    Stoicism: A Guide in Modern Society to Life Long Habits of Self Discipline, Self-Control, and Mental Toughness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 115min
    There are many hidden gems in history that, if uncovered, could unleash so much physical and intellectual wealth needed to restore our society, in the midst of the transformative changes brought by modernism, back to glory. The Stoic philosophy is one such gem. It is an ancient philosophy developed to make people happy. Many times, people seek happiness in the wrong activities, the wrong people, and in the wrong things. The majority focuses on achievement so much that they forfeit the joy of the moment. Others are passive bystanders, and they derive a sense of satisfaction from criticizing and talking about other people. This book addresses both groups. The bystanders are advised to focus on their issues with the promise that an inward look and the development of virtue will bring you the most success. The overachievers are also advised to take a moment and relax, focus less on achievement, and take the time to appreciate their surroundings. This audiobook provides a comprehensive discussion of all that relates to Stoicism. It sets the foundation that Stoicism was developed based on ethics, physics, and logic. The audiobook also lists a number of philosophers that have been instrumental in the shaping and making of this philosophy, including Seneca the Younger, Cato the Younger, Marcus Aurelius, and Epictetus. These wise minds helped to challenge, question, approve, and even develop the Stoic philosophy. If philosophy has stood its ground since the third decade, it surely is worthy of you trying out and practicing, especially because it is meant to ensure that you live a happy, fulfilled life.Inside this audiobook you will find:The most detailed explanation of Stoicism philosophyA comprehensive list of the philosophers and scholars who have helped shape StoicismA complete description of the Stoic disciplinesThe most informative description of the virtues of StoicismA wholesome analysis of ways i ungekürzt.

    Under Western Eyes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 677min
    Under Western Eyes, Joseph Conrad's novel of political treachery and oppression, of betrayal, guilt, and intrigue, begins with a bomb that kills its intended target, a hated Russian minister of police, along with a number of innocent bystanders. A young student named Razumov hides the perpetrator, then betrays him and becomes a spy among his exiled comrades. He faces a moral dilemma from which there is no escape. Conrad professed that he intended to render "the psychology of Russia", a country being driven by a Czarist despotism into anarchy by revolutionaries, "unable to see that all they can effect is merely a change of names". This masterwork, published six years before the Russian Revolution, is a chillingly accurate prophecy of what was to come. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Geoffrey Howard.

    The Case of Patrick Sherrill, George Hennard, & James Huberty: Rampage Killers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 32min
    The Case of Patrick Sherrill, George Hennard, & James Huberty (Rampage Killers) discusses the lives of these three men leading up to their violent public attacks on innocent bystanders. The common features of these three attacks is that each was labeled as a rampage killing. This is to say that four or more individuals were killed at a single location with no break between the acts. Additionally, each of these attackers would die on the scene either at the hand of law enforcement or by their own hand. Two of the attacks would occur in foreign establishments and the other in the individual's workplace, both common features of rampage killings. Attacks of this nature often occur at home, school, or in one's own home. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steven G. Carley.

    Summary of Killing the Rising Sun from Bill O'Reilly , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 31min
    Killing the Rising Sun conveys tales from the Pacific battleground of the Second World War consisting of the questionable United States choice to establish and make use of atomic weapons. Sustained by self-confidence in their racial supremacy, the Japanese put in a fantastic effort to broaden their empire throughout East Asia. When Prime Minister Hideki Tojo persuaded Emperor Hirohito to assault Pearl Harbor, war with the United States and the other Allied forces was inescapable. While it was true that Japan had actually concurred to previous Geneva Conventions, they broke those arrangements during their war effort. From their pre-World War II invasion of China until after the emperor accepted defeat, Japanese soldiers committed offensive acts. These acts consisted of rape, killing, mutilation of remains, and enslavement of innocent bystanders. This is a summary and analysis of the book and not the original book. ungekürzt.
