The obstacle is the way-best book for skill development
What matters is not what the obstacle is, but how one perceives it and responds to it. With the right perspective, there is a curious way to reduce obstacles and difficulties with their size. Imagine that you and your best friend are trying to overcome obstacles, look at your skills and possessions, and forget your emotions.

Challenge Yourself To Read One Popular Science Book a Month
Popular science books are unlike any other books out there. Both educational and entertaining, a good popular science book is a perfect mix of everything that makes reading worthwhile and enjoyable. And while reading only pop-science books might seem like overkill, at least one book a month can make a world of difference.

Colonialism in Literature
It is a widely held belief that colonialism had a hugely negative effect on the cultures taken over and altered by colonizers, and this is clearly evident in all- if not most- of Africa and some of Asia. This destruction of culture and lives by way of colonization is most readily depicted in Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness and Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart, though their perspectives of the same major events differs greatly. Heart of Darkness is from the perspective of Marlow, a man sent to the Congo from Europe, and his journey down the Congo River, while Things Fall Apart is from the perspective of a man named Okonkwo, a native of Africa and a tribe known as the Igbo. The contrast between these two perspectives gives the reader a fuller understanding of the different effects colonialism had on both societies.

Lord of Order Brett Riley 2021 ISBN: 9781945501425 (hardback) IMBRIFEX Books 437 pages "Wow, what a concept!" Brett Riley has written a novel entitled 'Lord of Order' that is to me a cross between thriller and horror along with science fiction. This is the story of what would happen if New Orleans were a prison city. 'Lord of Order' is a futurist novel that keeps things and ideas of the past. There are two to three groups in this story (Crusaders, Troublers, Conspirators). It is also a book of having faith in yourself and your ideals. The main characters of Gabriel, Hobbes, and Baudreaux, who are Crusaders/ Chief Troubler- Stransky who have a lot in common, but will need to work through their differences in themselves and New Orleans.
