    Offers a philosophical perspective on the nature and value of writing a memoir. 
      
    Artful Truths offers a concise guide to the fundamental philosophical questions that arise when writing a literary work about your own life. Bringing a philosopher’s perspective to a general audience, Helena de Bres addresses what a memoir is, how the genre relates to fiction, memoirists’ responsibilities to their readers and subjects, and the question of why to write a memoir at all. Along the way, she delves into a wide range of philosophical issues, including the nature of the self, the limits of knowledge, the idea of truth, the obligations of friendship, the relationship between morality and art, and the question of what makes a life meaningful. 
      
    Written in a clear and conversational style, it offers a resource for those who write, teach, and study memoirs, as well as those who love to read them. With a combination of literary and philosophical knowledge, de Bres takes the many challenges directed at memoirists seriously, while ultimately standing in defense of a genre that, for all its perplexities—and maybe partly because of them—continually proves to be both beloved and valuable.

    "I'm here to put the internationals in order. I'm in charge here. Too many people showed up at the center and they had no business being there.” These are the words of an American instructor, met by Régis Le Sommier at the beginning of the war when all the media was minimizing the role of the United States in Ukraine.
    Régis Le Sommier is the only war reporter to have gone to both sides of the front line with the Ukrainian and Russian armies for a year. He worked for Paris-Match for 30 years and received several awards for his journalism. Odessa, Kherson, Zaporizhia, Mariupol, Donetsk, Lugansk, Donbass and Bakhmut—are all war zones where the journalist has captured the truth of the reality on the ground. This is a raw book, a book from the level of the men, far from the hazy analyses of armchair specialists.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Most people walk through life using instinct, emotion and survival patterns they never consciously chose. They repeat the same loops, fall into the same reactions and live inside identities built from old experiences rather than future possibilities. The Clarity Codes was written to change that. 
    This book reveals the psychological operating system behind your mind-the unseen structures, emotional algorithms and behavioural patterns that shape how you think, feel, act and evolve. Instead of motivational clichés, you get real mechanisms: how the brain forms loops, how emotions hijack logic, how habits embed into identity, how trauma becomes a pattern and how the mind can be retrained with precision. 
    Across its chapters, you’ll learn how to calm mental noise, regulate emotional floods, dissolve cognitive distortions, stop self-sabotage, rewire patterns, break cycles of avoidance and build a self-image that naturally creates better choices. Each concept comes with simple, direct tools you can use immediately-no jargon, no fluff, just clarity. 
    The book now includes three practical Clarity Protocols designed for different timeframes: a 30-minute reset, a 3-hour reset and a 3-week transformation plan, so you can apply the principles in the way that fits your life. 
    You will learn how to: 
    • interrupt overthinking without fighting thoughts 
    • dissolve anxiety loops using cognitive and physical resets 
    • stop emotional spirals before they take over 
    • shift identity through small, repeatable actions 
    • build habits that stick because they match who you are becoming 
    • navigate relationships with clarity instead of reaction 
    • process experiences without being overwhelmed 
    • design your future self with intention rather than hope 
    By the end, you will gain something most people never receive: a clear internal map for being human.

    The Arab Spring, a series of pro-democracy uprisings, protests, and revolutions that swept across the Arab world beginning in late 2010, marked a significant turning point in the modern history of the Middle East. The movement, which began in Tunisia and quickly spread to other countries including Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Syria, and Bahrain, was driven by widespread discontent with authoritarian regimes, economic inequality, and a lack of political freedoms. The Arab Spring was not a single, unified event but rather a collection of distinct yet interconnected uprisings fueled by both longstanding grievances and immediate catalysts. It highlighted the power of ordinary citizens in challenging deeply entrenched political systems, showing the world that the will for change could be powerful even in the face of brutal government repression. 
    The Arab Spring began on December 17, 2010, when Mohamed Bouazizi, a street vendor in Tunisia, set himself on fire in protest of police harassment and government corruption. His act of desperation sparked mass protests throughout Tunisia, which eventually led to the ousting of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in January 2011. This success encouraged similar uprisings in neighboring countries, particularly in Egypt, where mass protests in Cairo’s Tahrir Square forced President Hosni Mubarak to resign after 30 years in power. These initial successes ignited a wave of hope across the Arab world that authoritarian regimes could be overthrown and democratic reforms could be achieved.

    Egyptian mythology forms the foundation of one of the most influential and enduring civilizations in human history. Rich with symbolism, these myths provided a framework through which the ancient Egyptians understood the universe, nature, and the spiritual world. Unlike other mythologies that may have developed primarily through folklore, Egyptian mythology was closely tied to religious practices and rituals that were integral to the culture. Its stories feature a pantheon of gods and goddesses, each with specific roles, attributes, and symbolic meanings, governing aspects of life, death, nature, and the cosmos. These divine beings were more than just mythological figures; they were living forces present in the daily lives of Egyptians, influencing their actions, decisions, and the very fabric of their society. 
      
    The mythological narratives of Egypt often revolved around cosmic battles between order and chaos, cycles of death and rebirth, and the journey of the soul. These stories were not only entertainment but also served as explanations for natural phenomena, like the yearly flooding of the Nile, the movement of the stars, or the transitions between day and night. Mythology also justified the divine right of the pharaohs, who were considered to be the living embodiments of gods on Earth, specifically the god Horus. By linking mythology with the ruling class, ancient Egyptians reinforced the authority of their leaders and established a divine connection that was essential to their social and political structure. Through sacred texts, temple inscriptions, and monumental architecture, these myths have been preserved, allowing us to glimpse into a world where gods and mortals coexisted in a harmonious balance.
