Useful knowledge about fashion

Did you know, for example, that King Louis XIV of France, better known as the Sun King, actually wore heels to appear taller?

All these amazing facts and many more are waiting to be discovered by you.

Although the title "Useless Fashion Knowledge" implies that this information may not be for everyday use, you will find that the knowledge in this book is anything but useless. It provides insights into the culture, history and psychology behind the clothes and accessories we wear, and illuminates the often surprising ways in which fashion shapes and influences our world.

Insight of others thoughts -...

Nils Goldschmidt

You know how your partner or colleague typically reacts, but with this book, you will also understand their fundamental motives. This way, you can avoid many arguments that follow the same pattern as the last time you disagreed. The same logic will help you in the future when completing a task for your boss. When dealing with customers, you will instinctively know whether they seek something innovative or reassurance about their purchase. In addition to being able to read others’ thoughts, you will also understand how people perceive you.
The book is logically structured and easy to understand. It includes many practical examples of the four different roles we all take on. As you read, you won’t be able to help but think of the various people you interact with—and you will see them in a whole new light. The book has been developed over many years through team-building exercises, where participants have defended their behavior in demanding and complex collaborations. You will feel proud of yourself and your behavior when you realize the unconscious values that guide you. Unfortunately, not everyone shares your values.
Do you know the feeling of just clicking with certain people? Feeling a sense of connection with them? You can experience that same feeling with many others, even if they seem different from you. Even those closest to us may not share the same values, which is why differing opinions and decisions can lead to conflict. But imagine if you saw it as an advantage to be with someone who has different values—and therefore different strengths. Together, you can achieve so much more.
As normal human beings, we often focus on the personal traits that we struggle with the most when interacting with others. The problem is that we tend to see the downside of these traits and not the person's strengths.

Meet Your Spirit Guides -...

Healing & Spirituality Club

Something keeps happening. The same number, the same song, the phone call that comes at the exact moment you needed it. You feel accompanied, and you have no language for it — and no idea whether it's safe to say out loud.

This warm, unhurried listening book gives you that language. Through reflective teachings and true-to-life stories, you'll learn what people across cultures have meant by guides, guardians and inner counsel, and how guidance is said to arrive through repeating signs, dreams, animals, unexplained timing and that quiet sudden knowing you can never quite explain. You'll also learn how to tell steady inner guidance from wishful thinking, so trust grows instead of doubt.

By the end, the connection feels less like reaching for something far away and more like remembering a presence that was already close. Press play, listen slowly, and let the companionship settle in.

Before Forever: A Couples...

Talia Banks

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Most people spend more time researching a car than they do examining the person they're about to build a life with. They confuse feeling good together with being right for each other. They avoid the hard questions because they don't want to ruin what they have. And then — a year in, five years in, after the wedding, after the children — the thing they were afraid to look at looks back at them. 
 
Before Forever is about the five things that actually predict whether a relationship lasts: how someone handles money, conflict, family, truth, and pressure. Not chemistry. Not compatibility quizzes. The specific patterns that show up under weight — and how to see them clearly before you've committed a life. 
 
Through real couples, beat-by-beat conversations, and research that reframes what you thought you knew about love, Talia Banks gives you the questions most people never ask — and shows you exactly what to do with the answers. 
 
You don't have to get this wrong. You just have to look before you leap.
