  In this 2024 conversation with Travis Glen Sebera, Coleman suggests that we take our meditation practice outdoors. This can move us from an interior-focused self-referential world to one of connecting with the living web that is our ecosystem. After traveling to India and spending many years experiencing the contemplative tradition, Coleman discovered that meditation in nature reconnects us with the world around us, enhancing the spaciousness of our awareness. He often asked his students: How does the Earth wish to move through you? How is the earth moving through you? And, as you are a part of the Earth, what is an effective way to live your life that's an expression of care for the Earth, which is yourself? He acknowledges that there is much competition for our attention and suggests that going outside moves us from a self-referential world to one of being part of the living web that is the ecosystem. 
  Mark Coleman’s books include:Awake in the Wild: Mindfulness in Nature as a Path of Self-Discovery (New World Library 2006)Make Peace with Your Mind: How Mindfulness and Compassion Can Free You from Your Inner Critic (New World Library 2016)From Suffering to Peace: The True Promise of Mindfulness (New World Library 2019)A Field Guide to Nature Meditation: 52 Mindfulness Practices for Joy, Wisdom and Wonder (Awake in the Wild 2022)

  A lively and engaging account of one human's relationship with a remarkable and charming orphaned beaver kit.On May 10, 2020, an orphaned beaver kit was found in St. Albans, Vermont and handed over to John Aberth, a licensed volunteer wildlife rehabilitator. Over the next two years, John raised the kit, whom he nicknamed "BK," and prepared him for release back into the wild. During that time, John and BK developed a special and unique bond, which John documented in a daily diary. That diary became the basis for Bringing Up Beaver, a lively and engaging account of one human's relationship with a wild animal.Bringing Up Beaver is more than just a feel-good story about human encounters with nature. Full of fascinating observations about beaver behavior and biology, Bringing Up Beaver also documents the unique challenges and obstacles to be faced and overcome in rehabbing a wild beaver kit. Populating the story are plenty of other wild creatures that John encountered in the course of his rehab, including other beavers—one of whom became BK's mate—as well as hawks, owls, mink, and weasels. For anyone who has been charmed by a beaver's smile or enjoyed books like Fox and I and Eager, Bringing Up Beaver is a must-listen that will give us a new perspective on the wildlife and nature that exists all around us.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  Expose the invisible structures, algorithms, and institutional mechanisms that shape your choices, opportunities, and life trajectory without your awareness or consent. This revealing audiobook examines how credit scores, recommendation algorithms, insurance calculations, and bureaucratic classifications determine more about your life than personal decisions ever could. Learn how systems designed for efficiency create outcomes no one intended while remaining invisible to those affected by their judgments. The narrator reveals the inner workings of systems that decide what information you see, what opportunities you receive, what prices you pay, and how institutions treat you based on data you never knew was collected. Discover how systemic biases embedded in algorithmic decision-making perpetuate discrimination while appearing objective and neutral. Understand why individual effort cannot overcome systemic obstacles that most people do not even recognize as structural rather than personal failures. This audiobook draws from technology researchers, sociologists, and investigative journalists exposing how systems consolidate power while preventing accountability. Learn to identify systemic influences on your life and develop strategies for navigating systems designed without your interests in mind. Essential listening for anyone wanting to understand why life outcomes often seem disconnected from effort and merit, and what forces actually determine success in modern society.
