  The speech "The Strenuous Life" by Theodore Roosevelt, is one of his most famous and enduring speeches. Delivered in Chicago on April 10, 1899, to the Hamilton Club, it served as a call to action for Americans to embrace hard work, duty, and perseverance as the foundation of a prosperous and strong nation. Roosevelt argued against a life of ease and inactivity, believing that such a life led to individual and national decay. Instead, he championed the virtues of hard work, physical strength, and moral integrity as essential to both personal fulfillment and the success of the country.Roosevelt's speech is imbued with the spirit of American exceptionalism and manifest destiny, urging Americans to take up the "strenuous life" of active engagement in domestic and foreign affairs. He saw the challenges of his time—such as the frontier's closing, industrialization, and the United States' emergence as a world power—as opportunities for Americans to demonstrate their resilience and pioneering spirit.The speech also reflects Roosevelt's beliefs in imperialism and American expansionism, which were influential in his advocacy for the United States' role in the Spanish-American War and its aftermath, including the annexation of territories like Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines. Roosevelt argued that the strenuous life was not only about personal achievement but also about national duty and the moral obligation to bring American values and civilization to what he considered less developed parts of the world."The Strenuous Life" speech is emblematic of Roosevelt's larger body of work and philosophy, combining his advocacy for personal virtue with a vision of American global leadership. It remains a touchstone for discussions on American identity, values, and foreign policy.

  The Origins of Elected Strongmen...

  Since the end of World War II, democracies typically fell apart by coup d'état or through force. Today, however, they are increasingly eroding at the hands of democratically elected incumbents, who seize control by slowly chipping away at democratic institutions. To better understand these developments, this book examines the role of personalist political parties, or parties that exist primarily to further their leader's career as opposed to promote a specific policy platform. Using original data capturing levels of personalism in the parties of democratically elected leaders from 1991 to 2020, The Origins of Elected Strongmen shows that the rise of personalist parties around the globe is facilitating the decline of democracy. 
   
   
   
  Personalist parties lack both the incentive and capacity to push back against a leader's efforts to expand executive power. As such, leaders backed by personalist parties are more likely to succeed in their efforts to dismantle institutional constraints on their rule. Such attacks on state institutions, in turn, reverberate throughout society, deepening political polarization and weakening supporters' commitment to democratic norms of behavior. In these ways, ruling party personalism erodes horizontal and vertical constraints on a leader, ultimately degrading democracy and raising the risk of democratic failure.

  A Stalker's Brain - The...

  Obsession is often mistaken for love. The idea of someone being unable to stop thinking about you, watching your every move, and doing whatever it takes to be close may sound romantic in books and movies, but in reality, it is anything but. Stalking is not about love—it is about control, possession, and a dangerous detachment from reality. This book delves deep into the psychology of obsession, the minds of stalkers, and the devastating impact they have on their victims.  
    
  Stalking is not a new phenomenon, nor is it limited to any specific demographic. From rejected lovers to strangers who become fixated on a public figure, stalking takes many forms. Some stalkers believe they are destined to be with their victims, while others seek revenge or dominance. Many operate under elaborate delusions, convinced that their actions are justified. Understanding these obsessive minds requires an exploration of psychology, trauma, and the social factors that contribute to such behavior.  
    
  With the rise of technology, stalking has evolved. The internet has made it easier than ever for stalkers to track, harass, and manipulate their victims from a distance. Social media provides a constant stream of personal information, and modern surveillance tools have turned everyday life into an open book for those determined enough to pry. What once required physical proximity can now be achieved with just a few clicks. Digital stalking is no less terrifying than its physical counterpart—it is often the gateway to something even more dangerous.

  About the Book 
  Many have compared the “Roaring Twenties” from the last century, to the 2020s of the 21st century.

One certainty, no matter how the new economic, political, and social structures will evolve, is the appearance of bad actors that will continue to use cyber warfare and cyber insecurity to their benefit. This book details in an easy-to-read format how we can best protect our “life, liberty and pursuit of happiness” in our new digital age.
