Our happiness, as also our unhappiness, comes from own volition and reactions – constantly liking this, disliking that; wanting this, not wanting that – without realizing that our reactions are impermanent, transitory phenomena. If you’ve ever been in the pursuit of happiness, or want to know more about that elusive and mysterious state of being, here’s the perfect book. With writing from some of the greatest spiritual thinkers in our country, Golden Cloud, Silver Lining is full of wisdom, insight and gentle guidance to those seeking a life of happiness but who simply don’t know where to look for it. Stalwarts such as The Dalai Lama, Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, The Karmapa, The Kenting Tai Situpa, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Robert Holden, Rohini Singh, Khushwant Singh and Shobhaa Dé reveal their personal thoughts and unique views on the secret to true happiness, and in turn, a long and peaceful life. Whether it be dealing with stress and environmental factors or relationships and emotions we can’t seem to control, there is a simple, spiritual truth from a master to help you see the light. Is happiness something we even need to seek? Will it elude us the more we chase its golden glow? Beautifully written and curated, this collection of essays from some exceptional thinkers is great food for thought and a definite pointer in the right direction to a more fulfilled, happy and present way of being.

In this extensive history of U.S. monetary policy, Richard H. Timberlake chronicles the intellectual, political, and economic developments that prompted the use of central banking institutions to regulate the monetary systems. After describing the constitutional principles that the Founding Fathers laid down to prevent state and federal governments from printing money. Timberlake shows how the First and Second Banks of the United States gradually assumed the central banking powers that were originally denied them. Drawing on congressional debates, government documents, and other primary sources, he analyses the origins and constitutionality of the greenbacks and examines the evolution of clearinghouse associations as private lenders of last resort. He completes this history with a study of the legislation that fundamentally changed the power and scope of the Federal Reserve System—the Banking Act of 1935 and the Monetary Control Act of 1980. Writing in nontechnical language, Timberlake demystifies two centuries of monetary policy. He concludes that central banking has been largely a series of politically inspired government-serving actions that have burdened the private economy.

The book portrays his excitement as he trod his beloved hills at first in summer and then in winter snow, and his joy at the beauty of nature.

And here I thought saving one realm was enough to fill up my to-do list. Following the revelation that the antagonists were after the location of all of Book's genies, my friends and I knew our Wonderland road trip was far from over. With the magic fluctuation event known as the Vicennalia Aurora days away, antagonists and magic hunters hot on our tail, and my treacherous brother Alex and I in competition to claim Excalibur, matters were becoming larger-than-life very quickly. I was one of those matters. My Pure Magic powers of life were growing incomparably strong. As I discovered the extent of my abilities, I was being tempted by the corruption that came with them. But how could I stop? Camelot's terrain was unlike anything we'd ever encountered. From evil kings to bloodlusting Bluebeards to the Questor Beast, I needed my magic now more than ever. This world and so many others depended on me. And yet, as my friends and I ran against the clock, our enemies, and the prophecies of the future that pursued us like hungry shadows, I'd come to learn one thing with absolute certainty. One thing that I would keep learning again and again. In a world where my beliefs about goodness and morality were being tested, and my soul was at stake, it was not my abilities of life that were my most valuable strength; it was my friends. They were my greatest source of magic.
