MAN’S SEARCH FOR MEANING - An...

Viktor Frankl

Man’s Search for Meaning is a book published in 1946 by Austrian psychiatrist Viktor Frankl. It is an autobiographical and psychological work in which the author recounts his experiences in Nazi concentration camps during World War II and the development of his theory of logotherapy.
Through his experience, Frankl argues that the primary driving force in human beings is not the pursuit of pleasure (as Freud claimed) nor the will to power (as Adler maintained), but the search for meaning in life.
The book is divided into three parts:Experiences in a Concentration Camp – where he recounts the horrors he lived through in Auschwitz and Dachau.Logotherapy in a Nutshell – where he explains the foundations of his psychological theory.Postscript 1984: The Case for Tragic Optimism – a reflection on the human attitude toward suffering.
Throughout the book, Frankl argues that even in the most extreme conditions, human beings can find a purpose that enables them to survive.
Man’s Search for Meaning is a deeply inspiring work that blends autobiography with existential psychology. Through his time in the concentration camps, Viktor Frankl shows that human beings can endure any suffering if they find a purpose in their lives. His theory of logotherapy offers a unique approach to confronting existential emptiness and suffering.
Frankl leaves us with a powerful lesson: the ultimate human freedom lies in our ability to choose our attitude in any given situation. While we may not always be able to change our circumstances, we can decide how to respond. And in that decision lies our dignity, our humanity, and our purpose.
Finally, his theory of logotherapy is not just a therapeutic tool, but a philosophy of life that invites us to reflect on our daily choices and the purpose we give to our existence.

The Tolerant Populists - Kansas...

Walter Nugent

A political movement rallies against underregulated banks, widening gaps in wealth, and gridlocked governments. Sound familiar? More than a century before Occupy Wall Street, the People’s Party of the 1890s was organizing for change. They were the original source of the term “populism,” and a catalyst for the later Progressive Era and New Deal. Historians wrote approvingly of the Populists up into the 1950s. But with time and new voices, led by historian Richard Hofstadter, the Populists were denigrated, depicted as demagogic, conspiratorial, and even anti-Semitic. In a landmark study, Walter Nugent set out to uncover the truth of populism, focusing on the most prominent Populist state, Kansas. He focused on primary sources, looking at the small towns and farmers that were the foundation of the movement. The result, The Tolerant Populists, was the first book-length, source-based analysis of the Populists. Nugent’s work sparked a movement to undo the historical revisionism and ultimately found itself at the center of a controversy that has been called “one of the bloodiest episodes in American historiography.” This timely re-release of The Tolerant Populists comes as the term finds new currency—and new scorn—in modern politics. A definitive work on populism, it serves as a vivid example of the potential that political movements and popular opinion can have to change history and affect our future.

Treason From Within - The...

Donald T. Phillips

The First Comprehensive Treatment of the Kennedy Assassination.  The US government lied to the American people about President Kennedy's death.  But, ironically it was the American people who solved the crime.  Over the past half century, hundreds of researchers investigated one or more parts of the murder, often using their own expertise, such as photography, computers, science, medical expertise, and analytical skills.  Taken together, their detailed work illuminated what really happened.  Author Donald T. Phillips has been following the Kennedy assassination since it happened.  This book begins at the end of World War II and concludes when the Warren Commission was formed.  Revealed along the way is the truth about the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the ambush in Dealey Plaza, and JFK's fraudulent autopsy.  During his two years and eight months in office, President Kennedy prevented the US government from instigating a war that could have involved nuclear weapons in Vietnam, Laos, Berlin, the Soviet Union, and Cuba.  He was leading the nation away from armed conflict, ending the Cold War, and setting the stage for a lasting peace with all nations.  IN doing so, however, JFK was threatening long-established kopek structures within the government.  So on November 22, 1963, in broad daylight, they shot him in the  back and blew his brains out.  It was a pre-meditated, deliberate, willful act of murder with malice aforethought.  And they got away with it.  No one who participated in the crime was ever brought to justice.  Treason From Within answers the questions:  Who killed President Kennedy?  Why was he killed?  How was he killed?
