  Do you seek the truth? 
   
   
   
  Do you value reason, science, and independent thinking? Are you skeptical of beliefs that people maintain merely "on faith," yet you remain interested in the big questions of life? Do you hope there could be a greater purpose to the universe, if only that were realistic? 
   
   
   
  If so, then philosopher Joshua Rasmussen can encourage you in your journey. Beginning with his own story of losing faith and the belief in any ultimate purpose in life, he then builds a bridge to a series of universal truths about ultimate reality. Using only the instruments of reason and common experience, Rasmussen constructs a pathway—step by step, brick by brick—that he argues can lead to meaning and, ultimately, a vision of God.

  Fiasco - The Battle for Boston

  The story of the movement to desegregate Boston’s public schools through busing—and the backlash that followed. 
   
  In 1974, a federal judge ruled that Boston’s public schools were unconstitutionally segregated. The solution? A controversial experiment in desegregation known as “busing,” which would take children from majority-white schools and bus them to predominantly Black schools, and vice versa. What followed was a year of upheaval, violence, and fierce protests, as Boston became a battleground for the heated national debate over school integration and racism in the North. 
   
  In this dramatic audiobook full of surprising twists and fascinating characters, journalist Leon Neyfakh (co-creator of the podcasts Slow Burn and Fiasco) unpacks the history of busing in Boston and brings to life the human stories behind the headlines by talking to the people who saw what happened with their own eyes. Combining historical analysis with firsthand accounts, Fiasco explores not only the impact of busing in Boston, but the larger questions about race, politics, and the struggle for equal education that continue to reverberate in America half a century later.

  “My life would be so much better if they weren’t in it.” If you find yourself thinking this a lot, chances are you’re dealing with a particularly difficult person who has made it their life’s mission to bother you. While you’d think that getting rid of that one person will solve all your problems, you’ll most likely encounter someone else just like them sometime in the future.  
  Difficult people are everywhere, and there’s no escaping them. Thinking that you can get rid of people you dislike is just wishful thinking. After all, can you really get rid of your boss or your in-laws? 
  Instead of avoiding them or cutting them out of your life, changing your approach to dealing with difficult people is the correct way to go about this problem. However, this book doesn’t guarantee that you’ll never have a problem with a difficult person again. On the contrary, life's problems, arguments, and disputes are quite inevitable. You’re bound to come across people who disagree with you and have no room for personal growth. At this point, instead of getting frustrated, you should opt for healthy ways to deal with such people, which is what this book is all about.

  Physical therapy is a healthcare profession dedicated to improving movement, restoring function, and alleviating pain in individuals affected by injury, illness, or disability. It plays a crucial role in rehabilitation, preventing further complications, and enhancing overall quality of life. By employing evidence-based techniques, physical therapists help patients regain mobility, reduce discomfort, and achieve optimal physical health. 
  The origins of physical therapy can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where massage and exercise were used for healing. However, modern physical therapy emerged during the early 20th century, particularly in response to the need for rehabilitating soldiers injured in World War I. Since then, the field has evolved significantly, incorporating advanced scientific principles, innovative treatment modalities, and a multidisciplinary approach to patient care. 
  A physical therapist is a highly trained healthcare professional specializing in diagnosing and treating movement disorders. Their role extends beyond rehabilitation, encompassing injury prevention, pain management, and patient education. Physical therapists work in diverse settings, including hospitals, private clinics, sports facilities, rehabilitation centers, and home healthcare services. They collaborate with physicians, occupational therapists, and other healthcare professionals to develop comprehensive treatment plans tailored to individual patient needs.
