We know that we must change ourselves and the world if we want to survive. So why do we cling to old habits and false certainties instead of embracing change now? In New Beginnings, Stefan Klein delves into the most pressing problems facing our world from the climate crisis to the rapid development of artificial intelligence and investigates why individuals and societies often resist necessary changes, despite knowing the risks of inaction. Blending scientific insights with vivid storytelling, Klein unpacks the psychological and social forces that keep us stuck, and identifies what he calls the seven illusions about progress that hinder our ability to adapt. Central to his analysis is the idea that transformation is not only necessary but also achievable, provided we understand the mechanisms of change and embrace a mindset that values adaptability. New Beginnings stands out for its ability to make complex global challenges comprehensible and relatable. With his trademark clarity and optimism, Klein inspires belief that necessary change is not only possible but accessible for a sustainable future. Autorid: Stefan Klein, David Shaw
The Kolbrin incorporates a body of enlightened teachings that are a treasure of the centuries, a light on the path of Truth, and as relevant to the world today as they were in the past. The majority of what is presented here was actually salvaged from a pile of discarded manuscripts that had been partially burned and weathered.The Kolbrin is concerned with goodness and virtue, courage and mortality, spiritual ideals and human aspirations. It seeks to enshrine love in a place beyond the clamor and craving of mortal flesh, which may be enough to condemn it. The Masters can only record the results of their own searching in the Kolbrin. They discovered assurance but are unable to share it with others. If others want it, they must follow in the footsteps of the Masters, which is a long and winding road not for the faint of heart. The first step on that path is to research the required moral code and standards of conduct. The next step is to put these into action and make them the rule of life. They are the disciplines that allowed the truly enlightened ones of the past to awaken inner perception and make direct contact with The Universal Source of Truth. Only by following in their footsteps can anyone be assured of a path certain of reaching the desired goal. The Kolbrin incorporates a body of enlightened teachings that are a treasure of the centuries, a light on the path of Truth, and as relevant to the world today as they were in the past. The majority of what is presented here was actually salvaged from a pile of discarded manuscripts that had been partially burned and weathered. Some of the manuscripts were transcribed onto thin metal plates at some point and became known as 'The Bronzebook of Britain.' Manuscripts that were traditionally thought to have been copied from salvaged manuscripts that were not transcribed on metal plates and formed a work known as 'The Coelbook' are included. During the second and third decades of the twentieth century, these books were in the hands of a religious group in England that was never very powerful because membership requirements were too stringent. The Kolbrin appears to have been on the verge of extinction throughout history, but it has survived thanks to a few people who had no idea what it was all about, who were neither intellectual nor wealthy, and for whom the practicalities of life took precedence. Originally, there were twenty-one books, which were said to be twelve books of Britain, eight books of Egypt, and one of the Trojans, but their names are uncertain. Only a portion of these books remain, and it appears that much of the historical content has been removed.The significance of what is presented here lies in what is projected from the past into the present lamentable spiritual vacuum; in the assistance it can provide to ordinary men and women, not in what it offers to the literary world. These writings must be evaluated solely on this basis. Any knowledge's worth is determined by its utility in the present moment. We know from later books of the Kolbrin that its contents had to be kept secret for centuries because they could have been misunderstood or found unacceptable. Perhaps they will fare better now.The Masters can only record the results of their own searching in the Kolbrin. They discovered assurance but are unable to share it with others.

A revelatory account of the racist conspiracy theory that now pervades global politics from the prize-winning author of the million-copy bestseller How To Be an Antiracist An essential framework for parsing current events . . . meticulously researched . . . worthwhile and accessible . . . also offers a modicum of hope Arwa Mahdawi, Guardian Throughout the world, authoritarian movements are radically reshaping our politics and our lives. At the heart of them all lies great replacement theory, which insists that peoples of colour, migrants and minorities are being deliberately empowered to displace white majorities. In Chain of Ideas, Ibram X. Kendi shows how this conspiracy theory has mutated from the extremist fringe into a global ideology, embraced by leaders as varied as Marine Le Pen, Viktor Orbán, Narendra Modi, Jair Bolsonaro, Nigel Farage, Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump. He traces its historic roots in slavery, segregation, colonialism and Nazism, and shows how these age-old prejudices have been dressed in new language for a digital age. But this is not a book about extremists on the margins. From Anders Breiviks massacre to the chants of the Charlottesville marchers, from Brexit slogans to the Christchurch shooting, Kendi shows how these ideas have crossed borders, inspired terror and are now re-shaping parties of government. Chain of Ideas is a penetrating history of how reactionary ideas have been repackaged as common sense, and how they shape the globe today. PRAISE FOR IBRAM X.
