  One man's unlikely rise from bartender to national television reporter and the incredible adventures he's had along the way. 
   
   
   
  Hockey great Wayne Gretzky famously noted, "You miss one hundred percent of the shots you don't take." 
   
   
   
  Don Dahler took these words to heart, causing his entire life to change in a remarkable way. Souvenirs from an Absurd Life presents true stories about a relative nobody once struggling to make rent before he decided he would not accept what appeared to be a dim, boring, unfulfilling future. Instead, Dahler charted a new course for himself, somehow landing an award-winning career as a network correspondent and news anchor, covering a vast array of subjects, including wars, the attacks of 9/11, and the biggest stories of the times for FOX, CNBC, ABC, and CBS News. Despite the considerable odds against him, Don Dahler took his shot, and he made it.

  Isaac, based on a true story, follows the journey of a Polish teen-aged boy from. near-death to ultimate triumph. In parable-like prose, it captures Isaac's miraculous survival of the Nazi massacre of his family and fellow Poles and his escape into a vast, nightmarish European forest. After being saved by a gentile from near his village, Isaac joins a group of Russian partisans and becomes a demolition expert. He falls in love with a Russian partisan nurse while striving—even among the partisans—to hide his Jewish background. This is a coming-of-age story amid the horrors and passions of war that demonstrates how determination, love, and friendship can overpower the force of hatred, discrimination, and unthinkable loss.

  A Brief Account of the Bahai...

  “Many believe that we, in this century,” writes Ethel Rosenberg, “ are witnessing the dawn of a new spiritual epoch or era. A renewal of the Spirit is making itself felt in the Churches and in the religious and social life of all lands. This is in harmony with the teachings of the Bahais, and of their Great Leaders, now represented by Abdul Baha the ‘Servant of God,’ known to the outside world as Abbas Effendi. Once again, the Light is shining forth from that land which may indeed be called the Holy Land: for have not its valleys and hills been trodden from the beginning by the feet of those great Messengers inspired of God-Abraham, Elijah, and last and greatest, Jesus of Nazareth? Is it strange that once more in this century of ours, in this ‘cradle of the race,’ those that were sitting “in darkness have seen a Great Light,” the light of the Sun of Righteousness that rises with healing in his wings?”Ethel Jenner Rosenberg (1858-1930) was a prominent British Bahá’í, having been introduced to the Bahá’í Faith in 1899 by Mary Thornburgh-Cropper. She published two booklets on the Bahá’í Faith, of which “A Brief Account of the Bahai Movement” was one. She also presented a paper on the Bahá’í Faith at the International Congress for the History of Religions in 1908. She assisted Laura Clifford Barney in compiling Some Answered Questions and Lady Blomfield in compiling Paris Talks. She began to learn Persian and assisted Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Bahá’í Faith, in translating the Hidden Words of Bahá’u’lláh. She was described by Shoghi Effendi as ‘England’s pioneer worker’. (Introduction by Nicholas James Bridgewater)

  A Buddhist Path to Joy - The New...

  A funny thing happened on the way to my death... 
  Finding joy through Buddhist practices doesn’t require a pilgrimage to Kathmandu or years of living in a cave. It took me decades, but it needn’t take you as long. This book is my end-of-life effort to point the way. 
  "Written with humility, openness, and humanity, A Buddhist Path to Joy...provides a welcome starting-point for readers who want to go past the superficial layers of pop-culture meditation and yoga through understanding," says the IndieReader review. It's an "excellent overall primer to a living practice of modern Buddhism." 
  This isn't another scholarly treatise on Buddhism. It's dharma from the trenches—honest, accessible, and refreshingly free of spiritual pretense. Pine calls himself a "Jewish Buddhist contrarian," and his irreverent yet profound voice guides readers through everything from AI consciousness and Buddha Nature to the practical art of dying well while fully alive. 
  Whether you're new to Buddhism or a seasoned practitioner, this book offers a modern middle way between rigid tradition and shallow spirituality. Pine proves that awakening isn't reserved for monastery dwellers—it's available to anyone willing to make friends with their mind and embrace the radical ordinariness of joy. 
  "I am awake!" Pine declares with hard-earned confidence. His invitation is simple: you can be too. 
  NOTE: The author narrates this book, with voice actor Robin McAlpine playing the parts of AI platforms in conversation with the author in two chapters. It contains no AI narration.

  REDEFINING SUCCESS FOR EMPOWERED...

  ABOUT THE BOOK 
  Taking care of oneself is the most vital aspect that contributes to our self-improvement journey. Self-care is a journey that begins when we genuinely commit to looking after all dimensions of ourselves. This involves nurturing our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Our body is akin to a temple where numerous essential tasks and functions occur, playing a crucial role in achieving our life's purpose. 
  Writing this book is my endeavor to offer insights drawn from my personal experiences and research, aimed at guiding and motivating readers to prioritize their holistic health. 
  My journey towards health and fitness began in my childhood, and it was further strengthened post-pregnancy when I managed to reduce my weight from 90 kg to 63 kg within less than 18 months through mindful dietary choices. 
  Drawing from these life-changing experiences and my unique perspective, I felt compelled to share my insights with others. If I could bring about transformative changes in my life by nurturing holistic health, I believed anyone could. 
  My journey has led me to believe that true success emerges from a balanced approach to life, where physical, mental, and spiritual well-being converge to shape a fulfilled and purposeful existence. 
  My intention behind writing this book is to share my experiences and insights, hoping to inspire and guide readers on their own journeys towards holistic well-being. If even a single person benefits from my experiences, it would be a significant achievement.
