  Drawing on lessons from renowned teachers such as Dr. Rick Hanson, Jack Kornfield, Tara Brach, and Eckhart Tolle, David Franklin shares his personal evolution from a hare-like, fast-paced mentality to a more mindful, turtle-like approach to life. 
  Through anecdotes, reflections, and modern interpretations of timeless fables like "The Tortoise and the Hare," Franklin explores the importance of balance in our hectic lives. He emphasizes the power of slowing down, cultivating resilience, and finding harmony between action and stillness. By blending Eastern wisdom with Western psychology, he offers practical insights and strategies for readers to integrate mindfulness, presence, and purpose into their daily routines. "How to Catch a Turtle" is more than just a self-help book; it's a call to awaken the conscious mind and reclaim agency over one's life. 
  With warmth, humor, and sincerity, Franklin encourages readers to embrace the rabbit's energetic pace and the turtle's steady perseverance, finding fulfillment and joy in the delicate dance between the two. Ultimately, "How to Catch a Turtle" guides discovering inner peace, fostering resilience, and achieving balance in an increasingly chaotic world. It invites readers to embark on their journey of self-discovery, learning how to slow down, savor life's moments, and catch their own metaphorical turtle.

  After the Blitz - The Luftwaffe...

  From May 1941 to the end of night raids in 1943, Luftwaffe bombers attacked provincial cities across England, Scotland, and Wales. However, these air raids are not considered part of the Blitz—at least, not according to the British Official History. The official historiography maintains that the Blitz on the United Kingdom ended when aircraft were redeployed to support the invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, after the final major raid against London that May. In After the Blitz: The Luftwaffe Bombing of Britain, 1941–1943, author Stephen Moore argues that official histories minimize the impact of bombing on cities like Newcastle, Hull, Liverpool, Manchester, and Birmingham because they use attacks on London to define the Blitz's chronological boundaries. By excavating British and German archives and cross-referencing government documentation with memoirs and secondary sources, Moore demonstrates that Britain suffered from Luftwaffe assaults well after the official end date of the Blitz and rescues the history of post-Blitz bombings from obscurity. 
  After the Blitz cements itself in the historical record by confronting the official scholarship that has been foundational to the field and affirms the traumatic experiences of people who lived outside of London during this period.

  William Seward Burroughs (February 5, 1914 to August 2, 1997) was an American writer and visual artist. He is widely considered a primary figure of the Beat Generation and a major postmodern author who influenced both underground and popular culture and literature. Much of Burroughs' work is highly experimental and features unreliable narrators. Also noted as semi-autobiographical, his work often drew from his experiences with drug addiction, and featured his various places of residence as settings in much of his work. The following recording is from a press conference in November 1974.

  Conspiracy - Why the Rational...

  Best-selling author Michael Shermer presents an overarching theory of conspiracy theories—who believes them and why, which ones are real, and what we should do about them. 
   
  Nothing happens by accident, everything is connected, and there are no coincidences: that is the essence of conspiratorial thinking. Long a fringe part of the American political landscape, conspiracy theories are now mainstream: 147 members of Congress voted in favor of objections to the 2020  
  presidential election based on an unproven theory about a rigged electoral process promoted by the mysterious group QAnon. But this is only the latest example in a long history of ideas that include the satanic panics of the 1980s, the New World Order and Vatican conspiracy theories, fears about  
  fluoridated water, speculations about President John F. Kennedy's assassination, and the notions that the Sandy Hook massacre was a false-flag operation and 9/11 was an inside job. 
   
  In Conspiracy, Michael Shermer presents an overarching review of conspiracy theories—who believes them and why, which ones are real, and what we should do about them. Trust in conspiracy theories, he writes, cuts across gender, age, race, income, education level, occupational status—and even  
  political affiliation. One reason that people believe these conspiracies, Shermer argues, is that enough of them are real that we should be constructively conspiratorial: elections have been rigged (LBJ's 1948 Senate race); medical professionals have intentionally harmed patients in their care (Tuskegee); your  
  government does lie to you (Watergate, Iran-Contra, and Afghanistan); and, tragically, some adults do conspire to sexually abuse children. But Shermer reveals that other factors are also in play: anxiety and a sense of loss of control play a role in conspiratorial cognition patterns, as do certain personality traits. 
   
  This engaging book will be an important read for anyone concerned about the future direction of American politics, as well as anyone who's watched friends or family fall into patterns of conspiratorial thinking.
