  Existentialism offers enduring lessons and insight on how to understand ourselves and improve our lives. 
  Your existence is not the result of a pre-determined set of events, it’s the direct result of your thinking and your actions, and therefore, according to Soren Kierkegaard, Frederick Nietzsche, Albert Camus, and other Existentialist philosophers, you have the freedom to control the outcome of your existence—sophisticated ""philosophy meets psychology"" self-help for the twenty-first-century. 
  As Kierkegaard and his ilk made clear in their respective works, human beings are moody creatures. Rather than understanding moods such as anxiety and depression as afflictions that can only be treated with a pill, the Existentialists regard these troublesome feelings as instructive, something revealing about what it means to be human. The Existentialists believed that how we negotiate our emotional ups-and-downs plays an important hand in the lives we sculpt for ourselves. 
  While offering listeners a useful primer on Existentialism as an animating body of thought, Marino distills and delivers the life-altering and, in some cases, life-saving insights Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Camus, and other Existentialists articulate for becoming more emotionally attuned human beings. Enhancing our sense of meaning in the midst of an uncertain world, Marino interjects gripping anecdotes from his own experiences to demonstrate how we can use existentialist thought to ignite truly transformative experiences.

  The Alamo - The Fight for Texas

  The Battle of the Alamo, fought in 1836, is one of the most iconic events in American history. Situated in the heart of modern-day Texas, the Alamo has come to symbolize sacrifice, courage, and defiance. To understand the significance of the battle, it is essential to first explore the events that led to this dramatic confrontation. The road to the Alamo was shaped by a series of political, social, and military tensions that spanned several years. 
  The conflict between Mexico and the growing population of Anglo settlers in Texas began with the Mexican War of Independence (1810-1821), which freed Mexico from Spanish rule. However, the new Mexican government struggled to control its vast northern territories, including Texas. In the early 1820s, Mexico encouraged settlement in Texas to help secure the region and promote economic development. Anglo settlers, many from the United States, flocked to Texas, hoping for fertile land and opportunities for growth. Over time, these settlers outnumbered the native Mexican population, and cultural tensions began to rise. 
  In 1829, Mexico, under President Vicente Guerrero, passed laws to curb slavery, which greatly alarmed many of the settlers who depended on slave labor. By the mid-1830s, tensions had escalated, as settlers pushed for greater autonomy from the central government in Mexico City, which they felt was increasingly distant and unresponsive to their needs. Meanwhile, Mexico’s leadership was determined to maintain control over Texas and prevent it from slipping into rebellion.

  Mysterious Losses of the USS...

  In April 1963, one of the most advanced U.S. hunter-killer nuclear submarines and the 129 men onboard vanished while on a routine voyage. The USS Thresher was one of the country’s most advanced ships, but it had the misfortune of becoming the first American nuclear submarine to be lost at sea, prompting obvious questions over what had happened. Had it accidentally collided with a Soviet ship? Was it destroyed by a new and secret Soviet weapon? Was it secretly captured and taken back to the Soviet Union to reveal its secrets? 
  For those who choose to make the careers as submariners, there is no more beloved service. That is, one hopes, how it was for the 99 men who were serving on the USS Scorpion on May 22, 1968, the fateful day the submarine is believed to have sank. It appears that the crew members died quickly, but however it happened, the grief experienced by their family members dragged on for decades, exacerbated both by the Navy’s lack of information about the submarine’s final moments and the government’s unwillingness to share what little knowledge it had. 
  It is easy in hindsight to criticize the military for its secrecy, but it must be remembered that the Scorpion disappeared at the height of the Cold War, and therefore, little could be said publicly about its fate. Coincidentally, 3 other nuclear submarines suffered mysterious sinkings the same year, and the Cold War adversaries were interested in locating them and gleaning any secrets or technology that they could from the other side’s bad luck. Indeed, it was only after the fall of the Soviet Union that the truth could be told, bringing closure to family members and a dark lesson in espionage to the American people.
