    Anxiety disorders are prevalent mental health issues. While everyone encounters stress and anxiety at some point, triggers vary from person to person. Some may experience anxiety in social situations, while others may feel it when faced with heights. The scale of anxiety differs as well, with some perceiving it as a background worry and others experiencing intense and unsettling emotions, such as continuous fear and panic attacks. 
    Regardless of the type or intensity of anxiety disorder, this course aims to help individuals create mental clarity and peace by distancing themselves from anxiety. The long-term goal is to change the perspective and experience of anxiety rather than trying to eliminate it entirely. Anxiety is a natural emotion inherent in all healthy human beings. While it serves a purpose in certain situations, it becomes problematic when it interferes with daily life and becomes destructive. 
    Overwhelming anxiety hinders our ability to manage day-to-day activities, leading to muscle tension, shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, and other physical symptoms. We often try to avoid triggering situations. Not only does anxiety impact our own well-being, but it also affects the people around us, including friends and family. 
    This course emphasizes shifting and mastering our relationship with anxiety, rather than attempting to eradicate it. By becoming at ease with anxiety and accepting its presence when it arises, we can avoid getting entangled in it or trying to suppress it.

    Quantum Miracles: Faith, Consciousness & The Quantum Field 
    The Nature of Miracles 
    What if miracles are not rare or random, but part of how the universe really works? This audiobook explores the meeting place of faith, science, and human potential. Miracles are presented not only as acts of divine power, but also as the result of human consciousness interacting with the hidden fabric of reality known as the quantum field. 
    Ancient Wisdom and Modern Science 
    From stories of healing and transformation to the discoveries of quantum physics, listeners learn how prayer, intention, and belief may shape outcomes in daily life. The quantum field connects everything, and experiments suggest that observation and thought can influence it. This opens the door to understanding miracles as natural events that come from the link between mind, spirit, and matter. 
    Quantum Principles in Action 
    Wave and particle behavior, superposition, and entanglement are explained in simple terms. These principles connect to healing, synchronicity, and faith. The observer effect suggests that consciousness plays an active role in shaping the world around us, making miracles more understandable. 
    Practical Applications 
    Through stories and examples, Quantum Miracles shows how focused thought, prayer, and faith can create real change. Healing of the body, renewal of relationships, and meaningful coincidences are seen as natural results of the interaction between spirit and science. 
    An Invitation to Believe 
    This audiobook encourages listeners to see themselves not as passive witnesses, but as participants in the miracle-making process. Clear and uplifting, it invites seekers, skeptics, and believers to open their minds and hearts to the possibility that miracles are within reach, waiting to be embraced in everyday life.

    Mississippi rivers and creeks have shaped every aspect of the state's geology, ecology, economy, settlement, and politics. Mississippi's paddleways—its rivers, rills, creeks, and streams—are its arteries, its lifeblood, and the connective tissues that tie its stories and histories together and flood them with a sense of place and impel them along the current of time. The rivers provide structure for the telling of stories. In Paddleways of Mississippi: Rivers and People of the Magnolia State, listeners will discover flowing details of virtually every waterway in the state—the features, wildlife, vegetation, geology, hydrology, and specific challenges to be expected—alongside many wonderful historical and social accounts specific to each system. 
     
     
     
    Interviews and oral histories enliven these waterways with evocative scenery, engaging anecdotes, interesting historical tales, and personal accounts of the people and communities that arose along the waterways of Mississippi. Part natural history, part narrative nonfiction, Paddleways of Mississippi will appeal to outdoor enthusiasts, anglers, naturalists, campers, and historians, and is suitable for novices as well as experts. Told together, the pieces included are a social and ecological history that exposes and deepens the connection coursing between the people and the rivers.

    An accessible yet erudite deep dive into how platforms are remaking experiences of death 
     
     
      
    Since the internet's earliest days, people have died and mourned online. In quiet corners of past iterations of the web, the dead linger. But attempts at preserving the data of the dead are often ill-fated, for websites and devices decay and die, just as people do. Death disrupts technologists' plans for platforms. It reveals how digital production is always collaborative, undermining the entrepreneurial platform economy and highlighting the flaws of techno-solutionism. 
     
     
      
    Big Tech has authority not only over people's lives but over their experiences of death as well. Ordinary users and workers, though, advocate for changes to tech companies' policies around death. Drawing on internet histories along with interviews with founders of digital afterlife startups, caretakers of illness blogs, and transhumanist tinkerers, the technology scholar Tamara Kneese takes listeners on a vibrant tour of the ways that platforms and people work together to care for digital remains. What happens when commercial platforms encounter the messiness of mortality?
