  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  This is not a story about fixing a child. It is a story about learning how to fight for one. 
  When Riley began showing signs of neurodivergence at age three, his mother was thrust into a fragmented system of complex labels, conflicting guidance, and unanswered questions. What followed was a near decade-long journey of advocacy—navigating therapies, schools, medical decisions, and the emotional weight that comes with raising a neurodivergent child. 
  Spanning Riley’s early childhood through pre-adolescence, this memoir blends raw, honest storytelling with practical, hard-earned insight. Written for newly diagnosed parents, long-term caregivers, educators, therapists, and professionals, it offers perspectives that can’t be found in textbooks—only through lived experience. 
  At its heart, this is a story of resilience, fierce love, and the determination to show up again and again when the path forward feels uncertain. 
  Kristen Durham is an author, mother, and advocate living in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. She holds a master’s degree in Psychology and is a former licensed massage therapist. Now a writer and aspiring day trader, Kristen brings adaptability, analytical thinking, resilience, and persistence to her work. Her writing offers clarity, validation, and hope to those supporting neurodivergent children.

  Life Is Short - An Appropriately...

  Why life's shortness—more than anything else—is what makes it meaningful 
   
   
   
  Death might seem to render pointless all our attempts to create a meaningful life. Doesn't meaning require transcending death through an afterlife or in some other way? On the contrary, Dean Rickles argues, life without death would be like playing tennis without a net. Only constraints—and death is the ultimate constraint—make our actions meaningful. In Life Is Short, Rickles explains why the finiteness and shortness of life is the essence of its meaning—and how this insight is the key to making the most of the time we do have. 
   
   
   
  Life Is Short explores how death limits our options and forces us to make choices that forge a life and give the world meaning. But people often live in a state of indecision, in a misguided attempt to keep their options open. This provisional way of living—always looking elsewhere, to the future, to other people, to other ways of being, and never committing to what one has or, alternatively, putting in the time and energy to achieve what one wants—is a big mistake, and Life Is Short tells listeners how to avoid this trap. By reminding us how extraordinary it is that we have any time to live at all, Life Is Short challenges us to rethink what gives life meaning and how to make the most of it.

  The Philosophy of Social Ecology...

  Murray Bookchin, Todd McGowan

  What is nature? What is humanity's place in nature? And what is the relationship of society to the natural world? In an era of ecological breakdown, answering these questions has become of momentous importance for our everyday lives and for the future that we and other life-forms face. In the essays of The Philosophy of Social Ecology, Murray Bookchin confronts these questions head on: invoking the ideas of mutualism, self-organization, and unity in diversity, in the service of ever expanding freedom. 
   
   
   
  Refreshingly polemical and deeply philosophical, these essays take issue with technocratic and mechanistic ways of understanding and relating to, and within, nature. More importantly, they develop a solid, historically and politically based ethical foundation for social ecology, the field that Bookchin himself created and that offers us hope in the midst of our climate catastrophe.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  What if you're already enough? 
  In a world obsessed with morning routines, habit tracking, and constant self-improvement, Tomer Rozenberg offers a radical alternative. 
  "1% Daily" isn't about optimizing your life, it's about occasionally remembering you're living it. 
  Through gentle observations and practical wisdom, Rozenberg demonstrates how even the smallest moments can shift how an entire day feels. 
  This isn't another system to master or habit to track. It's permission to be human in a world of self-optimization. An invitation to notice the small choices you're already making and sometimes, just sometimes, make them consciously. 
  "We've become a culture obsessed with metrics. Everything must be tracked, quantified, and optimized. We don't just go for walks anymore; we count steps. We don't just eat; we track macros." 
  Tomer Rozenberg is Head of Innovation for a government ministry and holds degrees in political science, economics, and diplomacy. His background in institutional systems and insight into human behavior inform the way he approaches life’s everyday moments. In 1% Daily, he shares the philosophy behind his work: life’s meaning emerges not from optimization, but from occasionally remembering that we’re already living it.

  One of the very first books to offer feminist insights and critiques of business to the practicing manager, business student, and non-academic, this provocative volume offers a fresh, positive vision that makes feminist thought accessible and relevant. Feminism: A Key Idea for Business and Society boldly challenges assumptions about both feminism and business. This provocative book:-- Offers a primer on feminism for business and explains feminist interventions including adding women's voices, pushing for equality, and practicing feminist values to make businesses more successful and more just. -- Analyzes the obstacles organizations and individuals face in their efforts to address gender inequality. -- Illustrates how feminist interventions have changed the terms of business conversations around topics such as defining work, centering the economy around care, how jobs work and wages are gendered, violence in the workplace, horizontal and peer-to-peer organizational structures that don't depend on dominance, enlightened leadership models, and power. Feminism has already had a profound impact on business, with many of its key tenets incorporated into business thinking.  With the insights revealed in this book, we can see how applying feminist perspectives to business can liberate our understanding of work and management.
