  Simplicity cannot be found unless one is free inwardly - 24 July 1949 
  • Only when the mind and heart are really simple is one able to solve the many problems that confront us. 
  • A religious man is he who is inwardly simple. 
  • Q: I have been a member of various religious organizations but you have 
  destroyed them all. I am utterly bored and work because hunger forces me to 
  it. I am afraid to commit suicide. What on earth am I to do? 
  • Q: What have you to say to a person who, in quiet moments, sees the truth of 
  what you say, who has a longing to keep awake but who finds himself repeatedly lost in a sea of impulse and small desires?

  Afternoons with Harper Lee

  Wayne Flynt

  Imagine sitting with an esteemed writer on his or her front porch somewhere in the world and swapping life stories. Dr. Wayne Flynt got the opportunity to do just this with Nelle Harper Lee. In a friendship that blossomed over a dozen years starting when Lee relocated back to Alabama after having had a stroke, Flynt and his wife Dartie became regular visitors at the assisted living facility that was Lee's new home. And there the conversation began, with an invitation to "Come in, sit down, and stay a while." 
   
   
   
  The stories exchanged ranged widely over the topics of Alabama history, Alabama folklore, family genealogy, and American literature, of course. Wayne and his wife were often joined by Alice Lee, the oldest Lee sister, a living encyclopedia on the subject of family genealogy, and middle sister Louise Lee Conner. 
   
   
   
  The hours spent visiting, in intimate closeness, are still cherished by Wayne Flynt. They yielded revelations large and small, which have been shaped into Afternoons with Harper Lee. Part memoir, part biography, this book offers a unique window into the life and mind and preoccupations of one of America's best-loved writers. Flynt and Harper Lee and her sisters learned a great deal from each other, and though this is not a history book, their shared interest in Alabama and its history made this extraordinary work possible.

  This book is the premium edition of my book "Modern Iran and Ancient Persia"!
  This book is dedicated to the women's movement in Iran.
  If you announce that you are going to Iran, someone will certainly advise you not to go. Ignore them – this is one of the most exciting countries on Earth. There is much to discover, and explore in Iran, not only cultural and historical sites but mountains, deserts and wilderness.
  Above all, this is a place defined by the hospitality and curiosity of Iranians despite a totalitarian regime. According to Lonely Planet's Atlas of Adventure –  "it might well be the friendliest country you ever visit".
  The Persian Empire, which once stretched from Greece to India, has left remnants of an extraordinary rich cultural heritage not only in today's Iran but across the Ancient Empire. From Persepolis, the ancient capital of Persia, to the World Heritage sites in Esfahan and Yazd.
  With its 26 World Heritage Sites, Iran is one of the top 10 countries in the world that represent a masterpiece of human creativity and an exceptional testimony to human civilisation.
  It was 13,000 years ago on the Iranian plateau that Homo sapiens first settled with the advent of agriculture and the first permanent human settlement.
  Zoroastrianism, the world's first monotheistic religion, originated in Persia 4,000 years ago.
  The biblical Magi, also known as the Three Wise Men, were respected Zoroastrian astronomers who came from Persia to "visit" the baby Jesus on the night of his birth in Bethlehem!
  The game of chess as we play it today was invented in Iran about 2,000 years ago.
  The algorithm as we use it today in AI and computer science was invented 1,000 years ago in Iran.
  The stories of "Thousand and One Nights" are taken from the Persian Pahlavi work Hezār Afsān over a thousand years ago.
  With this book we will travel to all those wonderful places of 1001 Nights tales. This is our historical and cultural journey of two weeks to discover authentic places of those stories from our childhood!
  And Iran is a safe destination for tourists, despite a totalitarian regime!

  In this special deal, you get 2 books about ADHD, which are: 
  ADHD and Impulsivity - For individuals with ADHD, impulsivity is not merely a matter of poor decision-making—it is deeply rooted in the neurological underpinnings of the condition. The brain’s inability to regulate certain executive functions, such as impulse control, makes it harder for individuals to pause and think before acting. This can result in a range of consequences, from minor mishaps to more significant interpersonal or professional challenges. However, understanding the science behind impulsivity is only part of the equation. Recognizing how these impulses affect daily life and learning how to manage them is crucial for building a healthier, more balanced existence. 
  ADHD in School - In the classroom setting, ADHD can present a variety of challenges for both students and educators. Children with ADHD often struggle to stay focused on tasks, follow instructions, and maintain organizational systems. Their difficulty with impulse control can lead to frequent interruptions, inappropriate behaviors, and challenges in completing assignments. These behaviors are often misinterpreted as laziness, defiance, or a lack of intelligence, leading to frustration and misunderstanding for both the student and teacher.
