  Ever tried reading Kant and felt your brain melt into a puddle of transcendental confusion? You're not alone! "Kant You Not" is the hilarious antidote to philosophical pretension that explains Immanuel Kant's revolutionary ideas without inducing narcolepsy. 
  In this irreverent guide to history's most unnecessarily complicated philosopher, author Sophia Blackwell translates Kantian gibberish into actual human language while mercilessly mocking his impenetrable prose, bizarre personal habits, and occasionally absurd conclusions. 
  You'll discover: 
  Why a man who never left his hometown somehow revolutionized Western philosophy 
  How Kant needed 800 pages to say "we can't know things as they really are" 
  Why he thought lying to axe murderers was morally wrong (seriously) 
  How to fake Kantian knowledge at dinner parties without reading the originals 
  Why we're still talking about this guy 200+ years later (Stockholm syndrome) 
  Perfect for philosophy students suffering through assigned readings, professors who secretly hate teaching Kant, or anyone who enjoys watching brilliant ideas get roasted. "Kant You Not" proves that philosophy can be educational AND entertaining—a concept that would probably make Kant himself deeply uncomfortable. 
  Buy now and transform your philosophical confusion into laughter! No prior knowledge required—just a willingness to question everything, especially sentences that run for more than half a page. 
  Part of the bestselling "Cogito Ergo Nope!" series that makes philosophy accessible without being condescending and funny without sacrificing accuracy.

  Not even old enough to drink, Corporal Savannah Cannon is a young enlisted United States Marine deployed to support Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan in 2010. As a tactical data networking specialist, she is sent away from everyone she knows and attached to a Regimental Combat Team where women are not allowed to repair communications. Her experiences over the next few months shed light on the unique and difficult positions women are placed in when supporting combat roles, while offering a raw look at the painful choices women must sometimes make. 
   
   
   
  Cannon finds herself in a combat zone, ostracized from family, friends, and even her fellow Marines as the men are told to avoid her. The connections she makes are born from trauma and desperation and the choices she makes will echo throughout many lives. 
   
   
   
  Corporal Cannon is not the story of a heroine; it is the hard-hitting account of just one of the flawed individuals who make up the United States' fighting forces. Mistakes in the battlefield can have dire consequences, personally and professionally. Reflecting on her time in service, the author weaves a story of past and present, and the healing that can come with admitting our mistakes and moving past them.

  When it comes to taking action, making good decisions, and cultivating inner peace, there's a unique factor in life that only you can give to yourself. 
   It's called " solitude." 
   For many people, the idea of being alone triggers fear and discomfort, even for short periods of time. But in this book, we'll explore the mental layers of the human psyche in a simple and practical way, and challenge the notion that loneliness is something to be feared. 
   Inside this book, you'll find a wealth of psychological concepts explained in a straightforward and accessible manner, all focused on the power of solitude and what it means to be alone. We'll provide examples and tips that are easy to incorporate into your daily life, helping you chart a clear course towards achieving your goals. 
   You'll learn how to not only enjoy your moments in solitude, but also how to value them and make the most of every minute. These moments will become the foundation of your character and thoughts, bringing you a sense of calm even during life's most challenging moments. 
   The path of life is different for everyone, and each person is the architect of their own destiny. 
   However, consider this 
   The difference between a person who earns $1 million and another who earns $100 may be just a few hours spent in solitude. The difference between those who achieve their dreams and those who don't may be how they spend their alone time. Even those who have lost everything in life can completely transform their circumstances through productive solitude. 
   So ask yourself, would you pay more attention to the moments you spend alone if you knew they could be the key to unlocking success in all aspects of your life? 
   To truly enjoy and excel in any area of life, we must learn to make the most of our solitary moments and above all understand one of the most important principles in life "The power of being alone"
