  This audiobook explores Native American mythologies to view the relationships between humans and animals. 
  Traditional Native Americans view animals as elder brothers who embody the knowledge sets necessary for survival on this Earth. This vantage point facilitates openness within humans to learn from animals. Animals play the roles of tutelary spirits, helpers, and guides, and sometimes shapeshift from Holy Person to animal or back. This emphasizes the fluidity between the worlds of spirit and matter and highlights animals as oriented toward being helpful to humanity in various ways. As expressed through language and ritual, respect details preserve the relationship between the community, the animals, and the natural landscape. 
  Animals push human beings into interiority. The spirits choose a person and then utilize animals to communicate and transmit spiritual understandings and abilities. It is then up to the individual to bring this vision to usefulness on Earth.

  On the fraught bonds between daughters and their fathers, women, and the patriarchy 
   
   
   
  In this beguiling, incisive book, critically acclaimed writer Katherine Angel examines the place of fathers in contemporary culture with her characteristic mix of boldness and nuance, asking how the mixture of love and hatred we feel toward our fathers—and patriarchal father figures—can be turned into a relationship that is generative rather than destructive. 
   
   
   
  Moving deftly between psychoanalysis from Freud to Winnicott, cultural visions of fathering from King Lear to Ivanka Trump, and issues from incest to MeToo, Angel probes the fraught bond of daughters and fathers, women and the patriarchal regime. What, she asks, is this discomfiting space of love and hate—and how are we to reckon with both fealty and rebellion? 
   
   
   
  As in her earlier book Tomorrow Sex Will Be Good Again, Angel proves herself to be one of the most perceptive feminist writers at work today.

  A Very British Cult - Rogue...

  A secluded country house. A rogue Anglican Priest. Ceremonial sex and mislaid fortunes.
  
  This is the almost-forgotten story of Victorian Britain's strangest religious sect and its wealthy, mostly female, followers who believed they could ascend directly to heaven. Henry James Prince was a rogue Anglican Priest with a flare for the dramatic, and the founder of the Agapemone, or 'Abode of Love'. He also claimed to be the immortal conduit of The Holy Spirit and purportedly engaged in free love and ceremonial sex with his mostly female followers. But Prince's eventual death didn't mark the end of this strange set... he was promptly replaced by another. John Hugh Smyth-Pigott - otherwise known as the Clapton Messiah.
  
  The Abode transformed a sleepy, rural corner of Somerset into one of England's most notorious locations. While the followers shut themselves away and waited patiently for the end of the world, outrage grew - the word 'Agapemone' because a byword for licentiousness or idleness, used by Charles Dickens and Ford Maddox Ford. The reclusive Clapton Messiah became a fixture in the nation's papers, with frenzied efforts to discredit the organisation and undermine its leader. And still the cult grew.
  
  Expertly drawing on primary sources to tell the story of the Agapemonites in details for the first time, Stuart Flinders shines a light on the people drawn to the cult - the forced marriages; the swindled fortunes; the women condemned to asylums; and those who managed to escape from the Abode. It is also the story of two extraordinary men, whose claims of divinity were at the heart of this very British cult.

  Unclench: Stop Holding Back. Start Moving 
  What if the real obstacle in your life is not lack of knowledge, motivation, or confidence—but a subtle tightening that happens in the body when uncertainty appears? 
  In Unclench, author and narrator Gigi Bird introduces a practical framework for recognizing and interrupting this pattern. Drawing on insights from behavioral science, neuroscience, and Eastern philosophy, the audiobook explores how hesitation often begins as a physical response: the jaw tightens, the shoulders rise, the mind begins to circle the same thoughts. 
  Through clear explanations, research-grounded insights, and relatable everyday examples, Bird presents the Unclench Method: 
  Notice. 
  Release. 
  Move. 
  Repeat. 
  Listeners learn how simple physical actions—such as breathing, posture shifts, and ordinary daily movement—can interrupt cycles of overthinking, regulate the nervous system, and create momentum even when certainty is not yet available. 
  Rather than promising the elimination of fear, Unclench offers something more realistic and powerful: a way to act while fear is present. 
  This audiobook is for anyone who has ever found themselves hesitating, overanalyzing, or waiting for the perfect moment to begin. 
  Movement changes everything. 
  Notice the tightening. 
  Release it. 
  Move anyway.
