Book Description
A heart-swelling debut for fans of The Silver Linings Playbook and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. Sometimes life isn’t as simple as heroes and villains. For Zelda, a twenty-one-year-old Viking enthusiast who lives with her older brother, Gert, life is best lived with some basic rules: 1. A smile means “thank you for doing something small that I liked.” 2. Fist bumps and dabs = respect. 3. Strange people are not appreciated in her home. 4. Tomatoes must go in the middle of the sandwich and not get the bread wet. 5. Sometimes the most important things don’t fit on lists. But when Zelda finds out that Gert has resorted to some questionable—and dangerous—methods to make enough money to keep them afloat, Zelda decides to launch her own quest. Her mission: to be legendary. It isn’t long before Zelda finds herself in a battle that tests the reach of her heroism, her love for her brother, and the depth of her Viking strength. When We Were Vikings is an uplifting debut about an unlikely heroine whose journey will leave you wanting to embark on a quest of your own, because after all... We are all legends of our own making.

Soul Mates
Author: Frank Mares
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781974024827
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
A fun supernatural version of "Fifty Shades" where a sensual psychic falls into risky affair with a currently married past life soul mate. In his first book, "The Spirits Control your Love Life", psychic Frank Mares showed how the Universe preplanned all his long-term love affairs to teach hard spiritual lessons. Unfortunately for him, love's hard lessons continue after the events of his first book. Late in life, Frank (through his alter ego, Nick Furnese) finds himself almost unwillingly reunited with Megan, his now psychic ex-lover from 20 years ago. Megan was the love of his life and the girl "who got away." The hero gets an unexpected second chance when a series of remarkable coincidences bring Nick and Megan back together even though she is married. As the lovers spend time together, the spirit world reveals that they are soul mates who had shared 12 past lives. To be finally together in this life, their spirit guides/guardian angels give them a very specific plan to follow. Unfortunately, the free-spirited Megan wants to do things her own way and Heaven's closely timed plan spirals badly out of control. What results is a freewheeling emotional roller coaster when Megan's parasitic, womanizing husband discovers the affair and does everything in his power to stop it. Reminiscent of a divine comedy, the lovers' deceased relatives become a wisecracking "Greek chorus" cheering on the fumbling couple as they try to reunite. As the spirit of Nick's deceased father remarks, "Your drama is better than Peyton Place!" At the end of this adventure, you will know whether you should search for your soulmate or to run as far away as you can.

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
From David Graeber, the bestselling author of The Dawn of Everything and Debt—“a master of opening up thought and stimulating debate” (Slate)—a powerful argument against the rise of meaningless, unfulfilling jobs…and their consequences. Does your job make a meaningful contribution to the world? In the spring of 2013, David Graeber asked this question in a playful, provocative essay titled “On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs.” It went viral. After one million online views in seventeen different languages, people all over the world are still debating the answer. There are hordes of people—HR consultants, communication coordinators, telemarketing researchers, corporate lawyers—whose jobs are useless, and, tragically, they know it. These people are caught in bullshit jobs. Graeber explores one of society’s most vexing and deeply felt concerns, indicting among other villains a particular strain of finance capitalism that betrays ideals shared by thinkers ranging from Keynes to Lincoln. “Clever and charismatic” (The New Yorker), Bullshit Jobs gives individuals, corporations, and societies permission to undergo a shift in values, placing creative and caring work at the center of our culture. This book is for everyone who wants to turn their vocation back into an avocation and “a thought-provoking examination of our working lives” (Financial Times).

The Spirits Control Your Love Life
Author: Frank Mares
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781506021683
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
In this personal account, one man details how his past life sins had a direct effect on his love life. Frank Mares, a successful middle-aged businessman, was always mystified why his love life was snake bitten. Others thought of him as a considerate, funny guy with good looks, but every one of his long-term relationships with attractive women ended in a fiery wreck. After the death of his father, he started a meditation practice that inexplicably rewarded him with psychic abilities. With his new gift, he discovers that reincarnation is real and he recovers facts about nine of his past lives. Most of those lives involved violent, bloody deaths. Mares goes on a spiritual journey to find out why he kept dying violently and why he couldn't find the love he was looking for in his current life. The answers do not come easily, but by using a team of three world class psychics, he tracks down the shocking reason why the Universe is angry with his soul. The psychic team finds that within the soul of this normal, small businessman resides a brutal, stone killer from the 1600's, who surprisingly was the revered founder of a gentile noble family. The killer's portrait still hangs in his tourist destination castle outside of Prague, while Mares pays his Karmic bill. Mares hopes to salvage the dark time in his soul's past into something that could help others today. Specifically, he found that everyone's long term romantic relationships were preplanned before their births. This planning was done not so that you can find love and happiness, but rather so that your soul can learn spiritual lessons through heartache. By examining his past relationships with a new perspective, he saw how the Universe set him up for romantic doom through amazing coincidental encounters and by ruthlessly preventing more suitable girls from ever meeting him. If you read this book, you will never look at Love and Death in the same way again. In addition, some of your past romantic disappointments might now start to make sense.

The Man Who Touched His Own Heart

Publisher: Little, Brown
ISBN: 0316225800
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 355
Book Description
The secret history of our most vital organ: the human heart. The Man Who Touched His Own Heart tells the raucous, gory, mesmerizing story of the heart, from the first "explorers" who dug up cadavers and plumbed their hearts' chambers, through the first heart surgeries -- which had to be completed in three minutes before death arrived -- to heart transplants and the latest medical efforts to prolong our hearts' lives, almost defying nature in the process. Thought of as the seat of our soul, then as a mysteriously animated object, the heart is still more a mystery than it is understood. Why do most animals only get one billion beats? (And how did modern humans get to over two billion, effectively letting us live out two lives?) Why are sufferers of gingivitis more likely to have heart attacks? Why do we often undergo expensive procedures when cheaper ones are just as effective? What do Da Vinci, Mary Shelley, and contemporary Egyptian archaeologists have in common? And what does it really feel like to touch your own heart, or to have someone else's beating inside your chest? Rob Dunn's fascinating history of our hearts brings us deep inside the science, history, and stories of the four chambers we depend on most.
