Modern culture has a simple message: More is better. More wealth. More products. More upgrades. More success. More growth. The entire economic system runs on a single assumption: human desire should never stop expanding. But what happens when a civilization builds itself around endless appetite? In The Hunger for More: Greed and the Culture of Endless Consumption, Kevin L. Whitworth explores one of the most powerful forces shaping modern society—greed. Once condemned as one of the seven deadly sins, greed has quietly been rebranded as ambition, growth, and progress.

Among them are our seniors, veterans, and retirees, individuals who have given so much and deserve support, respect, and financial relief in their later years.

Nobody teaches you how to grieve. This is the strange truth at the center of an experience so common it touches every person who has ever lived long enough to lose someone. A hybrid cultural investigation and memoir that asks what grief is, where it comes from, who controls it, and what happens when the structures designed to support it are broken. From the neuroscience of loss to the mourning rituals of the Torajan highlands, the burning ghats of Varanasi, and the jazz funerals of New Orleans, this book traces grief across biology, history, culture, economics, and the deeply personal.

« Ce que les hommes sans nom m'ont appris peut servir à tous. » « Si tu ralentis, ils s'arrêtent. Si tu faiblis, ils flanchent. Si tu t'assieds, ils se couchent. Si tu critiques, ils démolissent. Mais si tu marches devant, ils te dépasseront. » À la Légion étrangère, comme dans le monde du travail, tout repose sur la communication. Dans ce livre, le capitaine Nicolas Brault transmet son expérience du commandement, forgée sur le terrain. Il montre comment l'autorité se construit au quotidien, par la clarté, l'écoute et l'exemplarité, bien plus que par le charisme ou la contrainte.
