The Girl in the Gold Bikini: My Turbulent Journey Through Food and Family

"After 40 years of trying to find happiness at the bottom of a bag of potato chips, author Dana Goldstein finally snapped. A lifetime of diets, denial, and bad relationship choices caused her weight to rise and fall, and challenged her confidence. Once she was in her 40s, Dana realized that 'HELL, YES!' people liked who she was, that she no longer had to listen to the hurtful words of others, and that her weight issues were tied to emotions. What started as an autobiography vilifying those who had tried to crush her dreams or tell her she deserved less in life, turned into an examination of her relationship with food. Dana has some great stories to tell around her experiences with food: her great-grandmother's hidden candy stash; her Italian adventure with ordering off-menu; her successful weight loss while in a horrible relationship; her inability to stop eating her own fresh-baked cookies. Join Dana on her journey through all the bad habits, culinary delights, and triumphs that tell the story of her life so far."

The Yoga Of Love Baba Ram Dass & Neem Karoli Baba

"'Money should be used to help others.” 'Attachment is the strongest block to realization.” 'Love is the strongest medicine.' Neem Karoli Baba Known to his followers as Maharaj, Neem Karoli Baba was a noted guru, mystic and devotee of Lord Hanuman. Here is the essence of his remarkable life and teachings. He is known outside India for being the spiritual master of a number of Americans who travelled to India in the 1960s and 70s, the most well-known being spiritual teachers Ram Dass and Bhagavan Das, as well as musicians Krishna Das and Jai Uttal. His popular ashrams are in Kainchi, Vrindavan, Rishikesh, Shimla, Neem Karoli village, Lucknow, Delhi and Taos, New Mexico. Dr. Richard Alpert, a former Harvard professor and Timothy Leary cohort, was an icon of the hippie, LSD-fueled revolution of the 1960s. Thereafter, on a trip to India - like Clark Kent changing into Superman - he became the much-beloved spiritual teacher Baba Ram Das. His 1970s' iconic book 'Be Here Now' turned on a generation to the deep, non-sectarian spirituality within us all. Author Jagannatha Dasa became friends with Ram Das in the early '70s and traveled across America, playing Indian drums at his speaking engagements. During that time, the two discussed the publication of some of his lectures, but nothing was ever done. Now, finally, after all these years, Jagannatha Dasa keeps his promise to his old friend, publishing this original audio history of one of our most inspired and cherished spiritual teachers."

CHANGE: The Metamorphosis of Life

"This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. What happens when everything you once chased — success, recognition, power — no longer brings meaning? In this poetic and deeply human memoir, André Bianchi traces the arc of a life that many would call accomplished. From a gifted childhood to global executive roles, from elite universities to luxurious homes, he had it all. And yet, beneath the surface, something essential was missing. Change didn’t come all at once. It arrived in waves — through crises, choices, silence, and surrender. Across 17 soul-stirring chapters, Bianchi shares the moments that reshaped him: • A mysterious intuition in childhood • A passion for martial arts and mysticism in youth • The seduction of corporate power — and its quiet emptiness • Fatherhood, burnout, and the call of nature • A radical shift toward simplicity, stillness, and true purpose This is not a book about changing the world. It’s a book about changing yourself — from the inside out. Written with elegance and vulnerability, Change invites the reader to slow down, reflect, and ask the deeper questions: Who am I beneath the roles I play? What does it mean to live fully — not just successfully? And what if transformation is not becoming someone new… but finally remembering who you are? If you’ve ever felt the quiet pull to start again — to trade noise for truth — this book is for you."
