  On his final day alive, Scribe convenes a reunion of his closest friends. Though they’d been separated since a harrowing climb on Mt. Kilimanjaro, Scribe hopes the gathering will inspire an actionable plan for humanity in the face of existential challenges. Through a series of conversations, debates, and negotiations, the participants develop a blueprint for the way forward. 
  Writing as “Zero,” author Bryan Johnson is an entrepreneur and explorer of the new frontiers of being human. Johnson took stock of his health and realized that a decade of chronic depression and poor cognitive control earlier in life had affected every measure of his well-being. He decided it was time to fight back. In DON’T DIE, Johnson catalogs the social and philosophical strategies necessary for the fight, both individually and as a species. Johnson’s controversial ideas and methods have attracted both detractors and devoted followers around the globe.

  A fully revised third edition in translation of this best-selling 'gem of autobiographical writing' in the Arab world, by an author who has been called 'a relentless raconteur', 'a modern Odysseus', 'the Iraqi Don Quixote'. Providentially leaving Iraq just before Saddam Hussein installs himself as President, the Assyrian narrator of An Iraqi in Paris dreams of becoming a Hollywood film-maker after his hero John Ford, but after arrest and torture in Syria - accused of being a Jewish spy on account of his name, similar treatment in Jordan, and escaping execution in Lebanon by armed militia, he eventually lands up on the streets of Paris, where he meets up with Jean Valjean and tries to escape his fate as a homeless refugee with wit, humour and amorous adventures, all the while writing the story of his childhood, his deaf-mute father Kika, and film buff Kiryakos. After all his experiences, Samuel Shimon, 'the runaway from museums', writes an urgently needed and timely 'manifesto of tolerance'. Translated from the Arabic by Christina Phillips and Piers Amodia with the author.

  The 7 Wonders of Me: A Journey from Trauma to Healing 
  At age 13, Darnell Davis stood in a courtroom as the key witness in a murder trial that sent his father to prison for life—a moment that shattered his childhood and marked the beginning of a long battle with pain, anger, and self-doubt. The Seven Wonders of Me is Darnell’s deeply personal memoir of navigating the darkness, confronting his deepest wounds, and finding healing against all odds. 
  This book offers readers more than just a story of survival; it is a roadmap to inner peace and personal growth. Using the seven chakras as a guiding framework, Darnell leads readers through each stage of his journey, from the root chakra’s call to rediscover safety and stability, to the crown chakra’s invitation to connect with a higher purpose. Each chapter is filled with raw reflections, spiritual insights, and practical tools that Darnell used to reclaim his life and embrace his own light. 
  In The 7 Wonders of Me, readers will find not only a story of triumph over trauma but also actionable steps for their own healing journey. Whether you are facing your own darkness or simply seeking a deeper connection with yourself, this book serves as a powerful reminder that the path to healing starts from within. 
  Perfect for fans of self-help, memoirs, and spiritual growth, The 7 Wonders of Me is a testament to resilience, forgiveness, and the transformative power of self-love
