  Quit Masturbation Hypnosis -...

  You have probably never said it out loud to another human being. 
  Not to a friend. Not to a partner. Not even fully to yourself. 
  It is the kind of struggle most men carry alone. The kind that hides itself well. It does not destroy your life in dramatic ways. It does not show up on your bank statements. It does not leave evidence that anyone else can see. 
  What it does is quieter. It drains you. A little, every day. For years. 
  It steals your edge. Your drive. Your focus. Your sense that you are a man who is moving forward in life rather than running in circles. 
  And the strangest part is that you cannot fully explain to yourself why you keep doing it. 
  If any of that lands for you, hear me clearly. 
  You are not strange. You are not broken. You are not the only one. 
  This is one of the most universal struggles a man can have, and one of the most rarely discussed. Willpower has not worked because willpower works on the conscious mind. The pattern lives deeper. The hand moves before your thinking mind has even had a chance to participate. 
  That is not a moral failing. That is years of repetition written into your nervous system. And it can be rewired through the same channel that programmed it in the first place. 
  This program is the path back. 
  For the next four hours, you will not be lectured. You will not be shamed. You will be guided gently into the deeply relaxed state where your subconscious opens. And in that state, carefully crafted affirmations will begin to do quiet work beneath your awareness. 
  The energy you have been spending will start to return to you. Your focus will sharpen. Your drive will rise. The pull will grow quieter, day by day, until one morning you will realize it is no longer there in the way it used to be. 
  You will reclaim hours you did not know you were losing. 
  The man you are becoming is who you always were, underneath the years of pattern. He has been waiting. 
  Press play. Take a breath. Welcome home.

  Across the Board - How Games...

  Tabletop games are ordinary and extraordinary. Ordinary because they're everywhere: played in bars and cafés, churches and casinos, through sunless winters in polar research stations and in the sweltering summer heat of Tanzanian villages and streamed live over Twitch to millions of viewers. They fill the activity pages of children's magazines and the halls of senior centers. They appear as smartphone apps and in luxury editions and as game boards scratched into the dirt. 
   
   
   
  And they're extraordinary for precisely the same reason: they're everywhere, in every civilization, everywhere in the world across all recorded human history. 
   
   
   
  In Across the Board, tabletop game aficionado Tim Clare takes us through that history and across those civilizations. We learn how the same games emerge over and over and how they've evolved and spread, as well as about the contemporary culture of gaming: with rousing enthusiasm, Tim explores games as familiar to us as Monopoly or chess, as niche as Magic: The Gathering, and as unexpected as the Japanese poetry-matching card game karuta. We learn about games as recreation and as ritual, and above all, we see how they can be a way for us to come together—because of all the things that make us human, there's nothing quite so set up for connection as sharing a round of cards or the roll of a d20.

  Myths of China and Japan -...

  Donald A. Mackenzie

  The myths of China and Japan set beside those of India, Babylon and Europe: the dragon kings, the sun goddess, the eight immortals, the culture heroes and the flood. Donald Mackenzie wrote a shelf of mythology volumes in the 1920s and was interested chiefly in the borrowings between them. His diffusionist theory is out of favour; the retellings are clear and the comparisons still provoke. Twenty-eight plates of Chinese and Japanese painting, from Xia Gui and Ni Zan to Tani Bunchō, carry the landscapes, figures and flowers that the old stories grew from.

  When the War Never Ends - The...

  Veterans with PTSD speak: “Anyone wanting to understand what it is to have a ‘flashback’ will learn more from these firsthand accounts than from any textbook.” ―The British Journal of Psychiatry   The chances of service members developing PTSD after military-related traumas is, according to a U.S. study, at least thirty percent. The effects can be devastating, ranging from distressing flashbacks to nightmares, sleep disorders, physical symptoms, irritability, aggressions, and memory and concentration problems. These symptoms often cause severe impairment in all areas of life and may lead to despair and hopelessness. PTSD is neither a localized nor a temporary problem.    Here, Leah Wizelman relates the true stories of service members from different service branches and ranks from the United States, Canada, Australia, and Germany, who were participants in various wars (Vietnam, Gulf War, Iraq, Afghanistan, Grenada) and peace missions (Kosovo, Bosnia, Croatia, Cambodia, Somalia, Cyprus, Haiti). They talk openly about their lives after trauma and share their fates with the reader. Spouses of affected military members also tell their stories. They talk about the challenges loved ones face when living with a partner with PTSD, how it affects their children, and how they manage to cope.    As these stories show all too vividly, military-related PTSD has not been dealt with effectively or with enough empathy or sympathy. Those affected by PTSD will realize that they are not alone in their suffering—and others will gain insight into the realities of this challenging disorder.   “I highly recommend this volume to all who seek to understand combat-related PTSD.” —Kathryn M. Magruder, MPH., PhD, Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, Military Science Division, Medical University of South Carolina

  Much has been written about iconic Black militant Huey P. Newton and the Black Panther Party he co-founded. Yet until now, there has never been a comprehensive, intimate look at the religious, tribal family that fled the South in the Great Migration and raised him in Oakland, California as the youngest of seven siblings. This book sheds light on the Newtons' ancestry and interrelationships that helped shape Huey P. Newton's thinking and life trajectory.

The reading of this volume accompanies the expedition to Mexico, the indigenous alliances, the fall of Tenochtitlán, and the construction of the viceregal system, without forgetting the private life of the conqueror: his loves, ambitions, contradictions, and conflicts.
