    At its core, jealousy emerges when we perceive a threat to something we value, be it a person, possession, or even an idea. This feeling of possessiveness or inadequacy can arise when someone we care about shows interest in another person, when we feel ignored or neglected, or when we experience a perceived loss of something important to us. However, jealousy is not always a reflection of the reality of a situation but often stems from our personal insecurities or fears of abandonment and rejection. It can grow unchecked, creating barriers to trust and emotional intimacy, or it can be managed, leading to personal growth and stronger, healthier relationships. 
      
    Jealousy, when left unchecked, can erode relationships, breed mistrust, and create ongoing conflict. However, when we acknowledge it and take steps to manage it constructively, jealousy can be transformed into an opportunity for growth. By examining the emotion itself, the ways it manifests, and offering strategies to cope, this book seeks to provide the tools necessary to better understand jealousy and, ultimately, build stronger and more fulfilling relationships. 
    This book aims to explore the emotional roots of jealousy, why it arises, and how we can manage it in a way that doesn’t undermine our relationships. Through an understanding of the psychological, biological, and social triggers of jealousy, we can begin to recognize how it shapes our behavior. From there, we can learn to respond to jealousy in a healthier way, fostering communication, trust, and resilience in our personal connections.

  • Medieval Conspiracy Theories: The History of the Most Popular Conspiracy Theories about the Middle Ages - cover

    Medieval Conspiracy Theories:...

    Few eras are easier to let the imagination run wild than the Middle Ages, which have often been coined the Dark Ages based on a perceived lack of progress and information. Indeed, we can say that it is not completely unfounded because we know less about that historical period compared to those that come after it. In addition, it is a period marked by a great number of deaths caused by plague epidemics, crusades, and inquisitorial persecutions. Often, researchers are not even sure how and why certain events happened, and these mysteries still occupy the attention of historians. 
    	This era was very harsh, difficult, and often gloomy. In that greyness, burdened by various fears, people were looking for something that would light up their lives and bring them a feeling of beauty and joy. People experienced all things and events around them more intensely than people do today. They often exaggerated the events that happened, giving them a mystical and divine character. For this reason, medieval sources are taken with a grain of salt and are first carefully examined before believing.  
    	At the same time, some historical mysteries about the era may never be solved, if only because the relevant excavated material has been lost or the archaeological site has been destroyed. In other cases, it is because new evidence is unlikely to emerge, or the surviving evidence is too vague to lead to a consensus. Of course, the lack of answers only makes these enigmas more intriguing.  
    	Similarly, few stories have the power to mesmerize as much as unsolved mysteries, so codes and missing puzzle pieces fill people with excitement and intrigue. What did a source want to say with that coded message? What mysteries did they hide?
