  How Did Life End Up With Us? -...

  Why does the gene behave like a hedge fund manager? Why are mutations like a gambling scam? Why does nothing ever become top dog in life and win forever? Humans only arrived after 99.99% of the time there’s been life on earth. So what was here before us? And how did these species, and the evolutionary process that created them, end up with the unpromising creatures that were our ancestors?In this, the first book of The Secrets of Life quartet, SS O’Connor brings his outsider’s, questioning eye to reveal the great forces that lie behind life: from the laws that arose with Big Bang, through to the ‘decisions’ that organisms make to determine their chances.But how did everything come about? And what made some life forms succeed - while others would join the 99.9% of species that appeared, yet went on to become extinct? The story goes right back to our single-celled forebears - the only things that were on the planet for 80% of its existence, and then continues as it lays out the ways that successive transmissions built increasing complexity, and how the resulting species found their synergistic ways of coexisting.  In an easy-going, conversational style, O'Connor explains in lay-man's language how the gene is the great conductor of life’s orchestra, how it helped millions of life forms to refine themselves - yet why it also sees failure, death and extinctions as opportunities rather than disasters.  Last, the book tells the story of the men who unpicked the mysteries, what they meant by fitness and ‘the fittest’, but why they continued to be baffled by organisms that broke the rules by helping each other. Why would some even choose to be sterile when producing the next generation was the overriding compulsion in life? And why would the answer to this question explain why altruism is the proof for the ‘gene-based theory of evolution’ - and why cooperation was to become the strongest force in life?

  Excavated from a waterlogged archaeological site on the shores of subtropical Florida by legendary anthropologist Frank Hamilton Cushing in 1896, the Key Marco Cat has become a modern icon of heritage, history, and local identity. This book takes listeners into the deep past of the artifact and the Native American society in which it was created. 
   
   
   
  Austin Bell explores nine periods in the life of the six-inch-high wooden carving, beginning with how it was sculpted with shell and shark-tooth tools and what it may have represented to the ancient Calusa—perhaps a human-panther god. Preserved in the muck for centuries on Marco Island and discovered in pristine condition due to its oxygen-free environment, the Cat has since traveled more than 12,000 miles and has been viewed by millions of people. In this fascinating account, Bell traces the clues to the Cat's mysterious origins that have emerged in its later lives. 
   
   
   
  Captivating listeners with the miracle and beauty of this rare example of pre-Columbian art, Bell marvels at how an object originally understood to hold cosmological power has indeed transformed the people and places around it. The Nine Lives of Florida's Famous Key Marco Cat is the story of a timeless masterpiece of staggering simplicity that has prevailed over impossibly long odds.

  Quit Masturbation Hypnosis -...

  You have probably never said it out loud to another human being. 
  Not to a friend. Not to a partner. Not even fully to yourself. 
  It is the kind of struggle most men carry alone. The kind that hides itself well. It does not destroy your life in dramatic ways. It does not show up on your bank statements. It does not leave evidence that anyone else can see. 
  What it does is quieter. It drains you. A little, every day. For years. 
  It steals your edge. Your drive. Your focus. Your sense that you are a man who is moving forward in life rather than running in circles. 
  And the strangest part is that you cannot fully explain to yourself why you keep doing it. 
  If any of that lands for you, hear me clearly. 
  You are not strange. You are not broken. You are not the only one. 
  This is one of the most universal struggles a man can have, and one of the most rarely discussed. Willpower has not worked because willpower works on the conscious mind. The pattern lives deeper. The hand moves before your thinking mind has even had a chance to participate. 
  That is not a moral failing. That is years of repetition written into your nervous system. And it can be rewired through the same channel that programmed it in the first place. 
  This program is the path back. 
  For the next four hours, you will not be lectured. You will not be shamed. You will be guided gently into the deeply relaxed state where your subconscious opens. And in that state, carefully crafted affirmations will begin to do quiet work beneath your awareness. 
  The energy you have been spending will start to return to you. Your focus will sharpen. Your drive will rise. The pull will grow quieter, day by day, until one morning you will realize it is no longer there in the way it used to be. 
  You will reclaim hours you did not know you were losing. 
  The man you are becoming is who you always were, underneath the years of pattern. He has been waiting. 
  Press play. Take a breath. Welcome home.
