Long, long ago, in a land far away, lived a perfect little tree named Small Pine. Small Pine hoped to maintain its perfect form and be selected by the Queen as her Christmas tree. But as the warm-hearted little tree gave shelter to birds, rabbits, and deer in the forest, its branches became damaged. Fortunately, the Queen had a different idea of perfection…

How to Raise Kids Who Aren’t Assholes Science-Based Strategies for Better Parenting – from Tots to Teens


Free Download How to Raise Kids Who Aren’t Assholes: Science-Based Strategies for Better Parenting – from Tots to Teens by Melinda Wenner Moyer, Penguin Audio
English | July 20, 2021 | ISBN: B08RF3PQ55 | 8 hours and 16 minutes | M4B 74 kbps | 269 Mb
How to Raise Kids Who Aren’t Assholes is a clear, actionable, sometimes humorous (but always science-based) guide for parents on how to shape their kids into honest, kind, generous, confident, independent, and resilient people…who just might save the world one day.
As an award-winning science journalist, Melinda Wenner Moyer was regularly asked to investigate and address all kinds of parenting questions: how to potty train, when and whether to get vaccines, and how to help kids sleep through the night. But as Melinda’s children grew, she found that one huge area was ignored in the realm of parenting advice: How do we make sure our kids don’t grow up to be assholes?
On social media, in the news, and from the highest levels of government, kids are increasingly getting the message that being selfish, obnoxious, and cruel is okay. Hate crimes among children and teens are rising, while compassion among teens has been dropping. We know, of course, that young people have the capacity for great empathy, resilience, and action, and we all want to bring up kids who will help build a better tomorrow. But how do we actually do this? How do we raise children who are kind, considerate, and ethical inside and outside the home, who will grow into adults committed to making the world a better place?

Why Animals Aren’t Food, Book 1 Animals, Themselves Components, Mechanisms & ‘Diseases’

English | 2016 | ISBN: 1516915399 | EPUB | pages: 408 | 1.9 mb
The nutrition book vegans have been waiting for… And the one book all animal eaters should read too. Why Animals Aren’t Food is the first comprehensive nutrition guide to name and shame the dozens of animal substances beyond cholesterol which injure us; the multiple mechanisms by which they maim us; the myriad parasites, bacteria and viruses with which they infect us; the environmental pollutants with which they contaminate us; and the many healing processes and vital nutrients they lack. Book 1 (Animals, Themselves) explains how "diseases" such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, five forms of blindness and vision loss, heart attacks, strokes, Alzheimer’s, acne, arthritis, MS, lupus and cancer are symptoms of eating animals (and junk), preventable, even reversible if we switch early enough to eating whole plants. Not a weight-loss manual, Why Animals Aren’t Food contains the only 10 words of weight loss advice we’ll ever need. When we eat ourselves healthy, ideal weight management follows automatically.

English | ASIN: B0CJW87JHX | 2024 | 3 hours and 50 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 223 MB
Author: Peter McIndoe, Connor Gaydos
Narrator: Peter McIndoe, Connor Gaydos

The true story of the greatest conspiracy in US history-and how to fight back. Have you ever seen a baby pigeon? You haven’t, have you? No one has, not in many, many years. They used to be everywhere. You couldn’t walk out of your front door in New York City in the 1930s without seeing dozens of those little guys scurrying around. Today, there are millions of grown up pigeons in New York, but not a baby pigeon to be seen. That’s because they come out of the factory as adults. This is one of the many smoking guns of the bird drone surveillance crisis. Since 1959, the Deep State has mercilessly slaughtered over 12 billion birds and replaced them with identical drones that are designed to spy on private citizens and report their every action directly to the government.
