Camel From Kyzylkum - A Memoir...

Lara Gelya

Camel from Kyzylkum: A Memoir 
What does it take to leave everything behind in search of freedom? 
Born in Ukraine and later working in the Kyzylkum Desert of Uzbekistan, Lara Gelya spent the first half of her life behind the Iron Curtain. In 1989, at the age of thirty-nine, she fled the crumbling Soviet Union as a stateless refugee — carrying little more than hope. Her journey took her across Austria and Italy before she finally reached the United States, where she began the long and difficult process of rebuilding her life. 
With honesty and vivid detail, Lara shares her experiences of growing up under Soviet rule, navigating cultural dislocation, and finding strength in the face of uncertainty. Camel from Kyzylkum is more than a memoir of immigration — it is a story of resilience, courage, and the universal search for freedom and belonging. 
Perfect for listeners of historical memoirs, refugee stories, and anyone who values the enduring power of the human spirit.

7 Signs You Might Be Scared of...

John Harpoon

Intimacy is a fundamental part of human relationships, yet for many, it can feel overwhelming, even terrifying. While the desire for deep emotional connection exists, fear often creates barriers that prevent meaningful bonds from forming. This fear of intimacy can manifest in various ways—some obvious, others more subtle—causing individuals to push people away, sabotage relationships, or struggle with vulnerability. Understanding these signs is the first step toward breaking free from the patterns that keep love and closeness at a distance.
Many people who fear intimacy are unaware of their struggle, believing their actions stem from a need for independence or personal space. While autonomy is essential, there is a significant difference between healthy boundaries and emotional avoidance. For those who experience anxiety around deep emotional or physical closeness, relationships can become a source of stress rather than comfort. The walls built to protect against hurt and rejection can also prevent the fulfillment that comes with genuine connection.
Fear of intimacy is not an isolated issue—it is often rooted in past experiences. Childhood attachment patterns, past heartbreaks, or even societal influences can shape one’s ability to trust and connect with others. If a person grew up in an environment where emotional needs were ignored or dismissed, they may learn to suppress their own feelings to avoid pain. Likewise, repeated experiences of betrayal or disappointment in relationships can reinforce the belief that intimacy leads to hurt, causing a person to unconsciously avoid closeness.

The Wall and the Bridge - Fear...

Glenn Hubbard

An informed argument for an economic policy based on bridges of preparation and adaptation rather than walls of protection and exclusion 
 
 
 
Free-market economists often have noted that there are winners and losers in a competitive capitalist world. The question of how to deal with the difficult real-life consequences faced by the losers, however, has largely been ignored. Populist politicians have tried repeatedly to address the issue by creating walls—of both the physical and economic kinds—to insulate communities and keep competition at bay. While recognizing the broad emotional appeal of walls, economist Glenn Hubbard argues that because they delay needed adaptations to the ever-changing world, walls are essentially backward-looking and ultimately destined to fail. Taking Adam Smith's logic to Youngstown, Ohio, as a case study in economic disruption, Hubbard promotes the benefits of an open economy and creating bridges to support people in turbulent times so that they remain engaged and prepared to participate in, and reap the rewards of, a new economic landscape.
