Download or read book Modern Relationships written by Vladimir Živković and published by Vladimir Živković. This book was released on with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Men and women evolve. Their love relationships evolve, too. In every new era, there are different behavioral norms. In the modern age there is no more interesting subject for people than love and sexual relationships, and achieving happiness in them. The main subject of this book is bad behavioral patterns of modern people in love relationships, as well as unavoidable attaining of self-satisfaction and satisfaction with one’s life. This book consists of three parts. The first part deals with generalities on men, women and their dispositions. Because of the inevitable question that arises related to any human being when it comes to luck, love, and meaning of life, spirituality and God had to be a mandatory subject of this book. Thus, the first part is named “Return to God: Men and Women” and it consists of texts which unite search for the meaning and spirituality of the modern man with its own wishes, wants, and fallacies of the modern men and women. The second part of the book is, even more, intriguing for the mind of the modern man because it deals with sexuality, games of seduction and sexual relationships of both sexes. It is called “Sexuality and Seduction” and the title itself reveals that it’s the endeavor of living positive sexuality, as well as about the truth that’s hidden between people playing games of seduction and manipulation. The third part of the book is named “Return to God: Love Relationships” and it is the pinnacle of this delicacy because it reveals many secrets, but also mistakes that people nurture in the love relationships and due to them they cannot reach happiness and fulfillment. All in all, this book carries authenticity, originality, but also the positive experience, because it reveals answers to a very big number of troubling and important questions of the modern people to which other books don’t offer answers, and if they do, they are incomplete or wrong in the most of the cases. This can already be reckoned by the incidence of misery and loneliness, as well as broken marriages of people of both sexes. Even if this book revolts the reader, it is also useful for reading in that case. Good luck!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From acclaimed author Cathy Lamb comes a warm and poignant story about mothers and sons, family and forgiveness--and loving someone enough to let them be true to themselves. . . Jaden Bruxelle knows that life is precious. She sees it in her work as a hospice nurse, a job filled with compassion and humor even on the saddest days. And she sees it in Tate, the boy she has raised as her son ever since her sister gave him up at birth. Tate is seventeen, academically brilliant, funny, and loving. He's also a talented basketball player despite having been born with an abnormally large head--something Jaden's mother blames on a family curse. Jaden dismisses that as nonsense, just as she ignores the legends about witches and magic in the family. Over the years, Jaden has focused all her energy on her job and on sheltering Tate from the world. Tate, for his part, just wants to be a regular kid. Through his blog, he's slowly reaching out, finding his voice. He wants to try out for the Varsity basketball team. He wants his mom to focus on her own life for a change, maybe even date again. Jaden knows she needs to let go--of Tate, of her fears and anger, and of the responsibilities she uses as a shield. And through a series of unexpected events and revelations, she's about to learn how. Because as dear as life may be, its only real value comes when we are willing to live it fully, even if that means risking it all. Beautifully written, tender and true, A Different Kind of Normal is a story about embracing love and adventure, and learning to look ahead for the first time. . .

Book excerpt: THE EXPLOSIVE NEW YORK TIMES AND NATIONAL BESTSELLER Push beyond your physical limits to improve yourself by following bowhunter and ultramarathoner Cameron Hanes's lifelong philosophies and disciplines. “It’s all mental.” I say this all the time, and it’s true. If you believe you can do it, you can. We all have virtually limitless potential. Our bodies are capable of so much more than what we ask of them. Take off the mental handcuffs, get out there, and start on your way today. What is your passion? You can become better at it. Committing yourself to fitness only fuels your beliefs. You gotta believe to achieve. Cameron Hanes discovered his true passion for bowhunting when he was twenty. Inspired by the physical challenges of stalking elk in the Oregon wilderness—traversing mountainous terrain, braving erratic weather, and evading his quarry’s even more dangerous predators—he began an ever-evolving journey of self-improvement. To become the best bowhunter of wild elk, to the caliber he believed he could be, Cam realized he would need more than archery skills. He would need the stamina and strength that could only come from an athletic training regimen of long-distance running and heavy-weight lifting. And every day for more than thirty years, Cam has put in the work, building miles and muscles, pushing through pain with a single-minded focus on the only goal worth having—besting himself time and again. Part memoir, part motivational manifesto, Endure reveals how Cam—a self-professed average guy—put himself through the paces to live the life of an expert bowhunter, respected writer, and family man. With discipline, sacrifice, resilience, a hard work ethic, and a belief in his own capabilities, Cam not only accomplished his dreams but continues to surpass them. There is no secret to his success except relentless determination and loyal dedication to his own self-worth. If Cam can do it, we all can. Everyone has what it takes to endure adversity so we can rise above average, be the best we can be, and enjoy living life to the fullest.
