  A chance encounter, a road accident, an air crash, a hold-up at a bank:How do such events connect people?How do people see the situations from their different perspectives?Three narrative strands follow the lives of three individuals – Peter, Cathy and Ivan – through the second half of the 20th century, from post-war austerity and mediocrity in the 1950s and 1960s to the fast-moving life-style of the present decade, whereby the plot is embedded in real events of the period. The three biographies intersect at crucial points, which reveals their internal landscapes and the different ways of understanding reality. Things are not always what they seem, and we do not always know the whole truth.Playing with various time-levels, this novel of the mind deals primarily with potential fallacies of perception, sexual awakening, emotional exploitation and the proximity of death.How do we store the memorable events in our lives?And how do we cope with these memories as we grow older?

    Suffering
    How Can We Help
  
   
  Ram Dass explains that we must first acknowledge our humanity, if we hope to be an instrument of presence and peace. When we embrace our humanness, we create the space necessary for compassion to arise. We learn to balance the suffering we encounter with the innate empathy of the human heart. We awaken through our life experiences, which become the curriculum for our incarnation. Our humanity itself is the vehicle through which our spirit can manifest. The help we offer is who we are, our very being.
   
  Ram Dass asks us to consider the ways in which our culture’s pervading myth of unbridled individualism has generated the destabilizing forces confronting us. "Injustice is rooted in a frightened heart."To remain open to the tremendous suffering we encounter requires an exquisite balance of the rational mind and intuitive heart. Ram Dass' exploration of practical methods for expanding our awareness without closing our hearts offers a blueprint for how we might navigate an ever-changing universe and return home to that quality of being where there is only one of us.

  Emotional Exploitation - Taking...

  Cito Harder

  Emotional exploitation is a subtle yet deeply damaging form of manipulation that preys on a person's emotions to serve the interests of another. Unlike mutual emotional support, which fosters healthy relationships and personal growth, exploitation involves using someone’s feelings, vulnerabilities, or insecurities to gain control, compliance, or advantage. This can occur in personal relationships, the workplace, and even society at large, leaving individuals feeling powerless, confused, and emotionally drained. Understanding emotional exploitation is crucial to recognizing its effects, breaking free from its grasp, and preventing future manipulation. 
  At its core, emotional exploitation thrives on imbalance. The exploiter takes advantage of another person’s emotional investment, whether it be love, trust, guilt, or fear, while offering little or nothing in return. This dynamic can manifest in many ways, such as a friend who constantly seeks emotional support but disappears when others need help, a romantic partner who uses guilt to control decisions, or an employer who manipulates workers into unpaid overtime by making them feel obligated or ungrateful. Regardless of the setting, the pattern remains the same—one person’s emotions are weaponized to serve another’s self-interest. 
  One of the most harmful aspects of emotional exploitation is that it is often difficult to recognize while it is happening. Many individuals who are exploited rationalize the behavior of their manipulator, believing they are simply helping, being loyal, or fulfilling an obligation. Exploiters frequently use gaslighting, guilt-tripping, or shifting blame to make their targets question their own perceptions.

  The Short Life and Curious Death...

  Named one of Newsweek’s ""25 Must-Read Fall Fiction and Nonfiction Books to Escape the Chaos of 2020"" 
  The critically acclaimed journalist and bestselling author of The Rage of a Privileged Class explores one of the most essential rights in America—free speech—and reveals how it is crumbling under the combined weight of polarization, technology, money and systematized lying in this concise yet powerful and timely book. 
   
  Free speech has long been one of American's most revered freedoms. Yet now, more than ever, free speech is reshaping America’s social and political landscape even as it is coming under attack. Bestselling author and critically acclaimed journalist Ellis Cose wades into the debate to reveal how this Constitutional right has been coopted by the wealthy and politically corrupt.  
  It is no coincidence that historically huge disparities in income have occurred at times when moneyed interests increasingly control political dialogue. Over the past four years, Donald Trump’s accusations of “fake news,” the free use of negative language against minority groups, “cancel culture,” and blatant xenophobia have caused Americans to question how far First Amendment protections can—and should—go. 
  Cose offers an eye-opening wholly original examination of the state of free speech in America today, litigating ideas that touch on every American’s life. Social media meant to bring us closer, has become a widespread disseminator of false information keeping people of differing opinions and political parties at odds. The nation—and world—watches in shock as white nationalism rises, race and gender-based violence spreads, and voter suppression widens. The problem, Cose makes clear, is that ordinary individuals have virtually no voice at all. He looks at the danger of hyper-partisanship and how the discriminatory structures that determine representation in the Senate and the electoral college threaten the very concept of democracy. He argues that the safeguards built into the Constitution to protect free speech and democracy have instead become instruments of suppression by an unfairly empowered political minority. 
  But we can take our rights back, he reminds us. Analyzing the experiences of other countries, weaving landmark court cases together with a critical look at contemporary applications, and invoking the lessons of history, including the Great Migration, Cose sheds much-needed light on this cornerstone of American culture and offers a clarion call for activism and change.
