  Westover, a girls' high school in Middlebury, Connecticut, has evolved from a finishing school for the Protestant elite, including F. Scott Fitzgerald's first love, to a meritocracy for pupils of many religions and races from all around the world. The fascinating account of the ups and downs of this female community is the subject of Laurie Lisle's well-researched and beautifully illustrated book. It tells an important story about female education during decades of dramatic social change in America. 
  This school for girls was founded in 1909 by emancipated New Women. The author describes the innovations of the idealistic minister's daughter who founded the school, her intellectual successor who turned it into a college preparatory school in the 1930s, the quiet headmaster who struggled to keep it open during the turbulent 1970s, and the prize-winning mathematics teacher, wife, and mother who then lead the school into a new era.

  Reflections on Happiness

  Reflections on Happiness by Gabrielle Émilie Le Tonnelier de Breteuil, Marquise du Châtelet, is a philosophical essay exploring the nature of happiness and its relationship to human life. Written in the 18th century, the work reflects the marquise's deep engagement with the intellectual currents of her time, particularly the Enlightenment. In this piece, she examines the concept of happiness, questioning what it truly means to live a fulfilled and meaningful life. 
  Du Châtelet argues that happiness is not simply a passive state of contentment but is closely linked to the pursuit of reason, virtue, and intellectual growth. She critiques the idea that material wealth or external circumstances alone can bring lasting happiness, suggesting instead that a person’s inner life—shaped by rational thought, self-control, and personal development—plays a crucial role in achieving fulfillment. Moreover, she posits that happiness is a complex and individual experience, shaped by both reason and emotions, and that it is more sustainable when it is aligned with one’s own nature and values. 
  Throughout the work, du Châtelet blends insights from philosophy, science, and personal reflection, offering a nuanced understanding of happiness as both a goal and a process. The essay reflects her belief in the power of human agency and the importance of intellectual and emotional balance in the pursuit of a meaningful life.

Since I was a child, my entire life and reality have been centered around a connection with the world beyond my five senses and the pragmatic definition of the universe. 
  If you have been a practicing psychic or have experienced the psychic connection, I don’t need to tell you that there is much more going on in the world than what our senses or science tell us. This book explores this while giving practical advice and skills that will help to keep you balanced while enhancing your abilities. I speak to you in practical terms because I live my daily life through Energy. It at once reveals my direction and keeps me from harm while imbuing me with abilities I once never thought possible. 
  In the world today, we are polarized in so many fundamental ways. There are many reasons for this, but at a fundamental level, it is because of the cycle that we are in. My goal in life has always been to study reality. I try to look at things as they really are. We are in a period of extreme transformation right now where the things we once believed were unchangeable are no longer that certain. The ground is giving way, and this makes it a very frightening time. It is also a wonderful magical time where things once believed impossible will become possible.
