Thinking Fast and Slow
by Daniel Kahneman
Two systems drive the way we think and make choices, Daniel Kahneman explains: System One is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System Two is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. Examining how both systems function within the mind, Kahneman exposes the extraordinary capabilities as well as the biases of fast thinking and the pervasive influence of intuitive impressions on our thoughts and our choices.

In 2005, a most impressive private library of Irish history was uncovered in Mayo at the instigation of Mayo County Council. This collection was amassed during the life of one man, Jackie Clarke (1927–2000).
In 2005, in accordance with her late husband’s wishes, Mrs Anne Clarke gave the Jackie Clarke Library and Archives in perpetuity to Mayo County Council on condition that the collection remains permanently in Ballina, County Mayo. Its breadth and importance, once only known to its creator, is now being made available to all.
The material spans 400 years. The earliest item dates from 1617. It comprises many rare and important books on the history of Ireland, manuscripts, photographs, legal papers, pamphlets, hand-bills, newspapers (including a third edition of what is described as ‘the first newspaper’ the Oxford Gazette dated December 1665), news-sheets, circulars, reports, political autograph books, letters, periodicals, cartoons, maps, minute books, theses, articles and proclamations (including 1916 and the rarer 1917 proclamation). The sheer range of this collection is breath taking. The library also contains many volumes and manuscripts in the Irish language.
In the coming years as we mark the centenary of the founding of the state, 2016–2021, this repository of Irish material will become a site of central importance as documents in this collection will shed new light on these past events.

The Tipping Point: A Wainwright Mystery is a suspense novel set in 1978. Garth Wainwright is one of the ten business partners of CapVest, a successful national real estate investment firm. Wainwright is invited to join one of those partners, Tom Burke, and his wife for a skiing holiday in Aspen. His invitation came from Lacey Kinkaid, Burke’s lawyer and Wainwrights new love interest. The foursome is having a fun February vacation together—until Burke’s mysterious death pushes Wainwright’s buttons to learn the motive for his death.
If Tom Burke had not died on the slopes of Aspen Mountain, Wainwright would never have risked losing everything. However, his suspicious death launched an avalanche—a tipping point—involving nine business partners and a hefty helping of greed, complicity, and murder.
Wainwright returns to company headquarters in Bellevue Washington to dig for clues for a motive for murder. His questions met with suspicion and skepticism from his partners. “Just leave it alone, Garth” or “Let the cops handle this,” Wainwright questions his qualifications to continue, but his bulldog mindset drives him to keep probing for an answer. As he searches for a reason for Burke to die, he uncovers a conspiracy of fraud far bigger than anyone could have imagined. This discovery could very well destroy the company, the reputations of its partners as well as their massive personal fortunes.
And then— another partner is killed. As dead bodies start piling up, Wainwright’s questioning of why they were murdered turns to who is the murderer? Are the murders connected to the fraud? Is the killer inside the company? Which of his remaining partners can he trust? The company’s survival is at stake. Other lives are at stake, especially Wainwright’s. The SEC is watching. The financial community is watching. The Tipping Point is moving toward a fall.
The Tipping Point is a story with a complex and compelling plot. Thrills of a psychological and action variety will keep the reader guessing until the end.

Jesus too, all gentle as He was, had His thunderbolts; but He reserved them for other objects than poor, benighted, prejudiced Samaritans. His zeal was directed against great sins, and powerful, privileged, presumptuous sinners; not against little sins, or poor, obscure, vulgar sinners. He burst into indignation at the sight of His Father's house turned into a den of thieves by those who ought to have known, and did know better; He only felt compassion for those who, like the woman by the well, knew not what they worshipped, and groped after God in semi-heathen darkness. His spirit was kindled within Him at the spectacle of ostentatious orthodoxy and piety allied to the grossest worldliness; He did not, like the Pharisee, blaze up in sanctimonious wrath against irreligious publicans, who might do no worship at all, or who, like the heretical Samaritans, did not worship in the right place. Would that zeal like that of Jesus, aiming its bolts at the proud oak and sparing the humble shrub, were more common! But such zeal is dangerous, and therefore it will always be rare.
James and John...thought themselves actuated by zeal for the glory of their Lord, and so they were in part. But the flame of their zeal was not pure: it was mixed up with the bitter smoke of carnal passions, anger, pride, self-will. Then, again, their spirit was not such as became the apostles of the gospel, the heralds of a new era of grace. They were chosen to preach a message of mercy to every creature, even to the chief of sinners; to tell of a love that suffered not itself to be overcome of evil, but sought to overcome evil with good; to found a kingdom composed of citizens from every nation, wherein should be neither Jew nor Samaritan, but Christ all and in all. What a work to be achieved by men filled with the fire-breathing spirit of the "sons of thunder"! Obviously a great change must be wrought within them to fit them for the high vocation wherewith they have been called. Yet again, the spirit of James and John was, of course, not that of their Master. He "came not to destroy men's lives, but to save them."

Download or read book in PDF The Ambassadors written by Paul Richter and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Veteran diplomatic correspondent Paul Richter goes behind the battles and the headlines to show how American ambassadors are the unconventional warriors in the Muslim world—running local government, directing drone strikes, nation-building, and risking their lives on the front lines. The State Department’s heroes are the front-line diplomats who have been unheralded, but crucial in the line of national defense for two decades of wars in the Middle East. In The Ambassadors, Paul Richter shares the astonishing, true-life stories of four expeditionary diplomats who “do the hardest things in the hardest places.” We’ll see Ryan Crocker’s effort to organize a new Afghan government after the fall of the Taliban, even threatening the life of a Pashtun warlord, a US ally, to ensure that a column of tanks could join US forces in the biggest battle of the Afghan war. Robert Ford, the sole American official for the province of Najaf in central Iraq, tries to restart the economy and deal with growing militia violence—and is taken hostage by a Shia militia. In Syria, he is chased by government thugs for defying the country’s ruler. J. Christopher Stevens is smuggled into Libya as U.S. Envoy to the rebels during its bloody civil war, then returns as ambassador only to be killed during a terror attach in Benghazi. War-zone veteran Anne Patterson is sent to Pakistan, considered the world’s most dangerous country, to broker deals that prevent a government collapse and to help guide the secret war on jihadists. Richter’s account of the role of America’s diplomats in the wars in the Middle East and the Muslim world supplies a crucial and—until now—missing part of how these wars are being fought. An important addition to appreciating the roles of these diplomats, and an in-depth look into the complexity and length of these wars and nation-building, The Ambassadors is a critical piece of modern day history.
Download or read book in PDF The Ambassadors written by Robert Cooper and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2021-02-18 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History does not run in straight lines. Instead of inevitable progress, what we get is more often false starts, blind alleys, random events, good intentions that go wrong. Robert Cooper's incisive and elegant book is therefore not a continuous diplomatic history. Richelieu and Mazarin inhabited a 16th-century world we can hardly imagine today, but it is from their time that we can begin to see the outline of today's Europe. The Ambassadors includes a brilliant analysis of the people who built the Western side of the Cold War. Henry Kissinger is a pivotal figure in the post-war world, and his story is in some ways typical: he failed in his most important aims and succeeded in ways he never expected. Robert Cooper's pieces together history and considers the illuminating fragments it leaves behind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glory is a weight. This is why you can’t carry it and walk normally. The expression of a man that carries glory is power. Men that manifested heavily on earth are men that had access to the weighty matters of the Spirit. It is the glory of God that connects a man to the weightiness of God. Until you become weighty in the matters of God, you cannot become weighty in the matters of men. The level of weight in the glory that one carries is what determines is place amongst men. In Greek, glory is Tozah – it means dignity and honour. You cannot carry glory without being dignified and honourable. Glory is God putting himself in you so that you can represent him in the affairs of men. It is like God putting his garment on a man because it is not right for him to appear in the earth to carry his operations by himself. So, when he puts his glory in a man, the man then acts on his behalf. And when God puts his weight on a man, the earth cannot resist him. Doors open on their own accord.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1969, Henry Catto was selling insurance in San Antonio, Texas. Just twenty years later, he presented his credentials as ambassador to the Court of St. James's to Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, at Buckingham Palace. In this engaging memoir, he retraces his journey from Texas outsider to Washington insider, providing a fascinating look at the glamour, day-to-day work, and even occasional danger that come with being a high-level representative of the United States government. Catto's posts brought him into contact with the world's most powerful leaders and left him with a wealth of stories, which he recounts amusingly in these pages. He was the official host for Queen Elizabeth's visit to America during the Bicentennial year—and one of José Napoleon Duarte's protectors after his failed 1972 coup attempt in El Salvador. Catto accompanied Richard Nixon on his historic trip to Russia, sparred with Bill Moyers and the producers of "60 Minutes" as Caspar Weinberger's spokesman at the Pentagon, and hosted George Bush's planning meeting with Margaret Thatcher at the beginning of the Persian Gulf War. In telling these and other stories, he offers behind-the-scenes glimpses into how political power really works in Washington, London, and other world capitals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From what we see around us, we can conclude our beloved country is going in the wrong direction. We have felt safe while Christians around the world have been suffering incredible religious persecution. It is catching up to us. There is a growing cooperative relation between the government and several private groups to repress any Christian expression. Openly practicing our faith is under attack. God has appointed His believers to be His ambassadors to this world and has called us to stand up and defend the faith (1 Peter 3:15; 2 Corinthians 5:20). This book examines the forces that resist our openly witnessing for the faith. We will examine the world, the flesh, and the Devil and look at their interaction with man. Hopefully, we will open a supportive dialogue between ambassadors. Dr. Edward Jones is a seventy-five-year-old man living in a senior complex in central Florida. He led an active life prior to 1995 when he became disabled. Writing replaced preaching. In addition to his books, he writes for the Crossroads Bible Institute and is chairmen of his church’s prison ministry. He brings to his writing a unique balance between the spiritual and the secular. His books reflect the interplay of the two. Other books include Come up Hither and The Joy of Fellowship. Christ’s Ambassadors is his third book. All his books reflect his deep commitment to Biblical inerrancy.

Summary Book Review Ambassadors from the Islands of Immortals :
Download or read book in PDF Ambassadors from the Islands of Immortals written by Zhenping Wang and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using recent archaeological findings and little-known archival material, Wang Zhenping introduces readers to the world of ancient Japan as it was evolving toward a centralized state. Competing Japanese tribal leaders engaged in ambassador diplomacy and actively sought Chinese support and recognition to strengthen their positions at home and to exert military influence on southern Korea. Wang brings diplomatic history to life in his descriptions of the diplomats and their personalities and literary talents as well as their ambitions and frustrations. He explains in detail the rigorous criteria of the Chinese and Japanese courts in the selection of diplomats and how the two prepared for missions abroad. He journeys with a party of Japanese diplomats from their tearful farewell party to hardship on the high seas to their arrival amidst the splendors of Yangzhou and Changan and the Sui-Tang court. The depiction of these colorful events is combined with a sophisticated analysis of premodern diplomacy using the key concept of mutual self-interest and a discussion of two major modes of diplomatic communication: court reception and the exchange of state letters. accepting, or rejecting court ceremonial arrangements.


This professionally recorded CD contains music for mixed and women’s choir, a capella, some with piano accompaniment, some with soloists or strings.
Some selected explanation and background information on the compositions:
- Three works based on the Christian religion: "Lux Aeterna" (a capella version and one with string accompaniment), where the mystery of eternal life is evoked but also questioned. "O Magnum Mysterium" about the mystery of new life. And an "Agnus Dei", seen as a prayer for peace, a difficult theme for humanity.
- "4 Haiku's" (about the 4 seasons) written by Herman Van Rompuy, and set for a capella women's choir or soloists. Short pieces... obviously!
- "Er was eens water" after a poem by the Flemish poet Peter Verhelst, written in response to the shocking photo (2015) of a little boy (Alan Kurdi) who drowned during a crossing of the Mediterranean Sea.
- The song "Mother Earth" is based on a poem by New Zealand writer Nadine Anne Hura. She wrote this poem on the day the world went into lockdown in March 2020. At the same time, she links this to the climate crisis. This poem was intensively shared on Facebook in 2020. For women’s choir and two soloists.
- A song on a text by Edgar Allan Poe: "Spirits of the dead". A text that has a personal meaning to the conductor, Joris Derder.
- “Hope is a thing with feathers”: written during lockdown in the summer of 2020 and can be performed in corona proof fashion.....
- The Voice: an anti-war poem written in the Ypres trenches in the First World War by Alfred Mills. Mixed choir with soprano solo.
- Rilke's poetry is always very grateful to set to music. The poem ‘Ich lebe mein Leben in wachsenden Ringen’ (mixed choir a capella) and the three poems on three animals in the Parisian zoo (women’s choir accompanied by horn) were used for compositions.
On March 3 2023, Wynold Verweij - a reviewer of contemporary classical music for the web-based klassiek-centraal- wrote the following about the CD:
Ghent composer Stefaan Vanheertum has just released his new CD Suoni Celesti. The CD contains choral works he wrote between 2014 and 2021. The collection is the result of a concert that took place September 2022.
Suoni Celesti (heavenly sounds) consists of religious and liturgical works and pieces based on poems by Rainer Maria Rilke, Peter Verhelst, Nadine Anne Hura, Edgar Allen Poe and Emily Dickinson. Also included are four short pieces on haikus by Herman Van Rompuy. Performers are the Ghent Singers, Ateneres, Koriolis and Arabesk.
The Roman Catholic religious experience is addressed in three works: Lux Aeterna, where the mystery of eternal life is exuberantly highlighted on the one hand but also nuanced via some dissonances. O Magnum Mysterium is performed in a relatively light setting, with the use of hoketus (hiccups) for the upper voices and a convincingly rousing alleluia. The third is an Agnus Dei, a prayer for peace composed as an antiphon.
4 Haikus, written by Belgian former politician Herman Van Rompuy, deal with the four seasons. These works are simply and accessibly scored for a cappella female choir and soloists.
Er was eens water (Once upon a time, there was water) is inspired by a poem by Flemish poet Peter Verhelst, written in response to the drowning of a young refugee in the Mediterranean in 2015. The result is a sombre musical tale in which the ending words “As loud as we could, we tried to keep thinking there once was, there once was” are respectfully laid down. Pieter Coene, who reads the poem, demonstrates the poignancy of the Dutch language as a recitation art.
Mother Earth, based on a poem by New Zealand’s Nadine Anne Hura, and Spirits of the dead, a song to a text by Edgar Allan Poe, depict finitude (corona and climate crisis) and death.
The CD’s pièce de résistance is The Voice, a World War I poem written by Alfred Mills in the trenches of Ypres. The poem tells the story of a frontline soldier whose thoughts are with his loved one (soprano solo) and who gives him courage not to give up. The choir comments, in keeping with musical tradition, with the mood changing in the middle of the piece when it turns out that “the voice” is not his beloved but actually represents death. At that point, the choir shifts into a kind of trance through the sustained violence. The descending chromatic line of the soprano solo when singing “I’ll always be there to hold your hand” is both compelling and fatalistic. The Voice is richly upholstered, its repetitive melody lines ingeniously interwoven.
The CD closes with 3 Rilke Songs for female choir/ensemble and horn, written in response to Rilke’s visit to the Jardin des Plantes in Paris in 1902. It is a light-hearted and funny description of successively the panther, the flamingos and the parrots who, despite their captivity, try to make the best of it.
This professionally recorded CD contains instrumental music for string orchestra with harpsicord soloist.
Some selected explanation and background information on the compositions:
- Harpsichord concerto (2020) A new harpsichord concerto in three parts. This work was selected for the semi-finals of the “Kaleidoscope call for works 2020”, called for by the University of Los Angeles”.
- Divertimento for strings (2022) : is actually a relaxed distraction, a pleasant walk, in short a divertimento….
- Per Ellie: divertimento de speranza e amore (2020) This work was written on the occasion of the (early) birth in May 2020 of our first granddaughter Ellie in the middle of the first covid-19 lockdown. The music starts off hesitantly and vulnerable, but eventually an ode to life bursts open and the composition ends full of expectation.
- Adagietto for strings (2020) A short piece for strings.
- Lux Aeterna (choir SATB and strings, 2020) is a work in which the mystery of the eternal life (light) is evoked but also questioned.
- 09h02’07” or the “Elegy for the victims of 9/11” (string orchestra 2002) Ode to the victims of the 9/11 attacks in New York in 2001. Concert recording of November 2013. The title of the work refers to a precise time indication: a sunny late summer day downtown New York . At 9am , 02 minutes and 7 seconds, a man answers a call from his daughter. She calls on her cell phone. It is September 11, 2001 and at that time his daughter is already at work in one of the two WTC towers . She tells how the tower neighboring the one she works in was hit by a plane . She assures her father that she is okay and they say goodbye. One minute after the call ends the second plane slams into the WTC tower. She is at a level far above the point of impact and does not stand a chance. The phone call was the last contact between father and daughter. This story was told by the father on the American television, three days after the attacks. Like many others in the aftermath of the attack, he shows a picture of her and is desperately looking for her.
At the time of the attacks, I was in the U.S. myself ( New York State not in New York city). The period immediately after the attacks was very strange. Ordinary life was paralyzed for days and everyone was in chock, watching television for hours every day. It became clear later that, for the first time in history, the mobile phone played a crucial role in many ways. Not only because there were many mobile contacts between the terrorists themselves, but also between victims and family members. Especially the many farewell conversations between relatives and loved ones, are moving. The ultimate example is the fact that the fourth hijacked plane, on its way to the White House, crashed after passengers were informed via mobile phones about what was happening and took their destiny into their own hands.
September 11, 2001 marked the new era of communication possibilities. This piece of music evokes serenity but also anger, sadness and triumph, disbelief, despair and finally acceptance . The music refers to the American minimalist and repetitive music . This elegy is dedicated to all the victims of the attacks of 9/11.
Both CD's can be ordered for €12 each (exclusive shipment costs, if applicable) via the contact tab on this website or via my email address (firstname.lastname@example.org) or through facebook. Once you send us your order, we will ship the requested cd to your address and provide payment details via email (payment via secured bankaccount transfer).


LENT DAY 40 - Saturday, April 7
Mark 15:42-47 Burial
"Late in the afternoon....Joseph of Arimathea, a respected member of the Jewish Council, came ... He went to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body.... Having already purchased a linen shroud, Joseph took him down, wrapped him in the shroud, placed him in a tomb that had been cut into the rock, and rolled a large stone across the opening." (The Message)
The account of Joseph of Arimathea taking down the now dead body of Christ is found in all four of the gospels. Joseph is a very rich, highly respected member of the Sanhedrin, and, like Nicodemus, a secret follower of Christ. But, also like Nicodemus, perhaps yet unwilling to openly reveal his allegiance. Joseph shows courage in approaching Pilate for the body.
Who was Joseph of Arimathea? What thoughts were in his mind? Was he chasticing himself for not speaking up? What was it like to take the body down from the cross? I envision a slow, loving wrapping of the shroud. Does Joseph have any grain of expectation in his heart that this isn't the end, but the beginning?
We must bury the human Jesus to allow the divine Christ to rise again. But have we buried Christ too deeply? Have we rolled the stone too tightly, and failed to realize that God has rolled it away and is expectantly waiting for us to notice?
I couldn't help but go to Google again today to ask my first question, Who was Joseph of Arimathea? What a wealth of Biblical and historical fact, perhaps fiction, perhaps speculation of the life of this man. Probable fact: He was Jesus' great uncle, the brother of Mary's father; he was a very rich merchant in metals, especially tin; he traveled extensively throughout the Mediterranean and as far as England; he was a member of the Jewish Sanhedrin, but a secretly a follower of Christ. And then the speculation, some derived from historical sources, but....I would have to do a great more research. It did make for very interesting reading: Joseph established Christianity in the British Isles between 37 and 65 AD, long before the Roman Catholic Church was established. Joseph was the guardian of the Holy Grail, the cup used in the Last Supper and reportedly used to collect the blood of Jesus during the crucifixion. As I read through the last portions, parts of Indiana Jones and the DaVinci Code were running through my head!

On May 20th, 2006, Peter Naur received the 2005 ACM Turing Award. This award is often regarded as the ``Nobel Prize'' in Computer Science. Naur was rewarded for his `pioneering work on defining the Algol 60 programming language. (...) [He] was editor in 1960 of the hugely influential "Report on the Algorithmic Language Algol 60." He is recognised for the report's elegance, uniformity and coherence, and credited as an important contributor to the language's power and simplicity.'0
Forty-five years after the publication of the ALGOL 60 report, it is still regarded as one of the most influential papers in computer science. Peter Naur was not the only Turing Award winner related to the ALGOL effort: A.J. Perlis, J. McCarthy, E.W. Dijkstra, J. Backus, R.W. Floyd, C.A.R. Hoare, and N. Wirth were all awarded before him.1 It may be not for their work in the ALGOL effort per sé, but they were all part of the effort, either as a member of the committee defining ALGOL 58 or ALGOL 60, as an implementor of ALGOL 60, as a contributor to the theory of formal languages stimulated by ALGOL 60, or as a member of the committee working on a new ALGOL in the 1960s.
The awarding of these computer scientists indicates that the ALGOL effort was an important part of the development of computer science itself. This importance is often stated without elaborating exactly why it was so important. ALGOL 60 was not the first programming language and it certainly was not the most used one. So, the question arises: What was the importance of the ALGOL effort for computer science?
To answer this question, the history of the ALGOL effort is told. First, the start of the effort is discussed and the central question in that chapter is: Why was there a need for an effort like the ALGOL effort? This question will be answered by treating the computational context in which this effort was initiated; the algebraic programming languages from the 1950s are compared including the first language created by the ALGOL effort, ALGOL 58. Was this International Algebraic Language really better than these other algebraic languages?
Then, the development from ALGOL 58 leading to the publication of the Report on the algorithmic language ALGOL 60 2 in May 1960 is treated. In this period, the notation used to describe and define programming languages changed fundamentally. The resulting ALGOL 60 report would become the standard for defining programming languages. Both the interesting new features in the programming language ALGOL 60 and the reasons why this new notation was developed during the ALGOL effort, are discussed.
ALGOL 60 is often related to the development of formal language theory in computer science. This development was a result of the common effort to create translators for ALGOL 60. How did this development take shape, and, more importantly, what was the importance of this development for computer science?
After the publication of the ALGOL effort, a period of maintenance of the ALGOL 60 language was started. During this period, the responsibility for ALGOL was transferred to an international body: the famous Working Group 2.1 of IFIP. Later, this working group developed a new ALGOL resulting in dismay and the end of the ALGOL effort. This end of the ALGOL effort did not set a good example for computer science, and the question arises: what was the importance, if any, of the effort to create a new ALGOL?
Finally, the conclusion of this research on the ALGOL effort is drawn by answering the main question: What was the the importance of the ALGOL effort for computer science? Before the history of the ALGOL effort is told some remarks on the sources used, on my perspective, and on the term ``ALGOL effort'' are made.
This history on the ALGOL effort was written as a Master thesis in Computer Science and Engineering (Technische Informatica) at the Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands.
You can download this history on the ALGOL effort as a pdf file (1.1 megabytes) and read the whole story. I have put the whole bibliography of this research on the history of the ALGOL effort online, both as a html file and a bibtex file.


It seems more and more people are interested in finding out where they came from and so Ancestor.co.uk is allowing people to have a free look at the passenger lists of the ships which took Scottish emigrants to the Americas. The Mitchell Library in Glasgow also allows people to have a look at the Poor Law records which detail the poverty and suffering of those that came before us. But anyone with a romantic notion of their ancestral past should think carefully before investing time and energy researching their family history.
It might be my sick sense of humour but as well as being slightly disturbed at the image I couldn't help but laugh when I read the story of the Australian who researched the details of his ancestor's transportation to the colonies. He assumed his forefather had been on the prison ship for rebelling against the famine and the Crown by stealing corn to put food on the table so that his family may survive to see the next morning. Imagine his surprise when he discovered the documentation showing the reason for the one-way trip to Botany Bay was for his carnal knowledge of horses. And to think that Australians like to make fun of the Kiwis for sheep shagging.

Today’s blog will be for books to read before 2021 ends. These are books that are my favourites that have impacted my life and books that will impact your life for the better.
I’ve grouped the books into categories to make them easier to navigate. The groups are Self Help, Personal Growth books, Money & Productivity, Creativity, Spirituality and Others.
So I shall start with Self Help.
One of the books I love the most is “The Four Agreements” by Don Miguel Ruiz. It is an excellent book.
It is easy to read, and it’s not too long. There are four main agreements:
- Always be impeccable with your word.
- Don’t take anything personally.
- Don’t make assumptions.
- Always do your best.
Those four agreements, he goes deep into them and why they’re essential. And because there’s only four, they’re effortless to remember, and they’re life mantras. I remind myself of them all the time, and they’ve made my life a lot easier.
The second book I suggest for you to read is “A New Earth” by Eckhart Tolle. This one is a little difficult to read, but it is vital because it teaches you how to recognise and be aware of your ego and detach yourself from your ego’s wants.
The ego in you is the part that wants more and more and more, the part that will never be satisfied, the part that gives into fear and all of these things that are not helping you. This book teaches you how to recognise that ego and not be a victim to your ego.
The third book I want to recommend is “Atomic Habits” by James Clear. The book you want to read if you’re going to be consistent with your habits this year. It talks about how and why habits are formed and how you can use that information to make or break any routine that you want.
The next book I want to recommend is “Mindset: The New Psychology of Success” by Carol Dweck. This book is all about the growth mindset: what the growth mindset is, compared to what a fixed mindset is and why you want to have a growth mindset and help you in life.
So much of why certain people excel and grow over others is because they have a different mindset. This book goes deep into what makes up a growth mindset. The next book that will also be so helpful for your perspective is “The Success Principles” by Jack Canfield.
This book contains several lessons, values, and parables on why people are successful. It has so many success stories. It’s one of the first self-help books I read, and it’s such a good book to lay the proper foundation for your mindset and your habits moving forward.
The next book you should read is a classic called “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey. The book has been on the bestsellers list for decades, so it is a crowd favourite.
It is one of those books that everyone should read. The lessons are so innovative, and they’re so impactful; they’re still relevant to this day. Following that, another book you must read is “The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle.
I used to say “Eckhart Tolle”, I don’t know why. Someone corrected me and said it’s “Eckhart TOLL”. Anyway, this book is another classic, and it’s all about being mindful of the present moment, why it is so important, why the present moment is the only real thing you have.
The past and the future are just illusions in your mind. After reading this, understanding, this concept deeply will release so much stress and worry from your life. It will just help you be happier and more joyful in the present moment of your life.
Another book you should read is “The Slight Edge” by Jeff Olson. I’ve recommended this one so many times because it’s so good. This book is about the power of compounding effects, compounding your actions, compounding habits.
And the lesson is: If you do a small thing each day, a tiny little positive thing, the effects will compound over time so that you make significant changes. And it’s such a powerful lesson that is so key to success.
The last book in this category is “The Power of Vulnerability” by Brené Brown. Brené Brown has that Ted talks on vulnerability. She’s written many excellent books since then. And this book, The Power of Vulnerability, I had in audiobook form because I think it’s her giving lectures on vulnerability.
And vulnerability is something that people need to talk about more because once you realise how important it is to be vulnerable, you develop better relationships in your life. You become more confident in expressing yourself.
You also get better at taking risks at being brave, and those are things that you need to be successful and grow in life. All right, moving onto the category of Money & Productivity books. The first book I recommend is called “The Richest Man in Babylon”.
The Richest Man in Babylon is a book written in 1926 by George S. Clason. It provides financial advice through the lens of parables set in the ancient city of Babylon, which initially stood around 8000 years ago.
I just enjoyed it so much because I enjoy metaphors and stories. Rather than being a practical book, I feel like it’s a book that uses stories to engrain precious lessons in your mind.
The next book I recommend will help your money mindset, but this one is more modern. So this one’s called “You Are a Badass at Making Money” by Jen Sincero. This book is so, so helpful in helping you rewrite your limiting beliefs about money.
I felt like my mindset changed so much. It transformed my attitude about money after reading this book. I think it’s something that more people should read. We should all be more financially savvy, financially literate, and have a healthier money mindset.
The next book I recommend is “Getting Things Done” by David Allen. This book is for you if you need help in productivity if you have so many things you want to do, but you don’t know what to do first, organise your tasks, and have a system of getting things done.
This book helped me prioritise things. The author lays out a system that is so helpful: What emails to tackle first? What tasks to tackle first? It’s so beneficial for people who lack organisation, and even if you partially relatively organised, you’ll learn a lot from the process laid out in this book.
The next book is another favourite of mine: “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up” by Marie Kondo. It inspired my whole journey through minimalism and decluttering, learning to keep those things that spark joy and let go of what I don’t need anymore.
Let go, say goodbye and thank you. “Thank u, next” to anything that is holding me back. This book applies to material things, but it can also apply to non-physical stuff in your life. I put it under productivity because I feel that one can be more productive with clear space, have one life together, and have this KonMari mindset.
I am moving on to books on creativity now. The first book I would recommend is called “The War of Art” by Steven Pressfield. Steven Pressfield is such a great author for creatives. He talks about the war we have as creatives against resistance, procrastination, whatever that thing is that holds us back from doing our work, from creating, from taking action.
So that’s what “The War of Art” is about. It also has helped me developed a more robust mindset in my work, career, and creating. Another book on creativity that is more uplifting and inspirational is “Big Magic” by Elizabeth Gilbert.
Elizabeth Gilbert is one of my favourite writers. This is one of my favourite books, and it just makes you see creativity from such a magical point of view. This book is for everyone, not just people who do creativity for their job because all humans are creative.
She talks about creativity as a hobby, giving you joy, enhancing your life, and it’s just a fantastic book. The final book in the category of creativity is more of a practical process-type book. It’s “The Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron.
This book is worth reading if you are creative and you want to tap deeper into your creativity because there are journaling prompts, exercises, a weekly system – I think it’s a 12-week program that you go through.
And this is the book where morning pages originated. Julia Cameron introduced the idea of morning pages, to write three pages of longhand stream of consciousness journaling every morning to help open up that channel to creativity.
This book suggests to the user a great system. I did it, I think, two years ago. If you want more of a systematic approach to tapping into more creativity, read The Artist’s Way. Now let’s jump on to books on spirituality and beyond.
The first book you want to read is “The Untethered Soul” by Michael A. Singer. That is a book about your soul, your spirit, and it also helps you recognise who you are outside, the surface level you vs.
The deep core of yourself. It’s just one of those books on spirituality that I enjoyed. The next book I recommend is “The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success” by Deepak Chopra. I honestly recommend anything by Deepak Chopra, and my favourite way to read his books is by listening to his audiobooks, listening to him speaks because I am such a big fan of him.
I love his voice. He makes me feel so calm, so zen. He seems so wise, and he’s just a classic. The next book I want to recommend intertwines health with spirituality. It’s called “The Anatomy of the Spirit” by Carolyn Myss.
I honestly had two books in mind for this slot in the 20 books, so you’ll get an extra book, another similar book in the same realm. It’s called “You Can Heal Your Life” by Louise Hay.
Those are two books that I highly recommend if you are going through any health issues, especially chronic health issues that doctors and Western medicine can’t explain. The idea is: Many chronic issues, health issues, stem from emotional or spiritual pain and trauma.
And this is an area where I know not everyone agrees with or understands because there’s so much we still don’t understand about science and health and medicine, right? But I think it’s fascinating because these are stories of real people who have healed in spiritual ways or just different ways than you would typically hear.
The last group on this list, which makes the 20th book, is astrology. It’s called “The Inner Sky” by Steven Forrest, and this is one of my favourite books that I’ve read because I love astrology.
It was the intro book to help me dive deeper into what all of this stuff means, the stars, the planets, your birth chart. And that one is more of a personal interest book. But if you are interested in astrology, that is the book to start with because it’s just so fascinating.
There is still time to read these books before 2021 ends
All right, so those are 20 of my favourites/ most impactful books you should read before 2021 ends. If you want more books, I have a whole page on my website listing my favourite books, and I try to organise them into different categories.
And I also really love audiobooks. I didn’t get to talk about the audiobooks that I loved because I chose books that I thought would change your life and help you change your mindset, all that stuff.
I honestly enjoy listening to memoirs, such as Ali Wong’s audiobook: “Dear Girls”, Kevin Hart’s audiobook, Trevor Noah’s book, JVN – Jonathan Van Ness’s book, the guy from Queer Eye.
I love listening to something funny and a life story while I’m driving. So I’ll list those recs down below as well. I hope that this is a good list for you to start with, and I wish you all the best in the rest of 2021.
Here is a beautiful motivational video by Jim Rohn to inspire you
I hope these books help you expand your mind, change your life. I also hope you make it a daily habit to read consistently, whether it’s a chapter each day or a chapter each week, because consistency is what matters most.


St. Catherine of Siena
Who exactly was Catherine of Siena? The following extract has been taken from the book "Catherine of Siena - Woman of Faith" by Sister Jean David Finley.
"Catherine Benincasa, the 23rd child of a prosperous dyer, was born in Siena on March 25 1347. At the age of six, Catherine had a religious experience that changed the whole direction of her life. Until 1367, she lived as a contemplative in her own home. During that period, she also became a member of the Mantellate, a group of laywomen affiliated with the Dominican Order.
"Then, slowly at the Lord's command, Catherine left her solitude, reaching out to help the needy of Siena - the pensioners, the sick, and the poor. By 1370, her world had expanded to include people from all walks of life. She became known as a peacemaker, a healer and above all, a prophet.
"In the short span of ten years, with the help of secretaries, Catherine sent out over 400 letters, many of them to leaders of both Church and State. These letters and the spiritual treatise known as the Dialogue are her legacy to the Church.
"During the last five years of her life, Catherine came into close contact with both Popes, Gregory XI, whom she persuaded to return to Rome, and his successor, Urban VI. More than once, she served as the papal emissary to the city states in revolt. At the beginning of the Schism in 1378, Urban VI called her to Rome, but all Catherine's efforts to prevent the spread of the Schism were in vain. Worn out by her attempts to restore unity and peace, Catherine died in Rome on April 29 1380 and her body was laid in the church of the Minerva where it remains today."


The Library is a huge vast room in Dream Castle with books
as far as the eye can see. Paradise knows this room better
than any other pony in the castle
so I will let her explain what is
*Ivy steps back to allow you a better view*
Thank you, Ivy. Welcome, to the library. If you would, please keep your voice lowered so as not to disturb the other ponies that are reading and studying.
*You see various ponies in all the different nooks and crannies of the library most of them buried in reading*
I actually live in the Paradise Estate. However, I spend most of my time here studying old legends and stories.
*As she is talking she is moving towards a huge stack of books. She nuzzles something behind the stack and a gray male pony , almost hidden behind a huge pile of books, stretches and comes out.*
This is Archive, he is a researcher in all sorts of things. Sometimes I think he lives to study things.
*Paradise looks fondly over at the stallion. He glances around briefly and then returns his attention to the tome that he was reading*
With Archives help I have put together some things you might be interested in reading here in the library.
We have put together a backcard story list.
Then we have some books including a book of Fanfiction.
We also have a catalog of Accessories that came with the My Little Pony toys that were brought out on the other side of the Rainbow.
And a Book on all the different Booklets and pamphlets that came with the toys.
Feel free to explore the library and to stay as long as you like. When you want to return to the Dream Castle Tour just tap Ivy on the shoulder and she will show you out.

In the heart of the meadow, ‘neath the shade of a tree,
Lives a clever wee hedgehog, as bright as can be.
She can fashion a sonnet, she can play a fine tune,
She can dance by the light of the silvery moon.
She could outwit a fox, or a badger, or hare,
With a spark in her eye and a bold, brazen stare.
But what she would rather, as the night turns to day,
Is to savour sweet chocolate ice cream, in a soft, sunny ray.
In the court of the woodland, by the babbling brook,
Lives a hedgehog who’s authored a best-selling book.
She can speak seven languages, solve riddles so deep,
She can lull all the forest’s young offspring to sleep.
She could converse with the owls, share tales with the deer,
Or recite epic poems for all critters to hear.
But what she would rather, after pondering her task,
Is to bask in the sun, in a comfy sun mask.
On the edge of the forest, by the cool, rolling sea,
Lives a hedgehog who’s painted a masterpiece, ye see.
She can sculpt, she can sketch, she can capture the light,
She can make stars seem brighter in the darkest of night.
She could sculpt a great statue, create tapestries grand,
Or leave intricate patterns drawn deep in the sand.
But what she would rather, when her work is complete,
Is to roll in the waves, feel the sea at her feet.
In the midst of the thicket, under star’s gentle gleam,
Lives a hedgehog who weaves magic into her dream.
She can gaze at the heavens, chart the stars in their flight,
She can whisper to breezes, tell tales to the night.
She could wander the cosmos, a hedgehog space-seer,
Discover new planets, far-off and near.
But what she would rather, as the stars softly peep,
Is to curl in her burrow, and drift into sleep.
From the meadow to forest, from sea to night’s dome,
This hedgehog knows truly there’s no place like home.
She could do wondrous things, of that there’s no doubt,
But she knows what life’s about, with her priorities straight out.
She values her pleasures, simple and small,
For it’s joy in the living that’s the best thing of all.
So she’ll eat her ice cream, then she’ll bask in the sun,
Then she’ll roll in the sea, And will sleep ‘neath the stars,
She will do this and more, brought by life being free,
With the love in her heart, as content as can be.

The book of James was authored by the brother of Jesus. This is James who was leader of the Jerusalem council when he wrote the book. The nature of the book suggests it was addressed to the very early church, primarily Jewish Christians who knew James as an authoritative church leader. This would place the writing possibly as early as before a.d. 50, competing only with Galatians as probably the oldest book in the New Testament.
Dealing with the trials of being Christian, their role in discipline and our need for wisdom and thankfulness, James speaks of faith and deeds, worldliness and patience, and prayer for the afflicted. If you’re dealing with temptations, addictions and lifestyle issues, the book of James is a must read.


|Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ
Everyone knows that high IQ is no guarantee of success, happiness, or virtue, but until EmotionalIntelligence, we could only guess why. Daniel Goleman's brilliant report from the frontiers of psychology and neuroscience offers startling new insight into our "two minds"—the rational and the emotional—and how they together shape our destiny. Through vivid examples, Goleman delineates the five crucial skills of emotional intelligence, and shows how they determine our success in relationships, work, and even our physical well-being. What emerges is an entirely new way to talk about being smart. The best news is that "emotional literacy" is not fixed early in life. Every parent, every teacher, every business leader, and everyone interested in a more civil society, has a stake in this compelling vision of human possibility.
Why I LOVED This BookDaniel Goleman does an amazing job describing what Emotional Intelligence is, how and why it may be more important than IQ, and how you can develop it. I was so impressed with this book that I often discuss it with my friends, family, and important connections. It has become a required reading for my clients and “Making ALL the Right Connections” students.
