  At twenty years old, five feet eight and with boobs that were 'inconveniently fulsome', Ruth was not quite young enough, tall enough, or waif-like enough to ever hope for a meteoric rise to supermodel status. And yet her sheer optimism and questionable grasp on reality led her to abandon her law degree and begin a career with one of the biggest agencies in the world. 
   
   
   
  Follow Ruth through a rip-roaring, hilarious decade of not quite making it as a supermodel. Fueled by little more than cigarettes and the stress of her spiraling debt she crisscrosses the world in pursuit of fame and fortune. But how far is she willing to go for this wildly unrealistic dream?

  World’s Most Famous Physicists...

  It would be impossible to overstate the accomplishments and legacy of a man history has dubbed the “Father of Modern Science”. In his lifetime, Galileo straddled the epochs of the Renaissance and the Scientific Revolution, and it was his work and technological advances that helped usher in a brand new understanding of the solar system and the scientific method. Stephen Hawking himself has asserted, “Galileo, perhaps more than any other single person, was responsible for the birth of modern science." 
  Sir Isaac Newton is widely considered the most influential scientist in history, best known for the discovery of gravity and the subsequent laws of motion that he theorized. Schoolchildren around the world are still taught the famous legend about an apple falling on Newton’s head, but that colorful story and the preoccupation with Newton’s work in physics tend to make people forget Newton’s work in other fields.  
  Michael Faraday, an endlessly luminous mind equipped with an unflagging hunger for knowledge, possessed a hunger so ungovernable that not even poverty or social norms could stand in the way of his ambitions. Indeed, it was reportedly Albert Einstein's expertise in the lives of Maxwell and Faraday, as well as his mastery of their work and accomplishments, that landed him his first job. 
  Nikola Tesla was one of history’s greatest scientists, and though he is best known for his pioneering work with electricity, the fact that he is mostly remembered solely for that actually does a disservice to his legacy. Born a Serb in the Austrian Empire, Tesla came to the United States and worked in a laboratory for none other than the Wizard of Menlo Park, Thomas Edison.  
  Albert Einstein needs no formal introduction. He is known around the world as one of history’s most brilliant geniuses, and one of its most influential scientists. Einstein is often regarded as the father of modern physics.

  Some regrets don’t hit you all at once. They seep in at the corners of your life, at night or on a long drive, until they become a refrain. Those are the worst regrets of all.I was living in a bubble that burst on May 9, 2022. It was the middle of the afternoon. As my partner Vanessa and I approached a major intersection, a blue car accelerated, ran the red light, and T-boned a black truck directly in front of us.BOOM! The blue car’s hood crumpled like an accordion to absorb the impact. Within seconds, its front end was completely smashed, and its windows were broken. Then, everything went out of focus, except for what I needed to do—assess the scene for safety, check on the drivers of the blue car and black truck, and call 911. Nothing else mattered—I felt a heightened sense of purpose.I had always focused on one macro moment after another—the next mountain to climb or business to start. I hadn’t spent much time appreciating the micro-moments—life in between the macros. I’d been living in a macro-moment bubble.The accident awakened a desire to paint a complete picture of who I wanted to be and how I wanted to approach my life. This is my story of learning how to value the in-between and prioritize consciously living in the micro.

  This is small copy of the introduction of the book: Welcome to the captivating journey through the life and mind of one of history's most intriguing figures—William of Ockham. In the pages that follow, we will delve into the remarkable story of a man whose ideas have left an indelible mark on philosophy, theology, and the way we understand the world. 
  Born in a time of shifting paradigms and profound intellectual exploration, William of Ockham emerged as a beacon of intellectual courage and curiosity. His life's journey takes us through the corridors of medieval thought, where he challenged conventions, questioned established norms, and dared to carve his own path through the complexities of the age. 
  As we embark on this exploration, we'll uncover the threads that wove the fabric of Ockham's life—the circumstances of his birth, the crucible of his upbringing, and the profound influences that shaped his worldview. We'll journey with him through the hallowed halls of academia, where he honed his formidable intellect and developed ground-breaking ideas that continue to resonate to this day. 
  Ockham's journey was not only one of academic pursuits but also a spiritual voyage. His entry into the Franciscan Order added a layer of complexity to his character, intertwining his devotion to religious life with his insatiable thirst for intellectual inquiry. These dual pursuits propelled him into the heart of philosophical and theological discourse, where he contributed to defining debates and daringly challenging established norms.
