    Break Free From What Holds You Back 
    Ever felt trapped by your own mind? Like your thoughts are quicksand pulling you deeper the more you struggle? You're not alone. 
    This audiobook speaks to anyone who knows what it's like when anxiety takes the wheel or when memories hijack your peace. It's for people who've tried "just thinking positive" and found it doesn't touch the real issues. 
    What you'll get: 
    •	Real talk about a therapy approach that doesn't promise to eliminate your difficult thoughts, but shows you something better - how to live fully even with them 
    •	A straightforward way to figure out what actually matters to you (not what you think should matter) 
    •	Specific help for OCD and PTSD that goes beyond the standard advice 
    •	Simple practices you can actually fit into your life 
    Who needs this: 
    •	If you're tired of being ruled by "what if" thoughts that spiral out of control 
    •	If traumatic experiences still color your world years later 
    •	If you've built your life around avoiding discomfort, only to find your world getting smaller 
    •	If therapy has helped but you want tools for the spaces between sessions 
    •	If you work in mental health and want fresh perspectives for your clients 
    The techniques shared here come from real clinical work with real people. They're explained in everyday language with examples that might make you think, "that's exactly how it feels." 
    Listen while driving, doing dishes, or before sleep. The beauty of these approaches is they don't require perfect focus or hours of meditation. Small shifts add up. Little moments of awareness create space for change. 
    This audiobook doesn't promise to fix you, because you're not broken. It offers a way to stop fighting yourself and start moving toward the life you want - even with uncertainty, even with difficult feelings, even with an imperfect mind.

    •	The Fragility of Political Ambition – A revealing dialogue between Socrates and Alcibiades on the ignorance behind power-seeking. 
    •	A Sharp Critique of Prayer – Philosophical guidance on why piety demands more than sincerity. 
    •	A Modern, Accessible Translation – Clear, faithful, and resonant for today’s listener.

    Richard Jacobs is a highly successful entrepreneur, accomplished podcast host, and author known for his significant contributions to various fields. As the founder of a research program and software platform, Richard has played a pivotal role in advancing groundbreaking work. 
    In October 2016, driven by a keen interest in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, 3D printing, regenerative medicine, Bitcoin, and blockchain, Richard embarked on a journey to unravel the mysteries of these fields. This passion culminated in the creation of the Future Tech Podcast. From the beginning, his goal was to find geniuses—the top 1% in their field who are almost impossible to reach from the outside. 
    Following a significant health crisis in 2017, Richard shifted his focus to health, medicine, and bioscience issues that impact us all, and the Finding Genius Podcast was born. His growing commitment to fostering understanding and innovation led him to establish the Finding Genius Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit supporting revolutionary research initiatives. 
    Driven by a mission to unearth transformative insights in the science of health and wellness, the foundation aims to make these insights accessible to everyday individuals who stand to benefit the most. Complementing this endeavor, Richard hosts two additional podcasts, The Good Question and Surviving Hard Times, both committed to delivering life-enriching and practical information. 
    Richard's extensive interviews with nearly 4,000 scientists, researchers, clinicians, CEOs, CSOs, entrepreneurs, and amateur scientists have resulted in a rich knowledge database and the Finding Genius book series, covering relevant and intriguing topics, including viruses, cancer, sleep health, and microplastics. He continues to be a driving force in entrepreneurship, podcasting, and philanthropy, leaving a lasting mark on the landscape of scientific exploration.

    Peace As A Science - Towards A...

    What if peace isn’t a moral ideal… 
    but a measurable state of stability? 
      
      
    Peace As A Science reframes peace from aspiration to architecture — not as passivity or the absence of conflict, but as the stabilisation of complexity. 
      
    Drawing on neuroscience, systems theory, biology, physics, and lived human experience, this book explores a radical but grounded idea: 
      
    Peace behaves like a coherent field. 
      
    It can be observed in regulated nervous systems, traced in feedback loops and probability, strengthened through applied principles, and scaled — from the body to relationships, from culture to governance. 
      
    Through a peace lens, we reframe mental health as adaptive intelligence under rupture, neurodivergence as configuration, and justice as restorative rather than revenge — extending from identity through to education, healthcare, media, technology, and war. We move from inner experience to large-scale systems, asking how stability forms, how it breaks, and offering practical tools to repair and build peace. 
      
    It is rigorous, practical, occasionally funny, and deeply human. 
      
    Peace is dimensional and we explore how time travel might not require a machine, but awareness - because peaceful choices shift probability and alter trajectory. And yes, pop culture is part of the laboratory - because sometimes Yoda explains regulation better than a textbook. 
      
      
      
    Because if peace has structure, it can be studied. 
    If it can be studied, it can be practiced. 
    And if it can be practiced, it can be built.
