Burning Bridges
A Practical Guide to Making Enemies
By Ahmad A. Khan. A cinematic audiobook about honesty — the difference between a bridge that burns by accident and one you finally light yourself.
You cannot burn what you do not fully see.
Chapter One
The book
Eight fires, then the ash.
Listen with cinematic stills that shift as the argument moves. Follow the words as they are spoken. Pause on a sentence. Skip to a chapter. This is the full work — not a summary.
