Summary

Across the Plains is the novel that will definitely keep you involved with the journey of the emigrant, as presented by the author. The minute details of the contemporary American towns and country has the power to nostalgically amuse and hanker for more of it. The movement of the emigrant train, the plains of Nebraska, the deserts of Wyoming, etc present a picture that is very hard to erase from the memory, for the observation of the author is so versatile that even a layman can steal his share as a reader. Across the Plains is considered one of the all time best novels by the author.

    'I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee, or a ragout.'
    
    One of the most-studied pieces of satire in history, 'A Modest Proposal' is a darkly funny yet scathing critique of British colonialism from an Irish lens.
    
    First published in 1729 to much backlash, Swift goes to great lengths to illustrate a potential solution to poverty and overpopulation in Ireland: parents undergoing economic hardship ought to sell their children as food for the upper classes. A masterclass in irony, Swift delves into the financial benefits of his suggestion, even offering numerous ways to prepare babies for consumption. A powerful and shocking criticism of the dire conditions of Ireland and indifference of the British government at the time, 'A Modest Proposal' remains widely read to this day. This audiobook edition is narrated by the talented Malk Williams.
    Jonathan Swift (1667 – 1745) was an Irish writer and satirist, famed for his deadpan style of writing. He is best remembered for his satirical works 'A Modest Proposal (1729) and Gulliver's Travels (1726). A master in the art of irony, future works of satire in his style of hyperbole have subsequently been classed as 'Swiftian'.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Most people walk through life using instinct, emotion and survival patterns they never consciously chose. They repeat the same loops, fall into the same reactions and live inside identities built from old experiences rather than future possibilities. The Clarity Codes was written to change that. 
    This book reveals the psychological operating system behind your mind-the unseen structures, emotional algorithms and behavioural patterns that shape how you think, feel, act and evolve. Instead of motivational clichés, you get real mechanisms: how the brain forms loops, how emotions hijack logic, how habits embed into identity, how trauma becomes a pattern and how the mind can be retrained with precision. 
    Across its chapters, you’ll learn how to calm mental noise, regulate emotional floods, dissolve cognitive distortions, stop self-sabotage, rewire patterns, break cycles of avoidance and build a self-image that naturally creates better choices. Each concept comes with simple, direct tools you can use immediately-no jargon, no fluff, just clarity. 
    The book now includes three practical Clarity Protocols designed for different timeframes: a 30-minute reset, a 3-hour reset and a 3-week transformation plan, so you can apply the principles in the way that fits your life. 
    You will learn how to: 
    • interrupt overthinking without fighting thoughts 
    • dissolve anxiety loops using cognitive and physical resets 
    • stop emotional spirals before they take over 
    • shift identity through small, repeatable actions 
    • build habits that stick because they match who you are becoming 
    • navigate relationships with clarity instead of reaction 
    • process experiences without being overwhelmed 
    • design your future self with intention rather than hope 
    By the end, you will gain something most people never receive: a clear internal map for being human.
