  My Unforgettable Journey - A...

  I shouldn't be here. If my early formative years were any indication of my future and what awaited me, then I shouldn't be where I am today. I shouldn't be a public elected official. I shouldn't be married and raising a beautiful family I love, adore, and cherish in a country that gave me a second chance. I shouldn't have survived. But I did. 
  Against all odds, I am here. Alive, thriving, and living proof that where you start does not determine where you 'II finish. The path that began in war-torn Vietnam has taken me across oceans and obstacles, through hardship and heartbreak, toward purpose and possibility. 
  As I wrote this book, something miraculous happened. For 50 years, I believed my father, an American soldier in the Vietnam War, had died before I was born. I carried that absence like a shadow. But with faith, prayer, and the help of DNA tests and tireless research, I found him alive. 
  If you take anything from my story, let it be this: You hold the power to overcome your pain, your past, and your doubts. You were not born to stay broken. Within you is the resilience to rise, the courage to push forward, and the brilliance to shine even when no one else sees it yet. 
  People may underestimate you. Let them. Then go prove them wrong.

  "Fear and Trembling" is a philosophical work by Søren Kierkegaard that explores faith through the lens of Abraham's near sacrifice of Isaac. The title itself comes from a Bible verse about approaching God with both reverence and apprehension. Kierkegaard delves into the paradox of Abraham's situation: being commanded by God to do something morally horrific yet acting with complete faith. It's a meditation on the nature of faith, obedience, and the boundaries of human understanding.

  Richard Sorge: The Life and...

  Editors Charles River

  Spies are a feature of countless works of fiction in which they often discover secrets on which the fate of nations hang in the balance. Reality is generally rather more mundane, as spies often gather low-level intelligence that only makes sense when it is examined by analysts and compared to information from other sources. Espionage provides clues to what the enemy is planning, but on its own, it rarely changes the course of a war. Moreover, real spies are generally anonymous, not the bold, swashbuckling action heroes depicted in fiction. Spies must hide in plain sight, and that is best achieved by being as innocuous as possible.  
  	However, there are exceptions. Occasionally, a spy will be so successful that they are able to place themselves in a position where they have access to information at the highest levels, secrets that really can change the course of world events. Sometimes, these spies may even be as handsome, charming, charismatic, and bold as their fictional counterparts. 
  	One such spy was a man named Richard Sorge. Experiencing the horrors of World War I at first-hand turned Sorge into an ardent communist, after which he worked as a spy for the USSR in Germany, China, and Japan before and during World War II. He obtained vital military and political secrets and maintained his cover for over nine years despite frantic searches for the spy who was leaking information to Russia. His effortless charm meant that he didn’t need to steal secrets: people told him willingly, including the many women that he seduced.

  Dang Dang Doko Dang - The Sound...

  Osho sees Zen not as a historical spiritual tradition but as the future spirituality of a humanity that has matured to the point that people no longer need religions controlled by priesthoods and based on fearful superstitions that cripple people's innate intelligence and divide them from one another.
  This series of talks offers a deeper understanding of the underlying differences between Eastern and Western approaches to religion and the nature of consciousness. It's a beautiful introduction to a world where each individual has the capacity for an instant and profound understanding of existence and a rebirth of the trust in life that each of us is born with.
  Dang Dang Doko Dang represents the sound of the drum beaten by a Zen master in an existential lesson for a disciple. As well as symbolizing the poetic quality of Zen, the title represents the special flavor of this collection of Osho's commentaries on well-known Zen stories. This volume is part of the Osho Classics series and also includes Osho's responses to questions about the meditation technique of Zazen.
