Beschreibung

An American masterwork in praise of nature, self-reliance, and the simple life

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."

In 1845, the transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau moved from his home in the town of Concord, Massachusetts, to a small cabin he built by hand on the shores of Walden Pond. He spent the next two years alone in the woods, learning to live self-sufficiently and to take his creative and moral inspiration from nature. Part memoir, part philosophical treatise, part environmental manifesto, Walden is Thoreau's inspirational account of those extraordinary years and one of the most influential books ever written.

    Twenty years after the success of her first memoir, the New York Times bestseller The Truth Is . . ., the Grammy and Oscar award-winning rocker and trailblazing LGBTQAI icon takes stock of the intervening years, recounting the euphoric triumphs and the life-altering tragedies of her life. 
    The audiobook is an exclusive musical experience, read and performed by Melissa. It features live, stripped-down performances of many of Melissa’s songs, including the one that inspired the book title, Talking to My Angel; never-before performed songs including Here Comes the Pain; and original interstitial and credit music.  
    Live with spirit. 
    Find peace in the chaos. 
    Lean into the joy. 
    Over the past twenty years, Melissa Etheridge has been blessed with success, love, joy, contentment, freedom, and release. She became a mother again, recorded eleven albums, toured the world, performed at the Grammy Awards, won an Oscar, discovered her one true love, and underwent a profound spiritual awakening. She also experienced illness, incomparable loss, heartache, guilt, shame, and devastating grief. She was diagnosed with breast cancer, endured two contentious and public break ups, and witnessed the devastating disintegration and death of her son, Beckett, to opioid addiction. Yet through it all, Melissa found the strength and courage to carry on. 
    Talking to My Angels  is a profoundly honest look into her inner life as a woman, an artist, a mother, and a survivor. With characteristic wit and courage, Melissa delves into how numerous tragedies served as a catalyst for growth, and what the past two decades have taught her about the value of music, love, family, and life in the face of death. It is her story: as raw, vulnerable, and electrifying as her acclaimed songs. Melissa shares hard truths about surviving and thriving—a journey through darkness and uncertainty that leads to forgiveness and love. A remarkable storyteller, she digs deep into the well of her life, sharing memories that, woven together, create a rich portrait of success and survival—an intimate, emotional and ultimately inspiring story of healing.  
    A memoir a lifetime in the making, Talking to My Angels is Melissa’s engrossing—and at times harrowing—story as she lived it. It is a testament to the power of art, a touchstone for anyone seeking a path out of darkness, and a powerful love letter to the family and fans who’ve been integral to her journey.

    Drug policies around the world have long been a contentious issue, influencing not only the legal and political landscapes but also public health, economics, and societal structures. The regulation and criminalization of drugs have shaped global attitudes toward substance use, and in turn, these policies have had profound, sometimes detrimental, effects on individuals and communities. As we examine the shocking truth about drug policies, it becomes clear that the system in place is not only ineffective but also exacerbates many of the problems it seeks to address. 
    	  
    In its most basic form, drug policy refers to the laws, regulations, and practices that govern the production, distribution, and use of controlled substances. But this simple definition belies the complexity of the issue. Drug policies intersect with numerous societal factors, including crime, health, racial disparities, and international relations. The war on drugs, for instance, has led to millions of individuals being incarcerated, often disproportionately affecting marginalized communities. Meanwhile, the cost of enforcing these laws—both financially and socially—has ballooned, without significant improvements in public safety or health outcomes. 
    	  
    In countries like the United States, the harsh consequences of drug criminalization have sparked debates on whether a punitive approach is the most effective or if alternative solutions, such as decriminalization or harm reduction, would yield better results. Across the globe, there are countries that have adopted progressive policies, focusing on treating addiction as a public health issue rather than a criminal one. These nations have witnessed significant improvements in public health and reduced rates of incarceration, challenging the traditional narrative around drug use and its societal consequences.

    With science now recognizing animal consciousness, intelligence, emotion and even morality, there must come an awareness of our own moral responsibilities towards other beings. But there's another reason to consider animals' well-being-because it is intertwined with our own. 
    In Survival at Stake, leading animal rights activist Poorva Joshipura argues passionately that, evolutionarily, humans are far more like other animals than we care to believe. She examines how hunting wildlife leads to pandemics and epidemics, which, in turn, harm us; how the production of meat destroys forests and causes climate change, which, in turn, destroys us; how blood sports hurt both humans and animals; how leather production damages the environment and human health; how animal experimentation is often a threat to public health; how cruelty to animals leads to violent crimes; and so on. 
    It is Joshipura's view that if we reject speciesism-the belief in human superiority-and accept that we are animals too, irrevocably interconnected to other species, from the largest elephant to the smallest bee, and a part of, rather than holding dominance over, nature, we can take the necessary steps towards the betterment of all the planet's inhabitants.
