Free Download The Human Predicament: A Candid Guide to Life's Biggest Questions (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BVXD6Y22 | 2023 | 6 hours and 55 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 187 MB
Author: David Benatar
Narrator: Dennis Kleinman
Are our lives meaningful, or meaningless? Is our inevitable death a bad thing? Would immortality be an improvement? Would it be better to hasten our deaths by suicide? Many people ask these big questions-and some people are plagued by them. Analytic philosophers have said relatively little about these important questions. The Human Predicament invites listeners to take a clear-eyed and unfettered view of the human condition. David Benatar here offers a substantial, but not unmitigated, pessimism about the central questions of human existence. He argues that while our lives can have some meaning, we are ultimately the insignificant beings that we fear we might be.

Free Download The Guru, the Bagman and the Sceptic: A Story of Science, Sex and Psychoanalysis (Audiobook)
English | ISBN: 9781803285641 | 2023 | 8 hours and 20 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 238 MB
Author: Seamus O'Mahony
Narrator: Seamus O'Mahony
A brilliantly witty book about the intertwined lives of psychoanalyst Ernest Jones, surgeon Wilfred Trotter and the guru of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud. Welsh-born psychoanalyst Ernest Jones was Sigmund Freud's closest associate and most fervent disciple. Clever, self-confident and intensely ambitious, Jones promoted psychoanalysis as a kind of secular religion. Meanwhile, his intimate friend Wilfred Trotter - a celebrated surgeon who saved the life of George V, and who took on Freud as a patient during his London exile - refused to yield to the seductions of the new Freudianism. A quintessentially English figure, Trotter was unimpressed by slick medical careerists, distrusted grand theories and lacked pomposity and self-regard.

Free Download The Freelance Mindset: Unleashing Your Side Hustles for Better Work, Play, and Life (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BXB95VR2 | 2023 | 6 hours and 25 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 162 MB
Author: Joy Batra
Narrator: Jeed Saddy
Offers concrete ways to navigate the uncertainty of freelancing to build a life that is financially and emotionally rewarding. In The Freelance Mindset we discover our illusions about the way we work are just that-stories we make up, or, worse, stories that were made up for us. The current way of work is, in fact, not working for us, but there is another path forward: one that leverages our innate creativity and human need to make a living. Listeners here discover what pulls us toward freelancing, develop tools to meet its challenges, and realize that we can succeed as either freelancers or traditional employees. What we cannot do is go back to seeing the world in the limited nine-to-five way we once did. Author Joy Batra compares traditional employment with the freelance lifestyle and keenly observes the gaps between the two. She shares concrete ways to help current and future freelancers navigate the uncertainty of freelancing in order to build a life that is both financially and emotionally rewarding.

Author: Paulo Savaget
Narrator: Roger Wayne
We constantly encounter complex problems at home, in our places of work, and in society at large. Even if we had all the time and money in the world, sometimes no good solution can be found. So, what should we do, especially when we can't wait? The answer: a workaround. For ages, global corporations have been lecturing small organizations and not-for-profits on how to get things done. As it turns out, it should have been the other way around. In this groundbreaking audiobook, award-winning researcher Paulo Savaget shows how the most valuable lessons about problem-solving can be learned from the scrappiest groups.

Free Download The Forest: A Fable of America in the 1830s (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BV86CGNB | 2023 | 9 hours and 31 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 274 MB
Author: Alexander Nemerov
Narrator: Clarke Peters
Set amid the glimmering lakes and disappearing forests of the early United States, The Forest imagines how a wide variety of Americans experienced their lives. Part truth, part fiction, featuring both real and invented characters, the book follows painters, poets, enslaved people, farmers, and artisans living and working in a world still made largely of wood. Some of the historical characters-such as Thomas Cole, Margaret Fuller, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Fanny Kemble, Edgar Allan Poe, and Nat Turner-are well-known, while others are not. But all are creators of private and grand designs.

Free Download The Earth Transformed: An Untold History by Peter Frankopan (Author/Narrator)
2023 | English | ASIN: B0BSLPH79M | M4B & MP3@63 kbps | 29 hrs 11 mins | 888 to 897 MB | UBR | Retail
A 2023 highlight for: BBC News, Sunday Times Culture, Financial Times, New European, Guardian, New Statesman, The Times, The Week, Waterstones, Blackwell's
Most people can name the influential leaders and major battles of the past. Few can name the most destructive storms, the worst winters, the most devastating droughts.
In The Earth Transformed, ground-breaking historian Peter Frankopan shows that engagement with the natural world and with climatic change and their effects on us are not new: exploring, for instance, the development of religion and language and their relationships with the environment; tracing how growing demands for harvests resulted in the increased shipment of enslaved peoples; scrutinising how the desire to centralise agricultural surplus formed the origins of the bureaucratic state; and seeing how efforts to understand and manipulate the weather have a long and deep history. Understanding how past shifts in natural patterns have shaped history, and how our own species has shaped terrestrial, marine and atmospheric conditions is not just important but essential at a time of growing awareness of the severity of the climate crisis.

Author: John Lisle

In the summer of 1942, Stanley Lovell, a renowned industrial chemist, received a mysterious order to report to an unfamiliar building in Washington, D.C. When he arrived, he was led to a barren room where he waited to meet the man who had summoned him. After a disconcerting amount of time, William "Wild Bill" Donovan, the head of the OSS, walked in the door. "You know your Sherlock Holmes, of course," Donovan said as an introduction. "Professor Moriarty is the man I want for my staff...I think you're it."

Author: Dan Egan
Narrator: Jason Culp
The New York Times best-selling author on the source of great bounty-and now great peril-all over the world.

But it's also the key component of one of the most vital: fertilizer, which has sustained life for billions of people. In this major work of explanatory science and environmental journalism, Pulitzer Prize finalist Dan Egan investigates the past, present, and future of what has been called "the oil of our time." The story of phosphorus spans the globe and vast tracts of human history. First discovered in a seventeenth-century alchemy lab in Hamburg, it soon became a highly sought-after resource.
