"Why Is God Laughing?" tells the story of successful comedian Mickey Fellows and his friend Francisco as they explore how to overcome fear, egotism and addiction (which are the three major obstacles to joy) and become more optimistic. The final chapter highlights how to conquer these obstacles in our own lives and open the door to real joy and happiness. It spells out the lessons that Mickey`s story tells us: ten reasons to be optimistic, even in a challenging world. Rich with humour and practical advice, "Why Is God Laughing?" shows us there is always a reason to be grateful, that every possibility holds the promise of abundance, and that obstacles are simply opportunities in disguise.

Men and women are different, we all know that, but if our genes have stood still then social changes have not. Overworked, stressed-out and time-poor, we can barely keep up with the frenzied pace of our lives - and our relationships are breaking down as a result. John Gray, the bestselling relationships author of all time, has written a definitive manual to help men and women thrive together in the 21st century. He shows how we can use everyday pressures to build greater intimacy with our loved ones and strengthen our relationships to make them last. Written with insight, empathy and humor, "Why Mars and Venus Collide" proves why John Gray remains the greatest living authority on how men and women relate.

HOME SELLING PARTIES ARE ON THE RISE. Internet shopping is finally taking off. And much of what people are buying are things they don\'t really need. Or do they?

Today’s software sucks. There’s no other good way to say it. It’s unsafe, allowing criminal programs to creep through the Internet wires into our very bedrooms. It’s unreliable, crashing when we need it most, wiping out hours or days of work with no way to get it back. And it’s hard to use, requiring large amounts of head-banging to figure out the simplest operations. It’s no secret that software sucks. You know that from personal experience, whether you use computers for work or personal tasks. In this book, programming insider David Platt explains why that’s the case and, more importantly, why it doesn’t have to be that way. And he explains it in plain, jargon-free English that’s a joy to read, using real-world...
