The Power of the
Possible
Confusion and hurt and anger prevent us from seeing the truth: Nothing changes until we change. Relationship expert Auriela McCarthy’s life-changing new book tells us "We must lose the battle of being right to win the war of being happy". With compassion and rare clarity of insight, McCarthy tells the stories of ordinary people who have reached their breaking point: a woman married to an alcoholic who will not stop drinking, a mother facing an impossible choice, a woman dying of cancer seeking to forgive her cheating husband, a son who must open his heart to forgiveness. The people in these stories hit rock bottom before they learn to stop struggling — that they can’t change other people’s behaviours, but only their own. This creates extraordinary changes in their lives. These are stories of human triumph, but their triumph is not of will, but of surrender. The Power of the Possible uses the ancient tradition of storytelling as a way to heal the pain of your heart and teach you how to make powerful changes in your own life. These stories will challenge your thinking, bring tears to your eyes, and astonish you with their unexpected endings. And they will change you in profound ways as you realize that each story about you. Politics Triumphs
Economics?
The mentioned premise constitutes the starting point of this volume compiled by CUTS, as a part of a project entitled the Competition, Regulation and Development Research Forum (CDRF), which is a compendium of studies devoted to characterizing the state of the world in regulation in developing countries and identifying the political economy and governance constraints that often frustrate the successful implementation of regulatory laws in the developing world. Such detailed identification of constraints is necessary if we are to solve the puzzle of how regulatory objectives/ provisions that look so good on paper end up being so ineffective in practice.

WE
all have a friend, relative, or loved one who makes choices we don't
understand. The more advice we give them, the more they stubbornly stay
the same. So what are we give them, the more they stubbornly stay the
same. So what are we doing wrong? Why have our relationships become so
difficult? Why do our loved ones resist our help, even though we are
sure that we know what's best for them?
The
last two decades have been marked by a sea change in the world of
regulation — regulatory laws which facilitate the creation of
independent regulators have been passed in many countries, both
developed and developing. However, it has been observed that mere
adoption of regulatory laws is a necessary but not a sufficient
condition for changes in regulatory/economic outcomes. Implementation
often constitutes the crucial difference between success and failure and
this is particularly true in developing countries.
