    LIFELONG LEARNER'S PERSONAL...

    What if the quiet voice whispering "you're too old to start now" is the only thing truly holding you back?
 
The Lifelong Learner's Personal Development Handbook is a transformative guide for adults at any age who refuse to let their curiosity gather dust. Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience, developmental psychology, and the wisdom of a dozen real people—from a 38-year-old physician learning to code alongside her daughter to a 79-year-old engineer who picked up the harmonica after a terminal diagnosis—this book dismantles the myth that our capacity for growth has an expiration date.
 
Inside, you will discover how to rewire your brain for deeper learning and sharper focus, even in an age of constant digital distraction. You will learn to navigate the "midlife unraveling" with clarity, turning restlessness and setbacks into a foundation for renewed purpose. You will explore the quiet power of generativity—the art of mentoring without meddling and building a legacy that extends beyond your own years. And you will be invited to embrace a fluid, deeply personal spirituality that finds the sacred in the ordinary moments of daily life.
 
Whether you are 30 and sensing the limits of the first mountain, 50 and standing in the valley between who you were and who you are becoming, or 70 and wondering what comes next, this handbook offers a practical, humane, and scientifically grounded roadmap. It is not a promise of eternal youth, but an invitation to a richer, wiser, and more curious way of living. The syllabus of your life is unfinished. That is not a problem to solve; it is the very shape of a life well lived.

    From TikTok and Fortnite to Grindr and Facebook, Aynne Kokas delivers an urgent look into the technology firms that gather our data, and how the Chinese government is capitalizing on this data flow for political gain. 
 
 
 
In Trafficking Data, Aynne Kokas looks at how technology firms in the two largest economies in the world, the United States and China, have exploited government policy (and the lack thereof) to gather information on citizens, putting US national security at risk. Kokas argues that US government leadership failures, Silicon Valley's disruption fetish, and Wall Street's addiction to growth have fueled China's technological goldrush. In turn, American complacency yields an unprecedented opportunity for Chinese firms to gather data in the United States and quietly send it back to China, and by extension, to the Chinese government. Drawing on years of fieldwork in the US and China and a large trove of corporate and policy documents, Trafficking Data explains how China is fast becoming the global leader in internet governance and policy, and thus of the data that defines our public and private lives.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
What if the final moments of life reveal humanity's greatest mystery? Journey through extraordinary documented cases of deathbed visions that challenge everything we think we know about death and dying. From Steve Jobs's profound final words "Oh wow" to scientifically documented encounters with deceased loved ones, this compelling exploration examines end-of-life experiences that transcend cultural, religious, and medical boundaries. Drawing from the groundbreaking Osis-Haraldsson study of over 50,000 dying patients, discover how hospice workers, doctors, and researchers have documented remarkably consistent patterns in deathbed visions across the globe. These aren't random hallucinations or medication-induced fantasies—they're coherent, meaningful encounters that bring profound peace to the dying and challenge our understanding of consciousness itself. Witness accounts of patients who see deceased relatives they've never met, describe burial clothes they never saw, and experience transformative visions that replace fear with wonder. Medical professionals share their most compelling cases, from children who meet grandparents who died before they were born to skeptics whose final moments reveal unexpected spiritual dimensions. Through careful scientific analysis and deeply moving personal stories, explore how these near-death phenomena offer comfort to grieving families and potentially revolutionary insights into human consciousness. Whether you're facing your own mortality, supporting a loved one through their final journey, or simply curious about life's greatest mystery, these true accounts provide both scientific rigor and profound emotional healing about what may await us all.

    Redefine the expectations for women in leadership roles with this #1 New York Times bestselling volume of inspiring advice by the former communications director for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Framed as an empowering letter from former Hillary Clinton Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri to the first woman president, and by extension, to all women working to succeed in any field, Dear Madam President is filled with forward-thinking, practical advice for all women who are determined to seize control of their lives-from boardroom to living room. As a country, we haven't wrapped our heads around what it should look like for a woman to be in the job of President. Our only models are men. While wildly disappointed by the outcome of the 2016 election, Palmieri argues that our feelings-confusion, love, hate, acceptance-can now open the country up to reimagining women in leadership roles. And that is what Palmieri takes on in this book-redefining expectations for women looking to lead and creating a blueprint for women candidates and leaders to follow. Dear Madam President will turn the results of the 2016 election into something incredibly empowering for graduates, future female leaders, and independent thinkers everywhere.
