![]() ![]() ![]() There is absolutely no fluff or anything written that is unnecessary or superfluous. Jordan Peterson writes in a clear and concise manner. These rules are simply traits and characteristics of being a BOSS. If you apply these rules to your everyday life, you will AUTOMATICALLY rise up the dominant hierarchy and be worshiped by males and selected by males. So forget about just focusing on Darwinism, survival of the fittest, and climbing the dominance hierarchy. This is simply a very practical book on how to orient yourself in this world in the best way possible. It does not complicate you too much with crazy theoretical details. If you are a practical person and just want a set of guidelines to live by, this is your book. This equates to something like a Nash Equilibrium strategy in which you play by the optimal strategy taking into account other people’s actions. It is brilliant in that it is a general guideline to hack life. Jordan Peterson’s best-seller, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos is an easy-to-digest book for everyone from all walks of life. ![]() Jordan Peterson – 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos ![]()

![]() ![]() They reminded me of the two tramps in Waiting for Godot – trapped in a world not of their making, increasingly aware that someone out there is pulling the strings. Both actors put in mesmerising performances providing a deeply unsettling substrata beneath the torrent of surface wit. There was a fascinating contrast between him and Aspel’s more philosophical G. His verbal sparring with the gloomier G was a delight. Males brought out R’s wide-eyed innocence and charmingly genial manner in convincing style. ![]() Happily, both Will Males as Rosencrantz and Dan Aspel playing Guildenstern brought pace and deeply felt character to their parts. The play stands or falls on its eponymous characters dominating the stage for most of the 140-minute running time. Happily the bonding of Cambridge’s estimable Corkscrew Theatre and the local AmDram company Bawds pulled off the awesome challenge in fine style. That is a very tough call for a community theatre ensemble. It is a long play packed with rapid-fire exchanges, daring puns and existential questions. ![]() ![]() ![]() But then Avery meets Tane, a tattooed boy with his own magic who swears that he can help her avoid her fate. ![]() ![]() With her mother's charms imprisoning her, it seems like an impossible task. So when she dreams of her own murder, Avery's determination to become a fully-fledged witch becomes all the more urgent - nobody can kill the Prince Island witch, so this is the only way she can prevent her own death. And Avery's dream meanings are never wrong. The only bit of magic still accessible to Avery is the power to interpret dreams. All she wants is to get back to her grandmother and to continue her witch's apprenticeship. Avery's prison in her mother's house is a luxurious one - there are dresses and trinkets and ponies most girls would die for. But Avery's mother, who has rejected magic, came and stole her away. The witch whose charms on which the whole island relies. The witch who controls the winds and helps the whalers on their way. Loved it.Īvery wants just one thing: to take her place as the witch of Prince Island. Summary: Fabulous, earthy, vivid, dark story of love and loss and witchcraft. ![]() ![]() ![]() My face is NOT the book.Įveryone should read this book. Then I labeled it ‘Kindle’ because Mum asked what it was. ![]() But I can’t draw good faces so I drew a picture of the Kindle talking. Mum said I could stay on the iPad if I wanted to draw a picture of the writer reading the book. It was an ‘enhanced edition’ which means that the writer reads the book out loud to you while you read it! This writer is a good reader and he didn’t sound at all like the dalek voice that normally comes out of the Kindle. There was something very good about this book. I noticed that it had brilliant pictures in it – even on the Kindle! – and Mum said I could go on the iPad if I wanted to draw a front cover for the book. ![]() I was bored, so Mum let me borrow her Kindle to read a book that was making her laugh, called, ‘Fortunately, the Milk…’ by Neil Gaiman with illustrations by Chris Riddell. That is, indeed, what I was planning on doing. ‘BUT,’ she said, ‘Don’t think you’re going to be lazing around watching TV and playing on the computer all day.’ My mum doesn’t always believe me when I say I’m sick, but my sister was sick yesterday so Mum said I could stay off school. ![]() A review by my 9 y-o son, described by the utterly lovely Neil Gaiman as the 'best review ever': ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Steeped in war and cultural upheaval and wielding a fresh new language, Vuong writes about the most profound subjects – love and loss, conflict, grief, memory and desire – and attends to them all with lines that feel newly-minted, graceful in their cadences, passionate and hungry in their tender, close attention: ‘…the chief of police/facedown in a pool of Coca-Cola./A palm-sized photo of his father soaking/beside his left ear.’ This is an unusual, important book: both gentle and visceral, vulnerable and assured, and its blend of humanity and power make it one of the best first collections of poetry to come out of America in years. ‘Reading Vuong is like watching a fish move: he manages the varied currents of English with muscled intuition.’ New YorkerĪn extraordinary debut from a young Vietnamese American, Night Sky with Exit Wounds is a book of poetry unlike any other. ![]() ![]() Then Adrien tries to shove a wrench in Viola’s plans. ![]() While there, secreats finally start to unfold. Her next mission is to find Jude and get him out safely. Viola is in custody of the instiution where Jude is being held. Viola’s final book begins where A Promise of Torment ended. This is the final installment in the A Violent Agenda Series. While the end kind of leaves me wanting, I also feel it's a fitting end for these characters and their lifestyle! I will definitely be checking out the upcoming offshoot series as soon as it's completed. There were fights left and right, people getting tortured, backstabbing/betrayals, family secrets coming out and we of course can't forget about the orgies :P This has been a wild and crazy journey and I really enjoyed it. This particular book ramped up all the crazy and all the drama. Unfortunately one of her men has to learn that the hard way when they get in her way. ![]() Viola is not your average woman or heroine, she's in my interpretation a sociopath and the only thing that keeps her going is death and mayhem. In a relationship with four men yet she can't say she loves them nor do I think she ever will. For me the best part of the series has been the heroine. ![]() While the serial killer genre is becoming more widely used in romance, this series still managed to be unique, riveting and over the top.

I cracked it open in the exam room at OB-GYN's office after a friend drove me to the appointment. The Twitterverse led me to Schaefer's book at the time I needed it most. I've consciously turned my focus to lifting up and supporting other women in my personal and professional cohorts as counterbalance to all of this chaos. And most recently, health setbacks have prompted more questions about womanhood and expectations to have children than I expected to consider at this age.

So how do you choose your clients? First of all, you must be comfortable working with them, for your relationship will be an intimate one. ![]() A first-class agency can afford to be selective because the demand for excellence is always higher than the supply. A basic limiting factor on growth should be your ability to train new staff to handle an account – a process that takes about two years. This means being very picky and gradual when adding new clients. But in the long run, it should aim to cultivate a select number of large key accounts. In its infancy, an advertising agency must hunt for whatever business it can get. ![]() |
