  “In this delightful autobiography, Smith tells us how he became the dean of world religion experts. Along the way we meet the people who shaped him and shared his journey—a Who’s Who of 20th century spiritual America: the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., the Dalai Lama, Aldous Huxley, Timothy Leary, T.S. Eliot, Thomas Merton and Pete Seeger.... A valuable master class on faith and life.” — San Francisco Chronicle Book Review  
  As Stephen Hawking is to science; as Peter Drucker is to economics; and as Joseph Campbell is to mythology; so Huston Smith is to religion. Tales of Wonder is the personal story of the author of the classic The World’s Religions, the man who taught a nation about the great faiths of the world, and his fascinating encounters with the people who helped shape the 20th century.

  There’s more to winning battles than fists and feet 
  For world-renowned professional fighter Georges St-Pierre, the greatest asset is not physical strength or athleticism—it’s a sense of purpose. From his beginnings as a small, mercilessly bullied child first discovering karate to his years as a struggling garbage collector who spent all his free time in the gym, his hard-fought rise in the sport of mixed martial arts, and his long, painful recovery from a career-threatening injury, Georges never lost sight of his ambition to become the greatest martial artist of all time. In The Way of the Fight, Georges for the first time reveals what propelled him not only to become a champion but to embrace obstacles as opportunities to build character. 
  Georges’s story is interwoven with fascinating insights from those who know him best: his mother, who tells of his drive to master new skills, even as a child. His mentor Kristof Midoux, who describes a young fighter with an extraordinary sense of discipline. His Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teacher John Danaher, who witnessed the development of an indomitable work ethic. His coach Firas Zahabi, who worked alongside the champion through a potentially career-ending injury. And his longtime friend, training partner and manager, Rodolphe Beaulieu, who may understand this intensely focused athlete more than anyone. 
  The Way of the Fight is an inspirational look into the mindset of a master. To Georges, all life is competition, and there’s no more perfect metaphor for competition than the life of a fighter. He explains the value of discipline, risk and even fear, with the wisdom of one who knows that nothing is assured—his next fight could always be his last. Drawing inspiration from fighting legends, Eastern philosophy and a trusted inner circle, The Way of the Fight is a powerful, life-changing guide to living with purpose and finding the way to accomplish your loftiest goals.

  General Douglas MacArthur and...

  Despite fighting in North Africa and the Atlantic, the United States still had the resources and manpower to fight the Japanese in the Pacific. Though the Japanese had crippled the American fleet at Pearl Harbor, its distance from Japan made an invasion of Pearl Harbor impossible, and Japan had not severely damaged important infrastructure. Thus, the United States was able to quickly rebuild a fleet, still stationed at Pearl Harbor right in the heart of the Pacific. This forward location allowed the United States to immediately push deeply into the Pacific theater. 
  The Americans would eventually push the Japanese back across the Pacific, and one of the most instrumental leaders in the effort was Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, who commanded the U.S. Pacific Fleet and helped coordinate joint operations with the legendary General Douglas MacArthur, the Supreme Commander, Southwest Pacific Area. 
  Today, Nimitz’s name doesn’t ring as many bells as his counterpart’s, because of all the military men America produced during the 19th and 20th centuries, it’s hard to find one as important, successful, and controversial as General MacArthur. The son of a Civil War veteran, MacArthur rose to become the most instrumental commander in the Pacific Theater during World War II. His legendary return to the Philippines in 1944 made good on one of the war’s most famous vows, and it was MacArthur who fittingly oversaw the occupation and reconstruction of Japan following the war. 
  Given his long and celebrated career, MacArthur was the obvious choice to lead the newly created United Nations’ troops during the Korean War, but his arguments over war strategy and policy eventually led to his controversial firing by President Harry Truman in 1951. After that, in his own words, he “faded away,” living out his remaining days on the top floor of the Waldorf Hotel until his death in 1964.

  The samurai way of life is guided by three core values - loyalty, honor, and respect. These principles are more than just words; they are the basis of a strict code of conduct that governs every aspect of a samurai's life. Loyalty is the foundation of the samurai's relationship with their lord. It is not just blind obedience but an unwavering sense of duty and honor that compels them to protect their lord at all costs. This bond is unbreakable and lasts beyond death. Honor is earned through acts of bravery and selflessness on the battlefield and maintained through strict adherence to the Bushido code. A samurai's reputation is built on their honor, and they will go to great lengths to protect it, even if it means sacrificing their own life.Respect is the currency of the samurai world, earned through martial prowess and deeds of valor. A respected samurai is a force to be reckoned with, their reputation preceding them wherever they go. Respect must be earned through actions demonstrating the samurai's worthiness of admiration and awe.For a Samurai, these values are not just aspirations but a way of life that defines who they are and what they stand for. With these guiding principles, a samurai is a skilled swordsman with a moral compass. Through the practice of these principles, the samurai become legends, their names remembered and revered for generations to come.

  A first-of-its-kind musical memoir that blends storytelling with lyric readings, original songs, and videos. 
  “Knock-knock, anybody home?” 
  For 20 years, Karina Marais and her partner have lived apart together in a shared residence—his bachelor pad upstairs, her retreat downstairs—connected by a staircase that links their spaces while preserving their independence. No unannounced visits, no dull routines—just passion, freedom, and a love story shaped on their terms. 
  In Upstairs Downstairs, Marais shows how they successfully manage a Living Apart Together relationship where love, ambition, and independence coexist. But her memoir isn’t just about love after divorce—it’s also about passion and daring to dream. Some of her dreams took flight, others fell short, but she didn’t want to leave this world without chasing them.  
  That drive makes her jump out of bed every morning, a trait many aspiring entrepreneurs share. Through multisensory storytelling with words, lyric readings, and music, she brings to life the emotions behind love, loss, and the pursuit of dreams in this South African memoir.
