The Year the World Went Mad

Mark Woolhouse

In January 2020, leading epidemiologist Professor Mark Woolhouse learned of a new virus taking hold in China. He immediately foresaw a hard road ahead for the entire world, and emailed the Chief Medical Officer of Scotland warning that the UK should urgently begin preparations. A few days later he received a polite reply stating only that everything was under control.

In this astonishing account, Mark Woolhouse shares his story as an insider, having served on advisory groups to both the Scottish and UK governments. He reveals the disregarded advice, frustration of dealing with politicians, and the missteps that led to the deaths of vulnerable people, damage to livelihoods and the disruption of education. He explains the follies of lockdown and sets out the alternatives. Finally, he warns that when the next pandemic comes, we must not dither and we must not panic; never again should we make a global crisis even worse.

The Year the World Went Mad puts our recent, devastating, history in a completely new light.

Rejection: From Fear to Fuel -...

Mael Duin

In the intricate tapestry of human emotions, few threads are as pervasive and powerful as the fear of rejection. "Rejected" explores how this primal fear shapes men's lives, relationships, and identities – often without their conscious awareness. Drawing on Robert Moore's archetypal framework, this groundbreaking audiobook reveals how the four masculine archetypes – King, Warrior, Magician, and Lover – offer complementary pathways to transform rejection from a devastating blow into a catalyst for growth. Each archetype brings unique strengths: the King's inner sovereignty that transcends external validation; the Warrior's disciplined action that converts setback into forward momentum; the Magician's transformative perspective that extracts wisdom from painful experience; and the Lover's capacity to remain open-hearted despite vulnerability. Through practical exercises, real-world applications, and powerful personal stories, listeners will discover how integrating these archetypes creates not just resilience, but true antifragility – becoming STRONGER because of rejection rather than despite it. This isn't about eliminating the fear of rejection – it's about developing a relationship with fear that empowers rather than inhibits. For any man who has ever held back from pursuing dreams, expressing his authentic self, or forming meaningful connections due to rejection fear, this audiobook offers a transformative path forward.

From Penal Colony to Paper...

Ylia Callan

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
From its very beginnings as a penal colony, Australia's justice system was designed not for fairness, but for control. From Penal Colony to Paper Justice investigates how this history continues to shape modern courts, laws, and policing. 
This hard-hitting exposé explores: 
The colonial foundations of punishment and control. 
How British legal traditions still dominate an "independent" nation. 
The role of judges, police, and public servants in maintaining the system. 
Real-world cases that reveal systemic injustice. 
The cost to ordinary citizens - financial, social and personal. 
Practical solutions for a fairer, more transparent legal system. 
Blending history, analysis, and shocking examples, this book challenges the illusion of equality before the law. It shows how justice often functions as "paper justice" - words and procedures that protect power while leaving ordinary people vulnerable. 
Engaging, uncompromising, and thought-provoking, this audiobook is for anyone who wants to understand the truth behind Australia’s justice system - and what must change for it to finally deliver justice for all.
