Sinossi

John Stuart Mill was a British philosopher, political economist and civil servant. He was an influential contributor to social theory, political theory and political economy. He has been called "the most influential English-speaking philosopher of the nineteenth century". Mill's conception of liberty justified the freedom of the individual in opposition to unlimited state control. He was a proponent of utilitarianism, an ethical theory developed by Jeremy Bentham. Hoping to remedy the problems found in an inductive approach to science, such as confirmation bias, he clearly set forth the premises of falsifiability as the key component in the scientific method. Mill was also a Member of Parliament and an important figure in liberal political philosophy.

    The only book ever written in the history genre that succinctly tells the progressive and redemptive course of America as revealed in the stories behind the American holidays. 
     
    Ever wonder why everyone wants to immigrate to America? Rediscovering America answers that question, and it’s like no other history you have ever read. More than an account of people, dates, and events, this story is about the hidden  
    hand of a purposeful historical development where the main actors are colorful characters, participating in an American drama of little known but remarkable events where overcoming incredible odds of failure is more unbelievable and  
    engaging than fiction. And while each chapter is a stand-alone tale—some quite wild—about what is behind each of the American holidays, the page- and chapterturning appeal of Rediscovering America is in the narratives that link the holiday  
    stories together, revealing an account of progress and redemption in America covering over four hundred years—never before told in a concise and readable book.

This deep dialogue explores the collective rite of passage we are experiencing and how using the wisdom of myths gives us a roadmap to the renewal of life itself.

    Still struggling from the effects of a narcissistic or psychopathically abusive relationship? 
    Many people do and sadly there is very little information available to be found online or in the written research, or with counsellors and therapists that can help. Narcissistic Victim Syndrome is not officially recognised, nor is it widely even known. 
    Even when it is accepted, recognised and known not many people seem to know what to DO ABOUT IT to heal it… The fact is being in a relationship with a narcissist over a long period of time has long lasting traumatic effects that can be extremely catastrophic to the person suffering them. 
    Do the following symptoms sound familiar? 
    - Ruined self confidence 
    - Doubting yourself and your sanity 
    - Mood swings 
    - Sleeplessness 
    - Extreme weight loss or weight gain 
    - Uncharacteristic jealousy/ insecurity 
    - Feeling like you don’t know the difference between right and wrong 
    - Extreme paranoia (being turned into an obsessive detective) 
    - Endless, repetitive obsessive thinking about your ex 
    - Constantly trying to find explanations for what has happened 
    - Feelings of helplessness and despair 
    - A desire to self isolate 
    - Feeling desperately misunderstood 
    - Overwhelming feelings of loss and grief 
    - An inability to be comfortable with yourself 
    - Strange dreams 
    - Sudden inexplicable anxiety followed by rapid dips into depression 
    The list goes on…. 
    I can’t promise you that reading to this book is going to be a “total cure”, but I can promise that if you APPLY YOURSELF DILLIGENTLY, take notes, read and re-read the chapters, follow all instructions to the letter, with a tenacious resolve to get better you will feel an instant decrease in anxiety within the first 24 hours and should see huge improvements within the first 3 days.

We depend on our community and are a part of it. No matter how right your family is, without the community you cannot survive. In the past, there has been too much emphasis on one’s continent, region, and religion. Now that sort of thinking is considered outdated. What we really need is a sense of oneness among seven billion human beings. This could be one of the positive outcomes of the coronavirus crisis.” —His Holiness the Dalai Lama
