A series of 16 influential political pamphlets published between 1776 and 1783 during the American Revolutionary War (1775-83) titled The American Crisis, or simply The Crisis, by eighteenth-century Enlightenment philosopher and author Thomas Paine — an Englishman living in the colonies who signed his essays anonymously as "Common Sense," the title of his earlier influential work. Each essay, bolstered the morale of the American colonists to fight hard for their independence, appealed to the English to support the colonist's cause, clarified the issues at stake, and denounced any type of negotiated peace. The essays were gathered into one volume in 1882, showcasing the iconic opening line: "These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman."

HPR4703: Ebooks and Audiobooks

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. I tend to prefer Ebook and Audiobooks to physical books, and these are some of the apps I use, and some of the sources I go to to find Ebooks or Audiobooks. These can be inexpensive, or in the case of Public Domain, free. Ebooks and Audiobooks I no longer wish to devote space to accumulating and storing physical books. As a former college professor I had more of them than most people, and tended to fill the house with bookcases and shelves. That made a certain sense in the pre-Internet years since I would often want to go back to them to look up things. But now I have more information at my fingertips than I ever had in those days, and I find it more convenient to just look up anything I need to know. And with Ebooks I can take my library with me anywhere I go. This means if I am sitting in a waiting room for a Doctor's appointment (and at my age that happens often enough) I can just pull out my phone and open up a book. I always have at least one. Right now on my phone I have apps for Kindle , Google Play , Barnes & Noble Nook , Kobo Cantook (successor to Aldiko), Bookshop.org , and Calibre . As for devices other than my phone, I own a kindle, I once owned a Nook, and I will buy a Kobo reader when Trump is gone. Kobo is Canadian, and last time I looked Trump had put on a tariff that was twice what the device costs. And finally I have the Bookshop.org app and Calibre. I started collecting Ebooks some years back, and at first the only option seemed to be buying them from large corporations. That has changed now, but I still have collections On Kindle, Google Play, Nook, and Kobo. I have all four because it seemed prudent to not put all my eggs in one basket. But now there are other options. One I like to use when possible is Bookshop.org. It is group of independent bookstores and I would rather support them than some giant corporation. And they seem to have all of the popular titles. Another similar site is Books-a-Million , which lets you order online and pick up at a local store if you need a physical book. Cantook and Calibre are both good for holding any miscellaneous Ebooks you have, and you can give them your Ebooks from the other sellers, though I have found that the native apps tend to work better. These days I rarely purchase books on Kindle, etc. But sometimes they have a special deals. If you want to build your library, there are some good places to try. One is BookBub which will send you emails with deals on books. On any one e-mail you may not see anything you want, but I found that once or twice a month I did see books I wanted and at good prices. And Books-a-Million has 99 cent deals to check out. But if you want to get free books, you have several options. If you want a chance to read a popular Ebook but don't need to own it, see what your local Library offers. Mine offers Hoopla which is good for Ebooks, Audiobooks, and streaming music. What you can find depends on what your library has in its collection, but my wife uses it almost daily for audiobooks. Then there are the works that have become part of the Public Domain. This varies somewhat by your country, but you might be surprised to learn how much is available. For Ebooks one of the biggest sites is Project Gutenberg . They follow US Copyright law for their collection, and they are a non-profit that can always use some support, so if you use them, give them a few Dollars or Euros. They tend to be the source for many or most other sites for Public Domain Ebooks They have over 75,000 free Ebooks. A newer site is Faded Page which is much smaller but focused on Canadian works. Standard Ebooks is a site that pulls from Project Gutenberg but does some additional formatting and is very easy to read online in your browser. For Audiobooks a good source is Open Culture , which advertises it has 1,000 free Audiobooks. We should also mention LibriVox , which also pulls from Project Gutenberg for its texts, but then turns them into Public Domain Audiobooks. They are always looking for volunteers who have a microphone and a computer to record Public Domain audiobooks. And last but not least the Internet Archive has tons of Ebooks and Audiobooks that are free.

Twenty-One by Mulford Doughty This slim volume of poetry was first published around 1917. The poet is very obscure, and little is known about his life. The twenty-one poems are written in a late-Romantic / early-Modern American idiom, and reflect themes characteristically treated by poets of the Edwardian era: war, youth, mortality, and emotional dislocation. Doughty appears to belong to a transitional literary generation. He is no radical modernist, like Pound or Eliot but is not enamoured of the comfortable sentimentality of late Victorian verse. This collection was first published by Librivox on 4th August, 2026.

Episode 391: Unexpectedness in Big and Little Ideas EPISODE NOTES Exciting news! You can listen to the audiobook version of What Am I Made For? Cultivate and Grow Big and Little Ideas. It is available on Audible, Spotify, LibriVox, Audiobooks.com, and library apps like Libby! You can hear “Chapter 1: Unexpectedness in Big and Little Ideas” in this podcast episode. Talented Swedish author Fredrik Backman reached out to me after reading my book. Once I get his permission, I will share some snippets from our email correspondence—spoiler alert: it's glowing! Mr. Backman is the brilliant mind behind beloved works like My Friends, A Man Called Ove, Beartown, Us Against You, The Winners, Anxious People, and others. Chapter One begins in this way. “We often think of self-growth as being something we initiate, but what if unexpected experiences are what actually shape us? From those unexpected experiences, we extract the lessons for self-growth that reshape our lives.” Our growth often comes wrapped in the cloak of inconvenience, appearing as grief, curiosity, or unexpected questions we never thought to ask. Let's embrace the beautiful messiness of becoming and allow this audiobook to inspire and nurture your big and little ideas along the way. So turn up the volume and enjoy my audiobook! You can start with chapter one by clicking on the podcast link. Happy listening! DOWNLOAD Episode Resources Audible Buy Nancy’s Book at Bookshop What Am I Made For?

Conscious Attentive Leadership Mentoring After listening, do these three C.A.L.M. Activities: Take this risk or do this adventurous task: What is a question you hadn't planned to ask yourself about your current situation? Apply Self-Compassion: Identify what feeling you are feeling right now. Where in your body do you feel this feeling? Once you know what your universal human need is, you can meet it. Welcome Appreciation: “I appreciate having taped the audiobook version of What Am I Made For? Cultivate and Grow Big and Little Ideas. As a result, I articulate words more clearly. I appreciate the team I worked with at Manuscripts, especially my audiobook producer, Stephanie McKibbon and Uros Stojnic, sound engineer.” It's Your Turn: Start with, “I appreciate what I heard from today's Mentor, Nancy Meyer. I appreciate this week's adventurous task because…”  “Most of the problems in our lives and world are caused by relational dysfunction, a dysfunction in how we relate: as social groups, as individuals, to animals and the environment, and even to ourselves. Therefore, developing relational literacy—the understanding of and ability to practice healthy ways of relating—is essential for personal, social, and ecological transformation.” —Melanie Joy, Ph.D. Psychologist, Author, Theorist, Educator When WeMentor… your life becomes more meaningful!!! Redefine how you lead while redesigning your business. Dual Innovation Leadership WORKS.  Visionary Mentor Nancy Meyer, MA Business and Life Mentor | Podcaster | Author | Mindfulness Yogi and Meditation Integrator I integrate mindfulness yoga into everything because breathing, meditation, and movement are essential as you change your life and how you lead.  I have a compassionate, collaborative approach that reinforces resilience and maintains accountable conversations supporting your evolution. Bottom Line: My top priority is your transformation and creating a meaningful life through business ownership. You will learn new skills, practice, evolve, innovate, expand marketing efforts, and prosper financially. We start with your desire to develop as a leader. To give you more background, I founded WeMentor, inc. in 1992 to promote Dual Innovation Leadership, the ability to evolve how you lead as you redesign your business model. To grow our businesses, we must lead differently when our perspective shifts. The thousands of brave leaders I have mentored succeeded by taking charge of how they evolved and learned how to respond to the unpredictable nature of business ownership by innovating on purpose (asserting self-leadership).  When your perspective shifts, your intuition nudges you into a growth process so you can learn how to lead differently. As you practice new ways of leading, you notice ways to change your business. It is like remodeling.  We start with a plan when we embark on a remodeling project. When we implement the plan, obstacles challenge us to adjust our mindset, gather further information, and brainstorm other options. Adapting the plan to fit our new reality is part of every remodeling project. Budgets always need adjusting, and we need to update our approach to complete the innovation. What I love about renovating our businesses is that new ideas emerge, and the project usually has an even better result. We feel changed through the process and have learned many details about remodeling that we can apply in our next project. HEAR why I am doing this podcast and subscribe HERE. Get inspired with resources and tools to support your transformation. We post new conversations regularly! You can also binge and listen to prior podcast conversations. Another thing to know about Dual Innovation Leadership is that you can rebound and recover from trauma, distractions, destructive habits, thoughtlessness, confusion, pointlessness, helplessness, overwork, stress, and suffering as you transform how you lead. Integrating our experiences is exhilarating as we evolve how we lead and redesign our lifework. Take the opportunity to change.

Each essay, bolstered the morale of the American colonists to fight hard for their independence, appealed to the English to support the colonist's cause, clarified the issues at stake, and denounced any type of negotiated peace.

Pocahontas became a MOTHER, when she married English planter John Rolfe in 1614 and gave birth ten months later to their son, Thomas Rolfe, in January 1615. Thomas Rolfe, who survived into adulthood and had his own descendants, lived in England and later returned to Virginia. Pocahontas took her son with her when she traveled to England in 1616, where she was introduced to high society. Shortly before returning to Virginia, Pocahontas died in 1617 of a suspected illness at age 22, leaving Thomas in England with his uncle before he later went to live in Virginia. While some oral histories suggest she may also have had a child named Ka-Okee with her first husband, Kocoum, this is not documented in mainstream historical records, which focus on her son with Rolfe. Her marriage and son were seen at the time as a symbol of the "peace" between the English settlers and the Powhatan people, and her name at baptism, Rebecca, was interpreted by some as "mother of two peoples". In 1608, Pocahontas (1596–1617) befriended the daring English explorer and adventurer John Smith (1580–1631) and later converted to Christianity. Her story has been romanticized over the years, many aspects of which are fictional, with the most famous being the many celebrated stories told about her and John Smith.

This week, we're doing something a little different on Ron's Amazing Stories. Ron heads back into the archives, dusting off some classic segments from past episodes and bringing them together for a special throwback edition of the show. If you've been listening for a while, you'll recognize a few familiar favorites—but there are also a few surprises waiting along the way. From vintage science fiction readings to classic radio mysteries and a thought-provoking tale from Ray Bradbury, this episode is a fun mix of old and new… with just a bit of tampering. So sit back, relax, and enjoy a journey through the golden age of storytelling—Ron style. In This Episode As Read By - A return to a fan-favorite segment inspired by Librivox, featuring "Gib Takes a Space Test" from a 1957 science fiction collection—where imagination leads the way and the future is anyone's guess. Five Minute Mystery - A classic 1940s mini-mystery, complete with Ron's signature humorous interruptions and a sponsor you probably weren't expecting. Main Feature – X Minus One: "The Veldt" - A chilling adaptation of a Ray Bradbury story about a fully automated nursery where imagination—and technology—may go too far. Story Thoughts - A look at Bradbury's themes of technology, parenting, and whether our modern conveniences are helping us… or quietly taking control. A Moment in Time - A nostalgic radio clip from the past, with insight into why it mattered then—and why it still does today.
