Nothing Changes Until You Do
After three years of living his dream as a professional baseball pitcher, Mike Robbins had an arm injury that benched him for good, and when this happened, everything changed. He had to figure out who he was without the identity of "baseball player"—a process fraught with emotional highs and lows—and he quickly realized that the self-criticism and self-doubt he was feeling are in fact epidemic in our culture. Too often we base our value on our external world—our jobs, finances, appearance, or various other factors. Even the most successful people struggle with their relationship with themselves. In Nothing Changes Until You Do, Mike looks at this delicate relationship and brings to lig...

Such Little Accident
"When the people shall have nothing more to eat," said Rousseau, "they will eat the rich." But the rich are rather good at getting the poor to eat each other instead. In this provocative novella-length essay, Mike Robbins looks at how the British electoral system, social media, bullying by business, and a growing gap between rich and poor have led to deep fissures in British society. These have been exploited by those with an agenda of their own. As a result, democracy is now fragile. To repair it, we must look hard at the way information cycles through our society, and how our opinions are formed.

Summary of Mike Robbins' Nothing Changes Until You Do
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 We get so distracted because we’re so busy and overcommitted. We can choose how much we engage in electronic communication, and how much stuff we cram into our daily lives. This distracts us from what’s most important and keeps us from feeling our true emotions. #2 Focus on what’s most important to you and your life, and let go of the things that are distractions. It may be difficult to do, but it will have a positive impact on your life and those around you. #3 My mom’s final months were full of joy, and she taught me and everyone around her the importance of surrendering to life and death. She died happy, and I’m sure that’s what she wanted.
The Nine Horizons
In 1987 Mike Robbins, a young journalist in London, felt restless and decided to travel. He never really stopped. In the quarter century that followed he lived and worked in countries as diverse as the world itself. The pieces in this book take the reader from rural Sudan to the headwaters of the Amazon, from Semana Santa in Quito to Buddhist temples in the Himalayas, across Bhutan on a motorbike, into the ancient souk of Aleppo, to the steppes of Central Asia and finally to New York. Along the way there is Ethiopian gin, a sex tourist in Moscow, Kyrgyz women in cycling pants, a surreal toilet in Brussels, echoes of slavery in Brazil, and an encounter with Helen of Troy in Third Avenue. The Nine Horizons is an anarchic snapshot of a troubled but beautiful world in transition.
