Sinossi

What drives civilization forward? Is it technology, instinct, resilience—or something more elusive, buried deep in the human psyche? The Hidden Engines of Change explores three radically different but strikingly interconnected worlds: the race to develop superintelligent AI, the primal instincts that decide who survives in a disaster, and the overlooked brilliance of unconventional athletes who reshape what strength means.
 
In these pages, you’ll journey from the secretive corridors of artificial intelligence labs to the trembling ground of psychological survival, and onto hardwood courts where mass meets mastery. While the topics span science, psychology, and sport, they are united by one compelling thread: the unexpected forces—mental, cultural, biological, and technological—that shape our lives more than we realize.
 
Whether it’s a machine learning to think, a brain fighting to survive, or a body challenging what’s “fit,” this collection dares to confront assumptions and reframe the boundaries of human and post-human potential.
 
When the tipping point comes—technological, emotional, or physical—will we recognize the power that’s already been quietly transforming us all along?

    Ever wondered about the paths of our ancestors? Wetion (2nd edn) appeals to those open to discovering ways to chart a future using lessons from the past. 
    There’s a part of us all in Addy’s tale. Combining 19 chapters of interconnected short stories with ten scene play, each with its own original song, listeners experience words making history, alongside the drama, tragedies, romance, lessons, lore and more. 
    Addy is the character connecting early human history to the present. Using a DNA test, he establishes the migration routes of the ancestors and conducts an experiment. Using plants gathered from places once inhabited, he concocts a salad. If his theory was correct, consumption would unlock deep memories of ancestors’ past. What follows is a state of altered consciousness too real to be a dream. 
    The highs and lows of 2,000 generations are told in stories revealing the meaning of Wetion. 
    This novel provides a new multimedia experience, is the first of a trilogy and only available in audiobook format. Experimental fiction it is, laced with homage to the bards. 
    Wetion is a 2026 Audie Award entrant for Best Production and Sound Design.

    Refugees - The Crisis of...

    The refugee crisis is one of the most pressing humanitarian challenges of our time. Across the globe, millions of individuals are forced to flee their homes due to conflict, violence, persecution, and natural disasters. These displaced individuals, known as refugees, face an uncertain future, often enduring unimaginable hardships in their quest for safety and stability. As of recent estimates, more than 100 million people have been forcibly displaced, with a significant portion seeking refuge in countries that already face their own social, political, and economic challenges. The sheer scale and complexity of the crisis demand urgent attention from governments, international organizations, and civil society to find sustainable solutions. 
      
    The root causes of displacement are multifaceted. Armed conflicts, such as the civil war in Syria and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, have displaced millions, while ethnic and religious persecution continues to push people from their homelands. Climate change is also playing an increasingly significant role, with droughts, floods, and rising sea levels displacing whole communities. The combination of political instability, economic hardship, and environmental degradation has created a perfect storm of displacement, and the numbers continue to rise. 
      
    Despite the challenges refugees face, their resilience and determination to rebuild their lives are evident. In host countries, refugees contribute to their new communities, often starting businesses, integrating into the workforce, and enriching cultural diversity. However, their journey is far from easy. Many refugees face barriers to legal recognition, limited access to basic services, and widespread xenophobia and discrimination. The experience of displacement is often marked by a sense of loss—of home, identity, and a sense of belonging.

    A hostile takeover is an aggressive maneuver in which one entity seizes control of another against its will. While the term is most commonly associated with corporate battles, hostile takeovers can occur in politics, criminal organizations, personal relationships, and even social groups. At its core, a hostile takeover is about power—gaining it, consolidating it, and using it to reshape an entity to serve the interests of the aggressor. Unlike consensual mergers or voluntary leadership transitions, hostile takeovers are marked by conflict, resistance, and strategic maneuvering. 
    In the corporate world, a hostile takeover typically occurs when one company seeks to acquire another without the consent of its board of directors. This is often done by purchasing a majority of shares on the open market, launching a tender offer to shareholders, or engaging in a proxy battle to replace leadership. The targeted company may attempt to defend itself using tactics such as poison pills, white knight rescues, or legal challenges, but once control is seized, the acquiring entity dictates the company's future direction. Corporate hostile takeovers are often driven by financial gain, market dominance, or strategic positioning, but they can also be fueled by personal vendettas or ideological shifts. 
    Beyond the business realm, hostile takeovers manifest in political settings as coups, regime changes, and leadership purges. Throughout history, governments have been overthrown through military force, manipulation of laws, or exploitation of public sentiment. Political leaders who rise to power through hostile means often implement sweeping changes, consolidating authority and eliminating opposition to solidify their control. These takeovers can reshape entire nations, alter global relations, and redefine ideologies, demonstrating the far-reaching consequences of power struggles.

    This audiobook unites two profound works by visionary mystic Neville Goddard: "He Breaks the Shell" (1964) and "I Know My Father" (1960), paired with an exclusive guided meditation by Richard Hargreaves to deepen your journey of self-realization. Blending timeless spiritual philosophy with actionable practices, this special edition invites you to transcend limitations, reclaim your divine identity, and awaken the creator within.  In He Breaks the Shell, Neville unveils the transformative process of resurrection as an awakening within the “sepulcher” of the human skull—a mystical rebirth into your Christ-consciousness. Through vivid scriptural analysis and firsthand mystical testimony, he reveals how God’s four mighty acts (resurrection, fatherhood, temple-splitting, and divine affirmation) dismantle the “shell” of mortal identity, birthing you as “the image of the invisible God.” This esoteric masterwork reframes biblical prophecy as an inward journey: “God became man that man may become God.”  I Know My Father distills Neville’s cornerstone teaching: “Your awareness of being is God.” Here, he dismantles illusions of separation, reframing “God” as your I AM presence—the formless awareness that molds reality. Through razor-sharp insights, Neville empowers you to shed limiting attachments, wield consciousness as the “foundation stone” of creation, and manifest desires by “wearing” new states of being. “To claim ‘I AM free’ is to let your savior in,” he teaches—a call to dissolve lack through radical self-revaluation.   
    The meditation by Hargreaves is designed to anchor Neville’s teachings into daily practice. Through breathwork, visualization, and manifestation techniques, this immersive session helps you manifest from unwavering faith.   
    "He Breaks the Shell and I Know My Father—Special Edition" is a roadmap to self-deification. Neville’s revelations dissolve the illusion of separation, empowering you to wield imagination consciously and sculpt a life of purpose.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    We often seem to be living in an extroverted world—it is the route to attention. We teach our children to speak up, not be shy, and encourage them to be bold. Even our parents would tell us that “the squeaky wheel gets the oil!” The media tells us that the person willing to be the loudest will win the reality show, get the recording contract, get hits on YouTube… Growing up, we were encouraged to find our voice, choose a research area, and set the framework for a lifetime profession. 
    Many claims that Americans live in an “extroverted society” that rewards extroverted behavior and rejects introversion. This is because the United States is currently a culture of personality, whereas other cultures are cultures of character. Being an introvert in an extrovert’s world is doable—maybe even pleasant. And maybe the world does not truly belong to one or the other, but to the symbiosis between the two. The most important point to remember is that both types are equally important in their worth and contributions to society. Introverts should not be viewed as the “underdog” or disadvantaged because they are less outgoing or verbal. We have all heard of famous introverts such as Bill Gates, Steven Spielberg, J. K. Rowling, Albert Einstein, Jane Austen, Thomas Jefferson, and Mahatma Gandhi, individuals who, through their quiet ways, have made a tremendous impact on human culture. 
    In this book, you will learn all about introverted and extroverted personalities, the right way to communicate, and the solutions to success today.
