  The Wager We Never Won

  The Wager We Never Won is a meditation on the human obsession with control — our endless attempts to gamble with chaos, to negotiate with fate, to turn risk into meaning. Through lyrical prose and quiet revelation, the book traces the lineage of ambition from the explorers who defied the sea to the modern dreamers who believe progress will save them. It asks whether courage and arrogance have ever truly been different, and whether survival itself might be the most dangerous illusion of all. 
  This is not a story of defeat, but of understanding: that the beauty of humanity lies not in its triumphs, but in its willingness to keep playing a game it cannot win — to build, to fail, to rebuild again, even as the tide takes everything back.

  Carl Jung and Alcoholics...

  The author visited the archives of the headquarters of A.A. in New York, and discovered new communications between Carl Jung and Bill Wilson. For the first time this correspondence shows Jung's respect for A.A. and in turn, its influence on him. In particular, this research shows how Bill Wilson was encouraged by Jung's writings to promote the spiritual aspect of recovery as opposed to the conventional medical model which has failed so abysmally. The book overturns the long-held belief that Jung distrusted groups. Indeed, influenced by A.A.'s success, Jung gave "complete and detailed instructions" on how the A.A. group format could be developed further and used by "general neurotics". Wilson was an advocate of treating some alcoholics with LSD in order to deflate the ego and induce a spiritual experience. The author explains how alcoholism can be diagnosed and understood by professionals and the lay person; by examining the detailed case histories of Jung, the author gives graphic examples of its psychological and behavioural manifestations. 
   
  This audiobook is expertly read and engineered by Peter Coates. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.
