Couverture audiobook de Summary of  Mantak Chia, Douglas Abrams, Maneew Chia & Rachel Carlton Abrams'sThe Multi-Orgasmic Couple, de Distill Books
Distill Books | 25 octobre 2022

Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI Voice. Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Becoming multi-orgasmic is one of the greatest gifts a man can give his partner. It will help women to understand their partners if they also read this chapter. It will help them to understand how their partners are developing and how they can help them achieve multiple orgasms. #2 To become a multi-orgasmic man, you must understand that orgasm and ejaculation are two different things. Orgasm is the peak experience of sex for most people, and it is one of the most intense and pleasurable parts of being human. Ejaculation is simply a reflex that occurs at the base of the spine and results in the ejection of semen. #3 A first laboratory study of male multiple orgasms was conducted by sex researchers William Hartman and Marilyn Fithian. They tested thirty-three multi-orgasmic men, who could have two or more orgasms without losing their erection. Their arousal charts were the same as those of multi-orgasmic women. #4 The average number of orgasms a multi-orgasmic man had was four. Some had the minimum of two, and one had sixteen. In another study, most men reported having between two and nine orgasms before losing their erection.

Couverture audiobook de Summary of Albert Ellis & Arthur Lange's How to Keep People from Pushing Your Buttons, de Distill Books
Distill Books | 25 octobre 2022

Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI Voice. Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 There are only three things that humans can do: think, feel, and act. We are constantly thinking, feeling, and acting, and we must learn how to direct and control our responses to those who push our buttons. #2 There are four main screwball feelings: excessive anxiety, anger/defensiveness, depression/burnout, and guilt. If you get excessively anxious, you will not handle that situation effectively. If you get excessively angry, you will not handle it well. #3 When you are overreacting, you are making yourself excessively guilty. When you are excessively guilty, others can manipulate you, and you will make decisions for all the wrong reasons. #4 The ABC's are a model that I developed in 1955 when I began practicing Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, the first of today's cognitive behavior therapies. They represent specific people and things that could push your buttons. The two types of Activating Events are major crises like flood, famine, disease, or war, and daily hassles, frustrations, worries, problems, decisions, and difficult people.

Couverture audiobook de Summary of Alex Von Tunzelmann's Indian Summer, de Distill Books
Distill Books | 25 octobre 2022

Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI Voice. Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In 1577, the Mughal Empire was in the process of uniting India. The English population was starving and miserable. The country was politically and religiously divided, and had spent much of the sixteenth century at war with itself. #2 In the 1570s, the English began to feel confident and expansive. In 1577, the philosopher John Dee conjured up the first image of a Brytish Impire, a empire that would include India. #3 The history of empire was not always so cosy between the British and the Indians. After the English republic fell and the monarchy was restored, King Charles II gave the East India Company a series of rights without responsibilities. This was pure capitalism, unleashed for the first time in history. #4 The East India Company, a private corporation, ruled India from the mid-1700s until the 1850s, when regulation began to creep in. The British government eventually decided that an empire based on trade was in poor taste, and drew up a new charter that restricted the Company's trade activities.

Distill Books | 25 octobre 2022

Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI Voice. Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had a small, talented team, but I was a control freak who didn't have anything resembling a blueprint for growth. I was sorely lacking the ability to manage anything beyond bringing in clients, and I was unable to concede enough authority to empower anyone on my staff to rise to the occasion and fill in the gaps. #2 The moment when your life takes a drastic turn and the universe tosses you out on your derrieres is when you must make a change. When you are under constant stress, you are never living in the moment. You are constantly trying to figure out what you need to do next, rather than paying attention to the brilliant opportunities for joy and prosperity right in front of you. #3 I spent the following year rebuilding my company. I made a list of all the parts of my business that worked well and separated out those that were broken, faulty, or missing altogether. I then dove into each individual aspect to figure out why some things worked while others didn't. #4 I developed two blueprints to grow a business and scale a business. I adhered to them step-by-step as I built nine more companies that have generated tens of millions of dollars.

Distill Books | 25 octobre 2022

Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI Voice. Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Freedom Sunday service at First Baptist Church, Dallas, was attended by thousands. But not everyone was happy about the billboards advertising the event, which quoted pastor Robert Jeffress as saying, America is a Christian nation. #2 Americans hold a variety of orientations toward the intertwining of Christianity and American civil society. While most Americans do not support Christian nationalist ideology, a significant number of them oppose it strongly. #3 The four categories we use to describe Americans who express Christian nationalist views are meant to be a shorthand. Each is highly predictive of different views on social and political issues, but no system of categorization can perfectly capture the diversity of Americans' views on this subject. #4 There are four groups in the study: Rejecters, who do not believe there should be any connection between Christianity and politics; Ambassadors, who believe that there should be a connection; Accommodators, who believe that there should be a connection but want to keep it subtle; and Resisters, who believe that there should be no connection between Christianity and politics.

Distill Books | 25 octobre 2022

Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI Voice. Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Napoleon was a twenty-three-year-old artillery lieutenant who escaped from a political maelstrom on his homeland island of Corsica in 1793. Six years later, he became First Consul and dictator of France. #2 Napoleon's meritocracy was one of the greatest inventions of the French Revolution. It allowed talented people to reach the very apex of society, and it was this system that the other European powers tried to crush. #3 Napoleon was a great commander because he liked spending time with his soldiers. He would often take his own medal of the légion d'honneur off his uniform and give it to the soldier concerned. #4 Napoleon was extremely concerned with the well-being of his soldiers, and would spend hours talking to them one-on-one to make sure they were satisfied. He would also take care of them if they were wounded or ill.

Distill Books | 25 octobre 2022

Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI Voice. Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The debate about slavery has continued to resurface throughout the decades, and historians have continued to argue about what it actually meant to be a slave. The most recent books have failed to address the experiences of Black women during slavery. #2 The typical female slave was a houseservant, but in reality, the majority of slave women were field workers. The oppression of women was identical to the oppression of men. #3 While the slave system treated women as second class citizens, it also made sure to exploit their reproductive capabilities. Because slave women were not mothers, their children could be sold away from them. #4 The slaveowner would calculate the yield of his slaves in terms of the average rates of productivity he demanded. Women were generally rated as full hands, unless they had been assigned to be breeders or sucklers.

Couverture audiobook de Summary of Anja Røyne's The Elements We Live By, de Distill Books
Distill Books | 25 octobre 2022

Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI Voice. Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The history of the elements stretches back to the birth of the universe. Their story is long, but in relation to human time, it's been only 13. 8 billion years since the universe was born. #2 The universe began with a bang. The energy in the universe was flung out in all directions. Over the course of the next twelve hours, the mass in the universe continued clumping together. Huge clouds of atoms were formed, and before the clock struck three in the morning, groups of these clouds had become the first galaxies. #3 The weight of all the surrounding atoms pressed the hydrogen atoms against each other with great force. The pressure then became so intense that it caused the hydrogen nuclei to fuse and form new helium nuclei. This released a huge amount of energy that warmed up the clump of atoms, making it a bright star. #4 The elements are the building blocks of matter. They are the fundamental components of everything in the universe, and they are constant on Earth. They are only created through radioactive processes in which unstable nuclei of uranium and other heavy elements sometimes start splitting up.

Distill Books | 25 octobre 2022

Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI Voice. Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 On Friday, November 7, 1997, it was a typical day in Sarasota, Florida. But later that day, clouds moved in over the city, and it began to rain heavily. The entrance to the Gulf Gate subdivision was flanked by sweeping buff-colored brick walls bearing its name. #2 The young couple that moved into 3120 Markridge Road in September 1997 had the look of dependable tenants, and they seemed to be pleased with the house even though they had six children. They said they had moved from Texas when the husband got a big promotion and they needed someplace to live in a hurry. #3 The couple that helped them move out of Texas took care of them in Sarasota, a beautiful place. They were able to cut off their lives so abruptly because they had no other choice. They were safe in Sarasota, but they couldn't be in touch with their families. #4 November 7 was a normal day for Sheila, but for her, every day is filled with fear. She had lived with fear so long that it seeped like acid into any fleeting serenity she might attain, corroding her thoughts and sending jets of adrenaline through her veins.

Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI Voice. Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Anne Frank was a teenager who was living through an extraordinary experience, and to ground herself, she wrote everything she experienced down in a diary. She was writing about how everyone thought she was badly behaved, and how much she hated algebra and geometry. #2 The ability to write was once reserved for the aristocracy and the clergy, but by the early twentieth century, literacy had been democratized, and people used words to connect with others like them. #3 When she was a student teacher, Erin Gruwell took on a group of racist students, and instead of punishing them, she helped them express themselves through writing. They became close friends, and their journals became the confidants of kids who had a lot to talk about but no one to talk with. #4 The Freedom Writers program was started by a teacher named Erin Gruwell, and it allowed her students to write about their own hard times and setbacks. It became a kind of lighthouse for those students who thought no one would care if they wrote about their own problems.

Distill Books | 25 octobre 2022

Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI Voice. Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Area 51 is a riddle. Very few people comprehend what goes on there, and millions want to know. To many, Area 51 represents the Shangri-la of advanced espionage and war fighting systems. #2 Area 51 is the location of the Central Intelligence Agency's first peacetime aerial espionage program, which was partnered with the U. S. Air Force. It was also the location of several other government organizations born in the interim, such as the National Reconnaissance Office, the National Security Agency, and the Defense Intelligence Agency. #3 Bob Lazar first met Edward Teller in 1982 when he was working at the Los Alamos Nuclear Laboratory in radioactive particle detection. Six years later, his life had reached an unexpected low. He'd been fired from his job at Los Alamos, and he and his wife had moved to Las Vegas. #4 The land around Area 51 is restricted government land. There are no public highways, no shopping malls, and no twentieth-century urban sprawl. Everything visible from the air is restricted government land.

Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI Voice. Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Warren family, who were the first victims of the typhoid outbreak, were not the type of people who were typically thought to get the disease. They were a wealthy family who could afford to rent a nice summer house on Long Island. #2 Soper began to walk the cat backward, searching for an answer. The only new element introduced into the household was a cook, who handled food that was eaten by all the afflicted members of the household. The disease broke out, and the cook was gone. #3 Soper's investigation continued, and he found that the outbreaks were occurring in well-kept houses of the wealthy. He began to suspect that Mary was a carrier, and that she was infecting others because she was healthy. #4 Soper was a very hot topic in the new world of epidemiology. He wanted to find Mary Mallon, and he wanted her badly. He knew that his work was important. Typhoid was deadly in 1906 and 1907, and Soper felt like he was going to make his bones with this case.

Distill Books | 25 octobre 2022

Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI Voice. Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 A philosophy is important for selling effectively. It should guide how you sell, not just what you sell. It should be in line with what you believe, and live your beliefs. #2 Caveat venditor is a more appropriate philosophy today, as it encourages buyers to protect themselves from merchants. It implies that buyers are responsible for protecting themselves from merchants. #3 Confidence in yourself and what you're selling comes from the belief that you can make a difference for your clients. It allows you to ask for the commitment to take the next step. It comes from the belief that you can and will deliver the outcomes your clients need. #4 Caring is the root of trust, and trust is the foundation of all relationships, including commercial ones. When you care about helping other people generate the results they can't generate on their own, your outward focus becomes part of what creates a preference and makes you easier to buy from.

Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI Voice. Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 When you get a diagnosis of Hashimoto's thyroiditis, you feel relief, but also betrayal. Your body has let you down, and you don't know what you can trust anymore if you can't trust your body to be on your side. #2 If you've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, you may have heard that you're aging prematurely. While your story is your own, and the specifics of what you've gone through are specific to you, you stand united with a courageous and determined army that will not settle for anything less than the truth about thyroid health. #3 You are driven forward by a nagging sense that something here isn't right. You believe that there must be a bigger explanation, and you're right. #4 Your symptoms and illness are not your fault. You did not bring them on yourself by thinking the wrong thoughts or fixating too much on fear. Your body has not betrayed you. It has been working night and day to support you since the day you were born.

Distill Books | 25 octobre 2022

Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI Voice. Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Marginal utility is the additional utility gained from consuming an additional unit of a particular good. It is the reason people do not spend all of their money on a single good: consumption of most goods comes with decreasing marginal utility. #2 The opportunity cost of a choice is the value of the best alternative that you must forgo in order to make that choice. The opportunity cost of going to a movie is the forgone utility from the next most enjoyable activity you could have done. #3 In economics, the factors of production are the inputs used to create finished goods. They are land, labor, and capital. The ideal situation is to use all resources to their fullest capacity, or use the fewest possible resources for any given level of output. #4 A production possibilities frontier illustrates the various choices that an economic entity can make when choosing what to produce, given the constraints imposed by its limited factors of production.

Distill Books | 25 octobre 2022

Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI Voice. Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 We begin with ten stories of strategy from different aspects of life. Some of the answers may be surprising, but surprise is not the primary purpose of the examples. Our aim is to show that such situations are pervasive, and that methodical thinking about them is likely to be fruitful. #2 The game is to imagine that you are going to receive money and play the same way. The chance of getting the number right on the first shot is very low, only one in a hundred. To improve your chances, we will give you five guesses, and after each wrong guess, we will tell you if you are too high or too low. #3 The key lesson of game theory is to put yourself in the other player's shoes. When guessing a number picked at random, the number isn't trying to hide. But when playing a game, you must consider how the other player will be acting and how those decisions will influence your strategy. #4 The final challenge was to stand on a pole with one hand on the immunity idol. The last person standing would go into the finals. The winner would get to choose their opponent in the finals. Richard's two remaining rivals were 72-year-old retired Navy SEAL Rudy Boesch and 23-year-old river guide Kelly Wiglesworth.

Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI Voice. Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. ample Book Insights: #1 I was three years old when my parents moved me and my brother from Baghdad to Columbus, Ohio. I was taken out of daycare centers because of some incident, and I had to pee in my pants while sitting at the lunch table. #2 I had a very strong aversion to milk, which led to me not drinking it. I also avoided group restroom times at day care because of the way the kids would play doctor, half the school population lying face-down on the floor with their pants pulled down while the other half sat next to them and lightly spanked them. #3 I never took to Columbus, Ohio. I had fond memories of driving along the Olentangy River, but that was probably because we were now heading out of the state into our new home of Kentucky. I don't miss Columbus, except for its awesome COSI and OSU. #4 My family moved a lot, which was a common occurrence for us. I remember going to different schools every year because my family could not get comfortable in one place.

Distill Books | 25 octobre 2022

Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI Voice. Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Mindfulness is a simple strategy that involves paying attention to your body sensations, states, feelings, images, and thoughts as they move in and out of your consciousness. It helps you access all sorts of data about yourself, and it can be used to make choices based on that information. #2 The same principles can be applied to more significant decisions, such as which treatment, exercise, or intervention is right for you. With mindfulness, you can take the power of determining what is best for you away from the experts and hold it firmly in your own hands. #3 People who have suffered from the aftermath of trauma are very vulnerable. Their nervous systems are off-kilter, and they become desperate to try anything that might help them. When something works, all the better. But when interventions fail, the trauma survivor can end up in worse condition than before treatment. #4 There are so many options available that it is often difficult to choose, and evidence for what has been proven to work is sometimes contradictory. It is possible that had Martha been counseled or helped to foresee if this program would suit her, she would have been able to access information indicating a clearer direction for her.

Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI Voice. Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The head accounts for around 47 percent of heat loss, and its protection is vitally important. The inner layers of your clothing should be made of a thin, cotton material, loose-fitting and able to absorb perspiration. The second layer should be made of tightly woven wool with adjustable fastenings at the wrist and neck. #2 Boots should be calf-length, watertight, and loose enough to allow the wearing of two pairs of socks - one thin pair under a thick, knee-length woollen pair. Loose, comfortable layers will not restrict the foot's blood supply. #3 In a survival situation, you can rarely replace your clothes. It is important to ensure they last and continue to function properly. Layers next to your skin will need frequent washing to remove ingrained sweat and dirt. #4 The development of specialized survival equipment for civilian use has increased significantly over the past decade. The items in your kit must be useful and fit within your weight and size restrictions.

Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI Voice. Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The first thing I noticed about Jesse was the fear and anxiety in his eyes. He was a boy with severe social anxiety, sensitivity to touch, and difficulty processing language. He also had a seizure disorder that was detected when he was a toddler. #2 The traditional approach to diagnosing autism is to look for a combination of deficits, such as difficulty communicating, trouble developing relationships, and a restricted repertoire of interests and behaviors. But this approach treats the person as a problem to be solved rather than an individual to be understood. #3 The main cause of emotional dysregulation in people with autism is their neurology. They are more vulnerable to emotional and physical challenges than others, and they have fewer innate coping strategies. #4 It is important to consider all available clues and work to determine what is underlying or triggering a particular reaction. What is making the child dysregulated. Is it internal or external. Is it visible. Is it in the sensory realm.

Distill Books | 25 octobre 2022

Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI Voice. Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Bible is the most widely purchased, extensively read, and deeply revered book in the history of Western Civilization. It is also the most thoroughly misunderstood, especially by the lay reading public. #2 The Bible is often studied in seminaries, and the students there are typically theological students who have been raised in churches and have a strong devotion to the Bible. However, many of them do not know how to approach the Bible from a more academic perspective. #3 The American Protestant seminaries are known for their challenging approach to the Bible, which is the historical-critical method. It is completely different from the devotional approach to the Bible that is taught in church. #4 The historical-critical method is difficult to accept for many seminarians, who come in with the expectation of learning the pious truths of the Bible so that they can pass them along in their sermons. Instead, they learn that the Bible is filled with discrepancies, many of which are irreconcilable contradictions.

Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI Voice. Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The polytheistic religions of the ancient Western world did not require bookish beliefs or ethical codes, as books played almost no role in their religion. Judaism, on the other hand, stressed its ancestral traditions, customs, and laws, and maintained that these had been recorded in sacred books. #2 Christianity, the religion of Jesus, was also a bookish religion from the very beginning. Christians, from the very beginning, valued the books of their tradition. #3 The first Christians wrote letters to each other, which were extremely important to the communities. These letters were later regarded as scripture. #4 The New Testament is made up of letters written by Paul and other Christian leaders to Christian communities and individuals. These letters were important to the early Christian communities because they bound them together and helped make Christianity different from the other religions scattered throughout the empire.

Sample Book Insights: #1 The first five words or phrases that come to mind when you think of an old person are usually negative. However, this reflects the vast range of age beliefs that exist in different cultures, which ultimately determines how we age and how well we hear and remember. #2 Age beliefs are mental maps of how we expect older people to behave based on age. They are the product of natural, internal processes that begin when we are babies and continue throughout our lives. #3 Stereo types are the often-unconscious devices we use to quickly assess other people. They are often based on external social beliefs that we absorb uncritically from the external social world. #4 The most harmful thing about negative age stereotypes is that they not only color our actions and judgments toward others, but they also influence how we think about ourselves and these thoughts can impact how we feel and act.

It is a process where two parties compromise their way to a resolution, rather than fighting their way to victory. When the lawyers are out of the room, Tyler and Cameron try to avoid talking about the case itself. #2 The twins were eventually forced to go to mediation, where they met with the mediator Tony Piazza. They thought he was the perfect bus driver for their seemingly endless ride. #3 The brothers had hired the Quinn Emanuel firm, which was known for its tough litigators and arbitration. The firm had also pioneered a lack of a formal dress code. When his brother agreed to go in alone for the meeting, Tyler agreed. #4 In 2004, Cameron and his brother Tyler met with Zuckerberg to discuss the social network they had been building. However, unbeknownst to the twins, Zuckerberg had begun working on another social network.

I can begin by choosing one of them, not because it is first or of any importance in a wildly adventurous sense, but because it is turned uppermost in my logbook. #2 Nungwe was a town that lay west and south of Nairobi on the southernmost rim of Lake Victoria Nyanza. It was barely alive when I went there in 1935. It was a Mecca for gold miners, who had begun to dig there. #3 Nairobi was a gateway to a new country, and it was growing quickly. It was a place of shillings and pounds and land sales and trade, extraordinary successes and failures. Its shops sold whatever you needed to buy. #4 Africa is a land full of mysteries, wildness, and heat. It is a photographer's paradise, a hunter's Valhalla, and an escapist's Utopia. It is what you want it to be, and it withstands all interpretations. It is the last vestige of a dead world or the cradle of a shiny new one.

He had been a heavy smoker for many years in his younger days, but had quit in his fifties. The damage done to his lungs in his younger days had apparently caught up with him. #3 I was nervous to take over Boyd's work, as I was not as gifted a thinker as he was. I knew I was gifted with a quick mind, but he was an operator whose mind worked at a much higher plane. I felt inadequate. #4 There are no infallible systems. If there was one, the market would cease to exist. As the market will clean up the market, one must accept that fact and realize that all that is needed to be a successful speculator is in the price and volume action of leading stocks and indices.

Couverture audiobook de Summary of C. S. Lewis's A Grief Observed, de Distill Books
Distill Books | 25 octobre 2022

Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI Voice. Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Grief is like fear. It feels like being afraid, but for different reasons. It is difficult to take in what others say, and it is hard to want to take it in. It is so uninteresting. Yet I want the others to be about me. #2 Marriage has done wonders for me. I can never again believe that religion is manufactured out of our unconscious, starved desires and is a substitute for sex. I know now that God is absent when we need him the most because he is absent - non-existent. #3 I began to see that respect for the wishes of the dead is a trap. I cannot talk to the children about their mother, and they look as if I am committing an indecency. I am an embarrassment to everyone I meet. #4 The end of H. 's life was the beginning of mine. We were separated by death, and by the fact that we were both dying of cancer. But we had been torn apart by time and space and body, which had brought us together.

Couverture audiobook de Summary of Cameron Hewitt's The Temporary European, de Distill Books
Distill Books | 25 octobre 2022

Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI Voice. Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Traveling to Europe is not just about passively consuming Europe, but actively participating in it. You must become part of the European ecosystem and adopt their customs and daily rhythms. #2 The temporary European is empathetic: they assume that other people's ways make sense to them, and they try to understand why. It requires concerted effort to travel with curiosity and understand those little quirks that make sense to Europeans. #3 Culture shock is very real, even for those of us who have acquired immunity. I fly from Seattle to Kraków, where I feel most at home, and yet I still have to ease myself into Europe. #4 The first impression created by an iconic place is so vivid that it becomes tinged with nostalgia even as it occurs: you begin to resist the majesty, and that's when you get to the good stuff.

Couverture audiobook de Summary of Camille Paglia's Free Women, Free Men, de Distill Books
Distill Books | 25 octobre 2022

Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI Voice. Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Sex and gender are subsets of nature. We cannot hope to understand sex and gender without first clarifying our attitude towards nature. We are not nature's favorites. We are merely one of a multitude of species upon which nature indiscriminately exerts its force. #2 Sex is a far darker power than feminism has admitted. It is the point of contact between man and nature, where morality and good intentions fall to primitive urges. Sex is the intersection of Hecate, where all things return in the night. #3 Sex is daemonic. It is a reflection of family romance, the constellation of sexual personae we carry from childhood to the grave. Every encounter with friend or foe, every clash with or submission to authority, is shaped by family romance. #4 The search for freedom through sex is doomed to failure. In sex, compulsion and ancient Necessity rule. The sexual personae of family romance are obliterated by the tidal force of regression, which Ferenczi identifies with ocean.

Couverture audiobook de Summary of Carol Ann Tomlinson's How to Differentiate Instruction in Academically Diverse Classrooms, Third Edition, de Distill Books
Distill Books | 25 octobre 2022

Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI Voice. Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Differentiating instruction means shaking up what goes on in the classroom so that students have multiple options for absorbing information, making sense of ideas, and expressing what they've learned. In other words, a differentiated classroom provides different avenues for acquiring content, processing or making sense of ideas, and developing products. #2 While differentiated instruction can offer multiple avenues to learning, it does not assume a separate assignment for each learner. It focuses on meaningful learning, and it ensures that all students engage with powerful ideas. #3 The teacher should be able to control student behavior, and differentiate instruction requires more leadership from the teacher. While teachers who differentiate instruction may have to be more active leaders, they are not doing so at the expense of student thinking. #4 The hallmark of an effective differentiated classroom is the use of flexible grouping, which allows students to work with a variety of peers and with tasks that are thoughtfully designed to draw on their strengths as well as address their weaknesses.

Couverture audiobook de Summary of Catherine Raven's Fox and I, de Distill Books
Distill Books | 25 octobre 2022

Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI Voice. Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had bought this land three years earlier. I had been living up valley, renting a cabin that the owner had winterized, in the sense that if I wore a down parka and mukluks to bed, I wouldn't succumb to frostbite overnight. #2 The fox was a year old, and he had already trespassed several times to visit the house with the shiny blue roof. He planned to avoid his mother's territory and visit the house instead. #3 The author had a conversation with Fox, and then looked at him in silence for fifteen seconds. The fifteen-second pause simulated his turn to speak. He had almost reached his average sitting time of eighteen minutes. #4 The unboxed fox and I were still reading when the landline interrupted. I tried ignoring it, but I didn't own an answering machine and my caller had limitless patience. After listening to about a dozen rings, I went inside and picked up the downstairs phone, leaving the door open so I could keep an eye on Fox.

Couverture audiobook de Summary of Cathy O'Neil's The Shame Machine, de Distill Books
Distill Books | 25 octobre 2022

Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI Voice. Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 We all experience shame, and it is a silent, yet extremely destructive, force that affects everyone. It is the sense of worthlessness that comes from being embarrassed, and it can be triggered by someone else's criticism of you. #2 The journey that opened my eyes to the insidious dominance of shame in our lives began when I was a pudgy girl living with her two overweight parents in a Boston suburb in the 1980s. I was always big for my age, and I suffered from the humiliation of being weighed every year in gym class. #3 I was a young nerd who loved math, and I used that skill to help me lose weight. I ditched regular meals and ate multiple packages of hundred-calorie fruit snacks, as those made counting calories even easier. I was elated and in control of my body for the first time in my life. #4 I spent my youth trying every diet there was, and none of them worked. I was always ashamed of my weight, and I allowed myself to become chronically uncomfortable and self-punishing as a result.
