    Don't Believe Everything You...

    When it comes to making great decisions, the way you think about things is usually a lot more influential than what you actually think.
    If you ever hired a person who 'looks the part', dated someone who 'gives you a good feeling', voted for the party that 'speaks the most sense' or got into an investment that 'cannot be missed', only to realise you made a horrible mistake, you might have wondered how you ever talked yourself into it.
    Yet, still bearing the bruises, you're likely to make exactly the same decision the next time.
    The beliefs that guide your ideas and the instincts that drive your actions, are all informed by your unconscious biases, and literally every single one of us has them, which irrationally tell us one thing is good and another is bad, one thing is absolutely true and another is utterly false, and make you act less smartly than you should.
    But the good news is that you can learn to see them, to manage them and ultimately overcome them.
    In Don't Believe Everything You Think, Colin J Browne shows you how biases work, why they matter, and how to reframe your thinking to make well-founded decisions about life and work, relationships and investing, and much else in between, to vastly improve your chances of success.

    In Human, All Too Human, Friedrich Nietzsche dismantles illusions with surgical precision, guiding the reader through a world where morality, religion, and culture are re-examined under the piercing light of reason. This landmark work marks Nietzsche’s bold departure from romanticism and metaphysics, heralding his journey into free thought and psychological insight. 
    A cornerstone of modern philosophy, this collection of aphorisms and reflections challenges the very foundations of truth and belief. Explore Nietzsche’s analysis of moral prejudice, where he lays bare the constructed nature of our values. Enter the realm of the “free spirit,” a section devoted to those courageous enough to question inherited convictions. Witness his early critique of art and genius, where even beauty is not immune from inquiry. 
    Nietzsche’s influence on existentialism, psychoanalysis, and 20th-century thought is immeasurable. His words continue to stir minds and provoke debate, as relevant in our turbulent age as they were in his own. 
    Now, for the first time, immerse yourself in his unflinching vision through a pristine AI narration—delivered with crystal clarity, emotional nuance, and unwavering fidelity to the original text. Whether you’re a devoted reader of philosophy or a curious seeker, this audiobook offers a profound and accessible gateway into one of the most daring minds in history.

    Zulu Kingdom - Shaka Zulu's...

    Shaka Zulu was born in 1787 to Senzangakhona, a minor chief of the Zulu clan, and Nandi, a woman of the Langeni people. His birth was unconventional and shrouded in controversy. As a child born out of wedlock, Shaka and his mother faced rejection and humiliation from Senzangakhona’s family, leading to their exile from the Zulu kingdom. They found refuge among the Langeni and later with the Mthethwa, a powerful kingdom under the leadership of Chief Dingiswayo. These early experiences of hardship, resilience, and survival shaped Shaka’s character, instilling in him a determination to rise above adversity. 
    Growing up, Shaka displayed remarkable physical strength, intelligence, and leadership abilities. Among the Mthethwa, he trained as a warrior under Dingiswayo’s command, where he was exposed to innovative military tactics that later influenced his own strategies. He quickly gained recognition for his bravery and strategic mind, earning a place of prominence within the army. It was during this period that he began developing ideas to revolutionize warfare, questioning the effectiveness of traditional long-range throwing spears and loose battle formations. 
    The political landscape of the time was volatile. Various Nguni-speaking clans, including the Zulu, were engaged in constant skirmishes for power and resources. The Mthethwa, under Dingiswayo, sought to unify smaller groups to strengthen their influence against rival factions like the Ndwandwe, led by Zwide. Shaka’s abilities as a warrior and leader caught Dingiswayo’s attention, and he became a favored protégé. This mentorship provided Shaka with the opportunity to refine his tactical skills and forge alliances that would later aid his own rise to power.

  • The Plea of Innocence - Restoring Truth to the American Justice System - cover

    The Plea of Innocence -...

    The Plea of Innocence offers a fundamental reform of the adversarial system: plausibly innocent people may now plead innocent and require the government to search for exonerating facts; in return, they will be required to waive their right to remain silent, speak to government agents, and participate in a search for truth. 
     
     
     
    While almost all the participants within the system hope that only guilty people will be convicted, the unfortunate reality is that innocent people are convicted and imprisoned at an alarming rate. With the privatization of defense institutions, accused innocent people are themselves responsible for finding the facts that could exonerate them. Though the poor are represented by public defenders— almost no one who is charged with a crime has enough money to pay for a complete defense—it is still accused people, not public officials, who bear the entire burden of proving their innocence. 
     
     
     
    Tim Bakken believes that reform of the three-hundred-year-old adversarial system is overdue, and that the government should be responsible for searching for truth rather than being satisfied with due process. Featuring compelling evidence and concrete steps for reform, The Plea of Innocence is at once sensible and revolutionary, a must-listen for anyone invested in restoring truth to the justice system.

    A fantasy playground in an unforgiving desert. A town that refused to fail. A gambling mecca that never closes. Las Vegas. Sin City. 
    Situated in a barren desert landscape, Las Vegas exists for one reason—water. Popular as a waystation for travelers, the Las Vegas Valley attracted the attention of railroad visionaries at the end of the 19th century. After purchasing land from a local widow, the developers laid out a town in 1905. Vegas hasn’t slowed down since. 
    Building on one opportunity after another, the citizens of that railroad town refused to entertain the notion that they could fail. Buoyed by the building of Boulder Dam (now Hoover Dam) during the Great Depression, Vegas played a major role in World War II. But the war years also put Las Vegas on the radar of organized crime as a wide-open town ripe for casinos that hid extensive money-laundering operations.  
    Now a place for both families and high rollers, Las Vegas has no mercy when it comes to re-invention. In Sin City, the old constantly makes way for the new—and there’s always something new on the horizon. 
    This captivating guide tells the story of Las Vegas from prehistory to the empire building of developers. In these pages, you’ll read about local legends and gain insight into the heart of a city created for practical reasons but built on outrageous whimsy and the guts to carve its own way to greatness. 
    In this audiobook, you will learn about the following:The prehistory of a valley once filled with marshy land and flowing rivers.The role pioneers, including Mormon missionaries, played in the development of the town.The adventures and influence of founding citizens like Charles “Pop” Squires and Helen J. Stewart.And so much more!
