A Tale of Futures Yet Unwritten

Pasquale De Marco

Beschreibung

In a world obsessed with predicting and controlling the future, one author dares to ask: What if we embraced uncertainty instead?

In this thought-provoking and timely book, Pasquale De Marco argues that our attempts to control the future are not only futile, but also dangerous. He shows how our obsession with futurecasting has led to a loss of control over our own lives and destinies.

Drawing on a wide range of sources, from history and philosophy to psychology and economics, Pasquale De Marco reveals the hidden costs of our future-oriented society. He shows how our fear of the unknown has led us to become more anxious, more risk-averse, and less creative. He also argues that our attempts to control the future have had a devastating impact on the environment and on our relationships with each other.

But Pasquale De Marco does not simply criticize our obsession with the future. He also offers a path forward. He shows how we can learn to live in the present moment, embrace uncertainty, and create a better future for ourselves and for generations to come.

This book is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the future of humanity. It is a call to action for all of us to rethink our relationship to time and to embrace the beauty and mystery of the unknown.

In this book, you will learn:

* Why our attempts to control the future are futile
* The dangers of our obsession with futurecasting
* How to live in the present moment and embrace uncertainty
* How to create a better future for yourself and for generations to come

If you are ready to let go of the illusion of control and embrace the unknown, then this book is for you.

Going Under - Kidnapping Murder...

John Madinger

A former law enforcement agent details his adventures during his career working undercover in this memoir. 
 
“I just want to make sure I’ve got this right. You hanged all three of them? . . .”  
 
That’s how it began, a case where the cops are crooks and the crooks are cops, a kidnapping where the victim is the bad guy, and the good guys must cross some lines to get him back. Welcome to the upside down and backward world of the undercover agent, where nothing is as it seems, and people—including the undercover—may not be what they appear. Going Under: Kidnapping, Murder, and A Life Undercover by former undercover agent John Madinger takes you into that world, and closer to the truth of the undercover experience than any other law enforcement memoir has ever gone. 
 
“What is it like to work undercover?” You’re a sheepdog in wolf’s clothing, running with the pack, and Madinger ran with the wolves for almost two decades. Now he shares his story to give you a unique look at American crime and the “War on Drugs” from the perspective of both cops and criminals. You’ll go with the undercover cops to meetings with street-corner hustlers and rip-off artists and into the lives of America’s biggest rock stars, the world’s richest man, an Academy Award–winning actor, the marijuana traffickers conspiring to assassinate a federal judge, and the President of the United States. It’s an amazing ride, and there has never been another story like it.

Kissing Asphalt - The Courageous...

Delicia Niami

Resilience isn’t inherited. It’s a hard-fought skill forged by our ability to pick up the broken pieces of our past and remake them into something new.
Meet four-year-old Delicia, a poor but carefree child who is about to have her world shattered. Along with her seven-year-old brother Nile, she is kidnapped from her Los Angeles home by her estranged father and taken to Iraq, a foreign world she has never known. This is just the beginning of a string of traumas, hardships, and assaults Delicia will endure throughout her tumultuous childhood.
Now an adult living back in California, Delicia Niami bravely recounts how she survived the unimaginable in her debut memoir. Kissing Asphalt, the first in her memoir trilogy, ResilientAF, grapples with the power of resilience, acceptance, and self-love. She revisits her terrifying past with vulnerability, compassion, and the honesty of a true survivor. Hold hands with Delicia as she faces her childhood scars and learns how to confront her fears, accept her true value and identity, and embrace her unique gifts. It’s a multi-decade roller coaster ride that is the beginning of her liberation, propelling her to live an inspired life and embrace her full human potential—a human potential she knows lives inside everyone, no matter what life has thrown at us.
For anyone who has struggled with childhood trauma, Delicia’s unflinching journey through darkness and back to light will resonate. She has decided to share her story publicly in hopes that it will serve as a guide to the many who have suffered in silence and continue to struggle against the daunting weight imposed by childhood trauma.
