Journey of an apprentice pilgrim...

FELIPE CHAVARRO POLANÍA

We present a heartfelt tribute to what many call vocation or purpose. Join me in the journey of a young man, Kadmiel, as he ventures through various trades in search of his true calling, reflecting the experiences shared by millions worldwide, as Vicki Robin eloquently conveyed in her book, "The Stock Market or Life." Some find their passion early on and follow a steady path, while others, like Kadmiel, zigzag through a dozen jobs, always moving forward. 
However, this work serves a dual purpose. Beyond just Kadmiel's tale, it aims to awaken us from the slumber of life's vicious cycle. Most of us find ourselves trapped in the belief that work solely exists to pay the bills, inadvertently forgetting the essential question: What about our happiness? Vicki Robin's words beautifully encapsulate this scenario - if the daily grind truly brought us joy and a sense of fulfillment, the trials and inconveniences would be a minor price to pay. But increasingly, it's evident that money doesn't guarantee the happiness we seek beyond a certain level of comfort. 
If this resonates with you in any way, this book is meant for you. It delves into the quest for meaning and happiness that many of us find ourselves on.

The TV That Owned Danny - A...

Amir Rimer

Danny adores his old TV. It’s rusty, outdated, and beyond his control—but it has been his loyal companion for years. He’s spent countless hours immersed in its endless stream of entertainment, from lighthearted comedies to gripping documentaries. Yet, there’s one thing he can’t stand: the horror films. 
They creep onto his screen when he least expects them, playing relentlessly during his moments of relaxation. He can’t change the channel. He can’t turn them off. All he can do is endure. As much as these films terrify him, Danny remains paralyzed by an even greater fear—the unknown. The idea of replacing his TV, of stepping outside his comfort zone, feels more terrifying than the nightmares playing before his eyes. 
Why does he cling to what torments him? Can he ever break free from this eerie cycle, or will he remain a prisoner of his own fears? 
A haunting and thought-provoking psychological short story, The TV That Owned Danny explores the human tendency to hold on to what is familiar, even when it brings us suffering. If you love suspenseful, mind-bending tales that make you question reality, this audio book is for you. 
Are you ready to step into Danny’s world?
