  Yang Chu’s Garden of Pleasure -...

  Yáng Zhū, Anton Forke

  Not all Chinese philosophers were concerned with ethics or society. The most famous figure on the other side is the Epicurus of China, The Yáng Zhū.  
  While it forms Book 7 of the canonical Daost text Lièzǐ (列子), it is so different to the rest of that work that James Legge, the first English translator, refused to include it in his Lieh Tzu, viewing it as "negative Daoism" or a pleasure-seeking leftover from a prior, less spiritual age.  
  While the dominant voices of early Chinese thought urged public virtue, ritual discipline, or universal love, Yáng Zhū argues that the best life is a modest one of sensory enjoyment and personal contentment, grounded in the pure and unimpeded expression of your inborn nature. Fame, wealth, and even longevity are distractions from the obvious good stuff: good food, music, comfort, and inner ease.  He celebrates a quiet hedonism of sufficiency, a philosophy that scandalised Confucian moralists and provoked Mèngzǐ to complain that “the words of Yang Zhu and Mozi fill the empire.” 
  Anton Forke (1867–1944), the German sinologist and author, translated the chapter into English under the title Yang Chu’s Garden of Pleasure in 1912.  
  The little volume presented Yang Chu’s thought as a genuine Chinese counterpart to Epicureanism — a philosophy devoted to hedonism via the careful cultivation of a life free from anxiety and unnecessary desire.  
   
  Discover a gentler strain of Daoist thought — one that finds the meaning of life in a well‑tuned lute, a cup of wine, and the freedom to be oneself.

  As We Exist - A Postcolonial...

  Kaoutar Harchi

  In this thoughtful coming-of-age memoir, a young sociologist reflects on her Moroccan immigrant parents, their journey to France, and how growing up an outsider shaped her identity. 
  Imbued with tenderness for her family and a critical view of the challenges facing French North African immigrants, Kaoutar Harchi’s probing account illustrates the deeply personal effects of political issues. Mixed with happy memories of her childhood home in eastern France are ever-present reminders of the dangers from which her parents sought to shield her. When they transfer her to a private, Catholic middle school—out of fear of Arab boys from their working-class neighborhood—Kaoutar grows increasingly conscious of her differences, and her conflicted sense of self. 
  Notable events in her teens—the passing of a law in 2004 banning religious symbols from public schools; the 2005 deaths of Bouna Traoré and Zyed Benna, which sparked riots against police brutality—underscore the injustice of a society that sees Muslims not as equals but as a problem to solve. With elegant, affecting prose, As We Exist charts Kaoutar’s political and intellectual awakening, which would become the heart and soul of her work as a sociologist and writer.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  What if the final moments of life reveal humanity's greatest mystery? Journey through extraordinary documented cases of deathbed visions that challenge everything we think we know about death and dying. From Steve Jobs's profound final words "Oh wow" to scientifically documented encounters with deceased loved ones, this compelling exploration examines end-of-life experiences that transcend cultural, religious, and medical boundaries. Drawing from the groundbreaking Osis-Haraldsson study of over 50,000 dying patients, discover how hospice workers, doctors, and researchers have documented remarkably consistent patterns in deathbed visions across the globe. These aren't random hallucinations or medication-induced fantasies—they're coherent, meaningful encounters that bring profound peace to the dying and challenge our understanding of consciousness itself. Witness accounts of patients who see deceased relatives they've never met, describe burial clothes they never saw, and experience transformative visions that replace fear with wonder. Medical professionals share their most compelling cases, from children who meet grandparents who died before they were born to skeptics whose final moments reveal unexpected spiritual dimensions. Through careful scientific analysis and deeply moving personal stories, explore how these near-death phenomena offer comfort to grieving families and potentially revolutionary insights into human consciousness. Whether you're facing your own mortality, supporting a loved one through their final journey, or simply curious about life's greatest mystery, these true accounts provide both scientific rigor and profound emotional healing about what may await us all.
