But then you were taught to suppress that power, to follow the rules, to wait your turn, to not make waves.

Superpower
Author: Ian Bremmer
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0143109707
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
Bestselling author and strategist Ian Bremmer argues that Washington’s directionless foreign policy has become expensive and dangerous. Since the end of the Cold War, the U.S. has stumbled from crisis to crisis in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Syria, and Ukraine with no clear strategy. Bremmer urges us to think more deeply about what sort of role America should play and how it should use its superpower status. He explores three competing options: • Independent America: America should no longer take responsibility for solving other people’s problems, and instead should lead by example. • Moneyball America: Washington can’t meet every international challenge, but we can and should focus on opportunities and defend U.S. interests where they’re threatened. • Indispensable America: Only America can defend the values on which global stability increasingly depends. We will never live in a stable world while others are denied their most basic freedoms. There are sound arguments for and against each of these choices, but we must choose. Washington can no longer improvise a foreign policy without a lasting commitment to a coherent strategy.

YOU ARE MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU’VE EVER REALIZED We are raised to believe in strict limits on who we are. But there is a greater truth—and a greater you. In Your Super Powers!, Joseph Murphy, the groundbreaking author of The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, teaches you how to take a whole new measure of your abilities. You have no limits. Murphy writes, other than those imposed by your thoughts: new ideas are transformative power that reshape your existence. In seven selected writings, Murphy reveals the powers of your mind waiting to be refined, honed, and used, so that you can knowingly shape your world, rather than be shaped by chronic, rambling, and runaway thoughts. The very hunger that you feel for change is what sets your self-discovery in motion. This collection, part of a new series called Joseph Murphy’s Golden Lessons, is edited and introduced by popular voice of esoteric spirituality Mitch Horowitz. It includes Mitch’s short bio of Murphy and a timeline of the teacher’s life. “Desire, need, hunger—do you feel these things right now”, Mitch askes in his introduction. “You must if you picked up this book. Good. Those are the impulses that summon you to your super-self.”
