Synopsis

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.

    Success May Not Be What You Think It Is 
    Grammy Award winner Kevin Olusola of the multiplatinum a cappella group Pentatonix and international life coach Donovan Dee Donnell have seen it all. They've had the applause, money, and everything people said they should be living for, only to discover that success as the world understands it is a hamster wheel--an exhausting chase that leads to emptiness. 
    In Designed to Succeed, Kevin and Donovan challenge our deeply held notions about success. They reconceptualize what it means to be a high performer, showing us that it is sustainable only in partnership with God, who designed each of us with gifts and a purpose. In Designed to Succeed, you will discover:How to break free from false identities and performance traps so you can experience a fulfilled lifeHow to develop a practical framework for aligning your decisions and desires with your God-given purposeHow to balance ambition with authenticity to attain a deeper, truer, sustainable success 
      
    You were designed to succeed, but attaining that lasting success is not achieved by listening to what other people tell you it is. It begins when you align with God, embracing the unique purpose he designed you for. Only then can you get off the hamster wheel. When you do, you will step into authentic, enduring success that will leave you fulfilled, empowered, and energized for all that is to come.

    Slow Time, Present Soul is a poetic and spiritual reflection written from a wheelchair, through the eyes of Jorge Madera. Living with Ataxia and speech impairment, the author embraces the beauty of stillness and the power of surrender. 
    In this moving audiobook, Madera explores the symbolic value of time, silence, and present living. This is not a medical memoir — it is a spiritual offering. A love letter to those living slowly, painfully, and truthfully. 
    Narrated in the voice of Adam, each chapter becomes a sacred pause — a moment of breath, presence, and deep listening. 
    Created in partnership with VIVIRLIFE.blog, Slow Time, Present Soul invites you to rest your mind, listen with your spirit, and find meaning in your slowest moments.

    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.
