All About Love - New Visions

Bell Hooks

A New York Times bestseller and enduring classic, All About Love is the acclaimed first volume in feminist icon bell hooks' ""Love Song to the Nation"" trilogy. All About Love reveals what causes a polarized society, and how to heal the divisions that cause suffering. Here is the truth about love, and inspiration to help us instill caring, compassion, and strength in our homes, schools, and workplaces. 
“The word ‘love’ is most often defined as a noun, yet we would all love better if we used it as a verb,” writes bell hooks as she comes out fighting and on fire in All About Love. Provocative and intensely personal, renowned scholar, cultural critic and feminist bell hooks offers a proactive new ethic for a society stricken with lovelessness—not the lack of romance, but the lack of care, compassion, and unity. People are divided, she declares, by society’s failure to provide a model for learning to love.  
In this landmark book, bell hooks explores the question “What is love?” Her answers strike at both the mind and heart. Disputing that the ideal love is infused with sex and desire, she provides a new path to love that is sacred, redemptive, and healing for individuals and for a nation. All About Love is a powerful, timely affirmation of just how profoundly love and community can change hearts and minds for the better.

The Will to Power

Friedrich Nietzsche

The Will to Power by Friedrich Nietzsche
What if the very force that shapes civilizations, topples empires, and drives every human desire could be named?
In The Will to Power, Friedrich Nietzsche ventures beyond the boundaries of conventional philosophy to unveil the hidden engine of human behavior—our relentless striving for power, meaning, and self-overcoming. This posthumously compiled work gathers Nietzsche’s most unfiltered thoughts, offering a glimpse into the raw blueprint of his later philosophy.
Explore his bold dismantling of morality in its traditional form, his chilling critique of modernity and nihilism, and his radical reimagination of truth, becoming, and the eternal return. With haunting aphorisms and prophetic clarity, Nietzsche invites us to question everything we hold sacred—while hinting at a deeper, untamed potential within us.
Nietzsche’s thought has shaped existentialism, psychoanalysis, postmodernism, and countless other intellectual revolutions. His ideas remain as urgent now as they were incendiary in his time, continuing to inspire and disturb seekers of truth around the world.
This audiobook offers an immersive encounter with Nietzsche's turbulent genius, where each sentence pulses with intensity and provocation. The clear, refined AI narration captures his complex tone—measured yet piercing—making his challenging prose accessible without diminishing its depth.
Dare to listen to the voice of one of history’s most enigmatic minds and step into the storm of becoming.

Body of Knowledge Card Deck -...

Pat Ogden

Our bodies hold a wealth of knowledge that, with the right tools, we can tap into at any time. 
 
 
 
Our physical habits—of sensation, posture, and movement—reflect implicit knowledge of our histories of trauma, relationships, and resources, as well as our future possibilities. However, this wealth of information often eludes our awareness. The intention of the somatic practices in this card deck is to experientially illuminate the innate and unique knowledge that resides in our bodies, and to nurture a more deeply embodied connection with ourselves, others, and the world. 
 
 
 
The cards are divided into fifteen themes: ancestors and community, body connection, body sensation, boundaries, breath, containment, culture, five fundamental movements, grounding, mindfulness, movement, posture, the senses, positivity, resources, and the future. Our bodies have different lessons to teach us at different points in our lives, so listeners are encouraged to revisit these enlightening, somatic exercises time and again to glean new insights.

Liberty or Justice for All? - A...

Philip F. Gura

Liberty or Justice for All? brings to life four of America's greatest thinkers, whose dialogue across the ages has never been more relevant. Philip F. Gura begins his nimble tale with Jonathan Edwards, a fiery preacher who insisted that God would reward those who embraced social cooperation. One generation later, the Founding Fathers grounded their own project of civic renewal in rights and freedom. But if every citizen is guaranteed life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, does this mean America is a nation where the individual reigns supreme? 
 
 
 
America's young democracy soon found its prophet in Ralph Waldo Emerson, who preached a gospel of self-reliance, small government, and self-improvement. But with the coming of the Civil War, Emerson's triumphant individual became a cog in a vast war machine. Radical technological transformations convinced the psychologist-turned-philosopher William James that the self was more fragmented and fragile than Emerson believed. He found virtue in pluralism and diversity, seeing selfishness as the cardinal sin. Two world wars and several failed revolutions later, John Rawls, shaken by the divisions of Vietnam, sought to establish a new secular foundation for social cooperation. Over time, we have sought to hold these opposing value systems in delicate balance, promising both liberty and justice for all.
