When one particular craving is satisfied, another one arises. And to produce ever-renewed sensations, we blindly produce ever-new needs that clamour to be satisfied. If all our needs were made subject to a careful analysis, we should find out that the vast majority of them are superfluous and artificially produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"iframe-container\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1142245487?quality=1080p\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center; margin-top: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbutton type=\"button\" class=\"btn\"\u003eDownload Single File (15MB)\u003c\/button\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbutton type=\"button\" class=\"btn\"\u003eDownload Chapters (15MB)\u003c\/button\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/dc-UBey2X6g\" id=\"youtube_link\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView on YouTube\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/audiobooks\"\u003eCheck out our complete audiobook catalog.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eWe are grateful to the volunteers who offered their time and skills creating this product so that we can offer it freely.
