Ich ziehe für mein Studium in eine andere Stadt, komme in eine neue Umgebung, bin weit weg von meiner Familie und meinen alten Bekannten. Alles ist neu. Ich lerne jemanden kennen und ohne es zu merken verliebe ich mich. Für andere ist es vielleicht eine gewöhnliche Liebesgeschichte, doch für mich veränderte meine Zeit in Paris mein ganzes Leben.
John C. Maxwell, #1 New York Times bestselling author, helps readers take the first steps to living a life that matters inIntentional Living. We all have a longing to be significant. We want to make a contribution, to be a part of something noble and purposeful. But many people wrongly believe significance is unattainable. They worry that it's too big for them to achieve. That they have to have an amazing idea, be a certain age, have a lot of money, or be powerful or famous to make a real difference. The good news is that none of those things is necessary for you to achieve significance and create a lasting legacy. The only thing you need to achieve significance is to be intentional. And to do that, all you need to do is start. You can't make an impact sitting still and doing nothing. Every major accomplishment that's ever been achieved started with a first step. Sometimes it's hard; other times it's easy, but no matter what, you have to do it if you want to get anywhere in life. In Intentional Living, John Maxwell will help you take that first step, and the ones that follow, on your personal path through a life that matters.
This collection of poems is a portal to a secret world. A world that cannot be seen with the naked eye. It is hidden in the ordinary moments of our daily lives. A world beyond ordinary colours. Can you see it too? All the photos in this book were taken by my friend and street photographer Prateek Soni in and around Vienna. Check out more of his amazing work on Instagram and soon on his website, which I hope he will finally make one day.

This book is dedicated to the strange times in life. Sometimes you just need to let the world know of the stories and ideas that haunt your thoughts until you write them down. I'm not shy to write about my own experiences or to tell stories without a happy ending. Some stories have to have bad endings to highlight the moral of a story.
In 2010, the last Javan Rhino in Vietnam was poached for its horn, leading to the tragic extinction of this subspecies. Today, only a small population of Javan Rhinos remains in Ujung Kulon National Park in Java, Indonesia. Despite having no scientifically proven medical properties, rhino horns are falsely promoted as cures for various ailments, including cancer, in traditional medicine. This misinformation fuels high demand for rhino horns in Vietnam, as well as other illegal wildlife products like pangolin scales and tiger bones. In addition to poaching, habitat loss due to agricultural expansion also contributes to the decline of this species. This story is told from the perspective of Vietnam's last Javan Rhino, revealing the dangers it faced and its struggle against the merciless poachers.

Will you ever be able to find out who lives inside your house of thoughts? Do you claim to be alive by the criteria of existence or do you merely breathe? Reframe of Mind: Ennui opens doors to discourses on the perception of reality, the idea of interweaving threads of life and, primarily, the myriad thalassic layers of the ocean of our very own consciousness. This "true" version of the original work not only includes an extra chapter, but also features a completely revamped story that adds depth and intrigue. Additionally, readers will be delighted to find vibrantly designed coloured pages interspersed between each chapter.
