Sinopsis

Mindset Under Pressure explores how to transform stress from a paralyzing force into a tool for clarity and resilience, blending cognitive psychology with practical strategies. The book’s core premise challenges the myth that thriving under pressure is an innate gift, arguing instead that stress resilience is a trainable skill. Through three key principles—cognitive reframing, attentional control, and stress inoculation—it teaches readers to reinterpret challenges, maintain focus amid chaos, and build tolerance to escalating pressures. These concepts are grounded in interdisciplinary research, from neuroplasticity studies showing the brain’s adaptability to real-world examples like elite athletes and crisis negotiators.

The book distinguishes itself by merging scientific rigor with tactical exercises, avoiding oversimplified advice. It opens by demystifying the biology of stress, using analogies like comparing cognitive overload to a computer’s strained processor. Later chapters progress from theory to action, offering tools such as “stress blueprints” and scenario visualization. Unique ethical discussions, like balancing resilience training with workplace boundaries, add depth. Case studies—a surgeon managing operating room crises or a teacher navigating classroom conflicts—humanize the science, while fMRI data and military training examples underscore its evidence-based approach.

Written in conversational tone, Mindset Under Pressure caters to professionals, caregivers, and anyone facing high-stakes decisions. Its structured four-part framework moves from debunking stress myths to creating personalized resilience plans, emphasizing agency and incremental growth. By framing stress as a catalyst rather than a threat, the book equips readers to harness pressure as an opportunity for mastery.

Dictating the Agenda - The...

alexander cooley, Alexander...

Following the end of the Cold War, the world experienced a remarkable wave of democratization. Over the next two decades, numerous authoritarian regimes transitioned to democracies, and it seemed that authoritarianism as a political model was fading. But as recent events have shown, things have clearly changed. 
 
 
 
In Dictating the Agenda, authors Alexander Cooley and Alexander Dukalskis reveal how today's authoritarian states are actively countering liberal ideas and advocacy surrounding human rights and democracy across various global governance domains. The transformed global context has unlocked for authoritarian states the possibility to contend with Western liberal soft power in new, traditionally "non-political" ways. Cooley and Dukalskis ultimately advance a theory of authoritarian snapback, the process in which non-democratic states limit the transnational resonance of liberal ideas at home and advance anti-liberal norms and ideas into the global public sphere. 
 
 
 
Drawing from a range of evidence, this book doesn't just reveal the limits of the liberal influence taken for granted across the world. It offers a novel theory of how authoritarian governments figured out how to exploit and repurpose the same actors, tools, and norms that once exclusively promoted and sustained US-backed liberalism.

America's Legendary Frontier...

Editors Charles River

The Wild West has made legends out of many men, but it has forged a lasting legacy for the city of Tombstone, Arizona, a frontier boomtown that has come to symbolize everything about the Old West. In many ways, Tombstone fit all the stereotypes associated with that era in American history. A dusty place on the outskirts of civilization, Tombstone brought together miners, cowboys, lawmen, saloons, gambling, brothels, and everything in between, creating an environment that was always colorful and occasionally fatal. Those characteristics might not have distinguished Tombstone from other frontier outposts like Deadwood in the Dakotas, but some of the most famous legends of the West called Tombstone home for many years, most notably the Earp brothers and Doc Holliday. And ultimately, the relationships and rivalries forged by those men in Tombstone culminated in the legendary Gunfight at the O.K. Corral on October 26, 1881.
The mining town of Deadwood quickly sprung up as prospectors descended on the area, even though the federal government had ordered military troops to set up posts there to keep prospectors out. Men like Al Swearengen and Charlie Utter came to make fortunes one way or another, Calamity Jane amused and irritated the townspeople in equal measure, and the legendary Wild Bill Hickok was shot and killed in one of Deadwood’s saloons while holding the “Dead Man’s Hand” by “the coward McCall.”
By 1876, however, Dodge City had become a popular destination spot for cattle drives starting from as far south as Texas, earning itself the nickname “The Cowboy Capital of the World”. With that, the town also came to symbolize everything about the Old West. Dodge City brought together cowboys, lawmen, saloons, gambling, brothels, and everything in between, creating an environment that was always colorful and occasionally fatal. Since Dodge City was on the frontier, it took awhile for the law to catch up to it.

Benjamin Drew - The Refugee...

Vicent Cucarella Ramón

Benjamin Drew's "North-Side View of Slavery: The Refugee, or the Narratives of Fugitive Slaves in Canada" (1856) is a collection of his interviews with former slaves living in Canada who had escaped from the United States, and an invaluable example of the transnational abolitionist movement's political agenda. These edited oral accounts show how these runaways turned into African Canadians and reconfigured new meanings of Blackness in Canada, set out the foundations of a Black Canadian sense of attachment, and eventually helped to reshape North America by contributing to the birth of the Canadian nation-state.
