Summary

In The Hyperconnected Mind, readers are taken on a compelling journey through the unseen forces behind today’s digital environment. From the relentless pings of notifications to the addictive pull of infinite scrolling, media and social networks are no longer just tools—we live inside them. And they are reshaping how we think, feel, focus, and relate to one another.With insight drawn from psychology and modern culture, this timely and eye-opening book reveals how platforms are engineered to hijack attention, manipulate emotions, and keep us locked in a loop of distraction and comparison. The myth of multitasking, the rise of anxiety and burnout, and the blurring of identity and reality are not isolated issues but symptoms of a deeper transformation in how the human mind interacts with technology.Yet, the Hyperconnected Mind is more than a diagnosis. It’s a call to awareness. The book offers a clear-eyed look at what’s happening to our mental lives and practical paths toward reclaiming focus, depth, and control in an age of digital noise.

    A moving meditation on recent geopolitical crises, viewed through the lens of ancient and modern tragedy 
     
    Some books emerge from a lifetime of hard-won knowledge. Robert D. Kaplan has learned, from a career spent reporting on wars, revolutions, and international politics in Europe, the Middle East, and East Asia, that the essence of geopolitics is tragedy. In The Tragic Mind, he employs the works of ancient Greek dramatists, Shakespeare, German philosophers, and the modern classics to explore the central subjects of international politics: order, disorder, rebellion, ambition, loyalty to family and state, violence, and the mistakes of power. The great dilemmas of international politics, he argues, are not posed by good versus evil—a clear and easy choice—but by contests of good versus good, where the choices are often searing, incompatible, and fraught with consequences. A deeply learned and deeply felt meditation on the importance of lived experience in conducting international relations, this is a book for everyone who wants a profound understanding of the tragic politics of our time.

    Patrick Henry’s Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death speech, delivered on March 23, 1775, is one of the most powerful orations in American history. Addressing the Virginia Convention, Henry’s passionate plea for freedom from British rule helped ignite the flames of the American Revolution. His bold declaration, “Give me liberty, or give me death!” has since become a symbol of the fight for independence and human rights. 
    Narrated by Gary Middleton, this audiobook brings Patrick Henry’s stirring words to life, capturing the intensity and urgency of the moment. Whether you’re a student of history or simply an admirer of powerful rhetoric, this speech is an essential listen for understanding the spirit of the American Revolution.

    The Lands in Between - Russia vs...

    Russia's stealth invasion of Ukraine and its assault on the US elections in 2016 forced a reluctant West to grapple with the effects of hybrid war. While most citizens in the West are new to the problems of election hacking, state-sponsored disinformation campaigns, influence operations by foreign security services, and frozen conflicts, citizens of the frontline states between Russia and the European Union have been dealing with these issues for years. 
     
     
     
    The Lands in Between contends that these "lands in between" hold powerful lessons for Western countries. For Western politics is becoming increasingly similar to the lands in between, where hybrid warfare has polarized parties and voters into two camps: those who support a Western vision of liberal democracy and those who support a Russian vision of nationalist authoritarianism. Paradoxically, while politics increasingly boils down to a zero sum "civilizational choice" between Russia and the West, those who rise to the pinnacle of the political system in the lands in between are often non-ideological power brokers who have found a way to profit from both sides, taking rewards from both Russia and the West. Increasingly, the political pathologies of these small, vulnerable, and backwards states in Europe are our problems too. In this deepening conflict, we are all lands in between.

    As a nurse I have been in situations where patients learned very bad news about the state of their health, news that was not received well by them, their families, or even their medical team. When preparing this book, my feelings were much the same as when I was in those situations.The bad news about the health of our nation is, like cancer in a patient's body, communism (also known as "Marxism") has grown in the United States. Like cancer, it started with an unnoticed seed and grew insidiously with little sign or symptom. Now like cancer, communism is on the brink of overwhelming us.Because I know that knowledge of their cancer is essential to my patient's first step towards survival, I believe that knowledge of our communism is essential to the United States of America's first step towards survival. So within this book, I describe: how I learned about the symptoms (The Real Communist Threat Witnessed); the disease (the Introduction and Sections 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the Communist Manifesto); the signs and symptoms and the treatment and cure (Constitution versus Communist Manifesto: The War within America).Extremist Socialists, also known as Communists, like Extremist/Radical Islamists believe their ends justify their means (that is: lying, cheating, stealing, and killing). Beware of their joint product, Interfaith Dialogue.

    Why is it that our highly-interconnected and globalized world seems more chaotic and dangerous than ever? Have you ever wondered why the world seems to lurch from seemingly unconnected crisis to crisis? From the pandemic to climate change and net-zero policies? From food shortages to high inflation and collapsing markets? But are they really unconnected? This book explores the reality suggesting that, in fact, none of what is happening across the globe is happening by chance. 
    Right under humanity’s nose, supranational organizations such as the United Nations, the Club of Rome and Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum strive to usurp national sovereignties in the quest for a dystopian future, with the threat of transhumanism, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, central bank digital currencies, universal basic income and digital IDs looming ever closer. 
    This book compiles hundreds of pieces of evidence to expose the dystopian goals of a global control matrix lying in the shadows. By reading this book, you become part of humanity’s fight back against the new world order being forced on the globe. We must fight for our freedoms and for those of generations to come. 
    Humanity can, and will, win.
