    What if your peace of mind was the highest form of wisdom? 
    In Charmides, Plato presents a timeless dialogue that gently peels back the layers of self-control, modesty, and knowledge. Socrates engages the charming and reflective youth Charmides in a quest to define “temperance”—a word that touches everything from our moral compass to our emotional balance. 
    Through careful questions and subtle insights, this modern audiobook brings to life a powerful but often overlooked dialogue—one that asks whether the truest form of strength lies in knowing, and governing, oneself. 
    What you’ll discover inside: 
    •	A subtle but profound inquiry into temperance, modesty, and inner harmony 
    •	Socratic questioning at its most reflective, unraveling assumptions with grace 
    •	A fresh look at the link between virtue and knowledge 
    •	A translation that retains the poetic charm and intellectual clarity of the original 
    Whether you’re seeking calm in a chaotic world or pondering the nature of self-discipline, Charmides is a philosophical mirror worth holding up to the soul.

    Did you know that Shah Jahan once planned to build another Taj Mahal in his empire? 
    The Taj Mahal is renowned for its exceptional architecture that infuses elements from various influences around the world, including the magnificence of Mughal, Persian, and Islamic architectural styles. 
    Shah Jahan, the reigning emperor of the Mughal Empire, had been plagued with sadness following the death of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. And so, as a parting gift to her, the mourning emperor commissioned the construction of a grand mausoleum made of white marble. 
    Upon completion, the Taj Mahal stood on the banks of the Yamuna River, impressing those who gazed at its marvelous façade glimmering under the bright sun. A reflective pool enhanced its perfections, but it was the mausoleum’s symmetrical design that captivated many. The symmetry could be seen in each corner of the complex except for Mumtaz Mahal’s extravagant tomb chamber—the symmetrical design was broken when Shah Jahan’s cenotaph was added years later. 
    Some said it was intentional, while others claimed Shah Jahan never intended to be buried beside his wife. Legend has it that the emperor was planning to build another mausoleum for himself that mirrored the Taj Mahal; it was to be placed across from the Taj Mahal and made of black marble. However, whether this is true remains a debate. Ancient sources contradict each other, which can be confusing for curious readers. 
    But that is about to change. With this all-new history audiobook, you can easily explore the gripping events that led to the construction of the Seven Wonders of the New World.

    The Absent Father Effect on Daughters investigates the impact of absent—physically or emotionally—and inadequate fathers on the lives and psyches of their daughters through the perspective of Jungian analytical psychology. This book tells the stories of daughters who describe the insecurity of self, the splintering and disintegration of the personality, and the silencing of voice. 
     
     
     
    Issues of fathers and daughters reach to the intra-psychic depths and archetypal roots, to issues of self and culture, both personal and collective. Susan E. Schwartz illustrates the maladies and disappointments of daughters who lack a father figure and incorporates clinical examples describing how daughters can break out of idealizations, betrayals, abandonments, and losses to move towards repair and renewal. The book takes an interdisciplinary approach, expanding and elucidating Jungian concepts through dreams, personal stories, fairy tales, and the poetry of Sylvia Plath, along with psychoanalytic theory, including Andre Green's 'dead father effect' and Julia Kristeva's theories on women and the body as abject. 
     
     
     
    Examining daughters both personally and collectively affected by the lack of a father, this book is highly relevant for those wanting to understand the complex dynamics of daughters and fathers to become their authentic selves.
