Author: Anna Ferguson
Narrator: Anna Ferguson
Harness the power of your vagus nerve to reduce stress, overcome anxiety and release past trauma. Feeling anxious and disconnected are signs of a nervous system that’s out of balance.

By understanding our physiological stress response, we can override and heal our emotional response, and fix the behaviours sabotaging our health and happiness. In The Vagus Nerve Reset, Anna Ferguson offers somatic therapies alongside the science of Polyvagal Theory, to help us train our nervous system to stop overreacting, and start responding more calmly to day-to-day stressors and heal past experiences.

Free Download The Unaccountability Machine: Why Big Systems Make Terrible Decisions – and How The World Lost its Mind (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CRHV48MW | 2024 | 8 hours and 55 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 486 MB
Author: Dan Davies
Narrator: Peter Dickson
‘A corporation, or a government department isn’t a conscious being, but it is an artificial intelligence. It has the capability to take decisions which are completely distinct from the intentions of any of the people who compose it. And under stressful conditions, it can go stark raving mad.’ When we avoid taking a decision, what happens to it? In The Unaccountability Machine, Dan Davies examines why markets, institutions and even governments systematically generate outcomes that everyone involved claims not to want. He casts new light on the writing of Stafford Beer, a legendary economist who argued in the 1950s that we should regard organisations as artificial intelligences, capable of taking decisions that are distinct from the intentions of their members. Management cybernetics was Beer’s science of applying self-regulation in organisational settings, but it was largely ignored – with the result being the political and economic crises that that we see today. With his signature blend of cynicism and journalistic rigour, Davies looks at what’s gone wrong, and what might have been, had the world listened to Stafford Beer when it had the chance.
