  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  Confront the hidden costs of ambition that success culture never mentions while driving you toward achievements that may destroy what matters most. This sobering audiobook examines the physical health consequences, relationship damage, psychological toll, and spiritual emptiness that ambitious pursuit often creates. Learn why driven people frequently achieve their goals only to discover the price was far higher than the reward, a realization that comes too late to undo the damage. The narrator presents research on executive burnout, successful people who regret their choices, and the hedonic treadmill that keeps ambitious individuals perpetually unsatisfied regardless of achievement. Discover how ambition becomes addiction, using the same neurological pathways as substances while society celebrates rather than treats the condition. Understand the opportunity costs of intense career focus, including missed childhood moments, neglected friendships, and postponed living that can never be recovered. This audiobook challenges cultural narratives glorifying hustle, grind, and relentless pursuit while offering alternative frameworks for meaningful success. Learn to recognize when ambition serves your genuine wellbeing versus when it operates as compensatory behavior masking deeper needs. Essential listening for driven professionals questioning whether their path leads where they truly want to go, and anyone seeking balance between achievement and fulfillment.

  The Appleman and The Poet

  The Appleman and the Poet, the fifth volume of Hubert Butler's essays, completes a thirty-year odyssey embarked upon by The Lilliput Press in 1984. Our flagship author has finally come home, welcomed by Fintan O'Toole in his foreword: 'One of the great joys of these essays is the discovery of sentences as sharp and lithe as a Toledo rapier.' Beginning with 'Russian Dispatches 1932–1946,' Butler gives an evocative description – from the viewpoint of a bourgeois teacher – of a society in dissolution, before the onset of Stalin's Great Purge, as show farms give way to show trials, the iron curtain descends across Europe, and Communism and Christianity lock horns. Part Two, 'Peace News Papers 1948–1958,' largely derives from the weekly Peace News, in which Butler debates and defends with steely precision Ireland's neutrality, pacifism, and the integrity of Yugoslavia, 'where we know that in 1941 and 1942 one very pious government [Croatia's] perpetrated the greatest massacre in the history of Christendom.' 'Autobiographies' contains some of Butler's most affecting work. It describes his parents and home at Maidenhall; details his education in England; reflects on a universal sexuality; has a poignant piece about deafness; and concludes with the Virgilian essay of the book's title. Part Four, 'Musings of an Irish Protestant,' expresses Butler's potent sense of an Anglo-Irish identity and community: from the 'right of private judgment' proclaimed at the 1782 Dungannon Convention, in a line of descent from Charlemont, Henry Grattan, Wolfe Tone and Emmet, via Thomas Davis, Standish O'Grady, Parnell and Arthur Griffith, to Yeats and the men of 1916 – all independent spirits. 'Family Matters' addresses the Butler clan at home and abroad, with essays taken from the Journal of the Butler Society. 'History and Literature under Review' assembles newspaper and journal pieces on diverse subjects: Swift, Yeats, Horace Plunkett, Enid Starkie, Rebecca West (in Yugoslavia), the Holocaust, Early Irish saints, Hans Küng, Teilhard de Chardin, and Ronald Reagan and the American Wall of Separation (between Church and State) in the 1980s. The Appleman and the Poet places a capstone upon a project begun with Escape from the Anthill in 1985. Butler's essays, written over six decades, establish him as one of Ireland's great twentieth- century prose writers and thinkers.

  More than forty million Americans claim Irish ancestry. This lively illustrated book, divided into parts exploring myths, legends, and folktales, explains for the U.S. audience the importance of storytelling in Irish culture in particular. In ancient Ireland, a good storyteller was so valued that he would be a member of the aos dána, the bards, and would be welcomed into every village because he came bearing tales. From the One-Eyed Giant to the Salmon of Knowledge to beloved "fairy" tales, the author—a seanchaí (traditional storyteller) herself—presents a fascinating collection that places these archetypal tales in historical context.

  Violins of Hope - Violins of the...

  The violin has formed an important aspect of Jewish culture for centuries, both as a popular instrument with classical Jewish musicians—Jascha Heifetz, Yehudi Menuhin, Itzhak Perlman—and also a central factor of social life as part of the enduring Klezmer tradition. But during the Holocaust, the violin assumed extraordinary new roles within the Jewish community. For some musicians, the instrument was a liberator; for others, it was a savior that spared their lives. For many, the violin provided comfort in mankind's darkest hour, and, in at least one case, helped avenge murdered family members. Above all, the violins of the Holocaust represented strength and optimism for the future. 
   
   
   
  In Violins of Hope, music historian James A. Grymes tells the amazing, horrifying, and inspiring story of the violins of the Holocaust, and of Amnon Weinstein, the renowned Israeli violinmaker who has devoted the past twenty years to restoring these instruments in tribute to those who were lost, including 400 members of his own family. Juxtaposing tales of individual violins with one man's harrowing struggle to reconcile his own family's history and the history of his people, it is a poignant, affecting, and ultimately uplifting look at the Holocaust and its enduring impact.
