  We are all born with a certain degree of empathy. For some people, this quality is extremely intense and difficult to manage, leading them to be labelled “highly sensitive” or “empaths.” These individuals are often misdiagnosed with conditions such as anxiety or depression because their emotional sensitivities are so pronounced. However, new research is emerging that suggests highly sensitive empaths can actually thrive in life if they learn how to manage their sensitivities properly. 
  Highly sensitive people (HSP) are a unique breed. They make up only around 15-20 per cent of the population and are known for their heightened intuition, deep empathizing abilities, and propensity for introspection. This makes them incredibly insightful and caring individuals, but can also lead to a lot of stress and overwhelm.

  Leonardo da Vinci - An...

  Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) never signed a painting, and none of his supposed self-portraits can be securely ascribed to his hand. He revealed next to nothing about his life in his extensive writings, yet countless pages have been written about him that assign him an identity: genius, entrepreneur, celebrity artist, outsider. Addressing the ethical stakes involved in studying past lives, Stephen J. Campbell shows how this invented Leonardo has invited speculation from figures ranging from art dealers and curators to scholars, scientists, and biographers, many of whom have filled in the gaps of what can be known of Leonardo's life with claims to decode secrets, reveal mysteries of a vanished past, or discover lost masterpieces of spectacular value. 
   
   
   
  In this original and provocative book, Campbell examines the strangeness of Leonardo's words and works, and the distinctive premodern world of artisans and thinkers from which he emerged. By investigating the politics and cultural tensions of the era as well as the most recent scholarship on Leonardo's contemporaries, workshop, and writings, Campbell places Leonardo back into the milieu that shaped him and was shaped by him. He shows that it is in the gaps and contradictions of what we know of Leonardo's life that a less familiar and far more historically significant figure appears.

  Parenting That Works - Building...

  Being a parent is probably the most important job many of us will ever have. In this book, clinical psychologist Dr. Edward Christophersen and his colleague, child psychologist Dr. Susan Mortweet, show parents how to raise their child to become the adult we'd all like to be—one who is happy and compassionate, confident but not aggressive, and able to make and keep friends. 
   
   
   
  They point out that from babyhood on through the school years, children learn these qualities by observing and interacting with their parents. In clearly written, easy-to-follow chapters, parents are shown how to model and reward positive behaviors and avoid the need for ineffective, punitive discipline. 
   
   
   
  Two key areas are covered in the book: building one's own skills as a parent, and then building one's child's competencies. Scores of practical examples show parents how to teach their children what is important in life, how to communicate clearly, and how to effectively discipline their child. Special parenting topics such as managing a child's behavior in public, monitoring TV, toys, and games, and handling fallout from divorce are also discussed. Listeners then learn how to build their child's basic skills by teaching him or her how to quickly get over upsets and how to play independently.

  Dark Psychology - Lies Deception...

  The concept of mind control might seem like a specialized topic that doesn’t concern us personally, often relegated to the realm of movies. However, the reality is that mind control is a genuine phenomenon, and understanding it is crucial for protecting ourselves against it. This subject has been explored since ancient times, and it is not a recent development. 
    
  Controlled societies have existed for centuries, with modern mind control techniques emerging from World War II research. Many experiments conducted during this era remain obscure unless one studies the topic closely. The government is not keen on discussing these practices openly, similar to the covert operations historically conducted by the CIA. 
    
  There are two primary methods of mind control: one based on psychological trauma and the other on physical trauma. The psychological approach involves subjecting the individual to severe emotional and physical trauma. The aim is to break down the mind and reshape the personality to perform specific functions desired by the controller. In this process, the victim is often unaware of the changes occurring in their mind and personality.
