    This is a bundle of 3 titles, which cover the following topics: 
    Title 1: Learning to understand ourselves, the dark and the light, the kind and the cruel, that exists within each one of us, has been a driving factor in psychological studies. 
    Machiavellianism in psychology refers to a personality trait which sees a person so focused on their own interests they will manipulate, deceive, and exploit others to achieve their goals. This audiobook will dive deeper into this topic along with related factors, such as how they control and manipulate others and the consequences that come with it. This audiobook will shed some light on how to spot a manipulator and how to outwit one. Listen about various blackmail tactics and how to spot and avoid some of the most common scams on the internet. 
    Title 2: Since our various vehicles were created, from the train, to the car, to the plane, to the sub, to the rocket, our world has gotten so much smaller, now, space is the last great frontier. There is another unknown great frontier, one that we are only beginning to discover, the human mind, especially the subconscious. Our emotions, our thoughts, that gut instinct telling you something isn’t right. It’s all linked to the subconscious. 
    Our subconscious is a very powerful thing, and just like every other powerful thing in the world, it’s dangerous. In fact, our own subconscious is more dangerous to us than it is to others. 
    Title 3: Abuse. It’s wrong, it’s terrible no matter what form it takes. When most of you hear the word abuse you think of one of the physical kinds of abuse. For others, they think of a different kind of abuse, verbal, emotional, psychological, and mental; there are others, but this book focuses on verbal abuse.

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. The Turba Philosophorum, also known as Assembly of the Philosophers, is one of the oldest European alchemy texts, translated from the Arabic, like the Picatrix. It is considered to have been written c. 900 A.D. To quote Plessner, "the Turba Philosophorum, written c. 900 A.D., is a well planned and, from a literary point of view, a most remarkable attempt to put Greek alchemy into the Arabic language and to adapt it to Islamic science". Nine philosophers take part in a discussion, being, once the text has been transcribed back to the original Arabic, Anaximander, Anaximenes, Anaxagoras, Empedocles, Archelaus, Leucippus, Ecphantus, Pythagoras and Xenophanes. The statements of the philosophers, whilst usually different from the known beliefs of the pre-Socratics, are usually recognisable as outgrowths of Greek philosophy. They discuss matter, how it acts, and relate this to cosmology, with three theses presented by Xenophanes in his closing speech, being, again from Plessner: "1) The creator of the World is Allah, the God of Islam; 2) The world is of a uniform nature; 3) All creatures of the upper as well as of the lower world are composed of all four elements.

    A Room of One's Own

    Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own is a timeless and thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between women and creativity. Based on a series of lectures delivered at Cambridge University in 1928, this seminal work blends sharp wit, eloquence, and intellectual rigor to examine the systemic barriers that have historically denied women the opportunity to achieve their artistic potential. 
    Woolf argues that for women to write—and to thrive—they require financial independence and personal space, both literally and figuratively. Through vivid prose and compelling insights, she interrogates the social and cultural constraints placed on women and challenges readers to consider the enduring impact of inequality on art and literature. 
    More than a call to action, A Room of One’s Own is a celebration of the resilience of women writers and a rallying cry for the creation of a world where every voice can be heard. Profoundly relevant today, this masterpiece remains an essential read for anyone interested in gender, creativity, and the power of storytelling.

    This book contains the following three titles: 
    ADHD: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that can interfere with daily functioning. While ADHD is most commonly diagnosed in childhood, it often continues into adolescence and adulthood, affecting individuals across various stages of life. Despite its prevalence, ADHD remains misunderstood by many, leading to misconceptions and challenges for those living with it. 
    Asperger's Syndrome: Neurodiversity is the concept that neurological differences, including those seen in Asperger’s Syndrome, are a natural variation of human diversity. Instead of viewing these differences as deficits or disorders, neurodiversity encourages us to appreciate the value these variations bring to society. It emphasizes that individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome and other neurodivergent conditions offer unique perspectives, skills, and talents that are often overlooked or underappreciated in traditional settings. 
    Autism: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex and diverse condition that affects how individuals perceive, interact with, and experience the world. The term "spectrum" reflects the wide range of abilities, challenges, and unique perspectives of people with autism, making each person’s experience of ASD distinct. This book explores the spectrum of autism, delving into its traits, challenges, and remarkable strengths, as well as examining the importance of creating inclusive environments in which neurodiverse individuals can thrive.

    Why are feet so hot? When Jesus washed his bros' feet, what kind of love was he showing? Why did feet show up in poetry written during a medieval outbreak of gonorrhoea? How did early sexologists convince us that loving feet is deviant? And what did Victorian lesbians make of all this?
    These are the questions thrusting Adam Zmith into a history of toe-botherers who will guide the reader through the sex archives, the online forums and a millennium of art, with his trademark queer lens.
    Solemates will bring to light the history of this peculiarly popular kink. From Tarantino films to Bible stories, from Renaissance paintings to OnlyFans, Solemates is the rich and messy tale of our obsession with everything below the ankle, and what it reveals about how we view our bodies and our sex lives.
