At seventeen, Phyllis found her dreams crumbling when teen pregnancy led to early responsibilities, loneliness, and ultimately, welfare. But she didn’t stop there. This fervent love story of a mother and child who walked together through the storms of life—and learned to fly above them—will teach and inspire you to keep going. “Many times, we are faced with challenges, trials, and sudden storms,” says the author. “They come to make us strong—and if you hang in there, the sun will shine again.” Get up, out, over, and on your way today.

There have been many books written about moving from rags to riches. What makes mine different? I would say the big difference is that this is "my" rags to riches story. Of all the books that have been written on this subject, none of them were my story. I believe my story will move and touch the hearts of people in a different way than other books.This book is not only about overcoming trials and tribulations, but it also seeks to reveal my true heart, my underlying motivation and the character it takes to rise above poverty to enduring riches. Therefore, I am writing to motivate, encourage and give hope to people who feel hopeless. The most important message that I want the reader to hear is that we live in the greatest and most prosperous country on earth. Making daily sound choices affords one the greatest opportunities to rise from poverty to riches in our great land.

In this new edition of Foundations for Moral Relativism a distinguished moral philosopher tames a bugbear of current debate about cultural difference. J. David Velleman shows that different communities can indeed be subject to incompatible moralities, because their local mores are rationally binding. At the same time, he explains why the mores of different communities, even when incompatible, are still variations on the same moral themes. The book thus maps out a universe of many moral worlds without, as Velleman puts it, "moral black holes”. The six self-standing chapters discuss such diverse topics as online avatars and virtual worlds, lying in Russian and truth-telling in Quechua, the pleasure of solitude and the fear of absurdity. Accessibly written, this book presupposes no prior training in philosophy.

Throughout the history of psychology, there have been full investigations of discrete emotions (particularly negative ones) and a recent wealth of books on happiness, but few exist on the emotion of joy. This book takes a unique psychological approach to understanding this powerful emotion and provides a framework within which the study of human joy and other related positive fulfillment experiences can fit in a meaningful schema. A key feature of this book is its development of an experiential phenomenology of joy. This phenomenology is based on more than three hundred descriptions of joy experiences recounted by subjects in an empirical study executed by the author. Types of joy experiences are examined, such as excited vs. serene joy, anticipatory vs. completed joy, and affiliative vs. individuated joy. There is no comparable book or work that clarifies the relationship among major positive states with emotional components including satisfaction, happiness, and ecstasy.

There are some similarities between the 2023 state of the US economy and the 2008 financial crisis related to inflation and supply chain disruptions, however, the underlying causes of the two situations are different. The concise but scoped analysis of major economies related to the present circumstances in the US banking crisis comes at a time when the US dollar is facing competition from China and others. The US government and the Federal Reserve have taken steps to address the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and curbing interest rates to battle inflation. Such measures, however, have placed several US banks in a tough position. On 15th March 2023, The Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) was closed down by US regulators. This was followed by its former parent company SVB Financial Group filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (the filing did not include its remaining subsidiaries). A second, New York-based Signature Bank was forced to shut its doors. It was later bought by New York Community Bancorp (Flagstar Bank). A third, Silvergate bank had previously announced on March 8 they would liquidate due to their failures in their cryptocurrency portfolios.

Inclusive Ethics begins from two ideas which are part of our everyday morality, namely that we have a moral reason to benefit or do good to other beings, and that justice requires these benefits to be distributed equally. A morality comprising these two general principles will be exceedingly hard to apply as these principles will have to be balanced against each in an intuitive fashion, but also because the notion of what benefits beings is quite complex, comprising both experiential components of pleasure and successful exercises of autonomy. Ingmar Persson argues that, on philosophical reflection, these ideas turn out to be more far-reaching than we imagine. In particular, the reason to benefit commits us to benefit beings by bringing them into existence. Further, since grounds that are commonly used to justify that some are better off than others - such as their being more deserving or having rights to more - are untenable, justice requires a more extensive equality. The book concludes by reflecting on the problems of getting people to accept a morality which differs markedly from the morality with which they have grown up.
