Book excerpt: In a world driven by ambition, success, and the relentless pursuit of happiness, we often find ourselves feeling like donkeys chasing a carrot dangled in front of our noses. This metaphor captures the essence of our daily lives, as we strive to attain the promises and rewards that society lays before us. We become ensnared in a cycle of craving, forever reaching for that elusive carrot, hoping it will bring us fulfillment and contentment. This book, "Chasing Carrots: Navigating the Allure and Pressure of Societal Expectations," is an exploration of the myriad ways in which society shapes our desires, aspirations, and behaviors. It delves into the subtle and not-so-subtle forces that drive us to pursue certain goals, often at the expense of our authentic selves. We live in a world where consumerism, social media validation, and the fear of missing out have become ubiquitous. The pressure to conform to cultural norms, achieve ever-higher levels of education, and climb the corporate ladder can be overwhelming. We are bombarded with messages that tell us happiness lies in material possessions, external validation, and the constant pursuit of success. But is this really the path to fulfillment? Are we truly content when we're constantly striving for more, when we're forever chasing that next carrot, whether it's a promotion, a new gadget, or a fleeting moment of social media fame? In the pages that follow, we will embark on a journey to uncover the reasons why society exerts such a powerful influence over our lives. We will examine the subtle ways in which societal expectations shape our thoughts, decisions, and actions. Through stories, research, and reflection, we will seek to understand the impact of these forces on our well-being and sense of self. Chasing Carrots" is not a book that offers quick fixes or easy answers. Instead, it invites you to question the narratives that surround us and encourages you to find your own path to a more authentic and meaningful life. It is a call to awareness, a reminder that we have the power to choose our own values, desires, and aspirations. As we embark on this journey together, let us remember that the pursuit of happiness should not be reduced to a relentless chase after an ever-receding carrot. It should be a quest for a life that reflects our deepest values, fosters genuine connections, and nourishes our inner selves. May this book serve as a guide, a source of reflection, and a catalyst for change as we navigate the complexities of modern society and strive to live lives that are truly our own. With curiosity and compassion, Charles Nehme

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year, Americans spend more than $10 billion on self-help products. Psychologist and philosophers agree, however, that self-help makes inexcusable mistakes and is incapable of creating happiness, success, and fulfillment. Stop Chasing Carrots communicates these mistakes in an easily understandable language and develops a philosophy of life that can create better results. Stop Chasing Carrots is the first book that creates a philosophy of life based on scientific evidence. Replacing self-help materialism, Eastern spiritualism/minimalism, and insightful but too complex psychological studies with an accessible, balanced, and realistic concept, Chasing Carrots enables its readers to lead a life based on proven ideas, not on wishful thinking.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the beginning of time, there has been a struggle between men and women in their relationships and marriages. The differences between men and women, in particularly with regard to how they both act, think, and behave, is obvious to anyone. Unfortunately, in our modern world, circumstances have evolved to a point where most men, and especially for men of any wealth, power, or fame, are being unjustly vilified by women of all ages and are being blamed for every injustice that any woman has either actually endured or believes in her own mind that she has suffered. In the justice system in the United States of America, an accused individual is supposed to be considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. That is no longer the case. Men who are accused by any woman of some impropriety toward them are instantly assumed to be guilty, and their reputations, careers, financial well-being, marriages, and public status are being destroyed on a daily basis. Any accusation against any man, no matter how long ago their transgressions supposedly took place, are grounds for dragging him through the media and press in order to destroy him. The definitions of transgressions by men toward women have also been redefined by women in our society so that the mere act of speaking to any woman may now be declared a criminal act. Over the last several years, there has been the evolution of the Me Too movement by women which is allegedly intended to "empower" women to "speak out against" men who have "done them wrong" at any point in time that they can remember. In recent times, men of power and fame in our country have been accused of all sorts of evil and criminal actions against "unsuspecting and innocent" women of all ages. This book is intended for the men of the world, especially to those living in the United States, to be made aware of what they are risking in their personal and professional lives when dealing with any woman. Men need to be aware that relationships with women in our modern society are fraught with personal risk, pitfalls, and potential disaster, including the loss of their freedom. All men, from the teenage years to those of middle and old age, need to be aware of what can easily happen to them at the hands of the women that they let into their lives. Men need to understand how women can easily manipulate them and unjustly accuse them of all sorts of things. Men need to understand that any women whom they choose to become involved with are not the cute, little, innocent and naive "flowers" that they would like to believe that they are. All women become involved with men to achieve their own agenda. The "fairy tale" of living happily ever after with any woman is a "man trap."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all have reasons for doing the things we do. We all have our own realities. It is my blessing to have more than one. — Hilary Jamron When Hilary died, part of her soul refused to come back. That part of her higher self chose to remain where peace and simplicity reign. From that time forward, life would reveal itself in front of her, and she would simply step into her future. Decisions would be made without fear or hesitation by an unconscious multidimensional consensus, and she would survive. She would travel through death and paralysis without self-pity or delay. The truth is that each of us is as limitless as space and time, having no boundaries, beginnings, or endings. Limits are illusions, delusions, like pebbles that we casually kick out of our way as we move forward. Illness, pain, heartbreak, and life circumstances are all pebbles. There's no point in looking back when we've already kicked our earthly problems off to the side of the road. The kicking is a gentle toss of the foot done in perfect synchronicity to the drumbeat of lessons learned. After that, the only direction is forward.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Awakening From The American Dream… From Crisis To Consciousness… is an expose’ of the American Dream as illusory enculturation. It is a call to awakening to true reality in which happiness is not something to be pursued, but rather innately experienced as one’s birthright. The book invites readers to wake up from the American Dream, rather than trying to make it work or creating a new dream. A dream is a dream… it can never be reality. Part One focuses on the initial stages of awakening, beginning to question Dream beliefs, like the pursuit of happiness (if you’re chasing it you don’t have it!). Part Two uses the Socratic Method to question popular myths about life in America, relative to twelve specific areas of life (like the economy, health, marriage, religion, etc.). Readers are invited to challenge their own convictions and open to new possibilities. Part Three is about what it is like to live wide-awake, taking personal responsibility for the reality you create and being a leader by example for others.

Book excerpt: Speaking Being: Werner Erhard, Martin Heidegger, and a New Possibility of Being Human is an unprecedented study of the ideas and methods developed by the thinker Werner Erhard. In this book, those ideas and methods are revealed by presenting in full an innovative program he developed in the 1980s called The Forum—available in this book as a transcript of an actual course led by Erhard in San Francisco in December of 1989. Since its inception, Erhard’s work has impacted the lives of millions of people throughout the world. Central to this study is a comparative analysis of Erhard’s rhetorical project, The Forum, and the philosophical project of Martin Heidegger. Through this comparative analysis, the authors demonstrate how each thinker’s work sometimes parallels and often illuminates the other. The dialogue at work in The Forum functions to generate a language which speaks being. That is, The Forum is an instance of what the authors call ontological rhetoric: a technology of communicating what cannot be said in language. Nevertheless, what does get said allows those participating in the dialogue to discover previously unseen aspects of what it currently means to be human. As a primary outcome of such discovery, access to creating a new possibility of what it is to be human is made available. The purpose of this book is to show how communication of the unspoken realm of language—speaking being—is actually accomplished in The Forum, and to demonstrate how Erhard did it in 1989. Through placing Erhard’s language use next to Heidegger’s thinking—presented in a series of “Sidebars” and “Intervals” alongside The Forum transcript—the authors have made two contributions. They have illuminated the work of two thinkers, who independently developed similar forms of ontological rhetoric while working from very different times and places. Hyde and Kopp have also for the first time made Erhard’s extraordinary form of ontological rhetoric available for a wide range of audiences, from scholars at work within a variety of academic disciplines to anyone interested in exploring the possibility of being for human beings. From the Afterword: I regard Speaking Being as an enormously important contribution to understanding Heidegger and Erhard. The latter has received far too little serious academic attention, and this book begins to make up for that lack. Moreover, the book’s analysis of Heidegger’s thought is among the best that I have ever read. I commend this book to all readers without reservation. Michael E. Zimmerman, Professor Emeritus, University of Colorado, Boulder

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. John Inzerillo – Is focused on rekindling the joy and wonder that lies within all of us. He presents ideas and exercises expressly designed to help the reader reconnect with the child they once were, while examining and altering long-held belief systems in order to better negotiate many of life’s common stumbling blocks. The work’s insightful emphasis on compassion and grace illustrates the profound impact that simple, everyday gestures, such as offering a genuine smile or a word of praise and appreciation can have on our relationships as well as on our own sense of well–being. He gently coaches us through confronting and tackling some of life’s more difficult issues, especially those presented in the face of debilitating health conditions such as cancer, chronic pain, dementia, depression, heart disease, etc. Navigating through life’s stresses and challenges can be difficult at best, especially in today’s complex and demanding society. Let Discover the Joy of Good Health teach you how to liberate yourself from the guilt that prevents you from asking for what you want and need, and to stay in the present instead of focusing on past hurts and future expectations. He focuses on how to accept and adjust to change and how to set boundaries and free ourselves from the “need to please.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this timely new book, Christopher Paul analyzes how the words we use to talk about video games and the structures that are produced within games shape a particular way of gaming by focusing on how games create meaning, lead to identification and division, persuade, and circulate ideas. Paul examines the broader social discourse about gaming, including: the way players are socialized into games; the impact of the lingering association of video games as kid's toys; the dynamics within specific games (including Grand Theft Auto and EA Sports Games); and the ways in which players participate in shaping the discourse of games, demonstrated through examples like the reward system of World of Warcraft and the development of theorycraft. Overall, this book illustrates how video games are shaped by words, design and play; all of which are negotiated, ongoing practices among the designers, players, and society that construct the discourse of video games.

Book excerpt: MYSTICISM IN NEWBURYPORT is a seven-book series revealing ancient secrets from masters of all cultures along with modern-day breakthroughs by scientists and quantum physicists of our times. These tales began flowing after Peter’s powerful spiritual awakening in Newburyport, Massachusetts. Newburyport is a quaint little, historic seaport on the coast heading towards New Hampshire. Peter had been sober in the 12-step recovery program for many years and had recovered from his alcoholism. Peter’s love of Nature had brought him to the Newburyport area. This area is rich with Nature’s treasures, Native American Heritage and many tales from the tall cargo ships of olden days. High street was lined with homes of these Sea Captains. Peter’s awakening had given him new eyes and new highly evolved senses. Peter was to have powerful past lives experience with his Mystery Woman guide named Layne. Layne was a mystic that would tell people things about themselves that there was no way she could know. She would look you in the eyes and tell you your deepest secrets. She also knew about the Earth’s electromagnetic grids and helped Peter understand what he was experiencing in Newburyport. Peter’s new heightened senses could feel the electromagnet flow of energy and the convergence right below Market Square in Newburyport. Market Square was one of the crossroads for these powerful electromagnet energies that gives life to our planet. Peter was to share the secrets that were revealed to him in his writings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Hank Williams died on New Year's Day 1953 at the age of twenty-nine, his passing appeared to bring an abrupt end to a saga of rags-to-riches success and anguished self-destruction. As it turned out, however, an equally gripping story was only just beginning, as Williams's meteoric rise to stardom, extraordinary musical achievements, turbulent personal life, and mysterious death all combined to make him an endlessly intriguing historical figure. For more than sixty years, an ever-lengthening parade of journalists, family and friends, musical contemporaries, biographers, historians and scholars, ordinary fans, and novelists have attempted to capture in words the man, the artist, and the legend. The Hank Williams Reader, the first book of its kind devoted to this giant of American music, collects more than sixty of the most compelling, insightful, and historically significant of these writings. Among them are many pieces that have never been reprinted or that are published here for the first time. The selections cover a broad assortment of themes and perspectives, ranging from heartfelt reminiscences by Williams's relatives and shocking tabloid exposés to thoughtful meditations by fellow artists and penetrating essays by prominent scholars and critics. Over time, writers have sought to explain Williams in a variety of ways, and in tracing these shifting interpretations, this anthology chronicles his cultural transfiguration from star-crossed hillbilly singer-songwriter to enduring American icon. The Hank Williams Reader also features a lengthy interpretive introduction and the most extensive bibliography of Williams-related writings ever published.
