    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    What if Peter Pan wasn’t the hero? 
    We all know the story of the boy who wouldn’t grow up. But beneath the fairy dust and Neverland adventures lies a far more unsettling truth—one that’s been ignored for over a century. 
    In Hook Was Right: The Sinister Side of Peter Pan, author James G. Edwards II pulls back the curtain on one of literature’s most beloved characters, exposing the dark psychology and troubling power dynamics hidden in plain sight. This isn’t a children’s tale—it’s a cautionary one. 
    1. What if the Lost Boys were victims, not volunteers? 
    2. Was Captain Hook the only adult who saw through the illusion? 
    3. Why does no one in Neverland remember who they are—or want to leave? 
    Combining literary criticism, psychological insight, and cultural analysis, this book reinterprets Peter Pan through a modern lens—tackling themes like trauma, memory loss, emotional manipulation, and eternal youth as a weapon. 
    Whether you’re a fan of classic literature, dark fairy tales, or thought-provoking nonfiction, this book will challenge everything you thought you knew about Neverland—and make you wonder if Hook was the real hero all along. 
    Neverland isn’t a dream. It’s a trap.  
    And Peter Pan may be its most dangerous resident.

    Take a look at this book bundle! It contains the following books: 
      - Mercantilism Explained: Mercantilism, a dominant economic theory from the 16th to the 18th century, played a pivotal role in shaping the economic and political landscape of early modern Europe. Rooted in the belief that a nation's wealth and power were measured by its stockpile of precious metals, particularly gold and silver, mercantilism emphasized the importance of maintaining a favorable balance of trade. Nations sought to maximize exports while minimizing imports, often employing protectionist policies to achieve this goal. This approach reflected the belief that global wealth was finite, creating fierce competition among nations to secure the largest share of resources and economic advantage. 
      - The Neoliberal Revolution: Neoliberalism is a term widely used to describe a set of economic policies and ideas that emphasize the importance of free markets, deregulation, privatization, and limited government intervention. Emerging in the mid-20th century, neoliberalism represented a distinct shift away from the welfare state and Keynesian economics, which had dominated Western economies in the post-World War II era. 
      - The Venture Capital Playbook: Venture capitalists, typically investors or firms, provide capital in exchange for equity ownership in the company. This investment is usually made in industries that are considered innovative or disruptive, such as technology, healthcare, and biotechnology. 
      - Venture Capital Explained: The venture capital industry is an essential component of the startup ecosystem, providing financial backing to companies that may not yet be profitable but have strong potential. Many of the world’s most successful companies, including Amazon, Google, and Facebook, received early funding from venture capital firms.

    The New Leviathans - Thoughts...

    Ever since its publication in 1651, Thomas Hobbes's Leviathan has unsettled and challenged how we understand the world. Condemned and vilified by each new generation, his cold political vision continues to see through any number of human political and ethical vanities. 
     
     
     
    In his wonderfully stimulating book The New Leviathans, John Gray allows us to understand the world of the 2020s with all its contradictions, moral horrors, and disappointments. The collapse of the USSR ushered in an era of near apoplectic triumphalism in the West: a genuine belief that a rational, liberal, well-managed future now awaited humankind and that tyranny, nationalism, and unreason lay in the past. Since then, so many terrible events have occurred and so many poisonous ideas have flourished, and yet our liberal certainties treat them as aberrations that will somehow dissolve. Hobbes would not be so confident. 
     
     
     
    Filled with fascinating and challenging observations, The New Leviathans is a powerful meditation on historical and current folly. As a species we always seem to be struggling to face the reality of base and delusive human instincts. Might a more self-aware, realistic, and disabused ethics help us?
