  The audiobook summary of "Clean" by David Sheff offers a comprehensive look into the complex and often misunderstood world of addiction. This book stands out as a significant exploration of addiction as a health problem, rather than a criminal issue. Sheff, drawing from his personal experience as a parent of an addict, presents a deeply empathetic and informed perspective on this public health crisis. 
  In "Clean," Sheff argues for a paradigm shift in how we view and treat addiction. He stresses that addiction should be approached with the rigor of medicine, advocating for evidence-based treatment. The book underlines the importance of understanding addiction as a disease that causes actual anatomical alterations in the brain, leading to cognitive deficits and other symptoms. Sheff's approach is rooted in the belief that behavioral choices contribute to many illnesses, similar to how choices in diet contribute to diseases like diabetes. 
  The audiobook delves into various aspects of addiction, from prevention and early use to treatment and maintaining sobriety. Sheff critically examines the war on drugs, deeming it a failure and calling for more effective strategies to combat the epidemic of substance abuse. The book also highlights the genetic component of addiction, the impact of mental illness and poverty as risk factors, and the particular vulnerability of adolescents. 
  "Clean" is not just a book for those directly affected by addiction but is an essential read for anyone looking to understand one of America's most pressing social issues. This audiobook summary presents the key takeaways from Sheff's work in a concise format, providing practical information and insights into the nature of addiction and recovery. Whether you've previously read "Clean" or are new to Sheff's work, this audiobook offers valuable perspectives and lessons that can be applied to understand and address the challenge of addiction

  The Compassionate Hunter's...

  “This book reminds us that hunting provides sustenance for both body and soul, and that mindful eating requires both respect and gratitude.”—Tovar Cerulli, author of The Mindful Carnivore   Wild meat, hunted in a responsible way, is one of the most healthful, sustainable foods possible. Depending on how it is done, hunting can be as local, intimate and humane as it gets. And aside from this, it demands the hunter enter a world of awareness, wildness, life and death that as a culture we have lost connection to. The Compassionate Hunter’s Guidebook is for those who come to the act of hunting with pure intentions, motivated by a desire for healthy food that comes directly from the land where they live. This practical manual suggests that hunting is not a “sport” and the animals whose lives are taken are not “game.” It combines a deep, philosophical exploration of the ethics of killing with detailed instructions on every step of the process including: Understanding your preyTools, techniques and preparationThe act of the huntFrom forest to table—processing, preserving and preparing your kill.   A unique and comprehensive, fully-illustrated guide to the complexity, ethics and spirit of the hunt, The Compassionate Hunter is a must-read for beginning and experienced hunters alike. It will appeal to anyone who wishes to delve more deeply into the complex, humbling and ultimately profound reality of our relationship with the food that nourishes us.  “Arguably the food that most closely approximates our nutritional needs, wild game assumes a sacred and satiating beauty in The Compassionate Hunter.”—Joel Salatin, farmer and author of Pastured Poultry Profits

  From Outer Space to Inner Space...

  The sixth man who walked on the moon shares his journey to the stars, into the mind, and beyond. 
  In February 1971, as Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell hurtled Earthward through space, he was engulfed by a profound sense of universal connectedness. He intuitively sensed that his presence and that of the planet in the window were all part of a deliberate, universal process, and that the glittering cosmos itself was, in some way, conscious. The experience was so overwhelming, Mitchell knew his life would never be the same.  
  For the next thirty-five years, he embarked on another journey, an inward exploration of the ineffable mystery of human consciousness and being. Mitchell left NASA to form the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS). There he initiated research in areas of study previously neglected by mainstream science and constructed a theory that could explain not only the mysteries of consciousness, but also the psychic event—what spiritualists call a “miracle” and scientists dismiss altogether.  
  Mitchell also created a new dyadic model of reality, revealing a self-aware universe not predetermined by the laws of physics, preordained by deities, or infinitely malleable. While human actions are generally subject to the laws of physics, these laws are also influenced by the mind.  
  From Outer Space to Inner Space traces two remarkable journeys—one through space and one through the mind. Together they fundamentally alter the way we understand the miracle and mystery of being, and ultimately reveal humankind’s role in its own destiny.  
  Previously published as The Way of the Explorer, this edition includes a new foreword by Avi Loeb, an afterword by Dean Radin, and a postscript chapter by the author.
