Maresi Red Mantle

On Finding

An essay book about finding your way forward, and the benefits of getting lost.

This book is about finding things. Really it is more of a beginning, a collection of questions for anyone seeking to move ahead with new approaches, problems, and solutions. It’s about the challenge Google promised to help us with, this basic human problem we were told would be solved once and for all. Three chapters of this book are essentially about the internet, and three are essentially about other things. The book does not provide any definitive answers. It tries to find a way forward, but it is far more interested in getting lost. Featuring: A lieutenant commander, a mapmaker, a musician, and Konstantina, the doctor who got suspicious— and found a ruthless sloth inside the author’s body.

The Lazy Way to a Wonderful Life, by Gunnel Ryner

Are you tired of fighting an uphill battle and constantly having to rely on your own willpower, motivation and self-discipline? Would you like to learn a smarter, simpler way to get the life you’ve always dreamed of – both at home and at work?

Gunnel Ryner overturns the traditional view of self-development and success, in which it’s all about you, and instead shows how you can create an environment – with the right people, things, places, conditions and ideas – that simply draws you in the direction you want to go.

With a light-hearted blend of science, humour and relevant examples, she demonstrates the positive aspects of laziness and shows how the right environment is more important than willpower. The book also provides you with a step-by-step method that makes it easy and fun to get where you want, both in your own life and together with your colleagues at work.

Gunnel Ryner has a degree in behavioural science and is a speaker, organisational consultant and coach. With her talks, workshops and coaching programmes, she has inspired thousands of people to take themselves and their workplaces to completely new heights. The Lazy Way to a Wonderful Life is her second book.

Migraine

Short story by bestselling author Arne Dahl, published as part of Novellix’s Swedish Crime box.

Arne Dahl, the bestselling writer and creator of the Intercrime series and the Berger & Blom series, takes you through an action-filled story that will make your heart pound–and your head throb.

I slam the door open. This room is bigger, brighter. In the distance, a clearing of light: flashing, piercing, corrosive. A door of pure light. A double door of divine brightness. The whiteness outside. Explosive, but alluring. More shelling, at a greater distance, it has to come from machine guns. But who are they shooting at? Was I hit? Am I dead?
