  An intimate retelling of Lyndon B. Johnson's politics and presidency by one of his closest advisors. 
   
   
   
  Horace Busby was one of LBJ's most trusted advisors; their close working and personal relationship spanned twenty years. In The Thirty-First of March he offers an indelible portrait of a president and a presidency at a time of crisis. From the aftereffects of the Kennedy assassination, when Busby was asked by the newly sworn-in president to sit by his bedside during his first troubled nights in office, to the concerns that defined the Great Society—civil rights, the economy, social legislation, housing, and the Vietnam War—Busby not only articulated and refined Johnson's political thinking, he also helped shape the most ambitious, far-reaching legislative agenda since FDR's New Deal. 
   
   
   
  Here is Johnson the politician, Johnson the schemer, Johnson who advised against JFK's choice of an open limousine that fateful day in Dallas, and Johnson the father, sickened by the deaths of young men fighting and dying in Vietnam on his orders. The Thirty-first of March is a rare glimpse into the inner sanctum of Johnson's presidency, as seen through the eyes of one of the people who understood him best.

  What is liberation? How does the mind become still? What is happiness?Who am I? is the title of a series of 28 questions and answers that Sri M. Shivaprakasham Pillai asked the Indian master Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi around 1902. He visited the master in a cave on Mount Arunachala in southern India and asked for spiritual guidance.It is recorded that Ramana Maharshi answered these questions in Tamil, the language he was familiar with. This text was first published in Tamil in 1923, underwent several revisions, was translated into English by an Indian scholar from the University of Madras in 1982 and finally translated into a modern German version in 2002. The questions that were asked over a hundred years ago have lost none of their validity. The radical answers bear witness to a profound knowledge of the nature of the human spirit and point in an emphatic and uncompromising way to the possibility of realising our true self.This work is one of the only two prose pieces among Ramana Maharshi's messages in his own words. They clearly represent the central teaching that the path of knowledge, the enquiry with the question 'Who am I?' is the direct path to liberation. 'Self-enquiry leads directly to Self-realisation by removing the obstacles that make us think that the Self is not yet realised.'  Sri Ramana MaharshiIn the foreword, OM C. Parkin describes the essence of this spiritual treasure in clear and impressive words: 'All questions that arise from the depths of the human soul ultimately lead to a single one: "Who am I?" The instruction to this last of all questions contains the knowledge that everything a person seeks can only be found within. Love is within. Truth is within. God is within. God is the Self.'

  FINDING MY LOST VOICE - By...

  Reclaim Your Voice, Reshape the Future 
  Sparks challenges the status quo of those who feel sidelined and shutdown, those believing that it is better to remain silent than to be shamed into silence. He reminds readers that to shape a better, collective future, it is crucial that they courageously find their voice. The book is thoughtfully provocative, but also sensitive. 
  In Finding My Lost Voice Sparks steps carefully into controversial conversations that have polarised the world. He is reflective, inspiring readers to think carefully and to engage constructively with each discussion; whether that is white privilege, homosexuality, body image, or whether it is better to support Israel or Palestine. He persuades readers to reject mob mentality, and to embrace free speech whilst learning to think independently. 
  Sparks’s unique lens is that of a heterosexual, white, Christian man in his late 50’s. He speaks as a person some may prefer to cancel! But he speaks, nonetheless. He calls readers to embrace three indispensable qualities that must flavour every engagement: justice, kindness, and humility. 
  Standing at the intersection of conviction and complacency, readers must choose: Will they settle for a life of quiet desperation? Or will they ignore the voices trying to silence them? Will they find their lost voice?
