    History is a story we’ve been told, passed down from generation to generation. It’s shaped our understanding of the world, our identity, and even the way we see ourselves in relation to others. But what if the history we know is not the complete truth? What if much of it has been hidden, distorted, or even manipulated to serve specific agendas? In this book, we will venture beyond the textbook narratives and uncover the shocking truths about some of the most significant events in history. 
      
    The importance of rethinking history cannot be overstated. History is not just a collection of dates and events; it’s the lens through which we understand our past and how we build our future. Yet, history is often written by the victors, by those in power who have the means to shape the narrative. As a result, many historical events have been oversimplified, romanticized, or distorted to fit a particular worldview. This selective storytelling often leaves out inconvenient truths and suppresses voices that challenge the established narrative. 
      
    One of the main reasons historical revisionism is necessary is because myths and misconceptions run deep. From the supposed "glory" of past empires to the image of historical figures as flawless heroes, myths become ingrained in society, influencing how we think and what we believe. These myths often serve a purpose — to maintain power structures, justify wars, or sustain national pride. However, as new evidence and perspectives emerge, we begin to realize that the past is far more complex than the simplified version we were taught.

    What Are Your Solutions to Life's Questions? 
    Here, you will find 365 questions designed to open up your mind to think about yourself and your place in the world in new ways. With these questions, you may come to powerful realizations that will help you to improve yourself, the people around you, and maybe even the world. 
    Most self-development books present you with solutions to common problems. This can be helpful, but what if those solutions work for most people, but not you? Perhaps what you need is a book of questions to help stimulate you to find useful solutions for your unique situation. Maybe you always had the solutions deep down somewhere inside of you, and you just needed the right questions to help guide you to them. 
    When you do the work of pursuing your answers to these Questions, you will be rewarded with a breakthrough in understanding your life, your place in the world, and the path that you were destined for. Understand that there is no single right answer, no one perspective that is right, there is only your personal truth that you must reveal to yourself. 
    Authors Dave Edelstein (A.B., Philosophy from Harvard University) and I. C. Robledo (M.S., Industrial-Organizational Psychology from University of Oklahoma) combine their expertise in philosophy, psychology, and self-development to provide you with questions which were designed to help you help yourself. The authors believe there is enormous potential in seeking the answers within, rather than always seeking them from sources outside of yourself.

    'I was filled with apprehension about crossing the front line, but I would have risked my life to save just one child. Ivan was giving me a chance to save them all…' 
    This is the extraordinary work of Sally Becker, a humanitarian aid worker who for over three decades has risked it all in order to help the children of war. 
    Where Angels Fear to Tread is a reminder that – with determination, unrelenting passion and drive – one person can change the lives of so many. 
    In May 1993, Sally Becker went to Bosnia to help the innocent victims of war. She started by delivering humanitarian aid to the region, and was soon hailed as the 'Angel of Mostar' for rescuing wounded children and their families from the besieged city. Sally continued her work throughout the conflict and is credited with saving many lives. 
    When President Milosevic ordered his troops into Kosovo, her missions continued, this time on foot across the mountains. While attempting to bring sick and wounded children and their families to safety, she was captured by Serb paramilitaries, but neither this nor being shot by masked gunmen in Northern Albania could make her abandon her task. 
    Bosnia was Sally's first mission and the beginning of her lifelong commitment to help rescue children caught up in some of the most horrific wars around the world, including missions to help children in Iraq, Ukraine and most recently Gaza. 
    Her account provides a rare and invaluable insight into the complexities of international aid work, the shocking reality of life on the front lines and the desperate race to save innocent children trapped in war zones. 
    This is her extraordinary story. 
    Sally Becker's autobiography, a compelling narrative of her life in the service of others, is set to be the latest bestseller in non-fiction. Her memoirs, steeped in tales of charity and social welfare, underscore the power of individual action amidst the often sluggish responses of government institutions.
