You do not have to be a Christian to benefit from these timeless words either! All you need is: an open heart; an open mind; and an honest desire to make the most of this life.

  A bittersweet story that begins with the delightful discovery of a famous birth mother. 
  Before film star Karen Black became an icon, she gave up a newborn daughter to adoption. While Karen's career led her to Hollywood fame, her daughter Diane grew up near Chicago. For five decades they knew nothing about each other. Then Illinois opened their sealed adoption records, and Diane sent for her original birth certificate. She was amazed to discover that her birth mother was an iconic actress in the '70s and a cult horror star in the '80s and beyond. Karen starred in prominent films such as Easy Rider, The Great Gatsby, Airport 1975, Burnt Offerings and the TV movie Trilogy of Terror. 
  This heartfelt memoir takes the listener into Diane's adopted life without her birth mother, and follows Karen and Diane through their one year together as Karen bravely battles cancer. This remarkable story is a testament to the power of the mother-child bond, the importance of our roots, and the belief that love lasts forever. 
  Award-winning Christina Delaine's exceptional narration captures Karen's vivacious spirit and the story's emotional moments with authenticity. 
  "This book took me by surprise with emotional timbre, honest emotions, and depth of feeling. Through immersive writing, descriptive narration, and stark imagery, Finding Karen Black expertly weaves a mother-daughter story, unlike anything I've read before." --N. N. Light

  A Lifetime Doing Nothing - Tales...

  This book is a compilation of teachings told in short stories about the author's attempts to undo the done. He offers this little book as a more ardent, and hopefully lucid, attempt to explain the paramount importance of doing nothing as a way to undo oneself. 
   
  ----------------------------- 
   
  "In my experience, all our problems do indeed stem from this hyperactive and delusional thinking we have acquired over time. 
   
  There is a way to eradicate the light-speed, blind reactions and the habitual confusion. The way is very simple. It boils down to just two words: do nothing. That s it. Do nothing. Sit quietly in a room alone and do nothing. Watch the monkey mind and do not try to fix it or eliminate it or drown it out or engage it. 
   
  This is doing non-doing. Observe the mind, on autopilot as usual, screaming editorial comments from the sidelines like some frenzied play-by-play announcer and do nothing about it. Don't turn the monologue into a dialogue. Do nothing. 'Nothing to see here, folks. Let s keep it moving.'" 
   
  —Ian McCrorie

  A great book for young folks who want to become entrepreneurs, and a perfect graduation gift for anyone who is thinking about going into business.Written by a serial entrepreneur and private equity manager who shares his own journey in a way that is easy to apply.Are you thinking of a career pivot out of the 9-5 and don't know where to start? This book is for you. It provides a unique and simple framework for understanding what you can do to leverage your current work and life skills into the business world. Maybe you're stuck at a job you hate and wishing for a way out...trying to think of a big idea that will make you a shark tank contender? This book will make things a lot easier than you might believe.  This book has been compared to The Richest Man in Babylon as well as The Alchemist, but it is also the kind of transformative book that people have likened to Rich Dad. Poor Dad, and The 4-Hour Workweek.  You'll learn from real stories of business and you'll get memorable principles that come from an entertaining ancient parable. A story as old as time: a person taking control of their own destiny. A boy becomes the king's flyswatter, a seemingly unimportant job with no real prospects. Compared to today's world, where employees expect a succinct and tangible path of promotions and raises, fly-swatting seems like torture. But, with the help of a few key mentors, Ubar of ancient Babylon learns that there's more to the position than meets the eye. After all, he spends his days standing at the wise king's side, watching as he renders royal judgment on his citizens' disagreements. It's Ubar's responsibility to learn as much as possible without sacrificing his performance at swatting flies, a mundane job.  The parable of the King's Flyswatter holds up remarkably well when entwined with modern stories of people who took the skills they learned in their jobs and set off on their own paths. Modern day executives and entrepreneurs understand the importance of going above and beyond at work, forging connections, and gaining a deeper understanding of the industry, even when they hated the job.They mastered their job, their boss's job, and made themselves invaluable as employees. That hard work and dedication paid off later when they were able to pursue a lifestyle that suited their needs, financial and emotional. They gained agency once they realized that they worked for themselves, even in a monotonous job working for someone else. This is the Way of the Flyswatter. The King's Flyswatter is a combination of an ancient parable and the author's real-life experiences as an entrepreneur, all wrapped up in actionable wisdom that working-people can use to find their own path to success. The alternating chapters about the author's own journey, and the stories of his friends and business partners, help punctuate the book with actionable principles and real-life applications.
