  John Bowlby transformed how we understand love, loss, and the bonds that shape us. As the father of attachment theory, he reshaped psychology, parenting, and modern therapy—yet the man behind the science carried mysteries of his own. 
  Searching for Bowlby traces his journey from an emotionally distant childhood to a pioneering career that challenged the foundations of mental health. Through setbacks, breakthroughs, and a relentless search for truth, Bowlby revealed what many resisted: human connection isn’t a luxury. It’s survival. 
  Blending biography, history, and psychology, this audiobook offers an intimate portrait of a complicated thinker and a clear look at the revolution he started. For anyone interested in relationships, healing, or the deeper roots of human behavior, it shows how one man’s determination forever changed the way we understand ourselves and each other.

  The way we glow when having a great conversation, building off each other’s ideas, finding solutions we can all be satisfied with. The way we spark together when marching in protest. This is living democracy. 
  Yes, the world looks bleak. Across our society there’s a mounting sense of desperation in the face of the climate crisis, gaping economic inequality and racial injustice, increasing threat of war, and a post-truth politics divorced from reality. Extinction is in the air. 
  But what if the solutions to our ecological, social and political crises could all be found in the same approach? What if it was possible for us to not just survive, but thrive? 
  In Living Democracy, Tim Hollo offers bold ideas and a positive vision. It’s the end of the world as we know it, but it doesn’t have to be the end of the world. In fact, around the globe, people and communities are beginning an exciting new journey. 
  This book will inspire you, inform you, and get you fired up to co-create our common future. A living democracy.

  The book Coming Together provides hope and an action plan for us to work together and fix many of the problems in our country. 
  The U.S. used to provide affordable healthcare, and education. Our people supported workers' rights. We used to invest in our people. We are being told that we can't do those things, and gaslit into thinking that the crippling healthcare and educational debt being forced upon is our fault. 
  Too many times we have used fear to dehumanize people because of the color of their skin, or sexual preference. 
  Many of our politicians gain tremendous wealth and power by keeping us divided and hopeless. 
  We have fought hard to conquer these problems before, and we can do it again. We can work together towards a more honest and just society. We can repair the damage done to our society from the lies we have been told.

  Thus Spoke Zaratustra

  Friedrich Nietzsche

  "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" is a philosophical novel written by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, first published in 1883. The book is divided into four parts and tells the story of a fictional character named Zarathustra, who is on a journey to share his philosophy with the people. 
  The book is often considered Nietzsche's masterpiece and explores themes such as the death of God, the will to power, and the Übermensch (or superman). Through Zarathustra's journey, Nietzsche presents his ideas on morality, religion, and the nature of humanity. 
  The character of Zarathustra is inspired by the historical figure of Zarathustra, who founded the ancient Persian religion of Zoroastrianism. However, Nietzsche's Zarathustra is not a religious prophet but a philosopher who seeks to share his wisdom with humanity. 
  The style of "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" is highly poetic and symbolic, often using metaphorical language to express complex philosophical ideas. The book has been highly influential in modern philosophy, literature, and art, and its impact can be seen in the works of many later thinkers, such as Martin Heidegger and Jean-Paul Sartre.
