  How to Analyze People - Learn...

  In this volume, our focus shifts slightly to the actual personality types; everyone should be aware of and susceptible to when they cross our paths. These are the people you probably don't want to know. 
  Why? They're people who really don't like other people. Well, they do, but what they like about people is exploiting, damaging, and controlling them. They like people for what they can do for them financially, in their careers, and in terms of their status in society. 
  We've covered some of the general personality types in Book One of our series. That information will have given you some insight into the people you meet and how to read them. But what I've saved for this volume is an examination of those who walk among us who are corrosive and psychologically compromised. Also, in this book, you'll be reading about the role of intuition in detecting the truth about situations and people and how to foster and use it to protect yourself and others from the excesses of the disorders described in this book. 
  We'll be focusing on personality disorders, the behaviors of those who are burdened with them, and how to see them coming. There are tell-tale signs early on in interactions with these people that can save you a lot of drama and chaos.  
  As you move along, you'll note an overlap between symptoms and behaviors. In the Cluster B personality disorders, we'll be looking at, the symptomatic overlap is not only common but expected. Further, those who fall under the headings in the cluster often have what is referred to as "co-morbidities." These are the double whammy types, who live with more than one personality challenge or disorder.

  Supportiveness - The Encouraging...

  Supportiveness is one of the most deeply human traits—a quiet yet powerful force that helps others feel seen, heard, and understood. It’s more than simply being nice or offering a few kind words. At its core, supportiveness is about being emotionally present in someone else’s world, especially when they’re navigating pain, uncertainty, or self-doubt. It means showing up with intention and empathy, even when you don’t have all the answers. In a world where distractions are endless and genuine connection can be rare, the ability to offer steady, meaningful support is a true gift. 
  To fully grasp what it means to be supportive, it’s important to understand its emotional depth. Supportiveness isn't about fixing problems for someone else. Instead, it's about standing beside them as they face what’s hard. It’s offering your presence—not your solutions. When someone is struggling, they often don’t need advice right away. They need to know they’re not alone. They need to feel safe in expressing themselves without fear of being judged or dismissed. That emotional safety is the foundation of support, and it starts with your willingness to be vulnerable too. 
  Trust is essential in any supportive relationship. Without trust, support can feel shallow or performative. But when trust is built through consistent actions—like showing up when it matters, keeping confidences, and listening without jumping to conclusions—your support becomes something the other person can lean on. It's this trust that allows others to open up, to speak their truth, and to feel a little less burdened by the weight they carry. Over time, your reliability becomes a source of strength, not just in moments of crisis but in everyday life.

  From the wind-swept plains of Anshan to the terraced palaces of Persepolis, Founding an Empire follows how a cluster of royal ambitions became the ancient world’s most sophisticated superstate. Opening with Cyrus the Great’s audacious conquests and his radical politics of legitimacy—liberation, local autonomy, and measured mercy—the narrative moves through Cambyses II’s Egyptian campaign at the edge of the known world and into the turbulence of succession that nearly cracked the young empire. It culminates with Darius I’s disciplined counterrevolution: a reforming king who turned roads, taxes, languages, and law into a scalable system.
