  Hubris - The Rise Fall and...

  Humans are the most intelligent beings this planet has ever produced. But how is it that we find ourselves faced with an existential crisis that threatens to overwhelm us? 
   
   
   
  Leading archaeogeneticist Johannes Krause and journalist Thomas Trappe investigate what DNA can tell us about how we got where we are and what our future might be. They show how the first humans were defeated again and again and suffered fatal setbacks, and how Homo sapiens succeeded in conquering continents, overcoming natural borders, and bringing other species under its control. But the genetic blueprint that enabled us to get to the place where we are today had one flaw: it didn't factor in planetary boundaries. Now that we are approaching those boundaries for the first time after millions of years of evolution, an urgent question arises: can we learn to live within the planetary limits, or are we doomed by our DNA to continue to expand, consume, and absorb the resources around us to the point of exhaustion, consigning ourselves and other species to extinction? 
   
   
   
  While the looming climate crisis does not augur well for humanity's capacity to adapt to the new situation in which it finds itself, we are not at the mercy of our DNA—or at least we don't have to be. But can we harness the lessons of the past to survive the present?

  A passionate and imaginative exploration of wood – the material that shaped human history. 
  As a material, wood has no equal in strength, resilience, adaptability and availability. It has been our partner in the cultural evolution from woodland foragers to engineers of our own destiny. Tracing that partnership through tools, devices, construction and artistic expression, Max Adams explores the role that wood has played in our own history as an imaginative, curious and resourceful species. Beginning with an investigation of the material properties of various species of wood, The Museum of the Wood Age investigates the influence of six basic devices – wedge, inclined plane, screw, lever, wheel, axle and pulley – and in so doing reveals the myriad ways in which wood has been worked throughout human history. From the simple bivouacs of hunter-gatherers to sophisticated wooden buildings such as stave churches; from the decorative arts to the humble woodworking of rustic furniture; Max Adams fashions a lattice of interconnected stories and objects that trace a path of human ingenuity across half a million years of history.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Have you ever wondered if your psychiatric diagnosis is treating symptoms of spiritual crisis rather than mental illness? What if the mental health crisis that changed your life wasn't a chemical imbalance at all, but a spiritual battle that psychiatry refuses to acknowledge? This heartful academic testimony challenges everything you thought you knew about mental illness, religious practice, and the hidden assumptions behind psychiatric diagnoses. 
   
  Can psychiatry truly be professionally unprejudiced when it denies the existence of God, Prophethood, Divine Revelation, Angels, Demons, Magic, and spiritual realities? This book will challenge mental health professionals to examine the hidden religious assumptions in their supposedly secular practice, and offer hope to anyone who's been told their spiritual beliefs are symptoms of illness. Through extensive psychoanalysis, prophetic evidence, sociological historical facts and brutally honest self-examination, the author invites mental health professionals to reconsider the foundations of their practice and explore whether Islamic spiritual treatment offers answers that pharmaceutical intervention and secular psychotherapy cannot provide. If you've ever questioned whether psychiatry truly understands the human soul, this book provides answers you won't find in any DSM manual. 
   
  "My Dawah Letter to Psychiatrists and Therapists" offers a perspective on mental health that you've never encountered-one that challenges the very foundations of secular psychiatry while offering hope for complete healing through Islamic spiritual development. Whether you're a mental health professional questioning your field's limitations, a religious person who's been pathologized for your beliefs, or someone seeking answers beyond pharmaceutical intervention, this book will transform how you understand the relationship between faith, mental health, and human growth.

  Paranoia: A Journey Into Extreme...

  'A TRULY IMPORTANT BOOK’ JOHN HUMPHRYS 
  'FASCINATING… SHOCKING' SPECTATOR 
  What is paranoia? What makes us mistrustful? How can this be overcome? 
  Daniel Freeman, Professor of Psychology at Oxford, has spent thirty years at the vanguard of paranoia research and treatment. This remarkable and moving book tells the story of that journey. 
  For decades, conventional wisdom held that paranoia was only experienced by people with severe mental health problems and little could be done to rectify its disastrous effects. Paranoia gives us a front row seat as Freeman turns the traditional view on its head. 
  He develops life-changing treatments for clinical paranoia – often using state-of-the-art technology like virtual reality. He reveals that suspicion is rife in society, with paranoia widespread, conspiracy theories rampant and emotion all too often trumping evidence. He discovers the causes of mistrust, including the role of genes, trauma, lack of sleep, worry, low self-confidence, cannabis use and hearing voices, and delves into the murky world of Covid-19 conspiracy theories. Lighting up the narrative throughout are the rarely heard voices of people whose lives have been almost wrecked by paranoia – and then in many cases transformed by Freeman’s groundbreaking treatments. 
  This is also a practical book. Freeman shows how we can measure our own levels of mistrust. He explains how we can remedy things if those levels are higher than we’d like, because although mistrust can seem engrained, things can change for the better. Ultimately, it can be overcome. Compelling and compassionate, this is a gripping tale from the front line of suspicion – an impassioned plea for the urgent rebuilding of trust between us all. 
  Daniel Freeman's Paranoia is a compelling mix of autobiography, neuroscience, and social science. It offers a deep understanding of paranoia, its medical implications, and the anxieties and phobias it can cause, providing self-help strategies for patients. 
  For fans of Lucy Johnstone (Users and Abusers of Psychiatry), Esmé Weijun Wang (The Collected Schizophrenias), Irvin D. Yalom (Hour of the Heart), Dr Joseph Jebelli (The Brain at Rest), and Paul Gilbert (CFT Made Simple).
