    Do you tend to feel anxious and overwhelmed in public places? Do everyday events cause powerful emotions in you? Are you able to sense other people’s emotions intuitively? 
    Does it make you mad to see that good people end up getting hurt needlessly? Do you struggle with selfish or thoughtless people? 
    Dear reader, 
    You feel and absorb not only other people’s emotions, but their physical symptoms, their pain. While talking to others or in a group, while thinking about life, you experience anxiousness, panic attacks, depression… But don’t worry, there’s a name for it - you are an Empath: highly sensitive and intuitive. That’s something truly wonderful and scary at the same time. 
    Being an empath is a great gift. You’re naturally good at helping people. You’re amazingly creative. You’re a great parent because you surround your children with understanding and acceptance. You’re a loving, caring partner. 
    But high emotional sensitivity has its downsides, too. Strong emotions can overwhelm you.

    The world is encountering multiple crises—climate, droughts, floods, energy, food, and pandemics, to name a few. We have a problem, this is the solution. 
     
     
     
    Capitalism and Crises is about how capitalism can fix them—how it can solve not cause them. The reason why it has caused them is that we have misconceived the nature of our capitalist system. We have failed to understand the key institution at the heart of it—business—and as a result we have allowed it to cause as well as solve problems. This book describes why this has happened and what needs to change to address it. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on history, philosophy, psychology, and biology as well economics, law, and finance, Mayer describes what has gone wrong, what needs to change, and how to fix it. He sets out the big challenges that capitalism must address and how it should set about doing that, and discusses how financial institutions should be at the heart of this, and how the public sector can work with the private on a common purpose of solving problems and creating shared prosperity. Capitalism and Crises provides an inspiring and motivational roadmap of how we as practitioners, policymakers, consumers, employees, communities, students, and citizens of the world can together tackle the challenges of the twenty-first century—to flourish and survive.

    Have you ever reacted to something and immediately wished you had handled it differently? 
     
    Maybe you said something in anger. 
    Shut down during conflict. 
    Overthought a situation until it felt worse than it actually was. 
     
    Emotional reactions often happen faster than logic. In moments of pressure, criticism, or stress, your brain is wired to protect you — even if that protection leads to impulsive decisions you later regret. 
     
    Emotional Regulation is a practical, easy-to-follow guide designed to help you understand why you react the way you do — and how to take back control in everyday situations. 
     
    In this audiobook, you’ll learn how to: 
     
    1. Recognize emotional triggers before they take over 
     
    2. Create space between impulse and response 
     
    3. Stay calm during conflict and criticism 
     
    4. Manage anxiety in real-time 
     
    5. Control anger without suppressing it 
     
    Build long-term emotional resilience through daily habits 
     
    This is not about suppressing emotions or becoming passive. It’s about responding with clarity instead of reacting out of urgency. 
     
    Whether you're dealing with relationship stress, workplace pressure, or everyday frustrations, these techniques are designed to help you remain steady when emotions run high.
