Author: Patrick Mackie
Narrator: Julian Elfer
Mozart is one of the most familiar and beloved icons of our culture, but how much do we really understand of his music, and what can it reveal to us about the great composer? Following Mozart from his youth in Salzburg to his early death; from his close and rivalrous relationship with his father to his romantic attachments; from his hugely successful operas to intimate compositions on the keyboard, Patrick Mackie leads the listener through the major and lesser-known moments of the composer's life and brings alive the teeming, swiveling modernity of eighteenth-century Europe.

Author: Jenni Nuttall
Narrator: Beth Hicks
An enlightening linguistic journey through a thousand years of feminist language-and what we can learn from the vivid vocabulary that English once had for women's bodies, experiences, and sexuality. So many of the words that we use to chronicle women's lives feel awkward or alien. Medical terms are scrupulously accurate but antiseptic. Slang and obscenities have shock value, yet they perpetuate taboos. Where are the plain, honest words for women's daily lives? Mother Tongue is a historical investigation of feminist language and thought, from the dawn of Old English to the present day. Dr. Jenni Nuttall guides listeners through the evolution of words that we have used to describe female bodies, menstruation, women's sexuality, the consequences of male violence, childbirth, women's paid and unpaid work, and gender.

Author: Nicholas Epley
Narrator: Nicholas Epley
You are a mind reader, born with an extraordinary ability to understand what others think, feel, believe, want, and know. It's a sixth sense you use every day, in every personal and professional relationship you have. At its best, this ability allows you to achieve the most important goal in almost any life: connecting, deeply and intimately and honestly, to other human beings. At its worst, it is a source of misunderstanding and unnecessary conflict, leading to damaged relationships and broken dreams. How good are you at knowing the minds of others? How well can you guess what others think of you, know who really likes you, or tell when someone is lying? How well do you really understand the minds of those closest to you, from your spouse to your kids to your best friends? Do you really know what your coworkers, employees, competitors, or clients want?

Free Download Mindfulness for Pain Relief (Audiobook)

Author: Fadel Zeidan, The Great Courses
Narrator: Fadel Zeidan
Pain, to put it plainly, hurts. And it hurts for a reason. Our bodies use the experience of pain to tell us that something's inherently wrong-and needs to be fixed. So, it may shock you to learn that pain can be a source of transcendent experience just as much as it can be a source of great suffering. The secret lies in mindfulness meditation, which has been scientifically proven to change the impact of pain on our consciousness. Fadel Zeidan, director of the University of California, San Diego, Brain Mechanisms of Pain and Health Laboratory, is an expert on the neural mechanisms that support mindfulness- and meditation-based pain relief. In his Audible Original, Mindfulness for Pain Relief, he shows you how mindfulness meditation-even for short periods of time-can bring your experience of pain under control. You'll explore the nature of mindfulness from the teachings of the Buddha to the present day; how meditation can help us battle the chronic pain epidemic; what a brain looks like during the experience of meditation; and even a guided mindfulness meditation exercise designed to help increase your well-being.

Narrator: Carrie Dennett
What did you eat at your last meal? Can you recall the flavor, the aroma, the temperature, the texture? Could you describe it in detail? If any of the specifics of that meal elude you now, then you were probably eating mindlessly. We've all experienced mindless eating. Engaging in conversation during dinner, snacking while engrossed in a movie, or simply rushing through a meal to get to where we need to be can't always be avoided. But by understanding the principles and practices of mindful eating, we can apply them when possible and enjoy our eating experiences that much more.

Author: Fergus Craik, Larry Jacoby
Narrator: William Sarris
A short, accessible primer on human memory, its workings, feats, and flaws, by two leading psychological researchers.

In this compact introduction, two leading psychological researchers describe memory-how it works and why it sometimes doesn't; how it can be tricked, trained, or improved; and what changes with time. In a manner as engaging as it is informative, Fergus Craik and Larry Jacoby explain the strengths and weaknesses of memory.

Author: Alfred F. Young
Narrator: Kate Mulligan
The remarkable story of the woman who fought in the American Revolution as Robert Shurtliff-and got away with it. Serving for seventeen months during the period between the British surrender at Yorktown and the signing of the final treaty, a time when peace was far from secure, Deborah Sampson accomplished her deception by becoming an outstanding soldier. Alfred Young shows us why she did it and exactly how she carried it off. He meticulously reconstructs her early life as an indentured servant; her young adulthood as a weaver, teacher, and religious rebel; and her military career in the light infantry-consisting of dangerous patrols and small-party encounters, duty that demanded constant vigilance-followed by service as an orderly to a general at West Point.

Should we legalize marijuana? If we legalize, what in particular should be legal? Just possessing marijuana and growing your own? Selling and advertising? If selling becomes legal, who gets to sell? Corporations? Co-ops? The government? What regulations should apply? How high should taxes be? Different forms of legalization could bring very different results. This second edition of Marijuana Legalization: What Everyone Needs to Know discusses what is happening with marijuana policy, describing both the risks and the benefits of using marijuana, without taking sides in the legalization debate. The book details the potential gains and losses from legalization, explores the "middle ground" options between prohibition and commercialized production, and considers the likely impacts of legal marijuana on occasional users, daily users, patients, parents, and employers-and even on drug traffickers.

Up to 90% of adults in the US will experience one or more traumatic events in their lifetimes, including interpersonal violence, traffic collisions, and sexual assault.

Making Meaning of Difficult Experiences is a self-guided mental health resource for people who have had potentially traumatic experiences and who wish to work through them independently, outside of a formal therapeutic setting.
