Do you want more optimism, confidence, resilience and motivation?Then this book is for you! We currently live in a time of unprecedented challenges, uncertainty, overwhelming stress, loss of hope at times and a need for mental strength and adaptability to a new way of life. Traditional 'positive thinking', trying to constantly tell yourself that everything is OK, no matter the circumstances, just isn't enough to make any lasting difference. After 30 years working as a therapist, Paul McKenna has developed a unique approach – one that can guide you towards an all-round feeling of positivity – putting you into optimal states of mind, building up your resilience and enabling good decisions and actions that lead to successful results in life. There is now irrefutable scientific evidence that shows that particular ways of thinking and acting produce tangible positive results in people's ability to deal with challenges and their overall quality of life.The research also shows that this mindset can be learned quickly just like any habit. And that is why this book is a practical psychological system in how to survive and thrive – how to discover your own natural most powerful resources for self-care, self-belief and for taking control of your life.

Identity, Self-Determination and Secession
Engaging with a range of interconnected and highly topical issues of identity, self-determination and secession, this book examines the import and implications of 'identity claims', and looks into 'identity politics' motivated by such claims, which is becoming ever more salient in democratic and culturally and ethnically heterogeneous states.It discusses nationalism as an important component of identity of individuals and groups, and a position that generates claims of self-determination and secession on the part of ethnic and cultural groups.It also examines patriotism, which until recently seemed to be on the wane, but has undergone a dramatic revival after the terrorist attacks in the US on 11 September 2001 and the start of a global 'war on terror'.The book offers a typology of facets of patriotism, an assessment of its moral standing, and a critique of the beliefs about the patria it characteristically involves.Also discussed are topics such as political liberalism vs. 'identity liberalism', the ways a liberal society should treat nonliberal communities within it, the role of heritage and remembrance in national identity, the status of national minorities as an issue of equality, arrangements concerning indigenous peoples and intrastate autonomy as an alternative to secession, and whether secession can be a legal act.The book includes contributions by prominent philosophers and political and legal theorists from Australia, Canada, Israel, and the United States.

Breaking Away : Kosovo’s Unilateral Secession
This book presents the background that led to Kosovo’s success in separating from Serbia and explains the reasons for its failure to achieve uncontested statehood—both internally and externally.It sheds light to the process of Kosovo’s secession starting from its first unsuccessful attempt to secede in 1991and continuing to the present day.It shows how long and at the same time how lucky its secession was: Kosovo was eventually at the right place and the right time, being geographically located in Europe and having secured the support of the US at the time of its absolute supremacy in the international affairs.However, as this supremacy declined, Kosovo’s progress in international affairs declined too.Ten years after its unilateral declaration of independence, it has yet to achieve UN membership and uncontested statehood, and Kosovo also faces shortcomings in its internal function as a state.This book provides a holistic approach towards Kosovo’s secession from an international relations point of view.It takes into consideration events that happened in different times and different places and shows that secession is not merely an act that takes place in one specific time and place.It is rather a process that spans over time and events at different levels of analysis shape its outcome.

Why is there no right to secession?
The right to secession is not universally recognized because it can lead to destabilization, conflict, and the violation of the rights of minority groups within the seceding entity. Allowing a right to secession could potentially encourage other groups to seek independence, leading to a breakdown of national unity and potentially violent conflict. Additionally, the international community generally upholds the principle of territorial integrity and sovereignty of states, which means that secession is often seen as a threat to the stability of the international system. As a result, the right to secession is not widely accepted and is often discouraged in order to maintain peace and stability.

What is the difference between secession and separation?
Secession refers to the act of a region or group within a country formally withdrawing from the country's political entity. This typically involves a legal process and may be based on grievances or a desire for greater autonomy. Separation, on the other hand, is a broader term that can refer to the act of dividing or breaking away from a larger entity, whether it be a country, organization, or group. While secession is a specific form of separation, separation can also encompass other forms of division or disassociation.
-
Are there secession movements in the USA as well?
Yes, there have been secession movements in the USA, particularly in the southern states. The most notable example is the secession of the southern states during the Civil War, which led to the formation of the Confederate States of America. In more recent times, there have been smaller secession movements in states like Texas and California, although these movements have not gained widespread support. Overall, secession movements in the USA have been relatively limited compared to other countries.
-
Will the secession of Saxony from the Federal Republic take place?
It is unlikely that the secession of Saxony from the Federal Republic of Germany will take place. The German constitution does not allow for the secession of individual states, and there is no significant political movement in Saxony advocating for secession. Additionally, the economic and political benefits of remaining part of the Federal Republic are likely to outweigh any potential advantages of secession. Therefore, it is improbable that Saxony will secede from the Federal Republic of Germany.

Czech Secession : Art and Architecture 1890–1914
A lavishly illustrated exploration of forward-looking Czech art around the turn of the twentieth century. Though it’s less widely heralded than Berlin and Vienna, 1890s Prague was every bit as much a fin-de-siècle cultural center as its Mittel European peers.At the end of the nineteenth century, the city found itself home to a fervent coterie of young visual artists all deliberately pushing against—indeed, seeking to secede from—the traditional artistic structures of the day. ? This book traces Czech Secessionist art from the turn of the twentieth century by following its three main stylistic schools: naturalistic-impressionistic, symbolist, and ornamental-decorative.Though these styles developed separately, their symbiotic relationship gives the art a deeper significance and disrupts the traditional understanding of Art Nouveau and Secessionist art as an eclectic decorative style that faded away at the beginning of the twentieth century.Illustrated with more than three hundred color plates, Czech Secession is a fittingly lush tribute to one city’s underappreciated and forward-looking artistic blossoming.

Can the annexation of Crimea also be referred to as secession?
The annexation of Crimea by Russia in 2014 cannot be referred to as secession because secession typically involves a region or territory breaking away from a larger country to form its own independent state. In the case of Crimea, it was a part of Ukraine and was annexed by Russia without the consent of the Ukrainian government. This action was widely condemned by the international community as a violation of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Therefore, the annexation of Crimea is more accurately described as an illegal occupation rather than a legitimate secession.

Does low voter turnout in democracies lead to ideas for secession movements?
Low voter turnout in democracies can potentially contribute to ideas for secession movements. When a significant portion of the population feels disenfranchised or disconnected from the political process due to low voter turnout, they may be more inclined to seek alternative forms of governance, such as secession. This can be especially true in regions where there is a strong sense of cultural or political identity that is not being adequately represented within the existing democratic system. However, it is important to note that low voter turnout is just one of many factors that can influence the rise of secession movements.

What is the difference between endurance and resilience?
Endurance refers to the ability to withstand challenges, difficulties, or hardships over a prolonged period of time without giving up. It involves staying power and perseverance in the face of obstacles. On the other hand, resilience is the capacity to bounce back from setbacks, adapt to change, and recover from adversity. Resilience involves the ability to maintain a positive outlook and continue moving forward despite facing difficult circumstances. In essence, endurance is about enduring challenges, while resilience is about bouncing back from them.

How can one develop self-confidence and resilience?
One can develop self-confidence and resilience by setting realistic goals and working towards achieving them. Building a support system of friends, family, or mentors can also help in boosting self-confidence and providing encouragement during challenging times. Additionally, practicing self-care, such as exercise, meditation, and positive self-talk, can contribute to developing resilience and the ability to bounce back from setbacks. Lastly, learning from failures and viewing them as opportunities for growth rather than as obstacles can help in building both self-confidence and resilience.
