  In Take the Pain Upfront (TTPU), Mike Nagy guides readers through recognizing that all of our lives will involve some pain, but this does not mandate we suffer endlessly. Nagy offers a compelling argument that by attacking what is causing us "pain" head on, and staying with it long enough to understand its root causes we provide ourselves with a pathway to what we really want in life. The book introduces practical concepts to simplify life, urging us to rely on intrinsic knowledge and help us align our actions with our own personal values and goals. The emphasis lies on rediscovering how simple things can be when we choose to let it be and tapping into some basic human concepts. Explore a perspective that allows you to transform challenges and setbacks into growth and transformation. Cultivate a mindset of loving yourself enough to proactively face obstacles with resilience, determination and laser-like focus. Nagy encourages the adoption of a continuous improvement mindset, promoting a high degree of personal excellence in not just one - but all areas of life. Readers are empowered to explore what is holding them back, come up with the simplest most effective solution and block out anything else that might derail their success. By taking this approach, being kind to yourself, and making adjustments as needed you will find the true power of Taking the Pain Upfront!

  A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived: The Human Story Retold Through Our Genes by Adam Rutherford | Book Summary | Readtrepreneur(Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book but an unofficial summary.)The power of DNA and the information it holds is immense. Imagine using that information to discover our past. In our genomes, every one of us holds the history of our species – births, deaths, disease, war, famine, migration and sex. We are much more than our DNA but our DNA holds the keys to our past.(Note: This summary is wholly written and published by readtrepreneur.com It is not affiliated with the original author in any way)"This is a story about you. It concerns the tale of who you are and how you came to be." – Adam RutherfordBy sequencing the DNA of living people, we can obtain historical information that would otherwise remain unknown. History is shortsighted and can be flawed, family stories may be changed, but your DNA could never be altered nor could it ever lie. As author Adam Rutherford said, your DNA gives you your story and the story of your entire species. By sequencing only one person you can obtain more information than from any other source combined.Adam Rutherford stresses the importance of the time period you are observing. "For comparison, the book you are holding is around 115,000 words, or 685,000 characters long, including spaces. If the length of time has existed were represented at this book, each character, including spaces is around 5,597 years. Anatomically, modern humans' tenure on Earth is equivalent to … the precise length of this phase. The time we have been recording history is an evolutionary wing-flap equivalent to a single character, the width of this period ;". DNA on the other hand has no time or memory limit.P.S. A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived is an extremely interesting book which will help you locate your ancestors and "travel through time".

  An outrageous miscellany of serious and light-hearted lies, myths, untruths, fibs and fabrications that tells the tall tale of South Africa.
  The fibs come thick and fast, like a burst sewerage pipe:
  • Why everything we've learnt about Shaka Zulu, 'Africa's Napoleon', is a pack of lies.
  • Back in the darkest of ages (the 1970s!), citizens were told that there were satanic messages if you played some of The Beatles songs backwards.
  • National icon Hansie Cronje was a paragon of virtue, and integrity … until he wasn't.
  • President Nelson Mandela told us that we, as a nation, were 'special'. Turns out we aren't.
  Whether a fabulous fib, an artful con, a doctor's spin, or simply a bald-faced lie, there's something for everyone.

  An award-winning scholar explores the sixty-thousand-year history of the Pacific islands in this dazzling, deeply researched account.One of the Best Books of 2021 — Wall Street JournalThe islands of Polynesia, Melanesia, and Micronesia stretch across a huge expanse of ocean and encompass a multitude of different peoples. Starting with Captain James Cook, the earliest European explorers to visit the Pacific were astounded and perplexed to find populations thriving thousands of miles from continents. Who were these people? From where did they come? And how were they able to reach islands dispersed over such vast tracts of ocean?  In Voyagers, the distinguished anthropologist Nicholas Thomas charts the course of the seaborne migrations that populated the islands between Asia and the Americas from late prehistory onward. Drawing on the latest research, including insights gained from genetics, linguistics, and archaeology, Thomas provides a dazzling account of these long-distance migrations, the seagoing technologies that enabled them, and the societies they left in their wake.
