Inca Empire The: An Enthralling...

Billy Wellman

Did you know that the Incas worshiped the mummies of their emperors?
For the Incas, death didn’t exist; it simply took the dead to a different plane of life. So, the mummies of their emperors were treated as people; they were given food and drink and even visited each other ceremoniously. They also owned country estates, which generated enough profits to keep them in the style to which they were accustomed.
This might sound like a curiosity, but this form of ancestor worship was central to the Inca culture and to the history of the Inca Empire, which stretched from Ecuador and Colombia in the north to Chile in the south.
Everyone has seen pictures of one of the Incas’ greatest achievements: the mountain-top wonder of Machu Picchu. But Inca history has always been told by the Spanish colonizers who conquered them since the Inca had no formal writing. Now, archaeology is giving us more information on how the Inca really lived, helping us differentiate real history from myth and propaganda.
In this audiobook, you will discover how the Inca created an expansive empire in just a century and why that civilization crumbled so fast once the Spanish arrived.
You’ll also discover the following:How the Inca civilization developed out of a number of preceding cultures in the Andes and Peruvian coast;How quickly the Incas were able to expand and why they needed to;How the empire was administered and how runners were able to take messages from one end of it to the other with remarkable speed;The amazing Inca infrastructure program, which included building roads through mountain ranges and across raging rivers;Why Inca cuisine included tasty guinea pigs and llama jerky;And so much more!

10-Minute Summary of "EMOTIONAL...

Daniel Goleman

In his book “Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ”, Daniel Goleman explores the importance of emotional skills in personal, professional, and social life. He argues that emotional intelligence (EI) is a crucial factor for success and well-being, often more influential than intelligence quotient (IQ). 
Through examples, case studies, and scientific analysis, Goleman breaks down the components of EI and its impact on various aspects of life, challenging the traditional view that separates reason from emotion and emphasizing the need to integrate both in education and society.  
Additionally, Goleman examines how emotional intelligence influences decision-making. According to him, emotions play a crucial role in the decision-making process, helping us quickly assess situations and make decisions based on past experiences. 
For example, “emotional hijacking” is a phenomenon in which the amygdala, a part of the brain associated with emotions, takes control and triggers impulsive responses before the neocortex, the brain's rational part, can fully process the information. While useful in emergencies, this mechanism can lead to hasty decisions in modern contexts.  
Goleman also discusses the importance of emotional intelligence in preventing antisocial and criminal behaviors. According to the author, many problematic behaviors, such as aggression and delinquency, are linked to low emotional intelligence. 
People who lack emotional skills often struggle to manage their impulses and empathize with others, which can lead to destructive behaviors. Goleman cites studies showing that violent criminals often have a history of emotional neglect and lack of attention in childhood, emphasizing the importance of early emotional education.

Natural Remedies - Ancient...

Maria Garrets

Natural healing encompasses a broad range of therapies and practices aimed at promoting health and well-being by supporting the body's innate ability to heal itself. It follows a holistic approach, treating the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—rather than just focusing on symptoms. Emphasizing the importance of healthy living and preventive care, natural healing encourages a lifestyle that includes a balanced diet, regular exercise, effective stress management, and attention to environmental factors. 
  
A core principle of natural healing is the belief in the body's self-healing ability. This involves supporting and stimulating natural processes through methods such as nutrition, herbal remedies, acupuncture, and homeopathy. Treatments are individualized, recognizing that each person responds differently to various therapies, and are often designed to be as minimally invasive as possible. Natural healing generally prefers natural treatments and avoids synthetic drugs and surgery unless absolutely necessary. 
  
Patient empowerment is another key aspect, encouraging individuals to take an active role in their own health and healing process. The ultimate goal is to restore and maintain balance within the body and achieve harmony with the external environment. These principles guide many natural healing modalities, from traditional practices like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine to modern approaches such as naturopathy and functional medicine.
