  Have you ever wondered why your brain self-sabotages? Or why your actions seem self-defeating or destructive? This book explores how our brains have evolved to favor survival over mental well-being—creating "controlled explosions"—and provides practical ways to understand, acknowledge, and defuse them. 
   
  Controlled Explosions in Mental Health identifies everyday scenarios in which one may experience self-destructive behavior such as procrastination or self-criticism. Each chapter guides the listener through key examples of controlled explosions, identifying and exploring their possible functions. Listeners will learn how to identify when one or more of these "explosions" are operating in their lives, recognize the potential harm or difficulties this may cause, and learn practical ways to navigate and overcome. The friendly, accessible narrative, teamed with guided examples to aid self-practice, makes this book the ultimate companion for navigating your mental health. 
   
  This book supports the path to self-awareness, helping the listener take control of their own struggles with insight, care, and compassion. It's a must-have for any listener looking to better understand their mental health and wellbeing.

  When a pseudonymous programmer introduced "a new electronic cash system that's fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party" to a small online mailing list in 2008, very few people paid attention. Ten years later, and against all odds, this upstart autonomous decentralized software offers an unstoppable and globally accessible hard money alternative to modern central banks. The Bitcoin Standard analyzes the historical context to the rise of Bitcoin, the economic properties that have allowed it to grow quickly, and its likely economic, political, and social implications. 
  While Bitcoin is an invention of the digital age, the problem it purports to solve is as old as human society itself: transferring value across time and space. Author Saifedean Ammous takes the listener on an engaging journey through the history of technologies performing the functions of money, from primitive systems of trading limestones and seashells, to metals, coins, the gold standard, and modern government debt. Exploring what gave these technologies their monetary role, and how most lost it, provides the listener with a good idea of what makes for sound money, and sets the stage for an economic discussion of its consequences for individual and societal future-orientation, capital accumulation, trade, peace, culture, and art.

  The Neanderthals - A History...

  In August 1856, mine workers were excavating the Feldhofer Grotto in the western part of Germany. The cave was one of many in a narrow gorge cut by the Düssel River through limestone outcrops. Here, workers discovered what they believed were human bones. An amateur naturalist from the nearby town of Elberfeld, Johann Carl Fuhlrott, heard about the find and decided to take a look at the remains, which were said to be very old. This discovery would ultimately reshape our understanding of human evolution, though that realization would take many decades to unfold. 
  Fuhlrott examined the bones, which were many thousands of years old. They were similar to human bones, but also notably different. Fuhlrott took the bones to a professor of anatomy at the University of Bonn, Hermann Schaaffhausen, who agreed that these appeared to be the remains of a primitive human. In 1857, the two men announced their find and identified the remains as Homo neanderthalensis (after the Neander Valley in which they had been found). Their discovery was initially greeted with indifference and even hostility. The scientific community's resistance reflected the prevailing worldview of the era, where the biblical account of human creation still held considerable sway. However, as more similar remains were found in the decades that followed, it became accepted that the Neanderthal was a hominid that predated modern humans, Homo sapiens. 
  At first, it was generally accepted that the Neanderthals were primitive, brutish beings who were superseded by more advanced humans. It is only relatively recently that we have discovered that Neanderthal people had an advanced culture, and that most people today carry traces of Neanderthal DNA! This is the fascinating and surprising story of the Neanderthals.

  Strata - Stories from Deep Time

  Laura Poppick

  The epic stories of our planet's 4.54-billion-year history are written in strata―ages-old remnants of ancient seafloors, desert dunes, and riverbeds striping landscapes around the world. In this brilliantly original debut work, science writer Laura Poppick decodes strata to lead us on a journey through four global transformations that made our lives on Earth possible: the first accumulations of oxygen in the atmosphere; the deep freezes of "Snowball Earth"; the rise of mud on land and accompanying proliferation of plants; and the dinosaurs' reign on a hothouse planet 
  Poppick introduces us to the researchers who have devoted their careers to understanding the events of deep time. She travels to sites as various as a Minnesotan iron mine that runs half a mile deep and a corner of the Australian Outback where glacial deposits date from the coldest times on Earth. Ultimately, she demonstrates that the planet's oceans, continents, atmosphere, life, and ice have always conspired to bring stability to Earth, even if we are only just beginning to understand how these different facets interact. 
  A work in the tradition of John McPhee, Strata allows us to observe how the planet has responded to past periods of environmental upheaval, and shows how Earth's ancient narratives could hold lessons for our present and future.
