    We all experience intense emotions like anger at times. Not only is anger normal, but it can serve as a great motivator and a way to improve one’s emotional intelligence. It can encourage self-improvement, instill a sense of self-control, and even trigger our “fight” response which is necessary for survival. At the most basic level, anger can help children determine whether they’re being treated fairly and allows them to tell when things aren’t right. That being said, anger can become a severe problem if it grows out of control and leads to aggressive behaviors. 
    An angry child isn’t a bad one, nor are their attitudes and actions necessarily a result of behavioral problems. These intense emotions are often triggered by psychological, social, or even hormonal problems, which is why parents should try to understand where their children’s anger comes from to handle the situation effectively. In most cases, the root problem is not apparent, which is why parents automatically assume that their children are misbehaving, so they take action accordingly. Grounding or yelling at a child who can’t control their anger isn’t going to fix anything and will likely make things worse.

    IJourney through the dramatic evolution of Japan's feudal era in this comprehensive volume that chronicles three pivotal periods of Japanese history. From the cultural renaissance of the Muromachi Period to the chaotic warfare of the Sengoku Period, and finally to the enduring peace of the Tokugawa Shogunate, this meticulously researched work brings to life the warriors, lords, and cultural icons who shaped Japan's destiny. 
    The Muromachi Period (1336-1573) explores the rise of the Ashikaga shogunate and the unique blend of warrior culture with artistic achievement. Witness the flowering of Noh theater, ink painting, and the refined aesthetics of the "higashiyama culture" even as political power fragmented among regional warlords and Buddhist monasteries wielded military might. 
    The Sengoku Period (1467-1615) thrusts readers into Japan's turbulent "Age of Warring States," where legendary daimyo like Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu fought for supremacy. Experience the battlefield innovations, castle-building, and strategic alliances that transformed Japan's military landscape, while Portuguese firearms and Christian missionaries added new dimensions to the struggle. 
    The Tokugawa Shogunate (1603-1868) reveals how the Tokugawa clan established Japan's longest-lasting feudal government, creating an intricate social hierarchy and isolationist foreign policy that preserved peace for over 250 years. Discover how this period of stability led to the rise of the merchant class, the flourishing of ukiyo-e art, kabuki theater, and the vibrant urban culture of Edo (modern Tokyo). 
    Richly illustrated and accessibly written, this three-in-one volume provides both newcomers and history enthusiasts with a definitive guide to understanding how the interplay of war, culture, and governance shaped Japan's feudal society and continues to influence the nation today.

    Thus Spoke Zaratustra

    "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" is a philosophical novel written by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, first published in 1883. The book is divided into four parts and tells the story of a fictional character named Zarathustra, who is on a journey to share his philosophy with the people. 
    The book is often considered Nietzsche's masterpiece and explores themes such as the death of God, the will to power, and the Übermensch (or superman). Through Zarathustra's journey, Nietzsche presents his ideas on morality, religion, and the nature of humanity. 
    The character of Zarathustra is inspired by the historical figure of Zarathustra, who founded the ancient Persian religion of Zoroastrianism. However, Nietzsche's Zarathustra is not a religious prophet but a philosopher who seeks to share his wisdom with humanity. 
    The style of "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" is highly poetic and symbolic, often using metaphorical language to express complex philosophical ideas. The book has been highly influential in modern philosophy, literature, and art, and its impact can be seen in the works of many later thinkers, such as Martin Heidegger and Jean-Paul Sartre.

    Dalai Lama (2000) believes that seeking happiness "lies in our nature": The desire or need to be happy knows no bounds. It is something that lies in our nature. As such, it needs no grounds and it is justified by the simple fact that it is something we rightly want out of our nature. One has also asked if happiness is as important in all cultures. The answer is that happiness is at the top of the wish-list in every country; It is more important than wealth and to come to heaven, and as important as love (Diener and Biswas-Diener, 2008)...what makes us richer has been costly. The wealth, or what has been the prerequisite for wealth, has reduced a quieter life, close and stable relationships, we are moving apart. A materialistic lifestyle has a negative connection with happiness (Hellevik, 2003). NEF (2016) has calculated values on Happy Planet Index for 140 countries. Highest ranks Costa Rica and a number of other countries in Latin America. The population of Costa Rica has high values for happiness and longevity, and they have low values of ecological footprints. Norway has very high values of happiness and longevity, but also of footprints. In total, Norway is ranked twelfth and therefore highest among European countries, but closely followed by Albania. The United Kingdom is at thirty-fourth place, Canada number eighty-five and the United States number 108.
