  'It is in our faults and failings, not in our virtues, that we touch one another and find sympathy. We differ widely enough in our nobler qualities. It is in our follies that we are at one.'
  
  Jerome K. Jerome's second ever published work, Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow is a rollicking collection of hilarious essays that established the writer of one of the most talented humorists of his day.
  
  First serialised in 1886, Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow takes the reader through a series of eccentric takes on love, memory, shyness, babies, food, the weather, the world at large and so much more. Brimming with personal anecdotes and comically perceptive commentary, Jerome's musings invite the reader to laugh at the absurdities of society and human nature. Written with the same witty flair and whimsy found in Jerome's renowned Three Men in a Boat, this compendium of essays is largely considered one of his finest works. Now given a new lease of life in this unabridged recording, Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow is essential reading for those who enjoy the entertaining writings of Jerome – which resonate still today.
  Jerome K. Jerome (1859 – 1927) was an English author and actor. Renowned for his comic works, he is best known for the hilarious travelogue, Three Men in a Boat. A prolific writer and admirer of the theatre, he penned several novels, essays and plays throughout his life.

  A Heart Full of Peace

  Love, compassion, and peace - these words are at the heart of all spiritual endeavors. Although we intuitively resonate with their meaning and value, for most of us, the challenge is how to embody what we know: how to transform these words into a vibrant, living practice. In these times of conflict and uncertainty, this transformation is far more than an abstract ideal; it is an urgent necessity. Peace in the world begins with us. This wonderfully appealing offering from one the most trusted elders of Buddhism in the West is a warm and engaging exploration of the ways we can cultivate and manifest peace as wise and skillful action in the world.This charming book is illuminated throughout with lively, joyous, and sometimes even funny citations from a host of contemporary and ancient sources - from the poetry of W.S. Merwin and Galway Kinnell to the haiku of Issa and the great poet-monk Ryokan, from the luminous aspirations of Saint Francis of Assisi to the sage advice of Thich Nhat Hanh and the Dalai Lama.

  What explains our attitudes towards the environment? Why do so many climate change initiatives fail? How can we do more to prevent humans damaging the environment?The Psychology of Climate Change explores the evidence for our changing environment, and suggests that there are significant cognitive biases in how we think about, and act on climate change. The authors examine how organisations have attempted to mobilise the public in the fight against climate change, but these initiatives have often failed due to the public’s unwillingness to adapt their behaviour. The book also explores why some people deny climate change altogether, and the influence that these climate change deniers can have on global action to mitigate further damage.By analysing our attitudes to the environment, The Psychology of Climate Change argues that we must think differently about climate change to protect our planet, as a matter of great urgency.

  WE ARE LIVING AT A CRITICAL POINT IN OUR HISTORY, and our human civilization as we know it is on the verge of a radical transformation. 
  In our attempt to regain that lost paradise, we can become obsessed with regaining a sense of security, even if for only a brief moment. The problem with that longing is that we often look in the wrong places. We learn, all too often, that most things that society promises will bring us happiness never really live up to expectations. The moral compass that defines our Western societies seems to spin toward decadence; people move away from patriotism, religion, and family values, while falling prey to ideologies that are the antithesis of those traditions. Then we find that intolerance, violence, anti-family agendas, and an overall lack of a moral compass lead us to a spiral into nowhere. 
  This book promises to free you from the mental prison we've been subjected to; you will finally be able to reclaim your true self, as well as:Discover who really rules the world and why.Uncover the great deception you've been subjected to in all aspects of life.Open your perspective to unknown dimensions.Regain control of your mind through critical thinking.Discover your truth and expand your consciousness to the unimaginable.Reconnect with your true, infinite self.Tap into the power of love to attain abundance and total freedom.
