Cannabis helps you dream: how to...

Pharmacology University

In the following audiobook, you will learn how sleep works, why we sleep during the night and not the day, and what happens when we dream. Sleep is one of the most important biological processes for human beings since it is the phase in which the body recovers day by day and recharges energy. 
Constant exposure to technological stimuli, such as cell phones and computers or continuous travel and stress, have caused deregulation in the sleep cycle by human beings, postponing the hours of rest and lucidity, to recover vitality. These changes in the physical and chemical processes of the body bring with them harmful consequences for its health. Among the most common disorders are insomnia, narcolepsy, and sleepwalking, which are difficulties in falling asleep or, on the contrary, in staying awake during the day.  
Many people around the world have chosen to use infusions and natural oils based on cannabinoids such as CBD, to be able to fall asleep and rest. For this reason, in this incredible audiobook, you will learn about the stages of sleep, its associated disorders, and the testimonies of people who have improved their quality of life and rest, thanks to the use of medical cannabis, our ancient plant that transforms the life and well-being of people...  
If you are interested in knowing more about the extraordinary world of cannabis, we invite you to enjoy this audiobook that Pharmacology University brings to you.

What Makes Jo March Tick (Little...

Niina Niskanen, Emily Lau

Emily and I combined our powers once again to discuss Jo's and Friedrich's relationships and Louisa May Alcott's attraction toward intelligence. When Friedrich gives feedback to Jo, Jo appreciates it, because she wants to develop as a writer. Friedrich Bhaer is based on philosopher Henry David Thoreau. Louisa was in love with him and he appears in literal disguise in all of her novels. He is also based on Alcott's favourite writer, the German poet Goethe. Unlike Greta Gerwig that lies to millions of people, Jo and Friedrich never argue in the book, and Friedrich is the one who helps her to become a writer. He literally gives the same advice to Jo, as Goethe inspired LMA to improve as a writer. Laurie is partially based on Alcott's ex, Laddie Wisniewski, and her friend Alf Whitman. She had a maternal relationship with both of these men who were younger than she. One of the goals of the Little Women podcast is to examine these relationships, and how (several) Little Women adaptations ignore their significance.
Here´s what listeners have said about the Little Women podcast:
rotten Tiger
What a beautiful podcast! It’s so insightful and entertaining. It understands the characters perfectly (especially Laurie), I love it
Jen
As a long-time, die-hard Little Women fan, I LOVE this podcast! I stumbled upon it while doing research for a book series I was working on, and I am addicted! Niina is super knowledgeable in all things LW, from the book(s) to the movies and author Louisa May Alcott’s real life. I love that the discussions are based on the book and highlight the differences (sometimes controversial) between the original and newer adaptations. Highly recommended for anybody who loves getting lost in the world of Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March.

Dharma Artha Kama Moksha - 40...

Anonimo

Artha-shastra is about generating food, i.e. wealth, by creating goods and services; Kama-shastra is about indulging our hungers with this food. Dharma-shastra insists we consider the hunger of others, while Moksha-shastra is about outgrowing our hungers, in order to be detached and generous. Together, these four Hindu shastras provide a framework within which human action, its purposes and consequences, can be defined; together, they validate human existence and give it meaning. 
In Dharma Artha Kama Moksha, Devdutt Pattanaik uses his unique understanding of mythology to provide an accessible and lucid guide to the Hindu way of thinking, with short essays that are crisp expositions of important concepts.
