Summary

In "The Theory of Moral Sentiments," Adam Smith delves into the intricacies of human morality, exploring the frameworks of sympathy, ethics, and human behavior that underpin social interactions. Written in a style that marries philosophical discourse with psychological inquiry, Smith's seminal work offers a profound examination of the inherent tendencies of human beings toward empathy and judgment. Set against the backdrop of the Enlightenment, this text not only critiques prevailing moral theories but also establishes a foundation for the moral philosophy that would later influence economic thought, culminating in his magnum opus, "The Wealth of Nations." Adam Smith, often hailed as the father of modern economics, was profoundly influenced by the intellectual currents of his time, particularly in moral philosophy. Engaging with the ideas of contemporaries such as David Hume and Rousseau, Smith sought to reconcile individual self-interest with collective well-being, reflecting his deep concern for social harmony. His personal experiences and observations on human relationships undoubtedly shaped his insights into the moral sentiments that govern human interactions. For those interested readers seeking a deeper understanding of morality's role in society and the foundations of ethical behavior, "The Theory of Moral Sentiments" is essential. With its rich philosophical inquiries and poignant reflections, the book remains a cornerstone of moral philosophy, offering timeless insights relevant in an increasingly complex world.

    Living with AuDHD is like being a unicorn—misunderstood, contradictory, and often invisible to others. You shine with creativity and innovation, but struggle to fit in - always feeling 'too much'. Autism and ADHD pull you in opposite directions, creating a lifetime of contradictions no one else can see. 
AuDHD isn’t listed in diagnostic manuals because until 2013, you couldn’t be diagnosed with both conditions - despite a co-occurrence rate of approximately 50-70%. These two neurotypes often clash, like opposing magnets in the brain.ADHD craves novelty; autism resists change.ADHD misses details; autism hyper-focuses on them.ADHD perceives time as ‘now or not now’; autism sticks rigidly to schedules.ADHD seeks stimulation; autism is easily overwhelmed.ADHD thrives in chaos; autism needs structure.ADHD says yes; autism says no.Autism makes the rules, ADHD breaks them.If you’re exhausted reading this, just imagine what it’s like to live it. 
Leanne Maskell was diagnosed with ADHD at 25, but it took 7 more years to learn she was also autistic. AuDHD: Blooming Differently chronicles her turbulent journey—from a childhood of vulnerability and trauma to a high-achieving model and lawyer, outwardly successful but inwardly struggling. 
The book exposes the relentless burnout of not understanding your brain and the power of self-awareness in finally thriving. Today, Leanne is a successful author, coach, and National Specialist Coach of the Year. 
More than just a memoir, this book offers practical insights for AuDHD individuals and those who support them—essential for psychiatrists, educators, and anyone seeking to understand neurodivergence. 
With lived experience and professional expertise, AuDHD: Blooming Differently is an honest and transformative guide to rewriting the neurodivergent narrative.

    In the early 1960s, a peaceful world was an imaginable goal. The United Nations was widely respected and regarded as humankind's best hope for resolving global conflicts. African and Asian nations, having recently won their freedom from colonial domination, sought dignity and influence on the world stage. At the helm of their efforts was U Thant, a practicing Buddhist from a remote town in Burma who, as the UN's first non-Western secretary-general, became the Cold War era's preeminent ambassador of peace. From the moment of his predecessor's death in 1961, Thant faced a deluge of violent conflicts. Crucially, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, he played an indispensable role in defusing tensions and helping both superpowers find a way back from nuclear confrontation. For years Thant also challenged Washington over its war in Vietnam, identifying paths to peace that could have saved the lives of millions. 
  
Drawing on newly declassified documents, Thant's grandson, historian Thant Myint-U, gives a riveting account of how his grandfather's gentle yet willful disposition shaped his determination to avoid a third world war, give voice to the newly decolonized world, create a fairer international economy, and safeguard the environment. Rather than a vestige of an idealistic past, U Thant's fight for peace is central to a fresh understanding of our world today.
