Eastwood, Liam Gerrard English | 2020 | ISBN: B089CBSJZ5 | Format: MP3 / Bitrate: 64 Kbps / 5 hours and 46 minutes | 158 Mb We avoid boredom at all costs. It makes us feel restless and agitated. Desperate for something to do, we play games on our phones, retie our shoes, or even count ceiling tiles. And if we escape it this time, eventually it will strike again. But what if we listened to boredom instead of banishing it?Psychologists James Danckert and John Eastwood contend that boredom isn't bad for us. It's just that we do a bad job of heeding its guidance. When we're bored, our minds are telling us that whatever we are doing isn't working - we're failing to satisfy our basic psychological need to be engaged and effective. Too many of us respond poorly.We become prone to accidents, risky activities, loneliness, and ennui, and we waste ever more time on technological distractions. But, Danckert and Eastwood argue, we can let boredom have the opposite effect, motivating the change we need. The latest research suggests that an adaptive approach to boredom will help us avoid its troubling effects and, through its reminder to become aware and involved, boredom might lead us to live fuller lives. Out of My Skull combines scientific findings with everyday observations to explain an experience we'd like to ignore, but from which we have a lot to learn. Boredom evolved to help us. It's time we gave it a chance. ![]() Free Download Our Vietnam Wars (4 book series) by William F. Brown, Eddie Frierson English | 2021 | ISBN: B07Q62LXK6 | Format: M4B / Bitrate: 128 Kbps | 2.26 Gb This could be the most important audiobook you'll listen to this year. It isn't another war story. It is an audiobook about people, and it contains the personal stories of 100 Vietnam veterans who served there. Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines from the late 1950s to 1975, we served from the Delta to the DMZ, and from Thailand to Yankee Station in the South China Sea. Infantry grunts, truck drivers, medics, helicopter pilots, nurses, clerk typists, jet pilots, mechanics, staff officers, repairmen, artillerymen, B-52 bombardiers, MPs, and doctors, we were black, white, and Hispanic, male and female. We were only in our teens and early 20s, but our stories continue to resonate through the years. January 30 marked the 50th anniversary of the Tet Offensive, the seminal event of a war that dominated my generation and changed lives. Some of the men and women in this audiobook are true war heroes. Most were just trying to survive. If you were there, you understand. If you weren't, my hope is that through these stories, you will. ![]() Free Download Our Polyvagal World: How Safety and Trauma Change Us by Stephen W. Porges, Seth Porges, Paul Boehmer English | 2023 | ISBN: B0CJRXSPP7 | Format: M4B / Bitrate: 64 Kbps / 8 hours and 21 minutes + EPUB | 236 Mb The creator of the Polyvagal Theory explains the principles in simple terms that are accessible to all. Since Stephen Porges first proposed the Polyvagal Theory in 1994, its basic idea-that the level of safety we feel impacts our health and happiness-has radically shifted how researchers and clinicians approach trauma interventions and therapeutic interactions. Yet despite its wide acceptance, most of the writing on the topic has been obscured behind clinical texts and scientific jargon. Our Polyvagal World definitively presents how Polyvagal Theory can be understandable to all and demonstrates how its practical principles are applicable to anyone looking to live their safest, best, healthiest, and happiest life. What emerges is a worldview filled with optimism and hope, and an understanding as to why our bodies sometimes act in ways our brains wish they didn't. ![]() Free Download Brett Christophers, Mike Cooper (Narrator), "Our Lives in Their Portfolios: Why Asset Managers Own the World" English | ASIN: B0CQ117FVX | 2023 | MP3@64 kbps | ~10:21:00 | 294 MB Banks have taken a backseat since the global financial crisis over a decade ago.

How does it work? What is the universe and how was it formed? What is life? Where do we come from and how did we evolve? How and why do we think? What does it mean to be human? How do we know? There are many different versions of our creation story. This book tells the version according to modern science. It is a unique account, starting at the Big Bang and travelling right up to the emergence of humans as conscious intelligent beings, 13.8 billion years later. Chapter by chapter, it sets out the current state of scientific knowledge: the origins of space and time; energy, mass, and light; galaxies, stars, and our sun; the habitable earth, and complex life itself. Drawing together the physical and biological sciences, Baggott recounts what we currently know of our history, highlighting the questions science has yet to answer.

In the 19th century, the British East India Company operated a triangle of trade that straddled the globe, running from India to China to Britain. From India to China, they took opium. From China to Britain, they took tea. From Britain to India, they brought empire. It was a machine that consumed cheap Indian land and labor and spat out money. The British had two problems, though. They were importing enormous amounts of tea from China, but the Celestial Empire looked down on British goods and only wanted silver in return. Simultaneously, the expanding colony in India was proving far too expensive to maintain. The British solved both problems with opium, which became the source of income on which they built their empire. ![]() Free Download Operation Mincemeat: The True Spy Story that Changed the Course of World War II Author: Ben Macintyre | Narrator: John Lee July 19, 2010 | English | ASIN: B00NTM64BU | 11 hrs 18 mins | M4B & MP3 @63 kbps 308 to 311.5 MB | Unabridged | Retail April, 1943: A sardine fisherman spots the corpse of a British soldier floating in the sea off the coast of Spain and sets off a train of events that would change the course of the Second World War. ![]() Free Download On the Path to Enlightenment: Heart Advice From the Great Tibetan Masters (Audiobook) English | December 09, 2014 | ASIN: B00OTWCZSK | M4B@64 kbps | 6h 17m | 171 MB Author: Matthieu Ricard | Narrator: Edoardo Ballerini Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche inspired Matthieu Ricard to create this anthology by telling him that "when we come to appreciate the depth of the view of the eight great traditions [of Tibetan Buddhism] and also see that they all lead to the same goal without contradicting each other, we think, 'Only ignorance can lead us to adopt a sectarian view.'" Ricard has selected and translated some of the most profound and inspiring teachings from across these traditions. The selected teachings are taken from the sources of the traditions, including the Buddha himself, Nagarjuna, Guru Rinpoche, Atisha, Shantideva, and Asanga; from great masters of the past, including Thogme Zangpo, the Fifth Dalai Lama, Milarepa, Longchenpa, and Sakya Pandita; and from contemporary masters, including the Fourteenth Dalai Lama and Mingyur Rinpoche. They address such topics as the nature of the mind; the foundations of taking refuge, generating altruistic compassion, acquiring merit, and following a teacher; view, meditation, and action; and how to remove obstacles and make progress on the path. ![]() Free Download On Benefits (Audiobook) English | May 25, 2023 | ASIN: B0C5F55QH1 | M4B@128 kbps | 8h 49m | 481 MB Author: Lucius Annaeus Seneca | Narrator: Mike Rogers The original Latin name of this important essay by Seneca, written around 60 CE, was De Beneficiis, which is why it is generally translated as 'On Benefits'. However, it is more usefully titled 'On Favours', because this is what it is essentially аbout: the giving and receiving of favours, with all the implications of such transactions. Seneca is concerned with demonstrating that while such exchanges can be straightforward and beneficial to both parties, often there are pitfalls and hidden complications that, sooner or later, result in problems. Though some centuries later Shakespeare summed it up concisely with Polonius's warning: 'Neither a borrower nor a lender be,' Seneca is well aware that in all levels and activities of society, benefits or favours play an undoubtedly crucial role. This was certainly true of Roman society, but little has changed since. Seneca deals with the subject in detail, considering the purposes of role of the giver, of which 'kindness', he says, is an important aspect-but not the only one by any means. Similarly, the role and attitude of the receiver, plays its part-and 'gratitude' is again only one response. |
