Extended Description of "The Psychology of Money"
"The Psychology of Money" by Morgan Housel is a convincing assessment of the profoundly human parts of financial decision- making. Dissimilar to conventional money books that emphasis on specialized systems, venture tips, or growing long term financial stability equations, Housel's work digs into the mental and close to home factors that impact how we approach cash. Through a progression of 20 short, keen parts, Housel winds around together an embroidery of stories, verifiable models, and conducts exploration to uncover how our mentalities, ways of behaving, and insights shape our monetary lives.

Speak My Heart’s Name
The sun hung low in the sky, casting a golden glow across the sleepy town of Riverton. It was a place where time seemed to slow, the days stretched lazily, and the air was thick with the scent of blooming wildflowers. In this quiet corner of the world, Ethan spent the summer with his family, a ritual as predictable as the seasons themselves.

Book Review: "Means of Control: How the Hidden Alliance of Tech and Government Is Creating a New American Surveillance State"
Byron Tau’s "Means of Control: How the Hidden Alliance of Tech and Government Is Creating a New American Surveillance State" yanks back the curtain on a surveillance machine so vast and pervasive it makes the wiretaps of past scandals look quaint. This is not a hypothetical future but a present reality, unfolding in our everyday lives.

Terry Southern’s “Now Dig This: The Unspeakable Writings of Terry Southern (1950 – 1995)”
Another book review… Yeah, I know. You would prefer it if I wrote one of my smart-ass poems, or finally finished that multi-chapter piece that could possibly be a very interesting book or made-for-public-domain movie. You may even like my stories and other essays. But here’s the thing: I am on the last day of my volunteer service with a film festival, the heat warning we have received is still on (that threat of thunder, lightning and much-needed rain seems like a cruel joke), and I have very little time to tell you all about the reading companion I have taken with me as I worked too often for free in the steam and humidity of my adopted city.

Rachel Reviews: A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains by Isabella L. Bird
I would urge all young women (and men) to read this book, as Isabella is a remarkable woman and this is a remarkable book. The book is made up of a collection of letters written by Isabella to her sister, chronicling her time travelling around the Rocky Mountains. This may not seem overly intrepid, until you realise that this was written in the 1800s and Isabella was embarking on this adventure solely, her only consistent companion a horse called Birdie, who serves her exceptionally well in extreme conditions.
