It was meant to be the holiday of a lifetime for Samantha: the launch of her travel blog, her best friend’s wedding and – hopefully – her own marriage proposal. Until she finds herself on her way to Tobago – single.

Disillusioned with his corporate job on Wall Street, Roman is starting afresh in Tobago. He doesn’t need a distraction, especially a free-spirited travel blogger. But something about Samantha intrigues him.

As romance blossoms, Roman and Samantha must learn to risk their hearts. But when secrets are revealed, their new relationship is put in jeopardy. Now Samantha and Roman must decide what they really want. They came to Tobago to find themselves, but could finding each other be what they needed all along?

Until I Met You - Written and Read by Amber Rose Gill

Antifragile is a standalone book in Nassim Nicholas Taleb&rsquo;s landmark Incerto series, an investigation of opacity, luck, uncertainty, probability, human error, risk, and decision-making in a world we don&rsquo;t understand. The other books in the series are Fooled by Randomness, The Black Swan, and The Bed of Procrustes. Nassim Nicholas Taleb, the bestselling author of The Black Swan and one of the foremost thinkers of our time, reveals how to thrive in an uncertain world. &#160; Just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension, and rumors or riots intensify when someone tries to repress them, many things in life benefit from stress, disorder, volatility, and turmoil. What Taleb has identified and calls &ldquo;antifragile&rdquo; is that category of things that not only gain from chaos but need it in order to survive and flourish.&#160; &#160; In The Black Swan, Taleb showed us that highly improbable and unpredictable events underlie almost everything about our world. In Antifragile, Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary, and proposes that things be built in an antifragile manner. The antifragile is beyond the resilient or robust. The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better and better. &#160; Furthermore, the antifragile is immune to prediction errors and protected from adverse events. Why is the city-state better than the nation-state, why is debt bad for you, and why is what we call &ldquo;efficient&rdquo; not efficient at all? Why do government responses and social policies protect the strong and hurt the weak? Why should you write your resignation letter before even starting on the job? How did the sinking of the Titanic save lives? The book spans innovation by trial and error, life decisions, politics, urban planning, war, personal finance, economic systems, and medicine. And throughout, in addition to the street wisdom of Fat Tony of Brooklyn, the voices and recipes of ancient wisdom, from Roman, Greek, Semitic, and medieval sources, are loud and clear. &#160; Antifragile is a blueprint for living in a Black Swan world. &#160; Erudite, witty, and iconoclastic, Taleb&rsquo;s message is revolutionary: The antifragile, and only the antifragile, will make it. Praise for Antifragile &#160; &ldquo;Ambitious and thought-provoking . . . highly entertaining.&rdquo;&mdash;The Economist &#160; &ldquo;A bold book explaining how and why we should embrace uncertainty, randomness, and error . . . It may just change our lives.&rdquo;&mdash;Newsweek &#160; &ldquo;Revelatory . . . [Taleb] pulls the reader along with the logic of a Socrates.&rdquo;&mdash;Chicago Tribune &#160; &ldquo;Startling . . . richly crammed with insights, stories, fine phrases and intriguing asides . . . I will have to read it again. And again.&rdquo;&mdash;Matt Ridley, The Wall Street Journal &#160; &ldquo;Trenchant and persuasive . . . Taleb&rsquo;s insatiable polymathic curiosity knows no bounds. . . . You finish the book feeling braver and uplifted.&rdquo;&mdash;New Statesman &#160; &ldquo;Antifragility isn&rsquo;t just sound economic and political doctrine. It&rsquo;s also the key to a good life.&rdquo;&mdash;Fortune &#160; &ldquo;At once thought-provoking and brilliant.&rdquo;&mdash;Los Angeles Times From the Hardcover edition.

Episode 57: Everyday Genius

Today's guest is Kyle Eschenroeder, author of "The Pocket Guide to Action." 

Last year, Kyle published a piece on the site called "Meditations on the Wisdom of Action." It contained 116 short, punchy devotional-esque passages on the nature and importance of action. It was my favorite piece of content in 2016, and I still find myself continually thinking about its principles, and utilizing them in my life. The feedback we’ve received from readers has been similarly enthusiastic. At over 16,000 words, this longform article was about the length of a short book. So we decided to turn it into one, and titled it "The Pocket Guide to Action: 116 Meditations on the Art of Doing."

Today on the show, I’ve brought Kyle on to dig deep into his philosophy on action. He shares why inaction can be expensive, how action can sometimes mean not doing anything, and why taking action is the best way to find courage and passion in life. Along the way, he shares tactics you can take today to help shift yourself into a more action-oriented mindset. 

If you’ve been struggling to get started on a project or have just been feeling unmotivated, this podcast will light a fire under your rear!

Turtles All the Way Down by John Green, read by Kate Rudd

Extrait de "Le Seigneur des Anneaux 1 - La fraternité de l'anneau" de J.R.R. Tolkien lu par Thierry Janssen. ©Editions Audiolib. Parution le 14 février 2018.

https://www.audiolib.fr/livre-audio/le-seigneur-des-anneaux-1-la-fraternite-de-lanneau-9782356419569

C’est un dangereux héritage que Bilbo Bessac cède à son neveu avant de disparaître : l’anneau de pouvoir forgé par Sauron et dérobé jadis à Gollum. Le mage noir n’aspire qu’à retrouver son arme et sa puissance, et déjà ses cavaliers font route vers le Comté… Pour leur échapper et détruire la menace que représente cet anneau, le jeune Hobbit, Frodo, et ses compagnons commencent la périlleuse traversée de la Terre du Milieu, dans l’espoir d’atteindre la Faille du Destin, au coeur du Mordor.
Chef-d’oeuvre de la fantasy, découverte d’un monde imaginaire, de sa géographie, de son histoire et de ses langues, mais aussi réfl exion sur le pouvoir et la mort, Le Seigneur des Anneaux est sans équivalent par sa puissance d’évocation, son souffle et son ampleur.
Cette nouvelle traduction prend en compte la dernière version du texte anglais, les indications laissées par Tolkien à l’intention des traducteurs et les découvertes permises par les publications posthumes proposées par Christopher Tolkien.

"Le Seigneur des Anneaux 1 - La fraternité de l'anneau" de J.R.R. Tolkien lu par Thierry Janssen

Longlisted for the 2018 Man Booker Prize Winner of Novel of the Year at the An Post Irish Book Awards Winner of the Costa Novel Award Longlisted for the Dylan Thomas Prize "[Rooney] has been hailed as the first great millennial novelist for her stories of love and late capitalism...[she writes] some of the best dialogue I've read."&mdash;The New Yorker From celebrated author Sally Rooney, "the literary phenomenon of the decade" (The Guardian): a universal story of love, friendship, and growing up At school Connell and Marianne pretend not to know each other. He&rsquo;s popular and well-adjusted, star of the school football team, while she is lonely, proud, and intensely private. But when Connell comes to pick his mother up from her job at Marianne&rsquo;s house, a strange and indelible connection grows between the two teenagers&mdash;one they are determined to conceal. A year later, they&rsquo;re both studying at Trinity College in Dublin. Marianne has found her feet in a new social world while Connell hangs at the sidelines, shy and uncertain. Throughout their years at university, Marianne and Connell circle one another, straying toward other people and possibilities but always magnetically, irresistibly drawn back together. And as she veers into self-destruction and he begins to&#160;search for meaning elsewhere, each must confront&#160;how far they are willing to go to save the other. Sally Rooney brings her brilliant psychological acuity and perfectly spare prose to a story that explores the subtleties of class, the electricity of first love, and the complex entanglements&#160;of family and friendship.
