But each book disagrees with the next. In "How to Live", each chapter believes it knows how you should live. And each chapter disagrees with the next. One chapter makes a compelling argument for why you should be completely independent, keeping all options open. The next chapter argues why you should commit to one career, one place, and one person. One chapter persuades you to be fully present, and experience each moment. The next, to delay gratification and invest for the future. Which one is right? Which does the author believe? All of them. It's a philosophy of conflicting philosophies. A very unique and thought-provoking book. ![]() English | 2022 | MP3 | M4B | ASIN: B09F6ZVS3D | Duration: 8:04 h | 455 MB Robin Dunbar / Narrated by John Sackville ![]() English | ASIN: B00BS4IX2E | 2013 | 5 hours and 16 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 145 MB Worry, stress, anxiety – whichever label you prefer to use – can have consequences that impact not only our lives, but the lives of others around us.

And when we're tired we are less likely to think straight. And when we're not thinking straight it's easy to make stupid mistakes and confuse priorities...But relax. There is a way forward. ![]() English | ASIN: B094RJGCRH | 2022 | MP3 | M4B | ~09:33:00 | 271 MB David McRaney (Author, Narrator), "How Minds Change: The Surprising Science of Belief, Opinion, and Persuasion" ![]() English | ASIN: B0B3F6J34C | 2022 | 5 hours and 12 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 142 MB A revelatory journey into the beautifully intricate conversion of light into life, key to every living thing's survival—and our planet's future. We think we know photosynthesis: Plants convert of sunlight, CO2, and water into energy and, ultimately, the food we eat and air we breathe. But Raffael Jovine shows how this incredible process goes beyond what we learned in grade school. First, it's not only about plants: Corals partner with photosynthetic organisms to create the most productive habitat on Earth, slugs eat chloroplasts to create a photosynthesis-based camouflage, hornets use photosynthesis for a very unconventional form of air conditioning—and much more! Further, photosynthesis can help save the world. Jovine's groundbreaking blueprint for the future harnesses photosynthesis to repair ecosystems, create jobs, and grow sustainable food. This book will help you to see the many surprising ways we can't live without this miracle of light—through the photosynthetic pigments in your own eyes! ![]() English | ASIN: B09WZFRP9P | 2022 | 9 hours and 31 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 262 MB The statistics on suicide are staggering.
