Synopsis

Chinese Silk explores the profound impact of silk from ancient China on world history. This book reveals how silk, far more than a mere fabric, became a catalyst for economic growth, cultural exchange, and diplomatic engagement. Silk production was a meticulous process, from the cultivation of silkworms to intricate weaving techniques, and it significantly shaped not only Chinese society but also global interactions along the Silk Road.

 
The book particularly emphasizes silk's role as a symbol of status and power, facilitating intercultural exchange and serving as a potent representation of Chinese civilization to the wider world. The book's approach integrates archaeological findings, historical texts, and artistic depictions to provide a comprehensive understanding of silk’s significance. Beginning with the origins of sericulture, it progresses through the technical aspects of production, the economic impact of trade, and finally, the cultural and diplomatic importance of silk.

 
The Silk Road section examines how silk fostered trade and the transmission of ideas between China and the West. By connecting economics, anthropology, and art history, Chinese Silk offers a nuanced perspective valuable to students, scholars, and general readers interested in Chinese and world history.

    Does it ever feel like there's a hypercritical, negative voice inside your head, telling you that you aren't good enough, pretty enough, smart enough, or worthy of success or love? Negative self-talk is all too common, especially for women. This inner critic originally served an important evolutionary purpose—to ensure survival. The problem is, this voice can be difficult to "switch off," leading to anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. So, how can you move past negative self-talk and start living with confidence? 
     
     
     
    Written by a psychologist and expert in negative thinking, this book shines a light on where your hypercritical inner voice comes from—a deeply rooted survival mechanism in the brain called the default mode network (DMN). Using powerful skills drawn from neuroscience, you'll learn how to flip the switch on your unkind mind, so you can move past self-critical thoughts, increase self-compassion, and decrease feelings of shame, guilt, regret, and inadequacy. 
     
     
      
    Once you understand where your inner critic comes from, you'll feel more empowered to tune it out, focus on your true inner voice instead, and get back to living your life with all the courage and confidence needed to thrive. This book will help guide you, step by step.
