The Murder on the Links is a work of detective fiction by Agatha Christie, first published in the US, in the same year in the UK in 1923. It features Hercule Poirot and Arthur Hastings.The story takes place in northern France, giving Poirot a hostile competitor from the Paris Surete. Poirots long memory for past or similar crimes proves useful in resolving the crimes. The book is notable for a subplot in which Hastings falls in love, a development "greatly desired on Agathas part parcelling off Hastings to wedded bliss in the Argentine."Hercule Poirot and Captain Hastings travel to Merlinville-sur-Mer, France, to meet Paul Renauld, who has requested their help. Upon arriving at his home, the Villa Genevieve, local police greet them with news that he has been found dead that morning.Renauld had been stabbed in the back with a letter opener and left in a newly dug grave adjacent to a local golf course. His wife, Eloise Renauld, claims masked men broke into the villa at 2 am, tied her up, and took her husband away with them. Upon inspecting his body, Eloise collapses with grief at seeing her dead husband.

Psychoanalysis is a set of psychological and psychotherapeutic theories and associated techniques, originally popularised by Austrian physician Sigmund Freud and stemming partly from the clinical work of Josef Breuer and others. Since then, psychoanalysis has expanded and been revised, reformed and developed in different directions.This was initially by Freuds colleagues and students, such as Alfred Adler and Carl Gustav Jung who went on to develop their own ideas independently from Freud. Later neo-Freudians included Erich Fromm, Karen Horney, Harry Stack Sullivan and Jacques Lacan.The basic tenets of psychoanalysis include the following:besides the inherited constitution of personality, a persons development is determined by events in early childhood; human attitude, mannerism, experience, and thought is largely influenced by irrational drives; irrational drives are unconscious; attempts to bring these drives into awareness meet psychological resistance in the form of defense mechanisms; conflicts between conscious and unconscious, or repressed, material can materialise in the form of mental or emotional disturbances, for example: neurosis, neurotic traits, anxiety.

Most people never give themselves a sustained, uninterrupted period of genuine self-focus. Not because they lack the desire, but because the world makes it remarkably easy to stay distractedby obligations, by other peoples needs, by the low-grade guilt that arrives whenever attention turns inward for too long. One season. Thirteen weeks. It sounds manageable until you realize how rarely youve ever actually tried it.This book explores what happens in the inner life when a person makes a deliberate, time-bounded commitment to themselves above everything else. It examines the emotional patterns that surface almost immediatelythe discomfort of prioritizing yourself in a world that rewards self-sacrifice, the identity questions that arise when external validation is temporarily removed, and the surprising difficulty of knowing what you actually want when you finally have the space to ask.One Season of Extreme Self Focus offers a compassionate look at what a single season of radical inward attention can reveal. It explores how the resistance to self-focus is rarely about selfishness and more often about an unexamined belief that your own needs are less urgent, less worthy, or less legitimate than everyone elsesand how gently challenging that belief over thirteen concentrated weeks can quietly reshape everything that follows.This is not a productivity sprint or a self-optimization challenge. It is a thoughtful exploration of what it means to take yourself seriously for one seasonfor anyone who has spent years investing in everything except the life happening inside them.

Noise has become the default. Not just the audible kindthough that toobut the relentless ambient noise of notifications, obligations, opinions, and information that arrives faster than it can be meaningfully absorbed. For many people, the experience of genuine focus has become so rare it feels almost foreign, like a capacity that once existed and has quietly slipped away.This book explores what it actually means to lose focus in a world architecturally designed to fragment it. It examines the inner patterns that make sustained attention so difficultthe restlessness that arrives within seconds of stillness, the guilt of doing one thing when ten others are waiting, and the subtle but accumulating exhaustion of a mind that has forgotten what it feels like to be fully present in a single moment.Reclaim Focus in a Noisy World offers a compassionate look at the relationship between external overstimulation and internal disorientation. It explores how a constant noise environment gradually reshapes not just attention spans but the deeper experience of knowing what matters, what to prioritize, and who you are when the input finally stops. It examines how the hunger for focus is often less about productivity and more about the quiet human need to feel coherent in your own life.This is not a concentration technique guide or a noise-cancellation strategy. It is a thoughtful exploration of what genuine attention feels like when its reclaimedfor anyone who has sensed that the noise outside has slowly become indistinguishable from the noise within.

Imagine reading a newspaper article about your own field of expertise and laughing at its glaring inaccuracies. Now imagine turning the page and instantly believing a report on a subject you know absolutely nothing about. This bizarre cognitive blind spot affects us all.Known as the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect, this psychological phenomenon explains why we systematically forget the medias unreliability the moment they switch topics. In an era of rampant misinformation and rapid news cycles, this unquestioning trust creates a dangerous illusion of knowledge that shapes public policy, elections, and our personal decisions.Julia Hastings delves into the mechanics of epistemic trespassing and authority bias. She reveals the psychological triggers that make our brains compartmentalize skepticism, and how news organizations inadvertently exploit this flaw to maintain their authority. You will see firsthand how the human mind prioritizes narrative over factual consistency.Break the cycle of passive consumption. Discover the tools to maintain a healthy, consistent skepticism and safeguard your critical thinking against the seductive comfort of the daily news.

Why do brilliant experts often fail to solve problems that a novice can figure out in minutes? The answer lies in a cognitive trap that punishes experience. When we successfully solve a problem using a specific method, our brain physically wires itself to default to that exact solution in the future.This phenomenon is known as the Einstellung Effect. It is a state of cognitive rigidity where our existing knowledge literally blinds us to simpler, more elegant solutions. In fast-paced business environments and creative fields, this mental mechanization transforms our hard-earned expertise into our greatest liability, trapping us in outdated paradigms.Clara Bennett dissects the neurology of habituated thinking. She uncovers the hidden mechanics of how our brain conserves energy by bypassing lateral thought, and provides actionable frameworks to shatter these invisible mental constraints. You will learn how to actively unlearn comfortable routines and force your mind to see alternative paths.True innovation requires breaking the mold of your own experience. Master the techniques to bypass the Einstellung Effect and reclaim the flexible, creative power of a beginners mind.

When you walk through a supermarket or wait in a hotel lobby, the music playing overhead is rarely a random playlist. It is a highly engineered auditory architecture designed to manipulate your physical movements, alter your perception of time, and ultimately drive your purchasing decisions.The history of background music, popularized by the Muzak Corporation, is a fascinating study in corporate psychological control. By analyzing the beats per minute, volume, and emotional resonance of a track, businesses can seamlessly dictate whether you linger in an aisle or quickly finish your meal. This sonic branding is the invisible hand guiding the modern consumer economy.Nathan Cole explores the hidden science of retail acoustics. He reveals the data-driven strategies used to craft perfect soundscapes, demonstrating how auditory triggers bypass our rational defenses to influence our subconscious behavior.Stop letting background noise dictate your choices. Uncover the subtle art of auditory manipulation and learn how to recognize the sonic architecture that surrounds and influences you every day.

The Yogi Philosophy may be divided into several great branches, or fields. What is known as "Hatha Yoga" deals with the physical body and its control; its welfare; its health; its preservation; its laws, etc.What is known as "Raja Yoga" deals with the Mind; its control; its development; its unfoldment, etc. What is known as "Bhakti Yoga" deals with the Love of the AbsoluteGod.What is known as "Gnani Yoga" deals with the scientific and intellectual knowing of the great questions regarding Life and what lies back of Lifethe Riddle of the Universe.Each branch of Yoga is but a path leading toward the one endunfoldment, development, and growth. He who wishes first to develop, control and strengthen his physical body so as to render it a fit instrument of the Higher Self, follows the path of "Hatha Yoga." He who would develop his will-power and mental faculties, unfolding the inner senses, and latent powers, follows the path of "Raja Yoga." He who wishes to develop by "knowing"by studying the fundamental principles, and the wonderful truths underlying Life, follows the path of "Gnani Yoga."

In the autumn of 1872, the United States economy ground to a sudden, terrifying halt. The cause was not a stock market crash or a human pandemic, but a highly contagious strain of equine influenza. Within weeks, millions of horses were paralyzed by sickness, silencing the bustling streets of major American cities.Before the combustion engine, horses were the vital gears of urban infrastructure. The Great Epizootic exposed the fragility of a society completely dependent on animal labor. Streetcars stopped, food rotted at docks, and fire engines could not be pulleda vulnerability that directly fueled the catastrophic Great Boston Fire of 1872.Samuel Harris chronicles this forgotten logistical nightmare. He examines the hidden mechanics of 19th-century supply chains and how a single biological variable brought the Industrial Revolution to its knees. The book highlights the perilous consequences of building a monolithic transportation network with no fallback systems.History proves that single points of failure inevitably collapse. Read this fascinating account to understand the deep vulnerabilities in our own modern infrastructure and the true cost of unchecked dependencies.

The end of a year is supposed to feel like closure. Instead, for many people, it arrives as a quiet accumulation of unfinished thingsgoals that didnt land, conversations left unresolved, and a low-grade restlessness that no amount of holiday busyness quite manages to soothe. The calendar says its time to wind down. The inner life hasnt received the memo.This book explores what it actually takes to arrive at the end of a year feeling calm rather than depleted. It examines the emotional patterns that make genuine stillness so difficult in the final weeksthe compulsive reviewing of what went wrong, the pressure to manufacture gratitude before its honestly felt, and the subtle anxiety of standing at the threshold of a new year without feeling ready or resolved enough to cross it cleanly.End the Year Calm and Grounded offers a compassionate look at the relationship between inner stillness and the particular emotional weight that accumulates over twelve months of living. It explores how calm is not the absence of unresolved feelings but the capacity to hold them without being overwhelmedand how grounded year-endings are less about achieving the right mindset and more about allowing an honest reckoning with the year as it actually was, not as it was supposed to be.This is not a year-end review template or a reflection ritual guide. It is a thoughtful exploration of what genuine inner quiet feels like when the year finally closesfor anyone who has reached December exhausted, unresolved, and quietly hoping to feel more at peace than the year has so far permitted.

For a busy mind, the phone rarely feels like the problem. It feels like the solutiona way to fill the gaps, manage the anxiety, stay on top of everything, and never quite have to sit with the discomfort of having nothing to do. The irony is that the very device used to manage mental overwhelm is often the primary source of it.This book explores the relationship between a cluttered digital life and a cluttered inner one. It examines the patterns that keep busy, overstimulated people tethered to their phones not out of laziness or weak willpower, but out of something more honesta nervous system that has learned to treat constant input as safety, and stillness as a problem to be solved.Minimalist Phone Habits for Busy Minds offers a compassionate look at what it actually means to simplify a digital life when the mind itself resists simplicity. It explores how phone habits often mirror deeper patterns around control, productivity, and the fear of falling behindand how understanding those patterns can shift the experience of putting the phone down from deprivation into genuine relief.This is not a screen-time optimization guide or a minimalism manifesto. It is a thoughtful exploration of the emotional texture behind digital overusefor anyone whose mind is always busy, whose phone is always close, and who suspects the two facts are not unrelated.

The exhaustion of social situations that others seem to navigate effortlessly.This book explores what actually lives beneath shyness.

In the earliest days of strategy gaming, players had a god-like view of the entire board. Everything changed the moment developers introduced a simple mechanic: darkness. By hiding the enemys movements beneath the "Fog of War," games shifted from simple math puzzles to psychological battlegrounds.This ingenious design choice mimics the chaos of real-world military command, forcing players to make critical decisions based on incomplete information. It introduces paranoia, calculated risks, and the devastating power of the ambush. Understanding this mechanic offers a profound window into human decision-making under severe uncertainty.Thomas Reid traces the evolution of hidden information , from the 19th-century Prussian Kriegsspiel to the digital arenas of modern esports. He breaks down the cognitive load required to anticipate an unseen opponent, revealing how game designers expertly manipulate our innate fear of the unknown.Mastering the unknown is the ultimate test of strategic thinking. Explore how digital shadows transformed video games into complex psychological simulators, and learn to navigate the fog in your own strategic endeavors.

At the dawn of the 20th century, developers saw an arid basin in Southern California and dreamed of an agricultural paradise. Instead, a single miscalculation turned the mighty Colorado River inland, flooding the desert for two relentless years.This catastrophic engineering failure birthed the Salton Sea, a massive accidental ocean that transformed into a glamorous mid-century resort destination, only to become one of the nations worst ecological time bombs.

Readers will discover the complex interplay between geological realities and aggressive irrigation strategies that led to the basins toxic collapse.Understanding the Salton Sea is essential for grasping the fragile future of modern water management. Dive into this gripping historical narrative to learn why ignoring the raw power of nature always comes at a devastating cost.

Ce un confine sottile tra cio che siamo e cio che ci permettono di essere. In un mondo che misura lamore e lodio, il corpo e lidentita secondo regole antiche, secondo bandiere e confini, qualcuno decide di attraversare la linea e guardare oltre. Humanus - La via della Pace e la storia di chi non accetta di scegliere tra due estremi, di chi cerca la propria voce nel silenzio imposto, di chi ama al di la del nome che gli e stato dato, del luogo di nascita o delle religioni. Un romanzo che scava nel desiderio e nella vergogna, nella carne e nello spirito, fino a rivelare che la vera rivoluzione non e cambiare il mondo, ma riconoscere se stessi. Perche esiste un luogo, fragile e perfetto, dove maschile e femminile si confondono, dove le diversita culturali si annullano, dove amore e odio si completano: e li, finalmente, si e liberi.

When Jesus arrives, Hades bids his servants to bolt and lock the doors, but to no avail; Jesus shatters the gates and enters. He seizes Satan and binds him in iron chains, then consigning him into Hadess keeping until the second coming. Jesus next turns his attention to the patriarchs. He raises up Adam, along with all the prophets and the saints.Together, they all depart up out of Hades, and ascend into Paradise.) The "Harrowing of Hell" portion of that Gospel was widely circulated in other compilations of religious literature, most notably in the Golden Legend of the lives of the saints, compiled by Jacob of Voragine in the 13th century. On the other hand, The original of this manuscript is deposited in the French war archives, in Paris; a copy was, with the permission of the French Government, taken in 1855. This document is supposed to have been written about the year 1765. In the remainder of this book, we would like to look at ten different visual depictions of the story.

Theres something both compelling and complicated about the idea of a final push. The year is almost over, the window is closing, and somewhere beneath the exhaustion lives a stubborn conviction that this last stretch still mattersthat what gets done in these final weeks can reshape not just the years outcome, but how the next one begins.This book explores the emotional terrain of end-of-year intensity. It examines what actually happens when a person commits to a concentrated period of focused effort after months of inconsistency, distraction, or simply the accumulated weight of a long year. The motivation that arrives sharp and then dulls. The perfectionism that turns a productive week into an all-or-nothing ultimatum. The complicated guilt of pushing hard when rest feels equally overdue.Year End Discipline Sprint Blueprint offers a compassionate look at what sustained final-stretch effort actually requires from the inside. It explores how discipline at years end is rarely just about time management or willpowerits about understanding the emotional patterns that have shaped the year so far, and making a clear-eyed decision about what a final sprint is genuinely for, who it serves, and whether the version of yourself doing the sprinting has anything left worth running toward.This is not a productivity formula or a goal-completion system. It is a thoughtful exploration of what honest, self-aware effort looks like in the closing weeks of a yearfor anyone ready to finish with intention rather than just momentum.
