At present, activated charcoal has taken the spotlight and can be found in various beauty products, health supplements, and even food items.

  Nothing is really real, even if it is. 
  Everything we do is self-serving, even nice/kind things. 
  There is no objective right or wrong and anyone telling you otherwise is either a fool or lying.  
  All communications at their core are manipulations, and therefore, every time we communicate with another person, verbal or non-verbal, we are manipulating them. 
  Oh yeah, and life is fucked.

  From the president of Wesleyan University, an illuminating history of the student, spanning from antiquity to Zoom 
   
  In this sweeping book, Michael S. Roth narrates a vivid and dynamic history of students, exploring some of the principal models for learning that have developed in very different contexts, from the sixth century BCE to the present. 
   
  Beginning with the followers of Confucius, Socrates, and Jesus and moving to medieval apprentices, students at Enlightenment centers of learning, and learners enrolled in twenty-first-century universities, he explores how students have been followers, interlocutors, disciples, rebels, and children becoming adults. There are many ways to be a student, Roth argues, but at their core is developing the capacity to think for oneself by learning from others, and thereby finding freedom. 
   
  In an age of machine learning, this book celebrates the student who develops more than mastery, cultivating curiosity, judgment, creativity, and an ability to keep learning beyond formal schooling. Roth shows how the student throughout history has been someone who interacts dynamically with the world, absorbing its lessons and creatively responding to them.

  Seasons of Sobriety was originally written as a therapeutic outlet during a period filled 
  with darkness. As time went on, however, the writing evolved into something more 
  enlightened. The purpose of this book, which begins with the journey toward addiction 
  and ends with a sober-curious mindset, is to offer encouragement and inspiration, as 
  well as to illustrate through poetry and prose that a powerful potential exists within every 
  person, ready to be awakened. The book is divided into four chapters that represent 
  the seasons of the year (winter, spring, summer, and autumn) because each season 
  represents a different phase of the journey: impulsivity, healing, abundance, and 
  renewal. As you travel through the seasons, you feel the impact of the poetry as it 
  relates to the natural world. The book will start with the darkness of winter but keep 
  reading to find the brilliant colors in autumn. If you are trapped in the dark, the poems in 
  this book will offer tools and thought-provoking ideas to help you find the light.
