Summary

Cursed Objects Explained explores the captivating realm of artifacts believed to carry negative energy. It delves into the history, legends, and potential explanations behind these objects' sinister reputations. The book examines how historical events, psychological suggestibility (like the nocebo effect), and cultural narratives intertwine to instill objects with a reputation for misfortune. Did you know that the belief in animism, where spirits inhabit objects, has significantly shaped our perception of cursed items throughout history?

 
The book begins by defining cursed objects and exploring the psychology of belief. It then presents case studies of objects like ill-fated paintings and jewelry associated with bad luck, dissecting their histories and potential rational explanations. A key chapter examines cultural rituals that contribute to curse perceptions.

 
Ultimately, it discusses how our belief in cursed objects reflects our anxieties and influences our understanding of causality. This approach offers a multidisciplinary lens, combining historical analysis, psychological insights, and cultural perspectives to provide a comprehensive understanding of these phenomena.

    This is a story of my childhood. I had multiple panic attacks reliving the experiences through the writing process. Though writing about my experience was difficult, it was also healing. The nightmares I have been plagued with my entire life are finally gone. For the first time in my life, I feel whole and unashamed of my past. The effects of child abuse don't go away. For the abuser its just a moment in time. For the victim, that moment in time, can last a lifetime.I share my personal journey in hopes to educate and support many through their specific traumatic situation and know that you are not alone. I hope to inspire people, that your trauma does not define you, but that your journey in the fight does. I have discovered that I am lovable, beautiful and a warrior and capable of doing anything, including loving the woman I have become.

    Featured in the bestselling book Born to Run , coach and performance guru Eric Orton has spent a lifetime learning and thinking about running and about the limitless possibilities of the human body and mind. In The Cool Impossible , Orton shares his wealth of knowledge in an inspiring step-by-step guide that will open up a new world of achievement for runners of all levels of ability and experience. The truth is: Athleticism is awareness. That simple phrase is at the core of The Cool Impossible . Athleticism requires awareness of form and technique, awareness of our effort level, and, most important, awareness of what we think (and don' t think). And with that awareness comes the possibility of endless potential and improvement, progress and mastery-- and, ultimately, achievement that you never before would have thought possible. With a program focused on proper running form, strength development, and cardiovascular training, Orton will help first-step beginners, prime-time competitors, and enduring veterans reach " the cool impossible"-- the belief that any achievement, athletic or otherwise, is within our reach. Inside you' ll find: * Foot strength exercises to catapult performance, combat injuries, and transform technique * A total-body strength program aimed at creating an athletic running body * Step-by-step run-form coaching for performance enhancement and lifelong healthy running * A run-training program providing the building blocks for endurance, strength, and speed * No-nonsense nutrition strategies for performance, health, and the ultimate running body * Visualization and mind-training tactics to run and live the Cool Impossible *And much more Natural running is about so much more than barefoot running. It' s about the joy of running that we were all naturally born with and can reawaken. Like a favorite running companion, The Cool Impossible will be there with you, stride for stride and mile for mile, helping you go farther than you ever could have on your own.

    Have You Been Sold a 40 Year Financial Lie? 
    There's a Fastlane to millions, a shortcut paved by mathematics where you can LIVE RICHLY NOW versus DYING RICH LATER. Instead, an army of financial gurus and self-proclaimed "experts" have brainwashed you into believing a dream-killing dogma I call the "Slowlane." Their suffocating plan involves miserly living, ascetic budgets, and living like a broke co-ed for the rest of your life. 
    Drive the Slowlane, and you will discover your life deteriorate into a miserable exhibition about what you cannot do versus what you can. For those who refuse the lifetime subscription to mediocrity, there's an expressway to extraordinary wealth capable of burning a trail to financial freedom faster than any road out there. And shockingly, this road has nothing to do with jobs, 401(k)s, index funds, or a lifestyle of miserly living in a tiny house. 
    Here is what you will learn:Why jobs, 401(k)s, indexed funds, and 40-years of mindless frugality will never make you rich young.Why a Fastlane strategy is the best insurance policy again inflation, economic recessions, and pandemic lockdowns.Why most entrepreneurs fail and how to immediately put the odds in your favor.The real law of wealth: Leverage this, and wealth has no choice but to be magnetized to you.The leading cause of poorness: Change this, and you change everything.How the rich really get rich - and no, it has nothing to do with a paycheck or a 401K match.The raw mathematics of wealth is how you and any "Joe or Jane" can quickly tap into real wealth.Why the guru's sacred deities - compound interest and index fund investing are impotent wealth accelerators.Why popular guru platitudes like "do what you love" and "follow your passion" will most likely keep you poor, not rich.And 250+ distinctions... 
    Change lanes and hit the Fastlane today.
