    My Journeys in Economic Theory

    Edmund Phelps is among the most important economists of his generation. He developed a new understanding of unemployment and inflation and went on to rethink the roots of innovation. 
     
     
     
    In this book, Phelps tells the story of his role in reshaping economic theory, offering a powerful personal account of a creative and rewarding career. My Journeys in Economic Theory charts two major phases of Phelps's work, illuminating the breadth of his contributions to the field. First, introducing the expectations of wage setters and cofounding the "equilibrium" rate of unemployment, he built the microeconomic foundations for the employment theory pioneered by Keynes and Hicks. More recently, he conceived a theory of "mass flourishing" in which individuals' creativity and society's dynamism fuel grassroots innovation and generate job satisfaction in the process. 
     
     
     
    Phelps recounts his vivid experiences in the world of economics as well as his relationships with luminaries such as John Rawls, Thomas Nagel, Paul Samuelson, and Paul Volcker. At its core, this book shares the joy of intellectual achievement: the excitement of coming up with a new idea that radically departs from prevailing views and the satisfaction of exercising one's own ingenuity instead of applying or developing others' models.

    Let’s face it, the world as it is today wasn’t designed for neurodivergent people! 
    This means that as a neurodivergent, you need tools to help you through the tough times as best as possible. One of the best ways to do this is by working within the framework of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, also known as DBT. 
    DBT skills are very handy and helpful, but here’s the rub, it’s not often that they’re taught in a way that helps people who are neurodivergent. This is why this workbook has been written. Unlike other books out there, you’ll find this one very practical, and at no point will you be left scratching your head about what to do or how to be better at dealing with life’s stressors. It is written and narrated in simple English, and everything you’ll learn is clearly and concisely stated. You’ll be able to pick up these skills easily, working at your own pace. 
    Here the most relevant themes covered:What is neurodivergence? A brief overview to help you understand better Are you neurodivergent? Self-evaluation test, positive sides, and success storiesDialectical Behavioral Therapy: the current gold standard of psychotherapyStrategies for stress, anger, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and intrusive thoughtsDaily plan for emotional well-being 
    This workbook isn’t written with the intent to change your personality at its core. It is meant to help you figure out your emotions and regulate them, so they don’t overwhelm you to a crippling point. The exercises here will help you learn healthy coping mechanisms for when you’re overwhelmed. They’ll help you get better at learning what you need, stating those needs clearly, and meeting them yourself when required.

    Bizarre Laws & Curious Customs...

    In the UK, we have some bizarre laws that have littered the statute books of our sceptred isle throughout history. Not all of them have been repealed over the centuries. Some of them made perfect sense at the time they were introduced but seen through modern eyes, now appear archaic and draconian. Despite the great efforts of the Law Commission in England and Wales to review and recommend reforms for many of these outdated laws, there are centuries of law that must be painstakingly gone through. 
    As well as some bizarre laws, the UK also has its fair share of curious customs and time-honoured traditions that have been observed for centuries. On the surface, many appear to be nothing more than theatrical pomp and pageantry. However, they are all born from strong rationale. 
    The UK parliament seems to have had a particular penchant for passing laws related to fish and animals, indecency and passing sentences with some humiliating public punishments. 
    This book is a highly entertaining read for anyone who enjoys learning about the more bizarre applications of UK law throughout the centuries, along with some rather macabre consequences along the way. 
    Have you ever heard a bizarre law and thought, that can’t possibly be true? Is it genuine? Was it ever in existence or just an urban myth that became so embellished over time? There are surprisingly, a great many laws still in existence on the statute books today, that would make your jaw drop. Whilst bizarre as these laws may now seem to us, it begs the question, are we in fact, unknowingly breaking these laws on a regular basis? 
    With over 130 bizarre but nevertheless true, laws and customs, you can use this book to satisfy your curiosity about what our ancestors had to contend with over the years, or perhaps as a reference guide for trivia quizzes.

The narrative explores themes of identity, loyalty, and the psychological effects of trauma. It examines the complex relationship between Michael and his family, as he struggles with their twisted version of love, and the horrifying secrets they keep.
