  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  "Home Fire," by Kamila Shamsie, is a contemporary reimagining of Sophocles’ “Antigone,” exploring the themes of family, loyalty, and justice against the backdrop of the War on Terror. The story follows the Pasha family, whose lives are shattered when their brother, Parvaiz, becomes radicalized and joins ISIS. After Parvaiz is killed in Istanbul, his sister Aneeka embarks on a journey to reclaim his body, challenging societal norms and defying the British government's refusal to repatriate the remains of citizens who joined ISIS. Aneeka's quest for justice intersects with the life of Karamat Lone, the ambitious British Home Secretary of Pakistani origin, who finds his political aspirations clashing with his family’s history. As the narrative unfolds, the novel explores the complexities of identity, belonging, and the enduring power of familial bonds in a world marked by political turmoil and the corrosive effects of prejudice.

  Here we are! You have managed to get a job interview by dint of sending CVs like an automatic machine gun! 
  The time has come! After so much wandering, a company has decided to see you first-hand! 
  All the hours spent filing your resume beyond belief, every evening spent behind the PC sifting through job offers, have finally served a purpose! 
  But now? 
  What to do? 
  At school, at university, no one taught you how to approach a job interview. 
  Panic: what answer and how to answer to the questions, talk little or a lot, dress elegant or sober, remain motionless or move with the body, shake hands or not, browse the company's website or get to the interview in a naive way, in order to be yourself? 
  If we would like to give an answer to all the mental blowjobs that will turn in your head, we just have to say that the truth is simple, damn simple. 
  But, as usual, when something is too simple, we don't consider it a viable option! 
  I'll tell you the secret right away! 
  To successfully pass a job interview, you need study, method and experience: 
  - study, because we need to examine our potential employer thoroughly, understand what he is looking for and what he expects from us 
  - method, because without a plan you can't go anywhere. Don't improvise. Train like a boxer. You are on the ring, and that employment contract must be yours! 
  - experience, because the first few times you will miss it. You will be discarded. Not because you're not good for that job, but because you still won't have the experience of a commander who has won 100 battles. It is normal, do not be discouraged. The sooner you understand where you went wrong in the first few battles, the sooner you will start winning! 
  Are you there so far? 
  Well, you are ready to listen to the audiobook!

  Before becoming a film star, Jackie Chan was a member of the Seven Little Fortunes at the Peking Opera School, where he trained in acrobatics, martial arts, and acting. He adopted the stage name Yuen Lo during this time. 
    
  Jackie Chan's first major breakthrough role was in the 1978 film Snake in the Eagle's Shadow, which helped establish the comedic kung fu genre. He was given complete freedom over his stunt work by the director. 
    
  In the 1980s, Jackie Chan was part of the "Three Dragons" with Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, starring in six Hong Kong films together. These three had become close friends while at the Peking Opera School and were known as the Three Brothers.

It offers a clear, practical framework for rewiring reward systems through deliberate effort, anticipation, and balance, helping you regain control over attention, energy, and purpose.

  Unmasking Fear - How Fears Are...

  Imagine the possibilities if instead of avoiding the things you feared, you approached them with courage and curiosity. 
    
  When we are in the grip of fear, our world can get very small and for many of us, the number of choices shrink to just four basic reactions: fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. That’s not a lot of options. On a collective level, elements of our society like governments, religions, and businesses sometimes instill fear to divide and control—to keep us feeling dependent on them instead of ourselves. On an individual level, fear can be the reason we’re living a life that’s not reflective of our truth or potential. It’s what keeps us feeling stuck and holds us back. What most of us don’t realize is that fear has much to teach us. 
    
  “Fear Technician” Guryan Tighe reframes the way we approach fear from the goal of conquering it to a goal of learning from it by providing readers three gateways to look at fear in a way that frees us: curiosity, gratitude, and purpose. She shows us how to interrupt our initial reaction, pause, check in with ourselves, and rewrite the patterns we use to respond to that which we fear. With this shift in thinking and how to engage it, readers will find new pathways forward as they shift from unintentional reactions to intentional responses. 
    
  When we change our relationship to fear, we gain valuable insights that inform our growth and development, connecting us more deeply to our truth. This different approach to fear doesn’t just transform our relationship with ourselves but can also unite us with others through empathy and shared purpose. What has the power to separate us from ourselves and each other—fear—also has the power to unite us. Unmasking Fear shows us that fear is courage unrealized and understanding our fears frees us to pursue the life we want. 
    
  “For anyone in the grip of fear, or longing for deeper connection to themselves and others, this book will propel you towards greater clarity, confidence and peace.”—Randy Taran, author of Emotional Advantage and founder/CEO of Project Happiness.org
