  The Creative Self - Beyond...

  "Be the best you can be!" Practically from the moment we are born, we are taught to optimize our lives—to devote ourselves to increasing our productivity and efficiency, which, we are told, will make us happier and more successful. The imperative of constant self-improvement, however, drains us dry even as it promises to build us up. 
   
   
   
  The Creative Self delves into the hegemony of neoliberal self-optimization and turns to psychoanalysis in search of an alternative. In paired chapters, Mari Ruti and Gail M. Newman examine the works of the psychoanalysts Marion Milner and Donald W. Winnicott. They provide deeply personal accounts of how these thinkers resonate with day-to-day life, exploring modes of selfhood that subtly but profoundly resist the lure and escape the trap of competitive individualism. Milner urges us to relinquish the ego in the face of loss and lack, and Winnicott asks us to accept the paradoxes of the self instead of demanding their resolution. Together, their insights help us flourish where neoliberal self-improvement would stifle us. Combining the intellectual, the personal, and the political from two perspectives that converge and diverge in striking ways, this book offers an antidote to transactional individualism and envisions forms of creative living beyond its confines.

  Hi, I’m Jeannie Savage, and right now I’m excited. Why? Because I am about to share with you my Bookkeeping Practice BluePrint – your step-by-step guide to success, and the planning, diagnostic and day-to-day tool that will help maximise and sustain that success. 
  In this book, we’ll cover a range of topics that will give you clear instructions on how to use the BluePrint I’ve developed over 13 long years. We’ll start with a crash course in Getting it Done, which will help you develop the mindset, the habits and the processes that you’ll need. And then we’ll move onto the mechanics of getting it done using the BluePrint – your Foundations, Products and Pricing, Finding and Engaging Your Audience, and putting on your Business Development Hat. And believe me, by the time we get to that last chapter, your new Business Development Hat will not only fit and look fabulous on you, but you will also feel incredibly comfortable wearing it. 
  Using this book along with my first book – and complemented by my podcast – I think you’ll be motivated to join my transformation program. But if for some reason you aren't ready to become a full member of my tribe, I recommend my starter membership. Named “starter” because it’s a great place to start. In fact, many of our successful tribe members inside my program started there too. You can find a link to my starter membership at www.thestrategicbookkeeper.global/starter 
  Whether you join us or not, I hope you find real value in The Bookkeeping Practice Blueprint, and I wish you the very best of success and freedom. The world needs more strategic bookkeepers, and I’m sure you’ll bring credit to our profession; however you go about it.

  Foolproof - Why Misinformation...

  Sander van der Linden

  From fake news to conspiracy theories, from inflammatory memes to misleading headlines, misinformation has swiftly become the defining problem of our era. The crisis threatens the integrity of our democracies, our ability to cultivate trusting relationships, even our physical and psychological well-being—yet most attempts to combat it have proven insufficient. 
   
   
   
  With remarkable clarity, Sander van der Linden explains why our brains are so vulnerable to misinformation. Like a virus, misinformation infects our minds, exploiting shortcuts in how we see and process information to alter our beliefs, modify our memories, and replicate at astonishing rates. Once the virus takes hold, it's very hard to cure. 
   
   
   
  But we aren't helpless. As van der Linden shows based on award-winning original research, we can cultivate immunity through the innovative science of "prebunking": inoculating people against false information by preemptively exposing them to a weakened dose, thus empowering them to identify and fend off its manipulative tactics. Deconstructing the characteristic techniques of conspiracies and misinformation, van der Linden gives listeners practical tools to defend themselves and others against nefarious persuasion—whether at scale or around their own dinner table.

  Dermatology - Skin Diseases and...

  Dermatology is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of skin, hair, and nail disorders. It plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health, as the skin is the body’s largest organ and serves as a protective barrier against environmental factors. Dermatologists are trained to treat a wide variety of conditions, ranging from common skin issues like acne and eczema to life-threatening diseases such as melanoma. 
  The importance of skin health cannot be overstated. Skin diseases can affect an individual’s quality of life, often causing physical discomfort, emotional distress, and social stigma. Early detection and treatment are vital to prevent complications and improve outcomes. Dermatology is not only about managing diseases but also about enhancing cosmetic appearance and improving skin function, contributing to patients' self-esteem and overall well-being. 
  Skin functions as the first line of defense against external factors such as bacteria, viruses, pollutants, and harmful UV radiation. It also plays a role in regulating body temperature, preventing dehydration, and producing vitamin D. Understanding the skin’s structure and functions is fundamental to diagnosing and treating dermatologic conditions. The skin is composed of three primary layers: the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue. The epidermis serves as the outermost layer, providing a waterproof barrier and containing melanocytes responsible for skin pigmentation. Beneath it lies the dermis, which houses blood vessels, hair follicles, sweat glands, and nerve endings, playing a crucial role in sensation and temperature regulation. The deepest layer, the subcutaneous tissue, contains fat and connective tissue that insulate and protect internal organs.
