  Giggle while you learn grammar! Life in the modern era means communication—so how are you coming across? You may know that the English language is anything but pure, with contributions from a jumbled mix of languages, including everything from Greek to Techno Geek. In this shrinking world, if your grammar isn't quite up to par, your customers, colleagues, friends, and family may judge you a little harshly. With so much riding on the language you use, doesn't it make sense to wrap your mind around a few simple rules of grammar? In these changing times, it's now more important than ever to be understood and to command respect, and it doesn't have to be hard. In fact, it can be a pleasure. This program pokes irreverent fun at the different parts of speech and shows you exactly how to apply them in your daily conversations, written compositions, and presentations. Let Liv Montgomery, an accomplished author and speaker, teach you in 30-minutes the ins and outs of grammar in ways your English teacher never imagined possible!

  Another year has arrived. But your outcomes stay the same. 
  Why does it feel like you’re not really moving forward? 
  You expected things to look different by now. 
  But they don’t. 
  The same thoughts repeat. 
  The same reactions follow. 
  The same patterns return. 
  What feels natural is often just what’s repeated. 
  And what’s repeated begins to feel true. 
  You don’t just think your life. 
  You live your patterns. 
  See the pattern. 
  Change your direction. 
  This is The Inside-Out Method.

  If We Had No Belief What Would...

  If we had no belief what would happen to us? - 23 July 1949 
  • Without self-knowledge we cannot go beyond the self-projected illusions of the 
  mind. 
  • It’s only in relationship that one can know oneself as one is. 
  • A mind that is filled with beliefs, dogmas, assertions and quotations is an un 
  creative, repetitive mind. 
  • Can we look at ourselves without beliefs? 
  • A mind that is quiet because it understands fear and understands itself is 
  creative. 
  • Q: Our mind knows only the known. What is it in us that drives us to find the 
  unknown, reality, or God?

  The Life Worth Living -...

  More than 2,000 years ago, Aristotle said: "let there be a law that no deformed child shall live." This idea is alive and well today. During the past century, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. argued that the United States can forcibly sterilize intellectually disabled women and philosopher Peter Singer argued for the right of parents to euthanize certain cognitively disabled infants. The Life Worth Living explores how and why such arguments persist by investigating the exclusion of and discrimination against disabled people across the history of Western moral philosophy. 
   
   
   
  Joel Michael Reynolds argues that this history demonstrates a fundamental mischaracterization of the meaning of disability, thanks to the conflation of lived experiences of disability with those of pain and suffering. Building on decades of activism and scholarship in the field, Reynolds shows how longstanding views of disability are misguided and unjust, and he lays out a vision of what an anti-ableist moral future requires. 
   
   
   
  The Life Worth Living is the first sustained examination of disability through the lens of the history of moral philosophy and phenomenology, and it demonstrates how lived experiences of disability demand a far richer account of human flourishing, embodiment, community, and politics in philosophical inquiry and beyond.

  The astonishing true story of a boy who survived the war by hiding in the Polish forest  
  Maxwell Smart was eleven years old when his entire family was killed before his eyes. He might have died along with them, but his mother selflessly ordered him to save himself. Alone in the forest, he dug a hole in the ground for shelter and foraged for food in farmers’ fields. His clothes in rags and close to starvation, he repeatedly escaped death at the hands of Nazis and Ukrainian thugs. 
  After months alone, Maxwell encountered a boy wandering in the forest looking for food. Janek was also alone; like Maxwell he had just become an orphan, and the two quickly became friends. They built a bunker in the ground to survive through the winter. One day, after a massacre took place nearby, the boys discovered a baby girl, still alive, lying in the arms of her dead mother. Maxwell and Janek rescued the baby, but this act came at a great cost.  
  Max’s epic tale of heroism will inspire with its proof of the enduring human spirit. From the brutality of war emerges a man who would become a celebrated artist, offering the world, in contrast to the horrors of his suffering, beautiful works of art. The Boy in the Woods is a remarkable historical document about a time that should never be forgotten. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
