The Politics of Citizens

This is a democracy textbook for adults. Dialogue and debate are essential for true democracy, but in today's society, dialogue and debate have disappeared, and conflicts have only become more complicated. This unfortunate situation was the motivation for writing this book. It delivers the minimum knowledge necessary for intellectual dialogue and debate. It takes a detailed look at democracy and authoritarian political systems, the flow of modern political ideologies such as liberalism, conservatism, and socialism, and various political institutions including the executive, legislative, judiciary, and elections.

Invitation to Inner Revolution IFS

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a newly spotlighted psychotherapy method. IFS is based on the premise that we are all essentially multiple personalities. It presents the concept of an inner family, meaning that multiple personalities coexist within us like a family. It understands the various thoughts and emotions we experience as different expressions of our inner personalities, and through the process of recognizing and understanding each thought and emotion as if dealing with a single personality, we can meet and understand our true selves.
