Conjectures and Refutations is one of Karl Popper’s most wide-ranging and popular works, notable not only for its acute insights into the way scientific knowledge grows, but also for applying those insights to politics and to history. It provides one of the clearest and most accessible statements of the fundamental idea that guided his work: not only our knowledge but our aims and our standards grow through an unending process of trial and error.

I am so happy this is finally on Audible! I have been searching for this on and off on audible for a long time now, and have been using text-to-speech and YouTube videos to piece together an audio format. Very glad this is here with a full contents list and can sit with my other books. Thank you!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,510
We're in the middle of an epidemic of average. So-called "normal" people get up every day, go to work, do what's asked of them, leave promptly at five, and return home to sit on the couch and watch TV. Society tells us that this is what it means to lead a balanced life. Don't stress too much or work too hard. Your career isn't everything. But Grant Cardone thinks this preoccupation with balance has really just given an excuse to be mediocre.

The Kybalion has long fascinated readers and listeners with its exploration of hermetic wisdom. Credited to the mysterious Three Initiates, The Kybalion is an esoteric classic that has remained popular since its initial publication in 1908. The book explores the seven Hermetic principles - including the principles of causation, mental transmutation, and polarity - and the philosophies it contains became founding ideas in the New Thought movement.

My favourite rendition of Emerson’s essays
Reviewed: 15-06-22
By far the best collection of his essays, as this collection includes those from First Series, Second Series, and Conduct Of Life. I found Bob Neufeld’s narration on YouTube and Librivox, and was definitely worth the purchase on Audible for the ease of use and navigation. His voice does the essays more than justice. Great work; highly recommend. Best collection on Audible.

Story4 out of 5 stars 49
In the early spring of 1845, Henry David Thoreau built and lived in a cabin near the shore of Walden Pond in rural Massachusetts. For the next two years, he enacted his own Transcendentalist experiment, living a simple life based on self-reliance, individualism, and harmony with nature. The journal he kept at that time evolved into his masterwork, Walden, an eloquent expression of a uniquely American philosophy.

This is a great narration of my favourite book ever. The voice fits Thoreau very well. Definitely listen while this is in the audible library, and definitely pay for it if not.

Story5 out of 5 stars 1,721
A vast canvas of camps, prisons, transit centres and secret police, of informers and spies and interrogators but also of everyday heroism, The Gulag Archipelago is Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's grand masterwork. Based on the testimony of some 200 survivors, and on the recollection of Solzhenitsyn's own 11 years in labour camps and exile, it chronicles the story of those at the heart of the Soviet Union who opposed Stalin, and for whom the key to survival lay not in hope but in despair.
