Story
Sleep deprivation affects us in ways we don’t even realize or wouldn’t normally attribute to lack of sleep: inflammation, poor skin complexion, high blood pressure, brain fog, and mood swings, to name a few consequences. But modern technology and life’s obligations make it hard to “wind down” or “turn off” at night. That’s where this audiobook can help. It consists of two parts: an introductory section and five guided meditations to clear your head and help fall asleep faster.

A second collection of a hundred inspirational Buddhist quotations, to uplift and motivate you through the day. Each is followed by either a meditation or a reflection, to help release negative thoughts and find your own inner peace. Whether you listen to one a day, several at once, or jump around randomly, their beauty is that you can return to them time and again, as they gradually reveal new insights. They are also uplifting. At a time when we seem to be increasingly stressed and rushed, let them remind you of the hope and love in the world.

What is the meaning of life?It's a question every thoughtful person has pondered at one time or another. Indeed, it may be the biggest question of all-at once profound and universal, but also deeply personal.We want to understand the world in which we live, but we also want to understand how to make our own lives as meaningful as possible; to know not only why we're living, but that we're doing it with intention, purpose, and ethical commitment.

Thoughtful, Evenhanded, Precise, and Well Spoken

Publisher's Summary
Charles Darwin's most famous book On the Origin of Species is without question, one of the most important books ever written. While even the grandest works of Victorian English can prove difficult to modern readers, Darwin wrote his text in haste and under intense pressure.
For an era in which Darwin is more talked about than read, Daniel Duzdevich offers a clear, modern English rendering of Darwin's first edition. Neither an abridgement nor a summary, this version might best be described as a "translation" for contemporary English listeners. A monument to reasoned insight, the Origin illustrates the value of extensive reflection, carefully gathered evidence, and sound scientific reasoning.
By removing the linguistic barriers to understanding and appreciating the Origin, this edition aims to bring 21st-century listeners into closer contact with Darwin's revolutionary ideas.

Great Reading of a Very Important Work
Only a few points worth mentioning.
Firstly, I found the narrator's breathing to be somewhat distracting when I was in a quiet environment.
Secondly, the Foreword of the book mentions that some now superfluous words are omitted, and replaced with modernized terms. Though the foreword neglected to mention the use of the word "genetics" and it's qualifiers. I found this to be important because that term was not coined for almost a century after this work.
This is a fantastic piece of literature, and I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone. I was quite pleased to find an unabridged version of it's reading.
