Synopsis

Loneliness Impact explores the pervasive issue of loneliness in our increasingly connected world, highlighting its profound impact on mental health and offering strategies for building meaningful social bonds. The book emphasizes that loneliness is not simply about the absence of people; rather, it’s a subjective experience arising from a gap between desired and actual connections. Did you know that loneliness can affect the same neurobiological pathways in the brain as physical pain, and that it can weaken the immune system? The book delves into the psychological mechanisms through which loneliness affects cognition, emotion regulation, and overall well-being. It examines how societal shifts, such as increased urbanization and digital communication, have contributed to the rise of social isolation. Presenting research from psychology, neuroscience, and sociology, Loneliness Impact progresses from defining core concepts like social isolation and perceived social support, to exploring the detrimental effects of loneliness on mental health, including its association with depression and anxiety.

Ultimately, this self-help resource provides evidence-based approaches to fostering connections. It details strategies for improving social skills, cultivating empathy, and challenging negative thought patterns, incorporating mindfulness and cognitive behavioral techniques. By integrating diverse research and offering practical tools and real-world examples, this book offers a unique perspective for anyone seeking to improve their emotional well-being and combat social isolation.

Along Lake Michigan - Shipwreck...

Michael Schumacher

The Great Lakes are graveyards of a vast number of shipwrecks (30,000 by some estimates), and Lake Michigan has more than the other four lakes combined. The stories of those wrecks tell the history of that mighty lake in its endless, mercurial challenge to human endeavor. 
 
 
 
Michael Schumacher charts the course of shipping disasters great and small on Lake Michigan. He illuminates the details of maritime weather and shipcraft, the lives devoted to and lost on the water, and the mistakes and monumental failures that led to these ships' watery ends. 
 
 
 
Here are tragic tales like that of the Eastland, the deadliest shipwreck in Great Lakes history, lost while docked in the Chicago River; the Rouse Simmons, a wooden schooner loaded with Christmas trees; the train ferry Milwaukee and the Wisconsin, a package freighter, gone within one week of each other in October 1929; and the passenger vessel the Lady Elgin, a devastating loss met with incredible heroism. 
 
The stories of these shipwrecks, spanning a full century of commercial traffic on Lake Michigan, document the myriad forms of bravery and misfortune that mark our encounters with the Great Lakes.

My War Criminal - Personal...

Anonyme

An investigation into the nature of violence, terror, and trauma through conversations with a notorious war criminal and hero to white nationalists. 
 
Between October 2014 and November 2016, global terrorism expert Jessica Stern held a series of conversations in a prison cell in The Hague with Radovan Karadzic, a Bosnian Serb former politician who had been indicted for genocide and other war crimes during the Bosnian War and who became an inspiration for white nationalists. Though Stern was used to interviewing terrorists in the field in an effort to understand their hidden motives, the conversations she had with Karadzic would profoundly alter her understanding of the mechanics of fear, the motivations of violence, and the psychology of those who perpetrate mass atrocities at a state level and who—like the terrorists she had previously studied—target noncombatants, in violation of ethical norms and international law. 
How do leaders persuade ordinary people to kill their neighbors? What is the “ecosystem” that creates and nurtures genocidal leaders? Could anything about their personal histories, personalities, or exposure to historical trauma shed light on the formation of a war criminal’s identity in opposition to a targeted Other? 
In My War Criminal, Jessica Stern brings to bear her incisive analysis and her own deeply considered reactions to her interactions with Karadzic, a brilliant and often shockingly charming psychiatrist and poet who spent twelve years in hiding, disguising himself as an energy healer, while also offering a deeply insightful and sometimes chilling account of the complex and even seductive powers of a magnetic leader—and what can happen when you spend many, many hours with that person.

Education of the Heart

Thomas More

In an era of information technology we tend to neglect education in the emotions, the imagination, and civility. Thomas Moore's books on the soul paint a picture of literate, sensitive, and artful human living. In The Education of the Heart he presents many of the sources that influenced and inspired Care of the Soul, Soul Mates, and The Re-Enchantment of Everyday Life, choosing special passages that show us how to cultivate our humanity. But this is not merely a sourcebook or anthology; it's a manual for living from the heart. 
Here we read the great teachers and writers of the past and present, not as representatives of historical periods but as vivid teachers who show us the way towards a richer, more spiritful and soul-filled life. 
As Thomas Moore says, "Listen to these passages, write them down for future reference, tell them to friends, commit them to memory - these are all ways of educating the heart." 
Read by Thomas Moore and cast.
