    Sometimes, you're stuck in a dilemma - should I do this, or not?

    And when we stand between the "Should" and the "Must", which should we take? “Should” is what we feel we ought to be doing, or what is expected of us. “Must” is the thing we dream of doing, our heart’s desire. And Elle Luna explains how to follow your passion and love while remaining practical. Whether you're a recent graduate, or a budding artist, or wanting to change jobs, or wanting to find more in life, you'll definitely relate.

    Digging deep into your emotions is one way to get in touch with your feelings and in turn, your inspiration.

    Sylvia Plath's shocking, realistic, and intensely emotional novel about a woman falling into the grip of insanity. In her acclaimed and enduring masterwork, Plath brilliantly draws the reader into a breakdown with such intensity that her insanity becomes palpably real, even rational—as accessible an experience as going to the movies. A deep penetration into the darkest and most harrowing corners of the human psyche, The Bell Jar is an extraordinary accomplishment and a haunting American classic.

    Do Humankind's Best Days Lie Ahead gathers some of the best thinkers in contemporary times today, to discuss that very question - is the future better?

    And Steven Pinker puts it nicely, really -- “It’s just a brute fact that we don't throw virgins into volcanoes any more. We don't execute people for shoplifting a cabbage. And we used to.”

    In this compilation, Sacks pulls together twenty-four of his most fascinating and beloved case studies. The patients in these pages are confronted with almost inconceivably strange neurological disorders; in Sacks’ telling, their stories are a profound testament to the adaptability of the human brain and the resilience of the human spirit.

    A rousing desire to want to create change is what might spur one on. Change for the better, change for the future. And that's what Nobel Prize winner Svetlana Alexievich did.

The Nobel Prize in Literature 2015 was awarded to Svetlana Alexievich “for her polyphonic writings, a monument to suffering and courage in our time.”

Grounded in solid psychological research Robert Kelsey helps us examine why we might have these tendencies and how to overcome them in order to feel more together, in control and on-top of everything.
