This book is a spiritual journey of self-discovery for those open-minded and willing to embrace the truth, even if it means confronting deep-rooted false beliefs inherited from our ancestors. It is a call to step out of the comfort of blissful ignorance and into the light of personal enlightenment. Ignoring the truth may provide temporary solace, but it can lead to greater despair and fear in the long term. This existential gap is usually filled with religions, myths, and legends; however, these stories may not be entirely factual. Nevertheless, they provide solace and a sense of purpose in life, so they are often considered well-intentioned, pious fiction. Many desire to know the truth, but few are genuinely prepared to handle it. This book challenges many core beliefs and convictions held as accurate; it may lead to existential conflict. As King Solomon wisely said, “For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief” (Ecclesiastes 1:18). These words resonate with the essence of this book, inviting you to embark on a journey of self-discovery and truth-seeking. It highlights the transformative potential of this process, as those who can confront the truth honestly undergo a psychological catharsis—a liberation of erroneous assumptions. Thus, this book is not for the faint of heart. More than 2,500 years ago, Buddha stated that life is an illusion, and today’s most accurate science, quantum physics, asserts that we live in virtual reality. The truth can challenge our deepest convictions and induce confusion because we live based on false assumptions imposed by our ancestors, mass media, outdated education systems, and traditional erroneous beliefs.

If you take an interest in military and national security affairs, you have probably read the works of Clausewitz, Sun Tzu, and Thucydides. But what about the books of the underappreciated military strategist Theodor Geisel, also known as Dr. Seuss? Until Dr. Seuss & National Security, the military aspect of Ted Geisel’s biography and his books have been overlooked by scholars and critics alike. Yet Dr. Seuss books possess direct relevance to national security in part because Ted Geisel’s service in the the US Army during WWII made a lasting impact on his worldview. Numerous traces of Ted Geisel’s intense and dangerous wartime experiences can be found in his children’s books. Tucked in between bright and vivid drawings of imaginary animals and whimsical settings, the reader may sometimes encounter foreboding dark forests, ariel bombardment, ruthless authority figures, and other evocations of military life. Each of the chapters in this edited volume employs a Dr. Seuss book to illuminate a national security topic. For example, Oh, the Places You’ll Go helps us understand grand strategy in outer space, I Had Trouble Getting to Solla Sollew puts new light on Clausewitz’s concept of the fog of war, and Hunches in Bunches can be seen as a primer on military intelligence. By using beloved childhood stories to illuminate national security topics, this book offers an entertaining way to approach complex topics that can be understood by specialists and non‐experts alike.

If you are a skilled legal professional, you know incivility within the profession has reached epidemic proportions. James H. Fierberg spent almost forty years practicing law at the highest levels, and he suggests the profession can solve the problem by paying attention to something it has mostly ignored: mentoring lawyers. In fact, he argues that mentoring programs can help to elevate save the profession and also remove some of the world’s rampant toxicity. He answers questions such as: • How can firms urge an early and comprehensive mindful moral inventory of new attorneys? • What can firms do to help lawyers cultivate positive interpersonal skills and progress in the legal profession? • What can senior lawyers do to nurture a legacy for themselves, their firms, and their brands? Mindful mentors must not only commit to teaching mentees—they must encourage them to come to terms with exactly who they are, how they got to this point, and how they will establish themselves in the community of law moving forward.
