  It's not just what you say, but how you say it. Good communicators know this, but it's often easier said than done. Teachers, leaders, and speakers are often left bewildered, wondering why the content that was so carefully planned and delivered seems to fall flat with the audience. The art of communication requires more than the transfer of information; it both connects with and engages the hearer. To communicate well, speakers must understand both their audience and themselves. 
   
   
   
  Speaking by the Numbers offers a strategy that combines communication principles with Enneagram wisdom to help leaders, pastors, and teachers understand how to convey content in ways that both inspire and connect with their audiences. Using the Enneagram wisdom of triads and stances, communicators can learn insight into the ways that various Enneagram numbers receive and process information. Sean Palmer draws from his extensive experience as a public speaker to develop communication strategies that lead to connection, transformation, and mobilization of audiences. Providing real examples of speeches he has given, Palmer shows how he uses the Enneagram to craft a message that connects with his audience. 
   
   
   
  A healthy marriage of Enneagram wisdom and communication skill can help us speak with clarity into the heart of where people live, love, and experience life.

  7 Signs You Might Be Scared of...

  Intimacy is a fundamental part of human relationships, yet for many, it can feel overwhelming, even terrifying. While the desire for deep emotional connection exists, fear often creates barriers that prevent meaningful bonds from forming. This fear of intimacy can manifest in various ways—some obvious, others more subtle—causing individuals to push people away, sabotage relationships, or struggle with vulnerability. Understanding these signs is the first step toward breaking free from the patterns that keep love and closeness at a distance.  
    
  Many people who fear intimacy are unaware of their struggle, believing their actions stem from a need for independence or personal space. While autonomy is essential, there is a significant difference between healthy boundaries and emotional avoidance. For those who experience anxiety around deep emotional or physical closeness, relationships can become a source of stress rather than comfort. The walls built to protect against hurt and rejection can also prevent the fulfillment that comes with genuine connection.  
    
  Fear of intimacy is not an isolated issue—it is often rooted in past experiences. Childhood attachment patterns, past heartbreaks, or even societal influences can shape one’s ability to trust and connect with others. If a person grew up in an environment where emotional needs were ignored or dismissed, they may learn to suppress their own feelings to avoid pain. Likewise, repeated experiences of betrayal or disappointment in relationships can reinforce the belief that intimacy leads to hurt, causing a person to unconsciously avoid closeness.

  Piracy and the Making of the...

  Piracy and the Making of the Spanish Pacific World offers a new interpretation of Spanish colonial rule in the Philippine islands. Drawing on the rich archives of Spain's Asian empire, Kristie Patricia Flannery reveals that Spanish colonial officials and Catholic missionaries forged alliances with Indigenous Filipinos and Chinese migrant settlers in the Southeast Asian archipelago to wage war against waves of pirates, and even the British fleet that attacked at the height of the Seven Years' War. 
   
   
   
  This revisionist study complicates the assumption that empire was imposed on Filipinos with brute force alone. Rather, anti-piracy also shaped the politics of belonging in the colonial Philippines. Real and imagined pirate threats especially influenced the fate and fortunes of Chinese migrants in the islands. They triggered genocidal massacres of the Chinese at some junctures, and at others facilitated Chinese integration into the Catholic nation as loyal vassals. 
   
   
   
  Piracy and the Making of the Spanish Pacific World demonstrates that piracy is key to explaining the surprising longevity of Spain's Asian empire, which survived the Age of Revolutions and endured almost to the end of the nineteenth century. It offers important new insight into piracy's impact on the trajectory of globalization and European imperial expansion in maritime Asia.

  Social justice has always remained a preoccupation and concern, and even a passion, in the very mental make-up of the Tamil people. The history of Tamil down the ages shows that the socially oppressed and their rights to religious observances have always been upheld. The Tamils were therefore particularly impressed by the principles of Karl Marx. While upholding economic justice, the Tamils also asserted social justice. The emphasis of social justice shifted from a demand for religious rights to a demand for the right to education and social equality. At the same time the European Rationality also influenced the Tamil stock. So it was like a confluence of new sentiments, ideas, rationality and agnosticism that led to institutionalized ideological movements during the 19th and 20th centuries that characterized the tenor of the Tamil thought stream, politics, religion, social structure, empowerment and a revaluation of the traditional. Such institutionalization was best realized by the Dravidian Movement led by EV Ramasamy Naicker, reverently called Periyar. Periyar lived a long life and through and through he had been vociferous and influential. His writings and speeches run to thousands of pages. A few selected speeches and articles, which however are too little to represent the multifarious issues that Periyar addressed, have been presented in this audio book. The selection eliminates a couple of issues because certain causes that made Periyar address those issues no more exist in the Tamil society of the 20th and 21st centuries. The selected speeches and articles are from his corpus on the following issues. 
  1.       திராவிடநாடு 2. கலைகள் 3. பொருளாதாரம் 4. சமுதாயம் 5. தத்துவம் 6. கிராம சீர்திருத்தம் 7. கல்வி 8. பகுத்தறிவு 9. தேசியம், இயக்கங்கள்
