Summary

The Art of Controversy (or The Art of Being Right) is a collection of debate formulas written in 1831 by the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. In this book, the author presents methods of gaining an unfair advantage in a debate and thereby being right even if you are wrong. Schopenhauer is a champion in the dialectical argument; in his view, dialectics is wrongly neglected by philosophers in favor of logic.  This work is a handbook of modern debaters like Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

    The Practice and Theory of...

    Though psychologist Alfred Adler (1870-1937) does not have the wider recognition accorded Freud and Jung, his work and ideas had an enduring effect on the practice and development of psychotherapy in the 20th century. This collection of 28 lectures and essays, published under the title The Practice and Theory of Individual Psychology (published in 1924), brings together many of his main ideas. 
    Adler was initially best known for his interest in the inferiority complex and its effect on the personality and subsequent behaviour of individuals. But his focus became increasingly concerned with the particular observation that it was the social environment of individuals that had a more fundamental influence on behavioural patterns than over-arching theories on sex, symbolism, archetypes and the like. He has been described as the first ‘community psychologist.’ This contributed considerably to the growth of schools of psychotherapy in the second half of the 20th century and their proliferation in the 21st. In fact, one historian has commented, “It would not be easy to find another author from which so much has been borrowed on all sides without acknowledgement than Alfred Adler.’ 
    The topics covered in this collection are varied and date from the pre- and post World War I period. It opens with Individual Psychology, its Assumptions and its Results (1914) and includes Individual-Psychological Treatment of Neuroses (1913), The Study of Child Psychology and Neurosis (1913), Nervous Insomnia (1914), Compulsion Neurosis (1918), Dreams and Dream-Interpretation (1912), and Demoralized Children (1920). 
    His range is wide: Among them are essays such as Neurotic Hunger Strike and New Viewpoint of War Neuroses, both concerns that regularly feature in newspapers and public discussion today. As a contrast, he offers interesting observations on the writing of Dostoyevsky, and one particular case of the suicide of a prominent 19th century Austrian politician. 
    This recording also contains (Chapter XIV) the 1918 lecture Homo-sexuality which Adler gave to the Jurististisch-Medizinische Gesellschaft of Zurich. It represents views widely held by the society of the time, which are now unacceptable. The chapter is nevertheless included here for historical purposes.

    "The Age of the Great Whore-Reformation" is not a book for the faint of heart—it's a fearless cultural autopsy. Through biting truth, unapologetic critique, and disturbingly honest analysis, this book explores the modern woman's journey from sexual liberation to spiritual monetization. From Instagram repentance to OnlyFans conversions, from porn star to prophetess, we are witnessing the rise of women who trade lingerie for long skirts—only to wear faith like a brand. 
    This is the brutal tale of performative repentance, where religious imagery replaces erotic content, and "modesty" is sold with the same thirst as sin once was. But more than that, it's a lament for the forgotten faithful—the pure, the disciplined, the unseen women who are ignored while the reformed are rewarded. This book investigates how masculinity must be earned, while femininity is merely reclaimed, repackaged, and sold again. 
    Part social critique, part psychological profile, part spiritual warning—this book dives into:The cultural commodification of redemptionThe new market of religious influencersThe silence of true repentance versus the noise of rebrandingWhy real love, trust, and femininity are disintegratingWhat happens when shame becomes strategy 
    If you've ever asked why the world celebrates the fallen who rise with followers, but never honors the ones who never fell—this is your book. 
    Darkly humorous, dead serious, and disturbingly true—"The Age of the Great Whore-Reformation" holds up a mirror. Whether you see repentance, rebranding, or both is up to you.

    Many people who've experienced trauma tend to blame themselves. This tendency to self-blame often begins in childhood and is carried into adulthood and can manifest in a number of emotional and behavioral problems. You've probably tried to quiet your critical inner voice through avoidance and distraction, only to have the negative self-talk return time and time again to sabotage your self-esteem and interfere with your life. Fortunately, you possess the power to forgive yourself and discover your inner strength. 
     
     
     
    With this workbook, you'll learn proven-effective skills that integrate self-forgiveness with acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), compassion-focused therapy (CFT), functional analytic psychotherapy (FAP), and relational frame theory (RFT). You'll develop the self-compassion and self-acceptance needed to overcome the sense of shame and guilt that's keeping you from a meaningful life. You'll also gain a new perspective on your life's story, empowering you to get in touch with your values and make an ongoing commitment to self-forgiveness. 
     
     
     
    Forgiving yourself does not mean the pain of the past will go away forever, but it can reduce the burden you've placed on yourself. If you're ready to replace self-blame with self-empowerment and self-reliance, this book will be your guide on a journey toward healing and joy.
