Venus in Furs by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch audiobook. Genre: romanceThe framing story concerns a man who dreams of speaking to Venus about love while she wears furs. The unnamed narrator tells his dreams to a friend, Severin, who tells him how to break him of his fascination with cruel women by reading a manuscript, Memoirs of a Supersensual Man.This manuscript tells of a man, Severin von Kusiemski, so infatuated with a woman, Wanda von Dunajew, that he requests to be treated as her slave, and encourages her to treat him in progressively more degrading ways. At first Wanda does not understand or relate to the request, but after humouring Severin a bit she finds the advantages of the method to be interesting and enthusiastically embraces the idea; though at the same time, she disdains Severin for allowing her to do so.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 0(00:09:38) Chapter 1(00:58:51) Chapter 2(01:50:55) Chapter 3(02:22:49) Chapter 4(02:53:32) Chapter 5(03:28:52) Chapter 6(03:58:42) Chapter 7(04:32:11) Chapter 8 Learn more about your ad choices.

The Three Hostages by John Buchan audiobook. Genre: thrillerYears after his earlier adventures, Richard Hannay is enjoying the quiet life of a country gentleman when an unexpected visitor shatters his peace: a renowned American doctor with a strange gift for reading minds and a warning about a new kind of enemy. Three people have been taken, not for ransom or politics, but as pieces in a far-reaching scheme that uses fear, persuasion, and psychological control as weapons. Hannay, drawn back into danger by duty and curiosity, is tasked with finding the captives before time runs out and before the plot behind their disappearance tightens its grip on society. From drawing rooms and lonely country roads to shadowed corners of the city and the Highlands, Hannay follows a trail of coded clues, evasive witnesses, and unsettling performances that blur the line between entertainment and manipulation. As he works alongside allies old and new, he must confront an adversary who prefers to corrupt the will rather than break the body, and who may already have influence where Hannay least expects it.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 1(00:25:15) Chapter 2(01:07:56) Chapter 3(01:40:28) Chapter 4(02:21:24) Chapter 5(02:52:42) Chapter 6(03:34:52) Chapter 7(04:07:44) Chapter 8(04:29:48) Chapter 9(04:52:15) Chapter 10(05:29:28) Chapter 11(06:12:17) Chapter 12(06:35:55) Chapter 13(06:58:06) Chapter 14(07:15:26) Chapter 15(07:48:38) Chapter 16(08:14:29) Chapter 17(08:50:03) Chapter 18(09:10:40) Chapter 19(09:48:15) Chapter 20(10:28:29) Chapter 21(11:00:15) Chapter 22(11:33:28) Chapter 23 Learn more about your ad choices.

Your Mind and How to Use It by William Walker Atkinson audiobook. Genre: self helpWilliam Walker Atkinson was one of the most prominent contributors to the literature of the New Thought movement, a non-denomination spiritual philosophy which developed in the late Nineteenth Century. Although he achieved eminence in a number of professions, Atkinson never sought personal publicity, and many of his numerous works were published under a variety of pseudonyms.Most of Atkinson’s works are manuals of practice rather than pure expositions of philosophy. Many of his books are concerned with the training of the mind, and one of the most typical of these is Your Mind and How to Use It: A Manual of Practical Psychology, first published in 1911.

Thought Vibration by William Walker Atkinson audiobook. Genre: self helpWilliam Walker Atkinson (December 5, 1862 – November 22, 1932) was an attorney, merchant, publisher, and author, as well as an occultist and an American pioneer of the New Thought movement.Atkinson was a prolific writer, and his many books achieved wide circulation among New Thought devotees and occult practitioners. He published under several pen names, including Magus Incognito, Theodore Sheldon, Theron Q. Dumont, Swami Panchadasi, Yogi Ramacharaka, Swami Bhakta Vishita, and probably other names not identified at present. The works published under the name of William Walker Atkinson generally treat themes related to the mental world, occultism, divination, psychic reality, and mankind's nature. They constitute a basis for what Atkinson called 'New Psychology' or 'New Thought'. These titles include Thought-Force in Business & Everyday Life (1900), Thought Vibration or the Law of Attraction in the Thought World (1906) and Practical Mental Influence (1908).Due in part to Atkinson's intense personal secrecy and extensive use of pseudonyms, he is now largely forgotten, despite having obtained mention in past editions of Who's Who in America, Religious Leaders of America, and several similar publications - and having written more than 100 books in the last 30 years of his life. His works have remained in print more or less continuously since 1900.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 1(00:42:39) Chapter 2(01:14:36) Chapter 3(01:40:14) Chapter 4 Learn more about your ad choices.

Dynamic Thought; Or, The Law of Vibrant Energy by William Walker Atkinson audiobook. Genre: self helpThis book is a marriage of the Ancient Occult Teachings to the latest and most advanced conceptions of Modern Science--an odd union, for the parties thereto are of entirely different temperaments. The marriage might be expected to result disastrously, were it not for the fact that a connecting link has been found that gives them a bond of common interest. No two people may truly love each other, unless they also love something in common--the more they love in common, the greater will be their love for each other. And, let us trust that this will prove true in this marriage of Occultism and Science, celebrated in this book.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:07:59) Chapter 02(00:22:14) Chapter 03(00:35:25) Chapter 04(00:50:18) Chapter 05(01:17:38) Chapter 06(01:38:50) Chapter 07(02:05:19) Chapter 08(02:24:06) Chapter 09(02:41:17) Chapter 10(03:00:18) Chapter 11(03:27:19) Chapter 12(03:47:35) Chapter 13(04:05:22) Chapter 14(04:34:00) Chapter 15(04:41:17) Chapter 16(05:02:05) Chapter 17 Learn more about your ad choices.

The Phenomenology of Mind, Volume 2 by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel audiobook. Genre: philosophyPhänomenologie des Geistes (1807) is Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel's most important and widely discussed philosophical work. Hegel's first book, it describes the three-stage dialectical life of Spirit. The title can be translated as either The Phenomenology of Spirit or The Phenomenology of Mind, because the German word Geist has both meanings. Phenomenology was the basis of Hegel's later philosophy and marked a significant development in German idealism after Kant. Focusing on topics in metaphysics, epistemology, physics, ethics, history, religion, perception, consciousness, and political philosophy, The Phenomenology is where Hegel develops his concepts of dialectic (including the Master-slave dialectic), absolute idealism, ethical life, and Aufhebung. The book had a profound effect in Western philosophy, and 'has been praised and blamed for the development of existentialism, communism, fascism, death of God theology, and historicist nihilism.' Note, this is the second volume of two.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 01(00:12:28) Chapter 02(00:15:19) Chapter 03(00:51:01) Chapter 04(01:24:18) Chapter 05(01:39:30) Chapter 06(01:53:30) Chapter 07(02:28:56) Chapter 08(03:08:31) Chapter 09(03:28:42) Chapter 10(04:31:28) Chapter 11(04:48:53) Chapter 12(05:12:33) Chapter 13(05:20:20) Chapter 14(05:46:48) Chapter 15(06:16:52) Chapter 16(07:00:09) Chapter 17(07:37:17) Chapter 18(08:03:52) Chapter 19(08:12:05) Chapter 20(08:17:03) Chapter 21(08:21:21) Chapter 22(08:30:46) Chapter 23(08:39:02) Chapter 24(09:04:53) Chapter 25(09:16:36) Chapter 26(09:54:43) Chapter 27(10:26:32) Chapter 28(11:17:36) Chapter 29 Learn more about your ad choices.

The Logic of Hegel by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel audiobook. Genre: philosophyThe Logic of Hegel is a demanding, influential guide to how thinking itself develops, and how that development shapes everything we call reality. Rather than treating logic as a set of static rules, G.W.F. Hegel presents it as a living movement in which basic concepts test their own limits, break down, and re-form at a higher level of coherence. Beginning with the most stripped-down notions of being and nothing, the work follows the unfolding of categories through becoming, quality and quantity, essence, contradiction, and ground, toward richer accounts of concept, judgment, and inference. Along the way, Hegel challenges the reader to abandon fixed definitions and to see thought as self-correcting: each idea generates tensions that force it beyond itself. The central struggle is intellectual and philosophical: can reason provide an account of the world that is not imposed from outside, but emerges from the inner necessity of concepts themselves? Blending metaphysics, epistemology, and a critique of traditional formal logic, this book invites listeners into the engine room of German Idealism and offers tools for understanding change, relation, and self-knowledge at the most fundamental level.For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate)(00:00:00) Chapter 00(00:22:20) Chapter 01(01:05:44) Chapter 02(02:02:23) Chapter 03(02:30:32) Chapter 04(02:49:28) Chapter 05(03:30:42) Chapter 06(03:48:10) Chapter 07(04:20:05) Chapter 08(04:44:43) Chapter 09(05:41:07) Chapter 10(06:21:29) Chapter 11(07:04:41) Chapter 12(07:20:24) Chapter 13(07:57:02) Chapter 14(08:48:27) Chapter 15(09:35:03) Chapter 16(10:09:24) Chapter 17(10:42:24) Chapter 18 Learn more about your ad choices.
