  Grief - A Philosophical Guide

  Experiencing grief at the death of a person we love or who matters to us—as universal as it is painful—is central to the human condition. Surprisingly, however, philosophers have rarely examined grief in any depth. In Grief, Michael Cholbi presents a groundbreaking philosophical exploration of this complex emotional event, offering valuable new insights about what grief is, whom we grieve, and how grief can ultimately lead us to a richer self-understanding and a fuller realization of our humanity. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on psychology, social science, and literature as well as philosophy, Cholbi explains that we grieve for the loss of those in whom our identities are invested, including people we don't know personally but cherish anyway, such as public figures. Their deaths not only deprive us of worthwhile experiences; they also disrupt our commitments and values. Yet grief is something we should embrace rather than avoid, an important part of a good and meaningful life. The key to understanding this paradox, Cholbi says, is that grief offers us a unique and powerful opportunity to grow in self-knowledge by fashioning a new identity. Although grief can be tumultuous and disorienting, it also reflects our distinctly human capacity to rationally adapt as the relationships we depend on evolve.

  Not intended to replace but to complement, this is a summary book of Red-Handed by Peter Schweizer, the New York Times best selling author. In his quarter-century as an investigative journalist, Peter Schweizer claims that this is the most terrifying investigation he has ever dared to tackle. 
  It's hardly unexpected that the Chinese government wants to penetrate American organizations. The amount of American elites prepared to assist the Chinese regime in its ambition for global hegemony, on the other hand, is entirely new. 
  Presidential families, Silicon Valley geniuses, Wall Street high rollers, Ivy League colleges, and even professional sportsmen are all prepared to put personal gain ahead of national security. 
  Six-time New York Times bestselling investigator Peter Schweizer reveals his most shocking revelations to date in Red-Handed, showing the covert transactions made by affluent Americans to assist China expand its military, technical, and economic strength. Moreover, many of these elites secretly feel that China's dictatorship is preferable than American democracy. 
  Schweizer and his team of forensic investigators combed through a large archive of worldwide company documents and court files for almost a year in order to uncover the covert transactions that China's facilitators thought would never be revealed. And, as Schweizer's previous exposés such as Profiles in Corruption, Secret Empires, and Clinton Cash shown, bad actors exist on both sides of the political divide. 
  Red-Handed will uncover the power link between the Chinese government and the American elites who do its bidding. It will be exhaustively researched, crisply delivered, and scary.

  Kindness - The Gentle Touch -...

  Kindness is often seen as a simple and basic concept, yet it holds immense power in transforming lives. At its core, kindness is the act of being considerate and generous without expecting anything in return. However, its effects extend far beyond the immediate gesture. Research has shown that kindness has a direct influence on mental and physical well-being, not only for the giver but also for the receiver. When we show kindness, whether through small acts like offering a smile or through more profound actions like supporting a loved one in need, we are engaging in a form of healing. The energy we radiate through kindness has the ability to uplift others, create positive connections, and promote emotional growth. 
  The power of kindness is rooted in its ability to create a ripple effect. When someone experiences an act of kindness, it often inspires them to pass it on to others. This chain reaction can spread far and wide, creating a compassionate network that has the potential to change communities and even societies. Kindness has the unique ability to bridge divides and bring people together, creating a sense of unity and understanding. 
  Moreover, studies have shown that kindness has tangible benefits for our own well-being. Acts of kindness activate the brain’s reward system, releasing endorphins, which are known as “feel-good” hormones. This not only boosts mood but also reduces stress, anxiety, and depression. Additionally, when we engage in acts of kindness, we experience a sense of purpose and fulfillment, contributing to a more meaningful life. This emotional uplift can even improve our physical health, as acts of kindness lower blood pressure and enhance heart health by reducing stress levels.
