  This audiobook narrated by John Telfer introduces listeners to Jung's groundbreaking ideas about synchronicity
  
  C. G. Jung was intrigued from early in his career with coincidences, especially those surprising juxtapositions that scientific rationality could not adequately explain. He discussed these ideas with Albert Einstein before World War I but first used the term "synchronicity" in a 1930 lecture, in reference to the unusual psychological insights generated from consulting the I Ching. A long correspondence and friendship with the Nobel Prize–winning physicist Wolfgang Pauli stimulated a final, mature statement of Jung's thinking on synchronicity, originally published in 1952 and reproduced here. Together with a wealth of historical and contemporary material, this essay describes an astrological experiment Jung conducted to test his theory. Synchronicity reveals the full extent of Jung's research into a wide range of psychic phenomena.

  A vigorous and timely defense of the state as a force for good 
  For decades now wealth and power have been shifting from states to markets. This experiment has been a failure for all but a privileged few. But this trend is beginning to reverse, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has seen the state play the most direct and positive role in citizens’ everyday lives in living memory. 
  Graeme Garrard makes a powerful case for the state as our only realistic hope of countering the rising power of multinational corporations, organized crime, and international organizations that will always put their own interests first. Today, the state is essential to the health and welfare of everyone except the rich and powerful. Yet it is being rolled back and whittled away, leaving the well-being of most of us at the mercy of unaccountable private powers that are increasingly free from external control. As Garrard shows, the state is the only realistic way of promoting the public good in our time.

  Shattered and Becoming: A Teacher’s Journey Between Policy and Purpose reveals the experience of working inside a system where policies, leadership decisions, and organizational cultures clash with the real needs of the people meant to be served and those providing the support. 
  Through a story of classroom life, inclusion, advocacy, leadership, and personal growth, this memoir explores what happens when a teacher’s purpose is tested by stress, institutional barriers, and the pressure to comply. As he navigates early childhood education, special education, school leadership, and the fight for meaningful inclusion, Dr. Goff reveals how the very experiences that break us can also open the way for growth, clarity, and becoming. 
  Perfect for listeners interested in leadership, inclusion, advocacy, personal growth, and system reform, Shattered and Becoming offers an honest look at the emotional realities of teaching and the courage it takes to hold onto purpose when the system loses its way.

  A new model of executive functioning which illuminates the somatic, social, and emotional influences on how we make decisions. 
   
  Executive functioning (EF) can be defined as a person's ability to successfully navigate their physical, intellectual, and social worlds. Interest in EF is expanding within psychotherapy, but like many scientific concepts which are adapted to the consulting room, there is a great deal of confusion and misinformation surrounding EF within clinical and lay communities. 
   
  In this book, Louis Cozolino—a master of translating complex neuroscientific concepts into digestible, applicable literature for therapists and laypeople alike—is joined by experts Chloe Drulis and Carly Trissler to illuminate how our brains and minds successfully navigate the challenges of day—to—day life. The book offers a new, neurodynamic model of EF that explains the three main executive systems in the brain and the specific ways that they influence how we think, focus, and solve problems. This neurobiological framework highlights the interconnectedness of cognition, emotion, and relationships, providing readers with a deeper understanding of how humans function and strategies to improve outcomes in therapy, parenting, executive coaching, and personal development.
