  Thomas Moore's now classic work provides a powerful spiritual message for our troubled times. 
  In Care of the Soul readers are presented with a revolutionary approach to thinking about daily life—everyday activities, events, problems and creative opportunities—and a therapeutic lifestyle is proposed that focuses on looking more deeply into emotional problems and learning how to sense sacredness in even ordinary things. 
  Basing his writing on the ancient model of ""care of the soul""—which provided a religious context for viewing the everyday events of life—Moore brings ""care of the soul"" into the 21st century. Promising to deepen and broaden the reader's perspective on his or her own life experiences, Moore draws on his own life as a therapist practicing ""care of the soul,"" as well as his studies of the world's religions and his work in music and art, to create this inspirational guide that examines the connections between spirituality and the problems of individuals and society.

  When the US president, Harry S Truman, declared the Truman Doctrine in March 1947, he could not have known that the resultant Cold War would persist for over forty years until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in December 1991. In addition to nuclear and conventional military friction between the Eastern and Western blocs, the struggle for dominance involved a remarkable range of activities including the space race, psychological efforts, espionage, even rivalry at sporting functions and technological events. This diversity is reflected in the twenty chapters of Cold War Boys which opens with a vivid description from the author of survival procedures used by English Electric Lightning pilots in the event of nuclear war. From there on, various contributors share their original experiences on a range of fixed-wing aircraft and rotorcraft across the world, including tales from RAF Germany, the Falklands, and the Far East. Each story demonstrates some of the intriguing circumstances faced by aircrew and ground crew whose tenacity and professionalism had to cope with miscellaneous situations of danger, excitement, risk, pathos, and humor. This book serves as a reminder of what air forces faced during the Cold War years as the ever-present threat of nuclear war persisted. A must for all aviation fans.

  Mind Games - Psychological...

  Mind games refer to psychological manipulation used to confuse, control, or manipulate others. They are a set of tactics designed to distort reality and influence someone's perception of situations, often without them realizing it. At the core, mind games prey on emotions, thoughts, and behavior, using subtle cues or calculated moves to lead the targeted individual into a state of confusion, self-doubt, or dependency. These psychological games often occur in situations where one person or group seeks to dominate or maintain power over another, exploiting the vulnerabilities of the victim for personal gain. 
  The essence of mind games lies in their subtlety. Unlike direct manipulation or coercion, mind games are indirect, creating an illusion of free will while slowly influencing decisions and actions. A skilled manipulator may present ideas, situations, or beliefs in a way that seems harmless or logical on the surface, yet their true purpose is to influence and control how others think and act. In many cases, these tactics are so skillfully executed that the person being manipulated may never even recognize that they are being played. 
  One of the key aspects of mind games is the element of confusion. Manipulators often engage in tactics that cause the victim to question their own beliefs, memories, and experiences. This psychological tactic, known as gaslighting, is a prime example of mind games at work. By distorting reality, manipulators create uncertainty in their target’s mind, making them doubt their own sense of reality. Over time, this confusion erodes the victim’s confidence and independence, rendering them more susceptible to further manipulation.

  Why Argument Matters

  An impassioned case for argument's central role in human life, by one of America's most distinguished cultural critics 
   
   
   
  From Eve's crafty exchange with the serpent, to Martin Luther King's soaring, subtle ultimatums, to the throes of Twitter—argument's drainpipe—the human desire to prevail with words has been not just a moral but an existential compulsion. In this dazzling reformulation of argument, renowned critic Lee Siegel portrays the true art of argument as much deeper and far more embracing than mere quarrel, dispute, or debate. It is the supreme expression of humanity's longing for a better life, born of empathy and of care for the world and those who inhabit it. With wit, passion, and striking insights, Siegel plumbs the emotional and psychological sources of clashing words, weaving through his exploration the untold story of the role argument has played in societies throughout history. Each life, he maintains, is an argument for that particular way of living; every individual style of argument is also a case that is being made for that person's right to argue. Argument is at the heart of the human experience, and language, at its most liberated and expressive, inexorably bends toward argument.
