  The Farmer’s Code takes you on a hero’s journey of self-development. It follows a path of transformation and growth to help you become your true, highest self. This journey will lead to a greater understanding of the self and a deeper connection to one’s own values and core principles, which paves the way for a long-lasting legacy.  Legacies provide a roadmap for future generations, showing those who follow your footsteps what is possible as they strive to reach their full potential. Filled with personal stories of the struggles and triumphs of one American farming family, the Code shows how legacies are about more than just personal fulfillment. They can have a profound impact on the lives of others by serving as a guiding light to those who are seeking a better way to live. Just as airline passengers are instructed to see to their own oxygen masks first in the event of an emergency before helping others, legacy building has to start with the self. When you are safe, secure, and strong, you are in a much better position to turn outward to help others. It is then that you can help address societal challenges, advance knowledge and innovation, promote social change, or support the important causes you see in your community.  The Farmer’s Code should spark aspirations, ignite passion, and encourage everyone to strive for greatness. By considering the lasting impact you can make, you will be able to live more purposefully and leave a more positive imprint on the world.

  Consciousness - How Our Brains...

  John Parrington

  What is the material basis of the thoughts that occur inside our heads? 
   
  Where do imaginative, creative, or spiritual thoughts come from - can these really be the product of nerve impulses in the brain? And is the human mind radically different from that of other species, or is our uniqueness more superficial than real? 
   
  In this audiobook, Oxford biologist John Parrington proposes a radical new theory of human consciousness, arguing that a qualitative leap in consciousness occurred during human evolution as language and tool use transformed our brains. Rejecting outdated views of the brain as a hard-wired circuit diagram, he draws on the latest insights from neuroscience to show that meaning is created within our heads through a dynamic interaction of oscillating brain waves. 
   
  This new model of consciousness not only provides a material basis of our innermost thoughts but also explains why the mind can sometimes go wrong, causing deep mental distress.

  The Shocking Truth about Mental...

  Mental health care has long been shrouded in misconception and stigma. Despite growing awareness, many people still harbor deep misunderstandings about mental health treatments. For decades, the public’s view of mental health has been influenced by outdated notions and portrayals in media that often fail to reflect the true complexity of mental health care. As society advances, the need to challenge these outdated perceptions becomes more urgent, especially given the rising rates of mental health issues worldwide. 
    
  At its core, mental health treatment is a deeply personal journey, one that requires careful consideration, access to the right resources, and ongoing support. However, despite the best efforts of many professionals, the landscape of mental health care is far from perfect. The reality is that treatments often come with hidden pitfalls—cost barriers, lack of regulation, and the dominance of pharmaceutical companies with their own financial interests. These challenges only deepen the complexity of the mental health crisis, making it harder for individuals to get the care they truly need. 
    
  The pharmaceutical industry plays a central role in shaping the narrative around mental health treatment. Psychiatric medications are often the first line of defense against mental health disorders, but the promise of quick fixes is not always the reality. Many individuals find themselves struggling with side effects, dependency, and the question of whether these drugs are providing long-term solutions. On the other hand, psychotherapy, while frequently effective, is often portrayed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite its varying success rates depending on the individual and their specific condition. Add to this the growing rise of alternative and holistic treatments, which are often hailed as miracles but can lack sufficient scientific backing, and the situation becomes even more confusing.
