Sinossi

Weirdest Beauty Trends explores the captivating and sometimes shocking history of beauty standards across cultures and eras. The book delves into unconventional beauty practices, revealing how social, economic, and psychological forces shape our perceptions of attractiveness. Readers will discover bizarre beauty rituals from ancient civilizations, like the use of lead-based cosmetics in ancient Rome, which highlights the detrimental health consequences of pursuing certain beauty ideals. By examining these extreme beauty trends, the book sheds light on the power of societal influence and encourages a critical examination of contemporary beauty standards and body positivity.

 
The book uniquely combines historical analysis with a critical look at today's beauty culture and the beauty industry. It progresses thematically, beginning with foundational concepts of beauty as a social construct and moving through various historical periods and beauty practices, such as extreme tanning. By drawing on historical accounts, medical records, sociological studies, and anthropological research, Weirdest Beauty Trends empowers readers to make informed choices about their own beauty practices, reject harmful ideals, and cultivate a more positive body image.

    Everyone knows that meditation is good for us. Every doctor, psychologists, fitness teacher and even your friends and neighbors tell you so. Maybe, you yourself are practicing meditation for long. 
    Despite the increased popularity of meditation practices, the modern meditation systems primarily focusing on psychological and physical well-being are only partially successful. Moreover, very few meditation practitioners aim at attaining self-awareness or the status of super consciousness.  
     The Author emphasizes that physical and mental health are only additional benefits, or byproducts of meditation and the aim should be much higher. For this, we need to understand the original meditation systems explained in traditional gems of books, including Patanjali Yog Sutra, Vedas, and Upanishads.  
    Meditation is second stage of Internal part of Yoga. It needs successful completion and control of earlier six stages. Currently, most of the Yoga gurus, in order to simplify the process, do not stress on this requirement.  
    While five internal parts of the Yoga (Yama, Niyama, Aasan, Pranayam and Pratihar) may be practiced outside, or among a group; there is need to perform the three internal stages of Dharana, Dhyan (Meditation) and Samadhi in a secluded place. 
    Result is that we get a fast food type Meditation, mostly ignoring basic stages and stopping at the Pratyahar stage providing mental calmness and health benefits. 
    Very few reach the Meditation stage and then goal of meditation, i.e., attaining the stage of super consciousness is forgotten. 
    The book explains the process in very simple way. The series of books also expounds the 32 Brahm Vidyas, wisdom extracted from major Upanishads. We find eleven such wisdom here in first part of the book, ideal starting point for meditation.

    Harness your emotions and negotiate effectively for a healthier post-divorce future.Your emotions don’t have to be a liability. When properly understood, your feelings during a divorce can be invaluable guides to fair settlements, better communication, and a brighter future. Through candid client stories and step-by-step exercises, veteran divorce attorney and experienced mediator Katherine Miller helps you turn emotional turmoil into a negotiation advantage—so you can walk away with a settlement that respects both your needs and your future.Miller reframes the divorce process as an emotional transition rather than just a legal battle and adapts business negotiation techniques to untangling the knot of shared finances, parenting, and identity. She exposes the hidden traps couples often fall into and teaches you to recognize what truly matters so you can preserve your mental well-being. Then she shifts to a practical deep dive on how to negotiate effectively: how to identify your core interests, leverage your emotions at the bargaining table, and handle high-conflict situations without escalating tensions. With insights into proposal structuring and conflict resolution techniques, Miller guides you toward a final agreement that feels equitable and respects everyone involved.By placing empathy and strategy on equal footing, The Emotionally Savvy Divorce offers a fresh, humane approach to dissolving a marriage. Drawing from her substantial background in collaborative law and mediation, Katherine Miller delivers a blueprint for a clean break—one where you stay true to yourself, keep your family’s best interests at heart, and come away with a settlement that supports a stable future. If you’re facing divorce and want to stay in control—of your emotions, your negotiations, and your future—this book will give you the tools to navigate the toughest conversations and secure a settlement that truly works for you.
