  Rarely has there been a more confusing time to be a man. This uncertainty has spawned an array of bizarre and harmful underground subcultures, collectively known as the manosphere, as men search for new forms of belonging. 
   
  In Lost Boys, James Bloodworth delves into these underground worlds and asks where have they come from? Why are so many men susceptible to the sinister beliefs these groups promote? What does the emergence of these communities say about Western society? And what can we do about it? In the course of his journey he meets incels, enlists on a bootcamp for so-called 'alpha males', and speaks to modern day Hugh Hefners using social media to broadcast their jet set lifestyles to millions of followers. 
   
  Combining compulsive memoir with powerful reporting, fascinating international case studies, data, cultural analysis and history, Lost Boys is an essential guide to the crisis in contemporary masculinity.

  Your best stories do not have to become stale, overused, or emotionally hollow. 
   
  The Story Beneath Your Story is an advanced personal development audiobook by TJ Walker for speakers, coaches, trainers, leaders, educators, and professional communicators who want to speak from deeper experience instead of polished repetition. 
   
  This audiobook teaches the Depth Mining Method, a practical framework for returning to your personal experiences and finding stronger meaning, better emotional clarity, and more useful lessons for your audience. You will learn how to separate your story archive from your story inventory, identify the meaning gap beneath familiar stories, understand processed versus performed vulnerability, extract universal lessons from personal experience, and keep your best stories alive over time. 
   
  This is not a beginner storytelling audiobook about structure, openings, closings, or stage technique. It is for people who already use personal stories and want to go deeper. If you are a motivational speaker, public speaker, coach, trainer, consultant, podcast host, teacher, or leader, this audiobook will help you find the story beneath the story and speak with more authenticity, usefulness, and authority.

  Awakening Osiris - The Spiritual...

  A beautiful and engaging rendering of the Egyptian Book of the Dead. 
   
   
    
  The Egyptian Book of the Dead is one of the oldest and greatest classics of Western spirituality. Until now, the available translations have treated these writings as historical curiosities that have little relevance to our contemporary situations. This new version, made from the hieroglyphs, approaches the Book of the Dead as a profound spiritual text capable of speaking to us today. These writings suggest that the divine realm and the human realm are not altogether separate—they remind us that the natural world, and the substance of our lives, is fashioned from the stuff of the gods. Devoted like an Egyptian scribe to the principle of "effective utterance," Normandi Ellis has produced a prose translation that reads like pure, diaphanous verse.

  Viking History Beyond the Raids...

  The Forgotten History Archive

  You know the picture already: horned helmets, burning monasteries, axes on a beach. It is the version you were handed at school, and some part of you suspects it is mostly costume — that the people who crossed open ocean in open boats must have been far more interesting than that.
  
  This is Viking history told from inside the longhouse, the shipyard and the marketplace. You step into scenes with real named people from the sagas, runestones and excavation reports: the women who ran estates and sailed west, the shipwrights and navigators who found Iceland and Greenland without charts, the thralls and law-speakers, the traders whose silver came from the Caliphate, and the settlers who quietly became Normans and Rus. Where the sagas and the archaeology disagree, you hear that too, plainly.
  
  By the end you can talk about the Norse with confidence and see the Viking Age as what it truly was — a revolution in connection. Press play and meet them.

  Moscow Rules - What Drives...

  From Moscow, the world looks different. It is through understanding how Russia sees the world—and its place in it—that the West can best meet the Russian challenge. 
   
   
   
  Russia and the West are like neighbors who never seem able to understand each other. A major reason, this book argues, is that Western leaders tend to think that Russia should act as a "rational" Western nation—even though Russian leaders for centuries have thought and acted based on their country's different history and traditions. Russia, through Western eyes, is unpredictable and irrational, when in fact its leaders almost always act in their own predictable and rational ways. For Western leaders to try to engage with Russia without attempting to understand how Russians look at the world is a recipe for repeated disappointment and crises. 
   
   
   
  Keir Giles, a senior expert on Russia at Britain's prestigious Chatham House, describes how Russian leaders have used consistent doctrinal and strategic approaches to the rest of the world. These approaches may seem alien in the West, but understanding them is essential for successful engagement with Moscow. Giles argues that understanding how Moscow's leaders think—not just Putin but his predecessors and eventual successors—will help counterparts in the West develop a less crisis-prone and more productive relationship with Russia.

  "Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise." But in a world of disturbing news and global upheaval, is being ignorant ethical? 
  On Ignorance and Bliss is a philosophical audio drama that retells Plato’s Republic for the modern age. Through the perspectives of 6 characters —The Idealist, The Fool, The Skeptic, The Student, The Pedant, and The Sage — as they navigate the tension between awareness of suffering and personal peace. From family secrets to societal myths and moral blind spots, our story challenges the modern structures to define a world where we can be both ignorant and blissful.  
  If you’ve ever wondered if true happiness requires a degree of looking away, this journey into the heart of philosophy is for you. In an approachable way, On Ignorance and Bliss introduces the study of wisdom, knowledge and ethics to those who have never studied philosophy before.
