  Μπορείς να πεθάνεις καρφωμένος από ένα καλαμάκι, να σκοτωθείς από έναν γυμνοσάλιαγκα, να συντριβείς από μια αγελάδα που έπεσε από τον ουρανό, να δηλητηριαστείς από ένα καρότο ή να πνιγείς από ένα γέλιο; ΟΧΙ; Λοιπόν, ναι, είναι δυνατόν... Δυστυχώς. Θα ανακαλύψετε τους 100 πιο παράλογους και τραγικούς, ενίοτε αστείους, τρόπους θανάτου, που θα σας κάνουν να κρυώσετε και να χαμογελάσετε ταυτόχρονα. Κάθε ένα από αυτά είναι μια υπενθύμιση της αβάσταχτης ευθραυστότητας της ύπαρξης και της ανάγκης να αποφεύγεται η επικίνδυνη συμπεριφορά.

  "In this definitive - for the new generation - self-improvement guide, a superstar blogger reveals that the key to being happier is to stop trying to be ""positive"" all the time. Instead, we should become better at handling adversity.For decades, we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, prosperous life. ""Screw positivity,"" says Mark Manson. ""Let's be honest, sometimes things are just crap, and we have to live with it."" In his wildly popular blog, Mark Manson has been attempting to correct the misguided expectations we have about the world and ourselves. Now, he brings his hard-earned wisdom to this book.Manson argues - backed by academic research and razor-sharp humor - that improving our lives depends not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to better digest the lemons. As he writes, "Not everyone can be extraordinary - there are winners and losers in society. And it's not fair or our fault." Manson advises us to get to know our personal limitations and accept them. This, he says, is the real source of empowerment. Once we embrace our fears, flaws, and uncertainties - once we stop running and avoiding them and start confronting painful truths - we can find the courage and confidence we desperately seek."In life, we have a limited amount of fucks to give. So, we need to choose wisely where to give them." Through meaningful, pain- and failure-derived insights, entertaining stories, and unexpected, vitriolic humor, Manson guides us out of the cycle of futile striving, false expectations, and self-pity. This manifesto is a refreshing slap in the face for all of us, so that we can start leading fuller, grounded lives.''

  Nausicaa, daughter of Alcinous, king of the Phaeacians, is asleep when Athena comes to her to suggest that she go down to the river the next morning, with her attendants. So the next morning Nausicaa persuades her parents to lend her a wagon to take clothes down to the river for washing.The party goes down to the washing pool. Nausicaa is about to fold and put away the clothing when the ship-wrecked Odysseus, who is asleep nearby, wakes up. He wonders where he is.Grabbing an olive branch to hide his modesty, he walks out, caked in salt from the sea and looking terrible. The attendants run away at sight of him, but Nausicaa stands her ground. Odysseus thinks that she might be a goddess, perhaps Artemis. He then tells her that he has been at sea for 20 days, harassed by the god Poseidon, and only came on shore the previous day. He asks Nausicaa for some clothes and if she can tell him how he can get to town.Nausicaa says fate is in Zeus’ hands, but that since Odysseus has reached her country, and she is the daughter of the king, she won't let him go without clothes. She tells her attendants not to be afraid, and to wash the stranger in the river. They give him clothes and an oil flask. He asks them to go away so he can bathe. Odysseus,washed and dressed, looks like a god. Nausicaa says she would like someone like him to be her husband. She tells her attendants to give him food and drink.Then Nausicaa packs up the wagon and tells Odysseus to follow behind, but that, to prevent scandal,he must stop at a grove that is sacred to Athena. He is to wait there until she gets back to the palace. Only then should he come out. He should then enter the city, find the palace, and look for Nausicaa's mother because, if Nausicaa's mother takes to him, all will be well and he will be helped to go on his way home.They set off, and reach the sacred grove that evening.(Summary by hefyd)
