Social and Political Philosophy...

Hector Davidson

This book contains these philosophical topics: 
- Feminist Philosophy: Feminist philosophy has emerged as a critical lens for understanding and deconstructing gender roles, power structures, and the ways in which societal norms shape individual identities. At its core, feminist philosophy challenges traditional, patriarchal systems that often position women and marginalized genders as secondary to men. It is not merely a critique of these systems but an exploration of alternative ways of thinking about power, justice, and equality. Feminist philosophers have sought to unravel the deep-rooted assumptions about gender, questioning how these assumptions limit the full potential of individuals and societies. 
- Political Philosophy: Political philosophy plays a central role in the development of societies, offering profound insights into the principles and ideas that shape governance and human relations. At its core, political philosophy seeks to understand the fundamental questions of power, authority, justice, and the rights of individuals within a collective. By examining these issues, political philosophy provides a framework for interpreting and evaluating the structures that govern our lives, from the most intimate social arrangements to the global political order. It is through political philosophy that we come to grips with the nature of justice, equality, freedom, and the role of the state in promoting the common good.

Summary: Peril by Bob Woodward...

Scott Campbell

First-hand witnesses quickly shape  Peril to become a classic Washington study. Readers find themselves ushered into Trump’s White House, Biden’s White House, the workings of the 2020 presidential campaign, the Pentagon, and Congress. 
The intrigue bubbles up from previously unpublished narratives about covert missions, transcripts of private talks, diaries, emails, meeting minutes, and other personal and public materials. 
As he navigates through a bitter and inactivating partisan divide, it’s also the first look at Biden’s presidency as he confronts the most difficult challenges of his life. The one-two punch: the ongoing deadly pandemic and millions of Americans suffering from soul-crushing economic hardship, 
The danger is heightened by previously unpublished information from covert missions, transcripts of private talks, diaries, emails, meeting minutes, and other personal and public materials that convey a previously unpublished narrative. As well, it’s the first look at Biden’s presidency as he confronts the most difficult challenges of his life: the lingering deadly pandemic and millions of Americans suffering from soul-crushing economic hardship, all while navigating through a bitter and debilitating partisan divide, an increasingly dangerous world plagued by threats and the looming, dark shadow of the two previous presidents. “We have so much to do in this winter of danger,” President Biden remarked on the eve of his inauguration, which was marred by a worrisome security scare and the prospect of domestic terrorism. “We have so much to accomplish in this winter of peril,” he said. Peril is a fascinating tale about the end of one administration and the beginning of another. Bob Woodward’s trilogy about the Trump presidency began with Fear, continued with Rage, and treks further with Peril.

CBT Workbook for Kids - Proven...

Tara Wilson

Is CBT an effective form of therapy for children?Absolutely YES!
In recent years into the scientific community has grown a body of proofs that supports this statement.
Sometimes, as adults, we forget that children can experience some tough emotions or horrible situations. We write them off cause they are “young and resilient,” but that’s the wrong thing to do. Things that happen during childhood will have lasting effects, and it can cause them some serious problems later in life.
The goal of this book is to help children work through these things by using CBT. This is a workbook, so it mixes theorical concepts with practical exercises: parents and kids can step by step become familiar with CBT concepts and train their skill together, playing and learning new ways to approach modern life and its obstacles.
Here the main conditions that are treated in this book:ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) Mood DisordersEating DisordersOCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder)PSTD (posttraumatic stress disorder) Self-Harm
The role of mindful practice is crucial into this self-improvement journey: It doesn’t matter how old your child is; kids can benefit from practicing mindfulness; it can help to reduce their anxiety and increase their happiness.
Over time, cognitive behavioral therapy can guide children through the process of generating more realistic versions of situations and provide the tools necessary to cope with them. Kids can begin to understand that negative emotions will pass, much like a dark cloud on a sunny day!

The Great UN-Reset - Humanity's...

Constantine du Bruyn

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.
