Title: The Law of Attraction - Misunderstood & Misinterpreted

Author: Robert Burney

Narrator: Don Baarns

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 23 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-08-15

Publisher: Joy to You & Me Enterprises

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 9 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy

Publisher's Summary:

Robert Burney is an author, counselor, and spiritual teacher who has been referred to as "a metaphysical Stephen Hawking". His first book, Codependence: The Dance of Wounded Souls, has been called "one of the truly transformational works of our time". In this audiobook about the law of attraction, he shares his opinion that spiritual teachers, new age gurus, and New Thought churches are teaching the law of attraction in ways that do a disservice to - and can actually hurt - the people they are teaching.

As he states in this book: "I am publishing this book because I believe that the way the law of attraction is being taught by most people who are teaching it today is not ultimately loving. I believe it is being taught in a way that makes many of the people hearing it feel ashamed; in a way that causes people to focus on reaching a destination at the expense of being present in the now; in a way that reinforces the delusion that there is something inherently wrong with being human, with human beings. It is also being taught by most spiritual teachers in a way that discounts and devalues emotions and emotional healing."

He also states, "I believe that spirituality is all about relationships. One's relationship to self, to others, to the environment, to life in general. A spiritual belief system is simply a container for holding all our other relationships. I believe that a lot of these New Age spiritual teachers do not have large enough spiritual containers / paradigms - and as a result are teaching the law of attraction in ways that are not loving."

Members Reviews:

Good topic, just repetitive

would have liked more depth, Robert has a good ear for truth, I enjoy his work

A lot about addiction recovery

Not exactly what I was looking for... this book deals a lot with the authors efforts as a recovering addict and how it related to The Law of Attraction n his particular case.

Worth Reading

The premise of this book is something that has needed to be said to the very vulnerable group of adults traumatized and wounded in childhood and I was glad to see it addressed in this book . Robert Burney is a mystic, in my opinion, and so he possesses the inner knowledge to question authority. I was confused by the layout of the book since there was so much quoting from previous writings and in a audio book it's a bit difficult to follow but, it kept my interest. I wish it had gone into some of the other new age ideas like that we "chose" our families and more about forgiveness an issue that is pushed on survivors and is sometimes a detriment to recovery but, I still think that Robert Burney gets it and is a valuable voice.

Title: What Is Truth? On the Nature of Empire

Subtitle: Why What We Use as Money Matters, Book 4

Author: David Mint

Narrator: Tobias Livingston

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 13 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-23-15

Publisher: The Wilcox Trading Company

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Economics

Publisher's Summary:

In the twenty-first century, it has become clear to most that there is no divine right or imperative for the existence of an empire on the Earth. As such an ever-increasing number of peoples have thrown off the yoke of empire in favor of what has become known as a democratic model of collective governance. Yet simply changing the rules of governance has not put an end to the core ideals of empire, and governments today that are elected democratically have largely retained the hallmarks of imperial rule, namely the tendencies toward a central monopoly on the use of force and the right to demand tribute. How can this be?

Title: Civil Disagreement

Subtitle: Personal Integrity in a Pluralistic Society

Author: Edward Langerak

Narrator: Robert Armin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 21 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-04-14

Publisher: University Press Audiobooks

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy

Publisher's Summary:

How can we agree to disagree in today's pluralistic society, one in which individuals and groups are becoming increasingly polarized by fierce convictions that are often at odds with the ideas of others? Civil Disagreement: Personal Integrity in a Pluralistic Society shows how we can cope with diversity and be appropriately open toward opponents even while staying true to our convictions. This accessible and useful guide discusses how our conversations and arguments can respect differences and maintain personal integrity and civility even while taking stances on disputed issues. The author examines an array of illustrative cases, such as debates over slavery, gay marriage, compulsory education for the Amish, and others, providing helpful insights on how to take firm stands without denigrating opponents.

Civil Disagreement offers a concise yet comprehensive guide for students and scholars of philosophical or religious ethics, political or social philosophy, and political science, as well as general readers who are concerned about the polarization that often seems to paralyze national and international politics.

Members Reviews:

Great for discussion

Using is as the text in an Elder Collegium class I am taking, taught from the author of the book.

Great for discussion. What more can I say. :-)

Excellent Book on Civility, Perspective, Compromise, Intolorance in a Pluralistic World

A long one sentence review of "Civil Disagreement - Personal Integrity in a Pluralistic Society" by Edward Langerak is: intellectually challenging, yet easy to read in the sense that each paragraph and each chapter logically flows to build the authorâs framework for âperspective pluralismâ for civil disagreement as applied to individuals and, in the last chapter, to liberal and pluralistic democracies.

The review on the back cover of the book by Lloyd Steffen states that this is a ââmature and philosophically sophisticated work.â The other review by William F. May states that this âbook on political thought is a gem.â I too thought it was a âgem,â more so for broadening my ability to understand and appreciate other cultures. As a middle-aged man, I am many years beyond formal presentations of logic, argumentation or the writings of philosophers. However, casual surfing of the web or the reading of headlines points out the need for individuals and societies to move away from the desire to win disputes by eliminating the opponent to being able to find compromises through civil discourse that respects the reasonableness of the arguments of both sides without sacrificing individual or societal integrity. I am not educated enough to rebut, disagree or praise the detailed arguments put forth by the author, but I found the book to be richly rewarding.

In the preface of the book the author states that the intended audience for the book is students taking philosophy, religion and political science classes, interested citizens and experts. The scholarly material is appropriately consigned to footnotes. There are numerous footnotes and many pages of cited references in the back of the book. My preference for reading a book is to stop and read the footnotes âin-flight.â I did read the book a second time, not focusing on the footnotes, and then a third time reading each footnote as it appeared.

Title: Reality Check

Subtitle: How Science Deniers Threaten Our Future

Author: Donald R. Prothero

Narrator: Darren Stephens

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 hrs and 2 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-18-14

Publisher: University Press Audiobooks

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 59 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy

Publisher's Summary:

The battles over evolution, climate change, childhood vaccinations, and the causes of AIDS, alternative medicine, oil shortages, population growth, and the place of science in our country - all are reaching a fevered pitch. Many people and institutions have exerted enormous efforts to misrepresent or flatly deny demonstrable scientific reality to protect their nonscientific ideology, their power, or their bottom line. To shed light on this darkness, Donald R. Prothero explains the scientific process and why society has come to rely on science not only to provide a better life but also to reach verifiable truths no other method can obtain. He describes how major scientific ideas that are accepted by the entire scientific community (evolution, anthropogenic global warming, vaccination, the HIV cause of AIDS, and others) have been attacked with totally unscientific arguments and methods. Prothero argues that science deniers pose a serious threat to society, as their attempts to subvert the truth have resulted in widespread scientific ignorance, increased risk of global catastrophes, and deaths due to the spread of diseases that could have been prevented.

Critic Reviews:

"Donald Prothero is a scientist's scientist.... In this volume you will indeed get a reality check on some of the most important issues of our time." (Michael Shermer, author of The Believing Brain)

"Prothero's treatise will give the science-minded something to cheer about, a brief summary of the real data that supports so many critical aspects of modern life." (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

Reality Check is sure to piss you off

Would you listen to Reality Check again? Why?

No--only because I rarely re-read (or re-listen) to books twice--there are too many new books I haven't gotten to yet! :-)

That said, it is a good reference tool if I have to challenge a denier on any of the many topics that Prothero covered--so there's a good chance I will revisit parts of the book.

What other book might you compare Reality Check to and why?

"Merchants of Doubt" by James Conway and Naomi Oreskes. Prothero borrows heavily from this book in his first couple chapters.

What about Darren Stephenss performance did you like?

It was smooth and unobtrusive. Stevens brought a gravitas to the book that often belied the snarky tone Prothero had.

Langue: Français

Evaluation: 4 sur 5 sur 3 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy

Résumé de l'éditeur:

Don Quichotte est le grand roman qui met en scène le déni et établit pour la première fois la vérité comme subjective. Cette œuvre majeure, connue de tous mais rarement lue, dispose de nombreux ressorts philosophiques que Michel Onfray nous permet d'appréhender. L'anti-héros chasseur de moulins à vent vit avec sincérité dans un monde où ses actions sont à la hauteur de ses ambitions, où il peut donner un sens à son existence. Pour lui, mieux vaut nier le réel que de sacrifier ses idéaux. Michel Onfray aborde ainsi les mécanismes présents dans toutes les idéologies politiques et religieuses qui font du déni une tentation universelle, à l'échelle individuelle et collective.

Title: Ron Paul, Will Rogers and the Tea Party

Subtitle: Great Depression Thinking for Our Times

Author: Gary Anderson

Narrator: Kenneth Lee

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-17-14

Publisher: Gary Anderson

Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Economics

Publisher's Summary:

The Great Depression was a time that saw the emergence of a great figure, Will Rogers. His thought was forceful and single minded about what needed to be done to fix the nation in the aftermath of predatory behavior by international financiers. An analysis of the Tea Party and Ron Paul is made based upon this tradition of Great Depression thinking. This audiobook reveals the real desires of the TBTF banks and the IMF and the US central bank, the Federal Reserve. Citizens must inform themselves as to these motives and desires, which lead to ruin and which were not destroyed by the housing crash of 2007.

Certainly, the history of the modern central banking system, including our Federal Reserve Bank is the blueprint for understanding the financial world order. Lowering and raising interest rates is not all that the central banks do. Exposing the other nefarious activities of the private central banks and discussing how to survive both as individuals and as a nation becomes an important discussion to have.

While history shows that the sovereignty of nations comes with danger, the abdication of sovereignty brings us into uncharted waters where there is no accountability from world leaders. The analysis of the financial system that follows exposes the financial order and its impact on sovereign nations then and now. No one has a crystal ball, but more and more, the bankers want to be respected and be your friends. While the big bankers are not worthy of respect, nor are they your friends, this motive drives them to strive for more transparency. But be assured, the interest of the Fed is to protect the big banks, and Main Street is not the constituency.

This audiobook discusses issues regarding Ron Paul, the Tea Party, the TBTF banks and how Will Rogers would have approached these issues in our time and going forward.

Will Rogers was a great man. Ron Paul cannot yet walk in his shoes.

Members Reviews:

It came up short

I found the structure and continuity of the writing to be poor. The narrative was fragmented. I have always liked Will Rogers, but found this disappointing.

Anderson Doesn't Really Understand What He's Talking About

Hey there,

I've been following Gary Anderson's writings about Ron Paul for some time now. I'm an avid supporter of Ron Paul, and I must admit that I'm entirely biased towards Paul's view of the world.

However, Gary Anderson, the author of this book, clearly understands little-to-nothing about Paul's opinions. He has made numerous mistakes regarding Ron Paul's viewpoints. In at least one of his articles Anderson openly admitted that he didn't know about Paul's opinions on Job Creation, yet went on to belittle the ..... unknown... viewpoint....

I wrote a lengthy article pointing out further flawed logic and clear fallacies to his work entitled "Stop the Nonsense".

[...]

I highly recommend ignoring altogether Anderson's work.

Title: The Rebirth of the American Dream

Subtitle: How Abolishing the Current Tax Code and the IRS Will Lead to the Next Huge Economic Growth Boom!

Author: Don Allen Holbrook

Narrator: John LoPrete

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-08-14

Publisher: Two Knights One Horse Productions

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Economics

Publisher's Summary:

The greatest American economic development stimulus policy to create prosperity and renewed growth and much needed jobs would be the abolishment of the current tax code in favor of a new hybrid flat and fair tax code. Holbrook demonstrates how this new tax code would be equitable and fair to all Americans.

His argument is that with the elimination of personal taxes and a new three layer tax code built on the pay as we go principal of consumption taxes, corporate gross revenue taxes, coupled with excise, import and licensure fees the U.S. would have the lowest tax environment in the world with the greatest revenue. It would also balance the budget to current costs and all us to pay off our longterm national debt to become fiscally the envy of the world. This would create the greatest economic boom in United States recent history as companies would flock back to the United States for new investments and thus create much needed jobs for Americans!
