Free Download Miss Merkel: Mord in der Therapie
Deutsch | 2024 | ISBN: 3463000458 | 295 Pages | EPUB | 0.7 MB
Angela ist niedergeschlagen. Beim Schreiben ihrer Autobiografie ist ihr klar geworden, dass sie in ihrer Amtszeit das ein oder andere Problem des Landes eher suboptimal gelöst hat. Sei es zum Beispiel die Digitalisierung, die Energiewende oder die Bundesbahn, die allesamt Anlass zu Klagegebeten geben. Nachdem Angela auch noch Friedrich Merz anranzt, schlägt Ehemann Achim ihr einen Besuch beim Psychologen vor. Da aber auch in Angelas beschaulichem Heimatort Klein-Freudenstadt Fachkräftemangel herrscht, gibt es für sie nur einen Platz in einer Gruppentherapie bei Doktor Felix Fenstermacher. Dummerweise wird der Therapeut gleich nach der ersten Sitzung auf seinem Hausboot in die Luft gesprengt. Angela bekommt dadurch gleich viel bessere Laune, endlich kann sie wieder ermitteln. Verdächtig sind die Mitglieder der Gruppe: ein Wutbürger, eine Katzenfrau, eine Viren-Phobikerin, eine Klimaaktivistin und ein Mann, dem es buchstäblich die Sprache verschlagen hat. Allerdings fällt der Verdacht der anderen erst einmal auf Angela selbst, schließlich starb der Therapeut gleich nach ihrer ersten gemeinsamen Sitzung.

Narrator: Lauren Ezzo

Philosopher and popular Middlebury professor Dr. Lorraine Besser reveals the missing third piece in our search for the Good Life-what she calls The Interesting-and teaches us how to cultivate it in our lives. Do you know anyone who’s truly living The Good Life? Traditionally, philosophers and psychologists have thought of the Good Life in terms of happiness or meaning, or some combination of both. But, if it’s really that simple, if all you need is more happiness or meaning to get to the Good Life, why aren’t more of us achieving that truly "good" life? You’ve hit all the traditional markers, jumped on the happiness train, committed to a gratitude practice, sought purpose in your work, and yet The Good Life you’re seeking, is still out of reach.

Miss MacIntosh, My Darling (Dalkey Archive Essentials)


Free Download Miss MacIntosh, My Darling (Dalkey Archive Essentials) by Marguerite Young
English | April 9, 2024 | ISBN: 1628973951 | True EPUB | 1340 pages | 1.9 MB
This novel is one of the most ambitious and remarkable literary achievements of our time. It is a picaresque, psychological novel―a novel of the road, a journey or voyage of the human spirit in its search for reality in a world of illusion and nightmare. It is an epic of what might be called the Arabian Nights of American life. Marguerite Young’s method is poetic, imagistic, incantatory; in prose of extraordinary richness she tests the nature of her characters―and the nature of reality.
