Sinossi

The War of 1812 pitted the United States and its indigenous allies against the United Kingdom, its dependent colonies in North America, indigenous allies, and Spain. The conflict officially commenced on June 18, 1812, when the United States declared war on the United Kingdom, and it concluded on December 24, 1814, with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent. Although the treaty was ratified by the British government in December 1814, it took almost two more months for the United States government to ratify it on February 17, 1815, before peace came into effect.

The core of the war revolved around the US national honor, intertwined with economic and trade issues among the US, the UK, and France. Tensions escalated, leading to the Franco-American Quasi-War and, ultimately, the Anglo-American War of 1812. The Royal Navy's practice of stopping and seizing American ships on the open sea, and impressing sailors as British subjects, even those with American citizenship certificates, were among the primary reasons behind the War of 1812. Furthermore, the 1811 Little Belt incident further exacerbated British resentment.

    Buddhist teachings and heart-centered practices from the "feminine paradigm" to embrace receptivity and bring more balance to your life, relationships, and the world. 
     
     
     
    With deeply thoughtful, lyrical prose, this book invites listeners to engage with the world from a unique perspective that encourages feeling, intuitive understanding, embodiment, interdependence, and sacredness. Weaving together classical Theravada Buddhist teachings and mindfulness practices, the book teaches us when and how to channel our receptive and active orientations—sometimes called the feminine and masculine paradigms—to feel more at home in ourselves and the world and drop more deeply into the Buddhist teachings on suffering and happiness. 
     
     
     
    Rebecca Bradshaw, a respected Buddhist teacher in the Insight Meditation community, offers teachings that are simple yet require us to explore aspects of ourselves that go against much of our social conditioning that values goal-oriented busyness, productivity, independence, outgoing energy, and other “active” qualities. When overemphasized, this orientation can cause destructive emotions and behaviors, but we can counter them by embracing more receptive qualities. The receptive or feminine paradigm takes us deeper into the heart of the classical Buddhist teachings, leading to openness and freedom of the heart-mind.

    Who’s your biggest enemy? Possibly you?Enemy Mode is an immensely damaging brain state that occurs in everyday life. In enemy mode, a person sees and experiences others as adversaries. Living in this mode poisons family and community bonds. It contributes to social stress, business failure, divorce, alienation, domestic violence, crime, racism, and international violence. Social media magnifies the impact of enemy mode toward almost all topics or persons imaginable.Longtime author and neuropsychologist Dr. Jim Wilder explains how the brain develops enemy mode and searches for ways to get the brain to “refriend.” Since a brain in enemy mode cannot tell when someone is trying to help, it rejects or attacks its allies, including refrienders. Wilder puts his years of research to the test in assessing the impossible task put forth by the Christian faith: to love one’s enemies.  After being trained in enemy mode through the military, business, and even friendships, retired Brigadier General Ray Woolridge comes alongside Wilder, bringing the reader on his journey of learning to refriend. He interviews leaders in sports, business, the military, law enforcement, politics, health care, and education, assessing the enemy mode impact on lives and culture.  Can Wilder and Woolridge figure out how enemy mode works and craft a solution? And can they get people and institutions to implement those solutions? This book is for all who desire to be better equipped to face the barrage of daily relational stressors that come at them. It’s for all who long for more harmonious relationships at home, in the workplace, and in their communities.

    Polynesian mythology is a vast and intricate tapestry of stories, gods, and legendary heroes that have shaped the cultures of the Pacific Islands for centuries. Spanning across a region known as the Polynesian Triangle—bounded by Hawaii, New Zealand (Aotearoa), and Easter Island (Rapa Nui)—these myths have been passed down through generations via oral tradition. Each island group has its own variations, yet many of the themes, characters, and cosmic beliefs remain deeply connected, reflecting a shared ancestry and worldview.  
      
    At the heart of Polynesian mythology is a deep reverence for nature and the forces that shape the world. The ocean, sky, and land are not merely elements of the physical environment but sacred entities, often personified by gods and spirits. The vast Pacific, for example, is not only a means of travel but also a living force, ruled by deities like Tangaroa, the god of the sea. The sun, moon, stars, and winds play crucial roles in these legends, guiding great navigators and influencing the balance of life.  
      
    Oral tradition is the foundation of Polynesian storytelling. Before the arrival of writing, myths and legends were preserved through chants, songs, and performances. Storytellers, often elders or priests, ensured that each retelling remained faithful to tradition while also adapting to the audience and setting. This fluidity allowed myths to evolve while maintaining their core meanings. Through these stories, people learned about their ancestry, moral values, and the origins of their world.
