  The Stuff Between the Stars -...

  Before Vera Rubin discovered most of the universe, she was a girl who loved the night sky. She watched the Big Dipper circle the North Star. And when her eyelids grew heavy, she dreamed not about what she had seen, but about what she had not seen. She dreamed about the mysteries between the stars. 
   
  As Vera grew older, she tried to uncover those mysteries. At her first conference, the male astronomers said her ideas were “outlandish.” They said they were “ridiculous.” Vera didn’t like their harsh words, pushing her away. So she started studying faraway galaxies no one else was interested in. The youngest  
  wheeled like pinwheels. The oldest spun with their arms closed tight. And every single one showed that between the stars, there is stuff we cannot see. Scientists before Vera had suspected this “dark matter” made up most of the universe. But no one had been able to show it was there. No one, until Vera. 
   
  The Stuff Between the Stars tells Vera’s incredible story, celebrates her brilliance, and shows how a girl’s never-ending love for the night sky changed the way we see our universe today.

  Nowadays it's very easy to find negativity. Not only because there are more and more sources, but because negativity sales. Newspapers, TV, Radio, magazines, social media.

  In this book, I'll show you tips and techniques that will increase your happiness level. We'll discuss common problems we face and give practical solutions to those problems. 
  Please note: for full happiness, you can't use just one or two of the tips from this book. You have to use as many as possible. 
  The whole book is designed in a way that you can get back to it at any given moment and re-read only a specific part you need to refresh. 
  The best part is that I have lived through (and still living) all the things mentioned in the book. I don't reproduce a book I read in the past. Instead, I give you my actual techniques for a happy life. Techniques that you can apply straight after you finish a chapter. 
  Put together educational content written in an easy-to-understand way, add practical examples, answers to common problems, and you'll get a fantastic read! 
  To your success
