While living in West Africa in the 1970s, John Chernoff recorded the stories of “Hawa,” a spirited and brilliant but uneducated woman whose insistence on being respected and treated fairly propelled her, ironically, into a life of marginality and luck as an “ashawo,” or bar girl. Rejecting traditional marriage options and cut off from family support, she is like many women in Africa who come to depend on the help they receive from one another, from boyfriends, and from the men they meet in bars and nightclubs. Refusing to see herself as a victim, Hawa embraces the freedom her lifestyle permits and seeks the broadest experience available to her. In Hustling Is Not Stealing and its follow-up, Exchange Is Not Robbery, a chronicle of exploitation is transformed by verbal art into an ebullient comedy. In Hustling Is Not Stealing, Hawa is a playful warrior struggling against circumstances in Ghana and Togo. In Exchange Is Not Robbery, Hawa returns to her native Burkina Faso, where she achieves greater control over her life but faces new difficulties. As a woman making sacrifices to live independently, Hawa sees her own situation become more complex as she confronts an atmosphere in Burkina Faso that is in some ways more challenging than the one she left behind, and the moral ambiguities of her life begin to intensify. Combining elements of folklore and memoir, Hawa’s stories portray the diverse social landscape of West Africa. Individually the anecdotes can be funny, shocking, or poignant; assembled together they offer a sweeping critical and satirical vision.
Stealing the Wolf King's Heart: MM Omega Mpreg Romance by Max Rose Pdf
An omega wolf has a chance at the greatest prize ever—the love of an alpha king… Darius Voss, the powerful alpha king of the shifter nation of Andernburg, thought his palace was impenetrable. So imagine his surprise when he enters his bedchamber and finds a thief looting the family jewels. The little American looks nothing like a criminal. He's small, lithe, and delicately beautiful—and he's an omega wolf. Despite his better judgment, Darius is enamored with the cheeky omega and decides to show him mercy instead of a dungeon. But some nobles aren't as amused by the little thief's antics. Or by Darius's taste in companions. Johnny Hughes is stuck in Andernburg after his money and passport are stolen by thugs who put him in the hospital for what he is. And now, it's either steal or starve. He knows his relationship with the gorgeous alpha king is pure sport, but he'd be a fool to turn down accommodations like these…for as long as the king finds him amusing. And if he's falling in love with the king? No one ever needs to know. Especially not Darius. Or the nobles who believe that a common omega—and a thief—is cheating them out of the power they want for themselves. But when a reckless night of passion leaves Johnny with child, everything becomes far more real. Darius is bound by duty to the realm and beset by betrothals from noble wolf packs vying for a royal match for their daughters. But the kingdom will never yield that honor to an omega, much less allow one to bear the king's heir… Reader note: contains M/M Mpreg, wolf shifters, hot romance elements, protective alphas and cheeky omegas, and male male love

National Bestseller CNBC and Strategy + Business Best Business Book of the Year It’s the biggest revolution you’ve never heard of, and it’s hiding in plain sight. Over the past decade, Silicon Valley executives like Eric Schmidt and Elon Musk, Special Operators like the Navy SEALs and the Green Berets, and maverick scientists like Sasha Shulgin and Amy Cuddy have turned everything we thought we knew about high performance upside down. Instead of grit, better habits, or 10,000 hours, these trailblazers have found a surprising short cut. They're harnessing rare and controversial states of consciousness to solve critical challenges and outperform the competition. New York Times bestselling author Steven Kotler and high performance expert Jamie Wheal spent four years investigating the leading edges of this revolution—from the home of SEAL Team Six to the Googleplex, the Burning Man festival, Richard Branson’s Necker Island, Red Bull’s training center, Nike’s innovation team, and the United Nations’ Headquarters. And what they learned was stunning: In their own ways, with differing languages, techniques, and applications, every one of these groups has been quietly seeking the same thing: the boost in information and inspiration that altered states provide. Today, this revolution is spreading to the mainstream, fueling a trillion dollar underground economy and forcing us to rethink how we can all lead richer, more productive, more satisfying lives. Driven by four accelerating forces—psychology, neurobiology, technology and pharmacology—we are gaining access to and insights about some of the most contested and misunderstood terrain in history. Stealing Fire is a provocative examination of what’s actually possible; a guidebook for anyone who wants to radically upgrade their life.
