In Search of Marvellousness. Fear, pain and the pursuit of happiness. The back story. Is your pain telling you something? Do you listen to it or try to drown it out? What if your discomfort inspired you to push beyond, but you chose to avoid being uncomfortable? This is a story of pain, discomfort, fear and rejection and how an action man learns to embrace and listen to his spirit. In Search of Marvellousness is a story where everything happens at once and time is fluid, not unlike Kurt Vonnegut’s “Slaughterhouse-Five”, but without the extraterrestrials. It’s a tale of a life filled with adventure and travel like Roald Dahl’s “Going Solo” but without a war. It reflects Louise Hay’s “You Can Heal Your Life”, where pain and discomfort keep coming until the lesson is learned, but without affirmations. In Search of Marvellousness is the inner story of Marcus Lovett, the boy from Bendigo who just wanted to travel the world and have a good time. From being Australia’s first freestyle skier in the 1988 Olympics Winter Games at Calgary to being an Acapulco cliff diver and stuntman, risking life and limb for glory and a few dollars. The physical pain of breaks and dislocations screamed lessons sometimes lost in translation but continued until they were understood. In Search of Marvellousness covers the mental and emotional self-doubts of imposter syndrome. Marcus produces and hosts the long-running television show called Snowshow. Filmed worldwide and broadcast globally, the Snowshow was a skiing and snowboarding travel show. Though he was earning money doing what he loved, he still felt like a ski bum looking for his next free ride. In Search of Marvellousness explores the connection between physical, mental, emotional and spiritual discomfort. Marcus explores the joy of fear and discovers self-esteem is the answer, constantly reminding himself to keep the spirit.Ver livro

1996: The year that shaped a generation, revisited three decades on by Ex Sun Editor, Dominic Mohan 1996 a year that shaped a generation – all the glamour, glitz and grit of the 1990s relived, by the man who lived through it all, Ex Sun Editor, Dominic Mohan. From the death of Kurt Cobain, to the birth of Britpop, Mohan forensically examines the era when you could truly come as you are. 1996 follows the year when all elements of British culture; music, politics, football, fashion, food, art and media collided spectacularly, allowing Britain to reclaim it's title as the artistic center of the world. Mohan looks back (without anger), through the lens of his insider perspective, at the decade where records sold in their millions, rock icons made friends in politics and no one knew what an iPhone was. Drawing on interviews from major 90s icons and legends, 1996 is an authoritative account of the pivotal period that saw the biggest artistic bomb in the nation since the swinging sixties. This book tells the story of one of the most influential eras, with keen observations, reflections and exclusive content throughout. nanVer livro
Crime and Punishment is a novel by the Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky. It was first published in the literary journal The Russian Messenger in twelve monthly installments during 1866. It was later published in a single volume. It is the second of Dostoevsky's full-length novels following his return from ten years of exile in Siberia. Crime and Punishment is considered the first great novel of his mature period of writing. The novel is often cited as one of the supreme achievements in world literature.Crime and Punishment follows the mental anguish and moral dilemmas of Rodion Raskolnikov, an impoverished ex-student in Saint Petersburg who plans to kill an unscrupulous pawnbroker, an old woman who stores money and valuable objects in her flat. He theorises that with the money he could liberate himself from poverty and go on to perform great deeds, and seeks to convince himself that certain crimes are justifiable if they are committed in order to remove obstacles to the higher goals of 'extraordinary' men. Once the deed is done, however, he finds himself racked with confusion, paranoia, and disgust. His theoretical justifications lose all their power as he struggles with guilt and horror and confronts both the internal and external consequences of his deed.Ver livro
The Inward Stage is not a memoir. It is not a manual. It is not a book of secrets. It is a quietly luminous document, part philosophical journal, part poetic confession, written by a mindreader who spends his life performing illusions for others while quietly unraveling deeper truths for himself. Drawn from times spent backstage, between cities, between minds, and between silences, these pages reveal the reflections of a man who reads thoughts not for applause, but for understanding. He writes of wonder, failure, silence, intimacy, and the sacred art of disappearing at just the right moment. This is a book for those who have performed, on stages or in life, and for anyone who has ever longed to be understood beneath the surface. Written in fragments, aphorisms, and meditations, The Inward Stage is a love letter to mystery, a witness to the sacredness of connection, and a guide for those who find themselves standing quietly at the edge of the visible world.Ver livro
