Summary

When Edward Snowden began leaking NSA documents in June 2013, his actions sparked impassioned debates about electronic surveillance, national security, and privacy in the digital age. The Snowden Reader looks at Snowden's disclosures and their aftermath. Critical analyses by experts discuss the historical, political, legal, and ethical issues raised by the disclosures. Over forty key documents related to the case are included, with introductory notes explaining their significance: documents leaked by Snowden; responses from the NSA, the Obama administration, and Congress; statements by foreign leaders, their governments, and international organizations; judicial rulings; findings of review committees; and Snowden's own statements. This book provides a valuable introduction and overview for anyone who wants to go beyond the headlines to understand this historic episode.

    From our earliest years, we develop an attachment style that follows us through life, replaying in our daily emotional landscape, our relationships, and how we feel about ourselves. And in the wake of a traumatic event—such as a car accident, severe illness, loss of a loved one, or experience of abuse—that attachment style can deeply influence what happens next.With The Power of Attachment, Dr. Diane Poole Heller, a pioneer in attachment theory and trauma resolution, shows how overwhelming experiences can break our vital connections—with the parts of ourselves within, with the physical world around us, and with others.The good news is that we can restore and reconnect at all levels, regardless of our past. "We are fundamentally designed to heal," teaches Dr. Heller. "Even if our childhood is less than ideal, our secure attachment system is biologically programmed in us, and our job is to simply find out what's interfering with it and learn what we can do to make those secure tendencies more dominant." Here, through key insights and many practical exercises, you'll learn how to begin your own journey to greater intimacy, wholeness, and resilience.

About Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin 
 According to Navy SEAL officers and bestselling authors Jocko Willink and Leif Babin, “Extreme Ownership” is the practice of taking responsibility for everything in your world, to an extreme level. Those who follow principles of Extreme Ownership accept ownership of not only those tasks which they directly control, but also those tasks which ultimately affect their success, even if those tasks are the immediate responsibility of someone else. 
In their book, Extreme Ownership, Jocko and Leif cover the main principles of leadership which they believe ultimately lead to success. They show us that there are only two types of leaders: effective ones and ineffective ones. Effective leaders are those leaders who understand and implement the core building blocks of leadership, which are in turn based on the fundamentals of Extreme Ownership. An effective leader is one who accepts Extreme Ownership as his or her core mindset. An ineffective leader is one who blames or leans too heavily on others. 
Please note that this summary of Extreme Ownership is NOT the original book and is meant to be read as a supplement to the original.

    Investing in cryptocurrency can offer several potential benefits such as high volatility leading to potentially high returns, increased accessibility and 24/7 trading, and the potential for digital currencies to become widely adopted as a new asset class. Additionally, blockchain technology underlying cryptocurrencies offers secure and transparent transactions. However, it is important to thoroughly research and understand the risks involved before investing, as the market is highly volatile and not backed by any government.

    John Stuart Mill is regarded as one of the most influential thinkers of the Victorian Era. In this speech, he defends the practice of capital punishment. He states, “I defend this penalty, when confined to atrocious cases, on the very ground on which it is commonly attacked—on that of humanity to the criminal; as beyond comparison the least cruel mode in which it is possible adequately to deter from the crime.” Though written in the 1800s, Mill’s argument is still relevant in contemporary discussions of capital punishment.
