The Adventures of Buster Bear by Thornton W. Burgess audiobook.

Genre: family

Buster Bear is big, strong, and far too curious for his own good - and in the Green Forest and the Green Meadows, curiosity has a way of attracting trouble. While Old Mother Bear warns her young cub to stay out of danger, Buster cannot resist testing his strength, sniffing out easy meals, and wandering where he does not belong. His prowling brings him into uneasy contact with the watchful forest neighbors who know his reputation: nimble Peter Rabbit, sharp-eyed Johnny Chuck, sneaky Reddy Fox, and other familiar creatures who must decide whether to hide, outwit him, or stand their ground. But the wild has threats even a bear must respect, and the farms at the forest's edge offer temptations that come with real risks. As rumors of Buster's movements ripple through the woods, a lively chain of chases, narrow escapes, and clever warnings unfolds, mixing humor with gentle lessons about caution, responsibility, and respecting other creatures' homes. Thornton W. Burgess turns a simple bear's misadventures into a warm, fast-moving tale that invites listeners to see the natural world as a community full of voices, rules, and surprises.

The Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science by Thomas Troward audiobook.

Genre: self help

Thomas Troward was a divisional Judge in British-administered India. His avocation was the study of comparative religion. Influences on his thinking, as well as his later writing, included the teachings of Christ, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. After his retirement from the judiciary in 1896, Troward set out to apply logic and a judicial weighing of evidence in the study of matters of cause and effect.

The philosopher William James characterized Troward’s Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science as 'far and away the ablest statement of philosophy I have met, beautiful in its sustained clearness of thought and style, a really classic statement.'

According to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) archivist Nell Wing, early AA members were strongly encouraged to read Thomas Troward's Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science. In the opening of the 2006 film The Secret , introductory remarks credit Troward's philosophy with inspiring the movie and its production.

The Adventures of Poor Mrs. Quack by Thornton W. Burgess audiobook.

Genre: fantasy

'Hello, Jerry Muskrat! We'd forgotten all about you,' said Mrs. Quack. 'What was that you said?' Jerry good-naturedly repeated what he had said. Mrs. Quack's face brightened. 'Do you really mean it?' she asked eagerly. 'Do you really mean that you know of a pond where we could live and not be likely to be seen by these two-legged creatures called men?' 'That's what I said,' replied Jerry briefly. 'Oh, Jerry, you're not joking, are you? Tell me you're not joking,' begged Mrs. Quack. 'Of course I'm not joking,' returned Jerry just a little bit indignantly, 'I am not the kind of a fellow to joke people who are in such trouble as you and Mr. Quack seem to be in.'
