    The “Shakespeare and the Stars” series celebrate the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death and offer fresh and exciting insights into the ever-popular works of the world’s greatest playwright. Each analysis specifically highlights Shakespeare’s use of the archetypal language of astrological symbolism in both obvious and subtle ways. Such references would have been well known in Shakespeare’s time, but their deeper significance is lost to modern-day playgoers and readers.By keying each play to a specific zodiacal sign and its associated (or ruling) planet, Shakespeare alerted his audience to their significance in revealing character, foreshadowing the plot, and establishing key themes for each play.Each book ranges widely, incorporating related and relevant information from astrological tradition, classical and Renaissance philosophy, Greek and Roman mythology, esoteric wisdom, modern psychology (especially that of C. G. Jung), and great literature. Modern readers will find that each book will illuminate its play from a fresh perspective that deepens and profoundly transforms one’s understanding of these magnificent classics.Each book is 64 pages and is designed to be taken to performances or studied before and after reading and enjoying the play.The first three titles in the series are: The Merchant of Venice, King Lear, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream.The Merchant of Venice is attuned to both Taurus and Libra and their ruler Venus.

    The Heart of a Teacher is a celebration of thanks to the teachers of the world. The Heart of a Teacher is filled with inspirational stories and poems that reflect the hearts of teachers and their commitment to making a difference in each life they touch. Mac Anderson explains why he chose to publish this book: "Part of my intention in publishing our gift book for educators, Heart of a Teacher, was to honor the teachers who had made a difference in my life. Ms. Bridges, who taught me in the 4th grade, was amazing! She made learning so much fun and made all of us feel as though we could do anything we wanted to do. Years later, I still remember the impact she made on me as a young child."

    Book Summary of Principles by Ray Dalio 
Important: this is not the original book, this is a summary 
 
About Principles: Life and Work by Ray Dalio 
As one of the most successful investors in the world, Ray Dalio knows how the global financial system works. More importantly, he knows how to run a well-functioning business. In Principles, Ray goes below the surface of the successful reputation of his stock brokerage company, Bridgewater, to reveal the universal truths that he relied on to bring his business from the bottom to the top. Throughout this book, Ray shares principles he's refined over the past 40 years. And in the same way his principles were vital for Bridgewater becoming a leading financial organization, Ray believes they can be harnessed by anyone to experience better results in business or life. In Principles, Ray walks us through how he started his business from the humble beginnings of a two-bedroom apartment. He explains the trajectory of his multi-decade career in detail—including all the pitfalls. By splitting his book into 3 sections—Personal life, Life principles, and Work principles—Ray simplifies his approach to success. In this book summary, we’ll be looking at some of his most actionable ideas. 
 
Here's what you'll learn about in this summary of Principles: 
—How the ‘rational you’ and the ‘emotional you’ fight in your life 
—5-step process for pursuing meaningful goals in life 
—How to stop holding yourself back 
—Why you need other people to be your best self 
—How to hire the best people 
—How to properly plan for success
