Book excerpt: Armah is a black British journalist, with a troubled soul and a questioning mind.

Can she find a place of refuge in her travels and her profession? Who would you be without your daily addictions? How did you get addicted to your drug of choice? Who would you be if there were no applause, disappointment, injustice, discrimination or rejection?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you worried that to be happy and true to yourself means leaving those you love and the life you have behind? One of the reasons becoming ourselves takes so long and is so hard is because we have a deep fear of speaking our own truths. We have been conditioned to feel badly about who we are and guilty about what we want from life. One Sunday afternoon something happened to Chental that changes her forever. In The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle refers to this shift as being in a State of Grace. Follow Chental as she takes you on her journey of self empowerment while including her husband and family. She learns to be a detective in her own life using her new abilities to detach, watch herself grow, and along the way explain whats happening to those she loves, so that they are not afraid, threatened or confused by her new actions.

Book excerpt: The New York Times Bestseller! After decades of silence, Robyn Crawford, close friend, collaborator, and confidante of Whitney Houston, shares her story. Whitney Houston is as big a superstar as the music business has ever known. She exploded on the scene in 1985 with her debut album and spent the next two decades dominating the charts and capturing the hearts of fans around the world. One person was there by her side through it all—her best friend, Robyn Crawford. Since Whitney’s death in 2012, Robyn has stayed out of the limelight and held the great joys, wild adventures, and hard truths of her life with Whitney close to her heart. Now, for the first time ever, Crawford opens up in her memoir, A Song for You. With warmth, candor, and an impressive recall of detail, Robyn describes the two meeting as teenagers in the 1980s, and how their lives and friendship evolved as Whitney recorded her first album and Robyn pursued her promising Division I basketball career. Together during countless sold-out world tours, behind the scenes as hit after hit was recorded, through Whitney’s marriage and the birth of her daughter, the two navigated often challenging families, great loves, and painful losses, always supporting each other with laughter and friendship. Deeply personal and heartfelt, A Song for You is the vital, honest, and previously untold story that provides an understanding of the complex life of Whitney Houston. Finally, the person who knew her best sets the record straight.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human beings have the unique ability to view the world in a detached way, but at the same time each of us is a particular person in a particular place, each with his own "personal" view of the world. Thomas Nagel's ambitious and lively book tackles this fundamental issue, arguing that our divided nature is the root of a whole range of philosophical problems, touching every aspect of human life. He deals with its manifestations in such fields of philosophy as the mind-body problem, personal identity, knowledge and skepticism, thought and reality, free will, ethics, the relation between moral and other values, the meaning of life, and death.

Book excerpt: "Can I be the MAN?" - A letter from US to You, is exactly what the title implies. It is a letter written on behalf of African American men in an attempt to put an end to the feud between male and female, so the duality of relationships can be restored. It addresses some hard conversations that need to be discussed within African American culture and relationships. It allows men to be "naked and unashamed" in revealing their failures, but also identifying some of the deep seeded desires African American men have for women. From a much-needed apology from men, to getting a better understanding of the inner workings of the heart of men, to acknowledging that there are no good men, only men striving to be good, this work will touch the heart and mind of every woman that is currently in or desires to be in a harmonious relationship with an African American man. By the end of the book, it will stimulate a much-needed dialog between African American men and women to bring about peace within their relationships and ultimately restore the fabric of their homes. With the duality of African American relationships restored, their families will be restored, which in turn will repair their communities, and will allow the needed unity within African American culture to stand together in solidarity. “This work started out a conversation with a few of my elders over a game of spades. From there it became a poem and now has blossomed into a full body of work. I have come to learn that I can express myself much better through writing than I can verbally. It was originally my desire to write the words that I have been struggling to be able to communicate in my own relationships. Over the course of time, I have some to realize that there are many men just like me that feel the same way, yet don't know how to communicate their emotions and thoughts. This work is for the men that look into our communities and see the need for men, but have watched and been unable to ask women the simplest of questions, Can I be the MAN? This work will be controversial in many ways but will ultimately have the desired effect of healing within our culture.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about being alone in our heads. It gives a rare glimpse of what other people feel like: to read it is to reflect on our own experience of being. People hide behind their appearance in order to get by in the world. In this book men and women alike of all ages reach beneath their skin to reveal their inner self. Am I the same person day to day, year to year? Is there an essential core as the layers of life are peeled away? And to what extent do the different stages of life beg different kinds of answers to the question what it feels like to be me? Readers will see how similarly Julie aged 85 and Nina aged 14 address the questions and how the themes thread through all the contributions. Brilliant poems by Dannie Abse and Peter Phillips look back and forwards in their lives. An Israeli artist looks at himself in two photographs. Three commentators give their views: a professional counsellor, a distinguished scientist and Dr Jonathan Miller.
