  The American way of life is imbued with an evident culture of consumerism and overconsumption. The American Dream has been linked to worldly attitudes and the belief that riches equals happiness. Growing trends in minimalism and the pursuit of happiness, on the other hand, are gaining traction and bringing to light issues such as overconsumption, the physical and mental impacts of clutter, and what actually brings joy.Increasing distractions in everyday life detract from our ability to pay attention and divert our attention from the events that genuinely count. Mindfulness has been shown in the past to be a helpful approach for reducing the deluge of worthless or damaging information. Individuals seeking increased well-being may also benefit from decluttering, according to anecdotal evidence.Is it possible that decluttering, like mindfulness, might increase overall happiness, tranquillity, and mental clarity? Is it true that decluttering boosts confidence, productivity, and relationship happiness? Is it true that decluttering lessens the value of material belongings and feelings of being overwhelmed by "stuff"? In this book, you will find all the answers you are looking for

  The Byzantine Empire - Eastern...

  The origins of the Byzantine Empire are deeply rooted in the legacy of the Roman Empire. As the Roman Empire grew increasingly difficult to manage due to its vast size, Emperor Diocletian initiated a division in the late 3rd century CE, separating the empire into Eastern and Western regions. This decision, though initially administrative, laid the groundwork for what would become two distinct political and cultural entities. While the Western Roman Empire succumbed to barbarian invasions and internal instability, the Eastern Roman Empire endured, evolving into what we now recognize as the Byzantine Empire. 
  One of the most pivotal moments in the birth of Byzantium came in 330 CE, when Emperor Constantine the Great established a new capital on the site of the ancient city of Byzantium. Renamed Constantinople, meaning "City of Constantine," it was strategically located on the Bosporus Strait, bridging Europe and Asia. This location was not only advantageous for trade but also easier to defend from invasions. Constantinople quickly rose to prominence as a center of politics, culture, and commerce, outshining Rome itself in influence and prestige. The city’s grandeur, with its towering walls and monumental architecture, symbolized the strength and ambition of the new Eastern Empire. 
  The early years of the Byzantine Empire were marked by both challenges and triumphs. While the Western Roman Empire fell in 476 CE, the Eastern Empire continued to thrive, preserving Roman laws, administrative systems, and military traditions. However, the Byzantines were not merely Roman in continuation—they adapted and transformed their identity over time. Greek became the dominant language, replacing Latin in most official and cultural contexts, and Orthodox Christianity emerged as a defining feature of Byzantine life.

  Strength in Numbers - How Polls...

  Public opinion polling is the ultimate democratic process; it gives every person an equal voice in letting elected leaders know what they need and want. But in the eyes of the public, polls today are tarnished. Recent election forecasts have routinely missed the mark and media coverage of polls has focused solely on predicting winners and losers. 
   
   
   
  In Strength in Numbers, data journalist G. Elliott Morris argues that the larger purpose of political polls is to improve democracy, not just predict elections. Whether used by interest groups, the press, or politicians, polling serves as a pipeline from the governed to the government, giving citizens influence they would otherwise lack. No one who believes in democracy can afford to give up on polls; they should commit, instead, to understanding them better. 
   
   
   
  Morris takes listeners from the first semblance of data-gathering in the ancient world through to the development of modern-day scientific polling. He explains how the internet and "big data" have solved many challenges in polling—and created others. He covers the rise of polling aggregation and methods of election forecasting, reveals how data can be distorted and misrepresented, and demystifies the uncertainty of polling. Acknowledging where polls have gone wrong in the past, Morris charts a path for the industry's future.
