Beschreibung

In "The Kingdom of God Is Within You," Leo Tolstoy delivers a profound exploration of Christian spirituality through a rigorously philosophical lens. Written during a tumultuous period in Tolstoy's life, this work challenges institutional religion and emphasizes the importance of personal faith and moral integrity. Employing a clear, accessible style that merges narrative and philosophical inquiry, Tolstoy invites readers to seek the divine presence and ethical living that can be found within themselves, rather than through external rites or dogmas. This text not only reflects the zeitgeist of late 19th-century Russia but also resonates with contemporary discussions on spirituality and moral philosophy. Leo Tolstoy, renowned for his masterpieces such as "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina," was deeply influenced by his own spiritual crisis and quest for meaning. His search for a simple, authentic Christian faith led him to reject conventional religious practices, advocating instead for a personal connection with God—an idea vividly articulated in this book. Tolstoy's existential reflections stem from his extensive philosophical readings, life experiences, and a burgeoning commitment to social justice. Readers seeking enlightenment on spirituality and ethical living will find "The Kingdom of God Is Within You" an essential read. Tolstoy's revolutionary perspective encourages introspection and actionable faith, making it relevant for anyone grappling with personal beliefs and societal values. This book not only enriches one's understanding of Tolstoy's philosophy but also inspires a transformative journey toward inner peace and moral clarity.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Empire of Rum – The Unofficial Economy of Early Australia is a gripping journey through the colony’s most intoxicating secret: that rum, not coin, built Australia. 
    In the fledgling settlement of New South Wales, alcohol was more than a drink - it was money, power, and survival. From the notorious Rum Corps to the only successful military coup in Australian history, this audiobook brings to life the corruption, rebellion and everyday struggles that flowed through the barrels of rum. 
    But the story doesn’t stop in the past. Linking colonial rum trading to modern Australia, this powerful work shows how alcohol still fuels crime, family breakdown, and an overwhelmed justice system. 
    Part history, part social critique, Empire of Rum pulls no punches in exposing how alcohol became and remains a currency of control. 
    Perfect for listeners of Australian history, true crime, and social justice narratives.

    The Crusader States - Kingdoms...

    The story of the Crusader States begins with a cry for help and a call to arms that would echo across Christendom. In 1095, at the Council of Clermont, Pope Urban II delivered a fiery sermon urging the Christian knights of Europe to take up arms and reclaim the Holy Land from Muslim control. This call to crusade was not merely a military summons—it was framed as a sacred duty, a spiritual journey that promised the remission of sins and eternal reward for those who participated. The response was overwhelming. Nobles, peasants, and knights alike took up the cross, inspired by religious fervor, promises of salvation, and, for some, the allure of land and glory. 
    The roots of the crusading movement were complex. The Byzantine Empire, under threat from the Seljuk Turks, had appealed to the West for military support. Urban II seized the opportunity not only to assist a fellow Christian empire but also to assert papal authority, redirect knightly violence away from Europe, and perhaps reunite the Eastern and Western Churches. His appeal resonated deeply in a Europe rife with feudal conflict, religious devotion, and a growing warrior culture. The concept of "holy war" gave new legitimacy to warfare as a religious act, transforming knights into pilgrims with a sword. 
    The First Crusade, launched in 1096, was both chaotic and remarkable. It was not a single army but a series of loosely organized forces, including the infamous People's Crusade led by Peter the Hermit, which was largely destroyed before reaching the Holy Land. The main crusading armies followed, composed of powerful lords such as Godfrey of Bouillon, Raymond of Toulouse, Bohemond of Taranto, and others. These forces traversed hostile territory, besieged cities, and faced hunger, disease, and internal divisions. Yet, against the odds, they succeeded in capturing Jerusalem in July 1099.

    Future Tense - Why Anxiety Is...

    A psychologist confronts our pervasive misunderstanding of anxiety and presents a powerful new framework for reimagining and reclaiming the confounding emotion as the advantage it evolved to be. 
    We taught people that anxiety is dangerous and damaging, and that the solution to its pain is to eradicate it like we do any disease—prevent it, avoid it, and stamp it out at all costs. Yet cutting-edge therapies, hundreds of self-help books, and a panoply of medications have failed to keep debilitating anxiety at bay. A third of us will struggle with anxiety disorders in our lifetime and rates in children and adults continue to skyrocket. 
    That’s because the anxiety-as-disease story is false—and it’s harming us. 
    In this radical reinterpretation, Dr. Tracy Dennis-Tiwary argues that anxiety is an evolved advantage that protects us and strengthens our creative and productive powers. Although it’s related to stress and fear, it’s uniquely valuable—allowing us to imagine the uncertain future and compelling us to make that future better. That’s why anxiety is inextricably linked to hope. 
    By distilling the latest research in psychology and neuroscience, including her own, combining it with real-world stories and personal narrative, Dennis-Tiwary shows how we can acknowledge the discomfort of anxiety and see it as a tool, rather than something to be feared and reviled. Detailing the terrible cost of our misunderstanding of anxiety, while celebrating the lives of people who harness it to their advantage, she argues that we can—and must—learn to be anxious in the right way. 
    Future Tense blazes the way for a paradigm shift in how we relate to and understand anxiety in our day-to-day lives—a fresh set of beliefs and insights that allow us to explore and leverage even very distressing anxiety rather than to be overwhelmed by it. Through this new prism of thinking, even anxiety disorders can be alleviated. Achieving a new mindset will not fix anxiety itself—because the emotion of anxiety is not broken; the way we cope with it is. By challenging our long-held assumptions about anxiety, this book provides a concrete framework for how to reclaim it for what it has always been—a gift rather than a curse, and a source of inner strength, joy, and ingenuity.
