Beschreibung

When George Mitchell described his time helping broker peace in Northern Ireland, he said, 'We had 700 bad days and then one good day, which changed the course of history.'
One Good Day is the fascinating insider account of those negotiations from diplomat David Donoghue, then the Irish head of the Anglo-Irish Secretariat in Belfast. It explores the complex, delicate and often frustrating series of talks that drew the Troubles to an end.
April 2023 marks the 25-year anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, hailed internationally as a near-miracle of collective collaboration, compromise and diplomacy. One Good Day offers an absorbing perspective on the drama of the negotiations from someone who was right at the centre of the action, alongside all the key players such as Martin McGuinness, Gerry Adams, John Hume, Bill Clinton, Bertie Ahern and Mo Mowlam.

    ‘You Only Need Permission from Yourself’ is an honest and empowering look at what it means to heal, grow, and live life on your own terms. Through personal stories and deep reflection, Jaynette Lancaster invites readers to question the silent rules they’ve been taught and to let go of the belief that anyone else holds the key to their happiness or success. This book speaks directly to those who’ve been told to stay quiet, play small, or wait for permission. Jaynette challenges that mindset with warmth and clarity, drawing from her own journey through heartbreak, emotional abuse, professional pressure, and the raw work of rebuilding. She shares how she found strength in vulnerability, clarity in solitude, and peace in choosing herself—over and over again. Each chapter explores a different piece of the healing puzzle, from understanding emotional conditioning to navigating mental health, building resilience, and reclaiming your voice. Jaynette’s message is clear: your story matters, your voice is valid, and your life belongs to you. Written with honesty, compassion, and grit, ‘You Only Need Permission from Yourself’ is both a mirror and a guide for anyone ready to stop seeking outside validation and start living with intention. It’s not just a book. It’s a call to finally choose yourself—and mean it.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    From its very beginnings as a penal colony, Australia's justice system was designed not for fairness, but for control. From Penal Colony to Paper Justice investigates how this history continues to shape modern courts, laws, and policing. 
    This hard-hitting exposé explores: 
    The colonial foundations of punishment and control. 
    How British legal traditions still dominate an "independent" nation. 
    The role of judges, police, and public servants in maintaining the system. 
    Real-world cases that reveal systemic injustice. 
    The cost to ordinary citizens - financial, social and personal. 
    Practical solutions for a fairer, more transparent legal system. 
    Blending history, analysis, and shocking examples, this book challenges the illusion of equality before the law. It shows how justice often functions as "paper justice" - words and procedures that protect power while leaving ordinary people vulnerable. 
    Engaging, uncompromising, and thought-provoking, this audiobook is for anyone who wants to understand the truth behind Australia’s justice system - and what must change for it to finally deliver justice for all.

    A riveting investigation of the utopian experiments attempting to resist the unrelenting demands of late-stage capitalism—only to end up living comfortably alongside it What do post‑work politics, the cult of crypto, clubbing, and polyamory have in common? All have spawned thriving subcultures united in their rejection of the patriarchal capitalist order: from wage labor, to the reign of the shareholder class over capital markets, to romantic relationships that feel like contractual arrangements to be negotiated, and more.People Who Lunch is about hating work and needing to work, intimacy and technology, labor and leisure, and the challenge of living our ideals in a less than ideal world. In it, Sally Olds brings her “unsparing scrutiny to bear…as she grapples with the sense of entrapment in the machinery of capitalism and remorseless logic of commodification” (ABC Arts). In one essay, Olds’s brief flirtation with post-monogamy forces her to confront the emotional prison of the “open relationship”; in another, a multi-hour viewing of a critically acclaimed performance art piece highlights how even the highest forms of culture exist to convert pleasure into capital. In the end, her forays into these colorful worlds betray a deep irony: escaping a system built on the exchange of wage labor is, quite simply, a lot of work.
