The narrative provides a humorous and insightful exploration of elite British society through the lens of one man's experiences at Oxford and Cambridge. It captures the essence of high-society events like garden parties and formal balls, alongside spirited debates and drinking competitions. The protagonist's journey includes rowing in prestigious regattas and navigating romantic lessons from a Rhodes Scholar, offering a fresh perspective on the often romanticized but seldom glimpsed world of the British upper class.

This pioneering study explores how to navigate life's major transitions with meaning and skill. Bruce Feiler, known for his bestsellers, embarked on a journey across the country, collecting stories from individuals who experienced significant life changes—ranging from job losses and relationship shifts to personal transformations and fresh starts. After coding these narratives, he identified patterns and insights that can help us thrive during times of change. Feiler reveals that transitions are increasingly common and mastering the skills to manage them is essential. The notion of having one job or relationship is outdated; many of us feel unsettled by life's unpredictability, worried that we've strayed from our intended paths. Yet, we are not alone in this experience. The book introduces the concept of the nonlinear life, where each person encounters numerous disruptors, with one in ten leading to what Feiler terms a "lifequake," a significant change resulting in a transition that typically lasts five years. Crucially, Feiler provides a powerful toolkit for navigating these pivotal moments, offering specific strategies to help us reimagine and rebuild our lives, often emerging stronger than before. With insights that resonate across generations, this work encourages readers to reflect on change and transform it into opportunities for creativity and growth.

Exploring the origins of Western faith, the author delves into historical moments that shaped religious beliefs. By examining these pivotal events, the narrative aims to shed light on contemporary issues surrounding religious extremism, offering insights into how the past influences today's spiritual landscape.

An informative and entertaining guide to help families cherish and enrich home life and strengthen their bonds in our age of distraction.

Bruce Feiler was in 2008 nog maar een jonge vader toen hij te horen kreeg dat hij een zeer agressieve vorm van botkanker had. Hij begon zich direct zorgen te maken over wat zijn dood zou betekenen voor zijn tweelingdochters Eden en Tybee. Drie dagen later kwam hij met een inspirerend plan om zijn dochters te beschermen na zijn dood: hij zou zes mannen, die hij op verschillende momenten in zijn leven had leren kennen, vragen om een vader voor zijn dochters te zijn als hij er niet meer was. Vaders voor mijn dochters is het verhaal over wat er vervolgens gebeurt. Feiler wisselt het aangrijpende relaas van zijn behandeling af met de opbeurende levenslessen van deze mannen, met als resultaat een boek dat veranderingen teweeg zal brengen in de manier waarop ouders omgaan met hun kinderen, hun vrienden en hun eigen leven.

Cesta ke kořenům náboženství Úvahy o Bohu, víře a náboženství spojuje autor s popisem zážitků ze své cesty po kulturních památkách Středního východu. Archeologická, historická a kulturní zvědavost dohnala autora k často velice nebezpečné cestě napříč Středním východem. Americký rozhlasový komentátor a zpravodaj Bruce Feiler se rozhodl navštívit místa spjatá s biblickými příběhy, ale také s náboženskými a válečnými konflikty - Izrael, Irák a Írán. Při svém putování si všímal kulturních památek, kde se snoubí minulost s přítomností, vztahu lidí k náboženství a víře. Snažil se pochopit nejasnou roli Boha v životě, toho Boha, kvůli kterému se vedou války. Zážitky z cest se střídají s úvahami o Bohu, víře a náboženství. Autor cituje Bibli a zamýšlí se nad jednotlivými hrdiny a příběhy. Text je poznamenán atmosférou náboženských konfliktů počátku 21. století (situací po teroristickém útoku 11. září 2001, arabsko-židovským konfliktem, vojenským tažením proti Saddámu Husajnovi v Iráku, íránskou studenou válkou se Západem).

The author recounts his ten-thousand-mile journey across the Middle East in search of the roots of the Bible to discover whether it was an abstraction or a living, breathing entity.

"Abraham" uncovers fascinating, little-known details of the man who defines faith for half of the world. Endpaper maps.
