Author: HealthFit Publishing
Narrator: Brian Pederson
Out of all people who set fitness goals for themselves, 73 percent throw in the towel before they have achieved those goals; 42 percent of those who give up say the reason behind their giving up is it was just too hard to stick to the exercise regime. The question now is, "Why do we find it so hard to stick to an exercise routine?" The problem with our concept of exercise is we think it has to be exhausting, entail hours spent at the gym, and require you to haul yourself out of bed at sunrise to run before work. That couldn't be more untrue. The solution is simple: We merely have to make walking a habit. Regular walking allows your body to burn more calories, boosting your weight loss and bringing with it a whole host of extra benefits-to both physical and emotional health. In fact, if you were to gradually build just 3 hours of walking into your week, you could lose up to 25 percent more body weight in 12 weeks than you would by dieting alone. There couldn't be a more straightforward way to lose weight and build fitness.

Author: Josiah Osgood
Narrator: Ana Clements
In Uncommon Wrath, historian Josiah Osgood tells the story of how the political rivalry between Julius Caesar and Marcus Cato precipitated the end of the Roman Republic. As the champions of two dominant but distinct visions for Rome, Caesar and Cato each represented qualities that had made the Republic strong, but their ideological differences entrenched into enmity and mutual fear. The intensity of their collective factions became a tribal divide, hampering their ability to make good decisions and undermining democratic government. The men's toxic polarity meant that despite their shared devotion to the Republic, they pushed it into civil war. Deeply researched and compellingly told, Uncommon Wrath is a groundbreaking biography of two men whose hatred for each other destroyed the world they loved.

Author: Nicholas Jackson
Narrator: James Cameron Stewart
Until the publication of this captivating biography, no such volume on Trajan's life has been tailored to the general listener. The unique book illuminates a neglected period of ancient Roman history. Trajan rose from fairly obscure beginnings to become the emperor of Rome. He was born in Italica, an Italic settlement close to modern Seville in present-day Spain, and is the first Roman Emperor to be born outside of Rome. His remarkable rise from officer to general and then to emperor in just over twenty years reveals a shrewd politician who maintained absolute power. Trajan's success in taking the Roman Empire to its greatest expanse is highlighted in this gripping biography. Trajan's military campaigns allowed the Roman Empire to attain its greatest military, political, and cultural achievements. The book draws on novel theories, recent evidence, and meticulous research, including field visits to Italy, Spain, Germany, and Romania to ensure accurate, vivid writing that transports the listener to Trajan's territory.

Trafficking dаta: How China is Winning the Battle for Digital Sovereignty (Audiobook)
English | ISBN: 9781696609364 | 2022 | 10 hours and 21 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 296 MB
Author: Aynne Kokas
Narrator: Hannah Choi
From TikTok and Fortnite to Grindr and Facebook, Aynne Kokas delivers an urgent look into the technology firms that gather our data, and how the Chinese government is capitalizing on this data flow for political gain. In Trafficking Data, Aynne Kokas looks at how technology firms in the two largest economies in the world, the United States and China, have exploited government policy (and the lack thereof) to gather information on citizens, putting US national security at risk. Kokas argues that US government leadership failures, Silicon Valley's disruption fetish, and Wall Street's addiction to growth have fueled China's technological goldrush. In turn, American complacency yields an unprecedented opportunity for Chinese firms to gather data in the United States and quietly send it back to China, and by extension, to the Chinese government. Drawing on years of fieldwork in the US and China and a large trove of corporate and policy documents, Trafficking Data explains how China is fast becoming the global leader in internet governance and policy, and thus of the data that defines our public and private lives.

A practical guide to prototyping as a way to revolutionize your work and creative life, from Stanford University's world-renowned Hasso Plattner Institute of Design, aka the d.school. Prototyping is a way to test an idea to see if it can be successful before investing too much time and too many resources. But it's not only designers who "prototype" as they work. A skateboarder tries a new trick; that's a prototype experience. A chef experiments with a new dish and new ingredients; that's a prototype experience, too. Once a prototype is made, the creator gains knowledge about what worked and what didn't, what should be used again and what should be trimmed from the experience. This is a book about becoming better at prototyping by building things and experiences that will help you learn from your attempts, no matter what you're aiming to achieve. Listeners will learn how to not only create prototypes but also how to reflect on the success and failure of those attempts.
