Book Description
Psychotherapist David Richo offers a fresh and inspiring approach to personal growth: we can use the process of writing and reading poetry to move toward greater self-understanding and emotional healing. Even if you’ve never written a poem before, you can learn to use poetry to explore your feelings, your relationships, your childhood, your dreams, and more. Richo explains how the creative, intuitive process of making poetry can help us gain access to our deepest truths, leading us to make connections and explore experiences in a new way, beyond the constraints of everyday language. This book offers a range of practical exercises for getting started, as well as guidance on how to read poetry in a way that can be personally transformative. Being True to Life shows us that poetry is not reserved for a few specially talented individuals but is a deeply human activity that anyone can tap into for greater clarity and insight into life’s struggles, beauty, and mysteries.

Book Description
Working life can feel like a never-ending masterclass on how to fit in. Comparing ourselves to others and to standards that are not our own, we strive to prove, mould and 'fix' ourselves. It's so easy to feel overwhelmed, depleted and inadequate. But what if true success and vitality flows from being who we are, not changing who we are? What if everything we need is already inside of us? What if we just need to release the things that weigh us down? This is book is for anyone who: Believes that work can be life-enhancing, not soul-destroying Is sick and tired of trying to 'fix', mould and prove themselves Wants to experience greater fulfillment, success and vitality Beneath all the layers of conditioning, under the masks and armour, we all want the same things. We want to live and work in a way that honours the truth of who we are. We want to feel seen, really seen. John Mellencamp sang, 'Life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone' but it does not have to be this way. The practice of self-fidelity lifts us out of a half-dead existence to rediscover the thrill of living - through our work. This practice supports us to wake up and reconnect to our true nature and to our abundant inner natural resources. Self-Fidelity is a simple, yet powerful practice of remembrance and reconnection. We can all empower ourselves to reimagine our working lives. As we restore our faith in ourselves, we restore our faith in each other.

Book Description
An ancient mogul has bought the power to live forever, but the strong young body he plans to inhabit has other ideas. The battle for immortal life begins in Stanley Bing’s “stimulating, satirical and perhaps even visionary novel” (Wall Street Journal). Immortal life. A fantasy, an impossible dream—or is it? The moguls of Big Tech are pouring their mountain of wealth into finding a cure for death and they are determined to succeed. None of these titans is richer than Arthur Vogel. The inventor, tech tycoon, and all-round monster has amassed trillions of dollars and rules over a corporate empire stretching all the way to Mars. The newest—and most expensive—life extension technology has allowed him to live to 127 years, but time is running out. His last hope to escape the inevitable lies with Gene, a human specifically created for the purpose of housing Arthur’s consciousness. The plan is to discard his aged body and come to a second life in a young, strong host. But there’s a problem: Gene. He may be artificial, but he is a person—and he has other ideas. As Arthur sets off to achieve his goal of world domination, Gene hatches a risky plan of his own. The forces against him are rich, determined, and used to getting what they pay for. The battle between creator and creation is heightened as the two minds wrestle for control of one body. Mixing brisk action, humor, and wicked social commentary, author Stanley Bing has crafted “an engaging and cautionary tale about the direction in which spaceship Earth is hurtling” (USA Today). Welcome to a brave new world that is too familiar for comfort—and watch the struggle for humanity play out to the bitter end.
