  Make no mistake, education in America is undeniably broken and careering off the tracks. This viewpoint is shared from the perspective of a father who had children navigating the education system, a husband with a wife actively contributing to the education system, and an entrepreneur who developed and sold educational resources to public schools around the country. These unique vantage points have provided an invaluable insight into the inner workings of the American education system. 
  This book aims to offer an intimate glimpse behind the curtains, shedding light on the multitude of factors, policy decisions, and political entanglements that have contributed to the current state of our public education system. It serves as a wake-up call, revealing a myriad of issues that the majority of parents are blissfully unaware of, issues that are quietly eroding the foundations of our children's education. In addition to the author's personal experiences, we conducted interviews with 69 former teachers and administrators to gain a comprehensive understanding of how education has evolved over the years, and unfortunately, the findings indicate a negative trend. If parents were aware of these disconcerting revelations, it is safe to assume that they would have legitimate concerns. 
  The purpose of this book is to reveal the true extent of the challenges that plague our education system in America, in the hopes of igniting a collective desire to take action and secure a brighter future for education in our nation.

  We all want the power and motivation to create change in our lives. But how to get that in a stumbling dance of one step forward and two steps back? Negative emotions run rampant in many people’s lives today; a reality that feels like a shrink wrap of suffering. Popular fallback “solutions” of performance-based goals and tools focus on extrinsic rewards like fame, wealth, or winning. But overuse of those rewards doesn’t work for the long term and in fact weakens our confidence and motivation over time, leaving us vulnerable to failure and shame.It doesn’t have to be that way. Through three decades of researching and tracking such universal struggles to change our behavior, Dr. Kyra Bobinet unveils the way out, using novel neuroscience research on a compelling new brain area, the habenula. In this book, she reveals the habenula’s powerful role in killing our motivation and causing anxiety and depression and offers a foolproof way to escape its clutches.

  The Indianapolis - The Worst...

  The USS Indianapolis was a Portland-class heavy cruiser of the United States Navy, commissioned in 1932, and it played a vital role in the Pacific theater during World War II. Its most significant and tragic moment came in 1945, during its final mission. The ship was tasked with delivering critical components for the atomic bomb that would later be dropped on Hiroshima, Japan. This mission, which involved transporting the bomb's uranium core to the island of Tinian, was classified, and few knew about the importance of the cargo aboard the ship. 
  After successfully completing its mission and delivering the components to Tinian on July 26, 1945, the Indianapolis set sail for the Philippines, where it would rendezvous with other ships in the Pacific fleet. The ship’s captain, Charles B. McVay III, had orders to take the cruiser directly to its next destination, avoiding the traditional convoy routes to reduce the risk of submarine attack. With the war nearing its end and Japan’s defeat imminent, the ship's journey seemed routine, and there was little concern about the potential dangers ahead. The USS Indianapolis was an experienced and battle-tested ship, having served in key naval engagements throughout the war, including the Battle of Leyte Gulf and the Battle of the Philippine Sea. 
  However, the absence of a convoy left the Indianapolis vulnerable. On the night of July 29, 1945, while traveling through the Philippine Sea, the ship was struck by two torpedoes fired by the Japanese submarine I-58. The attack tore through the hull, causing devastating damage. Within minutes, the ship began to sink, and the crew was thrown into chaos. Many of the crew members perished instantly, while others scrambled into the water, trying to escape the fiery wreckage of the ship. The survivors faced an unimaginable nightmare as they found themselves stranded in the open ocean, with little hope of immediate rescue.
