  You’ve been told what love should feel like. Movies. Songs. Butterflies. Obsession. That can’t-eat-can’t-sleep intensity that takes over your mind and body. 
    
  But when you finally meet someone who’s actually healthy for you—emotionally available, consistent, genuinely kind—it doesn’t feel like that at all. It feels calm. Steady. Sometimes almost boring. And you start wondering: Where are the fireworks? Where’s the chemistry? 
    
  What Healthy Love Actually Feels Like is a grounded, emotionally honest audiobook about unlearning the chaos you were taught to call passion—and learning how to recognize healthy love when it shows up as something quieter. 
    
  Across seven clear lessons, you’ll learn what healthy love feels like in real life:Why safety can feel like “no spark” when you’re used to anxietyThe difference between intensity and intimacy (nervous-system activation vs. nervous-system rest)How being seen feels different from being impressedWhy consistency creates trust—and intensity often creates addictionHow freedom and space are signs of security (not rejection)Why respect matters more than chemistry once real life beginsHow healthy love feels like home: calm, steady, non-performative 
  This isn’t a book about dating games or “playing it cool.” It’s about learning to stop mistaking attachment wounds for chemistry, and choosing the kind of connection that doesn’t make you bracing for impact. 
  Because healthy love doesn’t feel like falling.  It feels like landing. 
  -- 
  Includes a practical Companion Guide with grounding prompts, body-based check-ins, and simple exercises to help you recognize healthy love in real time—and stay with calm instead of chasing chaos.

  The Pursuit of Dominance - 2000...

  The United States is the most powerful actor in the international system, but it is facing a set of challenges that might lead to its decline as this century unfolds. 
   
   
   
  In The Pursuit of Dominance, Christopher J. Fettweis examines the grand strategy of previous superpowers to see how they maintained, or failed to maintain, their status. Over the course of six cases, from Ancient Rome to the British Empire, he seeks guidance from the past for present US policymakers. Like the United States, the examples Fettweis uses were the world's strongest powers at particularly moments in time, and they were hoping to stay that way. Rather than focusing on those powers' rise or how they ruled, however, Fettweis looks at how they sought to maintain their power. From these cases, one paramount lesson becomes clear: Dominant powers usually survive even the most incompetent leaders. Fettweis is most interested in how these superpowers defined their interests, the grand strategies these regimes followed to maintain superiority over their rivals, and how the practice of that strategy worked. 
   
   
   
  A sweeping history of grand strategy, The Pursuit of Dominance looks at the past 2,000 years to highlight what—if anything—current US strategists can learn from the experience of earlier superpowers.

  Explore the folklore of the trickster, villain, and rescuer known as Baba Yaga in a new light. “With Becoming Baba Yaga, Kris Spisak presents a robust work of scholarship. Baba Yaga is a wily shapeshifter, nearly impossible to pin down—but Spisak miraculously transforms alongside her, ever keeping up.” —from the foreword by GennaRose Nethercott, bestselling author of Thistlefoot   When darkness, fear, and instability inundate our daily lives, folktale figures like Baba Yaga speak to the dichotomy of our existence—the hope and the horror, the magic and the mundane. At once an old hag and an enchantress, a demon and wish granter, a feminist and nothing more than a fairytale, Baba Yaga is an endlessly complex folktale character.  Becoming Baba Yaga provides an in-depth look at the Baba Yaga mythos and history through Slavic folklore. Filled with historical and cultural context, analyses, and the stories themselves that add depth to the conversation. A comprehensive resource for anyone hoping to learn more about this ambiguous character and how her multifaceted presence still ripples through the present day, Becoming Baba Yaga is as thoughtful as it is illuminating.   Spisak explores Baba Yaga’s connection to nature as an Earth goddess and as an herbalist. She also delves into the Shadow Self and Baba Yaga’s aspect as a trickster and places her in a modern context as not merely a witch of the woods but also as an archetype and force for finding your own path. Becoming Baba Yaga shares how she is both a force for good as much as evil and a feminist before her time.

  Surveillance - A Very Short...

  Surveillance permeates every aspect of our lives today. Every click on the keyboard, every call, text or email, every purchase, every contact with a doctor or the police or a government department, each time you walk under a video camera or pass through a security check, and in many other ways, you are recorded, identified, traced, and tracked. Who processes this free-flowing data, how, and with what consequences, is a critical question affecting everyone. 
   
   
   
  Surveillance is not inherently good or bad but neither is it neutral. It urgently needs to be understood better because people's lives and life-chances depend on it. Today surveillance is central to doing business, meeting friends, organizing governance, maintaining security, and being entertained. Surveillance requires not just exploration and understanding but ethical guidance and political debate. How you get credit or welfare benefits or get on a no-fly list or are ranked as a consumer depends on surveillance. This Very Short Introduction investigates how surveillance makes people visible, how it grew to its present size and prevalence, how it came to rely on technologies of data-handling, and how it developed its own cultural features. Throughout, David Lyon also considers the ethics of surveillance, and explores its potential in prompting political struggles.
