Summary

The Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium, also known as the Moral Epistles, is a collection of 124 letters which were written by Seneca the Younger at the end of his life, during his retirement, and written after he had worked for the Emperor Nero for fifteen years. They are addressed to Lucilius, the then procurator of Sicily, although he is known only through Seneca's writings. Although these letters deal with Seneca's eclectic form of Stoic philosophy, they also give us valuable insights into daily life in ancient Rome.

    The 7 Wonders of Me: A Journey from Trauma to Healing 
    At age 13, Darnell Davis stood in a courtroom as the key witness in a murder trial that sent his father to prison for life—a moment that shattered his childhood and marked the beginning of a long battle with pain, anger, and self-doubt. The Seven Wonders of Me is Darnell’s deeply personal memoir of navigating the darkness, confronting his deepest wounds, and finding healing against all odds. 
    This book offers readers more than just a story of survival; it is a roadmap to inner peace and personal growth.

Each chapter is filled with raw reflections, spiritual insights, and practical tools that Darnell used to reclaim his life and embrace his own light. 
    In The 7 Wonders of Me, readers will find not only a story of triumph over trauma but also actionable steps for their own healing journey. Whether you are facing your own darkness or simply seeking a deeper connection with yourself, this book serves as a powerful reminder that the path to healing starts from within.

    American Presidents in Diplomacy and War chronicles the major foreign policy crises faced by twelve American presidents in order to uncover the reoccurring patterns of successful and less successful uses of diplomatic, economic, and military power. In this book, Thomas R. Parker reveals how America's most successful leaders manage events instead of allowing events to control them. 
     
     
     
    Parker explores how the U.S. presidency, from the days of the early Republic to the present, shaped the world. Ranging from George Washington to George H. W. Bush, Parker shows how successful statecraft requires the understanding of complex situations, the prudent evaluation of various courses of action, the ability to adapt and to anticipate, and personal determination. Parker compares each of these leaders to their contemporaries—reasonable political leaders who nonetheless made serious mistakes, such as Thomas Jefferson and Barack Obama—to examine the dangers of being unable to strike the right balance of aggressiveness and caution and to examine the costs of inexperience and ambivalence toward military power. The book concludes by discussing the increasingly complex international situation of today, particularly the manifold challenges posed by China and Russia to U.S. foreign policy, and the continued necessity of effective statecraft.

    Do you feel disconnected? Lonely? Sick and tired of being sick and tired? Long before COVID-19 emerged, researchers were reporting that united states citizens were having less sex. Some even going so far as to call it a “sex apocalypse”. Throughout this book, Dr. bird explores not only how and why this phenomenon occurred, but also unboxes foundationally regifted social, relational, and technological u.s. misinformation(s) and disinformation(s), which have devolved into our digital and increasingly algorithmic envirusment. To do so, first, they argue that our dominant ideas of intelligence have always been limited. Then, they connect those logics to escalating environmental crises. Third, Dr. bird reveals how our major ideas of relational intelligence have been tainted by these widely accepted human misconceptions. And, not only that, but that this mentality has been copy and pasted across nearly everything that we do and love. In doing so, Dr. bird makes clear how the envirusment era presents us abundant opportunities to understand how, in numerous violent taken for granted ways, an idea that the “body is a machine” has infected our lifestyles, sickening, disabling, and poisoning us all to death for profit. Yet, in new viral forms, instead of liberatory solutions, the richest continue to invest in more inhumane artificial intelligence. Instead, Dr. bird insists current problems cannot be solved without transformational human solutions, reminding us that we all hold and can embrace our authenticity, reflecting on our life’s knowledge, to fix this shit.

    In this captivating memoir, Stanley unflinchingly shares his tumultuous experience as an international graduate student in the American Midwest. His narrative weaved through a labyrinth of unexpected trials, crises, and cultural clashes as he grappled with the perplexing healthcare system, the haunting justice system, the intimidating immigration maze, and the bureaucratic intricacies of academia. 
    Through his triangular interactions with two “elite” students, he not only rectified his understanding of mainstream American culture but also delved into the depths of human relationships. The multi-layered emotional turmoil Stanley endured as he confronted the “devil” within and outside, mixed with the benevolence and insights he received from peers and fellows, resulted in his transcendence of the original “American dream.” 
    Along this journey, Stanley invites readers to reflect on universal themes of identity, resilience, mental health, and spiritual growth. 
    Fantastic and uncompromising expression of what it means to be an immigrant to the US today. Essential reading for anyone considering immigrating or who has already immigrated and finding it unexpectedly difficult to assimilate into US culture. As a third culture kid and hidden immigrant, I wish I’d had this book decades ago. Its insights would have saved me years of heartbreak, loss and sorrow. — Andrew Indahl, civil rights attorney, UCLA graduate 
    In a land where the coffee is strong and the health insurance is weak, the author navigates friendships like a tightrope walker — balancing between cultural faux pas and the fear of being misunderstood. Love was a puzzle with missing pieces, and every legal form felt like an existential riddle. Yet, through each cringing trial, he discovers that the quirks of human behavior are the threads that weave us all together, regardless of the results. — Alfred Olivas, STEAM Education Consultant, former expat in Asia
