Thoughts I've thought over the years and never dared to speak aloud, too afraid of what others might think. Not all thoughts are pretty and endearing so here is a collection of inner darkness, a soul plagued with demons.

And sometimes each of us needs a little stardust and fireflies. What these are and mean to you, however, depends on each and every one of us. We do not have to discover the magic of life. Everybody carries it within himself in his very own way. In words, images, thoughts... But sometimes we forget this magic, the glow that we carry within us. Self-discovery is a never-ending journey and this is exactly what this book is about, stories of my naked thoughts.

In dem Kopf eines introvertierten, träumerischen und an sich selbst zweifelnden Menschen, kann viel passieren. In ihm kommen Dinge zusammen, Gefühle und Gedanken, die er nicht laut ausspricht, sondern in Form von Gedichten auf Papier bringt um damit umzugehen. Gedanken über Liebe, Traurigkeit, Freude, Schönheit, Fiktion und Selbstzweifel, in denen sich der ein oder andere vielleicht widerfindet. Und alle anderen sehen zumindest, wie es in diesem Menschen wirklich aussieht.

A New York Times bestseller! A pioneering and timely study of how to navigate life's biggest transitions with meaning, purpose, and skill Bruce Feiler, author of the New York Times bestsellers The Secrets of Happy Families and Council of Dads, has long explored the stories that give our lives meaning. Galvanized by a personal crisis, he spent the last few years crisscrossing the country, collecting hundreds of life stories in all fifty states from Americans who’d been through major life changes—from losing jobs to losing loved ones; from changing careers to changing relationships; from getting sober to getting healthy to simply looking for a fresh start. He then spent a year coding these stories, identifying patterns and takeaways that can help all of us survive and thrive in times of change. What Feiler discovered was a world in which transitions are becoming more plentiful and mastering the skills to manage them is more urgent for all of us. The idea that we’ll have one job, one relationship, one source of happiness is hopelessly outdated. We all feel unnerved by this upheaval. We’re concerned that our lives are not what we expected, that we’ve veered off course, living life out of order. But we’re not alone. Life Is in the Transitions introduces the fresh, illuminating vision of the nonlinear life, in which each of us faces dozens of disruptors. One in ten of those becomes what Feiler calls a lifequake, a massive change that leads to a life transition. The average length of these transitions is five years. The upshot: We all spend half our lives in this unsettled state. You or someone you know is going through one now. The most exciting thing Feiler identified is a powerful new tool kit for navigating these pivotal times. Drawing on his extraordinary trove of insights, he lays out specific strategies each of us can use to reimagine and rebuild our lives, often stronger than before. From a master storyteller with an essential message, Life Is in the Transitions can move readers of any age to think deeply about times of change and how to transform them into periods of creativity and growth.

From the authors who created the One Word movement, impacting schools, businesses, and sports teams around the world, comes a charming fable that can be read and shared by everyone. If you could choose only one word to help you have your best year ever, what would it be? Love? Fun? Believe? Brave? It’s prob­ably different for everyone.

This engaging, fully illustrated fable follows Stevie, a young boy falling asleep on the first day of school.

His search helps him discover a lot about himself, what he loves, and what is important to him. An easy read with a powerful message, One Word for Kids appeals to readers of all ages and is an ideal entry point into discussing a valuable lesson in a fun and engaging way.

"Kitabat" is Arabic for writings. Picking a name for a book is definitely more challenging than I thought it would be. You have to look into having the name resonate with its contents, make it catchy and a bit dramatic for that whiff of pizzazz, and (most importantly) it HAS to contain a part of you within its spirit. The name Kitabat simply checked these boxes for me. Because, at the end of the day, this book is just that: a bunch of my writings. A bunch of Kitabat.
