Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book • Daily Beast Best Nonfiction of 2014 • Inc. Magazine's Most Thought-Provoking Books of the Year “Man is born free, but he is everywhere in cubicles.” How did we get from Scrooge’s office to “Office Space”? From bookkeepers in dark countinghouses to freelancers in bright cafes? What would the world be like without the vertical file cabinet? What would the world be like without the office at all? In Cubed, Nikil Saval chronicles the evolution of the office in a fascinating, often funny, and sometimes disturbing anatomy of the white-collar world and how it came to be the way it is. Drawing on the history of architecture and business, as well as a host of pop culture artifacts—from Mad Men to Dilbert (and, yes, The Office)—and ranging in time from the earliest clerical houses to the surprisingly utopian origins of the cubicle to the funhouse campuses of Silicon Valley, Cubed is an all-encompassing investigation into the way we work, why we do it the way we do (and often don’t like it), and how we might do better.

Book excerpt: The first book by the reclusive inventor of the world’s most iconic puzzle THE RUBIK’S CUBE. Erno Rubik inspires us with what he’s learned in a lifetime of creating, curiosity, and discovery. Erno Rubik was a child when he first became obsessed with puzzles of all kinds. “Puzzles,” he writes, “bring out important qualities in each of us: concentration, curiosity, a sense of play, the eagerness to discover a solution.” To Rubik puzzles aren’t just games—they’re creativity machines. He encourages us to embrace our inner curiosity and find the puzzles that surround us in our everyday lives. “If you are determined, you will solve them,” he writes. Rubik’s own puzzle, the Cube, went on to be solved by millions worldwide for over forty years, become one of the bestselling toys of all time, and to be featured as a global symbol of intelligence and ingenuity. In Cubed, Rubik covers more than just his journey to inventing his eponymous cube. He makes a case for always being an amateur—something he has always considered himself to be. He discusses the inevitability of problems during any act of invention. He reveals what it was like to experience the astonishing worldwide success of an object he made purely for his own play. And he offers what he thinks it means to be a true creator (hint: anyone can do it). Steeped in the wisdom and also the humility of a born inventor, Cubed offers a unique look at the imperfect science of creation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Awesomeness Cubed Prayer Warrioring (ACPW) Prayers are the love, light, or action to raise the vibration. Warrioring is not, in this case, the battler, but the process of light working. Prayer warrioring is holding the love and light and sending it further and larger than imagined—atomic love bombs. ACPW starts with twenty-plus testimonials to expand your mind/beliefs to alternative possibilities in healing that have worked for others with Dr. Snell’s help. Hopefully, their truth will annihilate limiting barriers that may occur. ACPW explains helpful tools that has worked for Dr. Snell. ACPW has twelve different spirit-inspired projects. These projects were created to try to accomplish Dr. Snell’s need/desire to heal every animal and person entirely and all at once. These projects could be used on man or beast because we are all energetic beings. All of them could be done in private without the loved one knowing or in direct contact in public. You can pick and choose which project is right for you while prayer warrioring. ACPW—our health path thus far. Dr. Snell is blessed with a beloved child. She often does not fit into any box, which genetics must play a large part. Sandra would love to share some of the lessons she has learned along her path to help others. Her goal is to give ideas and many things you could do for yourself and loved ones in need besides fundamental prayer and worrying. ACPW—potential future books or services available. Twenty-nine different sections includes information on how to save lives, possibly stop seizures, hip dysplasia, some cancer tips, and so much more. Thank you for following your inner compass on some level to find this with divine timing when you need it most.
