Author: Peter Foster
Narrator: Peter Foster
Six years after Brexit, it can feel like we’re still having the same conversations. This is the explainer we need to move on. And we do need to move on, because in the meantime so much has changed. The economic realities that are making the UK less competitive, less productive and less well-off are ever more obvious – and more and more people are finding out the Brexit they were sold was based on falsehoods and fantasy. So what exactly went wrong with Brexit? In this book, Peter Foster dispels the myths and, most importantly, shows what a better future for Britain after Brexit might look like. With clear-headed practicality, he considers the real costs of leaving the EU, how we can recover international trust in the UK, how to improve cooperation and trade with our neighbours, and how to begin to build the Global Britain that Brexit promised but failed to deliver. The politicians won’t talk about it, so we need to.

Free Download The Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BW1PX3HD | 2023 | 11 hours and 10 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 321 MB
Author: Amy C. Edmondson
Narrator: Kathe Mazur
A revolutionary guide that will transform your relationship with failure, from the pioneering researcher of psychological safety and award-winning Harvard Business School professor Amy Edmondson. We used to think of failure as the opposite of success. Now, we’re often torn between two "failure cultures": one that says to avoid failure at all costs, the other that says fail fast, fail often. The trouble is that both approaches lack the crucial distinctions to help us separate good failure from bad. As a result, we miss the opportunity to fail well. After decades of award-winning research, Amy Edmondson is here to upend our understanding of failure and make it work for us.

Free Download What’s Wrong with Lookism?: Personal Appearance, Discrimination, and Disadvantage (New Topics in Applied Philosophy) by Andrew Mason
English | June 27, 2023 | ISBN: 019285979X | True EPUB/PDF | 256 pages | 0.6/1.4 MB
People are treated differently as a result of their looks. But when is appearance discrimination, or "lookism" as it is often called, morally objectionable? This issue is important for at least two reasons. First, the benefits that flow to people who are regarded as visually attractive are sizeable and are enjoyed in a number of contexts, including employment, personal relationships, education, politics, and the criminal justice system. Second, appearance discrimination is of moral interest not only in its own right, but also in terms of its connection to other forms of discrimination. Appearance norms, that is, norms concerning how we should look, often place greater burdens on disadvantaged groups. As a result, discrimination on the basis of appearance, when it rewards people who conform to these norms, may involve, or interact with, the effects of, wrongful discrimination on the basis of features other than appearance, in a way that aggravates existing injustices.

Free Download Mark Cooney, "Is Killing Wrong?: A Study in Pure Sociology "
English | ISBN: 0813933048 | 2012 | 272 pages | EPUB | 362 KB
"Thou shalt not kill" is arguably the most basic moral and legal principle in any society. Yet while some killers are pilloried and punished, others are absolved and acquitted, and still others are lauded and lionized. Why? The traditional answer is that how killers are treated depends on the nature of their killing, whether it was aggressive or defensive, intentional or accidental. But those factors cannot explain the enormous variation in legal officials’ and citizens’ responses to real-life homicides. Cooney argues that a radically new style of thought―pure sociology―can. Conceived by the sociologist Donald Black, pure sociology makes no reference to psychology, to any single person’s intent, or even to individuals as such. Instead, pure sociology explains behavior in terms of its social geometry―its location and direction in a multidimensional social space.

Free Download Vietnam: Right? or Wrong? by J. Randolph Maney Jr
English | June 21, 2023 | ISBN: 8885313353 | eISBN: 9798885313353 | 258 Pages | EPUB | 20.4 MB
Edward R. Morrow once said, "Anyone who isn’t confused [about Vietnam] really doesn’t understand the situation." For many this quote is as true in 2023, on the 50th Anniversary of the war’s "end," as it was when the war ended; therefore, it now seems timely to take another look at all this confusion.

Free Download Unbroken: The Trauma Response Is Never Wrong: And Other Things You Need to Know to Take Back Your Life (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BX4TD3WN | 2023 | 5 hours and 32 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 314 MB
Author: MaryCatherine McDonald
Narrator: MaryCatherine McDonald
A profound new approach to healing trauma, grounded in a radical reframing of how we understand this nearly universal experience. For centuries, we’ve been taught that being traumatized means we are somehow broken-and that trauma only happens to people who are too fragile or flawed to deal with hardship. But as a researcher, teacher, and survivor, Dr. MaryCatherine McDonald has learned that the only thing broken is our society’s understanding of trauma. "The body’s trauma response is designed to save our lives-and it does," she says. "It’s not a sign of weakness, but of our function, strength, and amazing resilience."
