Every cow just wants to be happy. Every chicken just wants to be free. Every bear, dog, or mouse experiences sorrow and feels pain as intensely as any of us humans do. In a compelling appeal to reason and human kindness, Matthieu Ricard here takes the arguments from his best sellers Altruism and Happiness to their logical conclusion: Compassion toward all beings, including our fellow animals, is a moral obligation and the direction toward which any enlightened society must aspire.

I have been a Buddhist for a long time and have been vegetarian off and on. I worries this book would be in your face about animal cruelty. I found this to be a very thoughtful and thorough exploration of yes animal cruelty in industrial farming, but it goes so far beyond that. I found the history of thought in the West and elsewhere regarding animal rights fascinating.
After reading this, I decided joyfully to become vegan (I’ve never tried to give up dairy). None of the arguments to keep eating meat hold up for me. Animals are intelligent, have feelings and should be respected. I don’t want to look the other way anymore, especially when it’s not that hard to find alternatives these days where I live.
Thank you, Matthieu Richard! This is a great book for anyone to listen to. Buddhists especially should listen to this. Compassion for all beings needs to include awareness of the harm we impose on animals and taking steps to reduce that harm.
The narration is excellent and easy to listen to.

Brené Brown has spent the past two decades studying the emotions and experiences that give meaning to our lives, and the past seven years working with transformative leaders and teams spanning the globe. She found that leaders in organizations ranging from small entrepreneurial startups and family-owned businesses to nonprofits, civic organizations, and Fortune 50 companies all ask the same question: How do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders, and how do you embed the value of courage in your culture? This audiobook answers this question.

I love this book and will be listening multiple times. I love that the author narrates the book, it makes it more powerful. This is a fantastic book. My medical team utilizes her work to help us collaborate better and grow as people.

Picking up from A Discovery of Witches' cliff-hanger ending, Shadow of Night takes reluctant witch Diana Bishop and vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont on a trip through time to Elizabethan London, where they are plunged into a world of spies, magic, and a coterie of Matthew's old friends, the School of Night. As the search for Ashmole 782—the lost and enchanted manuscript whose mystery first pulled Diana and Matthew into one another's orbit—deepens and Diana seeks out a witch to tutor her in magic, the net of Matthew's past tightens around them.

Excellent narration
Revisado: 08-21-18
The narration is superb. Ikeda brings the characters to life in a wonderful way and has mastered all the various accents. These books made me believe in listening to fiction after a few fiction books who’s narration I could not get in to. Harkness is a wonderful author! I read her books in print some years before listening to this. She is a gem! A historian turned fiction author!!
