Sinopse

We all want the power and motivation to create change in our lives. But how to get that in a stumbling dance of one step forward and two steps back? Negative emotions run rampant in many people’s lives today; a reality that feels like a shrink wrap of suffering. Popular fallback “solutions” of performance-based goals and tools focus on extrinsic rewards like fame, wealth, or winning. But overuse of those rewards doesn’t work for the long term and in fact weakens our confidence and motivation over time, leaving us vulnerable to failure and shame.It doesn’t have to be that way. Through three decades of researching and tracking such universal struggles to change our behavior, Dr. Kyra Bobinet unveils the way out, using novel neuroscience research on a compelling new brain area, the habenula. In this book, she reveals the habenula’s powerful role in killing our motivation and causing anxiety and depression and offers a foolproof way to escape its clutches.

    "Democracy: The Political Tale" pulls readers into an exciting exploration of government complexities, directed by the author's own intimate experiences with democracy and tyranny. Leaning upon real-life events, the account digs deep into the profound effects of being forced out from a dictatorship nation and thereafter growing up in a democracy. The striking distinction between these structures influences the author's thorough study of representative democracy. 
    This book points out the issues in the way democratic systems currently work. It talks about how these systems struggle to handle the ever-changing, intricate demands of our present-day world. Elected officials becoming disconnected and a small group of people rule, despite a lack of public support, are clearly detailed—this reveals weakness in the system. The book uses smart examples to show times when agreement on vital matters couldn't be reached. It also delves into the trials presented by today's growth and society. All these details help champion the need for enhancements to our current system. 
    When the writer doubts the power of our representative democracy, a strong urge comes for decisions to include more folks and be more clear. The final parts of the book reveal personal stories, underlining the vital part democracy plays, but also being honest about its flaws. Calling for big fixes that can truly help society, "Democracy: The Political Saga" is a strong affirmation of the continuous search for a way to rule that fits well with today's complex world.

    Given the abundance of funerary artifacts that have been found within the sands of Egypt, it sometimes seems as though the Egyptians were more concerned with the matters of the afterlife than they were with matters of the life they experienced from day to day. This is underscored most prominently by the pyramids, which have captured the world’s imagination for centuries. The pyramids of Egypt are such recognizable symbols of antiquity that for millennia, people have made assumptions about what they are and why they exist, without full consideration of the various meanings these ancient symbolic structures have had over the centuries. Generations have viewed them as symbols of a lost past, which in turn is often portrayed as a world full of romance and mystery. This verbal meaning has become associated with the structures through the tourism industry, where intrigue obviously boosts ticket sales. In fact, the Egyptian pyramids are so old that they were also drawing tourists even in ancient times. In antiquity, the Great Pyramid of Giza was listed as one of Seven Ancient Wonders of the World, and it is the only one still surviving today. 
    The age and structural integrity of the pyramids also make them symbols of longevity and power, which is only fitting because those are two purposes the ancient pharaohs who commissioned these works intended them to serve. For the pharaohs, the construction of these large monuments presented an opportunity for them to showcase their influence and become something to be remembered by, both in the society they ruled and in the annals of history that would follow. Even as new dynasties came and went, and even as Egypt was subjected to foreign domination and rulers from across the world, the pyramids have continued to stand as a prominent testament to Egypt’s glorious past.

    I wish I could put this book into the hands of every man of retirement age. Buy two and give one away. - Erwin Lutzer 
    One of the things I learned in the NFL is that games are won or lost in the fourth quarter. How you finish the game typically determines the outcome. - Rick Nuzum 
    The Bible does not say anything about retirement, but it says everything about rehirement. Be a substitute teacher for your grandchildren - Ron Blue 
    Many Christian men have followed the American dream of retirement-moving to a warm climate, seeking comfort, and enjoying their golden years in leisure. But too often, the dream fades when health declines, and they return home to find distant relationships with their children and grandchildren. The years meant for rest and enjoyment can become years of regret. 
    In Helping Men Finish Well at Any Age, Dr. Duke Heller challenges men to redefine their retirement years with a purpose that aligns with God's calling. Through biblical wisdom, practical advice, and personal experience from over 60 years of marriage, Duke creates a roadmap to finishing life well-not in isolation, but in meaningful connection with family, faith, and impact. 
    Let this book guide you to a fulfilling and God-honoring finish as you prepare for the moment you hear, "Well done, good and faithful servant." 
    Invest your life in the people who will be sitting in the front row of your funeral. God cares how you finish! 
    Dr. Duke Heller is a retired dentist, devoted father, grandfather, and great-grandfather committed to the biblical principles of "finishing well." The author of two previous books draws on decades of marriage and personal experience to guide men seeking to restore and strengthen relationships with their children and grandchildren in retirement.

    Africa is huge and varied, and so is its mythology. 
    African ideas of how the world began are very different from the story of Genesis. Though the creator god is repeatedly seen as having withdrawn from the world, people often have a very direct and intense relationship with demigods, ancestors, and bush spirits. The entire landscape is permeated by spiritual meanings and inhabited by gods and spirits. While many Africans today formally follow the Christian or Muslim faiths, they often blend these beliefs with traditional lore and rites. 
    This audiobook examines the central themes of African mythology—the creation, gods and goddesses, trickster tales, animals, monsters, heroes, and mythical rulers—and shows how some motifs recur throughout the corpus of myths. It also looks at how African myths are becoming better known because of writers and filmmakers, particularly from the Black diaspora, who draw on this rich heritage for inspiration. 
    This introductory guide to African myths will allow you to do the following:Learn why the original creator decided to withdraw from Earth.Find out how ancient Egypt had several different creation stories, depending on which god was in ascendancy at the time.Listen to the medieval African emperor said to have been the richest man in history.Find out where Br’er Rabbit really came from.Check out how Anansi the Spider gained ownership of all the stories in the world.Get to know Oshun, the Yoruba river goddess, and how she arrived in Latin America.Learn about Haile Selassie, the emperor who brought Ethiopia into the League of Nations, and how he became a living god to Jamaican Rastafarians.Understand how Voodoo (Vodou) grew out of traditional West African religion.
