  Excessive Control - Dominating...

  Excessive control is a form of domination in which one individual or entity seeks to regulate another’s thoughts, actions, and decisions to an unhealthy degree. While some level of structure and guidance is necessary in various aspects of life, such as in parenting, leadership, and governance, excessive control crosses the line into coercion, manipulation, and restriction of personal freedom. This type of control can occur in different settings, including personal relationships, workplaces, political systems, and even media influence. 
  At its core, excessive control is often driven by fear, insecurity, or the desire for power. Those who exert extreme control may believe that they are acting in the best interest of others, while in reality, they strip individuals of autonomy and self-determination. This behavior can manifest in different ways, such as micromanaging, imposing rigid rules, discouraging independent thinking, or using emotional, psychological, or even physical tactics to ensure compliance. Over time, the person being controlled may experience anxiety, self-doubt, and a loss of confidence in their ability to make choices. 
  In personal relationships, excessive control can take the form of possessiveness, constant monitoring, and manipulation. A controlling partner may demand to know every detail of the other person’s life, limit their interactions with others, or make decisions on their behalf. Similarly, in family settings, parents or guardians who exert too much control over their children may prevent them from developing independence, leading to long-term emotional and psychological struggles.

  A lifelong fascination with all things bones. A four-decades-long hunt for the specimens of 2,500+ species past and present. An unwavering desire to preserve, appreciate, and display this rich history of life on Earth. 
  These things led to the establishment of the largest privately-held collection of osteological pieces in the world; a place where science displays are more like works of art ... capturing the attention of every eye that lands upon them, and telling a profound story without uttering a single word. 
  I'm Richard Jacobs. A casual trip with my family to a bone museum sparked a number of observations that I found too intriguing not to share. 
  Enjoy. And please, never stop being curious, and never stop asking questions – the good ones can lead to the greatest discoveries of mankind.

  Your Lovable Lawyer’s Guide to...

  Over my thirty years in legal practice, I've observed a societal bias that denies justice to people who need it the most. Whether the issue is detecting a legal problem, finding a lawyer, or figuring out how to pay for one, Your Lovable Lawyer's Guide to Legal Wellness offers practical, legal guidance in a fun and friendly format that brings legal empowerment to people who never thought they could access the law.I'd invite you to think of it this way: Plenty of emotional wellness content exists (for example, Dr. Phil teaches people how to stay mentally safe), and lots of financial wellness content is available (for instance, Jim Cramer instructs people on how to make sound financial decisions). But where it concerns legal wellness, nothing exists besides courtroom shows and commentary that are more exploitative than preventative. So why not help you avoid legal problems in the first place the same way a physical keeps you from getting sick. Yes, I'm talking about a legal physical!So join me, would you, on a journey to legal self-confidence, empowerment, and peace of mind. A journey to legal wellness.

  Robert A. Johnson's classic work exploring the differences between man and woman, female and male—newly reissued. 
   
   
   
  What does it really mean to be a man? What are some of the landmarks along the road to mature masculinity? And what of the feminine components of a man's personality? 
   
   
   
  Women have developed, over the centuries, considerable expertise in the technique of adapting to men, and for good reason, but that is not the same as truly understanding them. The transition from male childhood to real manhood is a complicated struggle, and explored in this book. 
   
   
   
  As timely today as when it was first published, He provides a fascinating look into male identity and how female dynamics influence men.
