It does not matter who we are, or how we look on the outside. What matters is who we are in our hearts. This book was inspired by Kate Vialva’s love and faith in God and her desire to spread His word with the aim of offering comfort, support, love and hope to readers – to help them feel restored and renewed. The book is about faith and the positivity of sharing to make our lives, and the lives of those around us, better. Nobody is Better Than Me will give readers a better understanding of what to do when faced with life’s adversities. Kate encourages us to awaken the spirit within us so we may reflect and recognize who we really are. This transformation will lead us to the true and everlasting joy we were meant to experience and the purpose we were born for. This startling freedom will emerge and strengthen us – changing our perception of everything and everyone around us so we can all enjoy a better life. Key to this book is Kate’s wish for readers to share the love, putting the knowledge of who we are into the hands of many.

This is a book that will hold the reader’s attention from start to finish. It’s a story of courage, determination, control, anger, jealousy, and love. Alma, the main protagonist, was injured during the Blitz in East London when half her house fell on top of the air-raid shelter also killing her father and her sister. That experience coloured the rest of her life. Alma and the family moved to Poplar (‘Call the Midwife’ country) in 1947. By 1951, they’d been re-housed to a Council House in Grundy Street where they stayed until 1981. East end life was important to them, but Alma always had aspirations to move back to Hornchurch in Essex and the surrounding areas where most of her family lived. George, Alma’s husband, was born and bred in Poplar in the East End – a true Cockney. His attitude was, ‘I’ll leave the East End feet first!’ However, his daughter Linda’s medical needs meant that she could no longer climb the stairs after major back surgery. So they had to move and Alma’s ambition was realised, but little did they know that Linda would eventually meet and fall in love with Ralph, and that despite her disabilities, she would get married and achieve great things with her husband.

A Psychiatric Evaluation of Donald Trump Many people believe that Donald Trump has mental health issues. As evidence of his mental instability, in December 2016, an article in the Huffington Post featured a letter by three distinguished professors of psychiatry who claim that Donald Trump suffers from “grandiosity, impulsivity, hypersensitivity to slights or criticism, and an apparent inability to distinguish between fantasy and reality.” Other experts have said that he is suffering from malignant narcissism, which results in antisocial behavior, among other things. More evidence is provided in this work about a potentially unstable President.

Preface Every child over the age of three knows the difference between a truth and a lie, but that line becomes blurred as we grow older and gain more experience. Wading through the murky waters of adult life soon reveals an uncomfortable fact: one man's truth may be another man's lie. How are we as individuals meant to navigate this choppy sea of life without so much as a solid truth to steer by? The answer lies in this book, Truthlies: Life Lessons from the Person Who Knows You Best. No one knows you better than you know yourself, and Truthlies helps you organize the scattered bits of wisdom you have collected from the sages in your life into a clear-cut strategic mentor framework. Step by step, the Truthlies framework will lead you through the process of self-reflection and self-examination to uncover your truths and your lies, to simplify your life, and to find your way to your own Promised Land. Truthlies details my personal spiritual journey. This is the story of how I learned about life. This year marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the passing of my first strategic mentor, my grandfather. He and the rest of the village of my extended family that raised me filled my waking moments with invaluable wisdom that I am driven to pass along to readers. Drawing upon these teachings and the knowledge I have gained as a college graduate with a background in economics, I weave together financial concepts such as cost-benefit analysis with faith-based teachings to lead readers on their journey to more fulfilling lives....

Our Human Herds presents a new theory in moral and political philosophy, called "dual morality." The theory proposes that just as the physical senses of sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing evolved to help us navigate our physical environment, two independent moral senses evolved to guide us to success in our social world. One prioritizes cooperation; the other, competition. The first bases moral justification on the egalitarianism that emphasizes our equal worth; the other finds moral justification in the inequalities that allow us to distinguish better from worse. "Liberal" and "conservative" are merely the names given to the political manifestations of these two forms of moral expression, just as "socialist" and "capitalist" describe their economic manifestations, and "personality" and "character" their psychological ones. Our Human Herds addresses what it means to be a human being, why we fight about the things that divide us, and why we unite behind the ideas that draw us together. The book examines all aspects of human social behavior, revealing how and why we often disagree in our approaches to education, history, war, crime, pleasure, happiness, politics, science and religion. "This is a learned, thoroughly researched study - and dazzlingly bright. The effervescent approach to writing makes its pages fly by ... Studies as brilliant as this one deserve a far wider audience. An engrossing and mind-expanding examination of morality" -Kirkus Reviews Book Review: A vast philosophical study charts the shifting moral landscape while tackling the weightiest question of human existence: what is the meaning of life? Humanity’s moral framework remains in a constant state of reconstruction. As the author points out in his opening chapter: “Two hundred years ago if a woman was raped and became pregnant we’d kill the rapist and spare the baby. Today, we spare rapist and kill the baby. Centuries ago many cultures condoned polygamy; today we put people in jail for it.” Over the course of this weighty tome, which is just shy of 1,000 pages, the author ponders what morality is (with an emphasis on humans as grouping or “herding” creatures) and the causes of its flux and reflux. Furthermore, there is an attempt to reconcile opposing philosophical theories by introducing a new conceptual model called “Dual Morality,” proposed as an “all-encompassing blueprint of human morality.” The study is logically structured, divided into four sections: “The Theory of Dual Moralism,” “The Explanation” (including investigations of the group and the self), “The Derivations” (which considers family, country, religion, and science/nature/technology), and finally “The Extrapolations” (a far-reaching look at everything from pleasure and happiness to suicide, murder, and abortion). The author possesses the rare skill of being able to explore himself with an enviable ease, drawing on palatable references to popular culture. For example: “Comedian Woody Allen said he laughs at his own jokes when they first come to him because humor originates in the unconscious. When his conscious mind hears them for the first time, it is as if they came from another place, and so we are, in a way, an audience to our own humor.” This approach, applied throughout, makes complex ideas not only accessible, but entertaining and enjoyable as well. The result is far from the predictable, dry academic thesis. This is a learned, thoroughly researched study—and dazzlingly bright. The effervescent approach to writing makes its 951 pages fly by. Fritz’s dedication is to “that miniscule fragment of humanity who read books like this.” Studies as brilliant as this one deserve a far wider audience. An engrossing and mind-expanding examination of morality. -- Kirkus Indie, Kirkus Media LLC, 6411 Burleson Rd., Austin, TX 78744 indie@kirkusreviews
