Summary

Germany is a nation of contradictions. It is a land of poets and thinkers, yet it is also a land of soldiers and conquerors. It is a land of great beauty, yet it is also a land of great darkness.

This book is an exploration of Germany, its people, and its place in the world. We will travel through time, from the early days of the Germanic tribes to the modern era of the European Union. We will examine Germany's political, economic, and cultural achievements, as well as its failures and challenges.

We will also take a close look at the German people. What are their values? What are their hopes and dreams? What are their fears and anxieties? By understanding the German people, we can better understand Germany itself.

This book is not just a history book or a travelogue. It is also a meditation on the nature of identity. What does it mean to be German? How has German identity changed over time? And how does Germany's identity compare to that of other nations?

These are some of the questions that we will explore in this book. We hope that by the end of our journey, you will have a deeper understanding of Germany, its people, and its place in the world.

This book is perfect for anyone who wants to learn more about Germany, its history, culture, and people. It is also a valuable resource for students, scholars, and anyone else who is interested in European history and politics.

    How sustained disruptions to children's safety have physical, behavioral, and mental health impact that follow them into adulthood. 
 
 
 
At its heart, polyvagal theory describes how the brain's unconscious sense of safety or danger impacts our emotions and behaviors. In this powerful book, pediatrician and neonatologist Marilyn R. Sanders and child psychiatrist George S. Thompson offer listeners both a meditation on caregiving and a call to action for physicians, educators, and mental health providers. When children don't have safe relationships, or emotional, medical, or physical traumas punctuate their lives, their ability to love, trust, and thrive is damaged. Children who have multiple relationship disruptions may have physical, behavioral, or mental health concerns that follow them into adulthood. 
 
 
 
By attending to the lessons of polyvagal theory—that adult caregivers must be aware of children's unconscious processing of sensory information—the authors show how professionals can play a critical role in establishing a sense of safety even in the face of dangerous, and sometimes incomprehensibly scary, situations.

    The term "mind control" is often used in various contexts, but it broadly refers to different methods of influencing or taking control of the mind. The critical question is: whose mind is being controlled? 
  
There are several methods of mind control, each stemming from different disciplines. Techniques for controlling others' minds are distinct from those used to influence one's own mind, which is why various types of mind control exist. 
  
For those looking to change and influence the thoughts of others, learning hypnosis and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is essential. While NLP primarily focuses on personal development, it provides insight into the personality traits of those you wish to influence. 
  
For example, a common NLP technique involves covert or conversational hypnosis, where an individual subtly implants thoughts while engaging in seemingly normal conversation. Over time, the recipient may believe these ideas originated from their own thoughts, even though they were subtly guided by the influencer.

    Truly radical "Machiavellianism", in the popular sense of that word, is classically expressed in Indian literature in the Arthashastra of Kautilya (written long before the birth of Christ, ostensibly in the time of Chandragupta): compared to it, Machiavelli's The Prince is harmless.— Max Weber, Politics as a Vocation (1919)Chanakya's treatise, written while turning a farmhand into the emperor of the largest empire India had ever seen, focuses on how to manage an empire, covering everything from domestic policy and personal rights to assassination and the dirtier arts of politics. This is not, as with Plato’s Republic, a work of theory. Chanakya’s guidance is entirely practical, and is based on both his education and his experience building an empire. It lacks the philosophical ponderings and moralizing of its equivalent Western works (such as The Prince, The Republic or Leviathan) and instead focuses on how one deals with the messiness of the world in practice.People will occasionally refer to Chanakya as an Indian Machiavelli, but this does some discredit to Chanakya. The Prince is a satire, and focused around exposing the tactics and inhumanity of Cesare Borgia. Arthashastra is a manual for every aspect of statecraft, and while it deals in the unethical it does so only because that is, after all is said and done, one of the options available to a ruler.If you're after a totally pragmatic analysis of leadership, stripped of moralising and focused on what works and how to deal with real-world issues, this is the book for you.
