Story
How can I rewire my brain from anxiety? How can I rewire my brain to be positive? Scientists once thought that the brain was locked in place after puberty. But new technology shows that our brain continues to rewire itself and never stops changing as we age. We're gradually understanding that the adult brain is capable of physical change and rewiring in response to stimuli. But if you conceive of the brain as a colossally complex series of wires and computer connections, we're still basically babies with a Fisher-Paykel chisel, banging at the circuit board.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is not something that you try on yourself. It’s just not going to happen. You have to work with a trained therapist or counselor. While you do the heavy lifting as far as your personal beliefs and your responses to the outside world go, you need expert guidance. You need somebody who knows what they’re doing and who knows how to instruct you. They must have been around the block a few times so they know what to anticipate. When properly implemented, cognitive behavioral therapy enables you to reclaim your personal power over your life.

Do you want to discover practical ways of how stoicism can improve your life?
If your answer was yes, then keep reading because you’re about to find what you’re looking for.
The world we live in nowadays is so frantic and full of distractions. You’re not the only one feeling anxious and unable to focus on your personal life due to this fast-paced society.
The good news is the right change of perspective can offer you clarity and help you achieve the mental balance you need to live an efficient and successful life.
Stoicism, as a philosophy, can help you achieve just that.
In 2019, a study published in The Behavior Therapist, Vol. 42, No. 2, conducted by D. Robertson and T. Codd explored stoicism’s similarities to modern psychotherapy.
The findings show that the founders of modern psychotherapy, A. Ellis and A. Beck, acknowledged the main principles of REBT (rational emotive behavior therapy) and CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) were originally discovered and stated by the stoics.
Stoicism, as well as modern psychotherapy, aims to help you learn effective strategies you can apply to your unique life situations to deal with difficult situations such as loss, depression, anxiety, and helplessness.
Thankfully, this book holds essential knowledge to help you cope with difficult experiences, build emotional resilience, and achieve a happy meaningful life.
In this guide, you will discover:
- How to apply stoic principles and retain composure during difficult times, even if it’s losing people you love
- Effective tips on dealing with insults, grief, old age, and other distracting temptations that hold you down from becoming the better person you want to be
- Practical exercises to help you focus all your efforts on the things you can control without having a hard time letting go of your past
- Why it's essential to develop an eye for the bigger picture in life and how you can stop feeling lost even if you see no light at the end of the tunnel
- A fast and effective strategy to help you become a better human being that will instantly improve all your current relationships
- Simple mindfulness techniques you can implement to fully enjoy your present without becoming anxious about your past or future
- How a few simple healthy practices and devotions can restore your mental balance (This is vital if you're paralyzed by worry, right now.)
- One essential truth you don't want to believe, but should - this could give you the tools and clarity you need to let yourself be happy
- And so much more!
Your level of happiness in life depends mostly on your mental perception of your experiences. This is why learning healthy tips on how to cut through distractions and empty desires can help you not only become a better human being, but also a happier one.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Story
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Everyone would benefit from seeing further into the future, whether buying stocks, crafting policy, launching a new product, or simply planning the week's meals. Unfortunately, people tend to be terrible forecasters. As Wharton professor Philip Tetlock showed in a landmark 2005 study, even experts' predictions are only slightly better than chance. However, an important and underreported conclusion of that study was that some experts do have real foresight.

This is an easily digestible argument about what rights we have, what rights Republicans are trying to take away, and how to stop them. Mystal explains how to protect the rights of women and people of color instead of cowering to the absolutism of gun owners and bigots. He explains the legal way to stop everything from police brutality to political gerrymandering, just by changing a few judges and justices. He strips out all of the fancy jargon conservatives like to hide behind and lays bare the truth of their project to keep America forever tethered to its slaveholding past.

These ladies know what they want and take what they want by beating men at their own game. Utilizing the secrets exposed in this book, these women gain power, money, and status. Men call them gold diggers, women call them hos, but they call themselves winners. This is the book that society doesn't want you to listen to….

Story
In 1177 B.C., marauding groups known only as the "Sea Peoples" invaded Egypt. The pharaoh’s army and navy managed to defeat them, but the victory so weakened Egypt that it soon slid into decline, as did most of the surrounding civilizations. After centuries of brilliance, the civilized world of the Bronze Age came to an abrupt and cataclysmic end. Kingdoms fell like dominoes over the course of just a few decades. No more Minoans or Mycenaeans. No more Trojans, Hittites, or Babylonians.

Once you understand a concept and can apply it in your daily life, you may not practice it perfectly, but you can really see the benefit in striving to do so! The narration is really good as well. I am grateful when I discover a book like this.
