Grotesque.For the Last Time is a short story about a person's constant struggle to overcome the universe's attempts to block every path to salvation and liberation. In this work of fiction, a man discovers that all of his pain, all of his humiliation, and all of his suffering have been orchestrated by an omnipotent being. Upon his death, he returns as another iteration of himself, but this time, he vows to take revenge on the being.

Unfortunately, first contact has questions.When an extraterrestrial named Oolon arrives on Earth, it doesn't come to invade, conquer, or demand to see humanity's leader.It comes to evaluate us.And for reasons no one quite understands, the person chosen to help explain the human species is Samir Nader-a linguist, translator, teacher, and occasional author who knows enough about language to understand one uncomfortable truth: humans rarely mean exactly what they say.Oolon begins asking questions.Why do humans praise freedom while constantly restricting it Why do we seek truth but prefer information that confirms what we already believe Why can religion unite people and divide them Why do we build intelligent machines before deciding what intelligence actually is Why do we love, lie, judge, forgive, fight, believe-and contradict ourselves so spectacularly What begins as an unusual conversation soon becomes a planetary crisis.Governments interfere. Politicians demand answers. Social media explodes. Corporations see opportunity. The military sees danger.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - How do we build a good life out of ordinary days Horizontal Living is a practical and reflective exploration of the things that quietly shape a human life: how we begin and end our days, how we work and rest, how we care for other people, how we deal with boredom and distraction, and how we live through change, loss, ageing, and uncertainty. This is not a book about becoming a different person overnight. It is about paying attention to the life already happening around you. Through reflections, observations, and simple practices, Horizontal Living explores the habits and relationships that give a life its shape. It looks at friendship, partnership, parenting, work, attention, rest, grief, joy, ageing, and mortality, while asking a simple question: what does it mean to live well, day after day The book is interested in the things that are easy to overlook because they are ordinary. A morning. A shared meal. A conversation. A walk. Work that needs doing. Time spent with someone you love. The small routines that become a life before we notice that they have done so. Horizontal Living is for anyone who wants to live with more attention and intention, whether you are going through a major change, questioning familiar ideas, or simply wondering how to make better use of the life you have. It offers no perfect formula and no promise of constant happiness. Instead, it invites you to look more closely at the ordinary world and consider what might be worth keeping, changing, or letting go. This is the second book in the Horizontal World Series, but it can be read entirely on its own. A life is not built all at once. It is built in days.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'What Rules are Running the Crowd ' examines what happens when someone who never cared about your dream suddenly achieves it without intention, and why giving an outside force total control over your internal equilibrium is a voluntary surrender of mental sovereignty. It explores why building an immediate exit in conversations strips away performative politeness to test genuine alignment, how a choice can ever be called free when the opposite option is socially unacceptable, and why the people who have known you the longest are often the least equipped to admire who you are today. Moving into metaethics and collective psychology, it addresses where moral authority comes from when biological facts are separated from normative claims, why average citizens conform under systemic pressure rather than remaining heroic outsiders, and how structural decay tricked us into mistaking bare-minimum human stability for an elite privilege.…

You make plans. You promise yourself that this time will be different. Then overthinking takes over. Procrastination creeps in. Doubt gets louder. Motivation disappears. And somehow, you find yourself right back where you started.Get Out of Your Own Way is a practical guide for breaking the cycle of self-sabotage and learning how to follow through-even when you don't feel motivated.Elisha Mercer explores why people repeatedly delay, avoid, abandon, or complicate the very things they say they want.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 365 Biblical Sermons is a full-year preaching resource created for pastors, teachers, ministry leaders, small-group facilitators, and believers who desire a steady supply of Scripture-centered messages. Each sermon begins with a distinct biblical passage and develops one clear spiritual emphasis for the life of faith.Every sermon follows a practical four-part framework: Explanation clarifies the truth of the passage; Illustration connects that truth with recognizable life; Argument answers common objections and competing ideas; and Application turns conviction into faithful action. Each message concludes with a concise Takeaway rather than a prayer or invitation, making the material adaptable for worship services, teaching sessions, leadership gatherings, and personal preparation.Written in a warm pastoral voice, the book moves across the Psalms, wisdom literature, prophecy, the Gospels, Acts, and the New Testament letters.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - On a film set, everything is designed to look real. Someone has found a way to make murder look like part of the show.Tess Hollister has spent fourteen years doing the things Hollywood stars are paid to appear to do. She has jumped motorcycles through explosions, fallen from buildings, crashed cars and broken enough bones to know the difference between danger and stupidity.Tess isn't fearless. She knows better than that.Good stunt performers are scared of exactly the right things.So when a thirty-two-foot fall on the set of the multimillion-dollar action film Black Meridian goes catastrophically wrong, Tess knows almost immediately that what happened wasn't an accident. Someone has replaced a safety-critical piece of her rig with a near-perfect copy designed to fail under load.Someone wanted her to fall.The studio wants the problem contained. The evidence points towards people Tess has trusted with her life. And Detective Cal Ward quickly discovers that almost everyone surrounding Hollywood star Romy Hayes has something they would rather keep off camera.Then the investigation begins uncovering surveillance, hidden money, manipulated schedules and evidence that somebody has been studying Tess long before the stunt ever went wrong.What looked like an attempt to kill one woman begins to reveal something far more elaborate.Because on a film set, appearances can be manufactured. Evidence can be staged. Faces can be copied. A convincing story can be created before anyone realises they are inside it.And somewhere behind the cameras is somebody who understands exactly how Tess Hollister will react when another person is in danger.They know she will run towards it.They are counting on it.Fast, cinematic, funny and packed with twists, No Second Take introduces Tess Hollister - a stuntwoman who knows how to survive almost anything, provided she can work out which danger is real before somebody calls action.Because in Tess's world, you can rehearse the stunt. You can reset the cameras. You can even fake the impossible.But when somebody is trying to kill you, there is no second take.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - When was the last decision that was truly yours Artificial intelligence has become the most persuasive technology ever created-not because it is always right, but because it is almost always helpful.Every day, millions of people ask AI what to write, what to believe, what to build, what to buy, what to say, and even how to make life's hardest decisions. The answers are fluent, confident, and remarkably convincing.But what if the greatest danger isn't that AI makes mistakes What if it quietly stops you from noticing your own Drawing from doctoral research, behavioral science, psychology, philosophy, organizational leadership, and hundreds of real-world cases spanning technology, government, healthcare, finance, law, education, and history, Careless Machines introduces a new framework for understanding one of the defining risks of the AI era: Situational Disempowerment-the gradual transfer of human judgment from people to machines.Rather than arguing that AI is making people 'stupid,' this book presents a far more nuanced-and more unsettling-argument: The greatest threat isn't artificial intelligence.It's the gradual surrender of your own judgment.Inside you'll discover: - The Three Thefts quietly eroding human decision-making- The Four Amplifiers that determine who is most vulnerable to AI influence- Why intelligent people are often the easiest to persuade- The hidden mechanism of Belief Offloading-and how it changes the way we think- Twenty-four practical rules for preserving judgment while embracing AI- Practical experiments to strengthen critical thinking without rejecting technological progressThis is not a book about fearing AI.It is a book about using AI without allowing it to replace the one thing that makes your decisions truly yours.Whether you're a founder, executive, software developer, policymaker, educator, student, consultant, or simply someone navigating an increasingly AI-powered world, Careless Machines provides a practical framework for thinking more clearly, deciding more wisely, and remaining intellectually sovereign in an age where machines have become astonishingly good at agreeing with us.Because the future will not belong to those who reject artificial intelligence.Nor to those who unquestioningly embrace it.It will belong to those who know where to draw the line.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - In the quiet town of Willow Creek, something is deeply wrong. After a series of disturbing events involving local children - one culminating in a fatal act of violence - the community is left shaken and searching for answers. At the centre of it all is Mia, an eight-year-old girl found alive where others were not so lucky. As suspicion, fear, and grief take hold, the towns-people turn inward, uncertain of what Mia represents: hope, danger, or a haunting reminder of what they failed to see. But beneath the surface of Willow Creek lies a truth more unsettling than anyone is prepared to face - one that could tear the town apart or bring long-overdue justice. Altered Innocence is a chilling psychological thriller about a town haunted by its silence, a child burdened with the weight of unspoken horrors, and the terrifying cost of ambition masked as care. Gripping, emotional, and unsettling, this is a story of survival, justice, and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes monsters don't live in the woods - they live next door.…
