Book Description
“Those messages are crumbs, filling an empty pot, it’s just the beginning. Esmeralda is a fatal beautiful lady like Morgan le Fay, she’s offering her mystery without knowing why. Paolo is the fearless man who wants to conquer quietly. They look like two teenagers.” Esmeralda, a young successful interior designer, can’t sleep on a hot summer night. She’s bored and she thrusts her arm forward to take her phone on the bedside table. She starts scrolling through posts on Facebook, without thinking about anything, it’s just a game. She touches the phone by mistake and she adds “a new friend”, Paolo Marotta, a school friend, who has become a warehouse worker, a loser, a night wanderer, living a life that doesn’t suit him. That’s how it starts the illness of the modern world: the chat. Virtually, they talk about their life and their bad moments; they reveal their secrets, feelings, desires, hopes, temptations and forbidden dreams…. The silence of a virtual world lived through text messages becomes a necessity, an unintelligible addiction, what will it happen to them?

Book Description
The web is a life-giving heartbreaker for Esmeralda and Paolo. Their love story is so exciting that it becomes absolute passion.. They get inside the vortex that attracts them like in the garden of Eden. They find the forbidden fruit, they want it at any cost and there is no way out. A desired need beyond their dream. The dream of two lives beyond the chat... Esmeralda and Paolo are the protagonists in the carousel of a virtual world. Online connection is an essential vital call. They receive texts messages and they feel attracted; an incomprehensible need that binds them with a double slip knot. They steal a glance at their profiles, they’re shaped by their thoughts, their emotions; they provoke one another on the web, in the silence of the chat. A force of gravity that carries them away beyond any awareness. It’s a whim that gets into their minds, a vortex where they find their forbidden fruit: the web. An online call, a necessity of life. Esmeralda and Paolo play and enjoy their virtual connection. A vagabond chat that attracts them. Thus, they fill doubts, empty spaces and the insecurities of their past. It’s an odd thing, but they can’t give up to those silent messages that beautify their life. The virtual experience becomes their fairytale and now they want to embra embrace. Embrace it... Embrace it...

Book Description
Reeve Lindbergh, daughter of aviator-authors Charles A. and Anne Morrow Lindbergh, writes about the intersection of fame and privacy from her unique perspective¿as the spokesperson for the arguably most famous family of the twentieth century. In her new book, Lindbergh reflects on her own ¿Two Lives,¿ navigating her role as the public face of her family while, at the same time, leading a very quiet existence in rural Vermont. After devoting years to keeping separate her ¿Lindbergh life¿ and her everyday life on her farm, she now finds herself able to make peace with her two lives. Lindbergh takes us into the National Air and Space Museum and her own kitchen drawers with equal ease, discovering that the history-making items on display are, for her, like the memorabilia that most families keep in the attic. Two Lives reconciles the seemingly separate worlds of fame and privacy, even finding a ¿certain sweetness¿ when they intersect.

Book Description
From the best-selling author of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and After Dark, a rich and revelatory memoir about writing and running, and the integral impact both have made on his life. In 1982, having sold his jazz bar to devote himself to writing, Haruki Murakami began running to keep fit. A year later, he’d completed a solo course from Athens to Marathon, and now, after dozens of such races, not to mention triathlons and a slew of critically acclaimed books, he reflects upon the influence the sport has had on his life and—even more important—on his writing. Equal parts training log, travelogue, and reminiscence, this revealing memoir covers his four-month preparation for the 2005 New York City Marathon and includes settings ranging from Tokyo’s Jingu Gaien gardens, where he once shared the course with an Olympian, to the Charles River in Boston among young women who outpace him. Through this marvellous lens of sport emerges a cornucopia of memories and insights: the eureka moment when he decided to become a writer, his greatest triumphs and disappointments, his passion for vintage LPs and the experience, after the age of fifty, of seeing his race times improve and then fall back. By turns funny and sobering, playful and philosophical, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running is both for fans of this masterful yet guardedly private writer and for the exploding population of athletes who find similar satisfaction in distance running.

Book Description
Her stunning bestsellers Passages and New Passages brilliantly mapped the changes we live through from youth to maturity. Now Gail Sheehy guides contemporary men through the turbulent challenges and surprising pleasures that begin at forty. As a man crosses that threshold, he is bound to ask midlife's most troubling question: Now what? Work anxieties, concerns over sexual potency, marital and family stress, issues of power, all take on new urgency as men contemplate the decades ahead. But as Gail Sheehy reveals in this major new book, midlife is precisely the period when men are most likely to reinvent themselves and become masters of their fate. In Understanding Men's Passages, Sheehy offers all men--and the women in their lives--an essential guide to self-discovery. Hundreds of bold, imaginative men--celebrities as well as everyday heroes--share here their most intimate desires, deepest fears, and most fervent cravings for renewal. Decade by decade, Sheehy uncovers the real issues facing men today: finding new passion and purpose to invigorate the second half of their lives, dealing with "manopause," surviving job change, enjoying post-nesting zest, defeating depression, and learning what keeps a man young. Informative and inspiring, grounded in fact and full of fascinating life stories, Understanding Men's Passages is a landmark that will take its place beside Gail Sheehy's epoch-making Passages and New Passages.

Book Description
Leaders face numerous critical crossroads in their careers, moments that can provide extraordinary learning and growth opportunities or ensnare them and prevent further development. The good thing about these passages is that they’re predictable, and with proper preparation, leaders not only can survive them to become stronger but can use these experiences to enhance their leadership, compassion, and effectiveness. This book lays out thirteen specific “leadership passages” based on research, interviews, and coaching of senior executives in such well-known companies as Johnson & Johnson, Novarits, Intel, GE, and Bank of America. For each passage, the authors describe what to expect, how the passage constitutes a choice point, and what effective leaders do to navigate and grow from the challenge. Some of the passages include: moving into a leadership role for the first time, dealing with significant failure for which you are responsible, derailing/losing your job, being acquired/merging, losing faith in the system, understanding the importance of children, family and friends, and personal upheavals such as divorce, illness, and death. The authors provide a wealth of practical tools and techniques to improve your leadership, along with real-life examples from recognizable leaders and breakthrough ways in which companies can use the concept of leadership passages to grow talent.
