  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  Unravel the mysterious patterns governing human civilization across millennia. This mind-expanding journey explores how historical events repeat in predictable cycles that seem impossible to break. From information revolutions to civilizational collapse, discover why humanity seems trapped in eternal loops of rise and fall. Learn from ancient philosophers who understood eternal return, modern historians who identified patterns in twenty-one civilizations, and consciousness researchers exploring how awareness itself might be cyclical. Discover the Library of Alexandria burning then and burning now through digital fragmentation. Understand Arnold Toynbee's creative minorities, Nietzsche's eternal return, and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's noosphere. This exploration suggests we're not doomed to repetition but invited to consciously participate in evolution's next phase through awareness of the patterns themselves.

  • 0

  A study of Islamic fundamentalism, its violent and deadly history, and the questions it raises today. This book examines the relationship between jihad and genocide, past and present. Richard L. Rubenstein takes a close look at the violent interpretations of jihad and how they have played out in the past hundred years, from the Armenian genocide through current threats to Israel. Rubenstein’s unflinching study of the potential for fundamentalist jihad to initiate targeted violence raises pressing questions in a time when questions of religious co-existence, particularly in the Middle East, are discussed urgently each day. Praise for Jihad and Genocide“Provocative, important reading for all interested in Arab-Israeli peace and religious coexistence worldwide. Highly recommended.” —Choice Reviews“Rubenstein’s analysis stands the test of time. Thus, attention must be paid to Rubenstein's new work, Jihad and Genocide, which offers a searing analysis of Islamic thought and bleak predictions of its impact. Even those of us who do not share his pessimism, his sense of the inevitability of the path to genocide and war, or his predilection for the political right, must confront the issues he raises.” —Foreword Reviews

  Essays, stories, and guidance for maintaining courage and integrity in the second half of life, from bestselling author and Jungian psychoanalyst Dr. James HollisOften, we’re told that aging must be avoided and delayed, denying its inevitability and therefore its wisdom. In this book, beloved author and teacher James Hollis embraces the perils and the wonders of stepping into one’s autumnal days. Hollis invites us to ask fundamental questions about life, agency, grace, and forgiveness through the lens of maturation. “Every choice made, not made, brings about consequences,” writes Hollis, “and the widening ripples of each intersect influence us, and alter the texture of our hours, whether we know it or not.” Autumnal Days guides us through not only the importance of this recognition, but also the necessity of acceptance and compassion in the face of life’s many shortcomings. Through essays and questions for reflection, Hollis teaches us to meet regret as a compass for moral action, to make creativity a fundamental principle for life, to discern beauty everywhere and amidst everything, and to maintain ownership of our souls. Filled with stories, myths, philosophies, Jungian analysis, and Hollis’s charming voice, Autumnal Days reminds us that the world is a vast canvas and we fill it with energetic scenarios that drive our souls, paint it, enact it, and populate it.

  We often feel leaders must be detached and aloof, but Sasha Chanoff explains how he became a better leader--and saved lives--when he chose empathy and altruism. Through his extraordinary story and the stories of other brave leaders, Sasha inspires all leaders to be guided by their deepest moral values. 
   
   
  We may never know when or where our calling as leaders will be revealed and put to the test. The decisions we make when faced with a crisis may shape our purpose for the rest of our lives. Sasha Chanoff here expands on his own story, first recounted on The Moth podcast as "An Impossible Choice." Charged with evacuating a specific number of refugees, Sasha and his colleague find a group of widows and orphans not on the rescue list. Leaving them behind will mean their death. But attempting to take them will jeopardize the lives of all those on the list. 
   
  Sasha and David have gathered other stories of crisis and decision, and have drawn out six principles for confronting critical decisions. They reveal the opportunities present in the hardest decisions. From Crisis to Calling is about recognizing your moral center, acting on it, and using it to shape and guide your life and the life of your organization. It's about how preparing for hard decisions can transform you into an inspiring, trusted and ethical leader. It celebrates the power of altruism, which is too often unappreciated in the leadership toolkit.
