Summary

Why is it so important to understand what drives us to act in everyday life? How do we make decisions? What thought structures do we follow to determine our choices?

In this guide you will find a simple, clear and comprehensive explanation of what it means to make a decision and how to improve the process of choosing in the face of uncertainty. Every day people have to make estimates, evaluations and decisions about thousands of possibilities. Science has shown that expert decision-makers make choices differently from ordinary people.

This guide takes the reader by the hand and takes them through four step-by-step passages that highlight the key issues:

- what it means to make a decision and what the main scientific theories on decision-making are;
- how cognitive errors and bìas work when we make decisions;
- what role emotions play in choice processes;
- what the limits are and how far one can go in this field.

Learning to make functional and effective choices is a skill that can be learned by anyone, but only if they have the right knowledge and put it into practice. This guide is accompanied by numerous invitations to self-analysis and practical exercises, so as to offer the reader a true path of personal development.

    Relive the tumult and bloodshed of the early Soviet years from the eyes of Emma Goldman.  
As a student of history, some of us wonder about anarchism and communism coexisting at the same time. Emma Goldman 
witnessed chaos and bloodshed from both. 
Emma Goldman (June 27, 1869 – May 14, 1940) was a Lithuanian-born anarchist revolutionary, political activist, and writer. She played a pivotal role in the development of anarchist political philosophy in North America and Europe in the first half of the 20th century. 
Born in Kaunas, Lithuania (then within the Russian Empire), to an Orthodox Lithuanian Jewish family, Goldman immigrated to the United States in 1885.[Attracted to anarchism after the Chicago Haymarket affair, Goldman became a writer and a renowned lecturer on anarchist philosophy, women's rights and social issues. 
Some years ago Emma Goldman was deported from the United States and went to Russia to investigate personally what she believed to be the nearest approach to a Utopia which the world had yet produced. 
Her experiences so thoroughly disillusioned her that she conceived it to be her duty to set forth these experiences and her conclusions, which she did in a book entitled “My Disillusionment in Russia.” The rights in this material she sold to an American newspaper syndicate from whom we purchased the book rights, and by whom we were furnished with the copy for the book. We published the book under date of October 26, 1923, and not until it was in circulation did we learn that it was minus the last twelve chapters which had never been turned over to us by the newspaper syndicate, nor had any intimation been given us that the copy turned over to us was incomplete. While the conclusion of the book as we published it was abrupt it was not{vi} more so than is frequently the case; and, therefore, there was no internal evidence to indicate its incompleteness.

    "Phenomenal . . . Offers us possibilities for rescuing the concept of democracy from its fatal entanglement with racial, heteropatriarchal capitalism." —Angela Y. Davis 
 
 
 
"A compelling and inspiring book that belongs in our movements and our classrooms." —Chandra Talpade Mohanty, author of Feminism Without Borders 
 
 
 
Become Ungovernable is a provocative new work of political thought setting out to reclaim "freedom", "justice", and "democracy", revolutionary ideas that are all too often warped in the interests of capital and the state. Revealing the mirage of mainstream democratic thought and the false promises of liberal political ideologies, H. L. T. Quan offers an alternative approach: an abolition feminism drawing on a kaleidoscope of refusal praxes, and on a deep engagement with the Black Radical Tradition and queer analytics. 
 
 
 
With each chapter anchored by episodes from the long history of resistance and rebellions against tyranny, Quan calls for us to take up a feminist ethic of living rooted in the principles of radical inclusion, mutuality, and friendship as part of the larger toolkit for confronting fascism, white supremacy, and the neoliberal labor regime.

    Ram Shastri Prabhune conducted an enquiry and found Raghunathrao the culprit in addition to another fifty persons of which there was one female servant. 'The law,' he thundered 'was above the individual.'
The intrepid judge fearlessly argued the point and told Raghunathrao on his face that he was himself found to be the chief culprit and as such deserved the capital punishment. Raghoba asked indirectly whether a person who had committed a crime under unavoidable circumstances and now wanted to repent could seek penance.
When his point was put forth, Ram Shastri boldly declared, 'Dehant prayaschitta shivay doosra kahi prayaschitta nahin,' meaning 'the only penance was capital punishment or a death sentence.' Never before in the history of India or for that matter in any country a sitting judge had passed a death sentence on the ruling monarch. It was a rare show of judicial independence which we possibly do not see even in today's times. Those present in the court could not believe what they had just heard. There was a hushed silence...
