Why do organizations and individuals in the UK and other countries still deny the realities of structural racism and unconscious bias? And when there is an acknowledgement of the problem, why are long-term solutions constantly avoided?
The dissolution of the Order of the Temple and the persecution of the Knights Templar are still fresh in people's minds. Why did King Philip the Fair and Pope Clement V set out to destroy them? What secrets did the Knights Templar hold? Just as the Da Vinci Code revealed the existence of the Order of the Priory of Sion and left its mark on the world, Jean-Patrick Pourtal takes you on an investigative journey from the 14th century to the present day. The author develops his hypotheses on the historical implications of the Knights Templar, mixing royal dynasty and hidden messages. He returns to mythical sites such as Arginy, Gisors and Rennes-Le-Château, and meets the characters who were instrumental in bringing about the so-called Templar resurgence.Zum Buch

This book contains two titles. Here are some snippets of what you can find in there: Book 1 - Verbal abuse involves making negative, defining statements about a person or withholding responses to diminish their presence. Essentially, it means belittling, insulting, or patronizing someone, or gossiping behind their back. When the abuser fails to apologize or retract their harmful statements, the relationship may be characterized by verbal abuse. Such abuse is often driven by underlying anger, which fuels and sustains the abusive behavior. In schools and everyday life, verbal abuse, often accompanied by physical bullying, serves to elevate the abuser's status over their target and to rally others against the victim. Typically, the bully may not know any other way to connect with others emotionally. Book 2 - Influence, at its core, means having the power to affect people or situations. Subconsciously, we are constantly influenced and are influencing others through countless factors that impact our decisions. Even something as mundane as choosing toothpaste involves a myriad of external influences. Influence is a universal phenomenon, not confined by species or origin. Although the factors that contribute to influence might seem endless, social scientists have identified fewer than ten key aspects. This book will explore how to effectively influence others to achieve your desired outcomes.Zum Buch
