Author: Jennifer Breheny Wallace
Narrator: Jennifer Breheny Wallace
The definitive book on the rise of "toxic achievement culture" overtaking our kids' and parents' lives, and a new framework for fighting back. In the ever more competitive race to secure the best possible future, today's students face unprecedented pressure to succeed. They jam-pack their schedules with AP classes, fill every waking hour with resume-padding activities, and even sabotage relationships with friends to "get ahead." Family incomes and schedules are stretched to the breaking point by tutoring fees and athletic schedules. Yet this drive to optimize performance has only resulted in skyrocketing rates of anxiety, depression, and even self-harm in America's highest achieving schools. Parents, educators, and community leaders are facing the same quandary: how can we teach our kids to strive towards excellence without crushing them?

Free Download Necessary Trouble: Growing Up at Midcentury (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0C2ZWK8TX | 2023 | 10 hours and 16 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 296 MB
Author: Drew Gilpin Faust
Narrator: Drew Gilpin Faust
To grow up in the 1950s was to enter a world of polarized national alliances, nuclear threat, and destabilized social hierarchies. Two world wars and the depression that connected them had unleashed a torrent of expectations and dissatisfactions-not only in global affairs but in American society and Americans' lives. To be a privileged white girl in conservative, segregated Virginia was to be expected to adopt a willful blindness to the inequities of race and the constraints of gender. For young Drew Gilpin Faust, the acceptance of both female subordination and racial privilege proved intolerable and galvanizing.

Free Download Navy Dog: A Dog's Days in the US Navy (Audiobook)

Author: Neal J. Kusumoto Captain US Navy (ret)
Narrator: Chris Monteiro
Having Seaman Jenna as the mascot on the USS Vandegrift was never meant to be a statement or symbolic act, or to put the crew on the radars of four-star admirals. Jenna came aboard unannounced, a Christmas gift that brought instant joy to the crew and transformed a gray ship into a home for 225 sailors. Her addition was not pre-approved by the chain of command-contrary to military protocol. Before long, Jenna became a phenomenon-the only dog on a Navy ship since World War II-despite the best efforts to keep her from the public eye. This orphaned Shiba Inu and the displaced crew shared countless adventures and trials during her five years on board.

Free Download Natality: Toward a Philosophy of Birth (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0C6V4BRNN | 2023 | 8 hours and 3 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 234 MB
Author: Jennifer Banks
Narrator: Jen Jayden
An exhilarating exploration of natality, a much-needed counterpoint to mortality, drawing on the insights of brilliant writers and thinkers. Birth is one of the most fraught and polarized issues of our time, at the center of debates on abortion, gender, work, and medicine. But birth is not solely an issue; it is a fundamental part of the human condition, and, alongside death, the most consequential event in human life. Yet it remains dramatically unexplored. Although we have long intellectual traditions of wrestling with mortality, few have ever heard of natality, the term political theorist Hannah Arendt used to describe birth's active role in our lives.

Free Download Narrative Healing: Awaken the Power of Your Story (Audiobook)

Author: Lisa Weinert
Narrator: Lisa Weinert
Uncover the healing power of your story, express your authentic voice, and find connection with this positive holistic guide to writing and creativity. Lisa Weinert's work is based on the premise that we hold our stories in our bodies. The extent that we learn how to release them affects how we perceive and approach our lives-but what if we don't have the tools to understand our narrative outside of what's been told to us?  What if we don't have access to our own story due to trauma? What if we are unable to share our truth with the world? In Narrative Healing, she empowers listeners to identify, understand and tap into the healing power of their stories.

Author: Victoria Bateman
Narrator: Victoria Bateman
Is it right that, despite the promises of feminism, women's bodies remain at the mercy of state, society, and religion? Should a scantily clad woman, or a promiscuous one, be worth less than a fully covered woman, or a chaste one? Are being sexy and being smart really mutually exclusive? Can a woman be both body and brain? Victoria Bateman has confronted these questions with actions as well as words. She has appeared naked on national television, on stage, in art and at protests-using her body, as well as her brain, to deliver her message.
