Synopsis

History's Greatest Mistakes explores pivotal moments where critical errors in judgment reshaped civilizations and triggered disasters. The book examines failures in strategic planning, misinterpretations of data, and the consequences of ego, emphasizing that understanding past errors is vital for future decision-making. One intriguing insight is how navigational errors spurred unintended colonization, while political and military blunders led to immense suffering and geopolitical shifts. 

 
The book systematically analyzes historical errors across three core areas. First, it investigates navigational and exploratory errors. Second, it explores political and military blunders that triggered conflicts. Third, it examines technological and scientific oversights that produced catastrophic outcomes, highlighting the importance of risk assessment. This approach provides a richer understanding of the complex factors contributing to historical outcomes, connecting historical analysis with political science, economics, and sociology.

 
The book's unique value lies in its emphasis on the psychological dimensions of decision-making, exploring how cognitive biases and leadership styles impact the likelihood of errors. By presenting a balanced account of events and avoiding simplistic answers, History's Greatest Mistakes encourages readers to grapple with the complexities of historical causality and the ongoing relevance of past mistakes, urging us to learn from the past for a better future.

    Break Through the Limits of the Brain connects the dots between the discoveries of neuroscience and the meditation-born spiritual experience, and offers proven ways to tap into our superconscious potential. 
     
     
     
    Joseph Selbie explores the current neuroscientific understanding of the brain's dismaying degree of life-controlling influence on our thoughts, emotions, and behavior, and balances that understanding with neuroscience's discoveries of neuroplasticity and our innate ability to rewire the brain for any new purpose. 
     
     
     
    Break Through the Limits of the Brain delves into the scientific support for the existence of a subtle, nonlocal reality that strongly suggests that we exist simultaneously in both a subtle and a physical reality—and that our thoughts, life force, emotions, and memories originate nonlocally. 
     
     
     
    Meditation is a central theme of the book—what it is; how to do it; why it works; its physical, mental, and emotional benefits as measured by neuroscientists; and how it rewires the brain for superconscious awareness. 
     
     
     
    The book offers proven practices for bringing superconscious awareness into one's life for success, energy, health, peace of mind, and happiness.

    From the New York Times bestselling author of Washington’s Spies, the thrilling story of the Confederate spy who came to Britain to turn the tide of the Civil War—and the Union agent resolved to stop him. 
     
    In 1861, soon after the outbreak of the Civil War, two secret agents—one a Confederate, the other his Union rival—were dispatched to neutral Britain, each entrusted with a vital mission. 
    The South’s James Bulloch, charming and devious, was to acquire a cutting-edge clandestine fleet intended to break President Lincoln’s blockade of Confederate ports, sink Northern merchant vessels, and drown the U.S. Navy’s mightiest ships at sea. The profits from gunrunning and smuggling cotton—Dixie’s notorious “white gold”—would finance the scheme. Opposing him was Thomas Dudley, a resolute Quaker lawyer and abolitionist. He was determined to stop Bulloch by any means necessary in a spy-versus-spy game of move and countermove, gambit and sacrifice, intrigue and betrayal. If Dudley failed, Britain would ally with the South and imperil a Northern victory. The battleground was the Dickensian port of Liverpool, whose dockyards built more ships each year than the rest of the world combined, whose warehouses stored more cotton than anywhere else on earth, and whose merchant princes, said one observer, were “addicted to Southern proclivities, foreign slave trade, and domestic bribery.” 
    From master of historical espionage Alexander Rose, The Lion and the Fox is the astonishing, untold tale of two implacable foes and their twilight struggle for the highest stakes.  
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. 
    In more than 400 verses the Buddha clearly expounds his noble path of virtue for everyman. This foundation scripture teaches the supreme doctrine of nirvana and the way to the highest possible happiness for mankind. 
    Translated by Oxford professor Dr. Max Muller, a great scholar and Orientalist with an introduction by Kevin Trainor, Associate Professor of Religion at the University of Vermont. The Dhammapada - the Path of Truth - is a beautiful anthology of proverbs and aphorisms which are considered to be as close to the Buddha's own words as we can ever reach. 
    The work outlines the Buddha's Four Noble Truths: that life is full of suffering, which all of us must accept, that the cause of suffering is desirer, that the removal of desire removes suffering; and finally that deliverance might be obtained by following the Noble Eightfold Path. 
    The Dhammapada is arranged in chapters which cover themes and topics such as Choices, Wakefulness, the World, the Awakened, Joy, Pleasure, Anger, Impurity, Justice, the Way, Desire, the Seeker and The True Master.
