Listen to this succinct account of the philosophy of Machiavelli in just one hour. Niccolò Machiavelli’s work remains misunderstood – synonymous with wicked scheming and underhand politics – nearly 350 years after his death. His philosophy of statecraft was scientific and highly rational, leaving sentiment, and ultimately morality, to one side. His advice is as relevant to modern politics as it was during the Renaissance – and reflects many profound and disturbing truths about the human condition.

Listen to this succinct account of the philosophy of Kant in just one hour. Immanuel Kant taught and wrote prolifically about physical geography yet never travelled farther than forty miles from his home in Königsberg. Appropriately, his philosophy strenuously denies that all knowledge is derived from experience, insisting instead that all experience must conform to knowledge. Kant’s aim was to restore metaphysics. According to Kant, space and time are subjective; along with various ‘categories,’ they help us to see the phenomena of the world – though never in its true reality.

Title: Rousseau: Philosophy in an Hour Author: Paul Strathern Narrator: Jonathan Keeble Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 35 minutes Release date: August 29, 2013 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Philosophy for busy people. Listen to this succinct account of the philosophy of Rousseau in just one hour. In Rousseau we encounter a walking ego, a naked sensibility – his arguments are both deeply stirring and deeply inconsistent. Yet whilst his contemporaries Kant and Hume may have been superior academic philosophers, the sheer power of Rousseau’s ideas was unequalled in his time. It was he who encouraged the introduction of both liberty and irrationality into the public domain, lamenting how ‘man is born free but everywhere he is in chains’. This audiobook is an expert account of Rousseau’s life and philosophical ideas – entertainingly written and above all easy to listen to. Also included are selections from Rousseau’s work, suggested further reading, and chronologies that place Rousseau in the context of the broader scheme of philosophy.

Aiming to wound, a schoolmaster wrote on future design-guru Stephen Bayley’s last ever school report “Charm alone will not get him through”. Bayley took this to mean that an affable, genial, outgoing nature was not enough to ensure survival in a harsh world of statistical performance. But survive and flourish is exactly what Bayley did and now he aims to define Charm by looking at its origins and meanings throughout history and in the modern age.

Title: How to Win an Argument: An Ancient Guide to the Art of Persuasion Author: Marcus Tullius Cicero Narrator: Simon Vance Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 3 minutes Release date: September 27, 2016 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 3 of Total 2 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: All of us are faced countless times with the challenge of persuading others, whether we're trying to win a trivial argument with a friend or convince our coworkers about an important decision. Instead of relying on untrained instinct—and often failing as a result—we'd win more arguments if we learned the timeless art of verbal persuasion, rhetoric. How to Win an Argument gathers the rhetorical wisdom of Cicero from across his works and combines it with passages from his legal and political speeches to show his powerful techniques in action. The result is an enlightening and practical introduction to the secrets of persuasive speaking and writing—including strategies that are just as effective in today's offices, schools, courts, and political debates as they were in the Roman forum. How to Win an Argument addresses proof based on rational argumentation, character, and emotion; the parts of speech; the plain, middle, and grand styles; how to persuade no matter what audience or circumstances you face; and more. Astonishingly relevant, this anthology of Cicero's rhetorical and oratorical wisdom will be enjoyed by anyone who ever needs to win arguments and influence people.

Why do we value art as we do? What does art reveal about our nature? Drawing on philosophy, art history, and cognitive science, and making provocative use of examples from all three of these fields, Noë offers new answers to such questions. He also shows why recent efforts to frame questions about art in terms of neuroscience and evolutionary biology alone have been and will continue to be unsuccessful.

Title: The Devil’s Pleasure Palace: The Cult of Critical Theory and the Subversion of the West Author: Michael Walsh Narrator: Michael Walsh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 26 minutes Release date: September 29, 2015 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: In the aftermath of World War II, America stood alone as the world's premier military power. Yet its martial confidence contrasted vividly with its sense of cultural inferiority. Still looking to a defeated and dispirited Europe for intellectual and artistic guidance, burgeoning trans-national elite in New York and Washington embraced not only the war's refugees but many of their ideas as well, and nothing has proven more pernicious than those of the Frankfurt School and its reactionary philosophy of 'critical theory.' At once overly intellectualized and emotionally juvenile, Critical Theory—like Pandora's Box—released a horde of demons into the American psyche. When everything could be questioned, nothing could be real, and the muscular, confident empiricism that had just won the war gave way, in less than a generation, to a central-European nihilism celebrated on college campuses across the United States. In The Devil's Pleasure Palace Michael Walsh looks at how Critical Theory took root in America and came to affect nearly every aspect of American life and society—and what can be done to stop it.

At once overly intellectualized and emotionally juvenile, Critical Theory—like Pandora's Box—released a horde of demons into the American psyche. When everything could be questioned, nothing could be real, and the muscular, confident empiricism that had just won the war gave way, in less than a generation, to a central-European nihilism celebrated on college campuses across the United States. In The Devil's Pleasure Palace Michael Walsh looks at how Critical Theory took root in America and came to affect nearly every aspect of American life and society—and what can be done to stop it.

Title: Reputation: What Is It and Why It Matters Author: Noga Arikha, Stephen Holmes, Gloria Origgi Narrator: Andrea Gallo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 39 minutes Release date: December 5, 2017 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A compelling exploration of how reputation affects every aspect of contemporary life Reputation touches almost everything, guiding our behavior and choices in countless ways. But it is also shrouded in mystery. Why is it so powerful when the criteria by which people and things are defined as good or bad often appear to be arbitrary? Why do we care so much about how others see us that we may even do irrational and harmful things to try to influence their opinion? In this engaging book, Gloria Origgi draws on philosophy, social psychology, sociology, economics, literature, and history to offer an illuminating account of an important yet oddly neglected subject. Origgi examines the influence of the Internet and social media, as well as the countless ranking systems that characterize modern society and contribute to the creation of formal and informal reputations in our social relations, in business, in politics, in academia, and even in wine. She highlights the importance of reputation to the effective functioning of the economy and e-commerce. Origgi also discusses the existential significance of our obsession with reputation, concluding that an awareness of the relationship between our reputation and our actions empowers us to better understand who we are and why we do what we do. Compellingly written and filled with surprising insights, Reputation pins down an elusive subject that affects everyone. Author bio: Gloria Origgi, a Paris-based philosopher, is a senior researcher at the Institut Jean Nicod at the National Center for Scientific Research. Her books include one on trust and another on the future of writing on the Internet. She maintains a blog in English, French, and Italian at gloriaoriggi.blogspot.com.

Title: The Great Divorce Author: C.S. Lewis Narrator: Julian Rhind-Tutt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 22 minutes Release date: August 21, 2014 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 4 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: C.S. Lewis’s dazzling allegory about heaven and hell – and the chasm fixed between them – is one of his most brilliantly imaginative tales, as he takes issue with the ideas in William Blake’s ‘The Marriage of Heaven and Hell’. In a dream, the narrator boards a bus on a drizzly afternoon and embarks on an incredible voyage through Heaven and Hell. He meets a host of supernatural beings far removed from his expectations, from the disgruntled, ghostly inhabitants of Hell to the angels and souls who dwell on the plains of Heaven. This powerful, exquisitely written fantasy is one of C.S. Lewis’s most enduring works of fiction and a profound meditation on good and evil. C.S.

Title: Miracles Author: C.S. Lewis Narrator: Julian Rhind-Tutt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 23 minutes Release date: August 21, 2014 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: ‘The central miracle asserted by Christians is the Incarnation. They say that God became Man. Every other miracle prepares the way for this, or results from this.’ This is the key statement of ‘Miracles’, in which C. S. Lewis shows that a Christian must not only accept but rejoice in miracles as a testimony of the unique personal involvement of God in his creation. Using his characteristic lucidity and wit to develop his argument, Lewis challenges the rationalists, agnostics and deists on their own grounds and provides a poetic and joyous affirmation that miracles really do occur in our everyday lives.

Title: Trigger Warning: Is the Fear of Being Offensive Killing Free Speech? Author: Mick Hume Narrator: Steven Crossley Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 45 minutes Release date: June 18, 2015 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: In this blistering polemic, veteran journalist Mick Hume presents an uncompromising defence of freedom of expression, which he argues is threatened in the West, not by jackbooted censorship but by a creeping culture of conformism and You-Can’t-Say-That. The cold-blooded murder of the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists in January 2015 brought a deadly focus to the issue of free speech. Leaders of the free-thinking world united in condemning the killings, proclaiming ‘Je suis Charlie’. But it wasn’t long before many commentators were arguing that the massacre showed the need to apply limits to free speech and to restrict the right to be offensive. It has become fashionable not only to declare yourself offended by what somebody else says, but to use the ‘offence card’ to demand that they be prevented from saying it. Social media websites such as Twitter have become the scene of ‘twitch hunts’ where online mobs hunt down trolls and other heretics who express the ‘wrong’ opinion. And Trigger Warnings and other measures to ‘protect’ sensitive students from potentially offensive material have spread from American universities across the Atlantic and the internet. Hume argues that without freedom of expression, our other liberties would not be possible. Against the background of the historic fight for free speech, Trigger Warning identifies the new threats facing it today and spells out how unfettered freedom of expression, despite the pain and the problems it entails, remains the most important liberty of all.

Title: What the Hell Is Wrong with You Black People?: Do Black Americans Understand they are Facing Self-Destruction? Author: Raymond Sturgis Narrator: John Flore Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 11 minutes Release date: November 18, 2017 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The condition of African Americans today is quite alarming and disturbing. African Americans have an enormous amount of contributions from their ancestors to advance in positive and productive directions. However, black Americans' advancement in technology, science, music, arts, and business is overshadowed by black-on-black crime and poor family values. What is the reason why so many black people have lost respect, hope, and pride in the very achievements that enable them to enrich their children's future? Where is the love and pride that can elevate blacks to support black businesses, housing. and human life? What the Hell Is Wrong with You Black People? is asking a question of the murderers and deviants of black communities, to dysfunctional families and hopeless youth who feel they have no contributions to their race. The world will always have a microscope on blacks in America, because for centuries blacks have inspired other minorities and victims of discrimination to believe that they, too, can overcome. Today, African Americans are more concerned about surviving the violence in their neighborhoods than creating businesses, enriching children's minds with love, or fighting for better schools. African Americans are too preoccupied with crime and poor economic conditions to save their children from hopelessness and low self-esteem. The future of today's youth depends on how well we encourage their dreams of success, and if the only dream they have is surviving gun violence, where does that leave African Americans' future? How many deaths will it take for African Americans to understand their plight?

African Americans are too preoccupied with crime and poor economic conditions to save their children from hopelessness and low self-esteem. The future of today's youth depends on how well we encourage their dreams of success, and if the only dream they have is surviving gun violence, where does that leave African Americans' future? How many deaths will it take for African Americans to understand their plight? https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/312991 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/312991]]> to listen full audiobooks.

A conservative is fundamentally passive. He does not want to change, but when change happens, he simply adjusts his conservatism to the new norm. A Right-winger is fundamentally active.

Title: Fragile Lives: A Heart Surgeon’s Stories of Life and Death on the Operating Table Author: Stephen Westaby Narrator: Gordon Griffin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 26 minutes Release date: February 9, 2017 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: SHORTLISTED FOR THE COSTA BIOGRAPHY PRIZE THE SUNDAY TIMES NO.2 BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE BMA PRESIDENT’S AWARD 2017 An incredible memoir from one of the world’s most eminent heart surgeons, recalling some of the most remarkable and poignant cases he’s worked on. Grim Reaper sits on the heart surgeon’s shoulder. A slip of the hand and life ebbs away. The balance between life and death is so delicate, and the heart surgeon walks that rope between the two. In the operating room there is no time for doubt. It is flesh, blood, rib-retractors and pumping the vital organ with your bare hand to squeeze the life back into it. An off-day can have dire consequences – this job has a steep learning curve, and the cost is measured in human life. Cardiac surgery is not for the faint of heart. Professor Stephen Westaby took chances and pushed the boundaries of heart surgery. He saved hundreds of lives over the course of a thirty-five year career and now, in his astounding memoir, Westaby details some of his most remarkable and poignant cases – such as the baby who had suffered multiple heart attacks by six months old, a woman who lived the nightmare of locked-in syndrome, and a man whose life was powered by a battery for eight years. A powerful, important and incredibly moving book, Fragile Lives offers an exceptional insight into the exhilarating and sometimes tragic world of heart surgery, and how it feels to hold someone’s life in your hands.

Title: Revolting!: How the Establishment are Undermining Democracy and What They’re Afraid Of Author: Mick Hume Narrator: Andy Cresswell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 43 minutes Release date: February 23, 2017 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A short, sharp intervention in the crucial debate about the future of democracy, which has been brought to a head by events from Brexit to the Trump phenomenon. We live in strange days in the history of democracy. Every serious politician in the Western world supports democracy. Yet when the EU Referendum and American Elections both delivered the ‘wrong’ result, elites challenged the merit of the people’s will, and some even tried to block it. Preferring unelected institutions, from technocrats to the courts, self-appointed higher minds questioned whether voters are fit to be trusted with their own futures. Ours is the age of “I support democracy, but…” And yet the answer will never be to impose limitations. Popular democracy must offer better choices, rather than removing choice altogether. It’s time to defend democracy and fight for more it, with no ifs, buts or backtracks.

Title: The Communist Manifesto Author: Friedrich Engels Narrator: Matt Montanez Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 13 minutes Release date: October 29, 2017 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 1 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The Communist Manifesto was conceived as an outline of the basic beliefs of the Communist movement. The authors believed that the European Powers were universally afraid of the nascent movement, and were condemning as "communist," people or activities that did not actually conform to what the Communists believed. This Manifesto, then, became a manual for their beliefs. In it we find Marx and Engel's rehearsal of the idea that Capital has stolen away the work of the artisan and peasant by building up factories to produce goods cheaply. The efficiency of Capital depends, then, on the wage laborers who staff the factories and how little they will accept in order to have work. This concentrates power and money in a Bourgeois class that profits from the disunity of workers (Proletarians), who only receive a subsistence wage. If workers unite in a class struggle against the bourgeois, using riot and strikes as weapons, they will eventually overthrow the bourgeois and replace them as a ruling class. Communists further believe in and lay out a system of reforms to transform into a classless, stateless society, thus distinguishing themselves from various flavors of Socialism, which would be content to have workers remain the ruling class after the revolution. The Manifesto caused a huge amount of discussion for its support for a forcible overthrow of the existing politics and society....

Title: The Sentient Machine: The Coming Age of Artificial Intelligence Author: Amir Husain Narrator: Simon Jones Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 46 minutes Release date: November 21, 2017 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.5 of Total 2 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: “A must-read for anyone looking to understand how artificial intelligence is poised to transform human society and life.” —Paul Scharre, Author of Four Battlegrounds: Power in the Age of Artificial Intelligence The future is now. Acclaimed technologist and inventor Amir Husain explains how we can live amidst the coming age of sentient machines and artificial intelligence—and not only survive, but thrive. Artificial “machine” intelligence is playing an ever-greater role in our society. We are already using cruise control in our cars, automatic checkout at the drugstore, and are unable to live without our smartphones. The discussion around AI is polarized; people think either machines will solve all problems for everyone, or they will lead us down a dark, dystopian path into total human irrelevance. Regardless of what you believe, the idea that we might bring forth intelligent creation can be intrinsically frightening. But what if our greatest role as humans so far is that of creators? Amir Husain, a brilliant inventor and computer scientist, argues that we are on the cusp of writing our next, and greatest, creation myth. It is the dawn of a new form of intellectual diversity, one that we need to embrace in order to advance the state of the art in many critical fields, including security, resource management, finance, and energy. “In The Sentient Machine, Husain prepares us for a brighter future; not with hyperbole about right and wrong, but with serious arguments about risk and potential” (Dr. Greg Hyslop, Chief Technology Officer, The Boeing Company). He addresses broad existential questions surrounding the coming of AI: Why are we valuable? What can we create in this world? How are we intelligent? What constitutes progress for us? And how might we fail to progress? Husain boils down complex computer science and AI concepts into clear, plainspoken language and draws from a wide variety of cultural and historical references to illustrate his points. Ultimately, Husain challenges many of our societal norms and upends assumptions we hold about “the good life.” Amir Husain Tue, 21 Nov 2017 01:28:13 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/309195 thebookvoice.com 5:46:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/309195]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Secret Life of the Mind: How Our Brain Thinks, Feels and Decides Author: Mariano Sigman Narrator: Peter Noble Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 10 minutes Release date: June 1, 2017 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: • Where do our thoughts come from? • How can we manipulate our dreams? • What is the role of the unconscious? • How do we make choices and trust the judgement of both others and ourselves? These are some of the questions answered in this groundbreaking, personal and comprehensive guide about our thoughts. In this provocative, mind-bending international bestseller, prize-winning neuroscientist Mariano Sigman reveals his life’s work exploring the inner workings of the human brain. Sigman's ambition is to explain the mind so that we can understand ourselves and others more deeply. He shows how we form ideas during our first days of life, how we give shape to our fundamental decisions, how we dream and imagine, why we feel certain emotions, how the brain transforms and how who we are changes with it. Sigman looks at the development of language, how bilingualism helps us to think and our notions of what is good and fair develop far earlier than we think. Building on his awe-inspiring TED talk and spanning biology, physics, philosophy and medicine as well as gastronomy, magic, music, chess, literature and art, The Secret Life of the Mind revolutionizes how neuroscience serves us in our lives, revealing how the infinity of neurons inside our brains manufacture how we perceive, reason, feel, dream and communicate.

He shows how we form ideas during our first days of life, how we give shape to our fundamental decisions, how we dream and imagine, why we feel certain emotions, how the brain transforms and how who we are changes with it. Sigman looks at the development of language, how bilingualism helps us to think and our notions of what is good and fair develop far earlier than we think. Building on his awe-inspiring TED talk and spanning biology, physics, philosophy and medicine as well as gastronomy, magic, music, chess, literature and art, The Secret Life of the Mind revolutionizes how neuroscience serves us in our lives, revealing how the infinity of neurons inside our brains manufacture how we perceive, reason, feel, dream and communicate.

Why is there never enough? How can you make it yours again? On Time reveals why time sped up, why there never seems to be enough, and how to make it yours again. We have more time than ever – so why do we feel time poor? This is because our world is addicted to fast and we have become its servant.

Title: Compelling Reason Author: C.S. Lewis Narrator: Peter Noble Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 25 minutes Release date: June 15, 2017 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: ‘You can only find out the rights and wrongs by Reasoning – never by being rude about your opponent’s psychology.’ For C. S. Lewis, reason and logic are the sensible way to approach faith and ethics. Much of the 20th century’s ills are caused by ill-founded beliefs and opinions. Lewis’s original approach remains as vital today as ever. He is able to take the most convoluted subject, turn it side on and shed bright illumination on it. To be able to see along things rather than at them – just like a beam of sunlight that invades the darkness of a toolshed – is, to Lewis, the way to understanding. Written variously between 1940 and 1962, this collection of essays represents the best of Lewis’s considerable wisdom on the great ethical and theological concerns of the day. C.S.

Title: Screwtape Proposes a Toast Author: C.S. Lewis Narrator: Peter Noble Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 3 minutes Release date: July 13, 2017 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The only official sequel, penned by Lewis himself, to the ever-popular ‘Screwtape Letters’ – published alongside other short essays. One of the most popular books ever to come from the pen of C.S. Lewis was written in the name of Screwtape, a senior devil, experienced in the art of luring his ‘patients’ on earth to their own damnation in service of ‘our father below’ – and training others to do the same. Screwtape’s correspondence with his nephew, an apprentice devil, came into Lewis’s hands, he said, by a route he would not disclose, and many a reader has finished the collection longing for more of the insights they gained from its wisdom. Much to Lewis’s resistance, this after-dinner speech, given by Screwtape to a graduating class of demons at a college in hell, came to light a few years after the publication of the original letters. Now 75 years later, the speech is reproduced in full once more, along with a short collection of Lewis’s other lesser-known, but perennial works. Many people will have forgotten about the only official ‘sequel’ that exists to Screwtape; the 75th anniversary of Screwtape’s publication is the perfect opportunity to bring this back. C.S.

The theses were written in 1845, but not published until 1888 (five years after Marx's death), with slight modifications by Friedrich Engels. The original text was published in 1924.

In political thought they sit at the heart of theories of human nature and the social contract; in economics in the pursuit of self interest; and in science the idea of human beings as machines, which originates in the seventeenth century, is a today a potent force. Far from being the opposite of science, however, Midgley argues that myth is a central part of it. Myths are neither lies nor mere stories but a network of powerful symbols for interpreting the world. Tackling a dazzling array of subjects such as philosophy, evolutionary psychology, animals, consciousness and the environment in her customary razor-sharp prose, The Myths We Live By reminds us of the powerful role of symbolism and the need to take our imaginative life seriously.

''All people are united in the pursuit of happiness and the desire to avoid suffering,'' His Holiness reminds us. ''This is the source of humanity’s greatest achievements.'' Our development relies on cooperation, not competition. We need to begin to think and act on ''we humans''—we must stop focusing on what divides us and recognize our commonalities. Without secular ethics—what Albert Schweitzer referred to as ''reverence for life''—we cannot solve all the problems we face. Working with trusted collaborator Franz Alt, the Dalai Lama calls on the better angels of our nature to tackle a wide range of contemporary issues, from war, violence, and intolerance to climate change, global hunger, and materialism. Applying the techniques and teachings of Tibetan Buddhism—from listening and contemplation to meditation and nonviolence—His Holiness provides a roadmap forward. Brief yet profound, An Appeal to the World is an inspiring message of love and optimism that can truly change the world.

Title: Perceptual Intelligence: The Brain’s Secret to Seeing Past Illusion, Misperception, and Self-Deception Author: Brian Boxer Wachler Narrator: Brian Boxer Wachler MD Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 39 minutes Release date: October 17, 2017 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: With the lucid verve and solid scientific grounding of an Oliver Sacks or Malcolm Gladwell, Dr. Brian Boxer Wachler guides listeners on a fascinating tour of the bedrock of our existence—the way our senses perceive everything and everyone in the world around us. Why does one person see Jesus in a shower curtain, get a “bad feeling” about someone they’ve just met, or hear a conversation so differently than the other person? Boxer Wachler describes some of the mysterious medical conditions that cause nonpsychiatric hallucinations and neurological mix-ups, then focuses on how we all receive and interpret the messages of our senses. Practical as well as provocative, Perceptual Intelligence also offers listeners ways to improve their PI, “reality check” their perceptions, and make desired changes in their lives.

Title: Beyond the Messy Truth: How We Came Apart, How We Come Together Author: Van Jones Narrator: Prentice Onayemi Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 17 minutes Release date: October 10, 2017 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 6 Ratings of Narrator: 3 of Total 2 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A passionate manifesto that exposes hypocrisy on both sides of the political divide and points a way out of the tribalism that is tearing America apart—by the CNN political contributor and host hailed as “a star of the 2016 campaign” (The New York Times) who coined the term “whitelash” Van Jones burst into the American consciousness during the 2016 presidential campaign with an unscripted, truth-telling style and an already established history of bridge-building across party lines. His election night commentary became a viral sensation. A longtime progressive activist with deep roots in the conservative South, Jones has made it his mission to challenge voters and viewers to stand in one another’s shoes and disagree constructively. Now, in Beyond the Messy Truth, Jones offers a blueprint for transforming our collective anxiety into meaningful change. Tough on Donald Trump but showing respect and empathy for his supporters, Jones takes aim at the failures of both parties before and after Trump’s victory. He urges both sides to abandon the politics of accusation and focus on real solutions. Calling us to a deeper patriotism, he shows us how to get down to the vital business of solving, together, some of our toughest problems. “The entire national conversation today can be reduced to a simple statement—‘I’m right, and you’re wrong,’” Jones has said. But the truth is messier; both sides have flaws. Both parties have strayed from their highest principles and let down their core constituencies. Rejecting today’s political tribalism, Jones issues a stirring call for a new “bipartisanship from below.” Recognizing that tough challenges require the best wisdom from both liberals and conservatives, he points us toward practical answers to problems that affect us all regardless of region or ideology: rural and inner-city poverty, unemployment, addiction, unfair incarceration, and the devastating effects of the pollution-based economy on both coal country and our urban centers.  In explaining how he arrived at his views, Jones shares behind-the-scenes memories from his decades spent marching and protesting on behalf of working people, inspiring stories of ordinary citizens who became champions of their communities, and little-known examples of cooperation that have risen from the fog of partisan conflict. In his quest for positive solutions, Van Jones encourages us to set fire to our old ways of thinking about politics and come together where the pain is greatest. The audio edition includes a PDF of resources for getting involved and making a difference. Advance praise for Beyond the Messy Truth “Van Jones is a light in the darkness when we need it most. Beyond the Messy Truth breaks with the tribalism of today’s politics and offers us a way forward. In the tradition of the great bridge builders of our past, Van’s love for this country and all its people shines through.”—Cory Booker, U.S. senator, New Jersey “In an age when hardworking families across America are feeling left behind, Van’s commitment to letting other voices be heard is much needed in today’s discourse.”—Rick Santorum, former senator of Pennsylvania and Republican presidential candidate “Whether you agree or disagree with him, Van Jones’s voice has become an integral part of our national political debate. He is one of the most provocative and interesting political figures in the country.”—Bernie Sanders, U.S. senator, Vermont Includes an invaluable resource of contacts, books, media, and organizations for bipartisan bridge-building and problem solving.

Title: On Being Awesome: A Unified Theory of How Not to Suck Author: Nick Riggle Narrator: Nick Riggle Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 10 minutes Release date: September 19, 2017 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A lively philosophical exploration of what it means to be awesome and not suck, and a plea for more awesomeness in our personal, social, and public lives In this engaging, fun, and astute investigation of a thoroughly contemporary condition, philosopher and former pro skater Nick Riggle argues that our collective interest in being awesome (and not sucking) marks a new era in American culture, one that is shaped by relatively recent social, political, and technological shifts. At the core of his work is the idea that awesome people are exemplars of social creativity. We suck when we foil their attempts at creative community building. To be down, game, chill, basic, wack, or a preference dictator are just a handful of ways we can create, respond to, or fail to take up social openings in the office, in public, or with our friends and loved ones. What can the invention of the high five and the history of “cool” tell us about the origins of awesome? Can introverts be awesome? How do our expectations of awesome relate to race, gender, and sexuality? How is our desire for awesomeness shaping our cultural landscape—art, altruism, athletics, and public life? These are just a few of the questions Riggle explores in this accessible, philosophical road trip through the ethos of our time. On Being Awesome articulates a singular and gripping cultural ideal and provides a new and inspiring framework for understanding friendship, success, and happiness in our everyday lives. *Bonus PDF Included with Awesomeness/Suckiness Chart Nick Riggle Tue, 19 Sep 2017 01:28:13 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/303022 thebookvoice.com 5:10:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/303022]]> to listen full audiobooks.

This work is written partly in Arabic and partly in Persian. The Hidden Words is written in the form of a collection of short utterances, 71 in Arabic and 82 in Persian, in which Bahá'u'lláh claims to have taken the basic essence of certain spiritual truths and written them in brief form. Bahá'ís are advised by `Abdu'l-Bahá, the son of Bahá'u'lláh to read them every day and every night and to implement its latent wisdom into their daily lives. He also said that "The Hidden Words is a treasury of divine mysteries" and that when one ponders its contents, "the doors of the mysteries will open." The text of the Hidden Words is divided up into two sections: one from Arabic, and another from Persian. Each consist of several short, numbered passages. The Arabic has 71 passages, and the Persian has 82. This audiobook only contains the Persian section. Each passage begins with an invocation, many of which repeat. Some common invocations include "O Son of Spirit", "O Son of Man", and "O Son of Being". Bahá'í prayers are written in the first person of humanity, so that the reader can feel like they are having a conversation with God. The Hidden Words are written in the first person of God, so that the reader feels like God is speaking to them. Around 1903, Mr. Anton Haddad translated the Persian section of the Hidden Words. It should be noted that this translation was superceded by the more masterful, authorized translation of Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Bahá'í Faith, which has not yet entered the public domain.(Adapted from Wikipedia) Bahá'U'Lláh Sun, 01 Jan 2017 01:28:13 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/302863 thebookvoice.com 0:59:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/302863]]> to listen full audiobooks.

This work is written partly in Arabic and partly in Persian. The Hidden Words is written in the form of a collection of short utterances, 71 in Arabic and 82 in Persian, in which Bahá'u'lláh claims to have taken the basic essence of certain spiritual truths and written them in brief form. Bahá'ís are advised by `Abdu'l-Bahá, the son of Bahá'u'lláh to read them every day and every night and to implement its latent wisdom into their daily lives. He also said that "The Hidden Words is a treasury of divine mysteries" and that when one ponders its contents, "the doors of the mysteries will open." The text of the Hidden Words is divided up into two sections: one from Arabic, and another from Persian. Each consist of several short, numbered passages. The Arabic has 71 passages, and the Persian has 82. This audiobook only contains the Persian section. Each passage begins with an invocation, many of which repeat. Some common invocations include "O Son of Spirit", "O Son of Man", and "O Son of Being".

It has fired our near-pathological pursuit of technological Utopias even as we push ourselves and our planet to the brink of collapse.   Fortunately, an Age of Reunion is emerging out of the birth pangs of an earth in crisis. Our journey of separation hasn't been a terrible mistake but an evolutionary process and an adventure in self-discovery. Even in our darkest hour, Eisenstein sees the possibility of a more beautiful world—not through the extension of millennia-old methods of management and control but by fundamentally reimagining ourselves and our systems. We must shift away from our Babelian efforts to build ever-higher towers to heaven and instead turn out attention to creating a new kind of civilization—one designed for beauty rather than height.

Title: The Futilitarians: Our Year of Thinking, Drinking, Grieving, and Reading Author: Anne Gisleson Narrator: Anne Gisleson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 30 minutes Release date: August 22, 2017 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A memoir of friendship and literature chronicling a search for meaning and comfort in great books, and a beautiful path out of grief. Anne Gisleson had lost her twin sisters, had been forced to flee her home during Hurricane Katrina, and had witnessed cancer take her beloved father. Before she met her husband, Brad, he had suffered his own trauma, losing his partner and the mother of his son to cancer in her young thirties. 'How do we keep moving forward,' Anne asks, 'amid all this loss and threat?' The answer: 'We do it together.' Anne and Brad, in the midst of forging their happiness, found that their friends had been suffering their own losses and crises as well: loved ones gone, rocky marriages, tricky child-rearing, jobs lost or gained, financial insecurities or unexpected windfalls. Together these resilient New Orleanians formed what they called the Existential Crisis Reading Group, which they jokingly dubbed 'The Futilitarians.' From Epicurus to Tolstoy, from Cheever to Amis to Lispector, each month they read and talked about identity, parenting, love, mortality, and life in post-Katrina New Orleans, In the year after her father's death, these living-room gatherings provided a sustenance Anne craved, fortifying her and helping her blaze a trail out of her well-worn grief. More than that, this fellowship allowed her finally to commune with her sisters on the page, and to tell the story of her family that had remained long untold. Written with wisdom, soul, and a playful sense of humor, The Futilitarians is a guide to living curiously and fully, and a testament to the way that even from the toughest soil of sorrow, beauty and wonder can bloom.

More than that, this fellowship allowed her finally to commune with her sisters on the page, and to tell the story of her family that had remained long untold. Written with wisdom, soul, and a playful sense of humor, The Futilitarians is a guide to living curiously and fully, and a testament to the way that even from the toughest soil of sorrow, beauty and wonder can bloom. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/301949 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/301949]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Motivated by his disgust over both slavery and the Mexican-American War, Thoreau argued that individuals must not permit nor enable their government to act against their own consciences.

Title: Walden, or Life in the Woods Author: Henry David Thoreau Narrator: Robert Bethune Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 27 minutes Release date: November 7, 2017 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.57 of Total 7 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: In 1845, noted transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau spent two years, two months, and two days chronicling his near-isolation in the small cabin he built in the woods near Walden Pond on land owned by his mentor, the father of Transcendentalism, Ralph Waldo Emerson. Shedding the trivial ties that he felt bound much of humanity, Thoreau reaped from the land both physically and mentally, and pursued truth in the quiet of nature. In Walden, he explains how separating oneself from the world of men can truly awaken the sleeping self. Thoreau holds fast to the notion that you have not truly existed until you adopt such a lifestyle-and only then can you reenter society, as an enlightened being. Originally published in 1854, Walden remains one of the most celebrated works in American literature.

Title: We Are the Fallen Author: Cage J Madison Narrator: Cage J Madison Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 24 minutes Release date: July 2, 2017 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: The destiny of humanity relies heavily on how everyone reacts to certain events that are now being experienced. There is a desperate need for change within the society and the opportunity for change is NOW! it is humanity's responsibility.~ Cage J Madison So begins the author in a letter to the reader in this thought-provoking essay written by life coach and author Cage J Madison (An Evolutional Journey for the Modern Man; Balance Incarnated; Masterclass Seduction; Eye of the Snake; and the Shades of Reflection poetry series). In perhaps his most controversial work, Madison plunges deep into the ways of humanity and societal influences that he believes are the main problems we are all now facing in the world. The author speaks deeply about how certain damaging thoughts eat away at everybody, leaving most with an enraged pain that storms deep within the mind. The society, as we know it, has become a dominant structure, which does in some ways create an individual, but can also ruin them because of these damaging thoughts. The society has done this by creating a good strategy: Judgement. A majority of humanity has turned to wearing masks to hide their true self from the rest of society because of this strategy. Ever since we were babies, the society and its influences have worked their way into our minds with lies being fed to us through TV or speeches from the so-called leaders of the world. These influences have simply allowed all people to concentrate on their individual demise rather than the life they have been given. We search for what has been lost, but how can something be found while trapped in this instance of self-indulgence? Corruption within the world seems to eat away at all humans and yet we still think we are free. Consumerism blares out from all walls of society as men and women, boys and girls march like slaves down the streets in rows. In this No-Holds-Barred essay, Madison takes the reader deep into his mind through words that are not only confronting but also poetically written. It is a journey that will perhaps make you confront certain things about yourself through subjects relating to politics, terrorism, religion, science, and even our own inner mirror known as the ego. The basis of the essay is the author asking the reader: why not take the opportunity for change and claim the responsibility of your life so you can move away from the society that is really nothing more than that of a deceitful friend giving you the pain you know you can barely endure?

Title: Science in the Soul: Selected Writings of a Passionate Rationalist Author: Richard Dawkins Narrator: Gillian Somerscales, Lalla Ward, Richard Dawkins Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 40 minutes Release date: August 8, 2017 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.43 of Total 7 Ratings of Narrator: 3.33 of Total 3 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The legendary biologist and bestselling author mounts a timely and passionate defense of science and clear thinking with this career-spanning collection of essays, including twenty pieces published in the United States for the first time. For decades, Richard Dawkins has been a brilliant scientific communicator, consistently illuminating the wonders of nature and attacking faulty logic. Science in the Soul brings together forty-two essays, polemics, and paeans—all written with Dawkins’s characteristic erudition, remorseless wit, and unjaded awe of the natural world. Though it spans three decades, this book couldn’t be more timely or more urgent. Elected officials have opened the floodgates to prejudices that have for half a century been unacceptable or at least undercover. In a passionate introduction, Dawkins calls on us to insist that reason take center stage and that gut feelings, even when they don’t represent the stirred dark waters of xenophobia, misogyny, or other blind prejudice, should stay out of the voting booth. And in the essays themselves, newly annotated by the author, he investigates a number of issues, including the importance of empirical evidence, and decries bad science, religion in the schools, and climate-change deniers. Dawkins has equal ardor for “the sacred truth of nature” and renders here with typical virtuosity the glories and complexities of the natural world. Woven into an exploration of the vastness of geological time, for instance, is the peculiar history of the giant tortoises and the sea turtles—whose journeys between water and land tell us a deeper story about evolution. At this moment, when so many highly placed people still question the fact of evolution, Dawkins asks what Darwin would make of his own legacy—“a mixture of exhilaration and exasperation”—and celebrates science as possessing many of religion’s virtues—“explanation, consolation, and uplift”—without its detriments of superstition and prejudice. In a world grown irrational and hostile to facts, Science in the Soul is an essential collection by an indispensable author.

Title: Conscience of a Conservative: A Rejection of Destructive Politics and a Return to Principle Author: Jeff Flake Narrator: Jeff Flake, Milton Jeffers Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 0 minutes Release date: August 1, 2017 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.6 of Total 10 Ratings of Narrator: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A thoughtful defense of traditional conservatism and a thorough assault on the way Donald Trump is betraying it.”—David Brooks, in his New York Times column In a bold act of conscience, Republican Senator Jeff Flake takes his party to task for embracing nationalism, populism, xenophobia, and the anomalous Trump presidency. The book is an urgent call for a return to bedrock conservative principle and a cry to once again put country before party.   Dear Reader,   I am a conservative.             I believe that there are limits to what government can and should do, that there are some problems that government cannot solve, and that human initiative is best when left unfettered, free from government interference or coercion. I believe that these ideas, tested by time, offer the most freedom and best outcomes in the lives of the most people.             But today, the American conservative movement has lost its way. Given the state of our politics, it is no exaggeration to say that this is an urgent matter.             The Republican party used to play to a broader audience, one that demanded that we accomplish something. But in this era of dysfunction, our primary accomplishment has been constructing the argument that we’re not to blame. We have decided that it is better to build and maintain a majority by using the levers of power rather than the art of persuasion and the battle of ideas. We’ve decided that putting party over country is okay. There are many on both sides of the aisle who think this a good model on which to build a political career—destroying, not building.              And all the while, our country burns, our institutions are undermined, and our values are compromised. We have become so estranged from our principles that we no longer know what principle is.             America is not just a collection of transactions. America is also a collection of ideas and values. And these are our values. These are our principles. They are not subject to change, owing to political fashion or cult of personality. I believe that we desperately need to get back to the rigorous, fact-based arguments that made us conservatives in the first place. We need to realize that the stakes are simply too high to remain silent and fall in line.             That is why I have written this book and am taking this stand.   —Jeff Flake Jeff Flake Tue, 01 Aug 2017 01:28:13 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/300786 thebookvoice.com 5:0:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/300786]]> to listen full audiobooks.

The existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre once declared 'the ideal limit of aquatic sports . . . is waterskiing.' The avid surfer and lavishly credentialed academic philosopher Aaron James vigorously disagrees, and in Surfing with Sartre he intends to expound the thinking surfer's view of the matter, in the process elucidating such philosophical categories as freedom, being, phenomenology, morality, epistemology, and even the emerging values of what he terms 'leisure capitalism.' In developing his unique surfer-philosophical worldview, he draws from his own experience of surfing and from surf culture and lingo, and includes many relevant details from the lives of the philosophers, from Aristotle to Wittgenstein, with whose thought he engages. In the process, he'll speak to readers in search of personal and social meaning in our current anxious moment, by way of doing real, authentic philosophy.

Title: Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind Author: Yuval Noah Harari Narrator: Derek Perkins Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 18 minutes Release date: August 15, 2017 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.44 of Total 1976 Ratings of Narrator: 4.73 of Total 186 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: #1 New York Times Bestseller • New York Times Readers’ Pick: Top 100 Books of the 21st Century • The Summer Reading Pick for President Barack Obama and Bill Gates Official U.S. edition From renowned historian Yuval Noah Harari comes a groundbreaking narrative of humanity’s creation and evolution—a #1 international bestseller—that explores the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be “human.” One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one—homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us? Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book that begins about 70,000 years ago with the appearance of modern cognition. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas. Dr. Harari also compels us to look ahead, because over the last few decades humans have begun to bend laws of natural selection that have governed life for the past four billion years. We are acquiring the ability to design not only the world around us, but also ourselves. Where is this leading us, and what do we want to become? Featuring 27 photographs, 6 maps, and 25 illustrations/diagrams, this provocative and insightful work is sure to spark debate and is essential reading for aficionados of Jared Diamond, James Gleick, Matt Ridley, Robert Wright, and Sharon Moalem.

Title: Why Buddhism is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment Author: Robert Wright Narrator: Fred Sanders Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 31 minutes Release date: August 8, 2017 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.35 of Total 171 Ratings of Narrator: 4.65 of Total 17 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: From one of America’s most brilliant writers, a New York Times bestselling journey through psychology, philosophy, and lots of meditation to show how Buddhism holds the key to moral clarity and enduring happiness. At the heart of Buddhism is a simple claim: The reason we suffer—and the reason we make other people suffer—is that we don’t see the world clearly. At the heart of Buddhist meditative practice is a radical promise: We can learn to see the world, including ourselves, more clearly and so gain a deep and morally valid happiness. In this “sublime” (The New Yorker), pathbreaking book, Robert Wright shows how taking this promise seriously can change your life—how it can loosen the grip of anxiety, regret, and hatred, and how it can deepen your appreciation of beauty and of other people. He also shows why this transformation works, drawing on the latest in neuroscience and psychology, and armed with an acute understanding of human evolution. This book is the culmination of a personal journey that began with Wright’s landmark book on evolutionary psychology, The Moral Animal, and deepened as he immersed himself in meditative practice and conversed with some of the world’s most skilled meditators. The result is a story that is “provocative, informative and...deeply rewarding” (The New York Times Book Review), and as entertaining as it is illuminating. Written with the wit, clarity, and grace for which Wright is famous, Why Buddhism Is True lays the foundation for a spiritual life in a secular age and shows how, in a time of technological distraction and social division, we can save ourselves from ourselves, both as individuals and as a species.

It contains one of Emerson's most famous quotations: A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.” Self-Reliance, possibly Emerson’s most famous essay, is an investigation into the nature of the “aboriginal self on which a universal reliance may be grounded.” It was first published in his 1841 collection, Essays: First Series.

Unless the train is stopped, it will inevitably kill all five men. If a fat man is pushed onto the line, although he will die, his body will stop the train, saving five lives. Would you kill the fat man? As David Edmonds shows, answering the question is far more complex, and important, than it first appears.

Title: Draw Your Weapons Author: Sarah Sentilles Narrator: Sarah Sentilles Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 57 minutes Release date: July 4, 2017 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 1 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A single book might not change the world. But this utterly original meditation on art and war might transform the way you see the world—and that makes all the difference. “How to live in the face of so much suffering? What difference can one person make in this beautiful, imperfect, and imperiled world?” Through a dazzling combination of memoir, history, reporting, visual culture, literature, and theology, Sarah Sentilles offers an impassioned defense of life lived by peace and principle. It is a literary collage with an urgent hope at its core: that art might offer tools for remaking the world. In Draw Your Weapons, Sentilles tells the true stories of Howard, a conscientious objector during World War II, and Miles, a former prison guard at Abu Ghraib, and in the process she challenges conventional thinking about how war is waged, witnessed, and resisted. The pacifist and the soldier both create art in response to war: Howard builds a violin; Miles paints portraits of detainees. With echoes of Susan Sontag and Maggie Nelson, Sentilles investigates images of violence from the era of slavery to the drone age. In doing so, she wrestles with some of our most profound questions: What does it take to inspire compassion? What impact can one person have? How should we respond to violence when it feels like it can’t be stopped? Praise for Draw Your Weapons “A collage of death, savagery, torture, and trauma across generations and continents, Sarah Sentilles’s Draw Your Weapons is painful to read, hard to put down, and impossible to forget.”—O: The Oprah Magazine   “In her dynamic, impressionistic (and cleverly titled) book, Sentilles focuses on language and images–particularly photography–and considers what role they play in peace and war. Eschewing a traditional narrative, Sentilles focuses on two men–one a World War II conscience objector who makes violins, and the other an Abu Ghraib prison guard who paints detainee portraits. In brief, delicately layered pieces rather than a narrative, Sentilles has created a collage that explores art, violence, and what it means to live a principled life.”—The National Book Review   “It’s the kind of book that, after reading just half, you have to stop and catch your breath, because reading it changes you, not just in terms of what you know–it changes the way you think and how you feel–so much so that, halfway in, I wanted to go back and start again because I felt I was already a different person to the person I was when I began.”—Turnaround Sarah Sentilles Tue, 04 Jul 2017 01:28:13 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/295443 thebookvoice.com 6:57:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/295443]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Draw Your Weapons Author: Sarah Sentilles Narrator: Sarah Sentilles Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 57 minutes Release date: July 4, 2017 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 1 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A single book might not change the world. But this utterly original meditation on art and war might transform the way you see the world—and that makes all the difference. “How to live in the face of so much suffering? What difference can one person make in this beautiful, imperfect, and imperiled world?” Through a dazzling combination of memoir, history, reporting, visual culture, literature, and theology, Sarah Sentilles offers an impassioned defense of life lived by peace and principle. It is a literary collage with an urgent hope at its core: that art might offer tools for remaking the world. In Draw Your Weapons, Sentilles tells the true stories of Howard, a conscientious objector during World War II, and Miles, a former prison guard at Abu Ghraib, and in the process she challenges conventional thinking about how war is waged, witnessed, and resisted. The pacifist and the soldier both create art in response to war: Howard builds a violin; Miles paints portraits of detainees. With echoes of Susan Sontag and Maggie Nelson, Sentilles investigates images of violence from the era of slavery to the drone age. In doing so, she wrestles with some of our most profound questions: What does it take to inspire compassion? What impact can one person have? How should we respond to violence when it feels like it can’t be stopped? Praise for Draw Your Weapons “A collage of death, savagery, torture, and trauma across generations and continents, Sarah Sentilles’s Draw Your Weapons is painful to read, hard to put down, and impossible to forget.”—O: The Oprah Magazine   “In her dynamic, impressionistic (and cleverly titled) book, Sentilles focuses on language and images–particularly photography–and considers what role they play in peace and war. Eschewing a traditional narrative, Sentilles focuses on two men–one a World War II conscience objector who makes violins, and the other an Abu Ghraib prison guard who paints detainee portraits.

Title: The Art of Living: Peace and Freedom in the Here and Now Author: Thich Nhat Hanh Narrator: Edoardo Ballerini, Gabra Zackman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 1 minute Release date: June 6, 2017 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.42 of Total 325 Ratings of Narrator: 4.2 of Total 30 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: In troubled times, there is an urgency to understand ourselves and our world. We have so many questions, and they tug at us night and day, consciously and unconsciously. In this important volume Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh—one of the most revered spiritual leaders in the world today—reveals an art of living in mindfulness that helps us answer life’s deepest questions and experience the happiness and freedom we desire.  Thich Nhat Hanh presents, for the first time, seven transformative meditations that open up new perspectives on our lives, our relationships and our interconnectedness with the world around us. Based on the last full talks before his sudden hospitalization, and drawing on intimate examples from his own life, Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how these seven meditations can free us to live a happy, peaceful and active life, and face ageing and dying with curiosity and joy and without fear. Containing the essence of the Buddha’s teachings and Thich Nhat Hanh’s poignant, timeless, and clarifying prose, The Art of Living provides a spiritual dimension to our lives. This is not an effort to escape life or to dwell in a place of bliss outside of this world. Instead, this path will allow us to discover where we come from and where we are going. And most of all, it will generate happiness, understanding, and love, so we can live deeply in each moment of our life, right where we are.

Title: On Truth Author: Harry G. Frankfurt Narrator: George Wilson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 28 minutes Release date: March 10, 2008 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Having outlined a theory of bullshit and falsehood, Harry G. Frankfurt turns to what lies beyond them: the truth, a concept not as obvious as some might expect. Our culture's devotion to bullshit may seem much stronger than our apparently halfhearted attachment to truth. Some people (professional thinkers) won't even acknowledge 'true' and 'false' as meaningful categories, and even those who claim to love truth cause the rest of us to wonder whether they, too, aren't simply full of it. Practically speaking, many of us deploy the truth only when absolutely necessary, often finding alternatives to be more saleable, and yet somehow civilization seems to be muddling along. But where are we headed? Is our fast and easy way with the facts actually crippling us? Or is it 'all good'? Really, what's the use of truth, anyway? With the same leavening wit and commonsense wisdom that animates his pathbreaking work On Bullshit, Frankfurt encourages us to take another look at the truth: there may be something there that is perhaps too plain to notice but for which we have a mostly unacknowledged yet deep-seated passion. His book will have sentient beings across America asking, 'The truth-why didn't I think of that?' Harry G.

A spirited defense of science . . . From the first page to the last, this book is a manifesto for clear thought.”—Los Angeles Times How can we make intelligent decisions about our increasingly technology-driven lives if we don’t understand the difference between the myths of pseudoscience and the testable hypotheses of science? Pulitzer Prize-winning author and distinguished astronomer Carl Sagan argues that scientific thinking is critical not only to the pursuit of truth but to the very well-being of our democratic institutions. Casting a wide net through history and culture, Sagan examines and authoritatively debunks such celebrated fallacies of the past as witchcraft, faith healing, demons, and UFOs. And yet, disturbingly, in today's so-called information age, pseudoscience is burgeoning with stories of alien abduction, channeling past lives, and communal hallucinations commanding growing attention and respect. As Sagan demonstrates with lucid eloquence, the siren song of unreason is not just a cultural wrong turn but a dangerous plunge into darkness that threatens our most basic freedoms.

What’s the simple science behind motion sensors, touch screens, and toasters? How do we glide through tolls using an E-Z Pass, or find our way to new places using GPS?  In The Physics of Everyday Things, James Kakalios takes us on an amazing journey into the subatomic marvels that underlie so much of what we use and take for granted.   Breaking down the world of things into a single day, Kakalios engages our curiosity about how our refrigerators keep food cool, how a plane manages to remain airborne, and how our wrist fitness monitors keep track of our steps. Each explanation is coupled with a story revealing the interplay of the astonishing invisible forces that surround us. Through this “narrative physics,” The Physics of Everyday Things demonstrates that—far from the abstractions conjured by terms like the Higgs Boson, black holes, and gravity waves—sophisticated science is also quite practical. With his signature clarity and inventiveness, Kakalios ignites our imaginations and enthralls us with the principles that make up our lives.

This 'Hitchhiker’s Guide to Awareness' provides helpful guideposts along an experiential journey for those Western minds predisposed to wandering off to old habits, cherished presumptions, and a stubbornly solid sense of self. With ease and clarity, Ralston teaches readers how to become aware of the background patterns that they are usually too busy, stressed, or distracted to notice. The Book of Not Knowing points out the ways people get stuck in their lives and offers readers a way to make fresh choices about every aspect of their lives—from a place of awareness instead of autopilot.

Title: The Greatest Story Ever Told--So Far: Why Are We Here? Author: Lawrence M. Krauss Narrator: Lawrence M. Krauss Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 25 minutes Release date: March 21, 2017 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.45 of Total 49 Ratings of Narrator: 4.6 of Total 5 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: From award-winning physicist, public intellectual, and the bestselling author of A Universe from Nothing Lawrence Krauss, comes “a masterful blend of history, modern physics, and cosmic perspective that empowers the reader to not only embrace our understanding of the universe, but also revel in what remains to be discovered” (Neil deGrasse Tyson, American Museum of Natural History). In this grand poetic vision of the universe, Lawrence Krauss tells the dramatic story of the discovery of the hidden world that underlies reality—and our place within it. Reality is not what you think or sense—it’s weird, wild, and counterintuitive, and its inner workings seem at least as implausible as the idea that something can come from nothing. With his trademark wit and accessible style, Krauss leads us to realms so small that they are invisible to microscopes, to the birth and rebirth of light, and into the natural forces that govern our existence. His unique blend of rigorous research and engaging storytelling invites us into the lives and minds of remarkable scientists who have helped unravel the unexpected fabric of reality with reasoning rather than superstition and dogma, and to explain how everything we see—and can’t see—came about. A passionate advocate for reason, Krauss gives the rationale for the seemingly irrational—and the mysteries and apparent contradictions of quantum physics, and explores what that means for our lives here on Earth—and beyond. At its core, The Greatest Story Ever Told—So Far is about the best of what it means to be human—an epic history of our ultimately purposeless universe that addresses the question, “Why are we here?” Lawrence M.

Title: The Gift of Anger: And Other Lessons from My Grandfather Mahatma Gandhi Author: Arun Gandhi Narrator: Arun Gandhi Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 2 minutes Release date: April 25, 2017 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Discover ten vital and extraordinary life lessons from one of the most important and influential philosophers and peace activists of the twentieth century—Mahatma Gandhi—in this poignant and timely exploration of the true path from anger to peace, as recounted by Gandhi’s grandson, Arun Gandhi. In the current troubled climate, in our country and in the world, these lessons are needed more than ever before. “We should not be ashamed of anger. It’s a very good and a very powerful thing that motivates us. But what we need to be ashamed of is the way we abuse it.” —Mahatma Gandhi Arun Gandhi was just twelve years old when his parents dropped him off at Sevagram, his grandfather’s famous ashram. To Arun, the man who fought for India’s independence and was the country’s beloved preeminent philosopher and leader was simply a family member. He lived there for two years under his grandfather’s wing until Gandhi’s assassination. While each chapter contains a singular, timeless lesson, The Gift of Anger also takes you along with Arun on a moving journey of self-discovery as he learns to overcome his own struggle to express his emotions and harness the power of anger to bring about good. He learns to see the world through new eyes under the tutelage of his beloved grandfather and provides a rare, three-dimensional portrait of this icon for the ages. The ten vital life lessons strike a universal chord about self-discovery, identity, dealing with anger, depression, loneliness, friendship, and family—perfect for anyone searching for a way to effecting healing change in a fractured world.

Title: [Spanish] - Los Nuevos Sofistas Author: Juan Jacobo-Doger Narrator: Nelson Landrieu Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 16 minutes Release date: July 15, 2011 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: En la mejor tradicion ya conocida de Juan Jacobo-Doger, Los nuevos sofistas nos abre de nuevo la puerta del misterioso mundo de la mente humana; esta vez para denunciar y traer a la luz los limites fulminantes de los sistemas politicos, su grado de ineficacia y la desesperanza que el status quo representa, para la sociedad actual; necesitada de los heraldos de la denuncia, los entes comprometidos se convierten en nuestra mejor arma, contra la desidia y la ignorancia. Los valores y la moral personal parecieran ser el puente de salvacion, en todo contexto. oPodra el ser humano ser salvo de la total destruccion, atendiendo a los llamados internos? oPodra regresar a sus raices, humanizandose de nuevo, o ya un dictamen divino ha creado su veredicto final? Nacido en Cuba, en la provincia de Pinar del Rio, hijo de padres de ascendencia libanesa, graduado en la escuela normal, ejercio como maestro en el campo, posteriormente en la ciudad y en el colegio de Belen de La Habana. Obtuvo el grado de doctor en pedagogia en la Universidad de La Habana,en cuya facultad de educacion ejercio como instructor adscrito y como titular interino.

Los valores y la moral personal parecieran ser el puente de salvacion, en todo contexto. oPodra el ser humano ser salvo de la total destruccion, atendiendo a los llamados internos? oPodra regresar a sus raices, humanizandose de nuevo, o ya un dictamen divino ha creado su veredicto final?

Title: Christ: A Crisis in the Life of God Series: #2 of God in Three Classic Scriptures Author: Jack Miles Narrator: Grover Gardner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 0 minutes Release date: November 9, 2001 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: With the same passionate scholarship and analytical audacity he brought to the character of God, Jack Miles now approaches the literary and theological enigma of Jesus. In so doing, he tells the story of a broken promise–God’s ancient covenant with Israel–and of its strange, unlooked-for fulfillment. For, having abandoned his chosen people to an impending holocaust at the hands of their Roman conquerors. God, in the person of Jesus, chooses to die with them, in what is effectively an act of divine suicide. On the basis of this shocking argument, Miles compels us to reassess Christ’s entire life and teaching: His proclivity for the powerless and disgraced. His refusal to discriminate between friends and enemies. His transformation of defeat into a victory that redeems not just Israel but the entire world. Combining a close reading of the Gospels with a range of reference that includes Donne, Nietzche, and Elie Wiesel, Christ: A Crisis in the Life of God is a work of magnificent eloquence and imagination.

Title: Behaving Badly: The New Morality in Politics, Sex, and Business Author: Eden Collinsworth Narrator: Joy Nash Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 52 minutes Release date: April 4, 2017 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: What is the relevance of morality today? Eden Collinsworth enlists the famous, the infamous, and the heretofore unheard-of to unravel how we make moral choices in an increasingly complex—and ethically flexible—age. To call these unsettling times is an understatement: our political leaders are less and less respectable; in the realm of business, cheating, lying, and stealing are hazily defined; and in daily life, rapidly changing technology offers permission to act in ways inconceivable without it. Yet somehow, this hasn’t quite led to a complete free-for-all—people still draw lines around what is acceptable and what is not. Collinsworth sets out to understand how and why. In her intrepid quest, she squares off  with a prime minister, the editor of London’s Financial Times, a holocaust survivor, a pop star, and a former commander of the U.S. Air Force to grapple with the impracticality of applying morals to foreign policy; precisely when morality gets lost in the making of money; what happens to morality without free will; whether “immoral” women are just those having a better time; why celebrities have become the new moral standard-bearers; and if testosterone is morality’s enemy or its hero.

Title: The Family Gene: A Mission to Turn My Deadly Inheritance Into a Hopeful Future Author: Joselin Linder Narrator: Khristine Hvam Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 18 minutes Release date: March 14, 2017 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: When Joselin Linder was in her twenties, her legs started to swell. She thought little of it, until her health problems started to compound in ways that baffled her doctors. Diagnosed with extreme liver blockage and dangerous levels of lymph fluid, Joselin turned to the most similar case she could think of—her father’s. Joselin compared the medical chart of her father—who had died of an undiagnosed disease, ten years prior—-with that of an uncle who had died under similarly strange circumstances. Delving further into the past, she discovered her that her great grandmother had symptoms like hers, and she recognized that she was dealing with something more than a fluke. Whatever had killed her father, uncle, and great-grandmother was likely genetic, and the clock was ticking for the family members of her own generation. Setting out to build a more complete picture of the disease that haunted her family, she approached Dr. Christine “Kricket” Seidman, the head of a group of world-class genetic researchers at Harvard Medical School and a colleague of her late father’s, for help. Dr. Seidman has been attempting the map the faulty gene for seventeen years and has confirmed not only that Joselin’s symptoms are genetic, but that Joselin’s family is this disease’s founder population—a group of people experiencing the baffling symptoms of a brand new mutation. Here, Joselin she tells the story of their gene: the lives it claimed and the future of genetics it foretells. Digging into family records and medical history, interviews with family and friends and her own experiences with Harvard doctors, Joselin pieces together the story of a deadly gene to write a gripping and unforgettable exploration of family, history, love, and mortality. A compelling story of survival and perseverance, THE FAMILY GENE is an important story of a young woman reckoning with her father’s death, her own mortality, and her ethical obligations to herself, family, and society.

Title: The Case for God Author: Karen Armstrong Narrator: Karen Armstrong Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 50 minutes Release date: September 22, 2009 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Moving from the Paleolithic age to the present, Karen Armstrong details the great lengths to which humankind has gone in order to experience a sacred reality that it called by many names, such as God, Brahman, Nirvana, Allah, or Dao. Focusing especially on Christianity but including Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Chinese spiritualities, Armstrong examines the diminished impulse toward religion in our own time, when a significant number of people either want nothing to do with God or question the efficacy of faith. Why has God become unbelievable? Why is it that atheists and theists alike now think and speak about God in a way that veers so profoundly from the thinking of our ancestors? Answering these questions with the same depth of knowledge and profound insight that have marked all her acclaimed books, Armstrong makes clear how the changing face of the world has necessarily changed the importance of religion at both the societal and the individual level. And she makes a powerful, convincing argument for drawing on the insights of the past in order to build a faith that speaks to the needs of our dangerously polarized age. Yet she cautions us that religion was never supposed to provide answers that lie within the competence of human reason; that, she says, is the role of logos. The task of religion is “to help us live creatively, peacefully, and even joyously with realities for which there are no easy explanations.” She emphasizes, too, that religion will not work automatically. It is, she says, a practical discipline: its insights are derived not from abstract speculation but from “dedicated intellectual endeavor” and a “compassionate lifestyle that enables us to break out of the prism of selfhood.” Karen Armstrong Tue, 22 Sep 2009 01:28:13 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/283946 thebookvoice.com 16:50:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/283946]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Little Things: Why You Really Should Sweat the Small Stuff Author: Andy Andrews Narrator: Andy Andrews Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 25 minutes Release date: March 7, 2017 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.43 of Total 14 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Wall Street Journal Bestseller Have you ever wondered why we spend so much time and energy thinking about the big challenges in our lives when all the evidence proves it’s actually the little things that change everything?  That’s right…  Absolutely everything. Little Things embodies Andy’s own approach to life and work, detailing for the first time some of the exclusive material that he uses to teach and coach some of the most successful corporations, teams, and individuals around the world.

Title: Creating Freedom: The Lottery of Birth, the Illusion of Consent, and the Fight for Our Future Author: Raoul Martinez Narrator: Steve West Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 37 minutes Release date: January 31, 2017 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A manifesto for deep and radical change, Creating Freedom explores the limits placed on freedom by human nature and society. It explodes myths, calling for a profound transformation in the way we think about democracy, equality, and our own identities. Free markets, free elections, free media, free thought, free speech, free will—the language of freedom pervades our lives, framing the most urgent issues of our time and the deepest questions about who we are and who we want to be. It is a foundational concept at the heart of our civilization, but it has long been distorted to justify its opposite: soaring inequality, the erosion of democracy, an irrational criminal justice system, and a dehumanizing foreign policy. Raoul Martinez argues that the more we understand the limits on our freedom, the better placed we are to transcend them. Drawing together findings and ideas from neuroscience, criminology, psychology, politics, climate science, economics, and philosophy, Creating Freedom constructs a radical framework to make sense of the world and empower us to change it. This is a wide-ranging analysis of power, control, and freedom, which asks us to question our inherited identities, question our society, and turn the power to choose into the freedom to create.

Title: Why Time Flies: A Mostly Scientific Investigation Author: Alan Burdick Narrator: George Newbern Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 0 minutes Release date: January 24, 2017 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.25 of Total 4 Ratings of Narrator: 4 of Total 2 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: “An insightful meditation on the curious nature of time…A highly illuminating intellectual investigation” (Kirkus Reviews) explaining the sometimes contradictory ways we experience time. “Time” is the most commonly used noun in the English language; it’s always on our minds and it advances through every living moment. But what is time, exactly? Do children experience it the same way adults do? Why does it seem to slow down when we’re bored and speed by as we get older? How and why does time fly? “Erudite and informative, a joy with many small treasures” (Science), this witty and meditative exploration by award-winning author and New Yorker staff writer Alan Burdick—“one of the finest science writers at work today, with an uncanny ability to explain knotty topics, with humanity, and humor” (Publishers Weekly, staff pick, best books of 2016)—takes readers on a personal quest to understand how time gets in us and why we perceive it the way we do. In the company of scientists, he visits the most accurate clock in the world (which exists only on paper); discovers that “now” actually happened a split-second ago; finds a twenty-fifth hour in the day; lives in the Arctic to lose all sense of time; and, for one fleeting moment in a neuroscientist’s lab, even makes time go backward. “Why Time Flies captures us. Because it opens up a well of fascinating queries and gives us a glimpse of what has become an ever more deepening mystery for humans: the nature of time” (The New York Times Book Review). This “intellectual adventure renders a hefty topic accessible to the general public” (Richmond Times-Dispatch), is an instant classic, a vivid and intimate examination of the clocks that tick inside us all.

Title: The Ruler's Guide: China's Greatest Emperor and His Timeless Secrets of Success Author: Chinghua Tang Narrator: Raymond J. Lee Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 36 minutes Release date: February 7, 2017 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: In the classic tradition of Sun Tzu’s The Art of War, here for the first time in English is the timeless wisdom of China’s greatest emperor Tang Taizong (598–649 AD), which is still being studied more than 1,300 years later as an invaluable guide to leading and managing. Tang Taizong is arguably the greatest Emperor in Chinese history. In Asia, many historians rank him with such rulers as Augustus, Genghis Khan, and Napoleon. When he founded the Tang dynasty, Taizong was only twenty-eight years old, and his chief accomplishments were on the battlefield, where he personally slew 1,000 of the enemy. Ultimately, he would defeat the descendants of Attila the Hun, open up the Silk Road trading route, create a golden age of prosperity and cosmopolitan culture, preside over a society in which women enjoyed higher status, and allow Christianity and Islam into China for the first time as well as introduce Buddhism into Tibet. His dynasty would last 300 years. Here, author Chinghua Tang presents conversations between Taizong and his gifted advisers that reveal core aspects of leadership, among them: how to appraise oneself and assess others, how to enhance organizational effectiveness, how to compete with rivals, how to grow power and influence without losing the respect of others, how to learn from the rise and fall of predecessors, and how to craft one’s legacy. An indispensable guide that is as relevant for a middle-manager, military commander, or athletic coach as for a school principal, political leader, or over-stressed parent, The Ruler’s Guide doesn’t just reveal the insights that have kept Taizong’s legacy alive, it spells out how that wisdom is a match for today’s fast-paced, ever changing world.

Title: How Emotions Are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain Author: Lisa Feldman Barrett Narrator: Cassandra Campbell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 33 minutes Release date: March 7, 2017 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.28 of Total 96 Ratings of Narrator: 4.4 of Total 5 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: “Fascinating . . . A thought-provoking journey into emotion science.” — Wall Street Journal “A singular book, remarkable for the freshness of its ideas and the boldness and clarity with which they are presented.” — Scientific American “A brilliant and original book on the science of emotion, by the deepest thinker about this topic since Darwin.” — Daniel Gilbert, best-selling author of Stumbling on Happiness The science of emotion is in the midst of a revolution on par with the discovery of relativity in physics and natural selection in biology. Leading the charge is psychologist and neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett, whose research overturns the long-standing belief that emotions are automatic, universal, and hardwired in different brain regions. Instead, Barrett shows, we construct each instance of emotion through a unique interplay of brain, body, and culture. A lucid report from the cutting edge of emotion science, How Emotions Are Made reveals the profound real-world consequences of this breakthrough for everything from neuroscience and medicine to the legal system and even national security, laying bare the immense implications of our latest and most intimate scientific revolution. “Mind-blowing.” — Elle “Chock-full of startling, science-backed findings . . .

Title: The Genius of Judaism Author: Bernard-Henri Lévy Narrator: Mark Bramhall Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 43 minutes Release date: January 10, 2017 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.25 of Total 4 Ratings of Narrator: 4 of Total 2 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: From world-renowned public intellectual Bernard-Henri Lévy comes an incisive and provocative look at the heart of Judaism. “A smart, revealing, and essential book for our times.”—The Washington Post For more than four decades, Bernard-Henri Lévy has been a singular figure on the world stage—one of the great moral voices of our time. Now Europe's foremost philosopher and activist confronts his spiritual roots and the religion that has always inspired and shaped him—but that he has never fully reckoned with. The Genius of Judaism is a breathtaking new vision and understanding of what it means to be a Jew, a vision quite different from the one we’re used to. It is rooted in the Talmudic traditions of argument and conflict, rather than biblical commandments, borne out in struggle and study, not in blind observance. At the very heart of the matter is an obligation to the other, to the dispossessed, and to the forgotten, an obligation that, as Lévy vividly recounts, he has sought to embody over decades of championing “lost causes,” from Bosnia to Africa’s forgotten wars, from Libya to the Kurdish Peshmerga’s desperate fight against the Islamic State, a battle raging as we speak. Lévy offers a fresh, surprising critique of a new and stealthy form of anti-Semitism on the rise as well as a provocative defense of Israel from the left. He reveals the overlooked Jewish roots of Western democratic ideals and confronts the current Islamist threat while intellectually dismantling it. Jews are not a “chosen people,” Lévy explains, but a “treasure” whose spirit must continue to inform moral thinking and courage today. Lévy’s most passionate book, and in many ways his most personal, The Genius of Judaism is a great, profound, and hypnotic intellectual reckoning—indeed a call to arms—by one of the keenest and most insightful writers in the world. Praise for The Genius of Judaism “In The Genius of Judaism, Lévy elaborates on his credo by rebutting the pernicious and false logic behind current anti-Semitism and defends Israel as the world’s most successful multi-ethnic democracy created from scratch. Lévy also makes the case for France’s Jews being integral to the establishment of the French nation, the French language, and French literature. And last, but certainly not least, he presents a striking interpretation of the Book of Jonah. . . . A tour de force.”—Forbes “Ardent . . . Lévy’s message is essentially uplifting: that the brilliant scholars of Judaism, the authors of the Talmud, provide elucidation into ‘the great questions that have stirred humanity since the dawn of time.’ . . . A philosophical celebration of Judaism.”—Kirkus Reviews “Lévy (Left in Dark Times), a prominent French journalist and politically engaged philosopher, turns his observations inward here, pondering the teachings of Judaism and the role they have played in contemporary European history as well as in his own life and intellectual inquiry. . . . [Lévy’s] musings on the meaning of the story of Jonah and the relevance of symbolic Ninevahs in our time are both original and poetic. . . .

Title: The Genius of Judaism Author: Bernard-Henri Lévy Narrator: Mark Bramhall Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 43 minutes Release date: January 10, 2017 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.25 of Total 4 Ratings of Narrator: 4 of Total 2 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: From world-renowned public intellectual Bernard-Henri Lévy comes an incisive and provocative look at the heart of Judaism. “A smart, revealing, and essential book for our times.”—The Washington Post For more than four decades, Bernard-Henri Lévy has been a singular figure on the world stage—one of the great moral voices of our time. Now Europe's foremost philosopher and activist confronts his spiritual roots and the religion that has always inspired and shaped him—but that he has never fully reckoned with. The Genius of Judaism is a breathtaking new vision and understanding of what it means to be a Jew, a vision quite different from the one we’re used to. It is rooted in the Talmudic traditions of argument and conflict, rather than biblical commandments, borne out in struggle and study, not in blind observance. At the very heart of the matter is an obligation to the other, to the dispossessed, and to the forgotten, an obligation that, as Lévy vividly recounts, he has sought to embody over decades of championing “lost causes,” from Bosnia to Africa’s forgotten wars, from Libya to the Kurdish Peshmerga’s desperate fight against the Islamic State, a battle raging as we speak. Lévy offers a fresh, surprising critique of a new and stealthy form of anti-Semitism on the rise as well as a provocative defense of Israel from the left. He reveals the overlooked Jewish roots of Western democratic ideals and confronts the current Islamist threat while intellectually dismantling it. Jews are not a “chosen people,” Lévy explains, but a “treasure” whose spirit must continue to inform moral thinking and courage today. Lévy’s most passionate book, and in many ways his most personal, The Genius of Judaism is a great, profound, and hypnotic intellectual reckoning—indeed a call to arms—by one of the keenest and most insightful writers in the world. Praise for The Genius of Judaism “In The Genius of Judaism, Lévy elaborates on his credo by rebutting the pernicious and false logic behind current anti-Semitism and defends Israel as the world’s most successful multi-ethnic democracy created from scratch. Lévy also makes the case for France’s Jews being integral to the establishment of the French nation, the French language, and French literature. And last, but certainly not least, he presents a striking interpretation of the Book of Jonah. . . . A tour de force.”—Forbes “Ardent . . .

Title: The Book That Changed America: How Darwin's Theory of Evolution Ignited a Nation Author: Randall Fuller Narrator: Stefan Rudnicki Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 40 minutes Release date: January 24, 2017 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 2 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: A compelling portrait of a unique moment in American history when the ideas of Charles Darwin reshaped American notions about nature, religion, science and race “A lively and informative history.” – The New York Times Book Review Throughout its history America has been torn in two by debates over ideals and beliefs.  Randall Fuller takes us back to one of those turning points, in 1860, with the story of the influence of Charles Darwin’s just-published On the Origin of Species on five American intellectuals, including Bronson Alcott, Henry David Thoreau, the child welfare reformer Charles Loring Brace, and the abolitionist Franklin Sanborn.    Each of these figures seized on the book’s assertion of a common ancestry for all creatures as a powerful argument against slavery, one that helped provide scientific credibility to the cause of abolition.  Darwin’s depiction of constant struggle and endless competition described America on the brink of civil war.  But some had difficulty aligning the new theory to their religious convictions and their faith in a higher power.  Thoreau, perhaps the most profoundly affected all, absorbed Darwin’s views into his mysterious final work on species migration and the interconnectedness of all living things.   Creating a rich tableau of nineteenth-century American intellectual culture, as well as providing a fascinating biography of perhaps the single most important idea of that time, The Book That Changed America is also an account of issues and concerns still with us today, including racism and the enduring conflict between science and religion.

Title: Thank You for Being Late: An Optimist's Guide to Thriving in the Age of Accelerations Author: Thomas L.

Friedman, read by Oliver Wyman. From the Pulitzer Prize winner and No.1 international bestselling author of The World is Flat, an essential and entertaining field guide to thriving in the twenty-first century. We all sense it - something big is going on. You feel it in your workplace. You feel it when you talk to your children. You can't miss it when you read the newspapers or watch the news. Our lives are speeding up - and it is dizzying. In Thank You for Being Late, a work unlike any he has attempted before, Thomas L. Friedman exposes the tectonic movements that are reshaping the world today and explains how to get the most out of them. Friedman's thesis is that to understand the twenty-first century, you need to understand that the planet's three largest forces - Moore's law (technology), the market (globalization) and Mother Nature (climate change and biodiversity loss) - are all accelerating at once, transforming the workplace, politics, geopolitics, ethics and community. An extraordinary release of energy is reshaping everything from how we hail a taxi to the fate of nations to our most intimate relationships. It is creating vast new opportunities for individuals and small groups to save the world - or perhaps to destroy it. Thank You for Being Late is a work of contemporary history that serves as a field manual for how to think about this era of accelerations. It's also an argument for 'being late' - for pausing to appreciate this amazing historical epoch we're passing through and reflecting on its possibilities and dangers. He shows us how we can anchor ourselves as individuals in the eye of this storm, and how communities can create a 'topsoil of trust' to do the same for their increasingly diverse and digital populations. Written with his trademark vitality, wit, and optimism, and with unequalled access to many of those at the forefront of the changes he is describing all over the world, Thank You for Being Late is Friedman's most ambitious book - and an essential guide to the present and the future.

Too many of us believe that the search for meaning is an esoteric pursuit—that you have to travel to a distant monastery or page through dusty volumes to discover life’s secrets. The truth is, there are untapped sources of meaning all around us—right here, right now. To explore how we can craft lives of meaning, Emily Esfahani Smith synthesizes a kaleidoscopic array of sources—from psychologists, sociologists, philosophers, and neuroscientists to figures in literature and history such as George Eliot, Viktor Frankl, Aristotle, and the Buddha. Drawing on this research, Smith shows us how cultivating connections to others, identifying and working toward a purpose, telling stories about our place in the world, and seeking out mystery can immeasurably deepen our lives. To bring what she calls the four pillars of meaning to life, Smith visits a tight-knit fishing village in the Chesapeake Bay, stargazes in West Texas, attends a dinner where young people gather to share their experiences of profound loss, and more. She also introduces us to compelling seekers of meaning—from the drug kingpin who finds his purpose in helping people get fit to the artist who draws on her Hindu upbringing to create arresting photographs. And she explores how we might begin to build a culture that leaves space for introspection and awe, cultivates a sense of community, and imbues our lives with meaning. Inspiring and story-driven, The Power of Meaning will strike a profound chord in anyone seeking a life that matters.

En France, le fameux festival de théâtre d'Avignon prend alors naissance. Sa vie de comédien lui permet d'être en permanence par monts et par vaux. Il se rend, entre autres, à New-York, Tokyo, Mexico, Rio, Pékin et effectue une tournée en Europe de l'Est. Au faîte de sa gloire, l'acteur génial et doté d'une aura incomparable, idole des années cinquante, s'éteint subitement, terrassé par un cancer du foie. Il allait avoir trente sept ans. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/280210 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/280210]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The God Who Is There, 30th Anniversary Edition Author: Francis A. Schaeffer Narrator: John Lescault Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 36 minutes Release date: December 20, 2016 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.73 of Total 11 Ratings of Narrator: 2 of Total 2 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: In 2006, Christianity Today voted The God Who Is There as one of the top fifty books that have shaped evangelicals. For decades, The God Who Is There has been the landmark book that changed the way the church sees the world. In Francis Schaeffer’s remarkable analysis, we learn where the clashing ideas about God, science, history, and art came from and where they are going. This edition includes a foreword by James W. Sire that places Schaeffer’s seminal work in the context of the intellectual turbulence of the early twenty-first century. More than ever, The God Who Is There demonstrates how historic Christianity can fearlessly confront the competing philosophies of the world. The God who has always been there continues to provide the anchor of truth and the power of love to meet the world’s deepest problems. Francis A.

Il défend la liberté individuelle et l'égalité politique. Exprimant parfois des réserves sur l'évolution possible de la démocratie vers une dictature de la majorité au nom de l'égalité, et rejetant à ce titre nettement toute orientation socialiste, il est l'une des plus grandes références de la philosophie politique libérale. Théoricien du colonialisme, légitimant l'expansion française en Afrique du Nord (1841-1846), il fustige néanmoins la barbarie des armées françaises en Afrique, s'oppose à l'application du régime militaire en Algérie, et défend parmi les premiers l'abolition de l'esclavage dans les colonies. Parallèlement, Tocqueville refuse les considérations de la thèse de son ami Joseph Arthur de Gobineau (Essai sur l'inégalité des races humaines). Retrouvez dans ce livre audio 6 grands textes emblématiques et fondateurs de la pensée politique de Tocqueville.

Title: Platon Author: Platon Narrator: Juliette Lancrenon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 18 minutes Release date: December 31, 2012 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Ce livre audio vous permettra de vous initier à la vie et à l'oeuvre de Platon, l'un des plus grands philosophes. Fils d'une famille de l'aristocratie athénienne, Platon semblait être destiné à occuper des responsabilités politiques de tout premier ordre. Mais sa rencontre avec Socrate bouleverse ces plans. A la mort du maître, il se consacre, via l'écriture et l'Académie qu'il fonde en 387, à la transmission de la pensée novatrice de Socrate. Dans la période troublée que vit Athènes à cette époque, Socrate avait mis en garde les Athéniens contre leur ignorance, l'injustice et l'amoralité de leur société. La première partie de l'œuvre de Platon est constituée de dialogues sur le procès et les derniers jours de la vie de Socrate (' Apologie de Socrate', 'Criton'). Dans les dialogues socratiques, tel 'Phédon' on découvre la méthode dialectique de Socrate grâce à laquelle on se détache des idées reçues, de la certitude naïve et qu'on approche par la connaissance des Idées de la vertu. Si d'autres témoignages, de Xénophon ou Aristophane viennent parfois infirmer ceux de Platon, l'analyse platonicienne reste un pilier de toute la philosophie occidentale.

Il n'a cependant laissé aucune œuvre écrite ; sa philosophie s'est transmise par l'intermédiaire de témoignages indirects (en particulier par les écrits de ses disciples Platon et Xénophon). Voici l'histoire de sa vie, ainsi qu'une présentation de ses théories philosophiques. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/279911 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/279911]]> to listen full audiobooks. Title: Aristote Author: Aristote Narrator: Juliette Lancrenon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 26 minutes Release date: December 31, 2012 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Après la mort prématurée de son père médecin, Aristote intègre l'académie de Platon. A la mort du philosophe, il apprend les subtilités de l'art politique aux côtés du tyran Hermias d'Atarnée. En 343, l'élève Aristote, appelé par Philippe roi de macédoine, devient précepteur et responsable de l'éducation du jeune Alexandre le Grand. A son retour à Athènes, il fonde sa propre école, le Lycée, où il enseigne pendant treize ans. Mais sa réputation de partisan de la Macédoine l'oblige, à la mort d'Alexandre, à quitter Athènes et à se réfugier dans une propriété héritée de sa mère, à Chalcis, où il meurt à l'âge de soixante-trois ans. Son oeuvre est considérable et touche l'ensemble des domaines de la connaissance. Il oppose à la méthode platonicienne du dialogue et au concept de monde des idées, un empirisme moins élitiste qui réhabilite les données de l'expérience. Elaborant dans 'L' organon' le principe de déduction sous la forme du syllogisme, il travaille sur la signification de l'être en tant qu'être et établit les fondements de la théologie dans 'La métaphysique', qui restera un ouvrage de référence pour la pensée médiévale juive, chrétienne et musulmane. Le philosophe ne négligera pas pour autant la politique et la morale, où, développant une conception finaliste de l'essence de la cité, il se prononcera pour la recherche d'un bien suprême menant à la vertu : le Bonheur. Ce livre audio vous permettra de découvrir qui est Aristote, ainsi que ses théories philosophiques.

Title: Discours sur le bonheur Author: Emilie Du Chatelet Narrator: Fabienne Prost Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 46 minutes Release date: December 31, 2012 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Cette comédie philosophique qui tente de répondre à la question fondamentale «  Comment être heureux sur cette terre  ?  » s'articule en deux parties. Alors que la première aborde les thèmes philosophiques, la seconde est consacrée à la passion amoureuse. « Les gens heureux ne cherchent rien. » Quittée par Voltaire, après dix ans de vie commune passionnée, fusionnelle et intellectuelle, Émilie du Châtelet s'interroge sur ce qui peut encore lui donner le goût de vivre... Elle écrit alors le «  Discours sur le bonheur  ». Mathématicienne (traductrice des Principes de Newton), polyglotte, philosophe, elle nous livre l'essentiel de la stratégie du bonheur : « ...il faut commencer par se bien dire à soi-même et par se bien convaincre que nous n'avons rien à faire dans ce monde qu'à nous y procurer des sensations et des sentiments agréables » Il ne s'agit pas de consommer de la jouissance immédiate mais d'orchestrer tous les plaisirs possibles sous « ...l'œil vigilant de la conscience ». Cette femme des lumières, sans aucun doute l'alter ego de Voltaire, nous laisse ce texte. A sa mort, Voltaire, désespéré, écrira : « Je n'ai point perdu ma maîtresse j'ai perdu la moitié de moi-même, une âme pour qui la mienne était faite, une amie de vingt ans que j'avais vu naître. » Emilie Du Chatelet Mon, 31 Dec 2012 01:28:13 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/279905 thebookvoice.com 0:46:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/279905]]> to listen full audiobooks.

Along the way, Meyer argues that Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution as expounded in The Origin of Species did not, in fact, refute ID.

For the first time in Earth's history, our planet is experiencing a confluence of rapidly accelerating changes prompted by one species: humans. Climate change is only the most visible of the modifications we've made--up until this point, inadvertently--to the planet. And our current behavior threatens not only our own future but that of countless other creatures. By comparing Earth's story to those of other planets, astrobiologist David Grinspoon shows what a strange and novel development it is for a species to evolve to build machines, and ultimately, global societies with world-shaping influence. Without minimizing the challenges of the next century, Grinspoon suggests that our present moment is not only one of peril, but also great potential, especially when viewed from a 10,000-year perspective. Our species has surmounted the threat of extinction before, thanks to our innate ingenuity and ability to adapt, and there's every reason to believe we can do so again. Our challenge now is to awaken to our role as a force of planetary change, and to grow into this task. We must become graceful planetary engineers, conscious shapers of our environment and caretakers of Earth's biosphere. This is a perspective that begs us to ask not just what future do we want to avoid, but what do we seek to build? What kind of world do we want? Are humans the worst thing or the best thing to ever happen to our planet? Today we stand at a pivotal juncture, and the answer will depend on the choices we make.

Il a été écrit par Sénèque comme un dialogue avec un interlocuteur imaginaire, vers 58 après Jésus Christ. Son principal objet est de montrer que le bonheur n'est pas matériel, mais naît d'une vie en accord avec la vertu et la raison (selon les préceptes du stoïcisme). Sénèque nous livre sa philosophie du bonheur et de la sagesse : comment atteindre « ce que nous devons chercher » (la vie heureuse), puis « comment nous pouvons l'atteindre le plus rapidement ».

Title: De la patience de St Augustin Author: Saint Augustin Narrator: Fabienne Prost Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 1 minute Release date: December 31, 2011 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Saint Augustin dans 'Les confessions' décrit sa conversion au christianisme avec une sincérité qui vaut plus que beaucoup de biographies. Le jeune Augustin est attiré par la philosophie, et se rapproche des mouvements manichéens, avant de se tourner vers le néo-platonisme, mais c'est sous l'influence de la pensée de saint Ambroise qu'il décide de devenir prêtre. Ecrivain fécond et actif, il déploie une intense activité de prédicateur, d'organisateur des communautés et de lutte contre les hérésies. La doctrine d'Augustin, qu'il développe notamment dans «  De la patience  », s'appuie sur la foi en Dieu mais ne combat pas la raison. Elle est une méditation de l'intelligence sur la création, le bien et la vertu. Les livres de saint Augustin sont de nos jours surtout lus par les esprits ouverts et laïcs qui souhaitent réfléchir sur le sens de leur vie.

Title: Les sermons de Bouddha Author: Bouddha Narrator: Fabienne Prost Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 9 minutes Release date: December 31, 2011 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Le bouddhisme est à la fois une philosophie, une spiritualité et une religion, apparue en Inde au Ve siècle av.

Title: La désobéissance civile Author: Henry Thoreau Narrator: Nicolas Planchais Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 4 minutes Release date: December 31, 2014 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: La résistance et la désobéissance civile ? Un sujet toujours d'actualité. De nos jours, les Indignés, les Anonymous, les Zadistes et tant d'autres citoyens engagés et parfois révoltés veulent exprimer leurs convictions citoyennes en s'affranchissant des traditionnels relais politiques, dans un désir de démocratie directe engagée. Tous ces collectifs engagés sont des descendants spirituels de « La Désobéissance civile », un essai de Henry David Thoreau publié en 1849. Thoreau écrit sur le thème de la désobéissance civile en se fondant sur son expérience personnelle. En juillet 1846, il est emprisonné pour n'avoir pas, volontairement, payé un impôt à l'État américain. D'après lui, l'Etat ne représentait pas ses convictions : notamment en faisant la guerre contre le Mexique et en soutenant à l'époque l'esclavage, dans les Etats du Sud. Il ne passe qu'une nuit en prison, car son entourage paie la caution, ce qui le rend furieux. Avec le Discours de la servitude volontaire d'Étienne de La Boétie, La Désobéissance civile est un ouvrage fondateur du concept de désobéissance civile.
