Der erste Ablebensratgeber erhältlich als Hörbuch - eher Hörfluch. In diesem Sachbuch geht es um verschiedene Bereiche des Lebens und Erfahrungen in Kombination mit Weisheiten - Scheißheiten trifft eher zu. Da wir in einem Zeitalter des erhöhten Perfektionsanspruchs leben, dachte ich mir (du kannst denken?), ich verfasse ein Werk, in dem ich Dir einen Einblick in meine Lebensperspektive gebe. Meine unendlich vielen Macken, Probleme, Fehler, Schwächen, Baustellen (kann sich nur um Jahrzehnte handeln). Das Ganze verpackt in sarkastischem Galgenhumor - ist der Galgen da für mich vorbereitet? Ja.

What happens when the alarm clock stops ringing… but life doesn’t? In Every Day is Saturday, retirement isn’t a quiet rocking chair on the porch - it’s a full-contact sport. After decades of schedules, responsibilities, and living by someone else’s clock, stepping into retirement feels equal parts freedom and confusion. There are long mornings, unexpected adventures, shifting identities, and the startling realization that “doing nothing” is much harder than it sounds.

One moment can change everything — but it doesn’t have to end the story. In If You Have Five Minutes to Spare , Dominic Hurley BEM shares an honest, often funny, and deeply human memoir of life after a traumatic brain injury. After a life-altering accident at just twenty-one, Dominic was forced to rethink everything he thought he knew about normality, disability, memory, and identity. This is not a polished tale of instant triumph. It’s a real story of recovery — told with humour, frustration, warmth, and unfiltered truth.

Susan Huckle was raised for the End Times: homeschooled on Bible prophecy, drilled on the signs of the Rapture, and taught to keep a bag packed for Jesus's return. Believing the world could end any day was comforting. It meant she didn't have to think too hard about why God still hadn't healed her father, paralyzed by a stroke. When Susan leaves her small town on California’s Central Coast to chase acting in L. A., the questions she's never let herself ask start catching up with her.

C’est l’histoire d’une petite fille trop sensible nommée Mariana, mais aussi un touchant hommage à l’univers qui l’a définie : le quartier où elle a vécu, les familles immigrantes qu’elle a côtoyées, les enseignants qui l’ont inspirée, et aussi les lieux enchanteurs (pour une enfant) qu’elle a fréquentés, tels le Club argentin, le cinéma Langelier et le marché aux puces Cinq étoiles. Fille d’immigrante, Mariana Mazza brosse un portrait de son enfance dans le Montréal-Nord des années 1990 à la fois sombre et lumineux, chaotique et chaleureux. Sa mère s’en mêlera, comme d’habitude.
