Hypatia

Beschreibung

Hypatia was a Neoplatonist philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician who lived in Alexandria, Egypt. She was a prominent thinker and she taught philosophy and astronomy. Ancient sources record that Hypatia was widely beloved by pagans and Christians alike and that she established great influence with the political elite in Alexandria. Toward the end of her life, Hypatia advised Orestes, the Roman prefect of Alexandria, who was in the midst of a political feud with Cyril, the bishop of Alexandria. Rumors spread accusing her of preventing Orestes from reconciling with Cyril and, in March 415 AD, she was murdered by a mob of Christians led by a lector named Peter.

Summary: Never Enough - When...

Brooks Bryant

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
This is a summary & it does not accompany the official. 
"Never Enough" by Jennifer Breheny Wallace delves into the high-pressure world of today's students, who strive relentlessly for success and often find themselves overwhelmed. This book explores the pervasive culture of toxic achievement, where students pack their schedules with activities and face intense competition, leading to rising rates of anxiety and depression. 
Wallace investigates the origins of this culture and its deep-seated roots in society, driven by income inequality and limited opportunities. Through interviews and research, the book highlights how children are absorbing the message that their worth is solely tied to their accomplishments. 
However, "Never Enough" offers a different perspective, emphasizing the importance of children feeling like they matter intrinsically, regardless of their external achievements. It advocates for parents and educators to adopt a mindset that values a child's sense of self-worth and contribution to a larger community. By doing so, the book argues, children can develop resilience, self-confidence, and psychological security. 
With insightful stories and practical guidance, "Never Enough" provides an urgent and humane perspective on the challenges facing today's teenagers and offers a framework for positive change in how we nurture and support them.

Maeve Jemison

Next, they’re indoctrinated with progressive ideologies meant to sexualize them and incite hatred for America. The fear of a gunman kicking in their classroom door constantly looms in the back of their mind. This is the loneliest, most anxious, and depressed young generation our world has possibly ever seen. Oh, and on top of all that...they might not really be a boy or a girl.

This book gives you the pro tips and encouragement to discover what millions of other parents already have: the best thing for their families is to take back control of their lives and their children’s education.

• You fear that your children won’t be adequately socialized?
• You don’t have the patience, organizational skills, or time?
• Homeschoolers are just weird!
This book dispels those lies and fifteen others that society erroneously believes. Ahead of you awaits a family bond you never imagined possible, and the role of primary guide for your child down the path God created them for.

Finding Your Third Place -...

PhD Richard Kyte

Do you have a Third Place? Your first place is home, your second place is work, and your third place is where you go to socialize. As more of our lives are spent online and in digital spaces, these often overlooked "Third Places" play a crucial role in keeping our communities vibrant. In a timely and thoughtful examination, Richard Kyte, PhD, explores the places that nurture our souls and make up the bedrock of our communities. Third Places can range from a neighborhood tavern, to a community center, to a local bookstore or coffee shop. They are the critical gathering spaces where friendships are formed, relationships are nurtured, and the tapestry of community is woven. Yet, for an ever-growing list of reasons, many people today find themselves without a third place of their own. At a time when our nation is facing an epidemic of loneliness, when communities are suffering from loss of trust, low levels of engagement, despair, and political polarization, what if the answer to many of our problems lies in a simple idea? What if we just need to pay attention to the places where we find ourselves?
