How Anthony Robbins Awakened The Giant Within Me
I love to read books by others who have faced adversity and devised their own way of dealing with it; to learn how they found the courage to get through it; about the people who inspired them in their crisis times, and the advice they might give me that could suit my situation, too. For that reason, I owe my confident and positive state to Anthony Robbins, the American author, coach and speaker who is known primarily for his seminars, and self-help books, including Unlimited Power and Awaken the Giant Within.

Adolescent Odyssey
I don’t remember the first book I ever read, but the first one I recall having read to me was a favourite of my mother. Coincidentally, it’s a favourite of mine, though I think we’ll skip the philosophical discussion about indoctrination for another time. The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien, is a wonderful book, but not the one I want to talk about today.

Serpents of the Silverwood
In the heart of a world where starlight and twilight danced in a symphony of enchantment, there lay a forest like no other. The Silverwood, they called it, its trees adorned with leaves of silver that shimmered like moonbeams. Each step within its depths was a journey into a realm untouched by the mundane, a realm where reality merged with dreams.

The Managerial Revolution
Have you ever bought a book sight unseen in terms of knowing what it’s about before you buy it? I have that’s what happened when I bought, The Managerial Revolution: What is Happening in the World, by James Burnham in 2013. This book sat on my shelf for the next year. Not because I wasn’t interested, rather it was marinating for the right time for me to read it. But boy, would this book change my entire outlook on the world once I did read it.

Books you should read before you die! Comment your favorite!
There's an undeniable charm about books. They are like old friends waiting to be visited, always welcoming and full of surprises. I have a preference for e-books, primarily for their convenience, but there are some tales, some words, and some moments that deserve a tangible presence in my life. That's why I've chosen to buy physical copies of a few select works.

THE ROAD by Cormac McCarthy
The Man wakes in the dark in the post-apocalyptic landscape, his son known only as the Boy, sleeps beside him, the father’s hand on his little chest feeling it rise and fall “with each precious breath.” We do not know what befell the earth and we never will. All we know is that the“Barren, silent, godless” world is dying and they need to move south or they will not survive the coming winter.

Austen's Unmarried Heroine. Top Story - August 2023.
It is a staple, if not a stereotype, of not just Austen novels, but novels by and for women, that the heroine must end up married (or at least in a happy relationship) by the end of the story. Of course, the world was different 200 years ago, and it was expected that women would get married (still is for the most part I would say but I think generally people are more chill about it now and you won't be a disappointment or disgrace!). Also fans of the Little Women (2019) adaptation will know that publishers wouldn't want to publish a book back then where a heroine didn't end up married at the end.
