  Dive into Jonathan Swift’s sharp satire in A Modest Proposal, one of literature’s most famous works of dark humor and social criticism. Written in 1729, Swift offers a shocking "solution" to the poverty and famine affecting Ireland, proposing the unthinkable with a calm, calculated rationale that highlights the cruelty and indifference of the ruling classes. Through biting irony, Swift forces readers to confront the realities of exploitation and dehumanization in society. 
  Narrated by Ian Michael Turrell, this audiobook brings Swift’s complex wit to life. Turrell’s performance captures the serious tone Swift adopts to drive home his satire, immersing listeners in the mock-serious prose and unrelenting logic of Swift’s voice. 
  Perfect for fans of classic literature, satire, and thought-provoking commentary, A Modest Proposal remains as impactful today as when it was first published, challenging listeners to question societal values and human compassion.

  Hey there and welcome to the second half of my memoir. Part 2 literally picks up where Part 1 left off, so don't be alarmed by the fact that Part 2 starts at Chapter 101 because it's just a continuation of Part 1 which left off at Chapter 100. By the way, if you haven't read Part 1, there's no sense in reading Part 2. You'll notice that there is no front matter other than the Table of Contents, because I'm really treating this as one single book. Anyway, it's not too complicated. Well, get ready for a very bumpy ride indeed because where Part 1 could be characterized as a talented guy who sobers up and ends up traveling the world getting in every door he knocks on, Part 2 could be characterized as a guy hell bent on destroying himself with drugs and alcohol while living in Thailand and all the chaos that goes with it, including being jailed in Thailand 5 times. By the way, what you hear here happened exactly as is spoken.

  A BOOK OF HEALING AND HOPE BY NEW ZEALAND TV JOURNALIST JEHAN CASINADER  
    
  'This is a powerful book that triumphantly celebrates life in all its complex forms.' 
  - Mental Health Foundation 
  As an award-winning TV journalist, Jehan Casinader told other people's stories - until he lost control of his own. Severely depressed, he tried everything - from mindfulness to massage; Prozac to Pilates. Was something missing? 
  This Is Not How It Ends chronicles Jehan's four-year battle with depression, and how the power of storytelling helped him to survive. He argues that many of us think our brains are broken, but in fact, our stories are broken. 
  Jehan began an experiment on himself. Could he rewrite his past? Could he reinvent his character? Could he create a whole new plot? 
  This gritty, vulnerable book will challenge readers' understanding of mental distress, and give them the tools to reshape their own life stories.

  Disease and Dishonor - A Navy...

  It takes more strength and will to survive severe mental illness than it does to become a Navy SEAL. 
  I am one of the few that has survived both experiences. On my 24th birthday I became a newly minted SEAL. Within months I had lost track of reality entirely, becoming mixed up in secret communities, psychiatric wards and showdowns with police. 
  When my mentor and friend was killed in the attack on Benghazi during my mind bending mania, I snapped. Not knowing whether I was dead or alive, hunted by hallucinations and preyed on by delusion. Some ultra powerful government organization had selected me to become a super soldier and I would die before I quit. Stealing a tow truck, breaking out of a holding cell, sending a bomb threat, there was no limit to what I would do. 
  For months I lived as an operator in a clandestine selection process for an organization that only existed in my mind. Certain things in this story only exist in my own mind and it is up to you to determine what really happened to me. It is the history of my perspective and it is as real to me as reality is to you. The story is as raw as it is true with all the gory bits of madness. 
  My aim in writing is to show you that you’re not alone. If you’re severely mentally ill you’re just like me and nothing like me at the same time. My friend, you are unique but you are not alone. I am fighting this wretched darkness with you, sword in hand.
