  If you don't like what you see when you look in the mirror, you may not realize that these feelings are entirely within your grasp.

It helps you discover your personal body image strengths and vulnerabilities and then guides you in creating new, life-changing experiences of mindfulness and body acceptance. After completing this eight-step program, you'll look at yourself in a whole new light-seeing the beauty of the real you.

  Nazi Germany and World War II:...

  "My good friends," the mustached, bony man with thick eyebrows and large, strong teeth somewhat reminiscent of those of a horse, shouted to the crowds from the second-floor window of his house at 10 Downing Street, "this is the second time in our history, that there has come back to Downing Street from Germany peace with honor. I believe it is peace for our time."  
  	The man addressing the crowd, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, had just returned from the heart of Nazi Germany following negotiations with Adolf Hitler, and the crowd gathered outside the English leader's house on September 30, 1938 greeted these ringing words with grateful cheers. The piece of paper Chamberlain flourished exultantly seemed to offer permanent amity and goodwill between democratic Britain and totalitarian Germany. In it, Britain agreed to allow Hitler's Third Reich to absorb the Sudeten regions of Czechoslovakia without interference from either England or France, and since high percentages of ethnic Germans – often more than 50% locally – inhabited these regions, Hitler's demand for this territory seemed somewhat reasonable to Chamberlain and his supporters. With Germany resurgent and rearmed after the disasters inflicted on it by the Treaty of Versailles following World War I, the pact – known as the Munich Agreement – held out hope of a quick end to German ambitions and the return of stable, normal international relations across Europe.  
  	Of course, the Munich agreement is now notorious because its promise proved barren within a very short period of time. Indeed, it effectively signed away Czechoslovakia's independence to Hitler's hungry new Third Reich, and within two years, most of the world found itself plunged into a conflict which made a charnelhouse of Europe and left somewhere between 60-80 million people dead globally.

  New York Times bestselling author Sam Harris is one of the most famous popular thinkers of our day. With a YouTube podcast channel Making Sense of almost half a million subscribers, and almost three million views of his debates with Jordan Peterson. The author of several books, and podcaster, Sam can be described for British audiences as Russell Brand with a neurology doctorate.
  Being Sam Harris challenges the central ideas of Sam's works. Ranging through philosophy, logic, history, religion, the science of neuro-imaging, and more.
  Sam is accused of being a one trick charlatan. A disingenuous showman who uses the technique of Singularity to generate a kaleidoscope of logically flawed and socially dangerous ideas. Despite their neo-liberal hippy patina, Sam's recipes for life demand suicide for the Self. All that remains is the autodidactic, synthesist benevolence of being Sam Harris.

  How to Defeat the Far Right:...

  ‘A brilliant and challenging book’ GORDON BROWN 
  From the founder of Britain’s leading antifascist organisation, HOPE not hate, this is an urgent call to resist the forces of extremism on the march in Western societies – and how to go about it. 
  If you’re shocked and disconcerted by the rise of intolerance and hate, you’re not alone. 
  Drawing from 35 years of campaigning and journalism, Nick Lowles shows how anti-immigration, antisemitic and Islamophobic attacks have proliferated in the modern world, and how Britain – with the likes of Tommy Robinson and the growth of Reform UK – has been far from immune from far-right politics. 
  From HOPE not hate’s pioneering campaigns against the BNP in east London to the impact of the ‘manosphere’ and the issues in Netflix's Adolescence; from explorations of the pernicious influence of ‘race science’ and conspiracy theory to the interplay of deprivation and intolerance in Britain’s deindustrialised towns, Lowles entwines his inspirational story with hard-won lessons from decades of activism. 
  His conclusions – which do not shy away from awkward truths for campaigners – suggest practical ways for the far right to be defeated. And he shares powerful examples – from a participant-led youth club in Hull to Syrian refugees connecting with local people over falafel in Bradford – of finding the joy in showing that, hard as it can seem, HOPE can triumph over hate. 
  In his latest non-fiction work, Lowles explores the social and political ideologies that underpin totalitarianism and organised terrorism. It's a true biography of activists fighting against ethnic intolerance and fascism, making it a must-read for those interested in these topics.

  In the Socrates Meets series, Peter Kreeft revives the classic method of bringing philosophy to life through dialogue. In eight innovative volumes, he uncovers the principles, assumptions, and sometimes dangerous conclusions of some of history’s most influential minds.  Each dialogue imagines a purgatory where we can listen in on conversations between Socrates and the great thinkers who, centuries later, picked up the philosopher’s torch. Each conversation investigates one of the philosopher’s key works, a short, readable classic that raises central questions both for philosophy and for life. In this volume, Socrates cross-examines Søren Kierkegaard, the father of Christian existentialism and author of Philosophical Fragments, exploring imagination, truth, faith, love, and Jesus Christ.
