  This is an audiobook of the classic title Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner, narrated by Jonathan Nelson.
   
  --------------------------------
   
  "I set out to study and practice Vipassana meditation in India fifty years ago. Then, as now, I characterized myself as both a spiritual seeker and a writer. During the six months that I sojourned in meditation centers and monasteries, observing the strict rules of retreat, I nevertheless spent several hours a day feverishly filling notebooks by lamplight with tightly packed script legible only to me, recording my internal experiences.
   
  I wanted to tell a story, because I am by nature a story teller, but on my return to America I was a bit disconcerted to find that my detailed accounts read like data recorded by a naturalist hidden in the bush observing the behavior of a strange creature in the wild, information that would have little interest to anyone except an extreme specialist in the field.
   
  Up until then my unpublished works were lightly fictionalized autobiographical accounts of my young life, but fiction wouldn’t be accurate enough to tell this tale. Instead, I created a protagonist, a bit of a hero, who was both me and not me, Eric Lerner. I re-created the external world of people and teachers and places he’d encountered, as well as ideas and beliefs adopted and discarded. In other words, a setting and a plot. All of it was real, or real enough, the product of memory and interpretation, a new veracity. A memoir."

  The Not So Empty Nest - A How-to...

  Julie Lythcott-Haims, New York Times bestselling author of How to Raise an Adult, returns with a guide to successful—even joyful—multigenerational living for parents and adult children under the same roof.When Julie Lythcott-Haims’s twenty-year-old son moved back into the family home, they couldn’t help feeling that they had failed as a parent. They were the parenting expert who advised on raising self-sufficient kids. What had they missed? ​They discovered their family wasn’t unique—according to a 2023 Bloomberg poll, 45 percent of Americans aged eighteen to twenty-nine now live with their parents. Some families are helping children with neurodivergence, learning differences, and mental health challenges that lengthen the independence timeline. And many families are grappling with astronomical housing costs that make living on one’s own a struggle for young people. Still, they worried that their family had failed. As they settled into cohabiting, however, they came to realize that living with her adult child offered a rare opportunity for their family to connect.Wanting to help others in her situation, Lythcott-Haims got to work on The Not So Empty Nest, a practical guide to multigenerational living, aimed toward parents and adult children in a time when large numbers of them are returning to, or staying in, their family homes in their twenties and sometimes beyond. In addition, they speak to families who may also be caring for elders, as was the case for Lythcott-Haims, whose mother was a household member.With wisdom grounded in case studies, psychology, and, most of all, their own experience, The Not So Empty Nest grapples with the most common issues parents and adult children face when they are living under the same roof: upkeep of the shared home, norms for communication, skill-building, money, power struggles, identity and beliefs, and how to reset a difficult dynamic.Frank, conversational, and accessible, The Not So Empty Nest is a practical guide to living cooperatively in a world where parents and adult children lead increasingly intertwined lives.Accompanied by black-and-white illustrations throughout.

  Countdown - The Blinding Future...

  Nuclear weapons are, today, as important as they were during the Cold War, and some experts say we could be as close to a nuclear catastrophe now as we were at the height of that conflict. Despite that, conversations about these bombs generally often happen in past tense. 
   
   
   
  In Countdown, science journalist Sarah Scoles uncovers a different atomic reality: the nuclear age's present. Drawing from years of on-the-ground reporting at the nation's nuclear weapons labs, Scoles interrogates the idea that having nuclear weapons keeps us safe, deterring attacks and preventing radioactive warfare. She deftly assesses the existing nuclear apparatus in the United States, taking readers beyond the news headlines and policy-speak to reveal the state of nuclear-weapons technology, as well as how people currently working within the United States nuclear weapons complex have come to think about these bombs and the idea that someone, someday, might use them. 
   
   
    
  Through a sharp, surprising, and undoubtedly urgent narrative, Scoles brings us out of the Cold War and into the twenty-first century, opening listeners' eyes to the true nature of nuclear weapons and their caretakers while also giving us the context necessary to understand the consequences of their existence, for worse and for better, for now and for the future.
