    Love’s Journey can be best described as a cross between a spoken word album and an audio book that combines poetry with emotional story telling. It’s more than a collection of poems about love put together. Poems written over a two-decade period organically come together to form a narrative of their own to reveal emotions as the true protagonist of this audio book. The commentaries for each poem help the story to unfold before your ears. They reveal some of the story behind the poems without giving away too much. They also provide clues to help solve some of the mysteries behind the events that inspired such deep emotions. Some mysteries presented are solvable while others aren’t and retain the book’s overall intrigue. 
    Love’s Journey tells the emotional story of my experiences with love in its various facets over the years in the form of poetry. Romantic love and heartbreak are recurring themes for most of the poems, but there are other forms of love included as well. Why write about these experiences in the form of poetry? Our individual experiences and circumstances may be something that not everyone can relate to. But emotions are universal! We all have them. My poetry is a way that I can emotionally connect with others, especially those with different life experiences. Feel your own emotions in my poetry and connect my words with your own personal experiences with love.   
    Each poem is enjoyable on its own, but the greatest reward is to be had when viewing them as an episode of a series from my real-life experiences. Listening to Love’s Journey more than once is required to unravel the love mystery that develops from the questions you will naturally ask yourself as you listen to it. You may even learn something from my journey that will benefit you on your very own journey of love. Take notes as you listen and compare them with the provided commentary as you embark on Love’s Journey!

    • Why circumcision does not reduce the incidence of AIDS or urinary tract infections, as is often claimed 
    • The deep financial incentives behind the six billion-dollar circumcision industry 
    • That the pain of circumcision is equivalent to torture, and why anesthesia is rarely used 
    • Circumcision's significant physical and mental health risks, including death 
    • Why both men and women enjoy sex more if the man is uncircumcised 
    • That adherents to Judaism or Islam may not be required to ritually circumcise their child, as is often thought

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
    Your company hits a problem nobody can solve. Then someone without a title says, "Let me try." What do you do? 
     
    Eighteen hundred years ago, an alliance of powerful lords faced that choice. An enemy warrior named Hua Xiong had cut down general after general, and no one dared ride out. Then Guan Yu, a lowly archer, stepped forward. The lords wanted him thrown out. Cao Cao poured him a cup of hot wine instead: let him try, and if he loses, deal with it then. Before the wine could cool, the answer was in. 
     
    In about 22 minutes, you will learn why a job title is information, not ability, how to replace debate with a small test you can afford to lose, and why the way you treat someone after they win decides whether they stay. 
     
    No background in Chinese history needed. Part of the Ancient Chinese Wisdom for Modern Business series: one vivid story, clear lessons, one commute.
