    This book is a summary of The oqual Cycle without an in-depth analysis.  
    Briefly, almost every nation today is teetering on the brink of a societal meltdown as it finds itself in the midst of a sociopolitical upheaval, the like of which has not hitherto been witnessed in our lifetime. 
    Yet, hardly anyone realizes that like a winter that returns every year, such a concerted turmoil across the globe is also periodic due to what I have dubbed the "oqual cycle". 
    On the basis of scientific reasoning and mathematical modeling of history over the past 600 years, the oqual cycle posits that human civilization seemingly undergoes a sweeping global reset once every 84 years on average in order to purge itself of a plethora of wrongdoings from the societal ills through excesses and imbalances to transgressions amassed over that multidecadal period. 
    Unfortunately, there is no free music as one must pay the piper. 
    Indeed, such a societal reboot (or revitalization) is typically accomplished through a global conflict with the potential to not only wreak havoc but also strike fear into the hearts and minds of people on an apocalyptic scale so that they can put their sociopolitical differences aside and come together for the common good of the world at large. 
    The oqual cycle therefore lends human society a subtle albeit deadly mechanism to break ties with its dysfunctional past in order to begin anew rather than being held hostage from moving forward under its own weight, or even worse, continue down the rabbit hole in perpetuity with the potential for self-destruction. 
    Taken together, Summary of The Oqual Cycle is a must-read for everyone in that it will not only dramatically transform your perspective on how you view the world but it will also become your best companion to guide you as you navigate the dire fallout from the ongoing sociopolitical upheaval around much of the globe over the next decade or so.

    Fiat Money Inflation in France

    "Fiat Money Inflation in France" is a book written by Andrew Dickson White, a prominent historian and diplomat, which explores the causes and consequences of the inflationary period in France during the late 18th century. 
    The book describes the financial crisis that occurred in France during the French Revolution, when the government began printing vast amounts of paper money, known as assignats, to fund its war efforts and other expenditures. The resulting inflation had devastating effects on the economy, causing widespread poverty, social unrest, and political instability. 
    White analyzes the economic and political factors that contributed to the inflation, including the government's reliance on paper money, the lack of fiscal discipline, and the breakdown of the tax system. He also examines the impact of the inflation on various sectors of society, such as farmers, merchants, and workers, and the role of inflation in fueling political radicalism and the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. 
    Overall, "Fiat Money Inflation in France" is a seminal work on the history of money and inflation, and is often cited as a cautionary tale for governments and central banks about the dangers of excessive money creation

    What lies behind the greatness of Lincoln, Gandhi, Mandela, Einstein, and Gates? And, better yet, how can YOU replicate them? Keep reading to find out!
    
    "A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: We did it ourselves." — Lao Tzu
    
    The way you think about leadership serves as the basis for your motivations.
    
    Is it to rule and wield power? Is it for personal gain? Or is it to put yourself up to task in delivering what people long for?
    
    Many leaders, both in the past and present, have missed the mark. Most are frustratingly out of touch with the people they serve. Instead of striving for the greater good, they ruthlessly pursue personal ambitions and fancies.
    
    But, every so often, a handful of good apples rise from the muddied waters and offer a glimmer of hope through their actions, words, deeds, and ability to make things happen.
    
    How do they do it?
    
    Great leaders are constantly moving, making and learning from mistakes, and growing. Greatness involves constant and painful self-awareness, discovery, and improvement. Of course, each one is cut from a different cloth.
    
    But ALL of them share a few things in common.
    
    The growing body of literature that offers effective leadership strategies has given others the keys to adopt these themselves, one way or another.
    
    In "Modern Leadership Lessons From the World's Greatest" by Paul A. Wyatt, you will discover timeless qualities of 8 extraordinary leaders and how to develop these game-changing skills in yourself.
    
    In the 8 leaders that are highlighted in "Modern Leadership Lessons From the World's Greatest", you will read about compelling insights, tips, experiences, and advice that are brilliantly formatted to effectively draw leadership lessons from history's best to enable you to replicate them today.

    Read by the author. 
    Injustice, division, and suffering may loom large in this broken world, but you have the power to stand up for truth, unity, and healing. Join writer, motivational speaker, humanitarian, and NFL veteran Sam Acho as he gives you the courage you need to be a changemaker. 
    When gold is put into a crucible over a fire, the impurities (known as "dross") rise to the top. When faced with extreme heat, these precious metals are purified. Nothing about the metal’s essential makeup changes, but the impurities in them are brought to the surface, leaving behind precious gold. 
    America is in a crucible right now--and maybe you are, too. The pandemic has strained an already struggling economy, longstanding cultural and political divisions have reached a boiling point, and injustices have been brought into the spotlight in ways that we can no longer ignore. But the thing about crucibles is that they bring out both the worst and the best of us. 
    As you read Change Starts with You, you'll be:Inspired to discover and follow your fire--the unique passions that God has put in each of our heartsEquipped to dream big, channeling your passions into creating positive change wherever God has called youEncouraged by Acho's firsthand accounts of communities transformed by people with the courage and tenacity to follow their own fireMotivated to be a leader who empowers others to become changemakers too 
    Praise for Change Starts with You: 
    "Sam is a refreshing voice that the world so needs right now. This book is not a 'how to,' but a 'to do.' Sam is the spark to refire and refuel you like only Sam can, to become a force for good and live the unlimited life we've imagined in both a relatable and aspirational way. I can't wait for him to inspire you to take action in the same way he's inspired me." 
    --Molly Qerim, philanthropist and host of First Take on ESPN
