    Thinking of Spain as a modern nation state today distorts the complicated reality that the Iberian Peninsula faced in the past. Spain was a nation in progress, consisting of regions united under the Spanish crown, but with strong regional identities based on different historical and cultural experiences. The largest entities were the kingdoms of León and Castile, but Spain also included the kingdoms of Navarre, Andalusia, Granada, Jaén, Aragon, and Valencia. There were also the principalities of Asturias and Catalonia, the lordship of Vizcaya, and both Guipúzcoa and Alava were “exempted provinces.” Navarre, Aragon, and Catalonia had separate Cortes, which were versions of parliaments (Parker 18-19). This complex system of entities granted privilege to local power structures over the concept of a unified nation and made administration difficult, because there were few standards that applied to all of Spain. Many of the regions had special laws that respected and allowed traditional institutions, administrative patterns, and cultural patterns. These local and regional rights were called fueros and were fiercely defended against centralization. The fueros originated as rights agreed to when the regions joined the Spanish crown. Before becoming king, the king-designate had to swear to maintain and respect the fueros. This meant that the rights of the king were to a considerable extent limited. 
    Inevitably, liberals and centralizing monarchs alike tried to change the situation over the years, which produced political tensions. The Carlists promised to maintain the older system, which is why they were so firmly backed in the Basque regions by most of the peasants and nobility. The Carlist claimants were strong Catholics and were strongly supported by the Church, and thus by the more fervently Catholic portions of the population.

    What if you could dive deeply within and understand why you interpret the world the way you do and behave a certain way in different situations? What if you could see, with vivid clarity, the unpolished aspects of someone’s character when making critical decisions involving them? Imagine the difference this would make when choosing your life partner, business partner, next employee, future employer or governing leaders. 
    In HUMAN BEING – illuminating the reality beneath the facade, Ashkan Tashvir supports you to adopt an ontological (‘let’s get real’) approach to understanding human beings – yourself and others. It follows his best-selling book, BEING, in which he deeply examines a radical paradigm he engineered after a decade of intensive studies called the Being Framework™ and the philosophy behind it. Explored in this book in a clear, tangible way, the Being Framework zooms in on, breaks down and articulates the qualities behind and drivers of our decisions, behaviours and actions. 
    Whether you are building a career, a startup, a family, a relationship or an organisation, this book provides you with the tools to identify and transform the elusive root causes behind the blockages holding you back and gives you a lens to observe the same in others. Ultimately, it supports you to prioritise your intentions, express your authentic self, enjoy successful relationships and lead a life of influence, well-being and fulfilment. Discover how to see through your and others’ Being by decoding the fundamental qualities that influence our behaviours and decisions and drive our results.

    If you've experienced profound loss, you may feel numb, disoriented, or despondent. The last thing you want to hear is that "time heals all wounds." It sounds like an empty promise—one that negates the importance of what has passed. The truth is that you may never fully heal—and that is okay. You can still go on to live a rich, meaningful, and vibrant life. This gentle guide will help you transform the overwhelming sadness of grief into validation, hope, and personal growth. 
     
    In this book, psychotherapist and death doula Alex Mammadyarov presents a step-by-step, comprehensive, and transformative process to help you cultivate present moment awareness, resilience, and self-compassion after the life-altering shock of a significant loss. You'll learn to ride the ebbs and flows of grief that rear up in the midst of painful anniversaries and events—so you can navigate your new reality, relieve suffering, and grow. You'll also find comfort and clarity as you face the challenges of our insensitive, "get over it" culture that prevents you from being fully seen during this difficult time. 
     
    It's time for a new way of looking at grief—one that is honest and vulnerable, and honors what's been lost. With this profound guide, you'll learn to grow around your grief—instead of moving past it—to create more meaning, purpose, and connection.
