  Try Not to Be Strange - The...

  On his fifteenth birthday, in the summer of 1880, future science-fiction writer M.P. Shiel sailed with his father and the local bishop from their home in the Caribbean out to the nearby island of Redonda—where, with pomp and circumstance, he was declared the island’s king. A few years later, when Shiel set sail for a new life in London, his father gave him some advice: Try not to be strange. It was almost as if the elder Shiel knew what was coming. 
  Try Not to Be Strange: The Curious History of the Kingdom of Redonda tells, for the first time, the complete history of Redonda’s transformation from an uninhabited, guano-encrusted island into a fantastical and international kingdom of writers. With a cast of characters including forgotten sci-fi novelists, alcoholic poets, vegetarian publishers, Nobel Prize frontrunners, and the bartenders who kept them all lubricated while angling for the throne themselves, Michael Hingston details the friendships, feuds, and fantasies that fueled the creation of one of the oddest and most enduring micronations ever dreamt into being. Part literary history, part travelogue, part quest narrative, this cautionary tale about what happens when bibliomania escapes the shelves and stacks is as charming as it is peculiar—and blurs the line between reality and fantasy so thoroughly that it may never be entirely restored.

  You don’t want to control everything. But letting go doesn’t feel safe.
   
  So you plan more. Think more. Hold on tighter.
   
  And still—it never feels like enough.
   
  In Stop Trying to Control Everything: Why You Feel You Have to Be in Charge, you’ll explore the deeper emotional patterns behind control—not as a flaw, but as a response your mind has learned to protect you.
   
  This isn’t about forcing yourself to “just let go.” It’s about understanding why holding on feels necessary in the first place.
   
  Inside, you’ll learn:
  
   
  Why uncertainty feels uncomfortable—even when nothing is wrong
  
   
  The hidden emotional drivers behind control and overthinking
  
   
  How your past experiences shape your need to stay in charge
  
   
  The real cost of trying to control everything
  
   
  The key shift that begins to loosen control naturally
  
  
   
  If you’ve ever felt:
  
   
  “I need to stay on top of everything or it will fall apart”
  
   
  “I can’t relax unless I know what’s happening next”
  
   
  “Why do I feel so uneasy when things are uncertain?”
  
  
   
  This audiobook will help you finally understand why.
   
  Because control isn’t the problem. It’s the protection.
   
  And once you understand it—you can begin to release it.

  After a bucolic childhood in Kovno, Lithuania, Sol was just eleven when the Nazis invaded and he and his family were forced to move into the Kovno Ghetto. The Kovno Ghetto was one of the only ghettos to later become a concentration camp, and Sol was among just a few Jewish survivors from Kovno.In this inspiring story of tenacity, character, faith, love, and forgiveness, we follow young Sol through heartbreak and fear, torment and torture. Through Sol's eyes, we learn the history of the communities in Eastern Europe, especially Lithuania, which has long been a gap in the wider history of the Holocaust. We meet the righteous few who helped save young Sol's life. After being imprisoned in five other concentration camps for a total of four years, Sol was liberated from Buchenwald on his fifteenth birthday. To this day, he still joyfully celebrates every year the day he was born and liberated.Despite the horrors of youth, Sol never lost his determination to live life to the fullest. He embarked on a new life in the United States and would thrive as a husband, father, grandfather, business owner, and an inspiration for the thousands who have heard Sol share his incredible story—and the lessons he has to share.Despite all that he suffered and all those he lost, Sol's courage and positive attitude continues to inspire as he actively seeks out and sees the good in others. He wholeheartedly believes in bashert, a Yiddish word that means "destiny," which gave him his "mission to educate others to love, not to hate." Life Must Go On is a moving and vital new addition to the history of the Holocaust and the chorus of survivor stories that resonate throughout the generations.
