    “You want to see well? See with your heart. The essential is invisible to your eyes” 
    In a quiet park at dusk, as I walk, a bright light suddenly appears. As I approach, I see a being like a light watching me with curiosity. 
    He explains that he's visiting. He asks if I could guide him to better understand humanity. He was very kind, and I didn't feel afraid. 
    We sat in the park. I really wanted to speak that afternoon from within. 
    I sensed in him a mixture of sadness for the arduous struggles for freedom on this planet. "Here on Earth, I see you still searching for that connection," he told me with a note of sadness in his luminous voice. "But don't give up. The potential is within you." 
    For those seeking deep, the book becomes an explicit explanation of The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince).

    I Can Give You Anything But Love

    The long-awaited memoir from one of the most acclaimed radical writers in American literature. Described by the London Review of Books as one of "the most brilliant critics writing in America today," Gary Indiana is a true radical whose caustic voice has by turns haunted and influenced the literary and artistic establishments. 
     
     
     
    With I Can Give You Anything but Love, Gary Indiana has composed a literary, unabashedly wicked, and revealing montage of excursions into his life and work—from his early days growing up gay in rural New Hampshire to his escape to Haight-Ashbury in the post-summer-of-love era, the sweltering 1970s in Los Angeles, and ultimately his existence in New York in the 1980s as a bona fide downtown personality. Interspersed throughout his vivid recollections are present-day chapters set against the louche culture and raw sexuality of Cuba, where he has lived and worked occasionally for the past fifteen years. Connoisseurs will recognize in this—his most personal book yet—the same mixture of humor and realism, philosophy and immediacy, that have long confused the definitions of genre applied to his writing. Vivid, atmospheric, revealing, and entertaining, this is an engrossing book and a serious contribution to the genres of gay and literary memoir.

    A Bike at Large is the fourth book in Jo’s ‘At Large’ series. 
    When he was overtaken by a jogger on a borrowed mountain bike, Jo knew it was time for drastic action. Welcome to the world of a man in his 60s and his new e-bike. 
    His first injury occurred within one foot! Setting off for his first practice ride round a car park, he misjudged the width of the handlebars and scraped his hand on the cycle shop’s stone wall. 
    ‘You’ll go places you’ll never have dreamed of,’ said the shop owner. Prophetic words indeed. Eighteen hours later Jo was embedded in his neighbours hedge due to a clothing malfunction. Fortunately, before setting out he’d put his ego and self-esteem in the top drawer in the kitchen. 
    With the emergency ambulance on speed-dial, Jo climbs a steep learning curve on a series of mini adventures throughout the north of England, mercifully with a diminishing distance to injury ratio. 
    By calling his e-bike a ‘Lifestyle Investment’, it took his wife’s mind off the cost. At the time she needed some new slippers, so it was a sensitive issue. Asked whether he was searching for eternal youth? ‘Not really,’ he said, ‘more trying to keep out of my eternal hole in the ground.’ 
    Fuelled by red wine and optimism, off he goes………

    Have you ever observed someone you admire, and thought, "Wouldn't it be nice to be like them and have my shit together too"? 
    That's something Harv often reflected on in his early years, navigating a plethora of challenges coming from many different angles. 
    Here’s the thing – they’re highly likely to be still working on ‘getting their shit’ together’. However, a few have chosen a unique method of personal and professional development using the Collective Intelligence methodology. They do this with like-hearted others to guide them on their pathway to becoming their true selves and unlocking their potential. And they’re still on their journey. 
    In a world where we are increasingly disconnected and fed information that reinforces our existing views, Collective Itelligence provides that level of connection, challenge, safety and care that nurtures curiosity and can help you on your journey.  
    Our author, Ian (Harv) Harvey, a former sheep, beef and deer farmer, chose a different path in his late 40’s to satisfy an itch that just wouldn’t go away. He established Collective Intelligence, a diverse, human ecosystem that takes inspiration from mother nature to grow more emotionally intelligent leaders. As Harv says, “The gift of not being an expert is that it leaves you so much room to be curious about what the fuck is actually going on, and how we best respond to that”. 
    You’ll be inspired to start your own journey with Harv through his earthy, sometimes humorous, sometimes sad, but always true and engaging stories, of his own journey of ‘getting his shit together’. And he’s still not there!
