    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Help Yourself – The Surface is a roadmap for creators who refuse to fade into the noise. Life’s rhythm can feel relentless—rules, expectations, and judgment beating down until your inner music goes silent. But what if you could turn that chaos into sound? What if every scar became a note in your comeback song? 
    This book is my story of doing exactly that—rewriting pain into purpose through music. From a five-year-old on a piano bench in Latvia’s Song and Dance Festival, surrounded by 12,000 voices, to dark nights in underground clubs where raw riffs became lifelines. Each chapter reveals how rhythm, resilience, and creativity can pull you from collapse to clarity. 
    Like The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron and Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert, this book helps you unlock your creative pulse and reconnect with your power. It’s a guide for dreamers, rebels, and Gen Z creators searching for a sense of meaning in a world that moves too fast. 
    You’ll learn to find your “reset word”—mine is music—to anchor yourself through struggle. You’ll see how small wins, like in Atomic Habits, build unstoppable momentum. You’ll face fear and resistance like in The War of Art, and find freedom through vulnerability, echoing Daring Greatly. 
    From metal bands to Fruity Loops sessions, from trauma and betrayal to founding Fresh Music Frontier (FMF)—a platform born to lift artists—the journey shows that creation isn’t just expression; it’s survival. 
    Help Yourself – The Surface is a manifesto for anyone ready to turn pain into progress, noise into melody, and doubt into drive. If Man’s Search for Meaning taught us to find light in suffering, this book turns that light into sound. 
    Your life is a track in progress. It’s time to hit play.

    An Audio Journey into Artist's Personal Catastrophes. 
    Enter the intimate, electrifying world of BL8D VOL. 3 — a limited-edition art journal that defies fashion clichés and dives deep into the fragile intersection of art, death, and human vulnerability. This is not a story about global war. It’s about the quiet disasters we survive every day — the private losses, the invisible griefs, the emotional collapses we rarely name. 
    In this immersive audio experience, you’ll move through seven deeply personal monologues — each a raw, poetic confrontation with mortality. Each voice is unique, yet strangely familiar — as if your own inner monologue had been cracked open and turned into an elegy. 
    Seven "little tragedies" that never make it into the news, because they happen every day, everywhere, to everyone. Against the background of world wars, catastrophes, strikes and coups, they become invisible. But in a world where "little death" is respected, there is no place for the "Great War".

    City planning is more than just the design of roads, buildings, and parks; it is the blueprint for a society's future. The way cities are planned has a profound impact on the lives of their inhabitants, influencing everything from the air they breathe to their access to resources and opportunities. At its core, city planning seeks to create environments that are not only functional but also sustainable, inclusive, and resilient. In an era where urbanization is increasing rapidly, the importance of thoughtful city planning has never been greater. 
    The planning process involves much more than the physical layout of a city. It encompasses strategies for economic growth, social equity, environmental sustainability, and cultural preservation. A well-planned city can enhance quality of life, boost economic productivity, and provide a sense of community, while a poorly planned city can lead to overcrowding, inadequate infrastructure, and environmental degradation. As more people move into cities every year, urban planners are tasked with creating spaces that are not only livable but also adaptable to future needs. 
    One of the most pressing reasons for effective city planning is the growing concern over environmental issues. Cities are responsible for a significant portion of global carbon emissions, and urban sprawl has led to the depletion of natural resources. Through sustainable urban planning practices, cities can reduce their environmental footprint by promoting energy-efficient buildings, renewable energy sources, and green spaces. Additionally, proper planning can mitigate the effects of climate change, such as flooding and heat islands, by incorporating resilient infrastructure that can withstand extreme weather conditions.

    The grand narrative of Chinese history is often presented as a seamless succession of unified dynasties. Yet between these periods of unity, China experienced crucial eras of division that profoundly shaped its cultural and political development. "Fragmentation and Conflict: A Divided China" examines three fascinating periods when competing states vied for dominance across the Chinese landscape. 
    Following the collapse of the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms period (220-280 CE) saw China fractured into the competing states of Wei, Shu, and Wu. This era of military genius, political intrigue, and strategic maneuvering became immortalized in the classic novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," transforming historical figures like Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan into cultural icons. Beyond the battlefield drama, these rival states developed distinct regional cultures and governance approaches while competing for legitimacy as the true inheritors of the Han legacy. 
    The Jin Dynasty (265-420 CE) briefly reunified China before succumbing to internal rebellions and nomadic invasions, leading to further fragmentation. This tumultuous period witnessed massive population movements as northern Chinese fled southward, dramatically reshaping the cultural geography of China while Buddhist influence expanded significantly throughout society. 
    Centuries later, as the Song Dynasty controlled much of traditional China, the Western Xia (1038-1227 CE) emerged as a powerful independent state in the northwest. Founded by the Tangut people, this sophisticated kingdom developed its own unique script, produced remarkable Buddhist art, and maintained a complex relationship with its Chinese and nomadic neighbors before ultimately falling to the Mongol conquest.

    Sonny Rollins is one of the towering masters of American music, a virtuoso of the saxophone, and an unequaled improviser whose live performances are legendary and who has reshaped modern jazz over the course of a career lasting more than sixty years. A turning point in that legendary career came in 1959, when Rollins stepped back from performing and recording to begin a new regime of musical exploration. This was also the moment when he started the notebook that would become a trusted companion in years to come—not a diary so much as a place to ponder art and life and his own search for meaning.At once quotidian and aphoristic, the notebooks mingle lists of chores and rehearsal routines with ruminations on nightclub culture, racism, and the conundrums of the inner life. And always there is the music—questions of embouchure, fingering, and technique; of harmony and dissonance; of his own and others' art and the art of jazz. "Any definition," Rollins insists, "which seeks to separate Johann Sebastian Bach from Miles Davis is defeating its own purpose of clarification . . . The Musings of Miles is then the Bouncing of Bach both played against each other."Edited and introduced by the critic and jazz scholar Sam V.H. Reese, The Notebooks of Sonny Rollins provides an unequaled glimpse into the mind and workshop of a musical titan.
