    Exploring the Superpower of Empathy

    In this 2024 conversation with Justine Willis Toms, Dr. Orloff suggests that empathy is a bedrock of healing in difficult situations and needs to be a daily priority and become a habit, not just a fleeting desire. She also has cautions and advice for us: can we have too much empathy? How to work with those who, on the empathy spectrum, have an empathy deficient disorder such as narcissists? Empathy, she says, will lead us in expressing our most authentic, fierce, and compassionate self, and that we must have empathy for our survival personally, our happiness, our intimacy, our connections to others, and also for the earth and the world. She points out that studies have shown that acts of empathy can have positive effects on our immune response.  
    Judith Orloff, M.D. is a member of the UCLA Psychiatric Clinical Staff and specializes in treating empaths and sensitive people in her private practice. She offers Empathy Training Programs to businesses and organizations and teaches empathic tools to doctors, corporate teams, leaders, managers, customer service and trainers, as well as individuals. She has been called the “godmother of the empath movement." She is the author of:The Ecstasy of Surrender: 12 Surprising Ways Letting Go Can Empower Your Life (Harmony books 2014)Emotional Freedom: Liberate Yourself from Negative Emotions and Transform Your Life (Harmony Books 2009)The Empath's Survival Guide: Life Strategies for Sensitive People (Sounds True 2017)The Genius of Empathy: Practical Skills to Heal Your Sensitive Self, Your Relationships & the World (Sounds True 2024)

    This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
     
    This audiobook delves into the enigmatic world of the Illuminati and secret societies, unveiling their history and influence over global affairs. The Illuminati, real and fictional, are portrayed as elusive elites shaping our world. Their origin dates back to the late 1700s with the Bavarian Illuminati, founded by Adam Weishaupt and guided by the enigmatic 'Father of Illumination'. Since then, numerous groups have claimed Illuminati status, their links to Weishaupt's vision uncertain. These legends have fostered a culture of secrecy and fear, intertwining conspiracies of unimaginable power with Illuminati symbolism. Celebrities, musicians, and politicians have been implicated in this narrative, but does the Illuminati truly wield world control? 
     
    This audiobook investigates the historical ties between the Illuminati and secret societies and their impact on global events. We delve into Weishaupt's legacy and explore potentially nefarious activities within these organisations. The audiobook scrutinizes whether these groups possess the power to dominate the world and, if so, contemplates potential countermeasures. 
     
    Join us on this illuminating journey as we plunge into the shadowy realm of the Illuminati and secret societies that exert influence over our world.

  • Vandal Heaven - Reinterpreting Post-Roman North Africa - cover

    Vandal Heaven - Reinterpreting...

    A new study that challenges previous interpretations of post-Roman North Africa.
    
    North Africa was one of the richest parts of the Roman Empire, the agricultural powerhouse of the Mediterranean. It was also home to some of the emperor’s biggest imperial estates, and prosperous cities of all kinds. Its loss to the Vandals in the first half of the 5th century AD was the mortal blow which both precipitated the fall of the western empire, and set the eastern empire back for decades. Its reconquest then became an obsession with each new emperor in Constantinople. Time and again the eastern Romans failed in this goal, until Justinian I finally succeeded in the AD 530s. Although North Africa’s restoration to the world of Rome only lasted a short time, it has widely been regarded as a positive development.
    
    However, new research—published here for the first time—shows that post-Roman North Africa thrived under the Vandals. To them it was Vandal heaven, a place where they found a way as the new incumbent elite to live comfortably alongside the late Roman inhabitants, despite their different interpretations of Christianity. Together, the two cultures flourished.
    
    When the eastern Romans – now styled Byzantines – returned, they weren’t welcome. This is evidenced in the surviving built environments of this new period of North African history, namely chains of small forts along the frontier and interior, where the Byzantines used mounted troops to keep an unhappy local population under control.
    
    Dr Elliott not only presents a brand-new interpretation of post-Roman North Africa, but makes the case that the Arab Conquest was so successful in this region because the Byzantine overlords were so unpopular. Furthermore his argument explains how the region today came to be part of the Arab world, in contrast to the regions along the northern Mediterranean freeboard, which maintain their Roman-ness to this day.

    Coming Clean - The Rise of...

    What has gone wrong with the left—and what leftists must do if they want to change politics, ethics, and minds. 
     
     
     
    Leftists have long taught that people in the West must take responsibility for centuries of classism, racism, colonialism, patriarchy, and other gross injustices. Of course, right-wingers constantly ridicule this claim for its "wokeness." 
     
     
     
    In Coming Clean, Eric Heinzerejects the idea that we should be less woke. In fact, we need more wokeness, but of a new kind. Yes, we must teach about these bleak pasts, but we must also educate the public about the left's own support for regimes that damaged and destroyed millions of lives for over a century—Stalin in the Soviet Union, Mao Zedong in China, Pol Pot in Cambodia, or the Kim dynasty in North Korea. 
     
     
     
    Criticisms of Western wrongdoing are certainly important, yet Heinze explains that leftists have rarely engaged in the kinds of open and public self-scrutiny that they demand from others. Citing examples as different as the Ukraine war, LGBTQ+ people in Cuba, the concept of "hatred," and the problem of leftwing antisemitism, Heinze explains why and how the left must change its memory politics if it is to claim any ethical high ground.
