Life in Stories is a deeply human collection of fiction, lyrics, and novel excerpts that traces the arc of life—moving through youth and age, humor and tragedy, love and loss. From the beaches of Rio to the soccer fields of New Jersey, from the Roman conquest at Alesia to the American West of the 19th century, these stories explore athletes chasing vanished glory, lovers trying to find their way back to each other, ordinary people facing extraordinary moral choices, and moments of quiet reflection that define who we become. Each piece is introduced by the author with a personal reflection on its inspiration, meaning, and place in his own life, offering readers rare insight into both the story and the storyteller. Honest, intimate, and emotionally resonant, this collection invites readers to experience not just the stories themselves, but the life behind them.Ver libro
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844–1900) was a nineteenth-century German philosopher. He wrote critical texts on religion, morality, contemporary culture, philosophy and science, using a distinctive German language style and displaying a fondness for aphorism. Nietzsche's influence remains substantial within and beyond philosophy, notably in existentialism and postmodernism. Thus Spake Zarathustra (Also sprach Zarathustra), is a work composed in four parts between 1883 and 1885. Much of the work deals with ideas such as the "eternal recurrence of the same", the parable on the "death of God", and the "prophecy" of the Overman, which were first introduced in The Gay Science. Described by Nietzsche himself as "the deepest ever written", the book is a dense and esoteric treatise on philosophy and morality, featuring as protagonist a fictionalized Zarathustra. A central irony of the text is that the style of the Bible is used by Nietzsche to present ideas of his which fundamentally oppose Judaeo-Christian morality and tradition.

“An adult biting nail in front a crowd can be much more than just bad habit. It can be chronic stress…..” Humans will think as long as they have a functioning brain. And that is good; adults need to think for better living, better performance and overall better quality of life. But what if over thinking starts to affect mental balance? What if individuals forget to have fun due to the constant fear of the future? What if life becomes a burden for a man or woman due to over analyzing every situation? This is stress. Thinking is acceptable and good, but stress is not. Stress makes life miserable. Stress kills the joy of life. Stress is the main reason why some adults cannot deal it anymore and kill themselves. Stress can happen due to many reasons. Stress can happen because of an incurable illness; stress can happen due to the weak financial situation, a broken relationship can also cause stress. Whatever the reason is living with stress is not good. Stress can cause depression. And depression may force a healthy person to attempt suicide. No one can be happy all the time; there will be problems. But adults must learn to deal with problems without bringing stress to their lives.Ver libro
Paul Collins travels the globe piecing together the missing body and soul of one of our most enigmatic founding fathers: Thomas Paine. A typical book about an American founding father doesn’t start at a gay piano bar and end in a sewage ditch. But then, Tom Paine isn’t your typical founding father. A firebrand rebel and a radical on the run, Paine alone claims a key role in the development of three modern democracies. In death, his story turns truly bizarre. Shunned as an infidel by every church, he had to be interred in an open field on a New York farm. Ten years later, a former enemy converting to Paine’s cause dug up the bones and carried them back to Britain, where he planned to build a mausoleum in Paine’s honor. But he never got around to it. So what happened to the body of this founding father? Well, it got lost. Paine’s missing bones, like saint’s relics, have been scattered for two centuries, and their travels are the trail of radical democracy itself. Paul Collins combines wry, present-day travelogue with an odyssey down the forgotten paths of history as he searches for the remains of Tom Paine and finds them hidden in, among other places, a Paris hotel, underneath a London tailor’s stool, and inside a roadside statue in New York. Along the way he crosses paths with everyone from Walt Whitman and Charles Darwin to sex reformers and hellfire ministers―not to mention a suicidal gunman, a Ferrari dealer, and berserk feral monkeys. In the end, Collins’s search for Paine’s body instead finds the soul of democracy―for it is the story of how Paine’s struggles have lived on through his eccentric and idealistic followers.Ver libro

Cover Art Photo: Ronald Reagan giving his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention at Joe Louis Arena, Detroit, Michigan. July 17, 1980. In his acceptance speech, Reagan envisioned “a new consensus with all those across the land who share a community of values embodied in these words: family, work, neighborhood, peace and freedom.” Reagan’s acceptance focuses on “three grave threats to our very existence, any one of which could destroy us. We face a disintegrating economy, a weakened defense and an energy policy based on the sharing of scarcity.” Reagan places responsibility on the “Democratic party leadership-in the White House and in Congress-for this unprecedented calamity which has befallen us.” He says his first act will be “to impose an immediate and thorough freeze on federal hiring” and “to conduct a detailed review of every department, bureau and agency that lives by federal appropriation.” Reagan calls for “a 30 percent reduction in income tax rates over a period of three years” and reminds us that “every major tax cut in this century has strengthened the economy, generated renewed productivity and ended up yielding new revenues for the government”. On the issue of national defense, Reagan asserts that we “know only too well that war comes not when the forces of freedom are strong, but when they are weak. It is then that tyrants are tempted.” While calling for a strong military, Reagan reiterates his long-held belief that government is too big and the “time is now to limit federal spending; to insist on a stable monetary reform and to free ourselves from imported oil.” Search online for “Ronald Reagan major speeches” to see both a text version and a video version of this speech.
