Многим, наверное, знаком афоризм Козьмы Пруткова Если хочешь быть счастливым, будь им. Возможно, это звучит обманчиво просто мол, стоит только захотеть - и птица счастья в ваших руках. И поначалу может показаться, что автор над вами слегка подшучивает. Но вдумавшись, вы можете прийти к выводу, что в афоризме заложен серьезный смысл. Именно так воспринимает его Леона Соколова - автор книги Руководство к благополучию (Wellness Manual). Она прекрасно осознает некую двойственность, заложенную в словах Пруткова С одной стороны, найти счастье вроде бы просто, а с другой, это требует желания, усилий, воли, настойчивости, чтобы изменить свою жизнь к лучшему и почувствовать удовлетворение от неё, - утверждает она. - Вот в этом противоречии и состоит интрига книги. Конечно, у каждого свое представление о счастье. Само это понятие довольно растяжимое. Леона склонна больше рассматривать в нем не столько философскую суть, сколько более практическую сторону ощущение здоровья, бодрости, благополучия, гармонии, спокойствия, удовлетворенности жизнью. Мой подход к благополучию прост, - поясняет она. - Если вы хотите добиться нужных результатов, научитесь уделять пристальное внимание самым важным вещам позитивно мыслить, уметь анализировать, формулировать выводы, ставить перед собой цели и достигать их, правильно питаться, пить полезные напитки и регулярно упражняться. Я создала собственный метод исследования и познания жизни и себя, - говорит автор Руководства к благополучию. - Мое восприятие, жизненный опыт и склонность к тому, чтобы чувствовать себя комфортно и вести активный образ жизни, воплотились в этой книге. Цель моя - помочь людям правильно (сбалансированно) питаться, хорошо чувствовать себя в любом возрасте, во всём находить светлые стороны и смотреть позитивно на всё, что нас окружает. Эпиграфом к одной из глав Соколова взяла известную фразу Антона Чехова В человеке должно быть все прекрасно и лицо, и одежда, и душа, и мысли. Одежду можно купить, лицо при современных средствах косметологии нетрудно улучшить. А вот с душой и мыслями посложнее. Тут потребуется определённая работа. И тому, кто за нее возьмётся, прекрасным подспорьем послужит книга Руководство к благо

"A brilliantly written, absorbing book which puts the full impact of the '36 Olympic games-and its aftermath-into proper perspective. Seldom does a book immediately draw you in like this one does. An important book about a critical time in world history." -ERIK SHERMAN, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF NINE BOOKS INCLUDING 'DAYBREAK AT CHAVEZ RAVINE: FERNANDOMANIA AND THE REMAKING OF THE LOS ANGELES DODGERS' "As a fan of 'THE BOYS IN THE BOAT' and 'CITIZENS OF LONDON' this novel did not disappoint. A clever and captivating look behind the scenes of the 1936 Berlin Olympics. I couldn't put it down." -DANIEL P. HANLEY, ACADEMY AWARD-WINNING EDITOR, 'APOLLO 13 ' American Olympic Committee President Avery Brundage, unmoved by the new Nazi regime's anti-Jewish doctrines, leads the fight to participate in the 1936 Berlin Games after much debate of a U.S. boycott. Brundage desperately wants to be on the International Olympic Committee. If he doesn't get the Americans to Berlin, he can kiss that dream goodbye. When the vote is decided in Brundage's favor, AP Sports Editor, Alan J. Gould, friend and champion of the athletes, travels to Berlin to cover all of the "games" being played. Through his eyes we see the machinations of Brundage's complicity with the Nazis, the tenacity of the proud American athletes, and the extreme pressure from the Nazis on their German athletes. Their stories, heartbreaking and tragic, give rise to feats of heroism that go beyond the playing field. PLAYED is a cauldron of politics, sports, espionage and courage. Along the way we meet some of the most famous people of the time; Mae West, Charlie Chaplin, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Joseph Goebbels, Leni Riefenstahl, Eva Braun and the madman himself, who vowed to "make Germany great again," Adolf Hitler.

This book strikes at the heart of musical performance with a study of the relationship between music and rhetoric which was much remarked upon during the Renaissance and Baroque periods. The ideas of the classical rhetoric books are traced through the Tudor classroom to the late eighteenth century. Concentrating on performance techniques that aid the communication of musical ideas to an audience, historical source material is used to demonstrate how to hold the attention of the listener and at the same time move and delight them. Quotations from the rhetoric manuals, Shakespeare and the Bible are complemented by over one hundred musical examples, drawn mainly from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, illustrating the connection between speaking and playing in the rhetorical style.

Anthony Bailey's intimate look at life in Stonington borough made waves when it was published. First appearing in 1971 as a serialized version in the New Yorker, a hard-cover version was published soon thereafter. In 1992, a second paperback edition was printed locally and soon sold out. Copies are still passed hand to hand and quickly scooped up on eBay or at the Niantic Book Barn. Almost considered a rite of passage for newcomers to this small town, In the Village was not universally embraced by all of Stonington's longstanding residents. Some felt his narrative was too personal and were upset to see their characters so sharply drawn, while others thought it was perfect and were disappointed not to find themselves delineated in its pages. In 2020, Bailey gave his blessing to a third "anniversary" edition. Bailey had recently undergone a hip surgery and while recovering he would soon fall ill with what was then a new coronavirus. Geoffrey Little, a locally-based consultant and writer who specializes in technology, wellness, and education, carefully stewarded this project forward with Bailey's four daughters. As executors of his estate, they felt strongly that this project should continue. Little collaborated on the project with Stuart Vyse, a member of the board of the Stonington Historical Society and a retired professor of Psychology, who worked text and photographs into a new layout with book designer, Susan Lindberg. Bailey was much admired by Vyse and his most recent book, Stonington's Steamboat Hotel, was dedicated to Bailey. This anniversary edition includes the full text of the original as well as Bailey's introduction to the 1992 edition and also benefits from the addition of select photographs by Rollie McKenna from the archives of the Stonington Historical Society. The passage of time and the passing of some of the key characters does much to soften the edges of some of these observations but it also sharpens the emotion and the intent of Bailey's writing. There is much to be nostalgic for and there is no doubt that this was meant as an homage to a village now gone. In the Village now serves as a snapshot in time and illustrates in detail some of those colorful characters who otherwise would otherwise be lost in the spare and formal language of obituaries. According to Stuart Vyse, "Although Stonington borough has changed since Anthony Bailey's In the Village was first published in 1971, much remains the same. Bailey's central message-that there is great value in living in small communities-is as true today as it was then, and arguably, it is a message that we need now more than ever before. The Stonington Historical Society has done us all a great service by bringing this beautifully written love letter to Stonington to a new generation of readers."
