  • A Year of Glory and Gold - 1932 - Ireland's Jazz Age - cover

    A Year of Glory and Gold - 1932...

    The 1930s in Ireland is often thought of as a bleak period of economic stagnation and unemployment. But 1932, hailed by the Irish Press as a 'new era', was an early glimmer of the modernity and success Ireland would later reach: a sequence of events and achievements that included technological advances in travel, agriculture, home appliances and entertainment; Olympic gold medals and the meteoric rise of boxing phenomenon Jack Doyle; a spectacular Eucharistic Congress; sweepstakes and a so called gold rush; as well as the election of Éamon de Valera and transformations in politics and culture.
The soundtrack scoring all this change was the jazz craze, which landed in Ireland in the early 1930s and flourished throughout the country, loosening the conservative social and moral order of the time. Jazz brought new forms of dress, lifestyle and behaviour, exciting and exhilarating a younger generation for the future, while leaving an older generation wary of such rapid change.
A Year of Glory and Gold is an energetic and exuberant biography of a bright year in Ireland's history, combining deep archival research with spirited storytelling by one of Ireland's best-loved social historians.

  • Sacred Autumn The - Aging According To Carl Jung - Individuation Archetypes Wisdom Dreams And Transcendence In Old Age According To Jung - cover

    Sacred Autumn The - Aging...

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
Aging is not merely the passage of time—it is a profound transformation of the psyche. Inspired by Carl Gustav Jung’s legacy, The Sacred Autumn invites listeners to explore old age as a season of psychological depth, spiritual renewal, and symbolic richness. 
Rather than a period of decline, this audiobook presents aging as a culmination: a time when the mind, free from outer demands, turns inward toward wisdom, introspection, and self-realization. Jung viewed this phase as the final act of individuation, where the psyche seeks integration and meaning. Key Jungian concepts—such as the collective unconscious and the shadow—take on unique power in this stage, guiding us through the inner terrain of late life. 
Each chapter acts as a reflective guide, exploring archetypes like the Wise Old Man and the Great Mother, and offering insight into topics such as dreams in later life, the alchemy of aging, intimacy, creativity, and the transformation of family roles. The book also addresses how unresolved psychological patterns may reemerge, and how they can be healed and integrated to bring peace and clarity. 
At its core, The Sacred Autumn portrays aging as an alchemical journey—turning a lifetime of experience into symbolic gold. It is not a manual or a set of instructions, but a poetic and philosophical invitation to embrace the richness of elderhood. 
This is a work for seekers, thinkers, and anyone drawn to a deeper understanding of life’s final, most meaningful chapter. It challenges outdated views of aging and opens a path to inner wholeness, legacy, and transcendence.
