    What if the most admired teacher in philosophy couldn’t show you how to live well? 
In Clitophon, Plato gives voice to a disillusioned disciple. Clitophon, once captivated by Socrates’ speeches, now questions their value—arguing that Socrates inspires but never instructs. In this brief yet bold exchange, the roles of teacher and student are reversed.

    One Perfect Day – Hungary 1956 is the profoundly moving story of Veronika Csosz, her experiences during the 1956 Hungarian Uprising and her traumatic escape. Veronika's story is also about young people with an unshakeable desire to be free of the fear, violence and oppression of Communist rule which, on a beautiful autumn day, led to the tragic events of 1956. Despite calls for help to the leaders of the free world, Hungary's fight for freedom was overshadowed by the international stand-off over the Suez Canal. Help never came, and the desperate fight for democracy was crushed by the Soviet Army just days after freedom seemed to be won.

    Two pioneering researchers identify key causes of workplace burnout and reveal what managers can do to promote increased productivity and health. 
 
 
 
Citing a wealth of research data and drawing on illustrative anecdotes, The Burnout Challenge shows how organizations can change to promote sustainable productivity. Christina Maslach and Michael P. Leiter provide useful tools for identifying the signs of employee burnout, most often exhaustion, cynicism, and ineffectiveness. They also advise managers on assembling and interpreting worker self-evaluation surveys, which can reveal workplace problems and potential solutions. And when it comes to implementing change, Maslach and Leiter offer practical, evidence-driven guidance. The key, they argue, is to begin with less-taxing changes that employees nonetheless find meaningful, seeding the ground for more thorough reforms in the future. 
 
 
 
Experts estimate that more than $500 billion and 550 million workhours are lost annually to on-the-job stress, much of it caused by dysfunctional work environments. As priorities and policies shift across workplaces, The Burnout Challenge provides pragmatic, creative, and cost-effective solutions to improve employee efficiency, health, and happiness.

    The Antichrist by Friedrich Nietzsche 
What if everything you believed about morality, religion, and truth was built on a lie? 
In The Antichrist, Friedrich Nietzsche unleashes a thunderous critique of Christianity and its moral foundations, challenging the pillars of Western thought with fiery precision. A cornerstone of his late philosophy, this work is both an assault on complacent belief systems and a bold declaration of the will to power, vitality, and individual greatness. 
Nietzsche, a prophet of existentialism and iconoclasm, invites the listener to confront uncomfortable truths. Through razor-sharp aphorisms, he dissects the psychology of faith, the decay of values, and the rise of decadence disguised as virtue. In powerful passages, he exposes how pity can weaken the spirit, how priestly morality undermines life itself, and how the figure of Christ has been distorted into a symbol of weakness rather than strength. 
Each chapter is a spark that ignites reflection, rebellion, or revelation—yet never leaves you indifferent. 
More than a philosophical manifesto, The Antichrist remains a cultural lightning rod. Its bold vision continues to resonate in modern debates about freedom, authenticity, and the role of religion in human progress. For thinkers, seekers, and those who dare to question, this audiobook offers a direct channel to one of history’s most electrifying minds. 
Narrated with the precision and poise of advanced AI voice technology, this edition ensures clarity, rhythm, and accessibility—ideal for absorbing Nietzsche’s provocative arguments while immersed in thought or motion. 
Dare to confront the uncomfortable. Challenge the herd. Listen to The Antichrist and enter the mind of a philosopher who burned with the desire to awaken humanity from its moral slumber. 
Experience it now—let the voice of Nietzsche echo through your mind.
