Synopsis

Principles of Philosophy is a book by Rene Descartes. It is basically a synthesis of the Discourse on Method and Meditations on First Philosophy.
It set forth the principles of nature—the Laws of Physics--as Descartes viewed them. Most notably, it set forth the principle that in the absence of external forces, an object's motion will be uniform and in a straight line. Newton borrowed this principle from Descartes and included it in his own Principia; to this day, it is still generally referred to as Newton's First Law of Motion. The book was primarily intended to replace the Aristotelian curriculum then used in French and British Universities. Descartes's use of the word "philosophy" in the title refers to "natural philosophy", which is what science was called at that time.

    An introduction to Eastern storytelling that opens listeners' minds to radically different ways of telling a satisfying story. 
     
     
     
    Discussions in the West around diversity in the arts often focus on the identities of characters and creators. Speculative fiction author and writing instructor Henry Lien makes the pathbreaking argument that diversity is about more than just plopping different faces into stories that are 100 percent Western in spirit; it can—and should—encompass diverse structures, themes, and values. 
     
     
     
    Using examples ranging from Parasite to The Thousand and One Nights to the Mario video game franchise, Lien shows how storytelling staples in the West, such as the three-act structure and themes of empowerment and change, are far from universal. He introduces the East Asian four-act structure (kishotenketsu), as well as circular and nested structures, and explains how Eastern value systems such as collectivism can dictate form. Spring, Summer, Asteroid, Bird is essential for any writer or reader who wants to broaden their understanding of how to tell a satisfying story.

    This book contains the following titles: 
    The Joy Journey - Life is a journey, and along this journey, we often find ourselves searching for something that will bring us lasting contentment: happiness. Yet, happiness is not a destination to be reached, but a path to be walked. In a world that constantly demands more from us, it can be easy to overlook the power of small, intentional steps toward joy. We get caught up in the chase for success, the pursuit of external validation, or the quest to fix what we perceive as wrong in our lives. However, true happiness lies not in the perfect outcome, but in how we approach the journey itself. 
    The Wellness Mindset - The power of a wellness mindset lies in its ability to reshape how you perceive challenges and opportunities. Life is filled with uncertainties, setbacks, and stressors. However, when you approach these situations with resilience and optimism, you unlock the potential to grow and thrive. Instead of being paralyzed by obstacles, you learn to see them as steppingstones that contribute to personal growth. This shift in perspective not only enhances your emotional strength but also impacts your physical health. Studies have shown that individuals with a positive outlook are less likely to experience chronic illnesses and more likely to recover quickly when faced with adversity.

    Black men must understand that religion or their faith is instrumental in their lives, and it affects their decisions and encourages them in times of trouble. Although black men have made economic and educational improvements in the past, there are still problems that make black men today more depressed, stressed, and sad about their current conditions. The stereotypes that all black men are irresponsible, make babies, leave their families behind, and create impediments to success, love, and economic stability, are wrong. Black men have feelings, from the obdurate gang banger to the father who works two jobs to support his family, while the pressure of the world sits on their dreams like an anchor pulling them toward defeat. 
      However, black men are trying to change their lives, and what they do not need, is outside influences obstructing their desire to positively change. Yes, many black men are angry, and many black men are tired of negative and racist misinformation concerning them and their communities. This is the most beloved book on real black men's issues TRYING and DOING positive things to atone and avert from their past mistakes.
