Winner of the Big Other Book Award and finalist for the Believer Book Award. If The Cloud Corporation is, as John Ashbery called it, “the poetry of the future, here, today,” then Timothy Donnelly’s third collection, The Problem of the Many, is the poetry of the future yet further pressed to the end of history. In astonishingly textured poems powerful and adroit in their negotiation of a seeming totality of human experience, Donnelly confronts—from a contemporary vantage—the clutter (and devastation) that civilization has left us with, enlisting agents as far flung as Prometheus, Flaming Hot Cheetos, Jonah, NyQuil, and Alexander the Great.

Welcome to your new journey. This book has many stories of triumph and success. It follows my life story, along with many others, to show how we all changed our lives through craziness, diversity, loss, grief, break-ups, heartache, devastation, health issues, eating disorders, abuse, addictions, and the list goes on. Living in the now is what works for me. If you are not happy with your life as it is now, perhaps modifying just one viewpoint or outlook can help you discover and live your lifes purpose.

What is the one thing everyone wants? Happiness. But where do we find it? French Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard has been working with scientists and Buddhist scholars to explore the effects of meditation on the brain and its correlation with happiness. What he discovered: Happiness is not something you seek, but rather it is a skill you develop. On Happiness, the former cellular biologist merges the newest scientific research with traditional Buddhist teachings and contemporary Western philosophy to show you the keys to realizing the experience of happiness. Join Ricard on this audio adaptation of his book of the same title to learn more about: - How to cultivate sukha-a balanced state of well-being that arises when we release ourselves from mental blindness and afflictive emotions - Practices for working with your mind to develop attention, focus, and clarity-a foundation for inner peace - How to work with the ego and time to enter the state of flow

Financial success is possible if you’re willing to learn the Rules of the Rich—learn how to kick fear in the butt and achieve your goal now. You don’t have to wait to get rich until you’re too old to enjoy spending your money. It takes only three to five years using the wealth-creating strategies in this book to create a small fortune and early retirement if that’s what you want. Certainly, some industries require heavy capital investments upfront, like oil and gas exploration or industrial manufacturing—but almost any other business can be started with $1,000 or less. Great entrepreneurs understand that you can pre-sell almost any product and collect the money upfront. Then, once you have the cash you can build the product and deliver it to your customers. This is how massive companies can be started with little or no cash—just look at the histories of Fortune 500 companies like Apple, Microsoft, or Whole Foods. Thanks to our new networked economy, technology, and opportunities, anyone from anywhere in the world can start a business for less than $1,000—and turn it into a successful wealth-producing company in just a few short years. What’s holding them back from starting one now? It’s fear—the kind of fear that makes you keep your mouth closed when you wish you could speak up and ask for what you really want. It’s the fear that stops you from moving forward in life—and achieving the wealth and success you deserve. And there’s only one thing that will conquer your fear: commitment to your own success. Discover why the old rules of financial security and retirement are broken—and learn the new rules that will save you from the financial ruin so many Americans face. In this life-changing book, entrepreneur Tom Corson-Knowles shares his secrets to lasting business and financial success passed down by hundreds of entrepreneurs and millionaire mentors.
