Dog Eat Dog: How to Deal with the Virus of Evil

De: Adam Goodman

Narrado por: Israel Ram

Who among us has not been hurt by human evil?

It happens to us almost daily: Insults, trickery, betrayal, and other serious sins. How many times have we asked ourselves, where does all this evil come from? And why does it exist at all?

And - how is it possible to deal with it and overcome it?

Our small radio station invites our listeners to share with other listeners their stories of evil that they have experienced in their lives.

Thirty-two different stories enable us to penetrate the depths of evil, beginning with its origins in our ancestors, the chimpanzees, in the forests of Africa, through endless types of physical and mental evil that we have developed along the human evolutionary scale: Murder torture, rape, beatings, imprisonment, humiliation, exploitation, plundering, lies, forgery, insults, ostracism - and that’s just the start of the list. When you understand where evil comes from, and what role evil plays in our lives, it is easier to bear evil and evade it and overcome it.

When you finish listening, you are invited to write to us and send us your short stories about your experiences with evil, that you yourselves have experienced, and we will chose among them those that will appear in the next edition of this audiobook.

Among the stories you can hear are:

• The story of Goldie, who learned to be a dancer, and in the wake of a terrible car crash was paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair. How did her beloved behave, who was about to marry her? How did the parents of her new friend behave - a friend who had also asked for her hand in marriage? You’ll be surprised - or, perhaps you won’t.
• The story of the famous French artist who married his young lover, who worshipped him, until the day that...
• The story of the young soldier who came home from the battlefield in order to find that...
• The awful story of the charming, popular archaeologist worshipped by many women, who understand in his 12th romantic affair that...
• The painful, banal story of the women whose husband abandoned her without an explanation, and her feeling of degradation...
• The unbelievable story of the taxi driver who devoted his life and his wealth to educating and enriching his four children, until, when he grew old...
• And also the stories of the boxer and the soccer fan who learned how to stop suffering from failure and mockery...
• And the story of the polygraph expert who discovered that indeed, nobody is perfect...
• And more, and more, and more...

Buy it, dear listeners, enjoy it and write us your stories, so others too can enjoy them.

And the bottom line is: Do good, cause no pain to anyone.

We are awaiting you.

Interesting and unusual

Weird, unusual, funny and very fun to read. This book is part mockumentary part rant part philosophy book trying to grapple with the very basic question of why there is evil in the world, what does it stem from? don't expect any answers or morals here, just a nuanced and interesting perspective on this age-old question. I am still undecided on whether this book is deeply misanthropic or full to the brim with love of man.

The book is really well narrated and almost feels like it was actually made for audio format.
