  In our culture, we do not know how to deal with grief, and we see it as something to fix, not something that needs tending. Grieving people feel misunderstood and hopeless, while those who want to help them feel lost and clueless. Megan Devine, a psychotherapist, had been trying to help people deal with grief for a decade before suddenly losing her partner and realizing that her understanding of grief was broken. In It’s OK That You’re Not OK (2017), she re-examines the often chaotic process of grief, based on extensive research and her own experience. Building on her new understanding, Devine offers reassurance and guidance for anyone who is grieving and those who want to help them.

  Answer to the Question An: What...

  Immanuel Kant

  "Answering the Question: What Is Enlightenment?" is a 1784 essay by the philosopher Immanuel Kant. In the December 1784 publication of the Berlinische Monatsschrift (Berlin Monthly), edited by Friedrich Gedike and Johann Erich Biester, Kant replied to the question posed a year earlier by the Reverend Johann Friedrich Zöllner, who was also an official in the Prussian government. Zöllner's question was addressed to a broad intellectual public community, in reply to Biester's essay entitled: "Proposal, not to engage the clergy any longer when marriages are conducted" (April 1783) and a number of leading intellectuals replied with essays, of which Kant's is the most famous and has had the most impact. Kant's opening paragraph of the essay is a much-cited definition of a lack of enlightenment as people's inability to think for themselves due not to their lack of intellect, but lack of courage.
  Kant's essay also addressed the causes of a lack of enlightenment and the preconditions necessary to make it possible for people to enlighten themselves. He held it necessary that all church and state paternalism be abolished and people be given the freedom to use their own intellect. Kant praised Frederick II of Prussia for creating these preconditions. Kant focused on religious issues, saying that "our rulers" had less interest in telling citizens what to think in regard to artistic and scientific issues.

  Emotional Exploitation - Taking...

  Cito Harder

  Emotional exploitation is a subtle yet deeply damaging form of manipulation that preys on a person's emotions to serve the interests of another. Unlike mutual emotional support, which fosters healthy relationships and personal growth, exploitation involves using someone’s feelings, vulnerabilities, or insecurities to gain control, compliance, or advantage. This can occur in personal relationships, the workplace, and even society at large, leaving individuals feeling powerless, confused, and emotionally drained. Understanding emotional exploitation is crucial to recognizing its effects, breaking free from its grasp, and preventing future manipulation. 
  At its core, emotional exploitation thrives on imbalance. The exploiter takes advantage of another person’s emotional investment, whether it be love, trust, guilt, or fear, while offering little or nothing in return. This dynamic can manifest in many ways, such as a friend who constantly seeks emotional support but disappears when others need help, a romantic partner who uses guilt to control decisions, or an employer who manipulates workers into unpaid overtime by making them feel obligated or ungrateful. Regardless of the setting, the pattern remains the same—one person’s emotions are weaponized to serve another’s self-interest. 
  One of the most harmful aspects of emotional exploitation is that it is often difficult to recognize while it is happening. Many individuals who are exploited rationalize the behavior of their manipulator, believing they are simply helping, being loyal, or fulfilling an obligation. Exploiters frequently use gaslighting, guilt-tripping, or shifting blame to make their targets question their own perceptions.

  The Art of War

  Niccolo Machiavelli

  ""The Art of War" is a treatise by the Italian Renaissance political philosopher and historian Niccolò Machiavelli. Written between 1519 and 1520, it was published the following year and remains one of his most important works. Unlike the more widely read "The Prince" and "The Discourses", this book focuses specifically on military matters.    Here are the key features of "The Art of War":    Format: The book takes the form of a Socratic dialogue. Lord Fabrizio Colonna, perhaps Machiavelli's persona, declares the purpose at the outset: "To honor and reward virtù, not to have contempt for poverty, to esteem the modes and orders of military discipline, to constrain citizens to love one another, to live without factions, to esteem less the private than the public good." The military is likened to the roof of a palazzo protecting its contents.  Setting: The dialogues occur in the Orti Oricellari, classical-style gardens built by Bernardo Rucellai in the 1490s for Florentine aristocrats and humanists. The discussions take place between Cosimo Rucellai and "Lord Fabrizio Colonna," with other patrizi and captains of the recent Florentine republic.  Fabrizio's Wisdom: Fabrizio is enamored with the Roman Legions of the early to mid Roman Republic. He advocates adapting their strategies to the contemporary situation of Renaissance Florence. His knowledge dominates the discussions, often turning them into monologues where he details how an army should be raised, trained, organized, deployed, and employed.  Practical Insights: Machiavelli's theories are not merely theoretical; they are based on his observations during his fourteen years as secretary to the Chancery of Florence. He reported on the size, composition, weaponry, morale, and logistical capabilities of the most effective militaries of his day.  "The Art of War" serves as a guide to military leaders, including Frederick the Great and Napoleon, and remains an authoritative treatise on the fundamentals of warfare. Its clear and concise style stands in contrast to that of "The Prince"."

  Invisible No More - Voices from...

  For too long, Native American people in the United States have been stereotyped as vestiges of the past, invisible citizens in their own land obliged to remind others, "We are still here!" Yet today, Native leaders are at the center of social change, challenging philanthropic organizations that have historically excluded Native people, and fighting for economic and environmental justice. 
   
   
   
  Invisible No More is a collection of stories by Native American leaders, many of them women, who are leading the way through cultural grounding and nation-building in the areas of community, environmental justice, and economic justice. Authors in the collection come from over a dozen Native nations. While telling their stories, authors excavate the history and ongoing effects of genocide and colonialism. At the same time, the authors detail ways that listeners might imagine the world differently, presenting stories of Native community building that offer benefits for all. 
   
   
   
  In a world facing a mounting climate crisis and record economic inequality, Invisible No More exposes the deep wounds of a racist past while offering a powerful call to care for one another and the planet. Indigenous communities have much to offer, not the least of which are solutions gleaned from cultural knowledge developed over generations.
