Summary

"Nationalism" offers a comprehensive exploration of one of the most influential forces shaping modern politics and society. This insightful book examines the origins, impact, and future of nationalist ideologies, tracing their evolution from the French Revolution to the present day. The author presents a balanced view, acknowledging both the unifying potential of nationalism in nation-building and its divisive role in international conflicts.

 
The book is structured in three parts:1. An introduction to nationalism's historical development2. Case studies from various regions3. A discussion on nationalism's future in the face of globalization

 
It draws on a wide range of evidence, including historical documents and sociological studies, to support its arguments. One intriguing insight is the exploration of how nationalist sentiments can foster social cohesion while simultaneously fueling conflict and xenophobia.

 
What sets this book apart is its interdisciplinary approach, connecting nationalism to fields such as psychology, economics, and anthropology. By combining scholarly rigor with accessible prose, "Nationalism" provides readers with a nuanced understanding of this complex phenomenon, equipping them to engage critically with one of the most pressing issues of our time.

    Embody - Feel Heal and Transform...

    A new paradigm for embodied healing in a unique, experiential, therapeutic process in which expressive movement, guided imagery, ritual, music, and creative expression work together. 
      
    In Embody, Toni Bergins, the founder and creator of JourneyDance, an internationally renowned dance movement program, shares with readers a powerful way to address trauma mindfully so people can confront it, heal, and grow to love themselves unconditionally, just as they are. Embody is a dynamic, conscious practice that can help people release what no longer serves them and shows them how to stop stuffing/numbing the pain and start feeling, stop over-thinking/limiting, and get moving! 
      
    Embodiment is the new buzzword in personal transformation, but, most often, it is connected to static practices like breathwork and meditation. For Toni Bergins, embodiment is best achieved through active movement, and has created a practice where people literally get out of their heads and into their bodies! Her program is a trauma-informed one that offers a new promise: leading readers through deep, personal work but making it feel like play. In this book, she turns the heaviness of processing pain and past trauma into an expressive art aligned with the most recent research. Specifically, trauma expert Bessel van der Kolk, writes in his bestselling The Body Keeps the Score, “In order to overcome trauma, people need to feel safe enough to open their hearts and minds to others and become engaged with new possibilities. This can be done if trauma survivors are helped to confront and confess the reality of what has happened and are helped to feel safe again. In many cultures this involves communal rhythmical activities, such as dancing …” And that is Toni Bergins’ mission and method: to help readers move into a new story for their lives. 
      
    Embody features Toni’s prescription for a comprehensive healing journey, comprised of five core elements: 
      
    • Music, to open the doorways of impulse, imagination, creativity and healing to change mood and awareness; 
      
    • Movement, to enhance presence and confidence, and release old patterns and traumas; 
      
    • Mystical Inquiry, where imagery and creative visualization exercises are used to guide readers into an alchemic and shamanic state to investigate past hurts, and learn to trust their instincts; 
      
    • Prayers and Invocations, to raise energetic vibrations to a positive place with powerful affirmations; and 
      
    • Journaling, with writing prompts to process inner self-awareness learned on the dance floor or through any of the other Embody elements. 
      
    This enhanced audiobook features original music by the author and includes a supplemental PDF.

  • Why Buddhist Practice? Why Psychotherapy? - cover

    Why Buddhist Practice? Why...

    Ph.D. Pilar Jennings

    Jennings is both a Buddhist practitioner and a psychologist. Here she talks about when it’s appropriate to bring our psychological struggles to our Buddhist teacher and when it is appropriate to bring them to a therapist. 
    In general, Jennings says the differences between them are: “When you are working with a therapist or an analyst, there is a sense of very personal explorations. The lens is to go in close and look at the particularities of the way a patient has gone through their life with very particular parents, family system, and culture, etc. Buddhist teachers tend to zoom out, and explore suffering from a more universal lens. So, when their Western students come to them with particular personal problems, they’ll tend to respond from this universal perspective that these are all manifestations of the same tendencies we all have.” 
    She discusses how each has much to give and addresses the value of having a spiritual community where you can look for support and have conversations, as contrasted to the psycho-analytic process where it is a one-on-one and the support comes from a single individual in the form of the therapist.

    AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 
    ""Great playwright and filmmaker, DAVID MAMET, just wrote an incredible new book, The Disenlightenment, Politics, Horror, and Entertainment. David is a special man and talent. Get his book, NOW!"" — President Donald Trump 
    One of America's greatest living literary legends invites you think for yourself in this compelling narrative of manipulation, power, and the human condition. 
    ""Government, like Circe, turns men into swine,"" David Mamet writes in his latest political tour de force. Prepare to be challenged, enlightened, and entertained by The Disenlightenment as Mamet dissects the modern world with enthusiasm, wisdom, and lots of references to movies about the mafia. 
    Once a stalwart of liberal thought, Mamet now turns his penetrating gaze on the cultural milieu that nurtured his artistic growth, revealing how America's elites have twisted our institutions into tools of manipulation. With his one-of-a-kind wit, he exposes the intricate dance between power and myth, unmasking how the elites manipulate media and culture to maintain control. 
    The Disenlightenment fearlessly tackles topics from war to love, success to death, offering a fresh perspective on the human condition. His observations, ranging from the carnival-like nature of politics to the power of language, reflect a society where traditional values are under siege. 
    This book is an opportunity to engage with one of the most provocative and insightful writers of the modern era. Whether you're a long-time Mamet aficionado or new to his work, The Disenlightenment promises to challenge your perceptions, stimulate your mind, and perhaps change how you view the world.
