  How can you attract more money? 
  How can you become a literal magnet of wealth and passively enjoy the wealth you have accumulated? 
  Well, it’s not always but for most of us, It’s possible. Instead of going into specifics of various businesses, this book deals with the basic mindset you need to attract wealth and think on a higher level. It covers saving up, investing, and discovering your course in life, so that you can do what you are passionate about. 
  Just having money, though, doesn’t free us from mental issues. So, to top it all off, one entire chapter is devoted to dealing with the stress factors in your life through mindfulness and meditation. These two terms are often interrelated because they make you more aware of your surroundings instead of bottling all your problems and frustrations up inside of you.

  The romantic and practical entanglements practiced by the working class, gentry, nobility, and even the Queen—from the author of Scandalous Liaisons.   Most people have always been interested in sex, love and marriage. Now, this entertaining and informative book explores the surprisingly varied and energetic sex and love lives of the women and men of Queen Elizabeth’s England. A range of writers, from the famous, such as Shakespeare, John Donne and Ben Jonson, and lesser-known figures popular in their time, provide, in their witty stories, poems and plays, vivid pictures of Elizabethan sexual attitudes and experiences, while sober reports from the church courts tell of seductions, adulteries and rapes. Here we also encounter private journals and scenes from ordinary marriages, with complaints of women’s fashions, bossy wives and domineering husbands. Besides this, there are accounts of the busy whores of London brothels, homosexual activity and the Court’s amorous carousel of predatory aristocrats, promiscuous ladies and hopeful maids of honour. We conclude with the frustrations of The Virgin Queen herself.   This lively review of Elizabethan sexuality, in its various forms, much of it brought together for the first time, should intrigue and amuse anyone with an interest in history, and how love used to be lived, “in good Queen Bess’s golden days.”  “A unique look at love and marriage in the late Tudor dynasty.” —Adventures of a Tudor Nerd  “Informative and, at times, funny . . . stories and accounts that seem to make Elizabethan England jump off the page at you.” —Love British History

  An engrossing chronicle of the Fourth Crusade and the fall of the Holy Roman Empire, from the bestselling author of Thermopylae.At the dawn of the thirteenth century, Constantinople stood as the bastion of Christianity in Eastern Europe. The capital city of the Byzantine Empire, it was a center of art, culture, and commerce that had commanded trading routes between Asia, Russia, and Europe for hundreds of years. But in 1204, the city suffered a devastating attack that would spell the end of the Holy Roman Empire. The army of the Fourth Crusade had set out to reclaim Jerusalem, but under the sway of their Venetian patrons, the crusaders diverted from their path in order to lay siege to Constantinople. With longstanding tensions between the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches, the crusaders set arms against their Christian neighbors, destroying a vital alliance between Eastern and Western Rome. In The Great Betrayal, historian Ernle Bradford brings to life this powerful tale of envy and greed, demonstrating the far-reaching consequences this siege would have across Europe for centuries to come.
