Acerca de esta escucha
For most of us, caregiving for aging parents is brand-new territory we don’t get much time to prepare for. But while the experience is scary and exhausting, it can also be a rewarding time filled with moments that bring deep joy and fulfillment, and a stronger relationship with the people who cared for you when you needed it most.
Michelle Seitzer knows this well. Her varied experiences—caring for four younger siblings, a grandfather, and a special needs child; being cared for by her husband when she had cancer; extensive work in the healthcare space—have given her a lifetime of tips, resources, strategies, and advice. And in this compassionate Audible Original, she shares them all with you.
Think of Taking Care of Your Aging Parents as a conversation with a trusted friend who’s already walked this path, and now wants to help you navigate (or prepare for) your own caregiving experience. These six lectures are full of practical, foundational content about everything from Medicare to advanced directives to creative ideas for self-care in your free moments. What are the five kinds of emotional curveballs you might experience as a caregiver for your parents? How can you build an effective caretaking team of doctors, mediators, and community-based services? How should you approach difficult topics like medical diagnoses or moving a parent out of their home?
Regardless of the specific obstacles ahead of you and your aging parents, this is a powerful, inspirational guide to finding your way through them.

Monster stories aren’t just meant to entertain. They’re meant to inform, even educate. Above all, they ask us to question our own humanity. Nowhere is this truer than in stories of serial killers. What are the origins of this monstrous archetype? Why are we so fascinated with such gruesome terror? What do they reveal about our fears and anxieties? Explore these and other questions in Serial Killers: Real and Imagined, where public scholar Emily Zarka looks at the serial-killer trope across history, from murky 17th-century legends to 21st-century true-crime obsessions.

Often in difficult conversations, be it a negotiation at work or an important talk with a family member, we’re eager to find the right words to change someone’s thoughts, emotions, or behaviors. But the most successful conversations and negotiations don’t come from how well you speak. They come from how well you listen. Listening is the most essential skill of any conversation, and it’s fast becoming a lost art. But Kwame Christian, recognized as one of the world’s top negotiation experts, believes that anyone with an interest in learning can master the power of effective listening.

While the popular image of the Victorian world is one of stiff formality and old-fashioned values, it was an incredibly transformative time for many people who sought better protections, fairer wages, and greater freedom. And this included an increasingly popular and successful fight for animal welfare. Prior to the 19th century, the mistreatment of animals was rarely questioned, and sports like bullbaiting and dogfighting were common. So, what brought the plight of exploited and suffering animals to the attention of activists, politicians, and the public at large?

The proliferation of social media platforms and our increasing reliance on the internet for connection and communication has caused the line between the “real” world and the online world to blur. So much of our lives can be impacted by online interactions—and not all those interactions are positive. Why does the internet seem to encourage bad behavior from some users? Why do we feel we need to share so much of our private lives with the online world? Is screen time really as addictive as the headlines say?

In Mindfulness for Daily Stressors, mindfulness coach Rachael Kable shares practical and powerful strategies for managing stress in your life, and for cultivating mindfulness to develop greater resilience, energy, and enjoyment.

“Who are you?” Chances are you’d answer this question by describing the highlights of your personality and life experiences. But if you’d been asked this same question yesterday, you might have responded with a slightly different description. Does that mean you are a particular person today but were a different person yesterday? And what about tomorrow? Welcome to the slippery, shape-shifting nature of memory. As Professor Gabrielle Principe reveals, “you” are the conglomeration of the often-unreliable information your brain decides to feed you at any given moment.

Americans wage many of today’s fiercest policy debates and culture wars over constitutional meaning. It’s because constitutional law is so fundamental to our democracy that law schools across the country teach the subject. It's the area of law that determines what federal and state governments are permitted to do, and what rights you have as an individual citizen of the US. Here, you'll get the same accessible, well-rounded introduction to constitutional law as a typical law student - but with the added benefit of noted constitutional scholar Eric Berger's brilliant insights.

Sex. The word makes some people giggle or blush, while others may draw back in discomfort. So, why do we find it so difficult to talk openly about sex? Much of our reticence in discussing and acknowledging the realities of sex comes, at least in part, from a unique time and place: medieval Europe. In the 12 episodes of Sex in the Middle Ages, Professor Jennifer McNabb and a panel of experts in medieval history and literature will take you back to the period between the fall of Rome and the rise of the Renaissance to explore the ideals and realities of sex and sexuality.

Language defines us as a species, placing humans head and shoulders above even the most proficient animal communicators. But it also beguiles us with its endless mysteries, allowing us to ponder why different languages emerged, why there isn't simply a single language, how languages change over time and whether that's good or bad, and how languages die out and become extinct.

Difficult Topic yet Necessary

If you are looking for concrete steps with background explanations, this book won’t help much. I am still confused over the author’s advice to “clean out the bathroom and linens” of a passed loved one before addressing/securing valuables. And no mention of locking down the credit of a terminal family member as soon as possible to avoid identity theft? I would have appreciated much more advice on how to care for a parent without infantilizing them, even when said parent has become like a terrible teenager or worse, a two year old.
