  The epidemic of unhappiness, loneliness, and rushed lives is growing and growing. To whom should we look for help? 
  When was the last time you had a peaceful dinner with the ones you love and care about? 
  Did you answer “well…” to any of those? Be honest - we all do. To one, two, or even to all. We are constantly being rushed, pushed to do more things, have more things, and be faster, more efficient, and more successful. But it’s burning us out. Even when we reach success, we’re not happy with it. 
  The Danish may just hold the answer to that - it’s hygge, and you probably have heard about it by now. The problem is most people don’t grab the entire concept. They expect that some candles, hot cocoa, and a warm blanket will immediately solve their problems. But the full spectrum of hygge includes much more. 
  Go beyond fuzzy cardigans and lavender-scented candles. Embrace hygge to its fullest potential and give yourself true peacefulness and calmness. 
  In Hygge, you will discover: 
  • What are the main principles of hygge and how to practice them with ease 
  • What major benefits can proper hygge bring into your life 
  • How to make your home as hyggelig as possible 
  • How to do more for your tastebuds than just hot cocoa 
  And much more. 
  You will notice immediate improvements in your life. Never again give in to stress and overwhelming isolation. You too can live the frugal, happy life you always wanted. Just use the astounding practices set up by generations of Danes. 
  Hygge has many facets you are not yet aware of. It’s a real shame to leave those amazing treasures undiscovered. 
  Get your life back and hygge up!

  Unmasked - COVID Community and...

  Unmasked is the story of what happened in Okoboji, a small Iowan tourist town, when a collective turn from the coronavirus to the economy occurred in the COVID summer of 2020. State political failures, local negotiations among political and public health leaders, and community (dis)belief about the virus resulted in Okoboji being declared a hotspot just before the Independence Day weekend, when an influx of half a million people visit the town. 
   
   
   
  The story is both personal and political. Author Emily Mendenhall, an anthropologist at Georgetown University, grew up in Okoboji, and her family still lives there. As the events unfolded, Mendenhall was in Okoboji, where she spoke formally with over 100 people and observed a community that rejected public health guidance, revealing deep-seated mistrust in outsiders and strong commitments to local thinking. Unmasked is a fascinating and heartbreaking account of where people put their trust, and how isolationist popular beliefs can be in America's small communities.

  As Hispanic citizens rally to the political right, they will provide the economic, cultural, and political renaissance to save the American republic. 
   
   
   
  Hispanics have moved materially to the political right in recent years—but why? What explains this marked and sustained shift? Bad Hombres details the radicalism of the modern Democratic Party, which has turned so many outcasts into political orphans. Steve Cortes provides evidence of the massive benefits of this Hispanic surge to the right. Cortes himself has been a key driver of this mass political movement, first as the lead Hispanic face of the 2016 and 2020 Trump campaigns, and presently as the primary Latino advocate for the New Right—patriotic populism. Given this vantage point, Cortes makes a powerful case that reveals how the teetering American nation will find a national rescue by entrepreneurial, tradition-minded Hispanic citizens.

  Republic and Empire - Crisis...

  A fresh look at the American Revolution as a major global event At the time of the American Revolution (1765–83), the British Empire had colonies in India, Africa, the Caribbean, the Pacific, Canada, Ireland, and Gibraltar. The thirteen rebellious American colonies accounted for half of the total number of provinces in the British world in 1776. What of the loyal half? Why did some of Britain's subjects feel so aggrieved that they wanted to establish a new system of government, while others did not rebel? In this authoritative history, Trevor Burnard and Andrew Jackson O'Shaughnessy show that understanding the long-term causes of the American Revolution requires a global view. As much as it was an event in the history of the United States, the American Revolution was an imperial event produced by the upheavals of managing a far-flung set of imperial possessions during a turbulent period of reform. By looking beyond the familiar borders of the Revolution and considering colonies that did not rebel—Quebec, Nova Scotia, Bermuda, India, the British Caribbean, Senegal, and Ireland—Burnard and O'Shaughnessy go beyond the republican, liberal, and democratic aspects of the emerging American nation, providing a broader history that transcends what we think we know about the Revolution.

  This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
   
  The great Manly P. Hall once said: “To live in the world without becoming aware of the meaning of the world is like wandering about in a great library without touching the books.” 
   
  Magic is key to understanding our existence and Manly P. Hall knew this. It is is much more than the tricks of a children’s entertainer. Magic is all there is. In fact the word comes down to us originally from Old Persian and means “to have power”. Understanding true magic brings us power. 
   
  There are many things we can learn from our foray into the world of magic. Of these many things, this film will focus in on the mystical world, the magical world, the strange and wonderful. Within magic we will find reality like never before. It is the very fabric of the universe in which we live out our lives. 
   
  For us to be able to understand magic, we have to understand the science behind the fabric of existence. It is within the mind expanding complexities of quantum physics that we will discover the truth behind the secrets of magic that our ancestors searched for. Knowledge is magic and magic is powerful. 
   
  Prepare to be empowered.
