Edgar Cayce on Reincarnation and Family Karma
Summary
Life is a completely lawful experience because of the universal laws of reincarnation and karma that draw individuals together. Rather than being some type of unavoidable destiny or a fate about which we can do very little, the Edgar Cayce material instead sees karma as essentially an unconscious reservoir of information stored within the soul's memory. Although this memory may draw certain events and individuals to one another, personal free will and the way in which an individual responds to that memory determines her or his actual life experiences. Drawing upon contemporary family relationships, as well as family relationships for individuals who received guidance from Edgar Cayce, this insightful volume examines the activities of reincarnation and karma, especially as they play out in the dynamics of family relationships. All individuals are brought together within their respective families as a means of learning specific lessons and having opportunities for personal soul growth. In addition to examining the universal laws of reincarnation and karma, this book illustrates the lawfulness of life, the exacting nature of individual responsibility, and the ever-present hopefulness of personal free will. In the end, Edgar Cayce on Reincarnation and Family Karma makes an enormous contribution to demonstrating that life is a completely lawful experience, that individuals can overcome whatever "karmic lessons" they seem to be faced with, that free will is completely free, and that God is truly as fair and as loving as we have always wished for our Creator to be.

Duped
Summary
From the advent of fake news to climate-science denial and Bernie Madoff’s appeal to investors, people can be astonishingly gullible. Some people appear authentic and sincere even when the facts discredit them, and many people fall victim to conspiracy theories and economic scams that should be dismissed as obviously ludicrous. This happens because of a near-universal human tendency to operate within a mindset that can be characterized as a “truth-default”. We uncritically accept most of the messages we receive as “honest”. We all are perceptually blind to deception. We are hardwired to be duped. The question is, can anything be done to militate against our vulnerability to deception without further eroding the trust in people and social institutions that we so desperately need in civil society? Timothy R. Levine’s Duped: Truth-Default Theory and the Social Science of Lying and Deception recounts a decades-long program of empirical research that culminates in a new theory of deception - truth-default theory. This theory holds that the content of incoming communication is typically and uncritically accepted as true, and most of the time, this is good. Truth-default allows humans to function socially. Further, because most deception is enacted by a few prolific liars, the so called “truth-bias” is not really a bias after all. Passive belief makes us right most of the time, but the catch is that it also makes us vulnerable to occasional deceit. Levine’s research on lie detection and truth-bias has produced many provocative new findings over the years. He has uncovered what makes some people more believable than others and has discovered several ways to improve lie-detection accuracy. In Duped, Levine details where these ideas came from, how they were tested, and how the findings combine to produce a coherent new understanding of human deception and deception detection. Duped is skillfully narrated by Scott Pollak. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Edgar Cayce on Mastering Your Spiritual Growth
Summary
What if God were completely loving, the universe completely orderly, and everything that transpired in life a purposeful experience chosen, at some level, by the soul for spiritual growth and soul development? Such is the premise of Edgar Cayce on Mastering Your Spiritual Growth. Drawing upon contemporary examples as well as historical case studies of individuals who received psychic guidance from Edgar Cayce, this insightful volume examines the activities of soul growth and the process of personal transformation that will ultimately enable all individuals to transform themselves as well as society and the world at large. For countless ages, people have asked, "Who am I?", "Why am I here?", and, "Does my life have a purpose?" The answers to these questions were explored by thousands of individuals who came to famed psychic Edgar Cayce, and they are answers that are just as applicable today. The ultimate truth is that we are spiritual beings having a physical experience, living purposeful lives in a process of soul growth. The keys to that process are working with a personal spiritual intent or ideal, discovering our own approach to personal attunement, and repeatedly working with personal application. The Cayce information contends that it is the inevitable destiny of every soul is to become cognizant of its true relationship to the creator, eventually achieving spiritual enlightenment in the process. What if a new understanding of the nature of the soul and the purpose of life on Earth could transform humankind? Such is the premise in the Cayce information.

Dirty Electricity
Summary
When Thomas Edison began wiring New York City with a direct current electricity distribution system in the 1880s, he gave humankind the magic of electric light, heat, and power; in the process, though, he inadvertently opened a Pandora's Box of unimaginable illness and death. Dirty Electricity tells the story of Dr. Samuel Milham, the scientist who first alerted the world about the frightening link between occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields and human disease. Milham takes listeners through his early years and education, following the twisting path that led to his discovery that most of the 20th-century diseases of civilization, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and suicide, are caused by electromagnetic field exposure. In the second edition, he explains how electrical exposure does its damage and how electricity is causing our current epidemics of asthma, diabetes, and obesity. Dr. Milham warns that because of the recent proliferation of radio frequency radiation from cell phones and towers, terrestrial antennas, Wi-Fi, and Wi-max systems, broadband Internet over power lines, and personal electronic equipment, we may be facing a looming epidemic of morbidity and mortality. In Dirty Electricity, he reveals the steps we must take, personally and as a society, to coexist with this marvelous but dangerous technology.

Organ Donor: A Medical Thriller
Summary
To Senior Medical Examiner Dr. Beckett Campbell, the Hippocratic Oath has always been more of a suggestion than a guiding principle.... Beckett is no ordinary forensic pathologist, which is why he's not surprised when a container with expertly removed organs arrives on his desk.

Competitive Strategy
Summary
Now nearing its 60th printing in English and translated into 19 languages, Michael E. Porter's Competitive Strategy has transformed the theory, practice, and teaching of business strategy throughout the world. Electrifying in its simplicity - like all great breakthroughs - Porter’s analysis of industries captures the complexity of industry competition in five underlying forces. Porter introduces one of the most powerful competitive tools yet developed: his three generic strategies - lowest cost, differentiation, and focus - which bring structure to the task of strategic positioning. He reveals how competitive advantage can be defined in terms of relative cost and relative prices, thus linking it directly to profitability and presents a whole new perspective on how profit is created and divided. In the almost two decades since publication, Porter's framework for predicting competitor behavior has transformed the way in which companies look at their rivals and has given rise to the new discipline of competitor assessment. More than a million managers in both large and small companies, investment analysts, consultants, students, and scholars throughout the world have internalized Porter's ideas and applied them to assess industries, understand competitors, and choose competitive positions. The ideas in the audiobook address the underlying fundamentals of competition in a way that is independent of the specifics of the ways companies go about competing. Competitive Strategy has filled a void in management thinking. It provides an enduring foundation and grounding point on which all subsequent work can be built. By bringing a disciplined structure to the question of how firms achieve superior profitability, Porter’s rich frameworks and deep insights comprise a sophisticated view of competition unsurpassed in the last quarter-century. Competitive Strategy is skillfully narrated by Scott R. Pollak. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Pioneering Portfolio Management
Summary
An indispensable road map for creating a successful investment program from Yale’s chief investment officer, David F. Swensen. In the years since the now-classic Pioneering Portfolio Management was first published, the global investment landscape has changed dramatically - but the results of David Swensen's investment strategy for the Yale University endowment have remained as impressive as ever. Year after year, Yale's portfolio has trumped the marketplace by a wide margin, and, with more than $20 billion added to the endowment under his 23-year tenure, Swensen has contributed more to Yale's finances than anyone ever has to any university in the country. What may have seemed like one among many success stories in the era before the Internet bubble burst emerges now as a completely unprecedented institutional investment achievement. In this fully revised and updated edition, Swensen, author of the best-selling personal finance guide Unconventional Success, describes the investment process that underpins Yale's endowment. He provides lucid and penetrating insight into the world of institutional funds management, illuminating topics ranging from asset-allocation structures to active fund management. Swensen employs an array of vivid real-world examples, many drawn from his own formidable experience, to address critical concepts such as handling risk, selecting advisors, and weathering market pitfalls. Swensen offers clear and incisive advice, especially when describing a counterintuitive path. Conventional investing too often leads to buying high and selling low. Trust is more important than flash-in-the-pan success. Expertise, fortitude, and the long view produce positive results where gimmicks and trend following do not. The original Pioneering Portfolio Management outlined a common-sense template for structuring a well-diversified equity-oriented portfolio. This new edition provides fund managers and students of the market an up-to-date guide for actively managed investment portfolios.

No One Left but All of Us
Summary
It is not our institutions that are broken - it is our politics. We have a Republic our founding fathers never intended, where unlimited campaign contributions and congressional seniority keep Americans from having a real say in our government. Disunity and hyperpartisanship keep this system in place. It is time to change all that. When our elected leaders fail us, when corporations call the shots and make the laws, who is left to make it right? No one but all of us. This audiobook takes a hard look at today's politics - the profits and power to be made through keeping citizens uninformed and at each other's throats. It talks in real terms about the cost of disunity, the meaning of citizenship, and our civic duty - to each other and the nation. What the country needs now isn't change. It needs to rediscover the founding principles of the Republic. Its citizens need to take hold of the government by way of public opinion and voting and make our government work as it was originally intended.

Edgar Cayce on Angels and the Angelic Forces
Summary
Just who are guardian angels, archangels, and divine messengers? Even the words can produce comfort, reassurance, and hope, for they suggest the presence of celestial beings who are concerned for our welfare and are somehow involved in our lives and activities here on Earth. In hundreds of readings given over a period of decades, famed psychic Edgar Cayce repeatedly confirmed the existence of angels and spirit guides. Are these emissaries of light spiritual beings that come directly from God? Are they somehow responsible for bringing us information and guidance? If they truly exist, as suggested by the Cayce readings, then what role do they play in our lives, and how can we enhance that role? Cayce's readings not only provide insights into biblical accounts of angels that have been forgotten by history, but he goes on to describe how, in light of the Oneness of God, the nature of "fallen angels" might be very different than we have ever supposed. On more than 20 occasions, two specific angels spoke through Edgar Cayce in an effort to bring information from the world of spirit into the material realm. And what may be most amazing, Cayce taught that we as individuals can most effectively open ourselves up to the assistance of the angelic realms by simply seeking our own personal spiritual growth. This angelic wisdom is shared alongside real-life angelic testimonies in this latest metaphysical masterpiece by best-selling author Kevin J. Todeschi.
