The Sky Worshipers by F. M. Deemyad (Book Review #925)
The sky worshipers is a military fiction story setting us back to Genghis Khan, the Mongol leader whose ambition was to take over the world. The story takes you on an honest, historically correct endeavor revealing the life of the conquerors and women’s voice yet unknown in Europe. The in-depth novel represents the 13th center world, and his unforgettable story of the survival of women would have been. The narrative is told through the eyes of three princesses and truly embarks on a story worth reading.
Read MoreHouse on Fire: How to Prevent Conflict and “Arsonist” Behaviors from Burning Down Your Company by Thomas Brown (Book Review #952)
House on fire is a well-written guidebook for those in management at executive and board levels, and it teachers them how to disparage conflict and prevent it from happening.
The literature is written well and is helpful for anyone, not just business owners. It is filled with self-assessments and presented with methodologies that actually work. The book is perfect for business planning, conflict resolution, and mediation strategies. This should also be a stepping stone for someone who wants to start a business.
In this book, Thomas aims to present a compelling case for stopping what he calls the “arsonist personalities” in senior management and on the board.
Since the author is the founder and CEO of his own company and successfully manages boards of directors, inventors, and executives, his knowledge is definitely worth having. He knows what he is talking about with a highly well-educated background.
I think what stood out for me was how organized everything was laid out. It was well planned, illustrated, and taught. The writing style was educational and possessed a colloquial tone to it.
I recommend this book to anyone who into strategic business planning.

Our Absurd Ability to Believe Fictional Stories and What That Means for Our Lives
We can believe a made-up story. A story about a spider-man, a wizard school where kids fly on broomsticks or even a team of ghostbusters.
We can feel the emotions evoked by the story as if it really happened. We all know the sinking feeling when a character we love dies or the adrenaline of an action scene. Books, or rather stories of any form, do something physically to our bodies and minds.

Think about what your brain is doing. It is completely ignoring the plausibility of the story, ignoring many factual inconsistencies, and choosing to believe wholeheartedly every character, setting or statement within the story. Of course, when the story is over, we come back to reality and remember that none of it was real. It felt real and it remains in our mind like a real experience. What if we never came back to reality?
What is stopping us from doing that in our actual life too? What stories are we telling ourselves? Where are we suspending our disbelief and ignoring facts? We need to lose the book and turn off the tv, meaning stop believing the story we are telling ourselves is true and give our brain a chance to question things. How exactly does the web come out of his wrist? The venom somehow gave him superpowers… How do you make a broomstick fly? These ‘ghostbusters’ made a machine that ‘busts’ ghosts… How does that work?

Remember that you can do the same thing with the story you repeat about why you cannot do whatever it is you wish you could. Believe in the good stories, the ones that you enjoy, that add value to your life, and remove the ones that are ruining your life by questioning them with scepticism. Write a new story for your life!

A Playlist for the Plot of Shockadelica by Jon O’Berg
My novel Shockadelica is intimately tied to music. The title comes from a Prince song. One of the characters is a musician, whose album is actually available. A traditional Irish tune plays a key role in the story’s climax. So it seemed natural to create a playlist that reflects these multi-varied influences.
