    This is an independent summary & analysis of Ayahuasca in My Blood by Peter Gorman. It is not the original book. All trademarks and copyrights belong to their respective owners. For the full experience, please support the original work. 
    This audiobook follows twenty-five years of “medicine dreaming” with ayahuasca in the Peruvian Amazon, told through the raw, honest voice of the author who let the jungle completely rewrite his life. Far from a trendy retreat story, it’s a long-term journey through fear, addiction, ego, love, and responsibility—guided by powerful plant medicines, Indigenous teachers, and the hard work of integration back home. 
    You’ll travel from river villages and night ceremonies to the messy reality of family, work, and aging, seeing how visions only matter when they become different choices in daily life. For productivity-driven listeners, this isn’t an escape from the real world: it’s a blueprint for courage, long-term commitment, and ethical ambition. The medicine shows the truth; the real discipline is living by it—email after email, decision after decision, year after year. 
    If you’re looking for a story that combines spiritual depth with practical lessons on how to change your life without abandoning it, this audiobook is a powerful companion on your own path.

    A raw, often wry, memoir of mothers, mysteries, and miracles. 
    Surrendered at birth in a closed adoption, Candi Byrne's biology and ethnicity are a secret. The impending arrival of her first grandchild ignites an urgency to identify potential genetic time bombs and confirm her ancestry. Due to arcane privacy laws, Candi is repeatedly denied access to the one person who could provide that information--her biological mother. 
    After years of failed attempts, she resigns herself to never learning the truth about her roots; that is, until her ninety-year-old Aunt Delores has a vision and insists Candi resume efforts to find her birth family. Candi is gobsmacked when an internet search she's performed thousands of times before suddenly reveals her birth mother's identity. Within hours, she ends up on the doorstep of her birth mother--a place she's sworn never to visit. 
    After a series of guilt-driven interactions with "Those People," as she refers to her maternal birth family, Candi terminates contact. Although the reunion proves disastrous, it opens her eyes to truths about her relationship with her adoptive mother, Delphine. Though their relationship was difficult and contentious during Delphine's life, a series of miraculous experiences after her death guides Candi home to herself--where, she learns, she has belonged all along.

    Giving My All captures the journey of Earl Martin Phalen as he navigates family, self-identity and purpose.As a black boy adopted into a large, loving Irish Catholic family at age two, Earl discovered at a young age that he was meant to stand out. Yet whether it was on the basketball court or early in his career as a young and ambitious “edupreneur,” Earl encountered opportunities that required him to give his all, but often found himself holding back. Earl faced both subtle and overt racism in his predominantly white neighborhoods, but with the love and unrelenting support of his family, he was able to overcome much—facing it most directly and intentionally for the first time when he arrived on Yale campus as a young athlete scholar. While at Yale, Earl gained a new sense of pride and purpose as he connected with his black and African American heritage. This would continue throughout his studies and into graduate school at Harvard Law, where his calling to education—particularly that of black and brown children—came to life. Earl has dedicated his life to improving the access poor, black and brown children have to quality education and opportunities.

    Mother. Nurse. Gold-digger. Cause célèbre. When Daisy de Melker stood trial in 1932, accused of poisoning her son and two husbands, the public couldn’t get enough of her. Crowds gathered outside court baying for blood, and she waved to them like a celebrity. 
      
    Against the backdrop of Johannesburg in its golden age, a booming metropolis of opulence and chaos nicknamed the ‘City of Gold’ and the ‘University of Crime’, she had quietly gone about her sinister business while around her sensational crimes grabbed the headlines. There was the marauding Foster Gang, which left at least ten people dead; a dashing German hustler; a local Bonnie and Clyde; an innocent student walking in Zoo Lake park at the wrong time and a man who 
    escaped death row to become one of South Africa’s most revered authors. These interlinking stories are told in the style of a thriller and with riveting, kaleidoscopic detail. 
      
    In Daisy de Melker, Ted Botha weaves together a fantastic cast of killers and con men, detectives and lawmen, journalists and authors – even Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Herman Charles Bosman – to depict a grand and desperate city. For almost twenty years Daisy hid in the shadows but when someone finally spoke up about the suspicious deaths around her, it led to a trial like nothing the City of Gold had ever seen and spread her name across the world.
