Synopsis

"Survival Psychology" presents a groundbreaking exploration of how the human mind functions during life-threatening situations, offering evidence-based strategies for developing psychological resilience. The book uniquely combines decades of research from cognitive psychology, military training, and real-world survival cases to demonstrate that mental preparation often matters more than physical readiness in determining survival outcomes. Through its examination of successful and failed survival scenarios, the book reveals how psychological responses directly influence our ability to overcome extreme challenges.

 
The content is strategically organized into three main sections, progressing from fundamental concepts to practical applications. Beginning with an analysis of how stress impacts decision-making and performance, the book then delves into specific psychological tools for maintaining mental clarity under pressure. The final section focuses on building long-term resilience, making these survival principles applicable to everyday life.

 
What sets this work apart is its comprehensive integration of multiple disciplines, including neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and trauma research, presenting complex concepts through accessible case studies and practical exercises. Drawing from extensive field data and military training evolution, the book establishes three core pillars: cognitive preparation, emotional regulation, and behavioral adaptation. This framework provides readers - whether outdoor enthusiasts, emergency responders, or individuals seeking to build mental toughness - with actionable strategies for handling both acute survival situations and chronic stress. By connecting psychological principles with real-world applications, the book offers a balanced approach that bridges the gap between academic understanding and practical survival skills.

The Secret History

Procopius

Procopius appeared to be a loyal part of the Byzantine establishment, his official writing glorifying the deeds of the Emperor Justinian (d. AD 565). However, he also produced a work that he knew could never be published within the Emperor’s lifetime: The Secret History, a vitriolic indictment of the rule of Justinian and his wife Theodora.In The Secret History, the general Belisarius is presented as an idiot who is manipulated by his conniving wife Antonina, while the Emperor is depicted as a demon king, a dishonest and autocratic destroyer of established institutions. The Empress Theodora doesn’t escape Procopius’ invective – she is portrayed as the antithesis of the traditional Roman matron: depraved, brutal and bloodthirsty.

Omar Khayyám

Richard le Gallienne was an English poet and critic, who, although unfamiliar with the Persian language, had a profound interest in the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.

A expanded edition, containing fifty additional quatrains was published in 1901, and this has been used for the present recording. (Summary by Algy Pug)

Ah This! - Talks on Zen

Osho

If you are interested in knowing how to take an inner journey, how to find your soul - read on!
In these talks, Osho introduces his audience to Zen, with its emphasis on being alert and attentive to the simplest acts of ordinary life as a way to experience meditation. Zen stories serve as starting points for several talks in the series, illuminating the nature of that rare human capacity to transcend the limits of the rational mind.
As often happens with Osho, the talks oscillate between commentaries on selected texts, in this case some beautiful anecdotes from the world of Zen, and questions from disciples and other seekers. And, as always, Osho's interest is not scholarly at all but existential: how to point us toward the "Beyondness" from which he speaks.
Although Zen tradition was certainly the one closest to his heart, Osho was independent of all traditions. In fact during the last year of his life, he talked exclusively about Zen, albeit a more relaxed, humorous form than the traditional rather rigid and disciplined monastic version.
Osho always emphasized that the real important thing was not what he was saying but the gaps, the profound silence between the words, and that one should listen to him like to the wind playing with the leaves, or like listening to music.
In this series you will come across a wide spectrum of views and questions related to the human search for higher dimensions of life. And it's certainly a beautiful finger pointing to the moon of truth beyond words and concepts. He takes us into a space from which the existential jump to meditation can happen. The moment when the eternal perfection opens up, the moment all you can say is, "Ah this!"
