![]() COVID-19: The Conspiracy Theories (Audiobook) English | ASIN: B0B7CKMX27 | 2022 | 11 hours and 32 minutes | MP3@48 kbps | 259 MB Author: David Gardner Narrator: Kris Dyer Investigative journalist David Gardner turns his uncompromising gaze on the many conspiracy theories connected with the COVID pandemic. With first-hand reporting and detailed investigations into the people who originated these COVID theories-some of them plausible, some driven by an agenda and some plainly mad-he answers the questions that everyone has been asking for nearly two years since the pandemic began, and left us doubting our leaders as never before. When COVID-19 struck early in 2020, first in China and inexorably through the rest of the world, it quickly became the subject of the most virulent outbreak of conspiracy theories we have ever seen. The pandemic quickly became an infodemic. ![]() Butts: A Backstory (Audiobook) English | ASIN: B09SKCPP9Y | 2022 | 8 hours and 13 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 236 MB Author: Heather Radke Narrator: Heather Radke, Emily Tremaine Whether we love them or hate them, think they're sexy, think they're strange, consider them too big, too small, or anywhere in between, humans have a complicated relationship with butts. It is a body part unique to humans, critical to our evolution and survival, and yet it has come to signify so much more: sex, desire, comedy, shame. A woman's butt, in particular, is forever being assessed, criticized, and objectified, from anxious self-examinations trying on jeans in department store dressing rooms to enduring crass remarks while walking down a street or high school hallways. But why? In Butts: A Backstory, reporter, essayist, and RadioLab contributing editor Heather Radke is determined to find out. ![]() Burn Rate: Launching a Startup and Losing My Mind (Audiobook) English | ASIN: B09FFS3CVJ | 2022 | 8 hours and 26 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 216 MB Author: Andy Dunn Narrator: Andy Dunn The co-founder of the menswear startup Bonobos opens up about the struggle with bipolar disorder that nearly cost him everything in this gripping, radically honest memoir of mental illness and entrepreneurship. At twenty-eight, fresh from Stanford's MBA program and steeped in the move-fast-and-break-things ethos of Silicon Valley, Andy Dunn was on top of the world. He was building a new kind of startup-a digitally native, direct-to-consumer brand-out of his Manhattan apartment. Bonobos was a new-school approach to selling an old-school product: men's pants. Against all odds, business was booming. Hustling to scale the fledgling venture, Dunn raised tens of millions of dollars while boundaries between work and life evaporated. As he struggled to keep the startup afloat, Dunn was haunted by a ghost: a diagnosis of bipolar disorder he received after a frightening manic episode in college, one that had punctured the idyllic veneer of his midwestern upbringing. ![]() Brain Weaver: Creating the Fabric for a Healthy Mind Through Integrative Medicine (Audiobook) English | ASIN: B0BN2MXV3Z | 2022 | 7 hours and 58 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 228 MB Author: Andrew Newberg, Daniel A. Monti Narrator: William Sarris Though adult cognitive development has previously been thought to be unyielding and static, Brain Weaver offers new hope and empowerment to remain mentally vibrant for a lifetime. Doctors Newberg and Monti's team at Thomas Jefferson University's Marcus Institute of Integrative Health are at the forefront of research in brain functioning and applications of the most advanced understanding in real-world strategies to expand options for optimizing our complex neurophysiology. Their findings show that optimal brain health is achievable by successfully weaving together a tapestry of our bio-psycho-social-spiritual dimensions. Brain Weaver also coincides with a decades-long surge in the public's interest in whole-person treatments-body, mind, and spirit evidence-based integrative therapies that include pharmaceuticals, electromagnetics, nutrition, and meditation. Brain Weaver's timeliness is all the more important now to address a new paradigm for post-pandemic wellness that emphasizes our individual and collective responsibility for proactive healthcare. ![]() Brain Reboot: New Treatments for Healing Depression (Audiobook) English | ASIN: B0B2DZV53X | 2022 | 7 hours and 48 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 208 MB Author: Michael Henry Narrator: Robert Petkoff Depression affects eleven million people in the United States alone and 300 million people worldwide. It ruins lives, careers, families, and love of life. We often think of pharmaceutical treatments at the best way to treat depression, but the truth is that they don't work for everyone or they lose their efficacy for a third to half of all people with clinical depression. But help is on the way in the form of three alternative treatments coming to the forefront: electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), ketamine, and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Curing people of depression is Dr. Michael Henry's life's work. As one of the foremost doctors in ECT, Dr. Henry sets out to show listeners that these three treatments, which are fraught with stereotypes and mystery, are actually miraculous-and proven to be so. Often, they can serve as a "brain reboot" to get trusted medications to start working again. While these are not treatments you can do yourself-nor are they always easy to obtain-Dr. Henry sheds light where is little, offers sufferers options, and looks to the future of depression treatment. ![]() Bitcoin: Everything Divided by 21 Million (Audiobook) English | ASIN: B0B77XYG4G | 2022 | 5 hours and 30 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 301 MB Author: Knut Svanholm Narrator: Guy Swann We're all chained to the unforgiving arrow of time. We're born, we live, and we get old. At least, that's what we hope will happen. Then we die. None of us humans are millionaires in terms of hours, yet we sacrifice our most valuable and scarce asset just to stay alive in the hamster's wheel one more day. In pursuit of saving time, Satoshi stumbled upon a discovery of a new, weightless, absolutely scarce element. The showstopper for each and every time thief. Element zero. Bitcoin. Bitcoin's limited supply cap is the immovable object that enables us all to become an unstoppable force. Because the truth is that the system is us. Each of our actions in choosing, in turn, changes our world. It is how ideas we once couldn't see turn into reality. One person at a time. ![]() English | ASIN: B08NCVDCYM | 2021 | 11 hours and 56 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 651 MB Author: Edith Widder Narrator: Allyson Ryan [center] ![]() Being-Time: A Practitioner's Guide to Dogen's Shobogenzo Uji (Audiobook) English | ASIN: B0BM57ZD7J | 2022 | 9 hours and 7 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 243 MB Author: Shinshu Roberts Narrator: Leslie Howard A tour-de-force guide to Zen Master Dogen's most subtle and sophisticated philosophical premises: that being and time are inseparable. Being-Time thoroughly explores Dogen's teaching on how we practice as Buddhas by understanding the relationship between being and time as it is-and as we perceive it to be. Using Dogen's Shobogenzo Uji, Shinshu Roberts offers a twofold analysis of this teaching: the meaning of the text and practice with the text, giving examples how we apply Dogen's complex teaching to our daily lives. ![]() Becoming Kin: An Indigenous Call to Unforgetting the Past and Reimagining Our Future (Audiobook) English | ISBN: 9798765032305 | 2022 | 5 hours and 24 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 149 MB Author: Patty Krawec Narrator: Patty Krawec The invented history of the Western world is crumbling fast, Anishinaabe writer Patty Krawec says, but we can still honor the bonds between us. Settlers dominated and divided, but Indigenous peoples won't just send them all "home." Weaving her own story with the story of her ancestors and with the broader themes of creation, replacement, and disappearance, Krawec helps listeners see settler colonialism through the eyes of an Indigenous writer. Settler colonialism tried to force us into one particular way of living, but the old ways of kinship can help us imagine a different future. ![]() Attitude Is Everything: Change Your Attitude...Change Your Life!
