    A Mild Case of Dead examines the folly of pursuing greater satisfaction in life through the goals of health, fitness, and weight loss. It occurs to us as logical to seek these qualities as a way to be more satisfied with our lives, but we seek them only because of a dissatisfaction with our lives. The human design is to be more satisfied with life first. When you’re guided by humanity instead of logic your physical state becomes a byproduct of that satisfaction, not the way to it.  
Written and narrated by the author, the book explains why he chose to abandon this work and close his gym forever. He realized that the issues that cause people to pursue health and fitness strategies are never resolved with the minutiae of programs or routines or diets because they are internal struggles first. 
The natural way to be satisfied with your body is to be satisfied with your life. Any other process is only a theory about life, not the real thing.

    Radical Antiquity - Free Love...

    When you think of Ancient Greece and Rome, what do you see? The Acropolis and the Colosseum? Perhaps the philosophy of Plato and Aristotle and the rule of the Caesars? Or the birth of democracy and the vast reach of an empire? This well-trodden history of great thinkers, military leaders, and early state formation in the classical world still enthralls us, but it tells only half the story . . . 
 
How democratic was Athenian democracy? How much power did states wield beyond their city walls? And who looked upon the systems of domination that prevailed and sought to create something different? 
Radical Antiquity takes you on a unique journey in search of anarchy, statelessness, and social experimentation in the Graeco-Roman world. Sweeping across the Mediterranean from the time of the first Olympic Games in 776 BCE until the emergence of Islam in 610 CE, Christopher B. Zeichmann introduces the listener to communities of escaped enslaved people, pirates, and religious sects—all of whom sought a more egalitarian way of life that avoided the coercion, hierarchy, and exploitation of the state. This history from below brings the experiences of ordinary and marginal people out of obscurity and radically expands our understanding of social and political life in the classical world.

    The Poverty Paradox -...

    The paradox of poverty amidst plenty has plagued the United States throughout the twenty-first century—why should the wealthiest country in the world also have the highest rates of poverty among the industrialized nations?  Based on his decades-long research and scholarship, one of the nation's leading authorities provides the answer. In The Poverty Paradox, Mark Robert Rank develops his unique perspective for understanding this puzzle. 
 
 
 
The approach is what he has defined over the years as structural vulnerability. Central to this new way of thinking is the distinction between those who lose out at the economic game versus why the game produces losers in the first place. Americans experiencing poverty tend to have certain characteristics placing them at a greater risk of impoverishment. Yet poverty results not from these factors, but rather from a lack of sufficient opportunities in society. In particular, the shortage of decent paying jobs and a strong safety net are paramount. 
 
 
 
Based upon this understanding, Rank goes on to detail a variety of strategies and programs to effectively alleviate poverty in the future. The Poverty Paradox represents a game changing examination of poverty and inequality. It provides the essential blueprint for finally combatting this economic injustice in the years ahead.
