  Emotions are a gift from God—yes, even the "bad" ones.
  Anxiety can keep us up at night. Anger can cause us to fly off the handle. Sadness can drain us of energy. Shame can isolate us. Emotions like these are powerful. They can tax our relationships and distress our souls. No amount of sheer willpower or good intentions are sufficient to overcome them.
  But God has a good purpose for these core emotions he created. By integrating biblical truth, evidence-based insights from psychology, and spiritual practices, we can move from being mastered by these emotions to living in emotional maturity. Psychologist Kevin Chapman draws on his therapeutic expertise to invite us into a deeper understanding of our own thinking patterns, emotional triggers, and avoidance behaviors—all viewed through the lens of scriptural truth and God's power to change lives.
  In Mastering Our Emotions you'll find
  
  - exercises
  - worksheets
  - Scripture readings, and
  - reflection prompts
  to help you work through challenges and develop new skills.
  Rather than simply reacting to negative emotions in unhealthy ways, with God's help you can experience emotional transformation.

  Over the past five years, the Indo-Pacific region's importance for Europe has grown significantly. However, the launch of the EU Strategy for cooperation in the Indo-Pacific in September 2021 and its subsequent implementation have been affected by growing polarisation between the US and China, and by a fast-changing scenario caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This Report examines the state and perspectives of the EU's Indo-Pacific strategy, 18 months after its launch. Are there avenues for cooperation with regional military initiatives, such as the QUAD? How is the economic landscape changing, in particular after the start of negotiations for the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity (IPEF)? What are the main strategies of Indo-Pacific countries for the green transition? And how do the US, China, and ASEAN countries view and act in the Indo-Pacific region?

  Invisible Intelligence - Why...

  In Invisible Intelligence, educationalist, filmmaker and best-selling author Welby Ings considers how schools measure intelligence and shows how narrow definitions of literacy and numeracy can lead to bright students being described as ‘behind’ and positioned as problems, when they are not. Ings mixes poignant, humorous and insightful storytelling with current research to explore the ways that some children’s intelligent approaches to problem-solving are dismissed or ignored, with devastating consequences for individuals and society. Yet Invisible Intelligence offers hope. Written with wisdom, experience and compassion, it is the kind of book that ‘puts an arm around the shoulders’ of those who love and work with kids whose intelligence is not recognised because they don’t learn the same way as other children. Pragmatic, wise and helpful, Invisible Intelligence shows what we can do better in education, and why it’s so important that we do.

  • 0

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Understand why humans consistently obey authority, conform to groups, and participate in collective actions they would individually reject as wrong. This disturbing audiobook examines the psychological research on obedience from Milgram experiments to Stanford Prison studies, revealing uncomfortable truths about human nature that remain relevant today. Learn why ordinary people become capable of extraordinary cruelty when authority commands or group pressure permits, and why you are not as immune as you believe. The narrator explores the evolutionary origins of obedience tendencies, the social conditions that activate conformity, and the surprisingly small steps that lead from compliance to complicity. Discover how totalitarian regimes exploit obedience psychology and why democratic societies remain vulnerable to authoritarian manipulation through identical mechanisms. Understand the situational factors that predict obedience versus resistance and what distinguishes the rare individuals who maintain independence under pressure. This audiobook challenges comforting beliefs that modern education and awareness protect against mass manipulation while presenting evidence that obedience tendencies remain fully operational. Learn practical strategies for strengthening resistance to illegitimate authority and recognizing when you are being manipulated toward conformity. Essential listening for citizens concerned about authoritarianism, professionals in positions of authority, and anyone seeking honest understanding of how mass compliance with harmful directives actually occurs.
