Happiness - Unlocking the...

Anna Bridges

This book contains the following titles: 
The Joy Journey - Life is a journey, and along this journey, we often find ourselves searching for something that will bring us lasting contentment: happiness. Yet, happiness is not a destination to be reached, but a path to be walked. In a world that constantly demands more from us, it can be easy to overlook the power of small, intentional steps toward joy. We get caught up in the chase for success, the pursuit of external validation, or the quest to fix what we perceive as wrong in our lives. However, true happiness lies not in the perfect outcome, but in how we approach the journey itself. 
The Wellness Mindset - The power of a wellness mindset lies in its ability to reshape how you perceive challenges and opportunities. Life is filled with uncertainties, setbacks, and stressors. However, when you approach these situations with resilience and optimism, you unlock the potential to grow and thrive. Instead of being paralyzed by obstacles, you learn to see them as steppingstones that contribute to personal growth. This shift in perspective not only enhances your emotional strength but also impacts your physical health. Studies have shown that individuals with a positive outlook are less likely to experience chronic illnesses and more likely to recover quickly when faced with adversity.

Christopher Columbus - The...

Kelly Mass

Christopher Columbus was an Italian navigator and explorer who made 4 explorations across the Atlantic Ocean, paving the course for European discovery and settlement of the Americas. His journeys were the first European contacts with the Caribbean, Central America, and South America, and were financed by the Catholic Monarchs of Spain. 
Christopher Columbus is an Anglicization of “Christophorus Columbus,” a Latin name. Columbus was born in the Republic of Genoa and spoke a Ligurian dialect as his mother tongue, according to most intellectuals. He went to sea at an early age and traveled all over the world, as far north as the British Islands and as far south as Ghana. He wed Filipa Moniz Perestrelo, a Portuguese noblewoman, and resided in Lisbon for some years, but later on wed a Castilian girlfriend, with whom he had one child. Columbus, who was primarily self-taught, was skilled in geography, astronomy, and history. He created a technique to find a western sea path to the East Indies, with the objective of benefiting from the wealthy spice trade. 
Christopher Columbus has had a huge impact on the discovery of the American continent, and is still honored and respected to this day, despite of the controversies around his behavior and interaction with the locals. Let’s see what these contradicting opinions are all about.
