I Don't Want to Go to School...

Thierry Delcourt

“I don’t want to gp. I just can’t do it anymore.” "My stomach hurts, and I'm afraid of throwing up." "It sucks. What’s the point.” "I'm tired. I need a break. "I'm just fine where I am, in my room."
Since the health crisis, Thierry Delcourt has observed a considerable increase in children who cannot or no longer want to go to school, not only for problems of violence, racketeering and bullying, but rather for much more troubling reasons—hostility, laziness, convenience or opportunism. According to the author, who has cross-checked data from National Education and the CNED, absenteeism at school has increased by 10% over the last 3 years. 
This book aims to enlighten anxious parents, disoriented teachers, and psychologists who are overwhelmed by these situations, and to provide an approach to understand and overcome these obstacles that lead to school dropout and, in the long run, to school failure. Each chapter refers to a particular situation, analyzes the reason for it and then offers advice on how to combat this scourge.

Does Self-Knowledge Come Through...

Jiddu Krishnamurti

1. Does self-knowledge come through searching? - 16 July 1949 
• What is it that most of us are seeking? 
• Does clarity come through searching and trying to find out what others say? 
• Can incessant search and longing give you the extraordinary sense of reality or 
creative being that comes when you really understand yourself? 
• Without knowing your background and the substance of your thought, where 
it comes from, surely your search is utterly futile and your action has no 
meaning. 
• The responsibility for any action depends on ourselves, not on others.

Mind Games - Psychological...

Cito Harder

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.

Populism Vs Liberalism - A...

Arlo Holders

Political ideologies form the foundation of how societies organize governance, economics, and social structures. They are systems of ideas and beliefs that provide a framework for political thought and action, influencing policies, institutions, and the behavior of individuals and groups. Among the diverse range of ideologies, populism and liberalism have emerged as two of the most significant and often opposing forces in modern political discourse. This chapter introduces the concepts of populism and liberalism, highlights their importance, and sets the stage for the comparative analysis that follows.
Populism is a political approach that champions the rights and concerns of the common people against an established elite. It is often characterized by a rhetoric that emphasizes “the people” as a unified and virtuous entity, contrasted with a corrupt and self-serving elite. While populism can manifest across the political spectrum, its appeal lies in its simplicity and directness, offering solutions that often resonate with those who feel excluded or marginalized by traditional institutions. Populist movements frequently arise in periods of social upheaval or economic insecurity, presenting themselves as corrective forces against perceived injustices.
In contrast, liberalism is a political ideology rooted in the principles of individual rights, equality, and the rule of law. It advocates for democratic governance, free markets, and the protection of civil liberties. Liberalism’s historical development is closely linked with movements such as the Enlightenment and the rise of constitutional democracies. As a flexible and adaptive ideology, liberalism has evolved to address modern issues such as social justice, environmental concerns, and global cooperation while maintaining its foundational emphasis on freedom and equality.
