People are creatures of habit and, as such, they like to act in the same way. No matter how much they wish for any kind of change to happen, they keep on the same path, not swerving from the vicious cycle of their mistakes. Then, how can people be sure to achieve new, happy results? The answer is simple: by changing approach. With this in mind, The Gateway To Personal Transformation, through a direct and engaging prose, aims to provide guiding principles that people can adopt in their everyday lives to become the best versions of themselves.

What happened to Keketso Semoko at the beginning of 2020, is something that united the whole world. While reading her When The Ego Dissolved - Lockdown Diary we identify with many passages she recounts with great emotion. That unforgettable Time of History made us feel humanity closer, in which many certainties have become confused and others well clarified. It's true that we have rediscovered the simplicity of things, we have reclaimed our time, a life marked by care for ourselves, a way of organizing our own solitude, but also improve the quality of being in company, as well as finding space to fill in moment after moment with our loved ones, near and so far.

Drawing on his fascination with the natural world and human nature, John Power presents us with a collection of short stories that peer around the corner of life. Each self-contained story captures a snapshot, a scene, a momentary observation to highlight both the beauty and brutality of our natures. Set in different countries and epochs, these poetic, fable-like tales are linked by a single, arbitrary thread: a reference to air travel. • An inventor tries to gain funding for a new kind of butterfly-powered airship. • An introverted child is obsessed with leaving the ground. • An ancient landscape speaks to a hiker with sounds of growth and decay. With sting-in-the-tail resolutions and piercing honesty, Air Lines: Short Stories to Be Read on Planes investigates the truth behind our interactions with ourselves and others.
