"[...]the east coast of Australia. Captain Baker thought at first that he was in the presence of an unknown sandbank; he even prepared to determine its exact position when two columns of water, projected by the mysterious object, shot with a hissing noise a hundred and fifty feet up into the air. Now, unless the sandbank had been submitted to the intermittent eruption of a geyser, the Governor Higginson had to do neither more nor less than with an aquatic mammal, unknown till then, which threw up from its blow-holes columns of water mixed with air and vapour. Similar facts were observed on the 23rd of July in the same year, in the Pacific Ocean, by the Columbus, of the West India and Pacific Steam Navigation Company. But this extraordinary creature could transport itself from one place to another with surprising velocity; as, in an interval of three days, the Governor Higginson and the Columbus had observed it at two different points of the chart, separated by a distance of more than seven hundred nautical leagues. Fifteen days later, two thousand miles farther off, the Helvetia, of the Compagnie-Nationale, and the Shannon, of the Royal Mail Steamship Company,[...]".

Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea, by Jules Verne

From School Library Journal Gr 4-8-Performed in radio theatre style, this audio version is a fine retelling of the Jules Verne classic. The St. Charles Players, composed of four actors, play a variety of roles with hammy gusto, although the dialogue is a bit rushed in the opening sections. This adaptation by Jeff Rack does a good job of capturing the feel of Verne's sprawling epic tale. The story is told by Professor Aronnax, who agrees to investigate a series of attacks by a mysterious sea monster. He joins the crew of the ship Abraham Lincoln. The men encounter what they believe is the monster, but turns out to be a large, state-of-the-art submarine, the Nautilus. Aronnax and a hot tempered harpoonist, Ned Land, are imprisoned on this vessel, captained by the misanthropic recluse, Nemo. Nemo takes them around the world. Verne's descriptions of the underwater world, with its exotic creatures and sunken ships, shine thanks to clear narration and evocative sound effects. As the journey continues, becoming monotonous, the program's midsection sags a bit. It picks up steam again with sequences involving a monstrous octopus and a storm. While not an essential purchase, this is an impressive attempt to adapt a classic.

Review Novel by Jules Verne, first published in French as Vingt Mille Lieues sous les mers in 1869-70. It is perhaps the most popular book of his science-fiction series Voyages extraordinaires (1863-1910). Professor Pierre Aronnax, the narrator of the story, boards an American frigate commissioned to investigate a rash of attacks on international shipping by what is thought to be an amphibious monster. The supposed sea creature, which is actually the submarine Nautilus, sinks Aronnax's vessel and imprisons him along with his devoted servant Conseil and Ned Land, a temperamental harpooner. The survivors meet Captain Nemo, an enigmatic misanthrope who leads them on a worldwide, yearlong underwater adventure. The novel is noted for its exotic situations, the technological innovations it describes, and the tense interplay of the three captives and Nemo (who reappears in The Mysterious Island). -- The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature

READ REVIEW FOR ***CORRECT TRANSLATION*** By coolhand There are three significant translations of this book, and amazon's lacklustre book-sorting system creates nothing but chaos when searching for the correct format / translation of this book. I'm here to help!note: (find the version you are looking for with the ISBN numbers I've provided at the bottom of this review, you can just copy and paste them into the amazon search field and hit GO).Here are excerpts from the three most common translations:Paragraph one, translated by Mercier Lewis -THE YEAR 1866 WAS signalized by a remarkable incident, a mysterious and inexplicable phenomenon, which doubtless no one has yet forgotten. Not to mention rumors which agitated the maritime population, and excited the public mind, even in the interior of continents, seafaring men were particularly excited. Merchants, common sailors, captains of vessels, skippers, both of Europe and America, naval officers of all countries, and the governments of several states on the two continents, were deeply interested in the matter.Paragraph one, translated by Walter James Miller and Frederick Paul Walter (1996) -THE YEAR 1866 was marked by a bizarre development, an unexplained and downright inexplicable phenomenon that surely no one has forgotten. Without getting into those rumors that upset civilians in the seaports and deranged the public mind even far inland, it must be said that professional seamen were especially alarmed. Traders, shipowners, captains of vessels, skippers, and master mariners from Europe and America, naval officers from every country, and at their heels the various national governments on these two continents, were all extremely disturbed by the business.Paragraph one, translated by William Butcher -The year 1866 was marked by a strange event, an unexplained and inexplicable occurrence that doubtless no one has yet forgotten. Without mentioning the rumours which agitated the denizens of the ports and whipped up the public's imagination on every continent, seafaring men felt particularly disturbed. The merchants, shipowners, sea-captains, skippers, and master-mariners of Europe and America, the naval officers of every country, and eventually the various nationals governments on both continents--all became extremely worried about this matter.------------------------------------------------------------------------------WHAT a difference! And who to trust?From wikipedia:"Many of Mercier's errors were corrected in a from-the-ground-up re-examination of the sources and an entirely new translation by Walter James Miller and Frederick Paul Walter."So, the modern translation to seek is either the Walter James Miller / Frederick Paul Walter edition, or the William Butcher edition, depending on your preference for the above excerpts.------------------------------------------------------------------------------And here is how to find them:USA - amazon.comWalter James Miller / Frederick Paul Walterkindle edition ASIN: B004DNWRPQpaper edition ISBN:1440414262William Butcherkindle edition ASIN: (appears to be unavailable at the moment)paper edition ISBN: 0199539278------------------------------------------------------------------------------UK - amazon.co.ukWalter James Miller / Frederick Paul Walterkindle edition ASIN: B00BIFLLV8 or B00BSK24HIpaper edition ISBN: 1438446640William Butcherkindle edition ASIN: (appears to be unavailable at the moment)paper edition ISBN: 0199539278

83 of 85 people found the following review helpful. DREADFUL TRANSLATION, UNRELIABLE NOTES By F. P. Walter A sorry example of the laziness and irresponsibility of many trade editors today -- and it's especially shameful in a publication targeted to students and youngsters.First, the basic text is dreadful: though unidentified, it's the long-discredited translation signed by "Mercier Lewis" and rushed into print in 1872 by the London firm of Sampson, Low. As modern scholars have documented on numerous occasions, Verne's original French was politically censored, drastically abridged, couched in stilted Victorian prose, and riddled with hundreds of inane translating errors. Its clunky, antiquated English is something no American student could possibly enjoy ("I own my heart beat," says the narrator, who actually means, "I admit my heart was pounding"). As for the translating blunders, some are asinine beyond belief -- Verne's characters start a fire with a lentil (Verne: lens) . . . loosen bolts with a key (Verne: wrench) . . . and claim iron is lighter than water (Verne: the opposite, of course).Are these obscure facts? Anything but. Over the past four decades, this translation's inadequacy has been bemoaned repeatedly in basic reference works (Taves & Michaluk's JULES VERNE ENCYCLOPEDIA), online (the Jules Verne Forum at jv.gilead.org.il), and in readily available MODERN translations of this novel (e.g., the paperback editions from Signet, Oxford, and the U.S. Naval Institute). What's more, not only has Simon & Schuster's current editorial staff shirked the most rudimentary homework, they're apparently too lazy even to double-check their OWN publishing files: as long ago as 1966, S & S issued a revised edition of the Mercier Lewis translation; they hired NYU expert Walter James Miller to correct and reword Lewis's text -- which, in a specially written preface, Miller denounced as a "botched up translation . . . slashed and slapdash." Lewis's renderings, he said, "bristle with technical errors and omit whole passages vital to the technical integrity, the character development, even the humor of the story."In short, Simon & Schuster could easily have reprinted their own 1966 version, not ideal but vastly better than Lewis's original. Or, alternatively, they could have reprinted either of the other two English translations in the public domain, both superior in accuracy and completeness. But, these days, indolence and ignorance apparently rule in the halls of S & S.So, though this Enriched Classics series boasts on its back covers about its "practical scholarship," the said scholarship, not surprisingly, often works out to be dismally unreliable. The "helpful notes" and "insightful commentary" can range from the useless to the ridiculous. On p. 425, the explanatory notes can only tell us that such sea creatures as tubipores, gorgones, and spondyles are "various kinds of marine life." Big help. (They're corals, sea fans, and oysters, folks.) On the other hand, when the notes attempt more, they're often worse: on p. 426, for instance, I was amazed to learn that porphitae and asterophytons are "igneous outcrops." Nooo!!! These aren't rocks, people, they're animals! (Jellyfish and starfish, for Lord's sake.)If you're as astonished as I am that such bluff and nonsense is being palmed off on our kids as "scholarship," write S & S this week.Meantime, what edition of 20,000 LEAGUES should you acquire? First, in addition to this Enriched Classics version, also avoid those other student editions (!) published by Scholastic, Tor, and Apple -- they don't identify it either, but they all blindly reprint this same hopeless 1872 Mercier Lewis translation. Fortunately, however, there are four sound paperback texts of 20,000 LEAGUES, all readily available, all immeasurably superior in accuracy, completeness, and readablility. For general readers the Bonner (Bantam) and Brunetti (Signet) translations are both worthwhile. For readers wanting an annotated edition, there are two good ones: Butcher's (Oxford), which is strong on the novel's genesis and manuscript record, and Miller's own illustrated retranslation (U.S. Naval Institute), which is strong on the marine biology -- and on which I myself collaborated. All are competitively priced, so there's no need to settle for something inferior.By the way, the above-cited deficiencies may well be typical of this Enriched Classics collection as a whole -- I note that their edition of Dumas' MONTE CRISTO also features a seriously inadequate text. Students, parents, and teachers are warned to proceed with caution vis-à-vis the entire series.

512 of 560 people found the following review helpful. Don't buy this book! By J. M. Margot If you're going to read one of the great classics of literature-and you should-don't pick up this edition. It is a reprint of a version that dates back to the 1870s and was exposed more than 40 years ago for cutting nearly one-quarter of Verne's story and mistranslating much of the remainder. Its reappearance in this edition is all the more amazing considering Tor's status as a leading science fiction publisher, and the company's willingness to perpetrate this fraud on is many readers is truly stunning. If you want to truly get to know Verne's novel, pick up the elegant Naval Institute Press edition, in a modern, complete, updated translation, with commentary by the leading American Verne expert today, Walter James Miller. That book also comes with many of the artistic engravings that illustrated the original French first edition (no illustrations are to be found in the B&N Mercier reprint). Less attractive but more academic is the Oxford Classics version of Twenty Thousand Leagues. This review is posted on behalf of the North American Jules Verne Society by Jean-Michel Margot, president NAJVS.

Gail. Hannah. Bridget. Lizzy. Flavia. Each of them has a shameful secret, and each is about to find out that she is not alone… Gail, a prominent Boston judge, keeps receiving letters from her husband's latest girlfriend, while her husband, a theology professor, claims he's nine-months sober from sex with grad students. Hannah, a homemaker, catches her husband having sex with a male prostitute in a public restroom. Bridget, a psychiatric nurse at a state hospital, is sure she has a loving, doting spouse, until she learns that he is addicted to chat rooms and match-making websites. Lizzy, a high school teacher, is married to a porn addict, who is withdrawn and uninterested in sex with her. Flavia was working at the Boston Public library when someone brought her an article that stated her husband had been arrested for groping a teenage girl on the subway. He must face court, and Flavia must decide if she wants to stay with him. Finally, Kathryn, the young psychologist running the group, has as much at stake as all of the others.

As the women share never-before-uttered secrets and bond over painful truths, they work on coming to terms with their husbands' addictions and developing healthy boundaries for themselves. Meanwhile, their outside lives become more and more intertwined, until, finally, a series of events forces each woman to face her own denial, betrayal and uncertain future head-on.

From author Sylvia True comes The Wednesday Group, a captivating, moving novel about friendship, marriage, and the bonds that connect us all.

Case "The Wednesday Group," a debut novel by Sylvia True, is a terrific work of psychological fiction. In my opinion, what the book does best is to create five very different and very authentic female characters. Each character has a marvelous distinct literary voice. This is the type of character development that you'd expect from a master literary craftsperson, yet somehow this debut novelist comes out of nowhere and pulls it off as if it were second nature.Each of the women in this novel is in emotional crisis. We, the readers, are invited to hitch a ride along with them as they journey through the minefields of psychological transition. Open this book and meet Lizzy, Bridget, Hannah, Gail, and Flavia: five emotionally tattered women who come together every Wednesday evening to form a five-person therapy group under the guidance of a professional counselor.On the surface, these women are an unusually good-looking group...and they're married to good-looking men, too. Their lives seem ideal, and perhaps to some, very enviable. However, very early in the book, as we get to know each character, we start to see how genuinely unique and different they are from each other. These women come from totally different educational and economic levels; there is a wide difference in ages; they have different goals and interests in life; they each have different personalities; and perhaps most fascinating of all, they each have completely different styles for dealing with emotional pain. Of course, what these women have in common--the problem that brings them together in group therapy--is that their husbands have been clinically diagnosed as sex addicts.At the beginning of the group, all the women are committed to their marriages. Each grasps that what has happened in her marriage is not her problem. They understand--at least on a factual and theoretical level, that their husbands have a disease. However, that doesn't make it easier for them to deal with it emotionally. What the women hope to gain from their therapy group is support and understanding in dealing with their common issues of shame, anger, rejection (especially sexual rejection), guilt, and lack of control.Sylvia True has written an exceptional debut. It took me a while to get into this book, but by the time I'd finished it, I was extremely pleased I'd given the book a chance...that I'd taken the psychological journey alongside these five emotionally fragile and courageous women. I learned a great deal...plus I was entertained by a story that actually developed into somewhat of a suspense-filled thriller toward the end.The focus of the book is, at all times, squarely on the women's emotional and psychological transitions. The book devotes very little time to covering the men, their situations, personalities, and quite different types of sexual addictions. For the sake of this review summary, it is enough to know that one is addicted to Internet pornography, another to making sexual conquests through chat rooms and online meet-up-sites, another to hooking up briefly for sexual purposes in public bathrooms with anonymous men; another to groping women sexually in public places like subways, and the last, to having serial sexual liaisons with his college-aged students. Each man has been diagnosed as a sexual addict through some type of clinical evaluation. Each man has either completed therapy or is currently involved in therapy. Each is committed to stopping his sexually addictive behaviors and committing himself to his marriage.The book is written in the third person, with the point of view alternating between the five women as well as their therapist. All chapters consist of a series of scenes with action and dialogue. The effect is a work of fiction that is exceptionally genuine, honest, immediate, and authentic.The author is a high school chemistry teacher. She has a sister who is a psychiatrist. She conducted many one-on-one interviews with women living through these same issues before writing this novel. I'm sure much of what is here is a composite of what she learned during those interviews. There is much here that reads like the truth.If you love psychological fiction, this is definitely something you should not miss. I think this novel has outstanding cinematic potential. Hollywood, please take note. This would make a terrific movie.

8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Interesting novel bringing together women from very different backgrounds. About betrayal, denial and choices. By Two kids mom First of all, this book is really not about sex addiction, it is about women dealing with betrayal. Each woman has a cheating significant other, betraying them at different levels and for different reasons. Centered around a help group run by a psychology graduate student (Kathryn) the plot gradually widens to include the exterior lives of the group members.All of the group members are individuals but I felt that in some cases (Hanna ,Gail and Lizzy) their motivations and foibles were outlined in more detail than in others (Flavia and Bridget). The latter seem to exist more as foils to the group, than as individuals in their own right.I have never been in counseling or in a group session I found the dynamics quite interesting. By have the setup be a group session, the author was able to pull in women from very different backgrounds, who in other situations would probably not become confidants. This made for a fascinating interplay between the women. The author handled this chapters very well.However, the ending was rather abrupt. I felt like the author was not sure how to conclude the book gracefully. I was left feeling like I was owed at least another couple of chapters.

5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Riveting Drama with tremendous insights, you won't be able to put it down! -No Spoilers- By Tell Me A Story Sylvia True has written an outstanding account on the impact that sex addictions can have on partners and family members, some of which are quite unexpected. Her characterizations ring true, each main character struggling with her own insecurities, the fear of the future and the underlying feelings of betrayal, alienation and raw personal shame as deep as that of those who grieve a loss of life or relationship of an immediate family member. Each of the women deals with some level of denial and at times feels misunderstood by the addict as well as the others attending their support group. What starts as a grasping of straws to survive another day evolves into most of the women developing coping skills to face their unknown future and mutual support and compassion for each other.There wasn't a wasted word in this debut masterpiece, though I would have liked it to have been longer, the ending on the whole was satisfying. Ms. True develops her characters with an artist's sensitivity and clarity. Anyone who has struggled with a partner with this condition will identify with stages of grief and the questioning of how if their own reaction's influence the problems that ensue. Ms. True is a therapist and it is obvious that she has vast knowledge of this type of addiction's manifestations and repercussions.I was absorbed from the very beginning. The women's pain was palatable and likewise, their healing process and friendships were encouraging. I would not hesitate in recommending this book for it's honest insights as well as its flowing storyline. This is a must read for those emotionally impacted by this problem as it offers powerful validation in addition to its well written prose.

Great Running guide for beginners By Alex Riches First of all, I want to give props to the author for offering a very complete guide for runners with zero or few experiences under their belt, bacause running could be counterproductive if taken on the wrong foot.About this ebook, I found inspirational the author's story of bodyweight struggle and low self esteem to explain why he wrote the book in first place.In the first chapter you can learn about the best shoes to buy depending on the type of feet you have and what to do in order to get used to them. Also, you can be educated about the best times for running and the necessary items to experience a better running performance.Then, the main rules for outdoor running are explained in a concise but clear way.The second chapter shows a huge list of health benefits confirmed by scientific research. In my opinion, this list alone is a serious mood uplifter.The third chapter instructs you how to warm up and stretching your body in a step-by-step fashion with mny exercises to choose from.The fourth chapter answer one of the most frequent question among the beginner runners: "how many kilometers/miles I shoud run?" in a very detailed and comprehensive manner.The final chapters guides you through a long list of th best foods to eat before and after running (reasons included), and also the simplest and practical ways to keep you motivated before and during a run.All in all, I'm glad to say that this guide is great for both beginners and more advanced athletes who can rediscover some more fun & healthy running.

Hoffman Running for Beginners is a great book for anyone that would like to start a running routine but feels overwhelmed. Even though running as an exercise choice has become more popular there are so many different trails, clothing choices, shoes, etc. that it can easily seem like too much for a beginner to handle. I felt that way and instead of just trying something out I caught myself procrastinating and not running at all. This book had some great points and even included a section about how to choose the basic items necessary and how to stay safe while running. I never considered the point about keeping music low and always thought I would blast something motivational to run to. The author made a great point about how that was an unsafe choice and music should be kept at a level where you can still be aware of your surroundings. I would definitely recommend this book to others that are curious about how to start running today.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. There’s more to running than running! By J Blunden If like me you always thought that running just meant putting on your trainers and going for a run then this book will prove you wrong. This book explains in great detail all that a would-be runner should know before taking up the sport or using it as part of a fitness regime. It is packed full of information from how to select the correct pair of running shoes, warming up, diet and motivation. For me the book is great as it has shown me how to enjoy and stay motivated when running, rather than seeing it as just something that I need to do to keep fit and healthy. Recommended to anyone considering taking up running and wanting to get the most out of it.

Read Ebook The Giving Way to Happiness: Stories and Science Behind the Life-Changing Power of Giving, by Jenny Santi

We often focus on how our gifts can help those in need. But the act of giving actually improves our own lives as well. In The Giving Way to Happiness, Jenny Santi overturns conventional thinking about what it takes to be happy by revealing how giving to others—whether in the form of money, expertise, time, or love—has helped people from all walks of life find purpose and joy. Drawing on the wisdom of great thinkers past and present, as well as cutting-edge scientific research, Santi makes an eloquent and passionate case that oftentimes the answers to the problems that haunt us, and the key to the happiness that eludes us, lie in helping those around us. This book is filled with inspiring stories told firsthand by Academy Award winner Goldie Hawn, Noble Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, maternal health advocate Christy Turlington Burns, Teach for America founder Wendy Kopp, philanthropist Richard Rockefeller, environmentalist Philippe Cousteau, and many others from all over the world. Despite their diverse backgrounds, they have all found unexpected happiness and fulfillment through giving. In addition, Santi reveals:- How altruism involves far more than suppressing basic selfish urges. Rather, we are wired to give, as it activates the same pleasure centers of the brain stimulated by food, sex, and drugs- How helping others can be a healthy way to deal with adversity and process grief- Practical, universally applicable lessons on what kind of giving makes people happy and what doesn’t. How do you discover giving that is unique to you and makes you feel good? In this inspiring book, Santi reveals giving is the secret to living a life that is full of meaning, purpose, and happiness

The Giving Way to Happiness: Stories and Science Behind the Life-Changing Power of Giving, by Jenny Santi

Review “The Giving Way to Happiness is full of interesting insights from big-ticket philanthropists and prominent personalities, but it is also about something bigger: how we can all find happiness through helping others. If done right, giving may well be the greatest gift you can give yourself.”—Adam Grant, professor, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, and New York Times-bestselling author of Give and Take“This thoughtful look at philanthropy honestly examines the self-interest often involved in it and suggests that a self-focused approach to giving may in fact be entirely appropriate.” —Publishers Weekly“Well done! A wonderful and timely contribution.” —Christy Turlington Burns, founder of Every Mother Counts“The Giving Way to Happiness will change the way you approach giving, shifting the focus from charity to empathy, from a one-way transfer to a mutually beneficial act, from guilt and obligation to pleasure and happiness. Jenny Santi, through her well-researched, eloquent, and insightful book, teaches us how we can help ourselves by helping others." ​—Carl Liederman, former CEO of One Young World, and founder & CEO of Liedership"Does humanity really need another book about happiness? If it’s this one, yes. Jenny Santi brings unique access to some of the world’s highest profile givers. By getting into their heads, she gives us moving glimpses into their hearts. And into hers—a new generation MBA who seeks justice and joy. These pages pop with hope for both."—Irshad Manji, founder of NYU's Moral Courage Project, and New York Times-bestselling author of The Trouble with Islam Today "Jenny Santi’s book delivers an important message: Giving can make as much of a difference in your own life as it does in others’. It’s a new way of thinking and a compelling case for giving that can help cultivate purpose for individuals and change for communities. Her stories of how inspiring people such as Ted Turner and Muhammad Yunus made the decision to give at scale also show you don’t have to be a billionaire or world leader to make a difference." —Kathy Calvin, CEO, United Nations Foundation "As Jenny Santi so eloquently shows, to give is not just better than to receive; to give is to receive. The people in this book are from all walks of life—a dolphin captor who comes to regret his work, the grieving mother of a 9/11 victim, a Bangladeshi economist doubtful that what he's teaching really matters, an entrepreneur struggling with ALS, and many others—but they share a passion for giving that changes them in profound ways. Their stories are a testament to the fact that when we give of ourselves, we not only improve the lives of others, but we find genuine happiness and deeper meaning in our own." —Brandt Goldstein,  visiting associate professor at New York Law School and author of Storming the Court "Given the growing inequity on our planet, what is the solution? Santi shows us that a culture of giving can change the world around us while fulfilling each of our lives at the deepest level. Impressive, inspiring, and full of wisdom!" —Shiv Khemka, Vice Chairman, SUN Group "Jenny Santi has succeeded in crafting a compelling blend of moving stories, powerful insights, and practical advice on how each of us can find 'The Giving Way to Happiness.' This book demonstrates that each of us can feel the impact and spiritual rewards of giving if we choose to make the journey. Her efforts and personal experiences will be an inspiration to many." —Alex Charlton, president of Cavendish Global“This is an inspirational book, which addresses both philosophical and practical questions. Santi’s perceptive account is uplifting and insightful. The book is packed with heart-warming stories, fascinating research, personal revelations, useful tips, and timely advice. The Giving Way to Happiness explores the very real connection between helping others and helping ourselves.” —Ilian Mihov, Dean, INSEAD "With expertise, passion, and captivating real-life stories that keep you at the edge of your seat, Jenny Santi reminds us of the life-changing power of giving—it is essential to our well-being as individuals, families, and communities. The Giving Way to Happiness is an important book for people of every generation who want to be fully alive in the world." —Tara Stiles, founder and CEO of Strala Yoga"There is now compelling evidence from neuroscience that giving tends to make people happy. Jenny Santi has added to this science the evidence of a fascinating collection of people, some well known, some not, who have  experienced life changing happiness through dedication to  philanthropy. Santi has written a book that is insightful and  entertaining and sure to inspire readers to try some of that recipe for happiness themselves.—Matthew Bishop, globalisation editor at The Economist, and coauthor of Philanthrocapitalism“Authentic, candid, and insightful, The Giving Way to Happiness masterfully interweaves touching and often surprising stories into the analysis of how people live lives full of meaning, purpose and happiness. This is an important book that sends a wonderful message that is so simple at its core but that is unfortunately too often overlooked—that the act of giving creates a multiplier effect, adding something to the life of those in need but also intrinsically rewarding the giver too, making him or her happier as well. Altruistic or not—the effect is positive. Santi's book is filled with lessons you’ll want to immediately start applying to your life. Read it to find out more." —Boris FJ Collardi, CEO of Julius Baer “An enlightening read, filled with open, honest glimpses into the lives of inspirational personalities from different walks of life. This is a rare book that will make you smile, move you to tears, inspire you to make a difference, and make you happy—while reading the same page. This book is a friendly, approachable yet sharply written narrative packed with ideas you’ll want to immediately start applying to your life." —Malvinder Mohan Singh, executive chairman of Fortis Healthcare Ltd. "This book presents a groundbreaking new perspective on happiness. Through her exciting career as a philanthropy advisor to some of the world’s most generous individuals, Jenny Santi offers us a view into the principles that have made them not only successful, but truly happy."—Jayesh Parekh, co-founder of Sony Entertainment Television and managing partner of Jungle Ventures"A wonderful book for a new generation of individuals who not only want to make a difference but also want to live exciting, fulfilling, and happy lives. Packed with inspiring stories of people from different walks of life and with lessons directly applicable to your own. Just pick it up and you’ll be hooked!"—Katherine Lorenz, President, Cynthia and George Mitchell Foundation“In a very readable and compelling way, Jenny Santi weaves together science and strategy that will inspire anyone who is looking to build more strategic purpose into philanthropy, gain insights into volunteering, or better understand their purpose. A must-read!” —John R Hart, vice chairman, New York Private Bank & Trust

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. PREFACE   The Most Satisfying Thing You’ll Ever Do Confessions on What Giving Does to the Giver   Seven years ago, I stumbled into the unusual career of advising extraordinarily wealthy people on their charitable activities. Straight out of business school, I was hired by one of the world’s largest private banks to be part of their team of in‑house philanthropy advisors, and I relocated from New York City to Singapore. It was a dream job for many, including me. To this day, almost every day, I get random requests from people wanting to hear how I landed a position that they perceive to be about “telling rich people how to give away their money.” (The job definitely had aspects of that, but as with any corporate job, it was not nearly as glamorous as people would imagine.)   My job exposed me to an extraordinary world where the clients I met were hundreds of times richer than Madonna. My clients had made enough money—hundreds of millions, even billions—to give in a significant way, often through a formal family foundation or a charitable trust. Week after week, I met with them privately, listening to the stories of what moved them to do what they do, probing deeply to understand their values and motivations so that I could guide them toward the most appropriate and natural course of action.   Reflecting on the stories my clients told me in those meetings over the years, I realize that most of these tales were yet unheard, except by me, because it was my job to listen to them. In those meetings set in skyscraper penthouses, five-star-hotel lobbies, and wood-paneled offices, my clients told me how their own acts of giving were transforming their lives and bringing them fulfillment in a way that was different from—and sometimes greater than—what they got from material wealth. I saw many of them cry, but only happy tears.   Through my work as a philanthropy advisor, I also had a chance to meet and speak privately with so many men and women from the social sector—social entrepreneurs, nonprofit professionals, young students, and volunteers from different walks of life. Not everyone had a lot of money to give away. Many were giving their time, their talents, and a big part of their lives to something that mattered deeply to them, and again I was struck by what I observed. Every time they spoke about their work—regardless of how grim the issues they were addressing, whether it was cancer, global warming, or domestic abuse—they beamed with purpose, and radiated with something that I can only call joy.   Yet outside those private settings, it seems that the world is all too hesitant to embrace the idea that by giving, we indeed receive. We are quick to pass judgment on companies that do good when they reap financial benefits in doing so; we label people as smug when they emerge from a volunteer trip brimming with smiles; we lambast founders of foundations named after themselves. Some generous givers, such as the multi-Grammy-winning singer Michael Bolton, whose namesake charity benefits abused women and children, tell me that they simply do not want to derive any joy from their charitable work. They say it is their duty, and that’s it. Just as the philosopher Immanuel Kant considered acts motivated by sympathy as not praiseworthy (because they make the do‑gooder feel better), it seems we have convinced ourselves that giving should be a sacrifice, an act of moral responsibility that renders itself null when we derive any joy from it. But why?   And so in public settings, the same people I meet talk about something else, something we have all heard before. In their speeches, media interviews, and public forums, they talk about their beneficiaries: the kids whose lives they have transformed for the better, the patients they have cured, the blind to whom they have given sight, the schools they have rebuilt from rubble.   These days, we are approaching a tipping point in terms of giving—or philanthropy, a word I try to avoid using because it sends images of Bill Gates writing billion-dollar checks to save the world, excluding the rest of us who can’t afford to do the same. (In the same way, Christy Turlington Burns told me, “I want to be described as an advocate, an activist, or as a servant of other people, not as a ‘philanthropist,’ because to me, that word sort of creates a disparity between those who can give versus those who need to be given to; it doesn’t feel comfortable to me and yet I know that’s just a perception.”)   There is a growing body of media articles, books, programs, and conferences that focus on giving, philanthropy, fund-raising, social entrepreneurship, and impact investing. They provide insights on various aspects of doing effective giving, such as how to set up a formal foundation, how to succeed in fund-raising, how to measure the effectiveness of a project, and so forth. But almost nothing out there focuses on the origin of the philanthropic impulse: the heart.   I believe that givers start giving because they are moved by a cause, but they endure because giving brings them happiness and fulfillment. As Bill Clinton said, “When I was president, Make‑A‑Wish brought forty-seven young people to see me, either in the White House or during my visits to communities where the children lived. Those kids did a lot more for me than I did for them.” The work I have done with notable individuals, wealthy donors, and various people from different walks of life over the past seven years has given me a glimpse of this and taught me that there is much more to uncover about the transformative effects of givingupon the self.   Many mystics, historians, and religious figures have alluded to this in the past. Aristotle coined the concept of eudaimonia, a state in which an individual experiences happiness from the successful performance of his or her moral duties.   Winston Churchill said: “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”   Or in the simple, beautiful words of an old Chinese proverb: “If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.”   Modern science sheds new light on this phenomenon. More than twenty years ago, Allan Luks brought forward the concept of the “helper’s high,” resulting from studies showing that groups who had helped through time and/ or money experienced a “euphoria” similar to that of those who had completed a physical challenge such as a race. Other sources have proven that giving activates the same brain regions that are activated by cocaine use. I am not suggesting that drug use take the place of donations, but it seems that both activate the ventral striatum region, the pleasure part of the brain; furthermore, at least two of the nonprofit professionals I have met in the course of writing this book have described the thrill they get from their work as similar to getting high on a drug.   A 2008 study by Professor Elizabeth Dunn of the University of British Columbia found that spending money on others promotes happiness more than spending money on oneself. In an experiment, participants were given an envelope containing either five dollars or twenty dollars, which they were asked to spend by the end of the day. Participants who were instructed to spend the money on a gift for someone else or for a charitable donation reported greater happiness than those who were instructed to spend the money on themselves. The study concluded that policy interventions that encourage people to invest income in others rather than in themselves may be worthwhile in the service of translating increased national wealth into increased national happiness.   My own journey is an example. It was no accident that I chose a career in the philanthropy sector. Growing up in Manila, the Philippines, as I was chauffeured to an exclusive school every day, I would look out a car window upon which beggars knocked, asking for food and loose change. It was always in the back of my mind that I had to do something about it, although I did not know how. When I was in business school, I knew I would not be happy with myself if I chose to work in finance, traditional management consulting, or in a consumer goods company coming up with marketing strategies for soap. I craved to do something that made a difference, although knew that I was not exactly the type of person who could happily move to Africa and live in a hut.   My twenties were some of the most difficult years in my life. I had a string of bad relationships, including one with a physically abusive man. My mom was diagnosed with cancer, and my parents’ thirty-year marriage collapsed and tore my family apart. But through all this, my career, first as a teacher and then as a philanthropy advisor, always kept me happy. As a teacher I woke up every day looking forward to being in the classroom, knowing that I was being of service to my students. When I became a philanthropy advisor, day after day I met with inspiring people working hard to make a difference, and their concern for something bigger than them made me realize that there is more to life than worrying about my own problems. I found strength in them and in their stories.   On one particularly miserable day, in the wake of the painful ending to an important relationship, I decided to do something good for the world instead of the usual day out with girlfriends for retail therapy and the blow‑by‑blow analysis of what the guy had done wrong. Being an animal lover, I volunteered for a day at Noah’s Ark Natural Animal Sanctuary, a haven for seven hundred dogs, three hundred cats, and dozens of reptiles, horses, rabbits, and other creatures who have been abandoned by their owners. What the animals got from me was a few morsels of food and perhaps some affection. But what I got from them was a deep sense of hope, meaning, and strength greater than I had thought possible. And one Christmas Eve, not too long ago in New York City, when I found myself with no set plans for the occasion, I volunteered to feed the homeless at a soup kitchen run by the Church of the Holy Apostles. I look back at that day as one of the most meaningful I’ve ever had. These experiences reminded me of the times when my mother would spend her birthday in an orphanage, in the company of children who, she said, brought her more joy than any present could.   Every day I see people trying to fill their time with something meaningful— What TV show to watch, what restaurant to indulge in, which mall to spend the whole day in. I see young people trying to find some pastime to entertain them, and old people worried about what to do during their retirement. And yet countless people have, since the dawn of history, alluded to a completely different pathway to happiness, fulfillment, and meaning in life. There is something else out there. We hear throughout history, philosophy, and literature the same themes regarding giving, which you’ll read about in the stories and science that fill the pages of this book:   Giving is the most satisfying thing you’ll ever do.   It’s the source of true happiness, the meaning of life, the source of the greatest emotional and psychological returns.   It’s the best way to recover from the worst tragedies, even from the grief of losing a loved one.   It’s a greater pleasure than the creation of wealth, the most direct route to happiness, which neither money nor career success can provide.   Giving is what liberates the soul. What brings families closer together. What combats the blues. What fills the gap. What provides a feeling of security. What provides a sense of empowerment and accomplishment. What can heal. What allows us to experience a deep connection with others. What gives inner peace. What brings great meaning, fulfillment, and happiness.   The answer lies in giving.   So why don’t more of us give? Every day a charity appeal says, “If only we all gave a dollar . . . if only everyone just gave the time they could, it would help millions of people.” But that doesn’t work.   Why not? Perhaps it is because we have not heard enough stories of how happy it can make us—stories from people we admire; from people we dream of meeting; from people whose businesses we follow, whose songs we listen to, whose movies we watch. I have had the privilege of meeting many of these people through my work—some of them are celebrities, some are well recognized for the good they have done in the world, and some are incredibly wealthy and successful in business. I’d heard their stories of how giving their time, resources, and talents to the causes they care about has brought them happiness and fulfillment far greater than they had ever imagined. It occurred to me that these stories must be told, as they hold the power to inspire others to do the same.

This book affirms that notion and I hope it inspires more people to widen their scope outside of the self. Ms. Santi's recognition of donor or compassion fatigue also resonates with me. It is a very real experience for anyone who has dedicated some measure of herself to others. However, the tirelessness of the dedicated people featured in this book reminds me of the immeasurable good that comes from taking action. Giving doesn't always feel good and giving certainly isn't immune to vilification, but stripped down to its basic humanity, giving is the most rewarding and constructive form of benevolence.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Philanthropy from a Different Point of View By Joseph A. Field Jenny Santi has written a truly remarkable book; not so much in the science it contains, but in the nature and scope of the stories she tells. Philanthropy and the act of giving are very human sentiments and going over the economics and psychology of giving is useful, but Jenny brings this all down to a very human scale. Real people talk about why they give and perhaps more importantly why they feel that they are themselves enriched by what they have done. Reading this book is almost a cleansing experience in that it tells us how and why people get involved in giving, but more importantly, it brings out the joy, satisfaction and happiness it brings to those who give.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Happiness Is Within Anyone's Reach By Christine C. Right on, Jenny Santi. Everyone wants to be happy, and this book gives you clear ways to get inspired and also understand that happiness can be within our reach all the time! I love the personal stories showing that giving can be at any scale. The discussion of the scientific/brain connection between your mind, happiness, and how you act in real life to connect all the dots is brilliant. As a yoga teacher, letting our hope for a happier life find real life legs is what it's all about. Thank you for writing this, Jenny!

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Something was wrong. Nearly everyone in the airport was naked.Melanie Ambrose glanced around and frowned before rounding on her boyfriend. Dang it, he had broken their deal. "You said you were done working! We're on vacation, Ian, as of midnight last night. Our flight to Mexico is in an hour." She flung a finger out to point at the group of men and women sitting bare-assed on the hard plastic chairs in O'Hare's Concourse B. "This looks like work."She shouldn't have trusted him to get to the airport on his own. She should have swung by his apartment and scooped him up, but it was out of the way and Ian hadn't wanted to stay at her place because he hated her bed. She'd agreed to arriving separate and now this. So annoying. Absolutely and utterly annoying. The whole reason their relationship was crumbling was because Ian worked all the time. She understood that his photography business was commercially successful beyond his wildest dreams, and that there were responsibilities and expectations, but this vacation was supposed to give him a much-needed rest. And her, a much-needed orgasm.He held up his hands and gave her an apologetic shrug. "Mel, baby, I couldn't resist. I've not shot at the airport before, and what a perfect opportunity to capture the shuffling of humanity. It's brilliant. And I owe the idea to you."She was not falling for that, or for his sexy New Zealand accent. "Whatever." She let go of the handle of her carry-on and looked down at her toes. The fifty dollars she'd just spent on a pedicure better not have been wasted. "We're not missing our flight," she told him flatly."Don't be so churlish," he reprimanded, pushing his glasses up. He looked past her, flagging someone down.She turned and noticed one man in a suit, looking absolutely out of place amongst all this exposed flesh. The poor guy was probably just trying to catch a business flight and had wandered into Art. In the form of breasts and butt cheeks.Melanie turned her attention back to Ian, giving him a glare. "It's nine in the morning! Our flight is supposed to leave at ten." She considered herself incredibly reasonable. She never complained about his schedule or questioned him about the company he kept. She respected his art, and as the PR rep for his company, Bainbridge Studios, she worked hard to make sure his climb up the ladder of success was smooth. But they'd been planning this trip for two months.Escaping Chicago in December for the beach was bliss enough, but she'd been looking forward to the opportunity to rekindle a bit of romance.Apparently, he wasn't in as much of a rush to drink wine and knock boots as she was. It was a bit deflating. A lot deflating."I'll find a later flight. You go ahead as planned. Hunter will go with you."Um. "Who the heck is Hunter?" Melanie's Southern accent was resurfacing as she became agitated. "And why on God's green earth would I want to fly to Mexico with him?""This is Hunter." Ian gestured behind her. "He's your new bodyguard."Melanie turned and saw the man in the suit standing a discreet distance behind them. He nodded briefly. She was officially confused."Ian, why do I need a bodyguard? You're the one being stalked." Some woman who had never even met Ian fancied herself in love with him and had been bothering him for over a year. At one point, Savannah the Stalker had been charged and Melanie had thought that would be the end of it, but a jury had found her not guilty and almost immediately she'd gone back to sending alternating love letters and threatening emails. "She doesn't even know about us. That's part of why we've kept our relationship on the down low."Another source of friction between them. It sucked having to pretend you were primarily your boyfriend's employee in public. She was over it.Looking uncomfortable, Ian bent closer to her. "It seems she's found out about you, because I got a disturbing email a few days ago. I didn't want to tell you and spoil the trip. But I don't think it's safe for you to be without some protection."Great. She was at risk of being attacked by a random crazy person. "You can protect me. Come with me."He frowned. "I have this shoot set up." He briefly touched her hand and kissed her forehead. "Go with Hunter. Go on. For me, so I don't have to worry about you.Melanie felt like a five-year-old being sent off to kindergarten against her will. There was no arguing with him. He wouldn't change his mind, not with a terminal full of nude volunteers. Sometimes she wondered if she were cut out for the role of Artist's Girlfriend, because the whole slave-to-the-muse thing got old really quickly. But it was flattering that he was worried about her safety. She sighed. "Call me when you board your flight. Have a good shoot.""Thanks, Mel. You're the best." He turned and left, going over to Sam, his assistant, and leaving Melanie standing there feeling incredibly defeated.But there was no sense crying over it. She turned and gave Hunter a smile. "Hi, I'm Melanie. Nice to meet you.""Hunter." He shook her hand. No smile.Which ticked her off a bit. Sure, he was on the job, but the man was going to Mexico to sit on his butt and watch her splay her body out on a beach towel. It was a cake job—she wasn't really in danger. That was total paranoia on Ian's part. Even if Savannah knew who she was, she wasn't likely to hop a plane to Cancun to track her down. That required cash and a passport, and the average stalker wasn't going to add international travel to their bag of harassing tricks. So why did Hunter look so sour?"This might be the most boring assignment you've ever had," she warned him as she retrieved the handle of her carry-on and started walking toward their gate."Possibly. But I've had a lot of less-than-exciting assignments."Excuse me? She shot him a sideways glance. He didn't look as if he was making a joke, which led her to the conclusion that he might simply be a jerk. A good-looking jerk, mind you, but a jerk nonetheless. What, as if it was her fault she wasn't a celebrity or a political figure surrounded by pushy paparazzi and people with agendas? She was just a PR rep from Kentucky. Who didn't need a bodyguard, plain and simple. Then again, the man was just doing his job, and she could respect that. "Well, I hope you packed your trunks, since we're going to Mexico. It's better than being stuck here, that's for sure.""I have to agree with you."She had a thought. "Do you have a gun on you? Is that legal?""I have a license to carry concealed, but no, I did not bring a gun.""Good." That was reassuring. She didn't want to be detained and body probed by TSA at any point on this trip. That was not the kind of probing she'd had in mind at all. "You do know this is all totally ridiculous, right? My boyfriend is being overly protective." Ian had never been like that in the past, but it was warming her girl bits now, she had to admit.Hunter gave her a look she couldn't decipher. Lord, the man was attractive. If she were single, she'd want a piece of that. He was the very definition of tall, dark and handsome. Smoking hot. Like fivealarm, sweet and spicy Texas barbecue hot. Finger-licking good.He must hit the gym every day, because the man had muscles that were no accident. He'd gotten those biceps by sweating, hard. Melanie began to perspire just picturing it, which was startling and completely inappropriate. She wasn't normally one who went for bulked-up manly men, but Hunter's physique paired with that suit was quite a winning combination. His jaw was strong, his eyes an intriguing shade of green. Not that fake contact-lens green you sometimes saw, but a true mossy shade, with flecks of gold.Yes, the man had been whacked with a sexy stick, and she could appreciate looking without wanting to touch.Too bad he had zero personality.And why did she care anyway? She had a boyfriend. A distracted, moody boyfriend, who had stuck her with this hunk of hotness for the next twelve-plus hours. It was nice to know Ian trusted her, she supposed. She wasn't sure she would have if their positions were reversed. But then again, he had no reason to be insecure. Melanie frequently worried that maybe she was more into Ian than he was into her. That was a thought she quickly banished, though."If you say so," Hunter told her.What was that supposed to mean?He glanced down at his phone, then gestured to their right. "This is our gate. Perfect timing. We're boarding.""Okay." She started to veer off in the direction of the restroom for a preflight potty break, but squawked when Hunter grabbed her arm and pulled her to a stop."Where are you going?" he asked.Melanie blinked up at him, giving a pointed glance down at his hand, still holding her arm. "To use the toilet," she said bluntly, hoping that would make him back off. It didn't."You can go on the plane," he told her."You think someone would buy a plane ticket to get past security just so they could assault me in the ladies' room?""I wouldn't rule it out.""Then you live in a sad little world," she told him. But she obediently got into the boarding line with him. Once Ian arrived in Cancun, there would be none of this nonsense. They were going to hole up in their hotel suite and bang like bunnies, Hunter nowhere in sight.She hoped anyway. Things hadn't been stellar in the bunny-banging department lately. Or any department, for that matter. It was worrisome. She wasn't ready to pack it in on her relationship with Ian, even if he was often distracted. Even if it had to be a secret. That would be like admitting defeat, and she didn't do defeat, even when she felt defeated.Fifteen minutes later she was settled in her seat next to her stony-faced bodyguard. A bodyguard. It made her feel pretentious and ridiculous. Not to mention somewhat like a prisoner. While she struggled to stuff her very large purse under the seat in front of her, Hunter sat and watched. She could feel his eyes on her as she heaved and hoed, her blond hair falling in her eyes. When she finally sat back up, he just silently handed her an envelope."What is this?" she asked, confused yet again."I don't know. I was told to give it to you once the cabin door closed."A wisp of fear slithered up her spine. That sounded sketchy, but she instantly dismissed the thought. The envelope was the kind that greeting cards came in. Maybe it was a romantic note from Ian, a gesture to make up for his complete failure to understand how important this vacation was to her.Turning her back slightly on Hunter so he couldn't read over her shoulder, she opened the envelope and pulled out a card. Not a pretty vellum paper card, but the cards they used at the office to send personal notes. It was one of Ian's mass nudes depicting a dozen people in a tree. Decidedly less promising. She recognized Ian's handwriting inside.Dear Melanie, I think we both know this isn't working. To delay the inevitable in Cancun doesn't make any sense. We've had a good run but it's time to move on, and consciously uncouple. Enjoy the beach, and I'll see you at work when you get back.Best, Ian Melanie read it three times, her heart racing as she tried to convince herself there was another meaning to it. But there wasn't. Ian was breaking up with her. On work stationery. After putting her on a plane with a bodyguard."Oh, my God," she said before she could stop herself. She grappled for her seat belt, unbuckling it. "I have to go." She couldn't sit here; she couldn't go to Mexico. She needed to get off this plane, away from all these people. She needed to breathe deeply somewhere in private, getting control of her emotions. After she tracked down Ian in Concourse B and asked him how he could be so damn insensitive as to dump her in a Dear Melanie letter.Then punched him in the no-nos.This couldn't be happening."What are you doing?" Hunter asked her. "We're about to take off. Put your seat belt back on.""I have to get off this plane," she insisted."Are you sick? Afraid of flying?"She shook her head, panicking, unable to speak. Ian had purposely waited until she was trapped on board so she couldn't even discuss it with him. It was mind-blowing and insulting and vomit inducing.Hunter's hand settled on the back of her neck, big and warm, gently urging her head forward toward the seat-back tray. "Breathe," he commanded. "Take a deep breath, nice and slow. You're okay."He had a deep voice, smooth. It commanded obedience, so she did as he said, sucking in a lungful of air and letting it back out through her nose."Again," he said.After a few breaths, she felt marginally better. And like a complete idiot. "I'm sorry."The plane was backing up off the tarmac and heading for the runway. She was going to Mexico whether she wanted to or not."Don't apologize. A lot of people are afraid of flying." His hand massaged the back of her neck. "Are you okay?"She nodded and sat up again, hoping he'd take his hand off her. While it felt good to have him kneading the knots out of her neck, she was acutely aware of how unfitting it was. He got the hint and dropped his hand. Bracing herself, she turned to look at him, still clutching the stupid note from Ian in her sweaty palm. Those green eyes were gazing at her calmly, and with concern. Maybe Hunter wasn't such a jerk after all."What did Ian tell you?" she asked. She needed to know if Hunter had been aware of Ian's plan, so she would know if she needed to die of humiliation or not."About this trip?""That he has a stalker and you're in danger. I got the file on her so I know what she looks like. You don't need to worry.""I'm not worried about Savannah." She wasn't. Savannah would be where Ian was, not where Melanie was. "I think you coming with me is pointless. No offense."The corner of his mouth turned up. "None taken. But I've been hired to do a job, whether you think it's necessary or not.""Ian's not coming," she told him flatly. There was no way to cover it up. If he didn't know now, he'd figure it out by nightfall.But there was no reaction. Just a blank stare. "Was he supposed to come with you? I was under the impression you were taking the trip solo for R & R."Excellent. Wonderful. This was officially the vacation from hell. And the ironic thing? She had paid for it. She had put the whole goddamn tab on her credit card as a grand gesture to let Ian know she valued him and their relationship. Even though he was a millionaire and she made thirty grand a year, she had taken on the bill. For love.Now she was going on vacation with a total stranger who was witness to Ian consciously uncoupling them.

Sexy Romp With Too Much Neurotic Exposition By Kristina Cute rebound story, but got repetitive real fast.DEEP FOCUS starts off with a somewhat hackneyed event of having Melanie's perfect-on-paper boyfriend dump her callously in a note as she flies off to Mexico. Hunter, as her assigned bodyguard (which strains credulity), is the one who hands her the aforementioned note. Hunter is forced into the awkward position of comforting the distraught Melanie, a role that is all too familiar to the ex-military guy who has a small problem with communication. Despite the circumstances, they find each other incredibly attracted to each other and presented with an opportunity to have a no-strings-attached vacation fling.This is really classic McCarthy. There's some steamy sex, some laughs, and realistic characterization. It was a relief to read about an ex-military man who did NOT have a raging case of PTSD and deep emotional trauma. Melanie is a control freak of sorts and all sorts of uptight, but McCarthy manages to make her likeable in her self-awareness and willingness to change.Here's where things went a bit awry for me. Both characters are positioned in such a way that they have problems taking risks and talking about their feelings ... and that point is repeated over and over again in numerous different ways. The constant exposition of their fears and risk-aversion removed nearly all of the poignancy. It became filler, which isn't a good thing.But .. McCarthy always delivers a good time. If you skim over the exposition, you won't be disappointed.

He also assigns bodyguard Hunter Ryan to accompany Melanie on her vacation flight and on Cancun.Awaiting Melanie in Cancun is a Dear Jane letter from Ian. She fumes that he not only dumped her long distance, but lacked the guts to tell her to her face. Melanie also realizes that her room contains one bed that she planned to use for multiple orgasms with Ian; and Hunter the hunk has no room with none available. Thus Melly invites him into her bed.The latest From Every Angle heated contemporary (see Close Up and Double Exposure) is a pleasant rebound romance headed (pun intended) by leads who adapt too easily to their situation. Still this is an entertaining blithe affair until love threatens to nuke the carefree relationship.Harriet Klausner

Truquerio.- Un personaje encerrado en las dictaduras de Chile y Bolivia Víctor P. nos ofrece una obra enmarcada en la ficción histórica. Se trata del primer tomo de una trilogía que, “se inicia en Santa Cruz y desde ahí se embarca en una serie de pruebas y acontecimientos que permiten al viajero descubrir la búsqueda de su identidad. En esa travesía, Truquerio se ve en los momentos más abrumadores de su vida. Mientras transita en esas pruebas que lo conducen a entender su travesía, llega al mundo del conocimiento, más tarde se encuentra en el valle de la ignorancia, asombro y, finalmente, la nada absoluta”, asegura el autor. ‘Truquerio’ es una obra que se desarrolla en el corazón de Bolivia y Chile; allí se encadenan los más temibles momentos de las dictaduras de los años setenta y ochenta. Páginas inspiradas en “la historia de mi madre: activista y política. Comencé a escribir una tesis que abarcó importantes acontecimientos históricos en Chile sobre las negociaciones con el ex-presidente Allende y más tarde con Pinochet. Carmen y un grupo de mujeres movilizaron a más de diez mil personas a la capital de Santiago para demandar la ley 17.713. Esta tesis me permitió desarrollar este manuscrito”, relata Víctor P. Por ello, apostilla Víctor, “la obra está dividida en 7 travesías, donde Truquerio pasa por cada una de ellas. En esas travesías el protagonista vive las dictaduras en Chile y Bolivia. Desde ahí, el personaje trata de vivir su vida a pesar de las dificultades que encuentra en el camino y la vida de sus amigos que lo ayudan de alguna forma a continuar. En la novela doy a conocer un proceso de transformación individual hasta llegar a la nada absoluta”.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Muy buena lectura By Khosro Raúl Soleimani Me ha gustado mucho la lectura de Truquerio. Lo que más me ha gustado es la claridad y la simplicidad del lenguaje. Aunque hay ciertos modismos chilenos (que se emplean para añadir humor a la novela), el lenguaje es bastante comprensible. Es el tipo de lectura que la hago para relajarme.Truquerio es la historia de un tucán y su evolución espiritual. Dentro de la narrativa principal, los lectores podemos hallar las historias de otros personajes interesantes, como el dueño de Truquerio, Franco. La novela se basa en gran parte en las dictaduras que sucedieron en el cono sur durante la década de los setenta. Hay un tono trágico dentro de la novela, ya que lo que vivieron los personajes de esa época fue trágico, pero siempre hay un poco de humor para contrarrestar los eventos trágicos.El sufrimiento y el aspecto humano se nota mucho en la novela. Esta parte viene de la traducción al inglés:"-Franco, I can't pretend anymore and I do not want to keep pretending that nothing has happened... Each time I return to the house the pain reappears and I cannot contain the sadness whenever I visit my son's room. Those pains weigh on my chest, fill me with agony and just thinking that I will not see him ever again kills me, depresses and overwhelms me, and saddens me so much that there are moments when I cannot walk. I can't walk. I'm sorry. I can't carry on anymore... "Es la primera novela de este autor, y la recomiendo a todas las personas que busquen entender la realidad de las dictaduras. Es también una novela de evolución espiritual.
