Summary

In "The Mass Killer," psychoanalyst Dr. Gerald Schoenewolf delivers a groundbreaking exploration of the psychological, familial, and cultural factors that create mass murderers. Through meticulous examination of six notorious cases—including Adam Lanza, Stephen Paddock, and Seung-Hui Cho—Schoenewolf reveals the hidden patterns and commonalities that connect these individuals beyond their tragic acts.
 
Unlike many books on this subject, Schoenewolf digs deep into the killers' early childhood experiences, uncovering how family dysfunction, parental neglect, and societal forces converged to create individuals who would eventually lash out in devastating violence. The author examines the psychological concept of "rage stages" and how unprocessed trauma and anger evolve into homicidal intent.
 
Schoenewolf challenges conventional wisdom about mass shootings, arguing that gun access is merely a means, not the cause. Instead, he points to broader cultural deterioration, including political polarization, shifting family structures, and the psychological impact of media violence on vulnerable individuals.
 
The book culminates with a thoughtful, if challenging, discussion of potential preventive measures that address the root causes of these tragedies—measures that would require significant social reform but could ultimately stem the rising tide of mass violence in America.
 
If you enjoyed "The Anatomy of Violence," "Why Kids Kill: Inside the Minds of School Shooters," and "The Evil That Men Do," you'll love "The Mass Killer: Six Case Histories That Tell Us Why."
Available since: 08/01/2023.

    [How to Recognize Toxic Cultural Norms] unravels the invisible threads that bind us to societal expectations, examining with unflinching clarity the ways we've normalized our own diminishment. Through lyrical prose that moves like morning light across familiar surfaces, this revolutionary text illuminates the subtle violences we've accepted as natural – from the reflexive smiles we offer when we'd rather not smile, to the constant internal calibration of whether we're being too much or not enough. The book delves deep into the architecture of our conditioning, revealing how cultural norms operate like gravity, invisibly shaping the trajectory of our movements through the world, while offering a compassionate framework for recognition and resistance. Drawing on intimate observations of how these patterns manifest in our bodies, relationships, and daily choices, it transforms personal awakening into collective possibility, showing how the simple act of questioning inherited wisdom becomes a radical reclamation of human authenticity.

    Eastern Inferno - The Journals...

    This book presents the remarkable personal journals of German soldier Hans Roth. Writing as events transpired, he recorded the mystery and tension as the Germans deployed on the Soviet frontier in June 1941. In these journals, battles are described in "you are there" detail, as Roth wrote privately, as if to keep himself sane, knowing that his honest accounts of the horrors in the East could never pass through Wehrmacht censors. When the Soviet counteroffensive of winter 1942 begins, his unit is stationed alongside the Italian 8th Army, and his observations of its collapse, as opposed to the reaction of the German troops sent to stiffen its front, are of special fascination. 
 
 
 
Roth's three journals were discovered many years after his disappearance, tucked away in the home of his brother, with whom he was known to have had a deep bond. After his brother's death, his family discovered them and quickly sent them to Rosel, Roth's wife. In time, Rosel handed down the journals to Erika, Roth's only daughter, who had immigrated to America. Hans Roth was doubtlessly working on a fourth journal before he was reported missing in action in July 1944 during the battle known as the Destruction of Army Group Center. Although Roth's ultimate fate remains unknown, what he did leave behind is an incredible firsthand account of the horrific war the Germans waged in Russia.
