Sinopsis

Peer Pressure Effects explores how external influences, particularly from peers, can significantly contribute to addictive behaviors. It argues that social dynamics often overshadow individual willpower, challenging the traditional view of addiction as solely a personal failing. The book delves into the subtle ways peer pressure manifests, including normalized behaviors and the desire for social acceptance, highlighting how these factors can be catalysts for substance abuse and other addictive habits. For example, the book analyzes the psychological vulnerabilities, such as low self-esteem, that amplify the effects of external pressures.

The book examines the direct impact of peer influence on initiating addictive behaviors and the sustaining role of social circles in maintaining them. Through case studies and research findings, it illustrates the impact of peer pressure on various types of addiction, including substance abuse and internet addiction. The book progresses from defining peer pressure and exploring psychological vulnerabilities to analyzing specific contexts like school environments and online communities.

The book also offers practical prevention strategies for resisting peer pressure and fostering supportive environments. By understanding the dynamics of social influence, readers can develop strategies for making healthier choices. This approach makes the book valuable to students, parents, educators, and mental health professionals seeking to prevent addiction and support those struggling with addictive behaviors.

Life and Death at Abbey Gate -...

Robert Conlin, Mikael Cook

"...a brutal, honest account by an American veteran of what went wrong and how a few determined people tried to make it right. Beautifully crafted and deeply researched, it marks a vital contribution to the accounts that have come out of the War on Terror."— Sebastian Junger, New York Times bestselling author

As the American government began a disastrous mass evacuation of its Afghan allies, a group of American veterans saw the writing on the wall—the people who had supported them on the ground over the past two decades were going to be left behind. Instead of watching on the sideline, they sprang into action. The effort became known nationally as #DigitalDunkirk, in reference to the civilian aspect of the evacuation of soldiers from the beaches of Dunkirk in 1940. As America's last days in Afghanistan came to a chaotic end, an ad-hoc group of veterans, intelligence assets and legislative aides undertook an extraordinary mission to honor the U.S. battlefield creed to leave no comrade behind.

Relying on cell phones and satellites as their weapons, they worked feverishly around the clock to help evacuate as many Afghans who had supported U.S. troops over the past twenty years as possible. As the desperate mass of Afghans tried to flee brutal Taliban rule, Marines of the 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines, worked at Hamid Karzai International Airport's Abbey Gate in conditions that brought combat-hardened veterans to tears. After an ISIS suicide bomber detonated his S-vest, killing 13 U.S. service members, operations came to a halt.

Told through the eyes of Mikael, his Afghan friend Abdul and the 2/1 Marines on the ground, including a Marine squad leader who personally led the Afghans through the airport, Life and Death at Abbey Gate tells the story behind the story of the mass evacuation of over 124,000 Americans and Afghan allies during a two-week period in the summer of 2021.

This is an important story that should be read by all Americans. A story of leadership, empty government promises and the convictions of our military to stand by our allies in their time of need.

Humans Not Robots: When Elite...

Michail Antonio

Michail Antonio wants you to know what it actually feels like to earn a living from playing professional football. 
Michail Antonio has been around the block and done the hard yards, breaking through the tough way, via grassroots non-league football not through an Academy – a testament to his resilience and commitment. 
He wants you to know the truth of existing in a world where professional football and ‘real life’ collide. What happens when life inevitably gets in the way and has a negative impact on performance? What is it like to feel the full dehumanising force of his harshest online critics and yet still be expected to perform as if he doesn’t have a care in the world? 
With intelligence and thoughtfulness, his book uncovers this unique way of earning a living, peeling back its layers and charting the daily realities. 
He wants to show you the very ‘human’ aspects of life as an elite sportsperson, good and bad – the parts of the job that the fans don’t see or even consider. 
More than anything, though, Michail Antonio would like you to see professional footballers as humans, not robots. 
As a non-fiction blend of autobiography and biography, HUMANS NOT ROBOTS delivers a latest, up-coming voice in soccer that reframes recreation through the lens of real social pressure. Antonio threads cultural insight through the narrative and speaks directly to discrimination and the essay-like truths that fans need to hear.
