Analysis
That Ikigai Book
This is the book that yours truly is talking (literally raving) about in the opening image of this article. I kind of have my work on social media to thank, for helping one really get in touch with her Ikigai. Who knew that one simple book could be packed full of wisdom, gems, and other tips for living a life on "purpose." And it is not dry and academic, as would be the norm (and maybe even the expectation) of some of those types of books. For example, and much respect to Stephen Covey (in more ways than one, and thank you for your work); yet one is still stuck on what the seven highly habits of effective people actually are.

The Wager Book Review
David Grann's The Wager is a masterful work of nonfiction that tells the story of the Wager Mutiny, a real-life event that took place in 1741. The book is a gripping tale of shipwreck, survival, and murder, but it is also much more than that. It is a meditation on the nature of power, the limits of human endurance, and the power of storytelling.

Animal Farm Critique
A look into Communist Soviet Union using animals. The work made learning Soviet history easy and set focus out into what the world can become. Cognitive dissonance, existentialism, fear, and totalitarianism. It coined the new term Orwellian Universe. Great read on so many levels and for all ages. Read it!
