Beschreibung

Samuel Pepys' "Diary of Samuel Pepys — Complete 1661 N.S" offers a vivid and intimate portrait of life in 17th-century England, eloquently capturing the personal and public upheavals of the time. Written in a detailed, engaging style, the diary entries reflect Pepys' astute observations of contemporary events, ranging from the Great Plague to the Great Fire of London. The narrative unfolds in a blend of formal and colloquial language, intertwining personal reflections with historical commentary, making it a vital primary source for understanding the Restoration period. Samuel Pepys, a naval administrator and Member of Parliament, kept his diary from 1660 to 1669, motivated by a desire to document his life and witness the significant transformations in England. His background in government and society propelled him into the heart of historical events, as he mingled with prominent figures of his time, illuminating the complexities of the era's politics, culture, and daily life. Pepys' meticulousness and candidness allow readers to glimpse his private thoughts and experiences amidst the larger societal shifts. This work is highly recommended for anyone interested in historical literature, as it transcends mere documentation to provide an engaging narrative that resonates with contemporary readers. Pepys' diary is not only a rich resource for historians but also an entertaining read that offers timeless insights into human nature and societal change.

    *** Premium Ebook with beautiful layout ***The men of olden times who wrought well in prayer, who brought the largest things to pass, who moved God to do great things, were those who were entirely given over to God in their praying. God wants, and must have, all that there is in man in answering his prayers. He must have whole-hearted men through whom to work out His purposes and plans concerning men. God must have men in their entirety. No double-minded man need apply. No vacillating man can be used. No man with a divided allegiance to God, and the world and self, can do the praying that is needed.In one word, the entire man without reservation must love God. So it takes the same entire man to do the praying which God requires of men. All the powers of man must be engaged in it. God cannot tolerate a divided heart in the love He requires of men, neither can He bear with a divided man in praying.

     Emily and I combined our powers once again to discuss Jo's and Friedrich's relationships and Louisa May Alcott's attraction toward intelligence. When Friedrich gives feedback to Jo, Jo appreciates it, because she wants to develop as a writer. Friedrich Bhaer is based on philosopher Henry David Thoreau. Louisa was in love with him and he appears in literal disguise in all of her novels. He is also based on Alcott's favourite writer, the German poet Goethe. Unlike Greta Gerwig that lies to millions of people, Jo and Friedrich never argue in the book, and Friedrich is the one who helps her to become a writer. He literally gives the same advice to Jo, as Goethe inspired LMA to improve as a writer. Laurie is partially based on Alcott's ex, Laddie Wisniewski, and her friend Alf Whitman. She had a maternal relationship with both of these men who were younger than she. One of the goals of the Little Women podcast is to examine these relationships, and how (several) Little Women adaptations ignore their significance. 
    Here´s what listeners have said about the Little Women podcast:

    What a beautiful podcast! It’s so insightful and entertaining. It understands the characters perfectly (especially Laurie), I love it 
    Jen 
    As a long-time, die-hard Little Women fan, I LOVE this podcast! I stumbled upon it while doing research for a book series I was working on, and I am addicted! Niina is super knowledgeable in all things LW, from the book(s) to the movies and author Louisa May Alcott’s real life. I love that the discussions are based on the book and highlight the differences (sometimes controversial) between the original and newer adaptations. Highly recommended for anybody who loves getting lost in the world of Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March.

    Do you feel confident at work? Are there times when you lack confidence but can’t show it? The role of confidence in successful leadership is both significant and undisputed and yet organizations are full of leaders and teams who don’t have as much as they want and, even worse, are not doing anything about it. 
     
    Attempts to develop confidence are usually confined to empty affirmations and vanilla-flavored self-help books. In contrast, this book provides an evidence-based code that outlines the steps we can all take to positively shift our confidence and that of our teams. Confident Leaders by Design is for leaders at all levels looking for a rigorous yet accessible approach to confidence development. Through research and fascinating anecdotes it reveals the surprising secrets to supercharging leadership potential through confidence creation. 
     
    Alongside the theory, listeners will practically locate their confidence sweet spot and explore activities like sludge audits, confidence curves, and self-efficacy circles which will help them to immediately start growing confidence in themselves and their teams.

    Emotional numbness is a silent struggle that many people experience but rarely talk about. It’s that feeling of emptiness, the sense that something is missing even when life seems fine on the surface. You go through the motions of daily life, yet deep inside, there’s a void you can’t quite explain. Some people describe it as feeling detached, as if they’re watching their life from the outside without truly participating in it. Others might feel nothing at all, unable to connect with joy, sadness, or even excitement. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone.  
      
    In a world that constantly demands productivity and success, emotional well-being often takes a back seat. Many people dismiss their feelings, assuming that if they push through, things will eventually get better. But ignoring emotional numbness doesn’t make it go away. Instead, it lingers, slowly affecting relationships, motivation, and overall quality of life. This book was written to help you understand why you feel this way and, more importantly, how to regain the sense of connection and fulfillment that may seem lost.  
      
    Understanding emotional numbness requires looking beyond the surface. It’s not just about feeling “off” or disconnected—it often stems from deeper issues like unresolved trauma, chronic stress, or a lack of purpose. Some people experience it after prolonged emotional suppression, while others might feel empty due to unfulfilled needs or a sense of isolation. The reasons can vary, but the result is the same: a life that feels dull, unfulfilling, and distant. The good news is that emotional numbness is not permanent. With the right awareness and strategies, you can break free from this state and start experiencing life more fully.
