“Jenkins’ rare combination of psychological theorizing and archival research in several countries and time periods yields a fascinating new take on the central question of when states over-estimate or under-estimate others’ resolve. The biases that leaders and elites fall prey to appear to vary with their emotional states and senses of well-being, factors that most scholars have ignored.”—Robert Jervis, author of How Statesmen Think This groundbreaking book explains how the happiness levels of leaders, politicians and diplomats affect their assessments of the resolve of their state’s adversaries and allies. Its innovative methodology includes case studies of the origins of twelve wars with Anglo-American involvement from 1853 to 2003 and the psycholinguistic text mining of the British Hansard and the U.S. Congressional Record. /div

“A remarkable book, from its title and subtitle to its last words . . . A stirring indictment of American sentimentality about war.” —Robert G. Kaiser, The Washington Post In Looking for the Good War, Elizabeth D. Samet reexamines the literature, art, and culture that emerged after World War II, bringing her expertise as a professor of English at West Point to bear on the complexity of the postwar period in national life. She exposes the confusion about American identity that was expressed during and immediately after the war, and the deep national ambivalence toward war, violence, and veterans—all of which were suppressed in subsequent decades by a dangerously sentimental attitude toward the United States’ “exceptional” history and destiny. Samet finds the war's ambivalent legacy in some of its most heavily mythologized figures: the war correspondent epitomized by Ernie Pyle, the character of the erstwhile G.I. turned either cop or criminal in the pulp fiction and feature films of the late 1940s, the disaffected Civil War veteran who looms so large on the screen in the Cold War Western, and the resurgent military hero of the post-Vietnam period. Taken together, these figures reveal key elements of postwar attitudes toward violence, liberty, and nation—attitudes that have shaped domestic and foreign policy and that respond in various ways to various assumptions about national identity and purpose established or affirmed by World War II. As the United States reassesses its roles in Afghanistan and the Middle East, the time has come to rethink our national mythology: the way that World War II shaped our sense of national destiny, our beliefs about the use of American military force throughout the world, and our inability to accept the realities of the twenty-first century’s decades of devastating conflict.

A beautiful young woman. An American soldier. A war-torn country. Nearly forty years of silence. Now, two daughters search for the truth they hope will set them free and the elusive peace their parents have never found. In the South Carolina Lowcountry, a young mother named Katherine Ann is struggling to help her tempestuous father by plunging into a world of secrets he never talks about. A fry cook named Lisa is trying desperately to reach her grieving Vietnamese mother who has never fully adjusted to life in the States. And somewhere far away, a lost soul named Ernest is drifting, treading water, searching for what he lost on a long-ago mountain. They're all yearning for connection. For the war that touched them to finally end. For their hundred years of happiness at long last to begin. From the beloved author of The Spirit of Sweetgrass and Trouble the Water comes this generous story of family, war, loss, and longing . . . of the ways we hide from those we love, and the ways that love finds us anyway.

"Creation of Happiness: The Energy War "is about learning to harness our mind power to create happiness in life, just as we harness a horse to reach a desired direction. It has been written in alignment with the coming of the new age. There is an ever-increasing need for human beings to rise above stress and anxiety as predominant states of mind. In spite of all our efforts to find peace, depression, diseases, and negative thinking patterns have been rising. Though we have been trying to achieve happiness, our traditional methods of achieving success have not helped much in increasing happiness within our hearts. "The Energy War "explains how we can balance our soul needs with physical desires. When a technique of pursuit does not work, we have to change it. Since positivity in the world has not risen with our pursuit of technological innovations, we need to change our thinking from the core to find happiness through our methods of pursuit. The book attempts to bring spirituality into the world of logic and science. It stresses the need to reset our education systems and health systems so that they cater to the needs of the soul, while addressing the needs of the body. The Energy War is between energies of positive life force and dark forces of negativity. Happiness is a positive energy. For happiness to come in our life, positive expectation has to overcome the negative energy we encounter in our lives. With each choice we make on how to feel, happiness, peace, and contentment have to rule over worry, gloom, fear, loneliness, or resentment. "Creation of Happiness: The Energy War is a soul experience. It explains, with suitable examples and illustrations, the karmic debt and the purpose of incarnations for the progressive evolution of the soul through learning. Written in a simple language, it is easily understandable to even laymen. The thoughtful inclusion of self-help exercises at the end is indeed pragmatic." -Professor P. Uma Devi, PhD, FNASc, CHt, clinical hypnotherapist and past-life therapist, Director, Institute of Clinical Hypnosis, Trichur, Kerala, India

No fluff, no nonsense, and no empty promises. Stop chasing happiness. Instead, build a strong foundation within yourself and happiness will come to you. A key component to happiness is strength. Life can get stormy and knock you down. The more you get knocked down the harder it is to get back up. When you build a strong foundation within yourself you remain standing in the face of adversity and hardship. When you are strong you don't allow conditions to dictate your happiness. With the knowledge contained in this book you can learn how to: * Bring happiness into your life * Let go of whatever is holding you back * Make peace with the past * Take a different approach to life * Control your emotions * Find strength within * Break free from addictions * Get healthy physically and mentally * Improve your relationships * Have a more fulfilling work life * Start achieving your goals The brain is a beautiful thing that has infinite potential to learn, understand, and create, but it can also be a minefield. When we understand why we are the way we are and how our brain works we regain control. We have the power to change thought and behavioral patterns. We can learn to have power over our emotions and not let them have power over us. We can imprison our happiness with conditions or we can be happy unconditionally. Make the best of life now, don't wait, tomorrow may never come. You are the light at the end of the tunnel. Shine brightly and you will see the way out.

This book focuses on what makes people happy. The author explains methods for measuring subjective life satisfaction and well-being by discussing economic and sociodemographic factors, as well as the psychological, cultural and political dimensions of personal happiness. Does higher income increase happiness? Are people in rich countries, such as the United States, the United Kingdom and Scandinavian countries, happier than those living elsewhere? Does losing one’s job make one unhappy? What is the role of genetic endowments inherited from our parents? How important are physical and emotional health to subjective life satisfaction? Do older people tend to be happier, or younger people? Are close social relationships necessary for happiness? Do political conditions, such as respect for human rights, democracy and autonomy, play a part? How can governments contribute to the population’s happiness? This book answers these questions on the basis of extensive interdisciplinary research reflecting the current state of knowledge. The book will appeal to anyone interested in learning more about the various dimensions of personal well-being beyond the happiness-prosperity connection, as well as to policymakers looking for guidance on how to improve happiness in societies.
