  What if the best ruler was the one you’d never notice? 
  In Statesman, Plato moves past the question of what law is—and asks who is truly fit to rule. Through the philosophical dialogue between Socrates’ companions and the Eleatic Stranger, we are taken on an intricate journey into political thought: the role of knowledge in leadership, the tension between law and judgment, and the rare individual capable of weaving justice into the fabric of society. 
  This modern audiobook adaptation captures the intellectual richness of Plato’s original while offering a clear and compelling experience for today’s listeners. 
  What you’ll discover inside: 
  •	The philosophical foundation of true political authority and leadership 
  •	Why Plato believes wisdom—not popularity—is the mark of the true ruler 
  •	The famous weaving analogy: blending gentleness and courage into the soul of the statesman 
  •	A clear and modern translation that reveals the relevance of Statesman to today’s world 
  Step beyond politics as usual and explore a vision of leadership guided by reason, character, and justice.

  The Shocking Truth about...

  Relationships and happiness are two of the most talked-about and sought-after aspects of human existence. From fairy tales to modern social media trends, we are inundated with messages about what they should look like and how they should feel. Yet, despite this overwhelming focus, countless people find themselves dissatisfied, confused, or even heartbroken in their pursuit of meaningful connections and lasting joy. Why is it that something so fundamental to our lives feels so elusive?   
    
  The truth is, much of what we believe about relationships and happiness is rooted in myths, misconceptions, and societal expectations that don’t align with reality. We’re told that finding "the one" will complete us or that a perfect relationship will make all our troubles disappear. We chase milestones, like getting married or achieving career success, believing they will finally bring us happiness. But what happens when the dream doesn’t match reality? What if the problem isn’t with us, but with the stories we’ve been told?  
    
  This book was born out of a desire to unravel these myths and uncover the shocking truths about relationships and happiness. It’s not about pointing fingers or assigning blame but about understanding why we often fall short of the fulfillment we seek. It’s about looking at relationships—whether romantic, platonic, or familial—not as the sole key to happiness but as one piece of a much larger puzzle. It’s about redefining happiness itself, shifting away from fleeting moments of pleasure toward a deeper, more sustainable sense of contentment.

  Lourdes - The Famous Roman...

  You may have heard of Lourdes, a town in France where millions of people go every year, either as a tourist to take pictures or see what the hype is all about, or real believers who think that the town has a sanctity to it and can somehow cure them, help them, or inspire them through divine means. Whatever the reason for the many visitors is, it is undeniably an interesting historical heritage, something worth exploring. 
  To be precise, Lourdes is a small market town nestled in the Pyrenees' foothills. It is in the Occitanie area of southern France and is a part of the Hautes-Pyrénées department. Prior to the mid-nineteenth century, the town was well-known for the Château fort de Lourdes, a prepared castle set down atop a rocky cliff in the town's heart. 
  Today, I invite you to explore the background and historicity of this town with me, to form your own opinion, and to be open-minded to the story beneath the surface, buried in the past and brought to light in the many narratives the presenters at the site tell. Perhaps you will have the opportunity to visit it sometime yourself, and if or when you do, you will be equipped with more knowledge than the majority of the visitors. Perhaps that way, it will touch you more.

  Debunking the Lourdes Miracles...

  Lourdes is a town in south-western France which in 1858 became the site of one of the most famous Marian apparitions. The recipient of the vision, Bernadette Soubirous, was directed to start digging in a cave, and a spring was uncovered. The waters of the spring gained the reputation of possessing healing properties, and subsequently Lourdes has become one of the most popular Catholic pilgrimage sites in the world. 
      
  Currently, Lourdes is visited by between four and six million pilgrims annually, and it is estimated that over 200 million people have visited the site since 1858. 
  In 1905 Pope Pius X directed that the Lourdes Medical Bureau be established to assess claims of miraculous healing.  To date only 70 instances of healing following visits to Lourdes have been officially declared as miraculous, although anecdotal evidence of several thousand more has been claimed. 
  In the opening essay of this collection, celebrated skeptic and scholar Joseph McCabe turns his acerbic investigative eye on these events and challenges the validity of many of the healings.  This collection also includes three other short essays on other religio-political issues and an article about McCabe by J.V. Nash. 
  Contents 
  Debunking the Lourdes Miracles  
  The Church in Mexico 
  England's Religious Census 
  The Cowardice of American Scientists
