Jules imagines a dream school, which includes 12 of the greatest and most colourful thinkers the world has ever known.
Each of these ancient philosophers teaches a technique we can use to transform ourselves and live better lives. These practical techniques are illustrated by the extraordinary stories of real people who are using them today - from marines to magicians, from astronauts to anarchists and from CBT psychologists to soldiers. Jules also explores how ancient philosophy is inspiring modern communities - Socratic cafes, Stoic armies, Platonic sects, Sceptic summer camps - and even whole nations in their quest for the good life.

Free Download Pessoa: A Biography (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CBW3KH44 | 2023 | 42 hours and 45 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 1.2 GB
Author: Richard Zenith
Narrator: Nigel Patterson
Like Richard Ellmann's James Joyce, Richard Zenith's Pessoa immortalizes the life of one of the twentieth century's greatest writers. Nearly a century after his wrenching death, the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935) remains one of our most enigmatic writers. Believing he could do "more in dreams than Napoleon," yet haunted by the specter of hereditary madness, Pessoa invented dozens of alter egos, or "heteronyms," under whose names he wrote in Portuguese, English, and French. Unsurprisingly, this "most multifarious of writers" (Guardian) has long eluded a definitive biographer-but in renowned translator and Pessoa scholar Richard Zenith, he has met his match.

Author: Jaime Kurtz, The Great Courses
Narrator: Jaime Kurtz
The ancient Greek maxim "know thyself" speaks to the age-old human desire for self-understanding. Generations have made countless attempts to force the very subjective concept of self-understanding into a scientific measurement of what makes us us. From these endeavors have emerged a selection of questionnaires that purport to measure our personality, which we can then use to help us determine what will likely make us happy or unhappy, in which environments will we thrive, what methods of communications we respond best to, and-in general-who we are.

Author: Jen Lumanlan
Narrator: Jen Lumanlan
Do your children resist doing every single thing you ask them to do? Is getting in the car seat (or toothbrushing or sugar or screen time) a constant challenge? Discover how to make parenting easier-and raise liberated children who will grow up to change the world. Our children don't really learn about White supremacy, patriarchy, and capitalism from what we tell them; they learn it from how we interact with them every day. Research-based parenting educator Jen Lumanlan offers The Problem-Solving Approach, a simple yet revolutionary framework for rethinking our relationships with children. Even conventional discipline methods like time-outs, countdowns, and "consequences" teach children that more powerful people can control others-a lesson they take out into the world.

Free Download Paddy Mayne: Lt Col Blair 'Paddy' Mayne, 1 SAS Regiment (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CD8YN828 | 2023 | 11 hours and 36 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 331 MB
Author: Hamish Ross
Narrator: Alan Turkington
'Paddy' Mayne was one of the most outstanding special forces leaders of the Second World War. Hamish Ross's authoritative study follows Mayne from solicitor and a rugby international to troop commander in the Commandos and then the SAS, whose leader he later became and whose annals he graced, winning the DSO and three bars, the Croix de Guerre and the Légion d'Honneur. Mayne's achievements attracted attention, and after his early death legends emerged, based largely on anecdote and assertion. Hamish Ross's closely researched biography challenges much of the received version, using contemporary sources, the official war diaries, the chronicle of 1 SAS, Mayne's papers and diaries, and a number of extended interviews with key contemporaries. It has the support of the Mayne family and the SAS Regimental Association. In Ross's analysis Mayne is a dynamic, yet principled and thoughtful man, committed to the unit's original concepts; not flawless, but whose leadership qualities and tactical brilliance in the field secured the reputation of the SAS.

Free Download Operation Chiffon: The Secret Story of MI5 and MI6 and the Road to Peace in Ireland (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: N/A | 2023 | 11 hours and 52 minutes | MP3@128 kbps | 654 MB
Author: Peter Taylor
Narrator: Peter Taylor
On the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, Peter Taylor tells for the first time the gripping story of Operation Chiffon, MI5's top-secret intelligence operation that helped bring peace to Ireland. April 1998: the Good Friday Agreement is signed, ending decades of violence and bloodshed in Northern Ireland. The process of getting the IRA to end its so-called 'armed struggle' was always the prerequisite of the search for peace. It was Operation Chiffon that finally helped make it possible. Operation Chiffon takes us inside the top-secret intelligence operation whose roots go back to the bloodiest years of the conflict in the early 1970s, involving officers from MI6 and, later in the 1990s, MI5.

Free Download On Purpose: Ten Lessons on the Meaning of Life (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0C7WJS5CN | 2023 | 5 hours and 30 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 292 MB
Author: Ben Hutchinson
Narrator: Richard Burnip
How do we live successfully? How do we live fully? Identifying the meaning of life and where we are heading preoccupies all of us at some stage or another. Who better to help us articulate this sense of direction than the most articulate people among us? Writers and thinkers, Ben Hutchinson suggests in this sparkling new book, help us reflect on purpose. Interweaving his own (mis-)adventures with those of major authors such as T.S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf and R.M. Rilke, Hutchinson proposes ten ways in which reading and writing encourage us to ask difficult questions, project our minds into the past and future, and see ourselves and others differently. Engaging and aphoristic, this book is for anyone who finds themselves wondering how to live more mindfully, more forcefully - more fully.
