Die With Zero : Getting All You Can from Your Money and Your Life

Die With Zero : Getting All You Can from Your Money and Your Life

A common-sense guide to living rich . . . instead of dying rich Imagine if by the time you died, you did everything you were told to. You worked hard, saved your money, and looked forward to financial freedom when you retired.   The only thing you wasted along the way was . . . your life.  Die with Zero presents a startling new and provocative philosophy as well as practical guide on how to get the most out of your money—and out of your life. It’s intended for those who place lifelong memorable experiences far ahead of simply making and accumulating money for one’s so-called “golden years.”   In short, Bill Perkins wants to rescue you from over-saving and under-living. Regardless of your age, Die with Zero will teach you Perkins’s plan for optimizing your life, stage by stage, so you’re fully engaged and enjoying what you’ve worked and saved for.   You’ll discover how to maximize your lifetime memorable moments with “time-bucketing,” how to convert your earnings into priceless memories by following your “net worth curve,” and how to navigate decisions about whether to invest in, or delay, a meaningful adventure with your “fulfillment curve” and “personal interest rate.”   Using his own life experiences as well as the inspiring stories and cautionary tales of others—and drawing on eye-opening insights about time, money, and happiness from psychological science and behavioral finance—Perkins makes a timely, convincing, and contrarian case for living large

The Company of the Wolf : Book 2

The Company of the Wolf : Book 2

Full of David Wragg’s unique blend of humour, heart, and high stakes, The Company of the Wolf is the epic next instalment in the Tales of the Plains trilogy. Seeking a better life, Ree and Javani have travelled west into the mountains, and left their pasts – and their troubles – behind. But new places bring new problems, and when they stumble across a lone traveller under bandit attack, they make the mistake of lending a hand. Forced to take refuge in the traveller's village, they quickly find allies among the lush, wooded hills. But then the true nature of the bandits is revealed. With winter approaching and a vengeful company of mercenaries circling like wolves, Ree and Javani must uncover the secrets of this peaceful valley … or risk the ruin of it all. "Gritty, sharp, and yet criminally funny!" Sunyi Dean, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Book Eaters "Wragg's brand of fantasy deserves its own name: grassroots fantasy. Small in scale, large in heart, with underdog heroes you can't help but root for." Amber A. Logan, author of The Secret Garden of Yanagi Inn "A tale full of heart: heart warming, wrenching and stopping in equal measure. I love Wragg's wild, western-inspired world and its rabble of humorously and sensitively crafted characters, the kind that keep you company long after reading." Cari Thomas, Sunday Times bestselling author of Threadneedle "A story about growing up, growing old, dreams, betrayal, greed and consequences, all wrapped up in a neat package of action and tied off with a perky bow of banter. I enjoyed hating the villain almost as much as I enjoyed rooting for Ree and Javani." Peter Newman, Gemmell Award-winning author of The Vagrant and The Deathles

Materia tuturor lucrurilor

Materia tuturor lucrurilor

12 experimente care au schimbat lumea „Fiorul descoperirii științifice capătă o semnificație reală.” – The Times Uluitoarea poveste a fizicii secolului XX, relatată prin intermediul a 12 experimente revoluționare! Cum a reușit o foiță de aur să schimbe cu totul imaginea noastră despre atomi? Ce rol a jucat balonul cu aer cald în descoperirea radiației cosmice? Cum au contribuit la inventarea World Wide Web-ului experimentele premergătoare punerii în funcțiune a acceleratorului Large Hadron Collider? În Materia tuturor lucrurilor, dr. Suzie Sheehy ne face cunoștință cu oamenii care, printr-o combinație de geniu, persistență și noroc, au pus în operă experimentele revoluționare din secolul XX care au schimbat cursul istoriei. De la descoperirea întâmplătoare a razelor X într-un mic laborator din Germania la oamenii de știință care au încercat să arate că Einstein s-a înșelat (demonstrând fără voia lor că avusese dreptate), până la cursa pentru scindarea atomului, Sheehy ne arată felul în care cei mai străluciți fizicieni experimentaliști au influențat nenumărate aspecte ale vieții din zilele noastre. Radioul, televiziunea, telefoanele inteligente, instalațiile RMN, echipamentele radar și cuptoarele cu microunde, printre multe altele – toate acestea au devenit posibile ca urmare a hotărârii de a înțelege și a controla lumea microscopică. Cartea de față prilejuiește o relatare fascinantă a experimentelor surprinzătoare și, uneori, accidentale, care ne-au transformat lumea, precum și o celebrare a creativității și curiozității celor aflați în spatele acestor experimente. „Materia tuturor lucrurilor… aduce în prim-plan starurile fizicii experimentale, oamenii care au făcut observații directe, au creat ipoteze și au construit instalații care emit fascicule de materie și energie pentru a testa concordanța dintre teorie și realitate.” – The Times „O relatare cuprinzătoare, dar detaliată și antrenantă, a 100 de ani de progres științific. Sheehy argumentează că, animați de curiozitate, persistență și spirit de colaborare, vom putea depăși provocări care în prezent par insurmontabile.” – New Scientist „Această carte fascinantă și captivantă surprinde entuziasmul radical al științei experimentaliste, așa cum este ea practicată. Se citește ca un thriller, presărat cu unele dintre cele mai profunde idei pe care le-au avut vreodată oamenii.” – Brian Eno, muzician, deținător al medaliei Stephen Hawking pentru comunicare științific

What Does it Feel Like?

What Does it Feel Like?

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER!'Only Sophie Kinsella can make you laugh like this while she's got you crying . . . This is one of the gutsiest moves I've seen from a writer in a long time. I could not put it down.' TAYLOR JENKINS REID'I laughed. And I cried. And then I thought about the meaning of life. A jewel of a book.' JOJO MOYES'Emotional and affecting, this gave me a new appreciation for life's small joys.' Red'The bravest book you'll read all year.' JODI PICOULT------------------From Number One bestselling author Sophie Kinsella, an unforgettable story – by turns heartbreaking and life-affirming – of a renowned novelist facing a devastating diagnosis and learning to live and love anew. ‘What Does It Feel Like? is fiction, but it is my most autobiographical work to date. Eve’s story is my story.’ — SOPHIE KINSELLAEve is a successful novelist who wakes up one day in a hospital bed with no memory of how she got there. Her husband, never far from her side, explains that she has had an operation to remove the large, malignant tumour growing in her brain. As Eve learns to walk, talk, and write again — and as she wrestles with her diagnosis, and how and when to explain it to her beloved children — she begins to recall what’s most important to her: long walks with her husband’s hand clasped firmly around her own, family game nights and always buying that dress when she sees it. Recounted in brief anecdotes, each one is an attempt to answer the type of impossible questions recognizable to anyone navigating the labyrinth of grief. This extraordinary novella is a celebration of life, shot through with warmth and humour – it will both break your heart and put it back together again. ‘Why did I write such a personal book? I have always processed my life through writing. Hiding behind my fictional characters, I have always turned my own life into a narrative. It is my version of therapy, maybe. Writing is my happy place, and writing this book, although tough going at times, was immensely satisfying and therapeutic for me.’ – SOPHIE KINSELLA------------------'I was gripped and moved and I loved every word.' LISA JEWELL'A beautiful love story and a glowing beacon of hope.' JENNY COLGAN'Heartbreaking yet hopeful, this life-affirming read encourages us all to take life by the horns.' Prima'Of all the books I have read about living with cancer this is by far the best. Beautifully written, profound and deeply moving.'

Benny the Blue Whale : One Author's Descent into the Madness of AI

Benny the Blue Whale : One Author's Descent into the Madness of AI

AI is changing the world at frightening speed. A bestselling author decides to find out more…‘Something profound and utterly brilliant is going on… hilarious.’ THE TIMESIs ChatGPT the end of creative industries as we know them? An ethical quagmire from which there is no return? A threat to all our jobs, as we keep hearing on the news? Bestselling children’s author Andy Stanton has made a career out of writing differently – from the unconventional ‘hero’ of his bestselling Mr Gum series to his penchant for absurdist plots, his children’s books are anything but formulaic. When a friend introduces him to ChatGPT, the new large language chatbot, Andy is as sceptical as he is curious. Can this jumble of algorithms really mimic the spontaneity of human thought? Could it one day replace human authors like him for good? And are we soon to be ruled over by despotic robot overlords?He decides there’s only one thing for it – he must test this bot’s capabilities. Eventually, he settles on a prompt that will push the algorithm to its creative limits: ‘tell me a story about a blue whale with a tiny penis.’ Chaos ensues. What follows is a surprising and illuminating battle between Andy and ChatGPT that maybe, just maybe, might help us all understand AI a little bit better. Join Andy and his beleaguered AI lackey on a rollicking metafictional journey through the art of storytelling. Presenting his prompts and the AI-generated narrative alongside extensive commentary, Stanton provides a startling paean to the art of a good story and boundless human creativity. Hopeful and hilarious, Benny the Blue Whale provides a joyfully anarchic meditation on AI, literature and why we write. ***A WATERSTONES AND NEW SCIENTIST BEST BOOK OF 2023‘There’s no book like it. Scholarly, childish, fascinating and hilarious – one of our funniest writers dissects what it takes to build a story and what that tells us about being human. It’ll really make you think, if you can stop laughing.’ Chris Addison, co-creator of BREEDERS‘Entertaining and alarmingly relevant, provocative and philosophically satisfying, it’s ultimately a profoundly human text.’ OBSERVER‘A magnificent experiment by a perfect fool – deep and shallow and stupid and clever – the perfect use of AI (Andy Intelligence).’ Robin Ince, author of THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING INTERESTED‘Benny the Blue Whale is many things. It’s a fascinating discourse on the nature of language and storytelling. It’s a philosophical treatise on the possibilities of artificial intelligence. It’s a receptacle for obscenely hilarious jokes... A brilliant and beautiful cyborg: part human brain, part computational muscle. It’s a post-post-modern work of genius.’ Anthony McGowan, Carnegie Medal-winning author of LAR

Re-descoperim Clujul Vol. 2. Re-discovering Cluj Vol. 2

Re-descoperim Clujul II. Istorie, istorii, istorisiri un ghid de Vladimir-Alexandru Bogosavlievici / Re-discovering Cluj II. History, past events, stories a guide by Vladimir-Alexandru Bogosavlievici Editie bilingva romana-engleza. Asociatia "Vechiul Cluj" s-a constituit in vara anului 2013, cu scopul redescoperirii Clujului si a multiculturalitatii acestuia, printr-o incursiune in istoria municipiului si a judetului. Ceea ce a dus la infatisarea Clujului de azi este prea putin cunoscut de catre publicul larg, situatie care se poate schimba prin mediatizarea istoriei marcante a acestui oras. Incepand cu anul 2016, Asociatia a implementat proiectul „Re-descoperim Clujul”, in ale carui doua editii de pana acum s-au materializat cele doua ghiduri turistice ale colectiei. Incepand din anul 2014, Asociatia a mai desfasurat si proiectul „Povesti despre Cluj”, ajuns in prezent la a IV-a editie. - Sebastian-Iacob Moga "Vechiul Cluj" Association was founded in the summer of 2013, aiming at rediscovering Cluj and its multicultural character, by dwelving into the history of both city and county. What contributed to everything that represents Cluj of today is only partly known by the local public. The association wishes to change this fact, by diseminating elements of the remarkable history of the city. Beginning with 2016, the Association implemented the project “Re-discovering Cluj”, resulting in the first two published touristic guides of the series. Since 2014, the Association also became involved in organizing the “Stories of Cluj” project, which currently at its fourth edition. - Sebastian-Iacob Moga "Re-descoperim Clujul" a fost, in ordine cronologica, cel de al doilea proiect de anvergura al Asociatiei „Vechiul Cluj”. Asa cum sugereaza si titlul, publicul tinta al acestui proiect il constituie atat cei pentru care Clujul se lasa descoperit pentru prima data, cat si cei care i-au uitat comorile. Informatia despre diverse locuri, cladiri si personalitati ale Clujului se poate pierde datorita cresterii populatiei orasului prin imigratie, inceputa in timpul expansiunii industriale din perioada dictaturii comuniste si continuata in prezent. Ne-ar placea sa stim ca tururile ghidate si cele doua ghiduri publicate isi vor fi atins scopul, iar traditia istorica a Clujului va fi transmisa mai departe. - Victor Salca In chronological order, "Re-discovering Cluj” was the second large-scale project developed by "Vechiul Cluj" Association. As its title suggests, the targeted public of this project includes people that discover Cluj for the first time, as well as people that have forgotten its treasures. The information about various places, buildings, and personalities of Cluj might be forgotten due to the high growth rate of the city population, which began during its politically driven industrial development in the times of the communist dictatorship, and continues today. Nevertheless, we would be extremely pleased to know that the guided tours and the two printed guide books have achieved their goal, and that the historical tradition of Cluj will be known and further carried on. - Victor Salca In cel de al doilea ghid din seria dedicata redescoperirii Clujului, profesorul Vladimir-Alexandru Bogosavlievici ne indeamna pasii catre zone ale orasului care, in Evul Mediu, erau situate in afara burgului medieval. Nu sunt trecute cu vederea nici alte obiective mai apropiate sau mai indepartate de zidurile orasului de altadata, cum ar fi Piata Lucian Blaga, Gradina Botanica, Cetatuia cu fortificatia austriaca sau Parcul Etnografic creat de marele etnograf Romulus Vuia. Autorul ne conduce intr-o calatorie in care marile epoci ale trecutului se imbina adesea cu prezentul, sub bagheta sa, aproape magica, de posesor al unui neegalat tezaur de cunostinte. - Tudor Salagean In this second guide of the series dedicated to the rediscovery of Cluj, professor Vladimir-Alexandru Bogosavlievici directs our steps towards city neighbourhoods that, during Middle Ages, were outside of the medieval burg. The tours also included other objectives that are closer to or more distant from the old city walls, such as: Lucian Blaga Square, the Botanical Garden, the Citadel with the Austrian fortress, or the Ethnographical Park, founded by the great ethnographer Romulus Vuia. The author takes us on a journey in which, great periods of the past often merge with the present, as if under the magic wand of a master with an unmatched treasure of knowledge. - Tudor Salagea
