Theres a strange paradox living inside the self-improvement era of social media. The more a person grows, the more theyre expected to document it. The workout, the morning routine, the before-and-afterall of it quietly shaped by an invisible audience whose approval has become oddly difficult to separate from the motivation to improve in the first place.This book explores what happens to genuine personal growth when it becomes entangled with visibility. It examines the inner patterns that emerge when progress is measured in engagement rather than felt experiencethe hollowness that follows a post that performed well but meant little, the restlessness of achieving something real and immediately reaching for the phone, and the slow erosion of private satisfaction that comes from constantly translating your inner life into content.Level Up Without Flexing Online offers a compassionate look at the relationship between self-improvement and self-performance. It explores how the hunger for external validation can quietly redirect growth away from what genuinely matters toward what photographs welland how recognizing that shift is often the most honest upgrade a person can make.This is not a case against social media or a prescription for digital detox. It is a thoughtful exploration of what it means to grow for yourself in a world that rewards growing out loudfor anyone who has begun to wonder whether their progress belongs to them or to their feed.

We walk through the world entirely convinced that we can easily read the motives, flaws, and true characters of the people around us. Yet, when others judge us, we fiercely believe they only see a fraction of our profound complexity.This cognitive bias is the Illusion of Asymmetric Insight. It is the arrogant, subconscious belief that our social perception is sharper than everyone elses. This fundamental empathy gap is the hidden cancer destroying workplace dynamics, exacerbating political polarization, and silently eroding our most intimate relationships. We judge others by their actions, but demand they judge us by our hidden intentions.Laura Simmons dives deep into the social psychology of miscommunication. She breaks down the mental barriers that prevent genuine understanding, revealing how the ego constructs a false sense of interpersonal superiority to protect our fragile self-image.To build authentic connections, you must first dismantle your own perceptual arrogance. Discover the practical psychological tools to bridge the empathy gap and start truly seeing the people around you.

Something has shifted in the way many people experience their own minds. The ability to sit with a single thought, to read without reaching for a phone, to feel genuinely absorbed in something realit feels further away than it used to. And most people sense, somewhere beneath the habit, that endless scrolling has something to do with it.This book explores what actually happens to attention in a life shaped by constant digital stimulation. It examines the neurological and emotional patterns behind compulsive scrollingnot to shame the habit, but to understand it honestly. The boredom that no longer feels tolerable. The discomfort of stillness that sends a hand toward a screen before a conscious choice is even made. The quiet grief of noticing that things that once held your attention simply no longer do.Fix Your Focus After Endless Scrolling offers a compassionate look at the relationship between dopamine-driven digital habits and the capacity for sustained, meaningful attention. It explores how the brain adapts to high-stimulation environments, how that adaptation quietly reshapes what feels rewarding, and how understanding those patterns can begin to loosen their gripnot through willpower alone, but through genuine self-awareness.This is not a digital detox plan or a screen-time tracker. It is a thoughtful exploration of what it feels like to want your attention backfor anyone who has caught themselves scrolling through nothing, looking for something they cant quite name.

A BOOK OF DISCOVERY"The History of the Worlds Exploration, From the Earliest Times to the Finding of the South Pole"A LITTLE OLD WORLDNo story is complete unless it begins at the very beginning. But where is the beginning? Where is the dawn of geographya"the knowledge of our earth? What was it like before the first explorers made their way into distant lands? Every day that passes we are gaining fresh knowledge of the dim and silent past.Every day men are patiently digging in the old heaps that were once the sites of busy cities, and, as a result of their unwearying toil, they are revealing to us the life-stories of those who dwelt therein; they are disclosing secrets writ on weather-worn stones and tablets, bricks and cylinders, never before even guessed at.Thus we read the wondrous story of ancient days, and breathlessly wonder what marvellous discovery will thrill us next.For the earliest account of the old world -a world made up apparently of a little land and a little water -we turn to an old papyrus, the oldest in existence, which tells us in familiar words, unsurpassed for their exquisite poetry and wondrous simplicity..

On the second day of July in the year 1863 the Civil War in America was at its height. Late in the preceding month Lee had turned his face northward, and, with an army of a hundred thousand Confederate soldiers at his back, had marched up into Pennsylvania.There was little to hinder his advance. Refraining, by reason of strict orders, from wanton destruction of property, his soldiers nevertheless lived on the rich country through which they passed. York and Carlisle were in their grasp. Harrisburg was but a days march away, and now, on this second day of July, flushed with fresh victories, they had turned and were giving desperate battle, through the streets and on the hills of Gettysburg, to the Union armies that had followed them.The old commonwealth was stirred as she had not been stirred before since the fall of Sumter. Every town and village in the state responded quickly to the governors call for emergency troops to defend the capital city. Mount Hermon, already depleted by generous early enlistments, and by the draft of 1862, gathered to-gether the bulk of the able-bodied men left in the village and its surroundings, and sent them forth in defense of the common-

Ninety days sounds like enough time to change everything. And in a sense, it isnot because transformation is guaranteed at the end of it, but because ninety consecutive days of showing up honestly will inevitably reveal something true about who you are, what stops you, and what youre actually willing to do when the initial motivation has long since faded and the only thing left is the quiet, unglamorous decision to continue.This book explores what ruthless consistency actually demands from the inside. Not the version that looks good in a progress postbut the real experience of day seventeen when nothing feels different, day thirty-four when life intervenes and the streak breaks, and day fifty-one when the question of whether any of this matters arrives with uncomfortable force. It examines the emotional patterns that make sustained commitment so difficult: the perfectionism that treats a missed day as total failure, the self-sabotage that surfaces precisely when progress becomes undeniable, and the complicated identity shifts that happen when a person begins to outgrow the version of themselves they started with.Ninety Days of Ruthless Consistency offers a compassionate look at what it means to commit to something long enough to meet yourself honestly. It explores how consistency is rarely about discipline in the conventional senseit is about learning to show up for yourself even when the feeling that started the journey has completely disappeared, and discovering what remains when it does.This is not a habit tracker or a ninety-day challenge formula. It is a thoughtful exploration of the emotional and psychological texture of sustained commitmentfor anyone who has started over enough times to suspect that the problem was never the plan.

Theres a particular kind of personal change that doesnt announce itself. No dramatic reveal, no public milestone, no moment where everyone suddenly notices. Just a quiet, gradual shift in how you carry yourselfin what you tolerate, what you choose, and how you feel on an ordinary morning when no one is watching.This book explores the inner experience of changing in silence. It examines the patterns that make growth feel incomplete without external validationthe habit of measuring progress through other peoples reactions, the restlessness that comes when effort goes unnoticed, and the subtle but powerful difference between changing to be seen and changing to feel more like yourself.Silent Glow Up No One Expects offers a compassionate look at what happens when personal transformation becomes genuinely private. It explores how the absence of an audience can feel uncomfortable at firsteven lonelyfor anyone whose sense of progress has long been shaped by the responses of others. And it examines how that discomfort, when understood rather than avoided, often marks the beginning of the most honest change a person can make.This is not a visibility strategy or a reinvention formula. It is a thoughtful exploration of the emotional texture of growing quietlyfor anyone who has begun to suspect that the most meaningful version of change happens in the spaces no one else can see.

This volume, which is the result of an international conference with participants from the universities of Bochum and Tel Aviv in 2023, brings together twelve contributions that examine prayer in Judaism and Christianity as a place of religious identity construction. In addition to fundamental philosophical and theological questions about the counterpart of prayer and explanations of spiritual practice in intercultural contexts, literary strategies of prayer in the Hebrew Bible and in the texts of Qumran are analyzed. Other contributions explore the Jewish roots of Christian prayer traditions and point to current forms and functions of prayer in Jewish and Christian educational contexts and in the religious poetry of Shalom Ben-Chorin. The interdisciplinary analyses open up new perspectives on prayer as an expression of religious self-identity.[Das Gebet in judischer und christlicher Tradition. Identitat, Praxis und interkulturelle Kontakte] Der vorliegende Band, der auf eine internationale Konferenz mit Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmern der Universitaten Bochum und Tel Aviv im Jahre 2023 zuruckgeht, versammelt zwolf Beitrage, die das Gebet im Judentum und Christentum als Ort religioser Identitatskonstruktion beleuchten. Neben grundlegenden philosophisch-theologischen Fragen zum Gegenuber des Gebets und Ausfuhrungen zu spiritueller Praxis in interkulturellen Kontexten werden literarische Strategien des Betens in der Hebraischen Bibel und in den Texten von Qumran analysiert. Weitere Beitrage fragen nach den judischen Wurzeln christlicher Gebetstraditionen und verweisen auf aktuelle Formen und Funktionen des Gebets in judischen und christlichen Bildungskontexten und in der religiosen Dichtung Schalom Ben-Chorins. Die interdisziplinaren Analysen eroffnen neue Perspektiven auf das Gebet als Ausdruck religioser Selbstverortung.

o dia de folga do investigador Bartolomeu Franco, tres crianças so encontradas mortas em um galpo abandonado no residencial Milton Friedman, em Cataguases. Os corpos esto maquiados, com as mos postas, segurando flores de lantana e aneis com a inscriço "Ad immortalitatem". A investigaço leva Bartolomeu e seu parceiro, Cenoura, a um labirinto de corrupço, segredos do passado e um fanatico religioso obcecado por um decimo primeiro mandamento. Enquanto lida com a decadencia mental do pai e um caso no resolvido do delegado Medeiros, Bartolomeu descobre que o inferno no e lugar para o acaso e que a imortalidade pode ser uma sentença.A cidade e Cataguases, o tempo e o de hoje, o calor, insuportavel tanto das ruas quanto dos acontecimentos. Tres meninos so encontrados mortos em um galpo abandonado numa das regies mais endinheiradas da cidade, em uma cena do crime montada de forma meticulosa e teatral, com laivos religiosos. Na investigaço que se segue, acompanhamos a historia do principal investigador da operaço, Bartolomeu Franco. O que se destaca neste romance, cuja trama mescla especulaço imobiliaria com interesses politicos e corrupço policial, e o aspecto humano. Ainda que as avessas. No espere manifestaçes de heroismo, esperança na natureza humana ou belas redençes. O clima aqui e ainda mais arido que o de Cataguases.Bartolomeu se lança de forma obstinada a decifrar o crime. Teima em nadar contra a corrente de uma regio onde desde sempre quem da as cartas e o dinheiro, quando seria muito mais conveniente para ele ceder ao modus operandis do seu meio. A historia aos poucos nos leva ao fundo dessa obsesso por justiça, algo que sua falecida me pressagiara desde a infancia como a ruina do filho. O pressagio se concretiza: abraçar a carreira de policial chega como caminho inevitavel para ele, mas deflagra a furia do pai. A tragedia pessoal do pai de Bartolomeu com a policia mais um exemplo da desigualdade do tratamento dado aos corpos perifericos no cala a vocaço do filho nem seu senso de justiça, que o impulsionam como uma maldiço pessoal. Acompanhamos Bartolomeu enquanto essas forças cavam buracos fundos quase intransponiveis: o afastam da irm, o alienam do pai, que ele deposita em um asilo, e o deixam despreparado para qualquer encontro amoroso profundo. Tudo ocorre em silencio, como o proprio crime que ele investiga: cadaveres que deveriam gerar escandalo na cidade, mas que ninguem reclama. E o que esta no centro do romance so justamente historias no reivindicadas, que, parafraseando um dos personagens, passam a feder como carniça. Parecem enterradas, entregues a decomposiço definitiva, e nunca o so. Mesclando humor e peso, Vinicius Ferreira constroi com habilidade situaçes paralelas entre um enredo de suspense bem realizado e o drama de pessoas levadas ao desmoronamento no tanto por circunstancias externas, mas por pulses internas bem mais sombrias. Se a historia do homem triste e velha, como conclui outra de suas personagens, ainda assim no cansamos de querer ouvi-la.Ana Carol Mesquita

Silence is not empty.It is selective.In The Silent Lesson, the trials deepen. Sound is stripped away, commands are no longer spoken, and obedience is measured not by reactionbut by restraint. As Mara moves through chambers built to listen, erase, and compare, sheuders confrontation emerges: not only with the Sovereigns system, but with another initiate whose mastery of silence has always come at a cost.Here, power is no longer instruction.It is calibration.Through mirrored breath, competing stillness, and the quiet cruelty of comparison, Mara learns that obedience can bind two bodies at oncebut only one can endure without breaking. What marks her is not punishment, but recognition.The Silent Lesson is a slow, ritual-driven erotic novella focused on internalized control, consent through structure, and the moment silence stops being absence and becomes identity.For readers of psychological BDSM, ritualized power exchange, and erotic fiction where restraint carries more weight than force.
