Sinopse

Gratitude Journaling: Cultivating Mental Well-Being Through Daily Reflection reveals how a simple daily practice can reshape your brain and emotional health. Rooted in psychology and neuroscience, the book explores how structured gratitude exercises boost mental resilience, reduce anxiety, and strengthen relationships. Central to its thesis is neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to rewire itself through repeated positive focus. By journaling consistently, readers train their minds to act as a "cognitive filter," prioritizing constructive narratives over negativity. Supported by research, the text cites striking findings: regular practice correlates with a 10-15% rise in life satisfaction and measurable drops in stress-related brain activity.

Blending science with practicality, the book progresses from debunking myths (like confusing gratitude with toxic positivity) to offering adaptable journaling frameworks. Early chapters trace gratitude’s philosophical roots, while later sections link it to modern benefits like improved sleep and workplace harmony. Unique features include trauma-informed strategies for maintaining practice during crises and self-assessment tools for personalization. Unlike generic self-help guides, it grounds advice in interdisciplinary evidence—fMRI studies, behavioral economics, and cross-cultural data—without prescribing rigid rules. The conversational tone and real-world examples, like using journaling to reframe setbacks, make complex concepts accessible. By merging academic rigor with actionable steps, this book stands as a pragmatic toolkit for anyone seeking lasting emotional balance through science-backed reflection.

Slaughter in Ukraine: 1941...

Daniel Wrinn

" Putin is making the same mistakes that doomed Hitler when he invaded the Soviet Union." – Reviewer 
A Gripping and Riveting Short History of Operation Barbarossa 
In just four weeks in the summer of 1941, the German Wehrmacht wrought unprecedented destruction on four Soviet armies. They conquered central Ukraine, killing or capturing three-quarters of a million men. 
This is an informative and insightful military history of the Battles of Kyiv and Leningrad as well as Hitler's march on Moscow. This was one of the largest and most decisive battles of World War II and, for Hitler and Stalin, a battle of crucial importance. Daniel Wrinn charts the battle's dramatic course and aftermath, uncovering the irreplaceable losses suffered by Germany's "panzer groups" despite their battlefield gains, and the implications of these losses for the German war effort.

The Wisdom of the Ancients

Francis Bacon

Bacon published this interesting little work in 1609. It contains thirty-one fables abounding with a union of deep thought and poetic beauty. In most fables he explains the common but erroneous supposition that knowledge and the conformity of the will, knowing and acting, are convertible terms.

Theatre of the Unimpressed - In...

Jordan Tannahill

How dull plays are killing theatre and what we can do about it.

Had I become disenchanted with the form I had once fallen so madly in love with as a pubescent, pimple-faced suburban homo with braces? Maybe theatre was like an all-consuming high school infatuation that now, ten years later, I saw as the closeted balding guy with a beer gut he’d become. There were of course those rare moments of transcendencethat kept me coming back. But why did they come so few and far between?

A lot of plays are dull. And one dull play, it seems, can turn us off theatre for good. Playwright and theatre director Jordan Tannahill takes in the spectrum of English-language drama – from the flashiest of Broadway spectacles to productions mounted in scrappy storefront theatres – to consider where lifeless plays come from and why they persist. Having travelled the globe talking to theatre artists, critics, passionate patrons and the theatrically disillusioned, Tannahill addresses what he considers the culture of ‘risk aversion’ paralyzing the form.

Theatre of the Unimpressed is Tannahill’s wry and revelatory personal reckoning with the discipline he’s dedicated his life to, and a roadmap for a vital twenty-first-century theatre – one that apprehends the value of ‘liveness’ in our mediated age and the necessity for artistic risk and its attendant failures. In considering dramaturgy, programming and alternative models for producing, Tannahill aims to turn theatre from an obligation to a destination.

History of Denmark - A...

Captivating History

For centuries, Denmark "punched above its weight" and was a major player on the European stage. Many know about the Danish Vikings and their voyages of conquest and discovery, but Denmark is more than just those medieval raiders and traders, even though interest in their adventures is at an all-time high today.
Denmark became the first Scandinavian country to convert to Christianity, though this was likely as much to protect themselves from Christian kingdoms to the south and to increase their trade with Christian nations than any love for Christian beliefs.
Denmark has been at peace since WWII, but its position between the North and Baltic Seas makes it an important part of NATO, allowing it to once more "punch above its weight." But despite its location, Denmark has managed to not only remain at peace but is today ranked as one of the happiest nations on Earth.
You will discover many astounding facts about Denmark's history in this book. Discover the answer to fascinating questions like the following:

- Does Denmark really appear in the top three of the world's "happiest" countries?
- Were the Danish Vikings only interested in conquest? And what were their relations like with Europe before the Viking Age?
- Who was Cnut the Great, and why was he so important in the history of countries like England, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden?
- Who the current Danish royal family is descended from? (Hint: it is not a Dane!)
- How and when did Denmark establish the wide-ranging social safety net it is so well-known for today?
- What role did Germany play in Denmark losing its status as an offensive military power? What was life like for Danish Jews during WWII?  
You'll find these answers and many more in Captivating History's History of Denmark!
