Summary:

Named by HELLO! Magazine as One of the Best Motivational Self-Help Books of 2024

Life is an unpredictable white-water ride of fast currents, beautiful scenery, rocky passageways, and calm waters. What Does It Matter? is a simple yet profound framework to be used when deciding priorities, curating possessions, making plans, and managing emotions.

In this life-affirming book, the author shares what she has found undeniably helpful in her own life and offers it to you, the listener, to use in yours—however you want to. And the 'however you want to' bit is crucial, because the best lesson you can take away from this book is to remember to think before you follow. Remember to think before you overreact. Remember to think before being so hard on yourself. Remember to ask, 'What does it matter?' to help you see the funny side in any situation sooner.

You are in charge of yourself; your life is yours. You can think for yourself—don't let anyone tell you that you can't. Happiness propaganda may imply that you are not enough or your life is sub-standard, but this book will serve as a direct torpedo hit against that commonplace assault. Use this book as part of your protection plan against self-destruction . . . and then use it to help others. Live life with less stress and more joy by asking yourself: 'What does it matter?' (WDIM)—and have the courage to act on your answer.

Title: Heroines in History: A Thousand Faces

Author: Katie Pickles

Narrator: Naomi Madelin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:04:54

Language: English

Release date: 04-18-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, World

Summary:

Heroines in History: A Thousand Faces moves beyond stories of individual heroines, taking a thematic, synthesizing, and global in scope approach to challenge previous understandings of heroines in history.

Responding to Joseph Campbell's Hero with a Thousand Faces, Katie Pickles explores the idea of a transcultural heroine archetype that recurs through time. Each chapter addresses an archetypal theme important for heroines in history. The volume offers a new consideration of the often-awkward position of women in history and embeds heroines in the context of their times, as well as interpreting and analyzing how their stories are told, retold, and represented at different moments. To do so it recovers and compares some women now forgotten, along with well-known recent heroines and brings together a diversity of women from around the world. Pickles looks at the interplay of gender, race, heredity status, class, and politics in different ways and chronicles the emergence of heroines as historical subjects valued for their substance and achievements, rather than as objects valued for their image and celebrity.

In an accessible and original way, the book builds upon developments in women's and gender history and is essential for anyone interested in this field.

Title: Dangerous Instrument: Political Polarization and US Civil-Military Relations

Author: Michael A. Robinson

Narrator: Adam Barr

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:43:50

Language: English

Release date: 04-11-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Politics, Public Policy, Political Ideologies

Summary:

As increasingly contentious politics in the United States raise concerns over the 'politicization' of traditionally non-partisan institutions, many have turned their attention to how the American military has been-and will be-affected by this trend. Since a low point following the end of the Vietnam War, the US military has experienced a dramatic reversal of public opinion, becoming one of the most trusted institutions in American society. However, this trend is more complicated than it appears: just as individuals have become fonder of their military, they have also become increasingly polarized from one another along partisan lines. The result is a new political environment rife with challenges to traditional civil-military norms.

Michael A. Robinson studies the sources and potential limits of American trust in the armed services, focusing on the interplay of the public, political parties, media outlets, and the military itself on the prospect of politicization and its associated challenges. As democratic institutions face persistent pressure worldwide, Dangerous Instrument provides important insights into the contemporary arc of American civil-military affairs and delivers recommendations on ways to preserve a non-partisan military.
