  WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK OF ME 
  (Is none of my business) 
  Everyone who has ever walked the face of the earth has at one point felt unworthy, unloved, uninspired, lost, hurt, overwhelmed, angry, scared or frustrated. 
  What if you no longer had to feel this way? 
  What if you could create the life you wanted? 
  What if the words and actions of others had no influence over how you felt? 
  Wouldn’t suicide rates decrease and domestic violence be less of a scourge on society? 
  Nothing in your life is your fault; but everything is your responsibility. 
  Would you hand the controls of a plane over to someone less qualified than you? Then why let other people control how you feel? 
  ---------- 
  Through reading over 900 books on personal development and working with experts like Tony Robbins & Dr John Demartini, J.D Moorea (Dan Shearin) discovered a simple yet effective way to overcome almost any challenge that life threw at him. 
  From seeing himself as a victim of suicide, a co-creator of volatile relationships and being publicly defamed, then wrongly charged with murder, J.D has since found peace and happiness in all areas of his life. He now wants to share his learnings with those who may have lost their way, or feel unsatisfied with their life. 
  If you have ever contemplated suicide, been in a violent relationship, felt unworthy, been bullied, harassed or discriminated against; then this book is for you.

  Through the Morgue Door - One...

  In 1934, at the age of fourteen, Colette Brull-Ulmann knew that she wanted to become a pediatrician. By 1942, Brull-Ulman and her family had become registered Jews under the ever-increasing statutes against them enacted by Petain's government. Her father had been arrested and interned at the Drancy detention camp and Brull-Ulman had become an intern at the Rothschild Hospital. 
   
   
   
  Under Claire Heyman, a charismatic social worker who was a leader of the hospital's secret escape network, Brull-Ulmann began working tirelessly to rescue Jewish children treated at the Rothschild. Ultimately, Brull-Ulmann was forced to flee the Rothschild in 1943, when she joined her father's resistance network, gathering and delivering information for De Gaulle's secret intelligence agency until the Liberation in 1945. 
   
   
   
  In 1970, Brull-Ulmann finally became a licensed pediatrician. It wasn't until decades later when she finally started to speak publicly—not only about her own work and survival, but about the one child who affected her most deeply. Originally published in French in 2017, Brull-Ulmann's memoir fearlessly illustrates the horrors of Jewish life under the German Occupation and casts light on the heretofore unknown story of the Rothschild Hospital during this period.

  From the perfection of their hexagonal honeycombs to their ordered matriarchal society, bees have been revered for thousands of years.
  In this beautifully illustrated book, beekeeper's daughter and student of folklore Eimear Chaomhánach weaves folktales about bees with memories of growing up in a beekeeping household, collecting swarms with her father and learning how to harvest honey.
  With legends about Aristotle and Irish saints and accounts of customs such as 'telling the bees', this is a fascinating look at the beliefs and traditions about bees and beekeeping.

  The Tin Ring by Zdenka Fantlova is read by Ann Rachlin.
  
  A unique and incredible story of love, human endurance, and willpower. How a 17-year-old girl survived the horrors of six Nazi concentration camps. The author, now 99 years old, is a compelling speaker and still available for interviews. She had one of the longest queues for her book signing when she appeared at the Hay Festival. Zdenka Fantlová's peaceful life was changed forever when she was sent to Terezín concentration camp. Here, she was given a humble engraved tin ring by her first love Arno. When he gave her the ring he said, "That's for our engagement. And, to keep you safe. If we are both alive when the war ends I will find you."
  
  Arno was sent east on a penal transport later that same day. Zdenka survived six concentration camps including Auschwitz, Gross Rosen, Mauthausen, and Belsen - the worst of all - risking her life for the tin ring. In the last chaotic days of the war in Belsen she crawled to a Red Cross post. There she was saved by an unknown British soldier to whom the audiobook is dedicated.
  
  "An unforgettable memoir...deserves to be read for its unique story and for its shared message about the unrelenting human spirit." (Publisher's Weekly)
  
  "These are stories we must read and never forget." (Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks)
  
  "Zdenka Fantlová and her story made a lasting impression. She survived six concentration camps, endured horrors the like of which most of us can't begin to comprehend, yet never lost the will to live or her optimism for a better future. During her time in the camps she kept a little tin ring, made for her by her boyfriend. She risked her life to keep this humble object that meant so much to her." (Fiona Bruce, BBC's Antiques Roadshow)
