  • Raising Free People - Unschooling as Liberation and Healing Work - cover

    No one is immune to the byproducts of compulsory schooling and standardized testing. And while reform may be a worthy cause for some, it is not enough for countless others still trying to navigate the tyranny of what schooling has always been. Raising Free People argues that we need to build and work within systems designed for any human to learn, grow, socialize, and thrive, regardless of age, ability, background, or access to money. 
     
     
     
    Raising Free People explores examples of the transition from school or homeschooling to unschooling, how single parents and people facing financial challenges unschool successfully, and ways unschooling allows us to address generational trauma and unlearn the habits we mindlessly pass on to children. 
     
     
     
    In these detailed and unabashed stories and insights, Richards examines the ways that her relationships to blackness, decolonization, and healing work all combine to form relationships and enable community-healing strategies rooted in an unschooling practice. This is how millions of families center human connection, practice clear, and honest communication, and raise children who do not grow up to feel that they narrowly survived their childhoods.

    Life is real only then when I am

    In "Life is real only then, when I am" Gurdjieff gives answers to the fundamental human questions: how do I really live and what are the requirements to lead a real life? What is reality? What is existence? Has every man a given I or what must he do to acquire a real I? First of all, we have to accept that we are not awake, but asleep. The vast majority of mankind never awakens through its whole life. Only those are given the chance to become awake, who fight for it with their whole hearts and beings.

    Narrated by Matthew Schmitz of Altrusian Grace Media, this English prose version of the Ramayana is told in a story form capturing the true and authentic spirit of the original Sanskrit and which makes it easy and enjoyable to listen to. The Ramayana is one of the greatest epics of ancient literature, a monumental work that has transcended the boundaries of time and culture to become a story cherished across generations and geographies. Composed by the sage Valmiki, it is not just a tale of heroism and divine adventure, but a profound reflection on the complexities of dharma, the power of devotion, and the triumph of good over evil. Set in a world imbued with gods, demons, and the forces of nature, the Ramayana follows the journey of Lord Rama, the prince of Ayodhya, who embodies the virtues of righteousness, honor, and compassion. His exile into the forest, the abduction of his devoted wife, Sita, by the demon king Ravana, and the epic battle that ensues form the narrative’s core. Yet, within its grand scope, it is also a story of friendship, loyalty, and the resilience of the human spirit. At its heart, the Ramayana presents universal themes that resonate with readers across eras—the struggle between light and darkness, the moral dilemmas faced in the pursuit of justice, and the ultimate victory of truth. Rama’s unwavering adherence to dharma, Sita’s unparalleled faith, Hanuman’s boundless devotion, and Ravana’s tragic ambition are all rich in lessons that continue to guide and inspire. This ancient epic is more than just a chronicle of divine exploits; it is a mirror reflecting the ideals and failings of humanity. The Ramayana offers insights into values that have shaped human civilization and provides a compass for navigating the complexities of life. Its verses are steeped in poetic beauty and layered with allegorical meanings, inviting listeners not only to witness an extraordinary saga but also reflect on their own journey.

    Getting China Wrong

    The West's strategy of engagement with China has failed. More than three decades of trade and investment with the advanced democracies have left that country far richer and stronger than it would otherwise have been. But growth and development have not caused China's rulers to relax their grip on political power, abandon their mercantilist economic policies, or accept the rules and norms of the existing international system. To the contrary: China today is more repressive at home, more aggressive abroad, and more obviously intent on establishing itself as the world's preponderant power than at any time since the death of Chairman Mao. What went wrong? 
     
     
     
    Put simply, the democracies underestimated the resilience, resourcefulness, and ruthlessness of the Chinese Communist Party. For far too long, the United States and its allies failed to take seriously the Party's unwavering determination to crush opposition, build national power, and fulfill its ideological and geopolitical ambitions. In this powerfully argued study, Friedberg identifies the assumptions underpinning engagement, describes the counterstrategy that China's Communist Party rulers devised in order to exploit the West's openness while defeating its plans, and explains what the democracies must do now if they wish to preserve their prosperity, protect their security, and defend their common values.
