Synopsis

Dancing for Survival explores the profound role of dance, not just as art, but as a vital tool for human resilience across history. From war zones to times of economic crises, dance emerges as a potent coping mechanism, a means of economic support, and a form of political protest. The book reveals how this performing art has served as a strategy for confronting and overcoming life-threatening challenges. One intriguing fact is dance's historical use in appeasing warring gods, while another is its contemporary application in challenging social injustice, highlighting its enduring adaptability.

 
The book progresses by first introducing dance as a survival tool across psychological, economic, and political dimensions. It then uses specific case studies to show its impact in war-torn regions, deprived areas, and as a vehicle for social change. This approach emphasizes that dance is an essential human practice, contributing to both physical and psychological well-being, and urges a reassessment of its value, especially during times of turmoil, offering insights into fostering resilience and promoting social justice in contemporary society.

Be Your Best Self - The Official...

Anonyme

Based on Mike Bayer’s New York Times bestseller Best Self, a motivational, do-it-yourself workbook teaching you how to reinvent your life and live every day as your Best Self.

In Best Self, Mike Bayer, known to his fans and followers as Coach Mike, empowered his listeners to embrace authenticity, break through obstacles, and discover the freedom to be their best selves. By working through each of the Seven SPHERES of life—Social, Personal, Health, Education, Relationships, Employment, and Spiritual Development—Coach Mike distilled his wisdom into a focused guide to get real results. Now, Coach Mike, a regular on The Dr. Phil Show, expands upon his tried-and-true strategy for igniting change and shows you how to design a life that is deeply fulfilling.
In this fully interactive workbook, Coach Mike builds on the revealing quizzes, provocative questionnaires, and paradigm-shifting prompts he introduced in Best Self. Using his important but tough questions and exercises, he can help anyone see what their Best Selves and Anti-Selves really look like. The truth is, we all show up in slightly different ways within each of our seven SPHERES. We behave differently when we are in “parenting” mode, versus “career” mode, and so on. That’s to be expected to a degree, but where we run into trouble is when we aren’t always acting as our Best Self within all of our SPHERES. This workbook helps the reader discover personalized strategies for consistently staying connected to and behaving authentically within each SPHERE, because if we aren’t, then we run the risk of getting way out of balance in some areas of our lives.
As a mental health specialist, a personal development coach, and an all-around change agent, Coach Mike understands our struggles intimately, because he’s faced—and overcome—his own. With this essential handbook, he makes you see that change is possible.
Be Your Best Self will give listeners the tools to build a better life, in real-time.
Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Anarchism: What It Really Stands...

Emma Goldman

Emma Goldman (1869 – 1940) was an anarchist political activist and writer. She played a pivotal role in the development of anarchist political philosophy in North America and Europe in the first half of the 20th century. 
In this essay, (1910) Goldman sets forth her interpretation of the ideology of anarchism. Like most anarchists, she was highly idealistic; believing that human nature was inherently good, she was convinced that a state of absolute freedom would maximize human happiness and productivity. Here she enumerates the many constraints — including religion, property, law and government — that she sees as limiting the individual's liberty. She claims that anarchism stands for a social order based on the free grouping of individuals for the purpose of producing real social wealth, an order that will guarantee to every human being free access to the earth and full enjoyment of the necessities of life.
