Edward Snowden’s Permanent Record is a testimony of a man for whom privacy is paramount, but who knows that exposing himself is necessary for the world to understand the importance of the information he revealed about the U.S. government. Snowden takes us through his life and decision to reveal the National Security Agency’s mass surveillance of American citizens and the tools the NSA used to collect every text, e-mail, phone call, and digital action made by citizens. It is the account of a young man who grew up online and saw the internet change from a land of freedom to a tool used by a sprawling, oppressive machine. It is a memoir for the modern age, and a must-read for those who care about their own privacy.

Law of Attraction - Universal...

Jenny Hashkins

This is a 4-book bundle with the following books:
Book 1: The energy from the universe emanates through space and helps us send out vibrations, only to receive back what is in our inner desires. I know that sounds like a complicated sentence, but that basically sums up the law of attraction. To understand this more fully, we have to understand those concepts separately: Vibrations, energy, mindfulness to receive the things we want. All those things are related to each other.
Book 2: When it comes to the law of attraction, it’s important to recognize that our minds and bodies are connected. Our thoughts determine our actions, which determine our results in life. Different things to manifest need different attitudes and actions.
Book 3: Chakras play an important part in manifesting your dreams. If your chakras are blocked or somehow stagnated, it may be hard to follow your heart and achieve the results you want. In this guide, therefore, we teach you how to unblock chakras that might have become problematic to you. Manifesting should be done from the heart, and we’re going to help you discover how that works.
Book 4: How can you become better at manifesting wealth and health into your life?
Sure, you can save up, work hard, and eat better sustenance. But there is also a mental aspect some people underestimate, and that’s the limitations we have in our imagination. In order to change those, we can use techniques such as journaling, affirmations, and psychological tricks to turn our lives into a bigger success.
We will discuss, for example, the 12 things that people don’t do who are mentally strong. We will also touch on how to get back up after failure, or how to become more resilient to problems and challenges in life.

Sociopath - The Dark Psychology...

Victor Higgins

This book consists of two titles, which are the following:
Book 1: Are there sociopaths in your life? You bet! You may not recognize them, or they may not be serial killers. Perhaps they are not causing any trouble at all. But to know what to look for, is pretty important, if you ask me. It’s interesting that some people just don’t have that much of a conscience. And every person chooses how to deal with that differently. It can reflect on their actions in different ways.
Moreover, sociopaths typically abuse the conscience of others by manipulating them with guilt-trips, blackmail, and other secret techniques. Psychopaths are similar, but they are not the same. We will discuss that too. Other topics in this book include why many male sociopaths objectify women, the motivations of a sociopath, and the three steps for identifying one.
Book 2: Are narcissists sociopaths?
And if they are different, then can someone be both?
These and many other questions will be answered in this guide. You will learn, on top of that, how parents can struggle with sociopathic kids and how you can do better. You will also learn about the American culture and why sociopaths are generally liked by the masses (trust me, it’s true… I’ve seen it over and over again: Fake wins over the truth in a culture driven by emotion, drama, and glamour. Last but not least, you will acquire more knowledge about the fundamental differences and overlaps between narcissists and sociopaths, so you don’t have to be like so many other people who toss those terms around like a wet diaper.
