Grandes líderes, pensadores, artistas, atletas e visionários têm uma característica em comum: a capacidade de alcançar a quietude. Cínicos às vezes a confundem com ociosidade e indecisão, mas a verdade é que a quietude é a chave para ter autodomínio, disciplina e foco. É impossível avançar na vida sem ela. A quietude ajuda as pessoas a controlar impulsos, evitar distrações e ter grandes ideias. Sobretudo, permite que encontrem a felicidade e façam a coisa certa.

Publisher's summary
Um alerta sobre os perigos que enfrentamos para a sobrevivência da democracia.
Eleito pelo Financial Times, Personalidade do Ano de 2018, o lendário filantropo e investidor George Soros criou a Open Society Foundations em 1979 para promover os valores da sociedade aberta, dos direitos humanos e da democracia liberal. Nas décadas seguintes, regimes repressivos como a União Soviética desmoronaram, e sociedades abertas como a União Europeia emergiram. A tendência apenas se tornou negativa após a crise financeira mundial de 2008. O ponto mais baixo foi em 2016, com o Brexit na Europa e a eleição do presidente Donald Trump nos Estados Unidos. Soros foi um participante ativo desses eventos e tem muito a dizer sobre eles.
Em defesa de uma sociedade aberta é uma seleção de seis conferências e textos produzidos por George Soros no período de 2014 a 2019. Inclui dois discursos do autor no Fórum Econômico Mundial em Davos, 2018 e 2019, sobre os perigos sem precedentes enfrentados pelas sociedades abertas atualmente. O primeiro discurso trata das ameaças representadas pelas plataformas de mídias digitais, e o segundo faz um alerta para o risco ainda maior representado pelos instrumentos de controle que, graças à inteligência artificial, podem cair nas mãos de regimes repressivos, em especial da China e da Rússia. Há ainda ensaios sobre filantropia política; a história das instituições fundadas por Soros, a Open Society Foundation e a Universidade Centro-Europeia (CEU); a teoria de Soros sobre a ascensão e a queda dos mercados financeiros e suas implicações políticas; e as ameaças que a União Europeia enfrenta hoje.
OBSERVAÇÃO: Quando comprar este título, o PDF que o acompanha estará disponível em sua Biblioteca Audible junto com o áudio.

Story5 out of 5 stars 244
When two Stanford graduate students set out to create a new kind of cigarette that wouldn’t kill them, they didn’t foresee all the obstacles that lay ahead — or the powerful forces their invention would unleash. Nearly 10 years after the launch of the JUUL, Backfired: The Vaping Wars asks: Could e-cigarettes have been the solution to one of the world’s most pressing public health problems—or was this technology doomed to introduce a whole new generation to nicotine, and end up perpetuating an intractable addiction?

In weeks after the September 11 attacks, 18-year-old Mansoor Adayfi was kidnapped by Afghan militia and sold to US forces for bounty money. After months of interrogations, he was sent to the US military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, as one of its first prisoners. Like the nearly 800 other men imprisoned at Guantanamo, Adayfi didn’t know why he was imprisoned or for how long. He had never seen a skyscraper and couldn’t imagine what the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center looked like, much less how they were destroyed.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Michael Pollan, known for his best-selling nonfiction audio, including The Omnivores Dilemma and How to Change Your Mind, conceived and wrote Caffeine: How Caffeine Created the Modern World as an Audible Original. In this controversial and exciting listen, Pollan explores caffeine’s power as the most-used drug in the world - and the only one we give to children (in soda pop) as a treat.

On the face of it, a simple book of 26 poem fables sharing one man’s wisdom. But The Prophet is so much more than that. It has inspired people from John F Kennedy to The Beatles and became the '60s Bible of counterculture – all because of the timeless truths it shared. Each poem takes a different theme – pleasure, beauty, freedom, joy and sorrow – as the fictional Al Mustapha shares his thoughts and experiences as he prepares to travel back to his island home.

Early True Believers: The Untold Story of Silicon Alley is a 1990s saga of ambition and innovation set in Manhattan’s Silicon Alley, a swath of downtown that served as New York City’s nerve center of tech entrepreneurship. The series features the stories of a forgotten cohort of early internet visionaries, countercultural social networks, the digital gold rush, and the lavish events that came with it, including one held in an underground Tribeca bunker that abruptly ended in a police raid—a harbinger of the upheaval to come.
