  In this 2024 conversation with Justine Willis Toms, Dr. Orloff suggests that empathy is a bedrock of healing in difficult situations and needs to be a daily priority and become a habit, not just a fleeting desire. She also has cautions and advice for us: can we have too much empathy? How to work with those who, on the empathy spectrum, have an empathy deficient disorder such as narcissists? Empathy, she says, will lead us in expressing our most authentic, fierce, and compassionate self, and that we must have empathy for our survival personally, our happiness, our intimacy, our connections to others, and also for the earth and the world. She points out that studies have shown that acts of empathy can have positive effects on our immune response.  
  Judith Orloff, M.D. is a member of the UCLA Psychiatric Clinical Staff and specializes in treating empaths and sensitive people in her private practice. She offers Empathy Training Programs to businesses and organizations and teaches empathic tools to doctors, corporate teams, leaders, managers, customer service and trainers, as well as individuals. She has been called the “godmother of the empath movement." She is the author of:The Ecstasy of Surrender: 12 Surprising Ways Letting Go Can Empower Your Life (Harmony books 2014)Emotional Freedom: Liberate Yourself from Negative Emotions and Transform Your Life (Harmony Books 2009)The Empath's Survival Guide: Life Strategies for Sensitive People (Sounds True 2017)The Genius of Empathy: Practical Skills to Heal Your Sensitive Self, Your Relationships & the World (Sounds True 2024)

  The Law

  Frédéric Bastiat

  What is the true purpose of law? In The Law, 19th-century French economist and statesman Frédéric Bastiat delivers a timeless and powerful defense of individual liberty, private property, and limited government. 
  Written in 1850 during a period of political upheaval in France, this concise yet profound work argues that the legitimate function of law is simple: to protect life, liberty, and property — not to redistribute wealth, engineer society, or impose morality. Bastiat warns against what he calls “legal plunder,” where the law is used to take from some and give to others, distorting justice and undermining freedom. 
  Clear, logical, and remarkably relevant today, The Law remains one of the most influential works in classical liberal thought. Whether you are new to political philosophy or a longtime student of liberty, this audiobook offers sharp insight into the principles of justice, government power, and individual rights. 
  Timeless. Provocative. Essential listening.

  Sentience - The Invention of...

  • 0

  The story of a quest to uncover the evolutionary history of consciousness from one of the world's leading theoretical psychologists. 
   
   
   
  We feel, therefore we are. Conscious sensations ground our sense of self. They are crucial to our idea of ourselves as psychic beings: present, existent, and mattering. But is it only humans who feel this way? Do other animals? Will future machines? Weaving together intellectual adventure and cutting-edge science, Nicholas Humphrey describes in Sentience his quest for answers: from his discovery of blindsight in monkeys and his pioneering work on social intelligence to breakthroughs in the philosophy of mind. 
   
   
   
  The goal is to solve the hard problem: to explain the wondrous, eerie fact of "phenomenal consciousness"—the redness of a poppy, the sweetness of honey, the pain of a bee sting. What does this magical dimension of experience amount to? What is it for? And why has it evolved? Humphrey presents here his new solution. He proposes that phenomenal consciousness, far from being primitive, is a relatively late and sophisticated evolutionary development. The implications for the existence of sentience in nonhuman animals are startling and provocative.

  Roman Empire The: The History...

  Editors Charles River

  Possibly the most important man of antiquity, and even all of history, was Julius Caesar. Alexander Hamilton, the famous American patriot, once remarked that “the greatest man who ever lived was Julius Caesar”. Such a tribute, coming from one of the Founding Fathers of the quintessential modern democracy in reference to a man who destroyed the Roman Republic, is testament to the enduring mark that Caesar left upon the world. The ultimate conqueror, statesman, dictator, visionary, and opportunist, during his time in power Caesar expanded the borders of Rome to almost twice their previous size, revolutionized the infrastructure of the Roman state, and destroyed the Roman Republic for good, leaving a line of emperors in its place. His legacy is so strong that his name has become, in many languages, synonymous with power: the Emperors of Austria and Germany bore the title Kaiser, and the Czars of Russia also owe the etymology of their title to Caesar. His name also crept further eastward out of Europe, even cropping up in Hindi and Urdu, where the term for “Emperor” is Kaisar. 
  Even in his time, Caesar was in many ways larger than life, and because of his legacy as virtual founder of the Roman Empire, much of what was written about – and by – him during his life and immediately after his assassination was politically motivated. His successor, Octavian Augustus, had a strong interest in ensuring that Caesar’s life be painted in a favorable light, while Caesar’s political enemies attempted to paint him as a corrupt, undemocratic dictator who was destroying the old order of the Republic.  
  As Roman leaders vied with each other for power and constantly fought civil wars, Rome’s famous roads fall into disrepair, the economy was crippled, the continent-wide trade system that had flourished in the previous years was replaced with a basic barter system, and there was a reduction in international trade.
