In the age of smartphones and high-speed internet, we are constantly connected. Our lives revolve around screens, from work emails to social media updates, from online shopping to binge-watching TV shows. We are living in a digital world, where every moment is captured, every thought tweeted, and every event live-streamed. But what if there's a downside to this constant connectivity? What if our digital devices are not just tools for communication and entertainment but also invisible chains that bind us? This book peels back the shiny veneer of the digital age to reveal a less glamorous ...

Children are not passive victims of oppression, but their resistance and struggle for equality has been largely ignored by the wider social justice movement—until now. In this groundbreaking manifesto, Eloise Rickman argues that it's time to stop viewing children as less than adults and start fighting for their rights to be taken seriously. Radical, compassionate, and profoundly hopeful, this powerful new book signals the start of a long-overdue conversation about how we treat children. It's Not Fair is a call to embrace children’s liberation and the possibility of a better, fairer world.

Socrates is condemned by the gods of Olympus to perpetual incarnations to atone for his suicide and to complete a mission he left unfulfilled in Ancient Greece. We meet him at the cusp of the 21st Century in the LAST CHANCE SALOON where he holds court in a final effort to redeem himself and to correct the ill-fated impressions of THE REPUBLIC.

More than any other philosophical treatise, THE REPUBLIC, and its notion of the philosopher king was twisted and misapplied by the tyrants of history. ...

In this comparison of the Montessori birth-to-three practices with those of the tradition of Bhutan, as always I completely respect the culture and often benefit from traditional wisdom. In conversations with parents and grandparents around the world where I have explored these questions, it has been very satisfying to learn, together, just when the traditions are truly helpful, and when they might be an example of cutting off the end of the ham to fit the pan, or shaping the child to fit a pre-conceived plan. Montessori education is, and has always been, based on observation and continued ...

Viajar con Susan Stephenson a través de su libro "El Niño Universal, Guiado por la Naturaleza" fue un placer. Ver como las prácticas Montessori se aplican a todas las culturas en la actualidad, y remarcar lo mencionado por María Montessori con la vivencia de Susan en varios paises, acompañada de las elocuentes fotografías que lo demuestran, generan en mí gran entusiasmo para seguir mi caminar por esta senda. Gracias por ser una fuente de inspiración.—AMI Montessori teacher, Paraguay y Colombia

Harvard-trained psychiatrist, expert in human motivation, and mother of three Dr. Shimi Kang provides a guide to the art and science of inspiring children to develop their own internal drive and lifelong personal aspirations.
