Sinopsis

"Nordic Life Balance" explores the intriguing question of why Nordic countries consistently rank high in happiness and productivity. Moving beyond simple admiration, the book examines the policies, cultural norms, and strategies contributing to the Nordic region's enviable work-life balance. It argues that this equilibrium is not accidental, but a result of deliberate policy choices and deeply embedded social values. The book delves into how flexible work arrangements, robust social support systems, and a culture of equality have shaped societal expectations and individual experiences. For instance, generous parental leave policies in Nordic nations allow parents to balance career and family. The book progresses through three main sections, beginning with an examination of government policies and social institutions. It then explores cultural norms and values, drawing on ethnographic research, before analyzing specific workplace practices. Through sociological studies, demographic data, and interviews, the book reveals that prioritizing individual well-being alongside economic prosperity is key. The book also acknowledges challenges and limitations of the Nordic model, offering practical recommendations for adapting its principles elsewhere. The Nordic model emphasizes employee well-being and social policies leading to greater equality.

    Billions of years ago, the universe came into existence with a "Big Bang." The creation of the universe is the single paramount event from which all other events precipitate, and why it happened is the greatest mystery we have ever known. 
    On the tiniest of scales, the cosmos reveals to us a universe filled with quanta particles; and on the largest, a universe of planets, stars, galaxies, and life. The expanse is endless. Are we then to believe ourselves alone in the vastness of creation, or to solely occupy the crown of it? 
    In 1975, Corky Ra, an administrative manager for a large supply company, began to experience a series of encounters with advanced beings. His first reactions of shock and disbelief led him to a period of seclusion, yet the "visits" continued, leading him to an awakening. Ra realized it was the purpose of these beings to re-introduce, in a pure form, principles of nature that have always existed and address all issues of existence, sexuality, and death. 
    SUMMUM: Sealed Except to the Open Mind is about existence in its broadest context and delves into the forces behind cosmic rhythms and change. Most importantly, it describes a meditation for developing a personal relationship with the essence of nature. 
    This is the second edition of a work first published in 1988. Make this audiobook your companion and venture to get a glimpse of the inner workings of Creation.

    There are many ways to fall down the rabbit-hole – and it may be far easier than you realise.
    Research analyst Aoife Gallagher has spent years investigating the darkest corners of the internet, but what happens when the online world spills into real life? Web of Lies is a fascinating deep dive into the rising threat of conspiratorial thought in Ireland and internationally, and explores how the internet is being used to spread disinformation – polarising society and radicalising people into extremism in the process.
    With balance and fairness, Gallagher connects the worldʼs oldest hatreds to current online cultures, showing how conspiratorial thinking can proliferate during times of crisis and how to recognise its most harmful impacts. Web of Lies is an urgent, provocative but ultimately hopeful call to protect ourselves and our loved ones, before itʼs too late . . . …
    'Ever wondered how good people get trapped in their worst nightmares? Web of Lies is an unforgettable journey through the upside-down world of conspiratorial thinking. Aoife Gallagher has written the definitive account of how global lies have changed Irish lives, in a book full of personal empathy, unrivalled expertise and captivating storytelling. It shines a light on the real-world harm of our darkest online fantasies and it shows how each of us can fight back.' Mark Little
    'At a time of fractious discord in discourse, Gallagher provides a vital context to and education in the strange and alarming world of conspiracy theories. Anyone interested in truth and facts should read this book.' Una Mullally
    'Aoife Gallagher can plumb the depths of the internet and come up to the surface to explain what she's found with levity, empathy and humour. Wise without lecturing; sharp but always maintaining compassion for those caught up in misinformation. A fantastic global overview of trends while having one eye on how these things have come to Ireland.' Brianna Parkins

    Mapuche Empire - The Defenders...

    The origins of the Mapuche people trace back thousands of years, long before the arrival of Europeans in South America. They are one of the most resilient and enduring indigenous groups in the region, with a deep-rooted history in present-day Chile and Argentina. Archaeological evidence suggests that their ancestors inhabited these lands for at least 2,000 years, developing a distinct culture shaped by the diverse landscapes of the Andean foothills, valleys, and coastal regions. 
    The name "Mapuche" itself reflects their strong connection to the land, as it derives from "mapu" (earth) and "che" (people), meaning "people of the land." This bond influenced their way of life, from agriculture to spiritual beliefs. They cultivated maize, potatoes, quinoa, and beans while also engaging in hunting, fishing, and gathering. Unlike some of the great civilizations of South America, such as the Inca or the Maya, the Mapuche did not build massive stone cities. Instead, they lived in small, scattered settlements made up of rucas, traditional thatched-roof houses constructed from wood and straw, designed to withstand the varied climate of their territories. 
    Language played a crucial role in shaping the Mapuche identity. They spoke Mapudungun, a unique language that remains central to their culture today. Unlike the Quechua language of the Andes, which spread widely due to the influence of the Inca Empire, Mapudungun remained relatively isolated, preserving its distinct linguistic structure. Oral tradition was the primary means of passing down knowledge, with elders recounting stories, myths, and historical events that shaped the collective memory of the Mapuche people.

    Out of the more than seven billion people who inhabit the earth, no two are exactly the same. Even tweens have differences. And yet, the behavior of human beings can be reduced to a few archetypes. At the heart of the matter, each human being is one single entity comprised of a mind and a physical body. A mind that yearns for happiness and a body that longs for sustenance. The interplay of these two needs creates the different archetypes of humans. This book explores a few of the archetypes. It discusses how the ideas around archetypes converge to offer a new perspective on fundamental questions that existentialists have been grappling with for ages. The people described in the second chapter of the book are entirely fictitious. Any resemblance of their names to real people is purely coincidental. However, the characters are real and live among us. You may recognize some of them in your local community, your network of friends, or even in other human networks to which you are directly or indirectly connected.

  • How I Found the Lost Atlantis! by Dr Paul Schliemann - narrated by Michael Henrik Wynn - cover

    How I Found the Lost Atlantis!...

    The article on which this audio book is based was published in the 'New York American' on October 20th, 1912.  
    The author, Dr. Paul Schliemann, was the grandson of Heinrich Schliemann (1822 - 1890), a founder of modern archaeology. In this famous archaeological hoax he makes outrageous and sensational claims about the lost continent Atlantis, and his grandfather’s research.  
    The text was written in an age when many of the Victorian adventure writers, like H. Rider Haggard in Britain, Emilio Salgari in Italy and Karl May in Germany topped reading lists. In 1912, the jungle calls of Tarzan echoed through American pulp magazines for the very first time.  
    Paul Schliemann capitalizes on the contemporary craze for his grandfather’s archaeological discoveries, for lost worlds and legendary characters like the queen of Sheba and Prester John. Since 1907, Howard Carter had been excavating in Egypt, and in 1922 Carter made his historical discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun. 
    Paul Schliemann’s article is highly entertaining, and features passages reminiscent of Indiana Jones. Michael Henrik Wynn, the editor of the educational net radio stream Historyradio.org, gives a spirited performance of what has become a classic and much loved hoax in archaeological circles.
