    Do you feel part of the joys and sorrows of the people around you? 
    Do you get upset without understanding why? 
    Are you easily moved by people's suffering? 
    Have you ever heard about healing empathy? 
    Empathics are people who have a gift for an intuitive understanding of the feelings of others. Not only do they understand how others feel, they can also feel it, taking on their physical pain and their emotional suffering. They are almost always good listeners. People, even complete strangers, seem to perceive this and tend to open up and tell their life stories and problems. Others may think of you as shy, moody, or introverted. Others, on the other hand, may sometimes exasperate themselves with you to be "too sensitive".If you can feel the emotions of others, even when they are not present. If you are often tired in the evening for no reasonIf you have a strong sixth sense and recognize who's lyingIf you're often referred to as too sensitive "for nothing" 
    You're a person with a big heart! 
    This deep understanding and absorption of the emotions of others is an intuitive or psychic gift. It's a beautiful intuitive aptitude, though often people with this ability don't even realize it's a gift. They think it's normal. But if you are empathetic, you are wired differently than others. It's really a special ability and requires special self-care. Just as an athlete takes care of his body, or a singer takes care of his voice, you need to manage and protect your abilities, because in many cases your ability to perceive the emotions of others can wear you down.

    Losing Our Minds - The Challenge...

    A compelling and incisive audiobook that questions the overuse of mental health terms to describe universal human emotionsPublic awareness of mental illness has been transformed in recent years, but our understanding of how to define it has yet to catch up. Too often, psychiatric disorders are confused with the inherent stresses and challenges of human experience. A narrative has taken hold that a mental health crisis has been building among young people. In this profoundly sensitive and constructive book, psychologist Lucy Foulkes argues that the crisis is one of ignorance as much as illness. Have we raised a 'snowflake' generation? Or are today's young people subjected to greater stress, exacerbated by social media, than ever before? Foulkes shows that both perspectives are useful but limited. The real question in need of answering is: how should we distinguish between 'normal' suffering and actual illness?Drawing on her extensive knowledge of the scientific and clinical literature, Foulkes explains what is known about mental health problems—how they arise, why they so often appear during adolescence, the various tools we have to cope with them—but also what remains unclear: distinguishing between normality and disorder is essential if we are to provide the appropriate help, but no clear line between the two exists in nature. Providing necessary clarity and nuance, Losing Our Minds argues that the widespread misunderstanding of this aspect of mental illness might be contributing to its apparent prevalence.

    A complete guide to snipers, rifles, techniques, battles, and campaigns throughout history and around the world, by the author of The Hand Gun Story.    The work features hundreds of snipers, including not only the best-known—world renowned gurus such as Vasiliy Zaytsev and Chris Kyle—but also many crack shots overlooked by history. Among them are some of more than a thousand Red Army snipers—men and women, who amassed sufficient kills to be awarded the Medal for Courage and the Order of Glory. Also included are some of the best-known sniper victims, and the veracity of the most popular myths.   The book thoroughly examines the history and development of the many specialist sniper rifles—some more successful than others—that have served the world’s armies from the nineteenth-century American Wars to today’s technology-based conflicts. Attention, too, is paid to the progress made with ammunition—without which, of course, precision shooting would be impossible. The development of aids and accessories, from camouflage clothing to laser rangefinders, is also considered.   Finally, The Sniper Encyclopedia examines significant locations and specific campaigns—the way marksman have influenced the course of the individual battles and places which have played a crucial part in the history of sniping, from individual sites to sniper schools and training grounds. The book contains authors’ biographies, a critical assessment of the many books and memoirs on the world of the sniper, and a guide to research techniques.  “A remarkable work of research and an endless treasure trove of information for anyone with an interest in the subject.” —Martin Pegler, author of Out Of Nowhere: A History of the Military Sniper

    For the Thrill of It - Leopold...

    It was a crime that shocked the nation: the brutal murder in Chicago in 1924 of a child by two wealthy college students who killed solely for the thrill of the experience. Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb were intellectuals—too smart, they believed, for the police to catch them. When they were apprehended, state's attorney Robert Crowe was certain that no defense could save the ruthless killers from the gallows. But the families of the confessed murderers hired Clarence Darrow, entrusting the lives of their sons to the most famous lawyer in America in what would be one of the most sensational criminal trials in the history of American justice.Set against the backdrop of the 1920s—a time of prosperity, self-indulgence, and hedonistic excess in a lawless city on the brink of anarchy—For the Thrill of It draws the reader into a world of speakeasies and flappers, of gangsters and gin parties, with a spellbinding narrative of Jazz Age murder and mystery.
