    A Sunday Times bestseller that redefines anxiety as an addiction—and gives you the tools to finally break the cycle. This program is read by the author.Why do we stay anxious even when we desperately want peace? In Addicted to Anxiety, Sunday Times bestselling author and psychotherapist Owen O’Kane reveals the hidden truth: anxiety isn’t just a feeling—it’s a habit, one we may be unconsciously addicted to. Drawing on over 25 years of clinical experience, O’Kane explains how anxious thought loops, emotional avoidance, and a subconscious belief in the “safety” of worry can keep us stuck. The good news? Once you understand the mechanism, you can break it.Unlike typical anxiety books that focus on symptom relief, Addicted to Anxiety tackles the root cause—our reliance on anxious behaviors to cope, control, or feel safe. With warmth, clarity, and actionable guidance, O’Kane offers tools to help readers identify triggers, challenge core beliefs, and build new habits that lead to a calmer, more empowered life. His signature approach, grounded in neuroscience and psychology but deeply human and accessible, makes complex emotional patterns feel manageable—and changeable.Already a bestseller in the UK and translated into 19 languages, Addicted to Anxiety has struck a global chord with readers, media, and mental health professionals alike. Whether you’re a chronic overthinker, an anxious high-achiever, or simply someone feeling overwhelmed by a turbulent world, this book offers both insight and hope. It's time to break up with anxiety—and finally feel free.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press Essentials

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  MAGNIFICENT COUNTRY ESTATES The Duchy of Cornwall Estate – Established 1337 The summary of this audiobook is as follows: The Duchy of Cornwall, established in 1337 by King Edward III, is England’s oldest duchy, created to provide financial independence for the heir to the throne. Originally comprising lands in Cornwall and beyond, it has evolved from a medieval feudal estate into a modern, sustainable enterprise under Prince William, the 25th Duke. Historical Foundations The Duchy was founded through a royal charter granting Edward, the Black Prince, extensive lands and administrative rights. Over centuries, it survived political turmoil, including the English Civil War, adapting to economic and social changes while maintaining its core purpose. Evolution & Leadership Key figures like Prince Albert (Queen Victoria’s consort) and Prince Charles (Duke from 1952–2022) modernized the estate. Charles championed organic farming, sustainable architecture (Poundbury), and environmental stewardship. Today, Prince William focuses on social impact, mental health support for farmers, and homelessness initiatives. 
     
    Modern Estate & Operations The Duchy spans 135,000 acres across 20 counties, including: Dartmoor’s uplands (50% of holdings) Poundbury & Nansledan (sustainable urban developments) The Isles of Scilly (conservation and tourism) Revenue (£23.6M in 2023-24) funds royal duties, community projects, and environmental programs. The Duchy operates as a private estate with crown exemptions but voluntarily pays income tax. Sustainability & Social Impact The Duchy leads in: Regenerative agriculture (Focus Farms initiative) Net-zero goals by 2032 (renewable energy, carbon sequestration) Affordable housing and mental health support for rural communities Future Vision By its 700th anniversary (2037), the Duchy aims to balance tradition with innovation, serving as a model for sustainable land management and community development while supporting the monarchy’s future.

    And so we were wanting to discuss the significance of the new book. We even know you are questioning the title of this, it wasn't about opening up your mindset, it was about understanding the significance of the written text, once again, and how that can be so profound, and absorption of the information is easier to digest. We see that the voice and the words through the videos with the sound can almost put people into a hypnotic state themselves, where they are not even able to consciously absorb and follow the information. They find that they have to keep listening to the sessions many times because they just go into a very relaxed trance state themselves where they're getting their own upgrades and epiphanies and senses of their own higher versions of selves and other multi-dimensional aspects of self. 
    This is going to be a profound book that we view this as, because this is the teachings of Jesus. And while we were giving you strong senses that we did not want you to abuse or label the name of him because of the misperceptions of who he is, and who he stands for; we see many people reluctant to be interested in what that man had to say, because they have still got a firm attachment to him being a part of a religion that may have been part of their inner childhood trauma or work, not just this lifetime. We know many who are still traumatized by being killed for a religion, either because they did not comply or they were trying to share other perspectives of religion. So there is much to be said about what religion has done to humanity. And of course, it's human free-will choices. But the truth has almost been so hidden from humanity that the truth has been so watered down and twisted with opinions. It's been a total manipulation for many. This is Earth's history. We cannot pretend it has not been as such.

    In terms of geopolitics, perhaps the most seminal event of the Middle Ages was the successful Ottoman siege of Constantinople in 1453. The city had been an imperial capital as far back as the 4th century, when Constantine the Great shifted the power center of the Roman Empire there, effectively establishing two almost equally powerful halves of antiquity’s greatest empire. Constantinople would continue to serve as the capital of the Byzantine Empire even after the Western half of the Roman Empire collapsed in the late 5th century. Naturally, the Ottoman Empire would also use Constantinople as the capital of its empire after their conquest effectively ended the Byzantine Empire, and thanks to its strategic location, it has been a trading center for years and remains one today under the Turkish name of Istanbul.  
    	In the wake of taking Constantinople, the Ottoman Empire would spend the next few centuries expanding its size, power, and influence, bumping up against Eastern Europe and becoming one of the world’s most important geopolitical players. It was a rise that would not truly start to wane until the 19th century. 
    Among those who were responsible for the projection of Ottoman power, few deserve as much credit as the Janissaries. Established by Murad I, the Janissaries became an elite infantry force that was loyal only to the sultan. Their mission was to protect only him and in battles they were always the closest to him, forming a human shield.  
    Civilizations across the steppes and the Middle East relied heavily on cavalry, and the Sipahi were elite cavalry units during medieval times for a couple of powers. That said, they were a massive contributor to the success of Ottoman warfare, and during good times for the empire, the Sipahi were rewarded, to the extent that they became their own social class, much like the Janissaries.
