Story
In Do Nothing, award-winning journalist Celeste Headlee illuminates a new path ahead, seeking to institute a global shift in our thinking so we can stop sabotaging our well-being, put work aside, and start living instead of doing. As it turns out, we’re searching for external solutions to an internal problem. We won’t find what we’re searching for in punishing diets, productivity apps, or the latest self-improvement schemes. Yet all is not lost - we just need to learn how to take time for ourselves, without agenda or profit, and redefine what is truly worthwhile.

Fascinating and timely

Useful and interesting information that turns everything we’ve been taught about work on its head.
One of the few books that doesn’t suffer from being read by the author.

Story
Alice ist zufrieden mit sich und ihrem Leben. Sie ist glücklich verheiratet, ihre drei Kinder sind bereits aus dem Gröbsten raus, und auch beruflich hat sie ihren Traum verwirklichen können. Als Professorin für kognitive Psychologie ist sie eine anerkannte Größe in Harvard. Doch plötzlich beginnt sie, die immer so zuverlässig war, Termine zu vergessen, sie verlegt ihre Sachen, und beim Joggen weiß sie auf einmal nicht mehr, wie sie nach Hause kommt. Obwohl sie nur wenige Blocks weit gelaufen ist.

Any additional comments?
A wonderful story, beautifully read by Heide Domanowski. Based on fact, so the listener learns a lot about early onset Alzheimer. And slow enough for intermediate German learners to understand).

Story
What would happen if we looked with fresh eyes at the struggles and "impossible situations" that we face every day - and found there four gifts that changed everything? For decades, Pema Chödrön has brought clarity and heart to the core teachings of the Buddha, helping to make them relevant and useful in our everyday lives. With The Truth of Our Existence, she immerses us in one of Buddhism’s essential distillations of written wisdom known as The Four Marks of Existence.

Pema Chödrön brings humor and gentleness to the difficult places in life. This was my first exposure to Chödrön but won't be the last. Buddhist philosophy that is accessible to anyone with any background.
