Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our world has been maintaining a destructive path for humankind with our continued use of force to resolve human issues. We are continuing to move downhill toward greater violence. To stop violence, we must build healthier personal and social worldviews. A quest for the truth beyond the self, community, and our worldviews needs to be implemented. We will need to improve our ability to think rationally. Most of all, we will need to learn how to intelligently use God's gift of freedom. Since our personal worldviews are our standards of reference for truth for designing and building our worldviews, we can only reach for and estimate the truth through non-threatening dialogue. We have been conditioned to forcefully defend fixed worldviews, which are not healthy. Healthier worldviews are needed to implement non-violent, intentional change to the worldviews of every individual, every organization, every community, and every dominating system. Healthier worldviews would lead to an integrated translormatiun of science, religion, education, and government. All worldviews need to be more inclusive of relevant information and be internally consistent. They need to represent the truth of reality as well as the truth in reality. Each personal worldview is that person's standard of reference for truth, whenever that person makes a decision. We tend to fix our worldviews with claims of certainty, rather than stable assumptions of truth. Such fixed standards are not adequate to bring peace to this world. We must learn to intentionally look beyond these fixed standards to estimate and seek the truth of what those worldviews ought to be in the future. No information should be seen as value free and independent of morality. We all use our personal worldviews when making moral decisions. Our worldviews all need to change periodically in order to incorporate continuing non-violent intentional change to our beliefs and values. A meaningful worldview builds a representation of reality upon a set of assumptions of truth. Reason demands non-contradiction, but it cannot promise a healthy worldview. This book shows how to make them healthy. Comments or questions about the book? Email the author at [email protected] or check out his website http://changeworldview.blogspot.com.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Speaker's Corner Books is a provocative new series designed to stimulate, educate, and foster discussion on significant public policy topics. Written by experts in a variety of fields, these brief and engaging books should be read by anyone interested in the trends and issues that shape our society. Long target of policymakers and reformers, the current American healthcare system is, in the words of Richard D. Lamm, "unsustainable, unaffordable, and inequitable, and needs to be substantially amended and revised." In this informed and erudite look at the current state of the American healthcare system, Lamm exposes the problems existing not only in policy and professional circles, but also in public attitudes and expectations. In so doing, Lamm provides a framework for reform, seeking to rebuild the "house of healthcare" that has into disrepair.
Download or read book Stay in Shape Lead a Healthy Life written by Valentin Matcas and published by Valentin Leonard Matcas. This book was released on with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can you eat as much as you desire, while staying slim and attractive for life, enjoying your good health and your youthful vitality? And if you ever become sick, how can you regain your good health and maintain it indefinitely? Even more, how can you prolong your life as much as possible, remaining young looking, strong and vibrant continuously? These are essential questions and you should always consider them, since you should always be able to lose weight and maintain your good health with ease, because your body and mind can remain proper and fit for as long as they are not harmed or unbalanced. And even when they are harmed or unbalanced, your body and mind can still recover on their own, to offer you good health, sustained vitality, and a beautiful young appearance. This is exactly what you want, but how can you achieve it? Because you have tried everything, as you still gain weight. Additionally, you feel weak many times, even depressed, while you become sick too. And since it happens to everybody, is it actually your fault? Why is everybody sick, weak, tired, overweight, wrinkled, on stimulants, on medication, and on all drugs? Why can you not remain healthy indefinitely, the way you should, and the way your body and mind are supposed to offer? These are important questions, while their answer is rather simple. Since many times, a variety of factors harm your body and mind, even continuously, for various reasons, and now, your body and mind cannot recover, unless you identify, understand, and counteract these main factors first. Therefore, in order for you to have your good health, vitality, happiness, vibrancy, and good appearance, you have to find out what harms your body and mind in the first place, along with everything keeping them unbalanced, and you solve it. Because throughout life and throughout the world, you always have causes generating effects generating causes generating effects, in very large lines of causality, and this is why you have to find these main problems generating the entire line of causality affecting your health, vitality, feelings, and appearance. Otherwise, you end up solving effects and symptoms but not main causes, while your problems persist. These keep manifesting while your mind and body are doomed to remain sick, weak, and dreadful, indefinitely. Since this is how people suffer and die, for these main causes, for these hidden, ignored, or unidentified problems, as these are numerous throughout life and society, affecting you continuously. What main causes exactly? The main causes determining you to eat excessively and therefore to gain weight, yet there are other main causes affecting you continuously, which are just as dreadful. Because just by attempting to stop eating as you do during diets, you never arrive to lose weight, since you never solve the main causes making you hungry in the first place, with all consequences piling up and intensifying. While there are many main causes interfering right now with your health, feelings, vitality, proper reasoning, happiness, and bodily appearance, and you should know them well. Because in general, people focus on everything else while attempting to lose weight, they focus on their symptoms and effects, but not on the main dreadful factors causing these. And it never works. Throughout this book, you learn everything about health, nutrition, and fitness, helping you stay slim, healthy, vigorous, happy, vibrant, and attractive for life, while helping you identify and avoid many problems and illnesses. If you seek the perfect program and lifestyle keeping you fit, this book is for you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the Second World War, a wide range of people, including political leaders and government officials, experts and armchair internationalists, civil society groups and private citizens talked about and formulated plans to ensure national security and to promote individual well-being in the postwar world. Rebuilding the Postwar Order explains how civil society and governments of the wartime allies conceived of peace and traces the international negotiations and conferences that later resulted in the United Nations system. It adopts a multilateral approach, connects wartime ideas to earlier peacemaking efforts, and reveals support for, as well as resistance and alternatives to, the emerging postwar order. In chapters on the United Nations, UNRRA, the IMF, World Bank and GATT, the FAO and WHO, UNESCO, and human rights, McKenzie explores the tensions between national sovereignty and international responsibility, national security and individual well-being, principles and compromises, morality and power, privilege and justice, all of which influenced the UN system.

Download or read book The Knowledge written by Lewis Dartnell and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-03-10 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How would you go about rebuilding a technological society from scratch? If our technological society collapsed tomorrow what would be the one book you would want to press into the hands of the postapocalyptic survivors? What crucial knowledge would they need to survive in the immediate aftermath and to rebuild civilization as quickly as possible? Human knowledge is collective, distributed across the population. It has built on itself for centuries, becoming vast and increasingly specialized. Most of us are ignorant about the fundamental principles of the civilization that supports us, happily utilizing the latest—or even the most basic—technology without having the slightest idea of why it works or how it came to be. If you had to go back to absolute basics, like some sort of postcataclysmic Robinson Crusoe, would you know how to re-create an internal combustion engine, put together a microscope, get metals out of rock, or even how to produce food for yourself? Lewis Dartnell proposes that the key to preserving civilization in an apocalyptic scenario is to provide a quickstart guide, adapted to cataclysmic circumstances. The Knowledge describes many of the modern technologies we employ, but first it explains the fundamentals upon which they are built. Every piece of technology rests on an enormous support network of other technologies, all interlinked and mutually dependent. You can’t hope to build a radio, for example, without understanding how to acquire the raw materials it requires, as well as generate the electricity needed to run it. But Dartnell doesn’t just provide specific information for starting over; he also reveals the greatest invention of them all—the phenomenal knowledge-generating machine that is the scientific method itself. The Knowledge is a brilliantly original guide to the fundamentals of science and how it built our modern world.

Download or read book The Postnatal Depletion Cure written by Dr. Oscar Serrallach and published by Grand Central Life & Style. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While postpartum depression has become a recognizable condition, this is the first book to treat root causes of mommy brain, baby blues, and other symptoms that leave mothers feeling exhausted. Any woman who has read What to Expect When You're Expecting needs a copy of The Postnatal Depletion Cure. Filled with trustworthy advice, protocols for successful recovery, and written by a compassionate expert in women's health, this book is a guide to help any mother restore her energy, replenish her body, and reclaim her sense of self. Most mothers have experienced pain, forgetfulness, indecision, low energy levels, moodiness, or some form of baby brain. And it's no wonder: The process of growing a baby depletes a mother's body in substantial ways--on average, a mother's brain shrinks 5% during pregnancy, and the placenta saps her of essential nutrients that she needs to be healthy and contented. But with postnatal care ending after 6 weeks, most women never learn how to rebuild their strength and care for their bodies after childbirth. As a result, they can suffer from the effects of depletion for many years, without knowing what's wrong as well as getting the support and treatments that they need.
