    Compact INTRODUCING guide on the debates surrounding psychoanalysis's most contested figure. Freud is universally recognised as a pivotal figure in modern culture. Yet the man and his work continually attract scandal, outrage and scientific suspicion. Was he a psychological genius or a peddler of humbug? Despite his atheism, did he invent a new religious cult? Is he to blame for disguising the prevalence of sexual abuse? Is there an Oedipus Complex? Was he a drug addict? A wittily illustrated glimpse behind the demonised myths to the heart of a red-hot debate.

    DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
    This is a summary, & it does not accompany the official 
    In "Good Inside" by Becky Kennedy, parents are offered a transformative perspective and practical tools to shift from feelings of frustration and self-blame to empowerment and confident leadership in parenting. Dr. Becky challenges the traditional model of child-rearing, which relies on rewards, punishments, and behavior modification techniques that often fail to address children's complex emotional needs and long-term skill development. Instead, she introduces a profound and simple truth: both parents and children have inherent goodness within them. There are no "bad kids" or "bad parents"; there are only good kids struggling and good parents striving to fulfill their roles effectively. 
    Dr. Becky advocates for a shift in focus from discipline to connection, emphasizing the importance of secure attachment in helping children navigate challenging times. "Good Inside" serves as both a manifesto and a practical guide, promoting self-development for parents alongside child development. It provides strategies for shifting perspectives and offers troubleshooting advice for specific parenting scenarios, such as sibling rivalry, separation anxiety, tantrums, and more. This book empowers a generation of parents to raise their children in a way that fosters resilience, confidence, and self-regulation, all while recognizing and nurturing the innate goodness in themselves and their kids.

    Corporate accountability is never far from the front page, and as one of the world’s most elite business schools, Harvard Business School trains many of the future leaders of Fortune 500 companies.  But how does HBS formally and informally ensure faculty and students embrace proper business standards? Relying on his first-hand experience as a Harvard Business School faculty member, Michel Anteby takes readers inside HBS in order to draw vivid parallels between the socialization of faculty and of students.  In an era when many organizations are focused on principles of responsibility, Harvard Business School has long tried to promote better business standards. Anteby’s rich account reveals the surprising role of silence and ambiguity in HBS’s process of codifying morals and business values. As Anteby describes, at HBS specifics are often left unspoken; for example, teaching notes given to faculty provide much guidance on how to teach but are largely silent on what to teach. Manufacturing Morals demonstrates how faculty and students are exposed to a system that operates on open-ended directives that require significant decision-making on the part of those involved, with little overt guidance from the hierarchy. Anteby suggests that this model—which tolerates moral complexity—is perhaps one of the few that can adapt and endure over time.Manufacturing Morals is a perceptive must-read for anyone looking for insight into the moral decision-making of today’s business leaders and those influenced by and working for them.

    Education: Does God Have an Opinion? is a Scriptural guide designed to help you disciple and educate your children in agreement with God’s Word. Many Christians believe God doesn’t care about how children are schooled or the methods of education that are employed. This book uses the Bible to prove otherwise. 
     
    Author and speaker, Israel Wayne, faithfully applies the teaching of Scripture to the issue of education to see what God has to say about this vital topic. Within these pages, Christian parents will find a truly biblical philosophy of education and learn to strategically and systematically apply it to core subjects. 
     
    There is almost no topic that is as relevant to the future of Christianity or as controversial as the education of children. Students in school classrooms spend thousands of hours being instructed by people who are not their parents. Truths about God, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and the inerrancy of the Bible are most often stripped from the curricula used to teach them. The anti-God misinformation campaign of public schools works directly against the faith you are responsible to build into your children’s lives through discipleship. There is almost no way to calculate the power and influence this has on your family and their eternity. 
     
    The future of your child’s education and, therefore, his or her life is ultimately in your hands as a parent. Education: Does God Have an Opinion? will give you discernment helping you understand how the One True God sees the issue of education.
