You've seen it - on television, social media, at work, and even in your personal life. We're in the midst of a cold civil war, and the tension is mounting.

The Second Civil War is a guidebook for every American troubled by our growing national divide, with meaningful tools and practical strategies you can implement to end political bigotry, repair broken relationships, recognize misinformation, and resist fear mongering

Boomers are narcissists. Millennials are spoiled. Gen Zers are lazy. We assume people born around the same time have basically the same values. It makes for good headlines, but is it true?

Ett av samhällets största problem är missbruk. Idag vet vi betydligt mer om hur ett urspårat missbruk påverkar en människas hjärna, men vad är det egentligen som leder fram till ett missbruk? Och finns det sätt att motverka att någon fastnar i träsk av droger och alkohol?

En este audiolibro revolucionario, el autor, Vivek Murthy -que fue cirujano general de Estados Unidos con Barack Obama- defiende que la soledad constituye un problema de salud pública y no es casualidad que en algunos países los gobiernos la hayan incorporado a sus agendas de trabajo.

Mehr denn je sind wir damit beschäftigt, das Limit des Zumutbaren neu zu justieren. Wo liegt die Grenze des Sagbaren? Ab wann ist eine Berührung eine Belästigung? Svenja Flaßpöhler tritt einen Schritt zurück und beleuchtet den Glutkern des Konflikts: die zunehmende Sensibilisierung des Selbst und der Gesellschaft. "Sensibel" ist ein hochaktuelles, philosophisches und gleichzeitig unterhaltsames Hörbuch, das die Sensibilität dialektisch durchleuchtet und zu dem Schluss kommt: Die Resilienz ist die Schwester der Sensibilität. Die Zukunft meistern können sie nur gemeinsam.

L'accelerazionismo è Legione: proprio come il demone biblico, esso è una miriade di forze contrastanti, uno spettro multiforme che aspetta di incarnarsi e gridare il proprio nome. Non è una via d'uscita dal capitalismo, né un'alternativa valida in cui sperare: è soprattutto una nuova e radicale modalità di vivere il presente e le sue infinite contraddizioni".

¿Dónde están las verdaderas amenazas a la libertad de expresión? ¿Se está criminalizando la protesta? En los últimos tiempos saltan a la prensa noticias como la censura del cartel de una exposición de Egon Schiele, se genera debate en torno a un cuadro de Balthus o a la "Lolita" de Nabokov... ¿Nos invade una oleada de neopuritanismo? ¿Se instaura el triunfo de la corrección política? ¿Asistimos a un cambio de paradigma moral, al triunfo de la censura y la autocensura? ¿O acaso lo que se está produciendo es una descalificación y hasta criminalización de la protesta?

By 2016, it was impossible to ignore an international resurgence of xenophobia. What had happened? Looking for clues, psychiatrist and historian George Makari started out in search of the idea’s origins. To his astonishment, he discovered an unfolding series of never-told stories. While a fear and hatred of strangers may be ancient, he found that the notion of a dangerous bias called “xenophobia” arose not so long ago.

Violente, puissante, aveugle, destructrice... Pour beaucoup, la foule est une menace incontrôlable, un danger. Mais elle peut aussi faire preuve d'intelligence collective. Dans les laboratoires, les biologistes, les physiciens, les psychologues cherchent à percer son mystère. Quelles règles dictent les mouvements de foule ? Qu'est-ce qui explique les bousculades meurtrières ? Pourquoi le comportement des piétons diffère-t-il d'un pays à l'autre ? Peut-on comparer les Hommes à des bancs de poissons ?

In Britain alone, more than 20 per cent of the adult population take a psychiatric drug in any one year. This is an increase of over 500 per cent since 1980 and the numbers continue to grow. Yet, despite this prescription epidemic, levels of mental illness of all types have actually increased in number and severity. Using a wealth of studies, interviews with experts, and detailed analysis, Dr James Davies argues that this is because we have fundamentally mischaracterised the problem.
