The stock market crash came in October 1929, and America slid into deep depression. Against a background of bank failures, industrial decline, rural poverty, and unemployment, there was an outbreak of protests, strikes, and riots. Hoover was swept from power in 1932, and it fell to the new President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, to revive America's fortunes with a number of ground-breaking new programs which made up the New Deal. Dark Realities covers this period in America's history. The book introduces the key figures of this time period and reveals the impact that the Great Depression had on the American people.

In this book, the reader would almost live the ebb and flow moments of the author’s entrepreneurial journey– the things that changed course for him and his experiences gained from working in multiple and strikingly different industries of technology, media, and real estate. It gives brilliant insights into human behavior and how to deal with situations in building your business as an entrepreneur. From being a teenage part-time graphic designer in the late 1990s to having been an amateur entrepreneur who failed amid the dot-com bubble burst and later, being associated with big tech companies like Google to be ultimately destined to get into real estate development– He has seen it all. His ventures have now been consciously diversified further into co-working spaces and funding technology startups in 2020. The journey moves over the 2 decades as a roller coaster ride with twists and turns, shedding light on the dark realities of entrepreneurship that are often left out when talking about running a business. It propagates that being an entrepreneur may sound glamorous, but being entrepreneurial isn’t. This book is for anyone who wants to know how to be successful in being an employee or how to build your own business in these tough times.

In Buddhism and American Thinkers, leading scholars explore Buddhist influences on the currents of American thought. The essays presented here advance a continuing dialogue between East and West and show how Buddhism has made ever-deepening penetrations into the very substratum of American thinking. Contributors to this volume share a concern with ideas that constitute a common core of Buddhist and American philosophy. Each relates Buddhism to a factor in American thinking, exploring the numerous ways in which Buddhist perspectives on personal identity, human suffering, and alienation, the nature of compassionate love, and the social nature of ultimate reality amplify and clarify perspectives found in the "golden age" of American philosophy, particularly in the thought of William James, Josiah Royce, Alfred North Whitehead, John Dewey, Charles Sanders Peirce, and Charles Hartshorne, the great living American philosopher. Buddhism and American Thinkers brings new light to the interrelationship between an ancient orientation to life and the very deepest ideas in the history of American thought.
