Australian-New Zealander children’s author Laurel Colless grew up with books as her friends. Always a fan of adventure stories with twists, Laurel reverts to her eleven-year-old self when writing the Peter Blue books, a science fantasy series where a group of friends at an eco-school solve big world problems and battle evil climate demons birthed from human garbage dumps.

​

A literary-comparatist by education, Laurel spent 25 years working in environmental business and journalism in Asia, the US and Europe, before coming back to writing. She is the founder of the Carbon Busters Club, a kids’ climate-science program that combines storytelling with science education. In 2013, Laurel Colless became an Al Gore Climate Reality Leader.

When Laurel is not writing or busting carbon, she likes reading, watching movies, forest walking with her dog (and sometimes even her cat!) and spending time with her teenage daughters. She is a fan of golf, tennis, yoga, and swimming in the sea (not with her cat). Laurel now makes her home in Helsinki with her Finnish husband, their two daughters, a wiry-haired dachshund and a rescue cat.

Wake Up & Be Free | End Your Personal Suffering

At twenty-five, desperate to find a solution to the madness of war and violence consuming our world, I took a massive dose of LSD on my birthday after three days of fasting. What started as terror became the most profound awakening of my life. As I felt myself dying, a spontaneous mantra arose: "We're alive. We're alive down here. We're alive."

In that moment, I burst through the top of my head into a dimension beyond time and space, knowing myself absolutely as immortal, intelligent consciousness. I knew this was the answer—if everyone could have this experience, the world would come to peace.

But this was just the beginning of an eighteen-year search for someone who could teach me how to pass on what I'd realized. That search led me to a tiny room in Lucknow, India, where I sat on a bed with an elderly man whose eyes held the fire of love itself. In that moment, looking into his eyes, I saw myself looking back at me. My search was over.

I didn't know how to address this living Buddha, so I started calling him Papaji—grandfather in Hindi—and the name stuck. He became known worldwide by that name. As we walked together holding hands, Papaji said, "A candle that lights other candles is one thing, but a candle that lights other candles that light other candles—that is something else." That became my mission as he passed on the flame of freedom.

Today, through the Leela School of Awakening, I, and the teachers in the school, guide people to the same realization that changed my life—that who we are is already alive and free.

Looking for advice on how to choose a career path? This dynamic approach goes straight to the source: asking real-world workers how they feel about their occupations.

After three decades in corporate America, Mike Wysocki wondered if the grass really was greener on the other side. So he put his background in sociology to work and spent years surveying industry veterans in a variety of occupations.

The responses were eye-opening: an honest, insider's look at what workers say about their careers outside of the office.

Wysocki chose the 101 most powerful responses for Careers By the People to demystify the world of work with practical experience rather than theory. These industry profiles pair the practicality of guidance counselors with the storytelling of a networking event (without the small talk).

Told in a Q&A format, insightful answers to thought-provoking questions include:

* descriptions of a day-in-the-life of the profession they chose.

* truths about conflicts, co-workers, and management.

* common misconceptions, issues and what pitfalls to avoid.

* what's fulfilling, what's draining, and what's worth it.

With humor and authenticity that doesn't hold punches, this career guidebook will help you narrow down career choices so you can determine what is best for you.

Not you. If you are actually considering learning what it takes to win instead of falling for the "if we build it they will come" myth, you are already ahead of the game. Startup success boils down to one truth. Fastest team to learn, wins. Not the smartest, not the cleverest, not the richest. Just the team that learns, iterates, and executes faster than everyone else. Starting a StartUp isn't a feel-good startup manifesto; it's a battle-tested framework built for founders who want results (and are willing to do the hard work).

With two decades of experience founding successful startups with multi-million dollar exits and mentoring hundreds of entrepreneurs, James Sinclair has developed a methodical, practical, step-by-step guide to winning in the real world.

No theory. No fluff. No excuses.

Before you write a single line of code, hire an engineer, or spend a dollar on development, you'll learn how to validate your idea, deeply understand your market, and build something people actually want and will pay for. Because distribution beats product every time, and customer trust isn't given - it's earned, one strategic step at a time.

This is your guide that takes you from zero to paying customers without wasting time, money, or sanity. Real, actionable insights to avoid the costly mistakes that sink most first-time founders.
