  The Word of Dog - What Our...

  A heartwarming philosophical meditation on how to live a fulfilling life—inspired by the inherent happiness of dogs. 
   
   
   
  If you have spent any part of your life with a dog, you may have found certain questions popping, unbidden, into your mind: Is my dog living a fulfilled life? Is my dog a good dog? Does my dog love me? Addressing these questions compels you to confront not just your dog's life but yours as well—to think about what fulfillment, and meaning, in life really is. 
   
   
   
  In The Word of Dog, philosopher Mark Rowlands explores these questions and suggests that in dogs we can see hints—faint, shrouded, but discernible—of what a better way of living might look like. Perhaps none of us can be happy in the way a dog can, but The Word of Dog shows us we could do a lot better than we're doing simply by listening to the unspoken wisdom our dogs reveal to us every day of their happy, uncomplicated lives.

  Ways of Voice - Vocal Striving...

  Matthew Rahaim

  Ways of Voice explores techniques of voice production in North India, from Bollywood to raga music to ghazal to devotional hymns and Sufi song. The voices in play here are not merely given, but achieved. Singers consciously train themselves to cultivate characteristic vocal gaits, sonorities, and poetic attunements; they adopt postures of the vocal apparatus; they build habits of listening, temporality, and social relations. The action in Ways of Voice revolves around several dozen North Indian popular, devotional, classical, and folk singers engaged in projects of vocal striving. Like most singers, they are strategically working on changing, refining, and making their own voices. The book thus highlights the ways in which singers not only "have" voice, but actively acquire, cultivate and contest particular vocal dispositions for particular kinds of listeners. In framing a "Hindustani vocal ecumene" that encompasses a diverse range of classical, popular, and spiritual-devotional musical styles and practices, it offers an expansive look at ways of voice that extend far beyond commonsense boundaries of genre and place. A rich archive of audio and video examples are provided on the online companion site, which can be found at https://www.weslpress.org/readers-companions/.

  Help Yourself - The Surface

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Help Yourself – The Surface is a roadmap for creators who refuse to fade into the noise. Life’s rhythm can feel relentless—rules, expectations, and judgment beating down until your inner music goes silent. But what if you could turn that chaos into sound? What if every scar became a note in your comeback song? 
  This book is my story of doing exactly that—rewriting pain into purpose through music. From a five-year-old on a piano bench in Latvia’s Song and Dance Festival, surrounded by 12,000 voices, to dark nights in underground clubs where raw riffs became lifelines. Each chapter reveals how rhythm, resilience, and creativity can pull you from collapse to clarity. 
  Like The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron and Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert, this book helps you unlock your creative pulse and reconnect with your power. It’s a guide for dreamers, rebels, and Gen Z creators searching for a sense of meaning in a world that moves too fast. 
  You’ll learn to find your “reset word”—mine is music—to anchor yourself through struggle. You’ll see how small wins, like in Atomic Habits, build unstoppable momentum. You’ll face fear and resistance like in The War of Art, and find freedom through vulnerability, echoing Daring Greatly. 
  From metal bands to Fruity Loops sessions, from trauma and betrayal to founding Fresh Music Frontier (FMF)—a platform born to lift artists—the journey shows that creation isn’t just expression; it’s survival. 
  Help Yourself – The Surface is a manifesto for anyone ready to turn pain into progress, noise into melody, and doubt into drive. If Man’s Search for Meaning taught us to find light in suffering, this book turns that light into sound. 
  Your life is a track in progress. It’s time to hit play.
