About this audiobook
Inside the Shaolin Body, the Brain and the Heart have stopped communicating—and started throwing punches.
Master Cortex believes logic should rule. Lady Pulse knows feelings refuse to kneel. Between them stands Ragus, the sweet-talking trickster who turns fear into profit, pain into craving, and every misunderstanding into another fight.
In twenty cinematic stories, emotions become martial-arts masters, thoughts carry weapons, memories attack from behind, hierarchy climbs a staircase it never built, and an atomic fist waits for someone angry enough to press the button. Master Breath teaches the power of the pause, Monk Sleep repairs the nightly damage, and Groundsman Gravity sweeps up after everyone who thinks they are above the floor.
Wild, funny, philosophical, and visually explosive, RAGUS: THE KUNG FU INSIDE US transforms the battle between thought and feeling into a kung-fu epic. The enemy is not the Brain or the Heart. It is whatever profits by keeping them divided.
