It’s great for artists, designers, and makers (especially if you struggle to articulate the value of what you do) but it’s also perfect for anyone who wants to make small tweaks to their home, office, or life to help them be happier. I don’t want to give two much away, because I really just want to encourage everyone to go read this book. While I found this book housed in the psychology section at the bookstore (and while the premise does make it seem like it’s a book about happiness), in reality, it’s a book about the powers of art, design, and our constructed environment to impact how we feel. And after chatting with Amber about the book, I knew I needed to bump it to the top of my must read list. A few weeks ago, I noticed my friend Amber posting excerpts from a book called Joyful, by Ingrid Fetell Lee, on Instagram, and it immediately sparked my interest.

Apartheid made South Africa a polecat among nations, and by the end of the National Party's reign South Africa was a pariah state even among countries that were hardly squeamish about getting their hands dirty with the more nefarious elements of statecraft. South Africa's intelligence services after 1948 had more reason than most to keep their stories silent. These are the barriers inherent in writing the history of intelligence agencies. It is even more difficult to write histories of people whose job it was to keep their stories hidden, to misdirect observers to believe that the story is something else, and to keep those stories quiet by any necessary means, including enforcing silence by killing.

Milton Friedman ( / ˈ f r iː d m ən/ ( listen) J– November 16, 2006) was an American economist and statistician who received the 1976 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for his research on consumption analysis, monetary history and theory and the complexity of stabilization policy.

For several months, the Prince and the other nobles continue to live happily inside the abbey, while people continue to die from the Red Death outside. There is sufficient food and drink for the Prince's guest and musicians, dancers, actors and clowns to entertain them.

Half of Prince Prospero's subjects have died from the disease but the Prince, a man of unusual tastes whom some believe to be mad, is unconcerned. Those who are infected bleed profusely form their skin, especially their faces, before they die. The Red Death is the name of an infectious disease which cuases people to die within thirty minutes. |
