Rise of the Zombie Bugs - The...

Mindy Weisberger

Zombies are all around us—insect zombies, that is. Zombifying parasites reproduce by rewriting their victims' neurochemistry, transforming them into the "walking dead": armies of cicadas, spiders, and other hosts that helplessly follow a zombifier's commands, living only to serve the parasite's needs until death's sweet release (and often beyond). 
 
 
 
With vivid description, Mindy Weisberger explains the sinister mechanics of nature's most cunning survival strategies, including the biological marvels and evolutionary intricacies behind zombie ants, mind-controlled beetles, and the fungi and viruses that reprogram their hosts' behavior. Blending scientific rigor with a flair for the macabre, Weisberger takes listeners on a global journey to uncover the dark secrets of parasitic manipulation. 
 
 
 
Her examination of these creatures seeks to answer fundamental questions of their existence: why is a bug's world full of zombies, why are arthropods so susceptible to this zombification, and could the creators of zombie bugs ever evolve to do the same to people? Perfect for fans of horror and science alike, Rise of the Zombie Bugs offers a chilling yet enlightening look at the hidden world of parasites. It's a must-listen for anyone curious about the true terrors lurking in nature's undergrowth and the unnerving beauty of evolution's darker side.

The Book of Fear

Billy Pedro

As human, our thought processes, actions and reactions, outcomes and the psychological effects of our fear experiences influence our beliefs, lifestyles and other factors. These life changing experiences and factors determine our behaviour in communication and interaction with our environment, whether logial or illogical. As we grow, learn and develop our own environment, we choose to avoid, confront, ignore or learn to live with our fears. The most intriguing part of it is that we voluntarily believe that our fear is a major problem and a hindrance to us making our goals attainable. We become completely powerful when we are able to put our fear reactions in context, reflect on our reactions which are birthed from situations of perceived fear, and dissect the often unrecognised counter-reactions that make our situation affect our actions.

Euthydemus - Logic Language and...

Plato, Tim Zengerink

What if the cleverest arguments were the most meaningless? 
In Euthydemus, Plato unleashes his sharpest satire on the world of sophistry. When Socrates meets two cunning rhetoricians, Euthydemus and Dionysodorus, a lesson on virtue quickly devolves into a whirlwind of verbal traps, circular logic, and baffling contradictions. Their aim? To appear wise—even if they say nothing at all. 
This modern audiobook translation delivers Plato’s humor, irony, and insight with clarity and flair. Ideal for listeners curious about logic, language, and the fine line between cleverness and wisdom. 
What you'll discover inside: 
•	A comical, cautionary tale about the abuse of language and reasoning 
•	The most absurd (and enlightening) philosophical dialogue ever written 
•	Socrates’ cool-headed navigation through nonsense and noise 
•	A fresh translation that brings Plato’s wit vividly to life 
If you've ever argued just to win—or lost to someone who did—Euthydemus will both entertain and educate.

Narcissistic Women The Concrete...

Caroline Foster

Did the girl of your dreams turn into your worst nightmare? Recognize the signs of a narcissistic partner and learn what you can do today!
Get your copy of Narcissistic Women and discover how to:Spot a narcissistic woman before starting a relationship with her.Recognize a narcissistic wife, manage the divorce, and navigate co-parenting.Protect your children from parental alienation.Recognize financial abuse and recover from it.Heal from codependency and narcissistic abuse syndrome.Break old toxic relationship patterns and learn to appreciate healthy, empathetic, balanced adult women.
...and much more.
It can be extremely difficult for men to recognize and admit when a woman has abused them. This is due to a cultural stigma: in our society, admitting abuse is considered shameful for men.
Therefore, when experiencing an abusive relationship, men face an additional obstacle - lack of understanding and resources. Since the mental health industry is hyper-feminized, men are often left alone with their problems, feeling like they have no way out. Their suffering is often neither acknowledged nor addressed.
Prior to this book's publication, male victims of narcissistic women didn't receive the recognition they deserved, and the issue of female narcissists was regularly downplayed.
If you're an empathetic man suffering from narcissistic abuse, it can be especially hard to seek and obtain help due to social stigma.
Caroline Foster wrote this book to help you escape your toxic relationship, begin healing, and regain control of your life - so you can find your true soulmate.Ready to turn a new page in your life story? Start listening now!
