  What if your peace of mind was the highest form of wisdom? 
  In Charmides, Plato presents a timeless dialogue that gently peels back the layers of self-control, modesty, and knowledge. Socrates engages the charming and reflective youth Charmides in a quest to define “temperance”—a word that touches everything from our moral compass to our emotional balance. 
  Through careful questions and subtle insights, this modern audiobook brings to life a powerful but often overlooked dialogue—one that asks whether the truest form of strength lies in knowing, and governing, oneself. 
  What you’ll discover inside: 
  •	A subtle but profound inquiry into temperance, modesty, and inner harmony 
  •	Socratic questioning at its most reflective, unraveling assumptions with grace 
  •	A fresh look at the link between virtue and knowledge 
  •	A translation that retains the poetic charm and intellectual clarity of the original 
  Whether you’re seeking calm in a chaotic world or pondering the nature of self-discipline, Charmides is a philosophical mirror worth holding up to the soul.

  Daniel P. Todes provides concise introduction to the life and science of the great Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936). Todes weaves together Pavlov's life, values, context, and science by focusing upon his quest to understand the psyche and the "torments of our consciousness." 
   
   
   
  This introduction follows the origins and maturation of Pavlov's quest from his early life in a priestly family in provincial Riazan, to his struggles and late professional success in the glittering capital of St. Petersburg, through the cataclysmic destruction of his world during the Bolshevik seizure of power and civil war of 1917-1921, to the rebuilding of his life in his 70s as a "prosperous dissident" during the Leninist 1920s, and his success and personal torments in 1929-1936 during the industrialization, cultural revolution, and terror of Stalin times. 
   
   
   
  Beyond a basic biography, Todes devotes particular attention to Pavlov's Nobel Prize-winning research on digestion (1891-1903) and his iconic studies of conditional reflexes and higher nervous activity (1903-1936), as well as his experiments with dogs. Todes shows that Pavlov was not a behaviorist, did not use a bell, and was uninterested in training dogs. The Russian scientist sought to explain not merely external behaviors, but the emotional and intellectual life of animals and humans.
