When two government agents asked Karen Levenson whether she knew any terrorists or was one herself, she couldn’t have been more astonished. Passionately and professionally engaged in the struggle to end Canada’s seal hunt, she considered her efforts to persuade chefs to boycott Canadian seafood, her deep-dive investigation of hunt economics, and her campaign to end animal suffering not only as far from terrorism as possible, but the mission she’d been called upon to do since she was a child.

Best is always temporary. Becoming better as an individual is possible every day. The collective of humanity only rises when the individuals within that collective take personal responsibility to become better each day. Living with a platitude such as live your best life, or do your best, historically, sets up more failed attempts than successful accomplishments. Results require action, not platitudes or soundbites. Knowledge and individual participation are critical for longevity and quality.

Three young circus elephants were unjustly killed - murdered? - during the 31 years between 1885 and 1916. Why? The short answer to "Why?" is that humans with the power of life and death were blinded by self-serving ambition and their acceptance of cruel treatment of wild animals. The freakish, grotesque deaths of three elephants stand as beacons of man's cruelty toward our animal friends, a cruelty that presages man's cruelty toward each other...cruelty that a more compassionate society can and should relegate to the deepest depths of history. Is that too much to ask?

What do we have to do to make India a prosperous country by 2047, the year we will celebrate 100 years of political independence? In this fast-changing world, it is unrealistic to have a concrete 25-year plan. This audiobook thus defines key issues that must be resolved in the next 10 to 15 years (Phase 1) to lay the foundations of prosperity. After that, India can move quickly in the remaining years (Phase 2) of its path to prosperity, taking advantage of opportunities as they arise. These fundamental issues are complex, but the goal is to start a national discussion for solutions.
