Beschreibung

Neutrality has, supposedly, long been a pillar of the Irish national identity – a policy that the country has proudly presented on the world stage. But, examining the concept reveals it to be a vague and elastic notion – one that, throughout history, various governments have been happy to stretch or, in some cases, abandon entirely.
Today, warfare has expanded to include cyberattacks, environmental concerns, election interference and disinformation. If our traditional idea of warfare is changing, should our idea of neutrality change too?
In this timely and thought-provoking examination of a core tenet of Irish society, Conor Gallagher explores the practical and ethical implications of choosing a side, asking: in the face of aggression, is it right to sit back and do nothing?

    As the clock strikes midnight, the world below slips into a serene slumber, and the sky awakens with a shimmering tapestry of stars. The Midnight Balloon Ride beckons you to step aboard a glowing hot air balloon, gently lifting you away from the ordinary into a realm where dreams float effortlessly among the clouds. Bathed in the soft silver light of the moon, the journey winds through twinkling constellations and wisps of cotton candy clouds, each moment more enchanting than the last. Time seems to slow as you drift silently through the dreamy skies, wrapped in a blanket of wonder and magic—where reality blends with fantasy, and the night whispers secrets only the stars can tell. This is more than a ride; it’s a voyage into the heart of night’s most beautiful dreams.

    Love will always triumph over Evil The world is ruled by a handful of Super Rich. These, in their short-sighted management of the planet, are leading Humanity to its own self-destruction. The problem is that the same destructive dynamics, typical of the egoic mind that dominate the Universal Masters, also dwell in us common mortals, so on a smaller scale we are all co-responsible for the current situation. Do we want to continue on this path, remaining in our `old ego`, and thus become passive accomplices of Humanity`s self-destruction? Or do we want to be protagonists of the global Awakening of Consciousness, to head towards a New Promised Land, save ourselves from the nuclear holocaust, and build the Earthly Paradise? But how to `Be the change we want to see realised in the world?`

    Everyone is vulnerable to burnout and anyone can succumb to its effects. Empty suggestions, like "just relax" or work sponsored resilience workshops often lead to feeling judged or wasting precious time. Through eight key concepts, therapist Morgan Johnson offers a new way to combat burnout by feeling whole and reconnecting with the world and relationships around you. 
     
     
     
    Each chapter focuses on a different concept and explains the science behind it. Activities, therapy techniques, journaling prompts, and personal anecdotes are shared to help listeners implement the concept in their recovery journey. Although much of the book expands on solutions that help listeners work smarter not harder, Johnson acknowledges that many elements are out of our control—particularly societal, financial, and political systems that depend on exploitation to thrive. Toxic positivity, compassion fatigue, glimmers and triggers, and other key themes are also discussed. 
     
     
     
    This book is designed to support anyone experiencing burnout, including the overworked employee, overloaded parents and caregivers, those suffering from chronic illnesses, and those just starting to feel the initial effects of burnout. Ultimately, the book empowers individuals to improve their mental wellness by leveraging their current situation while moving towards a society rid of burnout.
