    Reality Therapy - Facing Reality...

    Reality Therapy is a therapeutic approach that emphasizes personal responsibility and focuses on the present moment, encouraging individuals to make choices that align with their true desires and values. Developed by Dr. William Glasser in the 1960s, it diverges from traditional therapeutic methods by centering on the idea that behavior is a choice and that people can gain control of their lives through conscious decisions. 
    At the core of Reality Therapy is the concept that all behavior is purposeful and is driven by an individual's attempt to fulfill basic needs. These needs include survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun. When people feel that these needs are unmet, they often engage in behaviors that are designed to satisfy them, even if those behaviors are not helpful or productive. Reality Therapy challenges individuals to evaluate whether their current behaviors are effective in meeting these needs and whether they are serving their long-term goals. 
    Another key aspect of Reality Therapy is the belief that individuals can only control their own actions. While external circumstances may influence a person's situation, the therapy stresses that the responsibility for behavior lies with the individual. This approach encourages people to focus on what they can change—namely, their actions—and to stop blaming others or external conditions for their problems. It promotes the idea that by changing one’s choices, it is possible to create a more fulfilling and responsible life.

  • Metaphysics - The Philosophy That Studies the Basic Structure of Reality - cover

    Metaphysics - The Philosophy...

    Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy that explores the fundamental nature of reality, addressing the most profound questions about existence, the nature of objects, time, space, causality, and the universe itself. As one of the oldest areas of philosophical inquiry, metaphysics seeks to answer questions that lie at the core of our understanding of the world and our place within it. The term "metaphysics" derives from the Greek words "meta" (beyond) and "physika" (the physical), reflecting the idea of examining that which transcends the physical world and investigates the very structure of reality. 
    At its core, metaphysics asks: What is there? What is it like? How do things exist, and what is the nature of their existence? These questions are timeless, and their answers have evolved over centuries, often influencing or being influenced by developments in other branches of philosophy, science, and theology. In examining the nature of reality, metaphysicians delve into topics like the nature of objects and their properties, the concept of identity and change, the structure of time and space, and the possibility of alternate realities. 
    The scope of metaphysical inquiry is vast. One of the primary areas it addresses is ontology, which concerns the study of being and existence. Ontological questions include inquiries into the types of entities that exist, whether abstract entities (like numbers or concepts) exist independently of human thought, and whether the universe is fundamentally composed of matter or something more fundamental, like energy or consciousness.

    An exploration of the history, mythology, and evidence of those who traveled to pre-Columbian America.   Native groups have lived in the Americas for more than 10,000 years, but the voyages of Columbus surely did not bring the first visitors. Uncharted covers a range of cultures who seemingly visited the Americas long before Columbus, including Egyptians, Greeks, Celts, Vikings, as well as various people from Asia; and one large Chinese group who likely settled in the Americas in 100 BC. Wallace-Murphy and Martin delve into a wealth of evidence and stories, from potential Roman and Phoenician shipwrecks off the coast of South America to Celtic and Norse exploration of North America.   How did the Knights Templar influence the discovery of the New World? How did the Vikings navigate their way? What do the Sinclair family, the Rosslyn Chapel, and two Venetian brothers have to do with the discovery of a new continent? With source materials dating back through millennia, including very recent finds, this book will present a side of history still so readily dismissed by some. Columbus should be remembered, but remembered for the conquering tyrant he was. These other groups did not come to conquer, but to trade, explore, and escape.
