The poems in Let’s All Die Happy explore apostasy, concerned with what happens after the beliefs and institutions which promised fulfillment leave us empty instead. Through a darkly humorous lens, it also examines a patriarchal culture in which women are defined through their relationship to others and how this inheritance weighs heavily not only on the lives we lead but shapes what life it is possible to even imagine having. Ultimately, the poems push against these containers, burning through the stages of a woman's life until there's nothing left but to invent what's next, finding both loneliness and liberation in this reclamation.

In the final days of Christmas 2019 I had an epiphany. I will never forget that night when I cried out as I saw a vision of that "little"! Since then, I have felt so dismal and would rather bury my head in the sand! No matter where I go and how fast I run, I can’t forget that dream or catch that invisible "little" anymore! I found myself running away and I couldn't help it! I would ask myself, "To whom should I report to?", "What is the remedy other than running away?" These questions have brought me to author the fourth book on COVID-19. This series has covered the world's journey, experiences, and views since it all began. It was just a "little" and wasn’t much. Before I knew it, it had infected the world entirely. It was supposed to pass by swiftly with "little" to be done. Then it proceeded to be remedied by a face mask for two weeks, followed by just one dose of a vaccine. All the while, the nightmare never ended. The "little" invader of human cells creeped in unnoticed; in the darkness, and left imprinted memories for generations to come. It has changed our day to day lives for more than two years, shaped our daily living, and will affect our future for decades to come. The "little" wasn’t the least as the world thought, and was indeed ignored, as many downplayed its sharp spikes until it killed millions and infected hundreds of millions. The world is living in tears and terrors, broken hearted, and in fear. "What is next?'', I would ask myself, as it appears it is only getting worse as the news of wars and economic collapse are already at our door. To make things grave, many forever lost! But now, lessons must be learned and the wisdom of the past shall carry the world to the future. Over 16 sections and 188 chapters, the book represents the last of the author’s series of COVID-19 as it covers the last year of the pandemic and the most recent events. It represents the author’s views and highlights a wide variety of topics ranging from living stories, medical and political to philosophical views and experiences. The book reflects the author’s Christian and medical devotions as it covers many true patients stories, patients’ testimonials, medical events, and resident education.

The book also includes interviews with, and biographies of, well-known journalists, as well as case studies looking at the way that some of the biggest names in world sport, from Lance Armstrong to Caster Semenya, have been reported.

Deeper and deeper as the human spirit roams with fascination unto Divinity. Never enough roaming! This is my eleventh book of Christianity and the human brain. As a neurosurgeon for thirty years, I have found unlimited bonds between the Christian Divinity and the human brain. My neurosurgical humanity eagerly desires to explore Divinity. Since my childhood goes back decades and is deeply rooted, I meditate with my Christian brain searching for common understanding of spirituality in humanity. It is hard to describe this through each book and I find myself seeking more Divine clarifications. My meditation is achieved thorough reading the Holy Bible with my neurosurgical human brain. I try to peel my deep thoughts layer by layer as if I am dissecting the human brain in neurosurgery in actual life. The book touches on many timely aspects of our human life with personal spiritual views and poems. The book consists of Twelve major Sections and each section ranges from 8 to 23 chapters with total of 137 chapters. The main sections include: My Christian Dreams in Neurosurgery, Monasticism in My Life, Mothers and Children: Angels Living, Human Brains and Spirituality, Jesus Love, The Persecuted Christ and Christ Followers, Royalty and Heavens with Jesus, Last Hours in humanity, Spiritual Reflections, Views and Poems, Law and the Spirit, Sacred Medicine and Patients Testimonials. As a Coptic Christian from Egypt, I was raised in keeping up with strong Christian Orthodox practice in daily living. Perhaps the strength of the book is incorporating Jesus the Almighty God in everything I do, not only in daily living but also with my patients in Neurosurgery practice. There is a dire need of such a book especially in an era where Christianity continued to be persecuted worldwide and denied in a daily basis as evidenced through public restraining of Lord Jesus Christ in our daily life. The human brain and Neurosurgery are in Jesus God as Christ the Lord is in human brain and Neurosurgery. I hope for the reader to find spiritual use of the book and a closer relationship to our Holy Trinity: God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

The first wave of baby boomers is reaching retirement age. Some are professionals who don't aspire to retire. For some, retiring and spending time on the golf course or with grandkids is the ultimate reward after a life of work. For others, work is the reward, and it is for those people, professionals who plan to continue working at age 60 and beyond, that Mike Willard has written The Portfolio Bubble: Surviving Professionally at 60. In The Portfolio Bubble, Willard offers practical advice for professionals who find themselves planning for the next phase of their working life. He shows how to add life experiences and professional abilities to a work portfolio that can be used to launch a new career - or to reinvigorate an existing one. The Portfolio Bubble is written for an affluent, motivated audience. It stands alone in addressing the interests of the older executive who wants to prolong his work-life and is looking for answers.
