    Fostering Mutual Empathy

    Dr. Patel’s personal experience from an Indian heritage to living in Africa, the United Kingdom and finally moving to America at the age of 26 years, transformed her into a global citizen. As a licensed, practicing psychiatrist with over 25 years of experience working with both children and adults, she provides guidance about healthy relationships and parenting issues. She is enthusiastic about basic tenets of personal responsibility and leaving behind a positive legacy. Between 2018 and 2020, major events profoundly shaped American life. The nation faced a surge in mass shootings at schools, nightclubs, and malls; widespread protests and race riots; and the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement, which sought to combat racism and anti-Black violence. Catastrophic disasters—including wildfires, floods, and other climate-related emergencies—further strained communities. The Covid-19 pandemic brought unprecedented challenges, with political divisions emerging over public health measures and personal freedoms. During this turbulent period, many Americans lost their sense of compassion for one another. Mental health concerns grew as people experienced increased isolation, depression, anxiety, and overwhelm. Social norms deteriorated, and extreme anger often surfaced between those with differing viewpoints. Her books aim to inspire future generations to develop greater tolerance and resilience in the face of ongoing social, economic, and political upheaval. https://drshilapatel.com/ http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

    Understanding The Economic Systems That Shape Our World

    Few issues are more relevant today than the relationship between government and the economy. Yet, terms like socialism, fascism, and capitalism are often used by political and public figures without clear definitions or understanding. Grasping the true meaning of these systems is essential for Americans to make informed decisions about taking care of their families. In Why Socialism Struggles, economic policy expert Doug Cardell brings clarity, logic, and evidence to this contentious debate. Presented in an engaging question-and-answer format, the book simplifies complex economic concepts and addresses the most common and frequently misunderstood—questions about socialism: What is socialism, really? Why does it keep resurfacing in public discourse? Has it ever succeeded? Drawing on decades of research, historical examples, and real-world data, Cardell demonstrates why socialism consistently results in inefficiency and the loss of individual freedoms. Each answer builds toward a compelling conclusion: Despite its theoretical appeal, socialism fails in practice because it overlooks fundamental aspects of human behavior, incentives, and the crucial role of prices in coordinating economic activity. He is the author of Why Socialism Struggles: Exposing the Economic Errors That Undermine Utopian Ideals.  https://dougcardell.com/ http://www.yourlotandparcel.org
