Inside are 100 fiercely clear, emotionally grounded boundaries that don’t ask for permission. Each one is short, sharp, and designed to help you reclaim your time, your peace, your energy—and your dignity. You’ll find boundaries like: ✅ I don’t explain my trauma to people who haven’t earned that trust. ✅ I don’t let someone’s urgency become my emergency. ✅ I don’t tolerate double ...

The South African Special Forces achieved exceptional results with small groups of elite soldiers instead of larger, conventional teams. The Team Secret shows that the same principle applies to the business world – a small team has a greater chance at completing projects efficiently, within a budget and on time. Teams, rather than individuals, form the DNA of many companies, and they play a pivotal role in achieving strategic and financial success. Like Special Forces teams, they must function as a well-oiled machine firing on all cylinders.

The Seagull is Anton Chekhov's first major play, originally produced in 1896.

Both dissatisfied with their lives yet hesitant to embrace change, they find themselves drawn together by a connection as powerful as it is uncertain.

Besides being a great short story writer, Anton Chekhov was also a master of the novella. One of his best is My Life, the tale of a rebellious young man so disgusted with bourgeois society that he drops out to live amongst the working classes, only to find himself once more disillusioned.

Chekhov can characterize with a single well-selected detail. He sums up relationships among a group of people, or the beliefs held by an entire country, by finding those key objects that crystallize his characters' strongest emotions. These four stories dramatize an array of obsessions that are at once purely Russian and deeply universal. Ralph Cosham's voice is so clear and unaccented as he reads these tales that he is a bit surprising; the complex Russian names stand out, jolting the listeners.

A piano tuner called Murkin, a close-shaven man with a yellow face, with a nose stained with snuff and cotton wool in his ears, came out of his hotel room into the passage. And looking at his frightened face one might have supposed that the ceiling had fallen in on him. 'Upon my word, Semyon!' he cried, seeing the attendant running towards him.
