Book excerpt: The reason behind the discomfort of mankind is the absence of meaning and consequently, they spend their lives in utter confusion while always trying to find out which direction they should head towards. In the pursuit of this direction--which is an inborn thirst inside them, they get lost in the pursuit of happiness when in actual thinking of happiness as a motivation to live is a deadly concept and that is why those who rely only on happiness, never end up finding their meaning of life. The meaning of life cannot be something temporary and can be found out in both happiness and pain--and this when discovered, results in a life of peace, harmony, and clarity. Not only this, it connects the humans with the divine purpose they are here for, which is consistent growth leading to excellence in terms of spirituality, purification, and connection with the divine. The book explains the complete picture of the meaning of life, in terms of man's journey from birth to death and a journey beyond death. This will help you see your life--to answer you about all the pain and miseries you have ever come across, and to prepare you for the upcoming trials of your life so that you do not remain lost and confused anymore and you get to tackle the life challenges with positive attitude, staunch confidence and a sheer will for sticking to the purpose anyhow. Once you internalize the concepts explained in this book, you will be able to identify your goals, discover your passion and how to align that passion with purpose to spend a life of satisfaction. It will help you become strong and most importantly, it will help you connect with the love of The Lord Most High at deeper levels.

Esta es una historia de la codicia y la belleza a través de las gemas más hermosas y perfectas del mundo.

Reinas, emperadores, princesas, multimillonarios, actrices o socialités poseyeron joyas como el Diamante Hope, la Perla Peregrina, el Koh-i-Noor, El Regente, la tiara perdida de los Romanov o el collar de María Antonieta, tesoros por los que el ser humano no ha dudado en traicionar, robar, asesinar o provocar guerras y derrocamientos. Tan bellas como letales, nos han hechizado con su aura de misterio y fatalidad.

Fruto de la codicia de las personas y de su extraordinaria rareza y escasez, estas joyas han sobrevivido a revoluciones, incendios y saqueos, pero en su periplo a través de los siglos ha recaído sobre ellas una leyenda negra que en realidad nos habla del lado más oscuro del ser humano.

Bienvenidos a la historia de estos símbolos de poder excepcionales y de las personas que las atesoraron, protagonistas de extraordinarios relatos de ambición y de la búsqueda incansable de pureza, perfección y belleza que nos inspira o nos consuela; testimonios aparentemente silenciosos que nos hablan sobre la condición humana.
