Charles Baudelaire, His Life is an autobiography by Charles Baudelaire. The author shares his life events, poetry, letters and essays in this extensive tome for lovers of lyricism.
Nearly every major social problem in the West can be traced back to our declining appreciation for the nuclear family structure and our failure to plan for families properly. Our culture has shifted from prioritizing sacrifice for the benefit of innocent children to catering to the fleeting desires of the adults who bring them into the world. As a result, family separation has become commonplace, and what we consider normal is often rationalized, even when it harms our children. The culture of radical individualism among adults has left children to bear the consequences of their parents' choices. I was once that child who was left behind, neglected by his father, and witnessed his mother shoulder the load for our survival. My father's choice to abandon me physically and emotionally contributed to my decades of struggle with depression, low self-esteem, and suicidal ideation. Unfortunately, my experience of homelessness, mental hospital incarceration, and perpetual internal strife is no longer rare. However, our stories are often ignored, and we avoid holding accountable the parents who have failed us. If we are to change our culture's trajectory, we must sacrifice our pride and prioritize the needs of our children over our own selfish desires. Our children must come first, or they will come last-there is no middle ground.Voir livre

THOMAS JEFFERSON Thomas Jefferson was there in the thick of it all, right when the Revolution was brewing and after. While not all of his ideas and beliefs were perfect, he had a beautiful dream of democracy that proposed a break from tyranny, freedom, and strengthened the power of the common man. The purpose of this book is to outline and describe the life and times of Thomas Jefferson, one of our most famous founding fathers. Not only does it discuss his prelude to the presidency and his time in office, but it digs deeper than that. It also focuses on his experience with the law, how that led him to the political world, and how his presidency and life afterwards helped create for him a legacy of fighting for freedom. It also details his quiet life after the presidency and how he still kept up his pursuit of knowledge even though he had removed himself from public life.Voir livre
What if chasing your dream didn’t lead to fame or fortune—but to something far more honest? At 36, Pat Treuer had the life people post about: six-figure job, corporate status, an apartment with a skyline view—and a quiet voice in his head screaming, “Is this it?” So he did what any rational person would do: he walked away from it all to tell jokes in bars for drink tickets and half-interested crowds. Then came the pandemic. Pat launched a comedy business that brought in a million dollars—then reinvested every penny into a YouTube series that made exactly zero. Not a typo. Zero. By 42, he found himself not chasing the next punchline, but rebuilding a life from scratch. On purpose, this time. Will I Hate Myself is a hilariously raw, painfully honest memoir about risking everything, failing gloriously, and learning to create a life that actually fits. It’s part comedy crash reel, part spiritual sledgehammer. If you’ve ever wondered whether you waited too long to change your life, felt stuck in a “successful” version of someone else’s dream, or asked yourself, “Is this all there is?”—this book is for you. Through panic attacks, bad gigs, and moments of absurd grace, Pat offers more than laughs—he offers proof that it’s never too late to go off-script and start telling the truth. This isn’t about making it. It’s about making it count.Voir livre

REBEL. PHILOSOPHER. BODYBUILDING ICON. Mike Mentzer was a strikingly handsome man with a brilliant mind and a “perfect” physique — the first bodybuilder to receive a perfect score in both amateur and professional competitions. In the late ’70s, Mentzer rose to the very top of his sport (despite the efforts made by industry power brokers, such as Arnold Schwarzenegger), was featured in GQ magazine, and profiled on national television. But he was also a man who wrestled with mental illness his entire life and ended up living on the streets and being sent to prison. Just when it seemed his career was over, he found it within himself to reboot his intellect and revolutionize bodybuilding training, arguing bodybuilders should not forsake their mental development in favor of developing their bodies. He became a pariah in the fitness industry (which only cared about selling supplements and other products) but a hero to legions of fans who earnestly sought truth. Mike Mentzer: American Odysseus is the first biography of Mike Mentzer to appear in North America written by his close friend of 21 years, John Little, “one of the leading fitness researchers in North America” (Iron Man magazine). Drawing upon audio recordings, letters, diary excerpts, as well as interviews with those closest to him, this is the true story of one man who stood up to an entire industry — and paid the ultimate price.Voir livre
