  Buckle up, health warriors and vitality seekers – because we're diving headfirst into the whirlwind life of **Viktoras Kulvinskas**, the Lithuanian lightning bolt who electrified the world of holistic healing! Born on February 23, 1939, in the resilient heart of Kaunas, Lithuania, amid the thunder of World War II, Viktoras burst onto the scene like a supernova – a kid forged in fire, destined to outshine the stars of conventional medicine with the raw, radiant energy of nature's own superfoods! 
  Picture this: A young Viktoras, sharp as a laser, storms the halls of academia, earning his Master's in pure mathematics from the University of Connecticut. He's not just crunching numbers – he's decoding the universe! Teaching math at the same university, his mind races like a high-octane engine, consulting for the elite: MIT's brainiacs, the Smithsonian's cosmic explorers, Harvard's heavy-hitters, and even the Apollo Project's moonshot dreamers. But hold on tight – this rocket scientist's heart was screaming for something bigger, bolder, *bursting* with life! In 1967, fate flips the script: Viktoras discovers the electric pulse of the natural health movement through Dr. Ann Wigmore's Rising Sun Christianity in Boston. Boom! He heals himself from the inside out, trading calculators for wheatgrass juicers, and within two heart-pounding years, he and Ann ignite the **Hippocrates Health Institute** – America's first holistic health powerhouse, born in 1956 and supercharged in the late '60s! 
  Fast-forward to today, and at 86 years young, Viktoras is still blazing trails from his vibrant haven in Montezuma, Costa Rica – a living testament that age is just a number when your fuel is pure, plant-powered fire! And now you get to immerse yourself in his audiobook where he give you his ALL! "There are no incurable diseases if you harmonize with nature's roar!" Enjoy!

  What happens when toxicity invades a life at every turn? 
   
   
   
  A 1963 murder leads to a decade-long journey for a son to uncover truths about his family, an American town, and ultimately himself. 
   
   
   
  In the "Crossroads of America," three active-duty US Army paratroopers commit a more heinous crime than the one they are trying to cover up. Their arrests and trial shock and divide residents of the town between those who see the soldiers as heroes and those who view them as cold-blooded killers. 
   
   
   
  Author Dan Melchior unearths the story of Rudolph Ziemer, known by some as the "Queer Undertaker." Along the way, he uncovers forgotten often toxic stories involving the Cold War and the Jim Crow south, infidelity, addiction, bigotry, murders, and accidents all woven into the fabric of one woman's life as a laboring silk finisher. The stories link the Civil Rights era to World War II to the march of the MAGA movement and parallel the divisions and challenges facing America today. Journey along with Melchior as he discovers how one man's murder—someone he never knew—led him to a deeper understanding of his family, his beliefs, his country, and his triumphant relationship with his mom, a silk finisher.

  Niall Harbison is a dog hero based in Thailand. He spends his days feeding, caring for and rescuing the many street dogs he comes across. With every rescue there’s a story.

And who could resist the puppy eyes of little Rodney, the beautiful dog with big paws who is melting millions of hearts around the world.

  Croc - How I Invented the...

  Lessons on life and business you are guaranteed to find nowhere else. 
  The true, larger-than-life story of George “Boe” Boedecker, his fire to succeed, his “don’t just break the rules but make up new ones” attitude, his partners, his light bulb moment, the ridiculous origin story (of both shoe and man), and then the explosion (in more ways than one) of Crocs. 
  This is a modern-day ‘Big Fish’ tale of lovers and haters, rivals and thieves, the hard partying, the strongest man in the world and the Mexican police, the fender bender with Fleetwood Mac and the enterprising way into the hearts of the San Francisco 49ers, the little boy lost and Superman, the millions made and just given away, and how it nearly destroyed him. 
  Boe helped create the clunkiest – many would say ugliest – looking shoe in the world, which also became the best-selling non-sneaker brand on the planet. Everyone considered it a fad when he went public almost two decades ago – and it’s bigger now than it’s ever been, with billions and billions on feet in every corner of the world. More hated, more loved, never out of fashion. Ugly is beautiful…  
  We’re not talking about the shoe anymore. 
  In Croc, Boe tells his wild story through lessons on life and leadership that you are guaranteed not to find anywhere else. Strap in because it’s going to be a crazy ride, and you may be surprised at what you learn in the end. Funny, twisted, touching, exuberant. Sample lessons include:Do Not Listen to AnyoneWhen to Not Follow the RulesAvoid BossesYou Never Know When Opportunity Will Present ItselfIf You Threaten to Kill Your Brother-in-Law, Do Not Provide Time and Place.Ugly is Beautiful
