  The Great Migration - African...

  The Great Migration was one of the most significant demographic shifts in American history. Between 1916 and 1970, more than six million African Americans left the rural South and moved to urban areas in the North, Midwest, and West. This movement not only changed the lives of the people who migrated but also reshaped the cultural, political, and economic fabric of the United States. 
  For many African Americans, life in the South was marked by racial discrimination, economic hardship, and constant threats of violence. Jim Crow laws enforced segregation in every aspect of public life, from schools and transportation to housing and employment. Black families lived under the constant fear of lynching and racial terror. Economically, most African Americans were trapped in sharecropping or low-wage labor, with little opportunity for advancement. 
  At the same time, the North offered a vision of hope. Industrial cities like Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, and New York had booming economies, especially during World War I and World War II, when labor shortages opened up jobs in steel mills, factories, and railroads. Though racism still existed in the North, it was often less openly violent, and African Americans had more chances to organize, vote, and build communities. This combination of “push” and “pull” factors drove millions to pack up and seek a better future.

  Ever since the end of the Black Death in 1350 the human population has been growing continuously at an alarming rate and there is no sign of it stopping anytime soon. 
   
  The biggest increase has been in most recent times. From the 1950's onward and due largely to medical advancement and the increase in agricultural productivity, the rate of increase has been significant. This in itself should tell us something. That this is a modern problem created recently and we have no precedent, no history to work upon. We don't know exactly what is going to happen. We don't know if a super virus will come along again as it did in 1918 and kill millions of people. We don't know if we will eat ourselves into mass extinction. We don't know if the destruction of natural species such as bees will seal our fate. We don't know if an asteroid will wipe us out or even artificial intelligence. We do know that overpopulation, no matter which way you look at it, is not good. We do know that we are running out of fossil fuels, food supplies, methods of producing more and more power and space. 
   
  What does the future hold for a planet that is swarming in two-legged locusts hell bent on devouring every possible resource the Earth has to offer?

  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 
  - Extreme bouts of rage 
  - An inability to be comfortable with yourself 
  The list goes on…. 
  “NOBODY UNDERSTANDS!” 
  I hear this frustrated cry from abused people a lot. 
  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.

  The Angry Therapist

  Tackling relationships, career, and family issues, John Kim, LMFT, thinks of himself as a life-style designer, not a therapist. His radical new approach, that he sometimes calls “self-help in a shot glass” is easy, real, and to the point. He helps people make changes to their lives so that personal growth happens organically, just by living.  
    
  Let’s face it, therapy is a luxury. Few of us have the time or money to devote to going to an office every week. With anecdotes illustrating principles in action (in relatable and sometimes irreverent fashion) and stand-alone practices and exercises, Kim gives readers the tools and directions to focus on what's right with them instead of what's wrong.  
    
  When John Kim was going through the end of a relationship, he began blogging as The Angry Therapist, documenting his personal journey post-divorce. Traditional therapists avoid transparency, but Kim preferred the language of ""me too"" as opposed to ""you should."" He blogged about his own shortcomings, revelations, views on relationships, and the world. He spoke a different therapeutic language —open, raw, and at times subversive — and people responded. The Angry Therapist blog, that inspired this book, has been featured in The Atlantic Monthly and on NPR.
