If magical realism, surrealism, sci-fi, or art history be your cup of tea, could Timeless Form: The Tale of Michelangelo’s Model be a promising choice for a book to read?

Posted: 07-Jan-2025




Robots are turning more powerful by the day, portending a time in the not-too-distant future when they’ll surpass humans and become (nearly) masters of the Earth. And suppose that happens! Then, the robots will possess all the knowledge in the world, the blazing speed of future-age computers, and mastery over space and time. They’ll obviously have an edge over inferior humans. However, humans’ trump card is the gift of creativity that they alone possess. The robots lack it and cannot progress—they’re doomed to a life where nothing changes!

In a race for dominance over Earth, the robots need to copy and replicate humanity’s gift of creativity among their kind to surpass humans forever!

A perfect human exists at that time. He’s timeless and ethereal. What if they capture him and try to steal his creativity, but he refuses to cooperate? They cannot force him because of the risk of accidentally killing him and then having no perfect human source left to copy creativity from.

Can humans escape or will the robots win? Read this brilliant, captivating tale to find out!

Happiness isn’t by happenstance, it’s a deliberate choice! If you’re determined, you can create your paradise, regardless of your circumstances, and be happy!!

Posted: 23-Nov-2024




Happiness isn’t by happenstance, it’s a deliberate choice! If you’re determined, you can create your paradise, regardless of your circumstances, and be happy!

That’s right! Abraham Lincoln’s quote "Folks are usually about as happy as they make their minds up to be," echoes this. But some will say their circumstances are so bad they simply can’t be happy, no matter how hard they try. Rose V Waters, the author of this book, differs. Her book is a “Happiness Manual” that she guarantees will teach you happiness regardless of your circumstances!

Posted: 29-Oct-2024



“Short stories are tiny windows into other worlds and other minds and dreams. They are journeys you can make to the far side of the universe and still be back in time for dinner” said Neil Gaiman. That aptly describes Tales of the Forthcoming: An Anthology of Science-fiction and Supernatural Short Stories by Steven Blows. You’ll be looking through the windows opening on the worlds of the supernatural/ghosts and science fiction of the future. And rest assured, you’ll also be back in time for dinner!

Do you know the real meaning of 'charisma?' It isn't (of a person) enthusiastic and/or charming: it’s the mark of an astute leader. America was shaped by charismatic leaders since it’s early beginnings.

Posted: 22-Oct-2024



America was founded by Puritan Christians in the seventeenth century. Since then, it was and continues to be a God-fearing nation. However, you may be surprised to know that its leaders have all had an inexplicable, crowd-pulling power called ‘charisma.’ Now, ‘charisma’ isn’t what we commonly think it is; rather, it has a long history dating back to the ancient Greeks, and profound and complex psychological meanings. It defies reason. Otherwise, how did the Germans once choose Hitler, of all, as their leader? Or, did Indians choose M K Gandhi as theirs?

Come, let’s discover the real meaning of the term from Spellbound, a book written an American history professor that traces the origins, rise, and destructive influence of charisma over nearly four centuries of history (1634 – now).

Death is inevitable. But you can take the pain and suffering out of it by becoming aware of relevant issues and by proper planning. Here’s how.

Posted: 02-Oct-2024


If you’re 55-plus, regardless of your present health condition, this is a MUST READ book for you because 55 is regarded as the threshold of ‘old age’ in the USA. Old age and death can be a period of a lot of pain and suffering but not if you plan for it with care. You can take a lot of the pain/suffering out by gaining awareness of the phase of old age and death and using that knowledge to make an informed plan that meets every eventuality with the best available choice known to medicine.

Let this book by a senior medical doctor show you how to make YOUR plan with confidence and satisfaction.

Recommended if you are caught in the maze created by ‘living in the moment’ and can’t find a way out!

Posted: 02-Oct-2024



In our schooldays, we tagged along with our classmates because we craved their recognition and acceptance. This continued when we grew up. We drifted into ‘living in the moment,’ eager to please our peers and family. We didn’t have a plan for the future. Our horizon was today, and never mind if it conflicted with what our minds said was right, we kept doing it anyway... It was a “heart over head” situation that didn’t pay. Living without integrity, meaning, and purpose ultimately took its toll, and we were forced to rethink life when it began to hurt. We were going nowhere but rather round and round in small circles. We weren’t ready for the huge waves that would strike and capsize our life’s boat tomorrow!

Jolted by the realization of the dangers ahead, for the first time, we let our head take control of our lives (of course, the heart stayed, but the head took control!).

That was when the author found the way out by opting for a life of dignity and meaning by doing honest work!

If you’re similarly floundering in life, you may want to take a note out of the author’s life by reading this book.  You too could live a life of fulfillment, dignity, and purpose by introspecting on your situation and applying corrective changes that put you on the path to personal victory TODAY!!
