  Human Truth - Why control is an...

  People want control. Over their future, their success, their happiness — even over their own thoughts. We’re taught that life can be shaped if we just find the right method, mindset, or discipline. Entire industries are built on this promise: books, courses, rituals, and techniques that claim you can design your reality. 
   
  But the more we try to control life, the more we discover that life doesn’t behave like a machine. Plans collapse. Opportunities vanish. Relationships shift. Happiness appears and disappears without warning. And suddenly the idea of total control begins to crack. 
   
  This audiobook explores that crack. 
   
  It’s about the tension between the human hunger for control and a reality that doesn’t obey our expectations. It’s about the illusion of control — how it forms, why we cling to it, and what remains when it falls apart. 
   
  Instead of offering another method to “master your life,” this course offers something different: a realistic path toward self‑insight. You’ll learn how to see your own patterns more clearly, how to understand the stories you tell yourself, and how to find autonomy not by controlling everything, but by understanding what can never be controlled. 
   
  Real freedom doesn’t come from perfect control. It comes from honest self‑reflection — and from learning to live with the truth that life will always be bigger than your plans.

  'O, full of scorpions is my mind.'
  The spellbinding story of love and murder, power and paranoia, and the internal struggles of a married couple as they try to control their destiny, and one another…
  This official tie-in edition to the Donmar Warehouse's acclaimed 2023 revival of Shakespeare's extraordinary psychological drama features rich and revealing behind-the-scenes material exploring how the production was conceived and developed.
  Starring David Tennant and Cush Jumbo, and directed by Donmar Associate Director Max Webster, this bracingly fresh version used binaural sound technology to place the audience inside the minds of the Macbeths, asking us: are we are ever really responsible for our actions?
  It was first staged at the Donmar Warehouse, London, in December 2023, and transferred to the Harold Pinter Theatre in the West End in October 2024.
  In addition to the version of Shakespeare's text performed, this volume also includes a fascinating rehearsal diary, colour photos, and interviews with its leading cast and creative team: Tennant, Jumbo and Webster, plus designer Rosanna Vize, sound designer Gareth Fry and composer and musical director Alasdair Macrae.

  This celebratory anthology explores human connection through forty-four poems curated by Pádraig Ó Tuama, the host of On Being's Poetry Unbound podcast. 
   
   
   
  44 Poems on Being with Each Other is a new volume that offers immersive reflections on the human connection. With an observant eye, Pádraig Ó Tuama shares an enlightening meditation on each poem, revealing the ways we relate to each other, the world around us, and ourselves. Among the selections, Ó Tuama examines friendship and its loss through Langston Hughes's "I Loved My Friend," changing familial bonds in Rita Dove's "Eurydice, Turning," the relationship with the past in Mary Oliver's "The Uses of Sorrow," the power of declaration in Lucille Clifton's "Won't You Celebrate with Me," and the necessity of connection to land in Joy Harjo's "Conflict Resolution for Holy Beings." 
   
   
   
  Blending humor with insight, tension with tenderness, complexity with care, 44 Poems on Being with Each Other articulates the power of poetry itself. Through careful and incisive readings, it illuminates aspects of the human condition, particularly the ways we are inextricably linked to each other, and provides inspiration for grounded self-reflection. It is an anthology that will delight listeners, just as Pádraig's podcast has done for millions around the world.

  I Saw Satan at the 7-Eleven

  He was dressing low-profile, but it was definitely him: red skin, horns, barbed tail, cloven hoofs, black goatee. He was unmistakable. Satan was buying soy milk and forty bucks' worth of unleaded fuel.
  
  This audiobook is brilliantly read by the playwright himself, who also performed the story onstage in its first production at Soho Theatre.
  
  'No one tells a story like Christopher Brett Bailey.' Guardian
  
  'A sort of crazed neo-beatnik equivalent of Charles Dickens's celebrated recitals . . . a luridly gonzo piece of storytelling that revels in absurdist twists [and] moments of pure WTF.' Time Out
  
  
  In a small town two miles north of Hell, our deadbeat narrator spots Satan filling up his red Corvette at the 7-Eleven. Satan's a washed-up has-been who's totally lost his edge . . . but when their eyes meet across the parking lot, the two embark on a torrid romance, by turns screwball, surreal, terrifying and tender.
  
  
  Christopher Brett Bailey's electrifying monologue premiered at Soho Theatre, London, in April 2026.
  
  Portions of this audiobook contain mature language. Listener discretion is advised.
  
  
  'Landing blow after blow right in the kisser of literary decorum, this freewheeling freak-out proves once and for all that language is no match for counter culture's last living mutant, Christopher Brett Bailey. You aren't ready and you never will be.' LAUREN J JOSEPH
  
  
  'A short sharp shock of a story, every sentence spoken is filled with something grotesque, hilarious, deeply sad or some unholy melding of all three. It's so gross! It made me very happy.' ALISON RUMFITT
