Carpe Diem Regained: The Vanishing Art of Seizing the Day Hardcover
Author: Roman Krznaric
‘Seize the day’, one of the oldest pieces of life advice in Western history, with its promise of radical aliveness has been inspiring people for centuries. But what does it really mean? And how can it be used today to reinvent the art of living? The book unveils five different ways of seizing the day; it explores not just the contributions of thinkers through history, but also insights from the lives of seize-the-day pioneers.
Quiet Until the Thaw
Two Native American cousins, Rick Overlooking Horse and You Choose Watson, though bound by blood and by land, find themselves at odds as they
grapple with the implications of their shared heritage. When escalating anger toward the injustices, historical and current, inflicted upon the Lakota people by the federal government leads to tribal divisions and infighting, the cousins go in separate directions: Rick chooses the path of peace; You Choose, violence.
Goodbye, Vitamin
Author: Rachel Khong
Freshly disengaged from her fiancé and feeling that life has not turned out quite the way she planned, thirty-year-old Ruth quits her job, leaves town and arrives at her parents’ home to find that situation more complicated than she’d realized. Her
father, a prominent history professor, is losing his memory and is only erratically lucid. Ruth’s mother, meanwhile, is lucidly erratic. But as Ruth’s father’s condition intensifies, the comedy in her situation
takes hold, gently transforming her all her grief.
