    James Allen (1864–1912) was a man who lived his philosophy. Forced to leave school at 15 after his father's murder, he worked in manual labor jobs before dedicating his life to writing and spiritual inquiry. Despite his lack of formal education, he authored nearly twenty books, with As a Man Thinketh becoming his most famous. Above Life's Turmoil was written during the height of his literary career and reflects his deep synthesis of Christian, Buddhist, and Stoic thought, offering a pragmatic path to peace during the tumultuous Industrial Age—a message that resonates even more powerfully today. 
    In an era of relentless noise and external pursuit, James Allen’s Above Life’s Turmoil offers a timeless sanctuary for the soul. This profound work, penned in 1910, is more than a book; it is a practical philosophy for living. Allen, a British philosophical writer who rose from poverty and personal tragedy to become a quiet pioneer of the self-help movement, argues that while chaos is an inevitable part of life, peace is an internal creation. He guides the reader to rise above adversity not by changing the world, but by mastering the self. 
    Through a series of insightful essays, Allen reveals how the cultivation of pure thoughts, compassionate actions, and a disciplined mind is the only true path to unshakable happiness. He explores the immutable law of cause and effect in one’s inner life, demonstrating how we shape our destiny with every thought. This is not a promise of wealth or fame, but of something far greater: enduring serenity, self-conquest, and a harmonious existence. For anyone feeling overwhelmed by the storms of modern life, this classic text remains an essential guide to finding calm, clarity, and purpose within.

    A practical guide for creating non-traditional relationship agreements that work—from a certified sex therapist and relationships expert 
     
     
     
    Love is eternal—but our concepts of relationships and marriage evolve to fit the times. In an age when we live longer, communicate differently, and value gender equality, is it any wonder so many people are looking for new ways to support lasting, loving partnerships? "Monogamy is no longer a simple concept," says Dr. Tammy Nelson. "More couples every year are experimenting with open relationships and newer, more flexible versions of commitment . . . yet few of us have been prepared with the skills we need to make those agreements work." 
     
     
     
    Open Monogamy is Dr. Nelson's guidebook for couples who wish to explore new directions in their relationships—to bring in excitement, variety, and fresh experiences without sacrificing trust, security, and respect. In this practical, skill-based book, she helps you find your place on the "monogamy continuum"; have honest conversations about attraction and desire; remove shame and suspicion from an open relationship; and create agreements—traditional or otherwise—that are fulfilling, exhilarating, and built for enduring love.

    Isolated from the world, the village of Bormont has grown twisted. It’s wallowed in filth for centuries. 
    My plane crashed in the forest. I was rescued by the local townsfolk. It was the ultimate blessing. 
    Or so I thought. 
    I broke their laws. They put me in a chastity cage and paraded me through the town square. It triggered something hidden deep inside me. 
    The day they locked me into chastity was the day I broke. 
    The men say I’m doing a good job now. I’m learning quickly and absorbing their lessons. 
    I’m a good student…I’m a good student…I’m a good student…

    In today’s digital world, privacy is no longer a given—it’s something we must actively fight to protect. Every time we browse the web, use social media, or make online purchases, we leave behind a trail of personal data. This data is collected, analyzed, and often sold without our knowledge. Many people believe that if they have “nothing to hide,” they have nothing to worry about. However, this misconception ignores the real risks of online privacy erosion.  
      
    Companies, governments, and cybercriminals are constantly gathering information about individuals, using it for targeted advertising, surveillance, and even fraud. The websites you visit, the products you search for, and even the time you spend on a page are all tracked to create a detailed profile of who you are. This data is used to manipulate consumer behavior, influence political opinions, and, in some cases, restrict freedoms. Governments argue that surveillance is necessary for national security, but history has shown that mass data collection can lead to severe privacy violations and even oppression.  
      
    Beyond corporations and governments, cybercriminals exploit the vast amount of personal information available online. Data breaches have become more frequent, exposing millions of users to identity theft, fraud, and financial losses. Social engineering scams take advantage of publicly available data, making it easier for criminals to deceive and manipulate individuals. The more our private information is exposed, the more vulnerable we become to digital threats.
