Sinopsis

In 'The Romantic Settlement of Lord Selkirk's Colonists: The Pioneers of Manitoba,' George Bryce meticulously chronicles the settlement efforts undertaken by Lord Selkirk and his colonists within the rugged landscapes of early 19th-century Canada. Richly infused with historical detail and vivid descriptions, Bryce's narrative oscillates between the romantic ideals of colonization and the harsh realities faced by these early pioneers. Employing a blend of narrative history and personal anecdotes, the work situates itself within the broader context of colonial expansion, migration, and the cultural encounters that shaped the Canadian Prairies. George Bryce, a notable Canadian historian and author, brings a deep personal and professional connection to his subject matter. His extensive research in the region and interest in the interactions of diverse cultural groups serve as a foundation for understanding the complexities and triumphs of Lord Selkirk's project. Born in 1844 in what was then the British North America, Bryce's own experiences as a descendant of settlers enrich his exploration of the trials and aspirations of the colonists he writes about. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in understanding the intricate tapestry of Canadian history through the lens of colonization. Bryce's engaging prose and passionate storytelling invite not only scholars but also casual readers to explore a pivotal yet romanticized chapter in the development of Manitoba. Join Bryce on this enlightening journey, and gain a deeper appreciation of the sacrifices and dreams that defined Manitoba's early settlers.

    In this highly engaging and eminently practical book—told in the form of a Platonic dialogue recounting real-life patient experiences—Drs. Lickerman and ElDifrawi assert that the reason genuine, long-lasting happiness is so difficult to achieve and maintain is that we're profoundly confused not only about how to go about it but also about what happiness is. 
     
     
     
    In identifying nine basic erroneous views we all have about what we need to be happy—views they term the core delusions—Lickerman and ElDifrawi show us that our happiness depends not on our external possessions or even on our experiences but rather on the beliefs we have that shape our most fundamental thinking. These beliefs, they argue, create ten internal life-conditions, or worlds, through which we continuously cycle and that determine how happy we're able to be. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on the latest scientific research as well as Buddhist philosophy, Lickerman and ElDifrawi argue that once we learn to embrace a correct understanding of happiness, we can free ourselves from the suffering the core delusions cause us and enjoy the kind of happiness we all want, the kind found in the highest of the Ten Worlds, the world of Enlightenment.

    This study of sexuality in seventeenth-century Latin America takes the listener beneath the surface of daily life in a colonial city. Cartagena was an important Spanish port and the site of an Inquisition high court, a slave market, a leper colony, a military base, and a prison colony—colonial institutions that imposed order by enforcing Catholicism, cultural and religious boundaries, and prevailing race and gender hierarchies. The city was also simmering with illegal activity, from contraband trade to prostitution to heretical religious practices. Nicole von Germeten's research uncovers scandalous stories drawn from archival research in Inquisition cases, criminal records, wills, and other legal documents. The stories focus largely on sexual agency and honor: an insult directed at a married woman causes a deadly street battle; a young doña uses sex to manipulate a lustful, corrupt inquisitor. Scandals like these illustrate the central thesis of this book: women in colonial Cartagena de Indias took control of their own sex lives and used sex and rhetoric connected to sexuality to plead their cases when they had to negotiate with colonial bureaucrats.

    WHAT I’M PROPOSING IS A METHOD OF TECHNIQUES FOR THE MARKETER (YOU) TO: 
    Fall behind the noise  
    Open access to your full spectrum of emotions first.  
    Marketers can not make anyone feel. No body has control over someone else's feelings. Emotions simply... exist. In context. 
    Marketers can create stimuli to activate a customer’s nervous system and trigger a purchase behavior. 
    My book explores how to unpack societal “shoulds” from a personal level. Taking this a step further, I then translate this exact concept to specific case studies and marketing strategies we see live in today’s marketplace. Side by side I compare the factual outputs with how it would look using the applied Core Method.  
    My hope is that The Holistic Marketer activates a flicker from YOUR core, inspiring you to connect your own dots from a place of kind curiosity, unlocking access to a soft landing as you make decisions among others in the moment.

    A Very Merry Matchup Machine

    A Very Merry Matchup Machine is a sharp, warm look at how holiday rom-coms, small towns, and well-meaning relatives turn December into a matchmaking factory—and what that does to anyone who doesn’t fit the script. Starting from the cozy chaos of a Christmas romance full of pageants, cocoa and “accidental” setups, this book opens the casing of the holiday-love machine to examine the gears underneath: the pressure to be coupled by year’s end, the way communities act like human algorithms, and the quiet shame of spending the season unresolved. 
    Rather than mocking the genre or worshipping it, A Very Merry Matchup Machine shows how these stories can be both comforting and coercive. It offers a more honest version of “merry,” one that makes room for single people who aren’t projects, relationships that begin off-season, and Decembers where the most radical pairing is you with your own life. It’s for anyone who loves holiday movies, feels strange inside them, and wants to carry the glow into January without the algorithm deciding what happiness should look like.
