    On December 7th 1941 as World War II raged, the focus of attention was snatched from the battlefields of Europe and diverted to the smoke and flames rising from the American Naval Base in Hawaii, Pearl Harbor. The Empire of the Rising Sun had finally struck, piercing the heart of the US navy in a bid to ensure that their plans for an Asian Empire, every bit as ambitious as Adolf Hitler’s Thousand Year Reich, were not threatened. 
     
    But as the injured were rushed to safety and America reeled from the shock of the Japanese attack, those battling against Hitler, most notably Winston Churchill and the people of Great Britain, were able to find some comfort in the tragedy, because America’s President, Franklin D Roosevelt, could now justify bringing the United States into the war. 
     
    The story of Pearl Harbor may have been told many times, but it’s nonetheless always fascinating and in this journal, we will have the opportunity to revisit the events of that monumental day as they unfolded, from the bombing of the USS Panay to the attack on Pearl itself, while discovering the reasons why the Japanese fleets travelled far across the ocean, to pick a fight with World War II’s sleeping giant.

    "Totem and Taboo" by Sigmund Freud explores the origins of human culture, religion, and morality through a psychoanalytic lens. Freud draws parallels between primitive societies and modern neuroses, examining totemism, taboos, and the Oedipus complex. He argues that primal emotions and unconscious drives shape societal structures, including laws and religious practices. By analyzing rituals, myths, and prohibitions, Freud delves into the psychological underpinnings of group identity and authority. A groundbreaking work, it bridges anthropology and psychoanalysis, offering provocative insights into the shared roots of individual and collective behavior. Though controversial, it remains a foundational text for understanding human nature.

You may suffer from anxiety, depression, or painful memories as a result of this trauma. And if you seek help, you may find that Western-trained mental health professionals simply can’t understand your pain and life experiences. This book provides culturally informed treatment methods to help you heal from and fortify yourself against race-based trauma—including intergenerational and historical trauma—and stress. 
     
     
     
    Written by an Asian American psychologist, this workbook blends contemporary psychology with ancient mind-body approaches to help you build resilience in the face of racism, overcome trauma and internalized oppression, reclaim your mental health, and celebrate your heritage. Using skills grounded in culturally informed cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and somatic practices from Asian cultures, you'll learn to create a healthy identity, balance your emotions, cultivate a growth mindset, and increase a feeling of connection with your community. You'll also discover tools to help you manage negative thoughts and feelings, identify your values, build resilience in the face of stress, improve relationships, and foster healing in your community.
