Maybe this was all for nothing …Stronger Braver Wiser is fundamentally a story of triumph; a real-life David vs Goliath tale of a woman finding her own justice in a world that sought to rob her of it.

The Struggle for Your Mind: Conscious Evolution and the Battle to Control How We Think
by Kingsley L. DennisA revolutionary call to overthrow society’s mental controls and expand consciousness for the greater good of humanity • Explores the tactics used to control consciousness, such as misinformation, debt systems, fear conditioning, and the distraction of entertainment and technology • Reveals the emerging mechanisms for neurogenetic evolution within our brains that will enable us to throw off the shackles of mental control • Explains how to break through the barriers inhibiting conscious evolution and restore our connection with Nature and the Divine Within society there exists a silent war. The battlefield is our everyday lives: our education, our work, our leisure, our emotional and spiritual well-being, and our thinking and perceptions. Our very sense of “reality” is deliberately engineered to work against conscious evolution and preserve social norms. In short, we are all part of a war of consciousness. And the opportunity is at hand for us to win. Assessing the ways modern societies limit consciousness and keep humanity obedient and distracted from their inner lives, Kingsley Dennis presents an eye-opening investigation of the way our minds have been programmed to preserve incumbent power structures and their rules. He exposes the tactics employed for thousands of years by the elite to control our minds, including misinformation and propaganda, debt systems, consumerism, religious doctrine, scientific authority, economic “uncertainties,” fear of terrorist attacks and armageddon, distraction through entertainment and technology, as well as the false belief that we are separate from Nature and the Divine. Despite these obstacles, humanity is awakening to culture’s imposed limits on perception through an accelerating rise in collective empathy and awareness. Exploring the biology of consciousness, Dennis reveals the emerging mechanisms for neurogenetic evolution within the brains of gifted individuals, psychics, and visionaries and the coming increases in solar and magnetic energies that will activate them within all of us. Explaining how we can free up mental and emotional energy to break through the barriers inhibiting conscious evolution, he shows that by taking back our minds and changing the way we think, we can restore our connection with Nature and the Divine and lead humanity into a new age of harmony and awareness.
Strung Out: One Last Hit and Other Lies That Nearly Killed Me
by Erin Khar“This vital memoir will change how we look at the opioid crisis and how the media talks about it. A deeply moving and emotional read, STRUNG OUT challenges our preconceived ideas of what addiction looks like.”—Stephanie Land, New York Times bestselling author of MaidIn this deeply personal and illuminating memoir about her fifteen-year struggle with heroin, Khar sheds profound light on the opioid crisis and gives a voice to the over two million people in America currently battling with this addiction.Growing up in LA, Erin Khar hid behind a picture-perfect childhood filled with excellent grades, a popular group of friends and horseback riding. After first experimenting with her grandmother’s expired painkillers, Khar started using heroin when she was thirteen. The drug allowed her to escape from pressures to be perfect and suppress all the heavy feelings she couldn’t understand.This fiercely honest memoir explores how heroin shaped every aspect of her life for the next fifteen years and details the various lies she told herself, and others, about her drug use. With enormous heart and wisdom, she shows how the shame and stigma surrounding addiction, which fuels denial and deceit, is so often what keeps addicts from getting help. There is no one path to recovery, and for Khar, it was in motherhood that she found the inner strength and self-forgiveness to quit heroin and fight for her life.Strung Out is a life-affirming story of resilience while also a gripping investigation into the psychology of addiction and why people turn to opioids in the first place.

Studies in Emotion and Social Interaction: From Self to Social Relationships
by Van Zomeren MartijnWhat is it that moves and motivates us in our lives? Martijn van Zomeren proposes social relationships are at the essence of this key question and, in a fascinating investigation into human motivation, he develops a novel and integrative psychological theory termed 'selvations theory'. The theory suggests that we are essentially relational beings that seek to regulate relationships in response to felt changes in our network of relationships (selvations). However, we need to do this in culturally appropriate ways and this is where our culturally construed self comes to be of use. From Self to Social Relationships constitutes a powerful argument about human essence, integrating major theories in and around psychology, which has strong implications for the study and practice of social motivation.

Study Hacks: Study Hacks for Better Grades
by Miguel M. Macieira Mike BrandishMany books and articles were written to explain the simplest and most effective ways to study. The fact that many resources were already spent in this process, shows that studying can be hard work. However, it doesn't need to be. Despite the available methods nowadays not being useful for everyone, it is always possible to count with a trial and error method to identify ways that ease our journey towards knowledge and learning. The methods presented here don´t substitute the effort needed to achieve higher grades and be approved in tests and contests, but each useful idea available to achieve those goals is welcome since the process of learning is frequently tiresome. In this book, we compiled in the first part the basic orientations for students to develop better and faster in the tasks they perform; and, in the second part, we bring specific hints, such as tips to put in practice "emergency plans" for exams. May the reader choose which method he sees fit, put in practice the hints and see which ones work for you.

Stuff: Compulsive Hoarding and the Meaning of Things
by Randy O. Frost Gail SteketeeThe New York Times bestseller. &“Gripping . . . By turns fascinating and heartbreaking . . . Stuff invites readers to reevaluate their desire for things.&”—Boston Globe &“Amazing . . . utterly engrossing . . . Read it.&”—The Washington Post Book World What possesses someone to save every scrap of paper that&’s ever come into his home? What compulsions drive a person to sacrifice her marriage or career for an accumulation of seemingly useless things? Randy Frost and Gail Steketee were the first to study hoarding when they began their work a decade ago. They didn&’t expect that they would end up treating hundreds of patients and fielding thousands of calls from the families of hoarders. Their vivid case studies (reminiscent of Oliver Sacks) in Stuff show how you can identify a hoarder—piles on sofas and beds that make the furniture useless, houses that can be navigated only by following small paths called goat trails, vast piles of paper that the hoarders &“churn&” but never discard, even collections of animals and garbage—and illuminate the pull that possessions exert over all of us. Whether we&’re savers, collectors, or compulsive cleaners, very few of us are in fact free of the impulses that drive hoarders to extremes. &“Authoritative, haunting, and mysterious. It is also intensely, not to say compulsively readable.&”—Tracy Kidder, Pulitzer Prize-winning author &“Fascinating . . . a good mix of cultural and psychological theories on hoarding.&”—Newsweek &“Pioneering researchers offer a superb overview of a complex disorder that interferes with the lives of more than six-million Americans . . . An absorbing, gripping, important report.&”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
