How Not To Be a Boy
RULES FOR BEING A MAN Don't Cry; Love Sport; Play Rough; Drink Beer; Don't Talk About Feelings But Robert Webb has been wondering for some time now: are those rules actually any use? To anyone? Looking back over his life, from schoolboy crushes (on girls and boys) to discovering the power of making people laugh (in the Cambridge Footlights with David Mitchell), and from losing his beloved mother to becoming a husband and father, Robert Webb considers the absurd expectations boys and men have thrust upon them at every stage of life. Hilarious and heartbreaking, How Not To Be a Boy explores the relationships that made Robert who he is as a man, the lessons we learn as sons and daughters, and the understanding that sometimes you aren't the Luke Skywalker of your life - you're actually Darth Vader.
The Laws of Human Nature
WINNER OF THE INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS BOOK AWARD 2019 From the million-copy bestselling author of The 48 Laws of Power Robert Greene is a master guide for millions of readers, distilling ancient wisdom and philosophy into essential texts for seekers of power, understanding and mastery. Now he turns to the most important subject of all - understanding people's drives and motivations, even when they are unconscious of them themselves. We are social animals. Our very lives depend on our relationships with people. Knowing why people do what they do is the most important tool we can possess, without which our other talents can only take us so far. Drawing from the ideas and examples of Pericles, Queen Elizabeth I, Martin Luther King Jr, and many others, Greene teaches us how to detach ourselves from our own emotions and master self-control, how to develop the empathy that leads to insight, how to look behind people's masks, and how to resist conformity to develop your singular sense of purpose. Whether at work, in relationships, or in shaping the world around you, The Laws of Human Nature offers brilliant tactics for success, self-improvement, and self-defence.
Robert Falconer
In 'Robert Falconer', George MacDonald weaves a powerful tale of a young man's spiritual journey to find meaning and purpose in life. After the death of his parents, Robert is taken in by his strict grandmother, whose harsh religious practices challenge his beliefs. He embarks on a quest to find God and reconcile his own ideas of compassion and love with his grandmother's rigid Christianity. Along the way, he meets various characters who offer him guidance and insight, including a blind woman who shows him the beauty in simplicity. MacDonald's masterful prose captures the essence of the human experience, as Robert navigates the challenges of faith and self-discovery, and ultimately finds his own path to enlightenment.
Cancer: a Love Story
Dave Faber and Robert McGehee were meant to be together: Less than two years after their first date, they were married. They ate out together, went to movies, and did everything else a loving couple does. They even decided to train together for the Houston Marathon in 2006. Like every couple, they expected to face hard times, but neither was prepared for Roberts diagnosis of esophageal cancer. But just like everything else, this was a fight they would wage together. After learning what he was up against, Robert suggested to Dave that he keep friends and family informed about their battle against the disease. This account draws on that correspondence and includes intimate details of their battle that may have otherwise been lost. Dave stands by Roberts side through surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and physical therapy. Throughout his illness, their intimacy and love for each other grows. Whether youre suffering from a serious disease or illness or caring for someone who is, Dave and Roberts love story and spiritual journey will inspire you to keep your faith in each other and in the world around you even through the most difficult times.
