  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  “Lovecraft Country” by Matt Ruff blends historical racism with elements of cosmic horror. Set in 1950s America, the story follows Atticus Turner as he embarks on a road trip to find his missing father. Along the way, Atticus and his companions, George and Letitia, encounter both the harsh realities of racial segregation and supernatural forces tied to an ancient family legacy. The novel explores themes of heritage, power, and resistance, weaving together personal struggles against systemic oppression with chilling encounters with dark magic and occult practices, ultimately questioning the boundaries between reality and the supernatural.

  A+ Parenting - The Surprisingly...

  Eva Moskowitz, founder of the highly lauded Success Academy Charter Schools, shares her advice for raising smart, successful, and intellectually engaged children. 
  Eva Moskowitz has built a national reputation as the founder and leader of Success Academy Charter Schools, one of the country’s most highly regarded networks of schools, but while most people know Eva for her success in educating 20,000 mainly low-income students who are routinely accepted to our nation’s best universities, she has also been responsible for raising three children of her own. In A+ Parenting, Eva shares what she has learned both as a parent and an educator about raising children to be enthusiastic and successful learners. 
  Eva’s most important message is that parents can and should play a critical role in their children’s intellectual development. Each year, children only spend about 180 days in school; how they spend the remaining 185 days is up to their parents. Children who continue to learn when they are out of school will make far more progress than those who don’t, but parents need not attempt to recreate school at home. Instead, they can encourage their children to engage in fun activities that will have a huge impact on their creativity, intellectual curiosity, and attention span.  
  A+ Parenting is every parent’s must-have guide to enriching every aspect of a child’s life, from the morning carpool to the soccer field to the dinner table—without having to hire tutors or carve out more hours in the day. Moskowitz explains how to take the time you’re already spending with your children and make it more fulfilling and intellectually stimulating for them. The book is full of practical guidance such as:Which extracurricular activities are best for a child’s development.How children can learn by watching movies and playing games—and why you should reach for chess or Monopoly over checkers or Candyland.How to help your child overcome a learning disability and ensure it doesn’t undermine their self-confidence.Why getting angry at children doesn’t work but expressing disappointment does. 
  In addition to advice, this book is filled with carefully curated lists of educational activities, including games to play, movies to watch, puzzles to solve, books to read, music to listen to, and experiments to perform. These activities, supported with love and joy, are all parents need to turn their children into lifelong learners. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Two types of confidence are discussed, and one of them is a trap. In the end, the episode deals with handling criticism. Imagine if you were more confident from now onwards, how would that influence your relationships and work? What risks would you take if you were more confident? Go ahead and listen!

  "Shadow Dancing" is illuminating and transformative, with a passionate plea to shift from the conventional medical model to a more nuanced, trauma-aware, and integrated methodology. 
  Drawing from his rich experiences as a nurse in addiction treatment centres in the Netherlands and the UK, Paul du Buf champions the importance of a holistic understanding of addiction, exploring the complex interplay between trauma and addiction and articulating the significant steps required for services to transition successfully into becoming trauma-aware. 
  "Shadow Dancing" urges the inclusion of aspects of the Polyvagal model, Integral theory, and Internal Family Systems model into addiction treatments, adding depth to its narrative. This work is the culmination of Paul du Buf's years of knowledge and skill, amalgamated into a compelling blueprint for the future of addiction treatment. Number of pages: 110.
