  How to Recognize Toxic Marriages

  [How to Recognize Toxic Marriages] pierces through the subtle, insidious nature of marital toxicity with haunting precision and lyrical insight. Like a masterful cartographer mapping unexplored territory, this intimate examination charts the invisible boundaries that slowly constrict within toxic relationships - from the initial silence that settles like dust between two people, to the gradual erosion of self-worth that occurs so slowly you barely notice it happening. Written with unflinching honesty and profound psychological depth, the book illuminates the quiet ways love transforms into a weapon, how shared spaces become battlegrounds, and the sophisticated machinery of control that operates just beneath the surface of everyday interactions. Through its careful dissection of the language of distance, the manipulation of reality, and the weaponization of intimacy, this work serves as both a warning signal and a validation for those caught in the bewildering maze of toxic marriages, offering a vocabulary for experiences that often defy articulation.

  On the night of August 6, 1930, Joseph Force Crater, a newly appointed judge and prominent figure in many circles of Manhattan, hailed a taxi in the heart of Broadway and vanished into thin air. Despite a decades-long international manhunt led by the New York Police Department's esteemed Missing Persons Bureau, the reason for Crater's disappearance remains a confounding mystery. In the early months of the investigation, evidence implicated and imperiled New York's top officials, including then-Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt and Mayor Jimmy Walker, as well as the city's Tammany Hall political machine, lawyers and judges, and a theater mogul. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on new sources, including NYPD case files and court records, and overlooked evidence discovered years later, Riegel pieces together the puzzle of what likely happened to Joseph Crater and why. To uncover the mystery, he delves into Crater's ascension into the scintillating and corrupt world of Manhattan in the Roaring Twenties and Jazz Age. In turn, the story of the judge's vanishing amid the Great Depression unfolds as a harbinger of the disappearance of his lost metropolis and its transformation into modern-day New York City.

  The Will to Conquer: Mastering Power, Strategy, and the Art of War is a manifesto for those who refuse to be ruled. Power is not a privilege granted by fate—it is seized by those with the vision, discipline, and ruthlessness to take it. 
  In this book, A.A. Castor dismantles the myths of fairness, morality, and justice, exposing them for what they truly are: illusions designed to keep the weak in submission. Drawing from the principles of history's greatest strategists—Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, Nietzsche, and beyond—The Will to Conquer explores the foundations of dominance, manipulation, and control. 
  This book reveals: 
  ✔ The Laws of Power – How rulers impose their will and eliminate opposition. 
  ✔ The Art of Strategy – Why battles are won before they are fought. 
  ✔ The Psychology of a Ruler – How to think beyond morality and hesitation. 
  ✔ The Mastery of Deception – Why perception is more powerful than reality. 
  ✔ The Will to Power – How to overcome fear, doubt, and self-imposed limitations. 
  Power does not wait for the patient, nor does it reward those who seek validation. It belongs to those who demand it. If you are ready to break free from the illusions of the weak and forge your own destiny, this book will show you the way. 
  "There is no universal law—only the law of those strong enough to impose it."

  When you sit down at a play, movie, or concert—or even in front of the TV or scrolling on your phone—you are taking part in one of the oldest and most mysterious forms of human behavior. Being part of an audience is an age-old experience that we all crave, one that has evolved from amphitheaters to screens. Right This Way is a pop history of audiences through the ages. Playbill editor Robert Viagas unfolds the unique aspects of what he calls “audiencing” with stories from the age of the Greeks to the world of Zoom. He walks through the different types of audiences and the history of their responses, what science has to say about how our brains respond to what they see and the reactions of the people around them, and why, during COVID-19, people risked a deadly virus to be part of a crowd. Right This Way explores what the audience experience brings us and how it may evolve in the 21st century.

  Hyperefficient - Optimize Your...

  Optimize your life using science-backed advice and discover how to get your brain working at peak efficiency.   We all know how to nudge our brains to perform better. A strong cup of coffee helps us get through a dull meeting, and a brisk walk helps us think more clearly. But what if some nudges could optimise how we focus, create and process information even more effectively, to take mental performance to new heights?   Today, most office workers are expected to operate with industrial-era efficiency. Yet the work that matters most in our technology-dominated workplace – generating brilliant ideas, solving complex problems, and learning – can’t be manufactured like outputs on an assembly line. Instead, we need a new, HYPEREFFICIENT way of working: rather than imposing the rhythms of work on our brains, Dr. Mithu Storoni proposes we impose the rhythm of our brains on our work. Storoni explains that our brains function like a car’s engine, with multiple gears that put our brains in optimal mode for different mental challenges. Drawing on the latest research, she shows us how to seamlessly shift our brains into the best gear for the tasks we need to be doing, so we can perform at our best throughout the day, every day.
