’s about how to pull it off.

Researchers estimate that the average person will influence up to eighty thousand people over the course of their lifetime—or 2.8 people daily. That’s a stadium full of people whom each of us affects in ways positive or negative, sometimes without us realizing. What if we paid attention to this fact? Would we live differently? Would we lead differently? Would we put down our phones and be more present with the people in front of us?

Dating is hard enough. Throw in an incontinent Chihuahua, an unrequited love affair, a severe case of social anxiety disorder, a dying father, and a man-eating hog, and it becomes darned near impossible. Still, it takes two to tango - and when Tom Morgan, a mild-mannered assistant bank manager with a debilitating case of shyness, meets Frank Wells, who is straight off the farm and even shyer than he is, sparks start flying.

Müssen wir wirklich abnehmen, aufräumen und uns ökologisch korrekt verhalten? Vorwärtskommen im Job, zu allem eine Meinung haben und rausgehen, wenn die Sonne scheint? "Nein!", sagt US-Bestseller-Autor Sean Brummel alias Tommy Jaud (Vollidiot, Hummeldumm), "einen Scheiß müssen wir! Die Leute sterben nicht, weil sie zu wenig Licht bekommen. Sie sterben, weil sie zu wenig Spaß haben."

When the Alpha of the Silvercrest Pack dies, I’m in line to take his place. I don’t want it, but it’s my responsibility, so suck it up, yeah?

Mule Tide Cheer is a short story, including two side characters from the Top Shelf Romances Series. It can be listened to as a standalone, and while technically a romantic comedy, this MMF story has little to no plot, to appease the author's listeners who have been asking for a fun, spicy holiday story.

IRL is a sweaty summertime poem composed like a long text message, rooted in the epic tradition of A.R. Ammons, ancient Kumeyaay Bird Songs, and Beyoncé’s visual albums. It follows Teebs, a reservation-born, queer NDN weirdo, trying to figure out his impulses/desires/history in the midst of Brooklyn rooftops, privacy in the age of the Internet, street harassment, suicide, boys boys boys, literature, colonialism, religion, leaving one's 20s, and a love/hate relationship with English.

In this utterly unconventional autobiographical novel, Mark Leyner gives a reading in the food court of a mall. Besides Mark's mother, who's driven him to the mall and introduces him before he begins, and a few employees of fast food chain Panda Express who ask a handful of questions, the reading is completely without audience. The action of Gone with the Mind takes place exclusively at the food court, but the territory covered in this audio has no bounds.

Enter high school football hero Brett Willson and the chance for Jeff to embark upon the challenge of educating the world's dumbest jock. But what develops between Brett and Jeff proves far more challenging than any tutoring session.

An accessible introduction to philosophical theology, this book first explains the scope, relevance, and value of philosophical theology and then shows students how its conceptual tools help us to examine core Christian doctrines: the Trinity, the Incarnation, redemption and the atonement, and resurrection and life after death.

Diesmal bittet Ghostsitter Tom persönlich den Anwalt um Hilfe: Bei ihrem Abenteuer mit der mächtigen Geistermutter im Saarland haben sich nicht alle Gespenster auf den wohlverdienten Weg in die Ewigkeit gemacht: Ein einziger Poltergeist blieb übrig und spukt nun in der Buchhandlung Dracheneck. Feuerflieg soll dorthin reisen und eine Geisteraustreibung vornehmen.

Nicht genug damit, dass Rufus T. Feuerfliegs Freundin Desiree von Dumont mit ihm Schluss macht, weil er Paul McCartney als Bandmitglied bei Modern Talking verortet. Direkt danach bekommt unser Anwalt auch noch Besuch von einem Poltergeist-Mädchen mit einem Anliegen, das den sonst nie um eine Antwort verlegenen Feuerflieg schwer ins Grübeln bringt. Eine brandneue Hörspielkurzgeschichte aus der Reihe der GHOSTSITTER STORIES mit Wigald Boning als Rufus T. Feuerflieg und Teresa Boning als Kreszenzia Freifrau von Himmelberg-Hasseloh, geschrieben und inszeniert von Tommy Krappweis.

It is 1998, and Richard Stearns’s heart is breaking as he sits in a mud hut and listens to the story of an orphaned child in Rakai, Uganda. His journey to this place took more than a long flight from the United States to Africa. It took answering God’s call on his life, a call that hurtled him out of his corner office at Lenox - America’s finest tableware company - to this humble corner of Uganda. This is a story of how a corporate CEO faced his struggle to obey God, whatever the cost, and his passionate call for Christians to change the world by actively living out their faith.

Did you ever wonder what makes the superstars of your industry the superstars of your industry? Does it frustrate and mystify you that your competition seems to always remain one step ahead?

Wenn der frisch gebackene Hausmeister Vierfinger-Franz versucht, Rufus T. Feuerflieg etwas zu erklären, geht das eigentlich nie gut aus. Doch diesmal scheint es so, als hätte Franz dem Anwalt tatsächlich eine böse Überraschung erspart: Das geheimnisvolle Päckchen auf der Straße vor der Kanzlei kommt auch Kreszenzia höchst verdächtig vor. Die drei beschließen, das Paket in einen Steinbruch zu verfrachten, um es dort möglichst vorsichtig zu öffnen... Autor Tommy Krappweis ist wieder in seiner Paraderolle als "Vierfinger Franz" zu hören.

Zealous faith can have a dangerous, dark side. While recent calls for radical Christians have challenged many to be more passionate about their faith, the down side can be a budding arrogance and self-righteousness that “accidentally” sneaks into our outlook.
