Summary

“Rule no. 1: Buy this book, laugh out loud, become a better person.” —Jason Alexander  488 Rules for Life is not a self-help book, because it’s not you who needs help—it’s other people. Whether they’re walking and texting, asphyxiating you on public transport with their noxious perfume cloud, or leaving one useless square of toilet paper on the roll, people just don’t know the rules.   But now, thanks to Australian comedian Kitty Flanagan’s comprehensive guide to modern behavior, our world will soon be a much better place. A place where people don’t ruin the fruit salad by putting banana in it . . . where your co-workers refrain from reheating their fish curry in the office microwave . . . where middle-aged men don’t have ponytails.   What started as a joke on Kitty Flanagan’s popular segment on ABC-TV’s The Weekly is now a quintessential reference book with the power to change society. (Or, at least, make it a bit less irritating.)
Available since: 10/27/2020.

    The Marketplace of Ideas -...

    Has American higher education become a dinosaur? Why do professors all tend to think alike? What makes it so hard for colleges to decide which subjects should be required? Why do teachers and scholars find it so difficult to transcend the limits of their disciplines? Why, in short, are problems that should be easy for universities to solve so intractable? The answer, Louis Menand argues, is that the institutional structure and the educational philosophy of higher education have remained the same for one hundred years, while faculties and student bodies have radically changed and technology has drastically transformed the way people produce and disseminate knowledge. Sparking a long-overdue debate about the future of American education, The Marketplace of Ideas examines what professors and students-and all the rest of us-might be better off without while assessing what is worth saving in our traditional university institutions.

    The three laws of attraction will be explained to you. Different views on the law of attraction will also be addressed, as well as financial independence, paying off debt, attracting wealth, etc. Many people struggle with money issues, and having the right mindset may give them a push in the right direction to be better off. This book supports those ideas and helps you along the way. 
    Book 2: When we make use of the law of attraction to gain more wealth, better relationships, or become healthier, we need constant motivation. That’s one thing that this book can provide you.
