Synopsis

The greatest of all American countries is comparatively the least developed. Brazil, with her 3,300,000 square miles of territory, four thousand miles of coast, and her incomparable system of great waterways, has the largest extent of wild and almost unknown country of any political division of the New World; she, and she alone, owns thousands of square miles of forests where no one has set foot but the native, still really living in the Stone Age, mountain ranges never properly prospected, with their deposits of minerals scarcely scratched, and millions of acres of grassy uplands waiting for the farmer and the stock-raiser.
Brazil is not scantily developed because little has been done; on the contrary, a wonderful amount of development has been accomplished, but the period of expansion has been short and the country so great and varied that whole regions remain out of the track of progress. Until a century ago, when Dom João opened Brazilian ports to international commerce, Brazil lay in a trance, bound hand and foot to Portugal, isolated from the world. Her erection into a separate monarchy found her without capital, without education, for she had neither adequate primary nor technical schools, without a press, and without any knowledge of her own resources except that gathered by the interior raids, wanderings and settlements of her own hardy people.

    I Want to Burn this Place Down -...

    A debut essay collection by the inimitable cultural critic Maris Kreizman—an introspective, searing account of the life experiences that have pushed this former “good Democrat” even further to the political left 
    At the heart of this funny, acerbic, and bravely honest book of essays is Maris Kreizman, a former rule follower and ambition monster who once believed the following truths to be self-evident: that working very hard would lead to admission to a good college, which would lead to a good job at a good company, which would then lead to personal fulfillment and a sense of purpose, along with adequate health care and eventual home ownership and plenty of money waiting in a retirement account. Like any good Democrat and feminist, she believed that if she just worked hard and played by the rules, she was guaranteed a safe and comfortable life. 
    Now in her forties, the only thing Maris Kreizman knows for sure is that she no longer has faith in American institutions or any of their hollow promises. Now she knows that the rules are meant to serve some folks better than others; and, actually, they serve no one all that well—not even Kreizman. Disturbed by the depth and scope of the liberal myths in which she once so fervently believed, Kreizman takes readers on an intimate journey that revisits some of her most profound revelations, demonstrating that it’s never too late to become radicalized. 
    With Kreizman’s signature wit and blunt self-reflection, and more than a little transformative rage, I Want to Burn This Place Down is a book for anyone who wishes they could go back in time to give their younger selves the real truth about the fractured country they have inherited—and the encouragement to rebuild something better in its place.

    Coming to Terms With One’s...

    "Though, to some extent, the psychological and the Buddhist way of looking at the shadow is similar, the Buddhist way of seeing, rather than investigating, is far deeper and more penetrating. For if you wash your dirty linen yourself instead of sending it to the laundry, you yourself discover the stains. But unlike with the washing, there is no need to scrub them, it is just the act of seeing which cleanses them. 
     
    In order to explain the shadow, we must first turn the spotlight onto the discrimination of good and bad which starts off our suffering, followed by craving— the second Noble Truth—which in its turn is brought about by our erroneous I-am-I consciousness. I want!—I don’t want! I want the good!—I don’t want the bad! This is outward-bound but exactly the same applies to our emotions too."

    The Awakened Empath Bundle, 2 in 1 Bundle: Empath's Survival Guide and Empath AbilitiesPeople have common misconceptions about being empathetic and being an empath. To state the obvious, these are two different concepts.  Being empathetic is when our hearts feel for another individual who is going through a period of crisis. Empathy gives us the power to think about, understand, and care about each other. Empath people, however, detect their energy, emotions, and physiological symptoms in them. They are usually more accurate in recognizing emotions just by looking through their body language. They are also more likely to acknowledge emotions prior to others and rate those emotions as being more intense.In this bundle, you will learn how to build and enhance your empathy. It will teach you sensible and time-tested tips you can use to rise above personal biases and become kinder, more forgiving, more accepting, and more loving toward other people. It will also be a guide for empaths.This 2 in 1 bundle includes the following audiobooks:1. Empath's Survival Guide: An Empath's Guide on How to Become Emotionally and Spiritually Healthy to Be the Best Version of Yourself2. Empath Abilities: Learn About the Power of Empathy and How it Can Significantly Enrich Your Life Plus Tips on How to Enhance Your EmpathyIf you want to learn more, download your copy of The Awakened Empath Bundle today!

    For centuries, humanity has looked to the stars with wonder and curiosity, speculating about the existence of life beyond our planet. While astronomers and scientists seek concrete evidence of extraterrestrial life, a different kind of proof has captured the public's imagination: alien abduction accounts. These extraordinary stories, often dismissed as fantasy or delusion, have sparked debates that straddle the line between science, psychology, and the unexplained. 
      
    Alien abduction accounts are far more than just eerie anecdotes. They tap into deep cultural and existential questions: Are we alone in the universe? What is the nature of human consciousness? And perhaps most intriguingly, how much of the unknown are we truly capable of understanding? From detailed descriptions of spacecraft and strange beings to recurring themes of medical examinations and missing time, these stories share uncanny similarities, even when reported by individuals with no connection to one another. 
      
    Yet, the credibility of these accounts remains fiercely debated. Skeptics point to psychological phenomena, such as sleep paralysis, hallucinations, or false memory creation, as plausible explanations. Believers, however, argue that the physical evidence, witness corroborations, and profound emotional impact on abductees cannot be so easily dismissed.
