  University - A Reckoning

  The American university―one of the most successful institutions in human history―is facing an unprecedented assault from the president of the US. Experts on authoritarianism have drawn comparisons to other countries where strongmen subdued universities as part of their power grabs. Yet as former Columbia president Lee C. Bollinger points out in his account of the university's significance, in such dire times one has no choice but to state clearly and forcefully what one stands for. 
   
  Bollinger reveals how the structure of the university contributes to the success of the American system―because it provides those who study and work within it a degree of creative freedom hard to find elsewhere―and why that structure is both impossible to recreate and vulnerable to outside attack. The fundamental mission of the university is to enhance knowledge, but this is not merely a high-minded idea. It is, as Bollinger demonstrates, a notion rooted deeply in the Constitution, specifically the First Amendment, the basis of our political and social life. The university helps realize the First Amendment; the First Amendment helps make the university. Bollinger argues that, with the press diminished, the university remains the only source of truth-seeking for those who still believe in democracy. The university must be defended if the American experiment is to continue.

  It's time to move beyond the self-destructive coping "skills" that hold you back! 
   
   
   
  The coping styles we develop in childhood are often the result of stressful or traumatic experiences. And while they once worked to keep us feeling safe, they do not serve us well in adulthood. This guide offers an innovative and evidence-based approach grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy, schema therapy, and attachment theory to help you break free from the coping habits that keep you stuck in a cycle of self-sabotaging negative thoughts and behaviors. 
   
   
   
  In this book, you'll identify the maladaptive coping patterns you developed in childhood, understand why you developed them, and learn how to change those destructive habits standing between you and a happier life. You'll also discover powerful strategies to help you give voice to your unmet needs; and learn to cultivate clarity, security, and confidence in yourself and what you need. 
   
   
   
  Dysfunctional coping styles are often the relics of damaging childhood experiences. With this guide, you can finally get unstuck from the habits that hinder your personal growth, get in the way of healthy relationships, and keep you from reaching your highest potential.

  From Ritual to Romance

  In the introductory Chapter the reader will find the aim and object of these studies set forth at length. In view of the importance and complexity of the problems involved it seemed better to incorporate such a statement in the book itself, rather than relegate it to a Preface which all might not trouble to read. Yet I feel that such a general statement does not adequately express my full debt of obligation. Among the many whose labour has been laid under contribution in the following pages there are certain scholars whose published work, or personal advice, has been specially illuminating, and to whom specific acknowledgment is therefore due. Like many others I owe to Sir J. G. Frazer the initial inspiration which set me, as I may truly say, on the road to the Grail Castle. Without the guidance of The Golden Bough I should probably, as the late M. Gaston Paris happily expressed it, still be wandering in the forest of Broceliande!

  Charity - The Heat of Generosity...

  Charity is more than just an act of giving; it is a profound expression of humanity’s compassion and interconnectedness. It goes beyond financial donations and extends to time, effort, and kindness. True charity is rooted in the desire to uplift others without expecting anything in return. It is an act of selflessness that fosters unity, strengthens communities, and creates a ripple effect of goodness in society. 
  Throughout history, generosity has been a defining trait of civilizations. Ancient cultures placed great emphasis on the duty to help the less fortunate, often tying charitable deeds to religious and moral obligations. From the communal support systems of indigenous tribes to the organized relief efforts of modern philanthropic institutions, the essence of charity has remained the same—helping those in need and making the world a better place. Whether through structured organizations or spontaneous acts of kindness, the spirit of giving has shaped societies and continues to do so today. 
  The impact of charity is not limited to the recipients alone. Studies have shown that giving has profound psychological and emotional benefits for the giver. The act of helping others releases endorphins, creating a sense of fulfillment and happiness. It also fosters a greater sense of purpose, reinforcing the idea that individuals have the power to make a difference, no matter how big or small their contributions may be. Many people who engage in charitable acts find themselves experiencing a deeper connection to their community, leading to a greater sense of belonging and overall well-being.

  Through poems and vignettes written over a period of 15 years, the reader will enter a world of denial, confusion, shame, fear, humor, sacrifice, patience and love - finding solace and empathy with an experience many of us go through, yet struggle to find words to describe.
