  ""Walden" is a remarkable work by American transcendentalist writer Henry David Thoreau. First published in 1854, it is also known as Walden; or, Life in the Woods. Thoreau's book is a reflection upon his experience of simple living in natural surroundings.    Here are the key points about Walden:    The Experiment:  Thoreau spent two years and two months living in semi-isolation by Walden Pond near Concord, Massachusetts.  He built a small cabin on land owned by his friend Ralph Waldo Emerson and aimed to live deliberately, focusing on essential facts of life.  The Book:  Walden is a series of essays or meditations.  It begins with "Economy," discussing Thoreau's experiment and the construction of his cabin.  Later essays include "Reading," "Sounds," "Solitude," "Visitors," "Higher Laws," "Winter Animals," and "Spring."  Legacy:  Walden extols the benefits of literature but also encourages mindfulness of sounds and sights in one's own life.  It remains an influential piece of nature writing and is considered Thoreau's masterwork.  Thoreau's description of daily life at Walden Pond, combined with his clear and elegant style, elevates Walden to the status of a literary classic. Support us at https://manifoldmedia.net/donate

  We are sometimes our own worst enemies, sabotaging our success and with it our chance for lasting happiness and opportunities for personal and professional fulfillment. It's Not Your Fault helps listeners uncover the subconscious reasons they hold themselves back. These blind spots were often created in childhood as coping mechanisms in response to trauma. Rather than teaching tactics that ignore or give surface attention to adverse childhood events, the book lovingly guides listeners to explore the ways these events have impacted their lives and how this knowledge will help them access true transformation. 
   
   
   
  Those who have been let down by traditional therapeutic techniques know that behavior modification doesn't work for everyone. Simply doing things differently while staying the same on the inside might help for the short term, but before long old patterns emerge. Once they decide to get serious about change, however, and stop tweaking habits in the hope it will result in lasting transformation, they can create a life by design instead of default. It takes work, an internal excavation, and Laura comes alongside the listener as a trusted guide who has been where they are now. She provides the tools and anecdotal evidence to show them how to overcome the pain of self-sabotage and create the life they desire.

  The Christian Past That Wasn't -...

  In this lively book, Warren Throckmorton, coauthor of Getting Jefferson Right, investigates the gloss that Christian nationalist storytellers put on history and equips listeners to debunk seven myths that they propagate. 
  Working in the tradition of muckraking journalists, Throckmorton picks a fight with fables told about the past by those who are trying to erase the separation of church and state. Did the Puritans actually establish a covenant with God, and were all the founders evangelical Christians? Are the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution based on the Bible, and did delegates at the constitutional convention in Philadelphia actually kneel for daily prayers? With keen attention to primary sources, Throckmorton dismantles the myths, piece by historical piece. And he asks: How are the genocide of Indigenous people and enslavement of millions of Africans not definitive repudiations of some righteous Christian past? 
  White Christian nationalism thrives on origin stories, and Throckmorton equips listeners to debunk the false ones. The real heritage of America is neither as a Christian state nor pure secularism; it is a more nuanced story, he says, one of religious tolerance and pluralism. To understand Christian nationalism, we must know the power of myth. To counter it, we must know the facts.
