    What if the world doesn’t have to be this way? 
    The Philosophy opens with the most human of questions—“What’s the point?”—and dares to follow it wherever it leads. This isn’t just another thought experiment or self-help book. It’s a rallying cry for those who feel the systems around us are broken, yet refuse to believe we are powerless to change them. 
    In a world driven by competition, inequality, and disconnection, The Philosophy is your invitation to radically rethink the game. With bold, practical strategies inspired by transformative ideas like Doughnut Economics and the empowering spirit of The Secret, Alex Kain delivers a deeply personal yet universal exploration of how we can build a society rooted in justice, equity, and shared well-being—not someday, but starting now. 
    Why You Can’t Afford to Miss This Opportunity 
    - It demystifies systemic failure—revealing how poverty, homelessness, and inequality aren’t inevitable but solvable when we treat root causes, not just symptoms. 
    - It reawakens agency—offering a counter-narrative to helplessness by showing how you can contribute meaningfully to lasting social transformation. 
    - It inspires collective ambition—moving beyond personal success to challenge how we measure value, power, and impact in our communities. 
    - It’s not just a book—it’s a blueprint for anyone who wants to live with purpose and be part of something bigger than themselves. 
    This is a manifesto for the change-makers, the questioners, the quietly dissatisfied, and the fiercely hopeful. The Philosophy hands you the lens—and the tools—to see and shape a more humane future. 
    It serves as a harbinger of what is possible if we choose the road less travelled vs continuing to stay the course. Moreover, The Philosophy is an opportunity for us to uncover the world we want to gift to the future. 
    What kind of world will you help create?

    Psychoanalysis Under Occupation...

    Heavily influenced by Frantz Fanon and critically engaging the theories of decoloniality and liberatory psychoanalysis, Lara Sheehi and Stephen Sheehi platform the lives, perspectives, and insights of psychoanalytically inflected Palestinian psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals, centering the stories that nonclinical Palestinians have entrusted to them over four years of community engagement with clinicians throughout historic Palestine. 
     
     
     
    Sheehi and Sheehi document the stories of Palestinian clinicians in relation to settler colonialism and violence but, even more so, in relation to their patients, communities, families, and one another (as a clinical community). In doing so, they track the appearance of settler colonialism as a psychologically extractive process, one that is often effaced by discourses of "normalization," "trauma," "resilience," and human rights, with the aid of clinicians, as well as psychoanalysis. 
     
     
     
    Psychoanalysis Under Occupation: Practicing Resistance in Palestine unpacks the intersection of psychoanalysis as a psychological practice in Palestine, while also advancing a set of therapeutic theories in which to critically engage and "read" the politically complex array of conditions that define life for Palestinians living under Israeli occupation.
