I can’t stress enough how this single book has helped me in my own self-healing journey. It’s not only a must-read for those who have struggled with mental health issues themselves, but also for everyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of the topic. The book is full of useful insights and comes with the powerful personal history of Haig’s battle with depression and anxiety. To that end, I highly recommend Matt Haig’s “Reasons to Stay Alive” to all, regardless of whether you are currently going through any psychological or life challenges. ![]() Rather than discussing problems with others, I mostly prefer reading books related to the issue and developing an understanding of the problem. Books can be a great resource for finding strategies and tips to cope with these problems. It is normal to have these feelings, but having knowledge about the illness can be helpful in dealing with it. Everyone experiences periods of depression and anxiety at some point in their life. ![]() ![]() ![]() In this book, the winner, the author has reconstructed the life of Jan van Brederode, a little-known nobleman of the late 14 th century who died at Agincourt.

Beginning with Albers\s time at the Bauhaus in Weimar and Dessau, the publication follows the artist to America and describes major themes of his work there as well as the importance of his frequent travels to Mexico. Paintings, prints, furniture, household objects, works in glass, photographs, and pre-Columbian sculptures are beautifully reproduced and discussed by a team of experts. This generously illustrated overview of Albers’s work, accompanying the first major exhibition on the artist in more than thirty years, features all aspects of his long, creative career. Josef Albers (1888–1976) was one of the leading pioneers of 20th-century modernism: he was an extraordinary teacher, writer, painter, and color theorist, who is best known for the Homages to the Square (painted 1950–76) and The Interaction of Color, published by Yale University Press in 1963. ![]() ![]() Meanwhile, the divided East and West refuse to parley, and forces of chaos are rising from their sleep.

Readers new to the author will be enthralled, and those familiar with the first book will find that the faith it inspired has not been misplaced. Breq's struggle for meaningful justice in a society designed to favor the strong is as engaging as ever. As Breq methodically analyzes the intertwined networks of privilege, incompetence, corruption and spiteful cruelty, she learns that not all outrages can be punished and justice is often denied to those who most deserve it. Subjugated by the aggressively expansionist empire six centuries before, Athoek should be an exemplary world of peace, wealth, and concord, but what Breq finds is a world where the Radch precepts of "justice, propriety, and benefit" have been twisted to justify negligence, outright exploitation, and willful ignorance by those charged with enforcing the law. ![]() As news that open civil war has broken out slowly percolates through the crumbling networks of Radchaai space, Fleet Captain Breq Mianaai arrives at Athoek. Leckie's powerful sequel to Ancillary Justice is a touch less ambitious in structure, but every bit as incisive. ![]() |
