  Aggression War and Conflict -...

  Aggression is rampant almost everywhere nowadays, sometimes in its legal and approved form and increasingly in illegal activities. Where it is approved, it may be called “getting on in the world,” that is, stepping on others’ heads so that you can get to the top. This is success in a worldly sense, but not in a Buddhist one. It is also approved of for men (though not by them for women!) as being a mark of mastery and virility, yet it will never bring happiness. For if people are mastered forcibly, then how will happiness follow for the one who inflicts suffering? The rationale is that “progress,” that materialistic god so widely worshipped, will not come about unless force and power are used. But this argument does not take into account the fact that, sooner or later, what is won by aggression will surely be lost through conflict.

  Stoicism: Using the Timeless Philosophy of the Ancient Greek Stoa to Achieve Greater Composure, Balance, and Contentment in Everyday Life
   
  "With stoic calm": That's how people describe individuals who seemingly can't be thrown off balance by anything—and perhaps you wish that for yourself more often, too? In that case, you should take a closer look at the actual Stoa, and this book will show you how easily Stoicism can be integrated into your everyday life!
  Reacting to events without emotion and not letting joyful occasions, annoyances, or strokes of fate affect you: this Stoa stereotype seems impossible and hardly desirable—but wouldn't a bit more control over your inner life be nice? Then a modern Stoicism approach is your royal road, because the fundamental idea of its founder Zeno is more relevant today than ever: leading a good life in which your internal and external worlds are in harmonious alignment. To achieve this, one must become master of their emotions and passions—and fortunately, with a little patience, it's quite simple to learn. In this book, you will first familiarize yourself with the theoretical foundations of Stoicism before discovering how to put them into practice. By working through a variety of exercises, tasks, and challenges, you will apply what you've learned and gradually develop the Stoa mindset. Prior knowledge or experience? Not required! Thanks to straightforward explanations and immediately applicable techniques, even newcomers can start effortlessly and achieve impressive results in no time.
  At a Glance: Dive into the origins, central teachings, and fundamental assumptions of Stoicism and learn the 5 steps to a Stoic mindset.
  Express Exercises: With simple, immediate strategies on topics such as gratitude, acceptance, or self-reflection, you will internalize the Stoa concept step by step.
  Train Your Virtues: Through advanced exercises on adaptability, self-control, reason, and more, you'll deepen your abilities and perfect the core Stoic virtues.
  The Ultimate Discipline: Find out how to apply your newly acquired skills in situations involving relationships, career development, or everyday challenges, and benefit from the Stoa in a comprehensive way.
  This book opens the door to a whole new level of balance and satisfaction, providing you with valuable tools for a more relaxed life. With the 28-day challenge in the bonus section, you can dive into the subject matter even faster and positively influence your mindset in no time.
  So, what are you waiting for? Click now on "Buy Now with 1-Click" and look forward to discovering the Stoic within you!

  The Māori and the Pākehā - A...

  The history of New Zealand is deeply shaped by the complex and evolving relationship between the Māori, the country’s Indigenous people, and the Pākehā, the European settlers who arrived in the 18th and 19th centuries. This history is one of resilience, conflict, adaptation, and, ultimately, an ongoing quest for reconciliation. Understanding this shared past is essential to appreciating modern New Zealand’s identity and the challenges that continue to shape its future. 
  The Māori, skilled navigators and settlers from Polynesia, developed a rich and sophisticated culture long before the arrival of Europeans. Their societal structures, traditions, and connection to the land formed the foundation of a thriving civilization. When Pākehā explorers and settlers arrived, they brought not only new technologies and trade but also new challenges. The introduction of muskets, Christianity, and foreign diseases altered the balance of power and drastically reshaped Māori society. 
  One of the most defining moments in New Zealand’s history was the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840. This agreement, meant to establish a partnership between Māori and the British Crown, instead became a source of lasting controversy due to differences in interpretation and breaches of its promises. In the decades that followed, land disputes, armed conflicts, and government policies led to the large-scale alienation of Māori land, significantly impacting Māori communities and their way of life.
