  This is a bundle of 3 titles, which cover the following topics: 
  Title 1: Learning to understand ourselves, the dark and the light, the kind and the cruel, that exists within each one of us, has been a driving factor in psychological studies. 
  Machiavellianism in psychology refers to a personality trait which sees a person so focused on their own interests they will manipulate, deceive, and exploit others to achieve their goals. This audiobook will dive deeper into this topic along with related factors, such as how they control and manipulate others and the consequences that come with it. This audiobook will shed some light on how to spot a manipulator and how to outwit one. Listen about various blackmail tactics and how to spot and avoid some of the most common scams on the internet. 
  Title 2: Since our various vehicles were created, from the train, to the car, to the plane, to the sub, to the rocket, our world has gotten so much smaller, now, space is the last great frontier. There is another unknown great frontier, one that we are only beginning to discover, the human mind, especially the subconscious. Our emotions, our thoughts, that gut instinct telling you something isn’t right. It’s all linked to the subconscious. 
  Our subconscious is a very powerful thing, and just like every other powerful thing in the world, it’s dangerous. In fact, our own subconscious is more dangerous to us than it is to others. 
  Title 3: Abuse. It’s wrong, it’s terrible no matter what form it takes. When most of you hear the word abuse you think of one of the physical kinds of abuse. For others, they think of a different kind of abuse, verbal, emotional, psychological, and mental; there are others, but this book focuses on verbal abuse.

  The Social Fabric of Cities -...

  Cities are more than just a collection of buildings, streets, and infrastructure; they are living, breathing entities defined by the intricate web of human connections that form their foundation. The social fabric of a city—the dynamic interplay of relationships, cultures, and shared experiences—plays a crucial role in shaping not only the identity of urban areas but also the lives of the individuals who inhabit them. Understanding this essence of urban life requires delving into the complexities of community and identity, two pillars that anchor the urban experience. 
  Urban life is characterized by a unique blend of diversity and interconnectedness. In cities, people from various backgrounds come together, bringing with them distinct cultures, traditions, and perspectives. This convergence fosters opportunities for collaboration, creativity, and innovation, but it also presents challenges in the form of tensions, misunderstandings, and inequities. Despite these challenges, cities often serve as melting pots where differences are not just tolerated but celebrated, giving rise to vibrant communities that redefine what it means to coexist. 
  The identity of a city emerges not only from its physical attributes—its skyline, landmarks, and neighborhoods—but also from the shared narratives of its residents. These narratives are shaped by the history, struggles, and triumphs of the community. From the bustling marketplaces that echo with the hum of daily life to the quiet parks that offer respite amidst the chaos, every corner of a city tells a story. These stories intertwine, creating a collective identity that is both fluid and enduring.
