Self-Obsession - How our need...

Dr. Tom Davies

There is one point that contemporary psychology and centuries old Eastern Buddhist and Taoist teachings agree on: if you wish to experience less suffering, you must change the way you see yourself. But what if the change that is needed is to let go of our selves entirely? What does this mean for those of us living in an increasingly self-obsessed and individualistic society? 
 
 
 
In this compassionate and galvanizing book, Dr. Tom Davies gently invites you to consider the basic elements that define who you are. 
 
 
 
● In Part One, get to know your self. From the ground up, discover what the self truly is, how it links to identity, and how self-obsession is central to the human condition and the psychological pain that each of us experience. 
 
 
 
● In Part Two, overcome self-obsession. Free yourself from your psychological prison, and learn how to live the peaceful and joyful life that you deserve. 
 
 
 
With a fresh and lucid style, Dr. Tom Davies combines his knowledge of the medical, psychological, and the philosophical to bring you real solutions to life's most challenging problems.

Think It Over - How to Use...

Oliver L. North, David L. Goetsch

In the past, one of the most cherished American values was the truth. When people dealt with dilemmas, issues, opinions, and decisions, their first question was “What is the truth in this situation?” Now people are concerned only with what they think, feel, and want.  
We have lost touch with the importance of truth in our lives. This reality has resulted in a society in abject turmoil and confusion.  
 
Perhaps the greatest failure of the American school system is in turning out generations without the ability to carefully think through what they see, read, and hear. This book is the path for our return to truth.

The Dark Side of Winston...

Davis Truman

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
What if the hero of World War II wasn’t as heroic as history remembers?
Winston Churchill is widely celebrated as the indomitable leader who stood against tyranny and rallied a nation in its darkest hour. But behind the rousing speeches and iconic persona lies a far more complicated figure—one whose decisions, beliefs, and actions raise hard questions about power, privilege, and morality.
The Dark Side of Winston Churchill strips away the myth to reveal the man—and forces us to confront the full truth of his legacy.
This provocative and deeply researched book examines the contradictions, controversies, and consequences of Churchill’s political career, from his involvement in the Bengal Famine and colonial repression to his perspectives on race, empire, and social class. Drawing on primary sources, personal letters, and historical records, it paints a nuanced portrait of a man revered by some and reviled by others.
Inside, you’ll discover:
How Churchill’s imperialist ideology shaped British policies from India to Africa
His controversial decisions during World War II—and their human cost
The political maneuvering and rhetoric that built his myth while obscuring uncomfortable truths
How Churchill’s legacy continues to influence modern politics, nationalism, and historical memory
History isn’t just what we remember—it’s also what we choose to forget.
👉 Buy The Dark Side of Winston Churchill today and take a bold step beyond the myth.

Byzantine-Seljuk Wars The: The...

Editors Charles River

By the end of the Byzantine Empire’s existence, the old age had weakened both the state and church, making it an easy target for invading forces.  
	The most notable invaders were the the Turkish-speaking Seljuks, led through a series of battles by Kutalmishouglu Suleiman, who supported different usurpers against the Byzantine emperor. The expansion of the Seljuks was so successful that when Suleiman died, he had put all of Bithynia under his control as well as several important harbor towns along the shores on the Asian side of Bosphorus. With that accomplishment, he had managed to separate the Byzantines living in Anatolia from their emperor in Constantinople. This immediately weakened the unity of the Byzantine Empire.  
	When another invading Muslim army took control of what is now Syria, Israel, and Northern Africa, the dismembered Byzantine Empire lost significant portions of land, but that allowed it to grow into a smaller and stronger unity. It took a lot of power struggles and battles on many fronts for the empire to recapture some of the lands, but gradually the Byzantine Empire lost all influence in Anatolia. By the end of the 11th century, the Hellenic culture and Greek language were replaced by Islam and Turkish.  
	Of all the conflicts that brought this state of affairs into being, few were as instrumental as the Battle of Kapetron, the culmination of one of the first major Seljuk raids into Byzantine territory. It represented not just a clash of ethnicities, cultures, and religions, but also a harbinger of a changing of the guard, and one that would shape geopolitics in the region for the next several centuries.
