Bolder: Making the Most of Our Longer Lives
by Carl HonoreCarl Honoré captured the zeitgeist with his international bestseller, In Praise of Slow. Now he tackles another rising global movement: our revolutionary new approach to a human inevitability--ageing. A revolution in how we age is on its way. Yes, ageing is inevitable: one year from now we will all be a year older; that will never change. What can and will change is how we age--and how we can all take a much bolder approach to doing it with vigour and joy. The time has come to cast off prejudices and to blur the lines of what is possible and permissible at every stage of life. In other words: we need to learn to re-imagine our approach to later life. Emboldening ourselves in older age demands big structural changes. For a start, we will have to tear up the old script that locks us into devoting the early part of our life to education, the middle chunk to working and raising kids, and whatever is left over at the end to leisure. In an age-inappropriate world, these silos will dissolve. We'll embrace the idea that we can carry on learning from start to finish; that we can work less and devote more time to family, leisure, and giving back to our communities in our middle years; and that we can remain active and engaged in our later years. Carl Honoré has travelled the globe speaking to influential figures who are bucking preconceived notions of age, whether at work or in their personal lives. He looks at the cultural, medical, and technological developments that are opening new possibilities for us all. Bolder is a radical re-think of our approach to everything from education, healthcare and work, to design, relationships and politics. An essential and inspiring read for everyone interested in our collective future.

Boldly Go: Reflections on a Life of Awe and Wonder
by William ShatnerThe beloved star of Star Trek, recent space traveler, and living legend William Shatner reflects on the interconnectivity of all things, our fragile bond with nature, and the joy that comes from exploration with &“the insights he&’s gleaned over his long, productive life&” (Booklist) in this inspiring, revelatory, and exhilarating collection of essays.Long before Gene Roddenberry put him on a starship to explore the galaxy, long before he actually did venture to space, William Shatner was gripped by his own quest for knowledge and meaning.

Bond of Brothers: Connecting with Other Men Beyond Work, Weather and Sports
by Wes Yoder“The perfect conversation for men with little to say can be summed up in eight words: 'Can you believe the weather at that game?'” Author Wes Yoder’s words are humorous. Yet beyond the sports and weather chatter and silence that characterize many male conversations, there is brokenness. Emptiness. Shame. That’s not funny. For Yoder, addressing the problem is not about planting the flag for one’s manhood by joining a mass movement for men, nor is it necessary for men to “sire a herd or shoot a moose to authenticate their manhood.” Yoder calls disappointed, disenchanted, and lonely men to authenticity. To rediscover joy. To find satisfaction. In Bond of Brothers, men will discover: - Why your career and performance at work are not your identity - How to defeat the fears that come to a man in the “Tough Years" - What to do when you are too worried to forgive or too power-hungry to smile - Why spiritual friendships are the central, life-giving core of all healthy relationships among men Being present to comfort, to love, to listen, to take a step toward Jesus together in our brokenness … that is the essence of friendship, Yoder writes. When we invite Jesus into our shared brokenness, he can do the work of remaking what is left of the mess we have made of ourselves. Begin a journey toward authenticity and your true identity here!

Boo!!: Ghosts I Have(n't) Loved
by Najla MadyBOO!! is a collection of true ghost stories by Najla Mady, Canada’s very own ghostbuster. From voodoo rituals, infant possession, to the antics of gentle, benign spirits, including the famous love affair of Captain Swayze from the War of 1812, who entertained many a guest at the Angel Inn at Niagara-on-the-Lake, Najla recites here a few of her more entertaining ghostly encounters. Najla Mady has been much courted by the media. On her own weekly TV show, A Psychic Hour with Najla, she predicted the assassination of Anwar Sadat. When she is not doing personal counselling, she exorcizes ghosts from homes and other places. EXORCIZES GHOSTS??! Is that the activity of a sane, rational personality, you might ask? Anyone who has had the delight of working with Najla will describe a most down-to-earth person. No dippy, chanting, star-gazing fanatic, this woman. BOO!! represents a departure for most of the literature available in this genre because it is not sensationalist. Najla’s single purpose is to help demystify the world of parapsychology for us ordinary folk who live only (and perhaps regrettably) in the obvious, physical realm.
