  This is a Pariyatti audiobook of four essays from the book Facing the Future: Four Essays on the Social Relevance of Buddhism by Bhikkhu Bodhi, narrated by Shelina Hetherington.
  
  A Buddhist Social Ethic for the New Century
  A Buddhist Approach to Economic and Social Development
  The Changing Face of Buddhism
  Sangha at the Crossroads
  
   
  Excerpt:If we use the Buddha’s teachings as a lens to examine the corporate economic system and its offshoot, the consumerist culture, we will see that it is ultimately detrimental to the well-being of both its masters and servants alike. Drawing upon the tools of Buddhist analysis, let us briefly sketch the inner dynamics of this system. We see in the first instance that such a social order is founded upon ignorance or delusion (avijjā, moha), namely, the supposition that material wealth and consumption are the criteria of the good life. According to the Buddhist texts, when ignorance infiltrates our cognitive systems it issues in a series of “distortions” (vipallāsa) which infect our perception (saññā), thinking (citta), and views (diṭṭhi). The Buddha mentions four such distortions: the notions that the impermanent is permanent, that the painful (or suffering) is pleasant, that the insubstantial is a self, and that the unbeautiful is beautiful. At the most basic level we perceive things by way of these distortions; when these distorted perceptions are taken up for reflection, we start thinking in terms of them; and finally, under the combined influence of distorted perception and thought, we adopt views—that is, beliefs, doctrines, and ideologies—that affirm the mistaken notions of permanence, pleasure, selfhood, and beauty.

  The Hindsight Bias - The...

  Hindsight bias, often referred to as the "knew-it-all-along" effect, is the cognitive phenomenon in which people perceive past events as having been more predictable than they actually were. After an event has occurred, individuals tend to believe they foresaw the outcome, even though there was no reasonable way to predict it at the time. This bias can distort our memories, judgments, and perceptions, leading us to think that we knew the outcome of a situation from the very beginning, even though the reality is quite different. 
  At its core, hindsight bias is rooted in how our brains process information. Once an event unfolds and its outcome is known, our minds tend to reconstruct our memories of the past to fit that outcome, making it appear as though we were more certain of the result all along. This creates a false sense of understanding and control, making it easier for us to believe that we could have anticipated the event, despite evidence to the contrary. It is a natural byproduct of how we seek coherence and meaning in our experiences, often bending the facts to align with our current understanding. 
  The implications of hindsight bias are vast and far-reaching, impacting a wide range of areas, including decision-making, learning, and judgment. In personal and professional contexts, it can lead to overconfidence, as individuals feel that they are more skilled at predicting outcomes than they truly are. This overconfidence can cloud judgment and hinder growth, as it prevents people from acknowledging mistakes or learning from their missteps. In legal contexts, it can distort the perception of whether certain decisions or actions were reasonable at the time they were made, often leading to unjust conclusions and unfair blame.

  Graceful Simplicity

  Graceful Simplicity: The Foundations of Bread and Roses Socialism is a new audiobook prepared with an eye on the 2024 Presidential elections. The author, Jerome Segal, is challenging Joe Biden for the nomination of the Democratic Party.  The audiobook is primarily the first audio of Dr. Segal’s seminal 1999 book, Graceful Simplicity: The Philosophy and Politics of Simple Living. The original book made two main contributions to the literature on simple living. First, it argued that beauty and creative expression should be counted among our basic needs, and their fulfillment part of what simple living aspires to. Secondly, it argued that simple living should be thought of as more than a life-style choice. Rather, it should animate a new politics, one which places making the option of simple living relevant to people at all parts of the income spectrum, the central goal of socio-economic policy. Concretely, this means making it possible for people on a minimum wage to meet their core needs (including beauty) on 4 or even 3 days of Job System work per week.Starting when he first ran for public office in 2018, Dr. Segal went from writing about the need for a politics of simplicity to actually pursuing one. Over time he came to use the term “Bread and Roses socialism” to characterize his political program, and came to call himself, a bread and roses socialist.  The new audiobook opens with a 25 page preface that explains the transition from “graceful simplicity” to “bread and roses socialism” as well as the conceptual linkage between the two concepts.Graceful Simplicity (1999) was a Book of the Month Club selection, and was translated into Danish and Chinese.

  Obesity - The other pandemic of...

  Obesity is becoming one of the preeminent public health concerns, with prevalence increasing throughout the world.
  Covering many aspects of contemporary obesity research, this timely book by some of the leading experts in the field explores issues relating to the biology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of obesity, including childhood obesity. The work is attuned to the needs of those living with obesity, with a chapter devoted to
  the harm caused by weight stigma and false narratives around lifestyle choices.
  'Obesity, the other pandemic of the 21st century' reviews the available evidence to prove that obesity should be considered not just as a key contributor towards other comorbidities, but as a disease by itself. Importantly, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on obesity is addressed, which raised the complexity and severity of the obesity and should be a call to action for the prevention and early treatment of this disease. This book has been developed by World Obesity Federation collaborators, and is aimed at healthcare practitioners, academics, policymakers, students, patients living with obesity and all those impacted by the issue.
  The research covered in these pages goes some way towards proving that obesity is quickly becoming 'the other pandemic' of the 21st century. Much like any major pandemic, the consequence of inaction is truly alarming.
