  This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No.99 by M. O’C. Walshe, "The Middle Way and other essays" found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. IV. 
   
  Excerpt: 
  "It is always a good idea to seek the middle way, or the golden mean, between extremes whether in politics, in one’s personal view and behaviour, or in fact in any walk of life. The difficulty arises when we attempt to discover what, in practice, is the middle way. It is not, as some appear to suppose, the mid-point between truth and falsehood, or between right and wrong! In fact the middle way itself is true, and is right: the difficulty lies merely in finding it. Here are some examples: it is the mean between (as the Buddha said) self-indulgence and self-mortification, or (the same thing as applied to other persons and animals) between pampering and cruelty. 
   
  "The middle way, even at a fairly modest, mundane level, is not very popular in the world today. Probably it never was. But in these restless times it is perhaps especially needed, and at the same time especially hard to achieve. It is fatally easy to indulge in nostalgia, to conjure up a false and idealised picture of earlier times which in fact, whatever period of history we may envisage, all had their grave disadvantages of one kind or another. All the same, until recent times it may be said that, in general, life usually had a kind of placidity that has now been lost, and which is hard to recapture, except in the atmosphere of some temple, church, meditation centre or the like. This, however, may simply mean that in earlier times the tendency towards sloth and indolence was, on the whole, greater than that towards worry and flurry."

  Note: This audiobook is included (for free) inside its respective print and e-book versions. 
  Every person experiences emotions; it’s one of the most natural aspects of everyone’s life. Unfortunately, not everyone is capable of dealing with these intense feelings effectively. And, when you’ve been raised by emotionally immature parents who don’t allow you to be an individual who can express their feelings, you will be set up for failed (and sometimes even abusive) relationships in the future. 
  As children, our number one role models are our parents; we give them unconditional trust to guide us through the world. But when the trust is broken, and their behavior and temperament toward us are less than ideal, we can develop coping mechanisms in a bid to shield ourselves from the hurt. If your parent starved you emotionally, then you have a pretty clear picture of what this means – but it doesn't have to remain this way. 
  In her original, clinical psychologist Dr. Lindsay Gibson discusses this phenomenon, the effect that the poor emotional development of parents can have on their children’s lives, and practical steps you can take to break free from this cycle. 
  This workbook offers an immersive experience that combines summaries, key takeaways, insights, exercises, prompts, thought-provoking questions, and guided reflections to bridge the gap between the book's teachings and your life. You will embark on thorough shadow work guided by the wisdom of Lindsay C. Gibson, but there's only one rule – don't be afraid to dig deep and feel. Facing the resurfacing emotions of your past may be uncomfortable, to say the least, but it is an essential part of the process. 
  Disclaimer: This is an unofficial, third-party, plagiarism-free workbook for Lindsay C. Gibson's book: Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents. Please note that this is NOT the original book.

  Imagine a superpower at the peak of its strength, yet rotting from within. The Roman Republic, having conquered the known world, now faces an enemy it cannot defeat: itself. This is the story of the pivotal decades when victory abroad bred chaos at home, and the ancient rules of politics were shattered forever. It is a masterclass in how civilizations unravel.
   
  
   
  This definitive narrative chronicles the critical era from the destruction of Carthage to the rise of the first warlords. It explores the systemic failures that doomed the Republic: the corrosive wealth gap, the bloody battles over citizenship and rights, and the political gangs that turned the Forum into a battlefield. The audiobook meticulously traces how economic shock, institutional corruption, and naked ambition created a perfect storm.
   
  
   
  Listeners will experience the relentless tension of a state in slow-motion collapse. You will gain a profound understanding of political decay, the dynamics of populism versus the oligarchy, and the fatal consequences of a constitution unable to adapt. This is not just ancient history; it is a timeless case study in the fragility of republican systems under stress from within.
   
  
   
  Join acclaimed historian and narrator Ibnul Jaif Farabi for an immersive journey into the dramatic last act of Rome's free state. Witness the warning signs written in marble and blood, and discover the echoes that resonate through the centuries.
