  The author of The Circle of Simplicity “joyfully invites us to discover a robust and real personal expansion with each other as we remake our society” (Mark Lakeman, cofounder, The City Repair Project). 
   
  Every man for himself! For too long we have lived in a competitive, consumer-oriented culture, destroying the well-being of people and the planet. We believe that money brings happiness, yet all too often, the opposite is true. The pursuit of wealth at any cost corrupts our values and diminishes our lives. The resulting inequality breaks down social cohesion and generates envy, bitterness, and resentment. Greed breeds more greed. 
   
  Living Room Revolution refutes the notion that selfishness is at the root of human nature. Research shows that people—given the right circumstances—can be caring, nurturing and collaborative. Presented with the opportunity, they gravitate toward actions and policies embodying empathy, fairness, and trust instead of competition, fear, and greed. The regeneration of social ties and the sense of caring and purpose that comes from creating community drive this essential transformation. 
   
  At the heart of this movement is the ancient art of conversation. Living Room Revolution provides a practical toolkit of concrete strategies to facilitate personal and social change by bringing people together in community and conversation. 
   
  The heart of happiness is joining with others in good talk and laughter. Each person can make a difference, and it can all start in your own living room! 
   
  “Small groups. Study circles. Stop ’n chats. House parties. Movie nights. Online sharing. Bring people together, and you never know what kind of fuse you’ll ignite for change.” —Wanda Urbanska, author of The Heart of Simple Living

  One Perfect Day – Hungary 1956 is the profoundly moving story of Veronika Csosz, her experiences during the 1956 Hungarian Uprising and her traumatic escape. Veronika's story is also about young people with an unshakeable desire to be free of the fear, violence and oppression of Communist rule which, on a beautiful autumn day, led to the tragic events of 1956. Despite calls for help to the leaders of the free world, Hungary's fight for freedom was overshadowed by the international stand-off over the Suez Canal. Help never came, and the desperate fight for democracy was crushed by the Soviet Army just days after freedom seemed to be won.

  What if you could graduate with honors while living your college years to the fullest? 
  If you’re like most people, then you probably don’t know a lot about learning: how people learn, the mechanics of learning, and how to learn most effectively. That’s why Dr. Noah Volz set out to research the topic. After returning to college for his post-grad studies nearly twenty years after his undergrad, he realized how much the classroom had changed with the advent of the Internet. 
  Dr. Volz wasn’t satisfied to just chalk up his difficulties to his age. He just needed to implement strategies to make the most of what he was being taught. Through his research, which included surveying successful colleagues, Dr. Volz identified eight science-backed tactics to help level-up the learning experience and take any student to the top of the class.

  How you can apply the latest research about learning 
  The key methods for optimizing the learning process 
  How to debunk popular learning myths and pinpoint alternatives that work 
  The secret techniques for acquiring new skills, faster 
  Methods to improve your memorization of anatomy 
  How to train your brain for long-term focus 
  This step-by-step guide will help you live your best life as a student and set you up for lifelong success.
