Harding’s Luck
Harding’s Luck, published in 1909, is the sequel to The House of Arden by E. Nesbit.

White Debt
When Thomas Harding discovered that his mother's family had made money from plantations worked by enslaved people, what began as an interrogation into the choices of his ancestors soon became a quest to learn more about Britain's role in slavery.

It started on a small sugar plantation called 'Success' and grew to become ...

Summary of Douglas Harding's Head Off Stress
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The secret of the stress-free life is the simplest of all experiences: simple to point out, simple to get, simple to share, and simple to renew. You must observe three rules: The first is that you carry out the tests. If you just read about them, nothing will happen and you will be wasting your time. The second is that you go by what you find. #2 Everything on Earth is stressed. If you were no thing, you would be stress-free. Conversely, if you were all things, you would be stress-free. And if by great good luck you were both no thing and all things, you would be stress-free. #3 Your appearance to others is that you are solid, opaque, colored, and shaped. But when you look at yourself from a distance, you see that you are actually a blob in the landscape. This is the most accurate view of you. #4 You are the perfect union of stress-free exclusiveness and stress-free inclusiveness. You can see that there is nothing inside you, and that you have nothing of your own to be stressed about.
