The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*ck - A Counterintuitive Approach To Living A Good Life
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life - Mark Manson
#1 New York Times Bestseller
Over 5 million copies sold
In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.
For decades, we & rsquo;ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let & rsquo;s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Mason doesn & rsquo;t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is & mdash;a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let & rsquo;s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited & mdash;"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.
There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

In The Closet Of The Vatican: Power - Homosexuality - Hypocrisy
The New York Times bestselling account of corruption and hypocrisy at the heart of the Vatican.
In the Closet of the Vatican exposes the rot at the heart of the Vatican and the Roman Catholic Church today. This brilliant piece of investigative writing is based on four years & rsquo; authoritative research, including extensive interviews with those in power.
The celibacy of priests, the condemnation of the use of contraceptives, countless cases of sexual abuse, the resignation of Benedict XVI, misogyny among the clergy, the dramatic fall in Europe of the number of vocations to the priesthood, the plotting against Pope Francis & ndash; all these issues are clouded in mystery and secrecy.
In the Closet of the Vatican is a book that reveals these secrets and penetrates this enigma. It derives from a system founded on a clerical culture of secrecy which starts in junior seminaries and continues right up to the Vatican itself. It is based on the double lives of priests and on extreme homophobia. The resulting schizophrenia in the Church is hard to fathom. But the more a prelate is homophobic, the more likely it is that he is himself gay.
"Behind rigidity there is always something hidden, in many cases a double life." These are the words of Pope Francis himself and with them, the Pope has unlocked the Closet.
No one can claim to really understand the Catholic Church today until they have read this book. It reveals a truth that is extraordinary and disturbing.

founder and board chairman Phil Knight & ldquo;offers a rare and revealing look at the notoriously media shy man behind the swoosh & rdquo; (Booklist, starred review), illuminating his company & rsquo;s early days as an intrepid start-up and its evolution into one of the world & rsquo;s most iconic, game changing, and profitable brands.Bill Gates named Shoe Dog one of his five favorite books of 2016 and called it & ldquo;an amazing tale, a refreshingly honest reminder of what the path to business success really looks like. It & rsquo;s a messy, perilous, and chaotic journey, riddled with mistakes, endless struggles, and sacrifice. Phil Knight opens up in ways few are willing to Fresh out of business school, Phil Knight borrowed fifty dollars from his father and launched a company with one simple mission: high quality, low cost running shoes from Japan. Selling the shoes from the trunk of his car in 1963, Knight grossed eight thousand dollars that first year. Today, annual sales top $30 billion. In this age of start ups, Knight & rsquo;s is the gold standard, and its swoosh is one of the few icons instantly recognized in every corner of the world.But Knight, the man behind the swoosh, has always been a mystery. In Shoe Dog, he tells his story at last. At twenty four, Knight decides that rather than work for a big corporation, he will create something all his own, new, dynamic, different. He details the many risks he encountered, the crushing setbacks, the ruthless competitors and hostile bankers as well as his many thrilling triumphs.

"The Prince" was written by Niccolo' Machiavelli in the 1500s. It has continued to be a best seller in many languages.
The Prince is a classic book that explores the attainment, maintenance, and utilization of political power in the western world. Machiavelli wrote The Prince to demonstrate his skill in the art of the state, presenting advice on how a prince might acquire and hold power. Machiavelli defended the notion of rule by force rather than by law.
Accordingly, "The Prince" seems to rationalize a number of actions done solely to perpetuate power. It is an examination of power-its attainment, development, and successful use.

Prep 50 Past Questions (Waec, Ssce , Neco, Gce)
The Benefits: What Your Child Will Gain By Using PREP50
Everyone (parents, teachers and school managers) know that the scientifically proven way human beings learn and assimilate information is bit by bit, topic by topic and chapter by chapter; that why all textbooks are so written. Yet as it concerns preparation for WAEC and JAMB examinations, I have noticed that virtually everyone commit three grievous errors that negated this principle. Errors that made a brilliant student end up a driver as against his wishes of becoming a medical doctor.
The errors have to do with WHEN and HOW to start preparing and WHAT TOOLS to use. PREP50 have corrected such errors.
When to Start Preparing
A cursory glance through either WAEC or JAMB syllabus on any subject will reveal that it covers SS1-3 topics. Yet most teachers have the tendency to test SS1 and SS2 students with softball tests & ndash; questions not up to the WAEC or JAMB standard because they don & rsquo;t know they are already preparing them for the exams as it is generally believed that preparation for JAMB and WAEC starts from SS3. We even refer to SS3 as the exam class. The parents of the driver also believed that he will only start preparing from SS3, he did and failed.
This is totally wrong because this misconception affords no other opportunity to test the students mastery of the topics taught in lower classes vis a vis the standard.
PREP50 will afford your child the opportunity of testing themselves against WAEC and JAMB standard from the very first topic in SS1 just like the Chief Medical Director did.
