  The Gods Were Astronauts - The...

  Erich von Däniken

  Bestselling author Erich von Däniken explores the evidence of ancient visitors treated as gods in religious scripture and mythology. His findings shake the foundations of both science and faith.Why do nearly all the world’s major religions share similar myths and legends? Whether it’s the Old Testament, ancient legends, or the creation myths of New Zealand’s natives, you come across similar stories everywhere. Erich von Däniken, author of the international bestseller Chariots of the Gods, believes he knows the answer—and it is as wondrous and awe-inspiring as it is controversial: The winged angels populating the Bible, the Koran, and other religious texts from cultures the world over were, in reality, extraterrestrials who visited the Earth in ages long past.Who were the gods of ancient lore? How can the contradictions in the Bible be explained? Why are the pagodas of Myanmar (formerly Burma) so amazingly similar to space-capable rockets? Erich von Däniken provides convincing new and surprising interpretations and answers that fundamentally contradict both the teachings of religion and current science. His astonishing conclusion: The gods were not metaphysical beings that humans created in their imagination, but extraterrestrial intelligences that have left their traces all over the Earth. He offers persuasive evidence that actual living beings inspired the legends that became the basis for many of our religious traditions.

  You’ve been told what love should feel like. Movies. Songs. Butterflies. Obsession. That can’t-eat-can’t-sleep intensity that takes over your mind and body. 
    
  But when you finally meet someone who’s actually healthy for you—emotionally available, consistent, genuinely kind—it doesn’t feel like that at all. It feels calm. Steady. Sometimes almost boring. And you start wondering: Where are the fireworks? Where’s the chemistry? 
    
  What Healthy Love Actually Feels Like is a grounded, emotionally honest audiobook about unlearning the chaos you were taught to call passion—and learning how to recognize healthy love when it shows up as something quieter. 
    
  Across seven clear lessons, you’ll learn what healthy love feels like in real life:Why safety can feel like “no spark” when you’re used to anxietyThe difference between intensity and intimacy (nervous-system activation vs. nervous-system rest)How being seen feels different from being impressedWhy consistency creates trust—and intensity often creates addictionHow freedom and space are signs of security (not rejection)Why respect matters more than chemistry once real life beginsHow healthy love feels like home: calm, steady, non-performative 
  This isn’t a book about dating games or “playing it cool.” It’s about learning to stop mistaking attachment wounds for chemistry, and choosing the kind of connection that doesn’t make you bracing for impact. 
  Because healthy love doesn’t feel like falling.  It feels like landing. 
  -- 
  Includes a practical Companion Guide with grounding prompts, body-based check-ins, and simple exercises to help you recognize healthy love in real time—and stay with calm instead of chasing chaos.

  I asked my Year 1 class, ‘What’s the best thing that’s ever happened to you?’ 
  George Pointon asks his class a lot of questions. What do you want to be when you grow up? What do you reckon your parents do while you’re at school? Can you put that down, please? JJ, the stapler – can you put it down? 
  He’s also got a few for himself: what is he doing here? Who was he kidding, thinking he could teach? 
  But the course of true professional fulfilment never did run smooth, and there’s no backing out now. 
  In this book, George takes us along on his first year inside the messy, magical world of primary school teaching. In the company of five-year-olds – who are somehow wisdom, innocence and chaos incarnate – there is always lots to be learned. 
  In Teacher Man, George Pointon masterfully combines elements of autobiography and non-fiction to provide a candid look at education and parenting. His essays delve into the complexities of behavioural management and relationships within the school environment, offering a unique perspective on the role of educators. 
  For fans of Maggie Hartley (Please Help My Mummy), James A. Grymes (Violins of Hope), Ajay Tegala (Wetland Diaries), Julie Ryan Mcgue (Twice a Daughter), and Samantha Harvey (The Shapeless Unease).
