Book Review: Pax and the Missing Head by David Barker
In a country beset by civil war, New London defends itself behind a giant wall. Inside the city, children are forced to work from an early age, except for the lucky few who train to be leaders in the re-purposed Palace of Westminster. 12-year-old orphaned Pax is brilliant at recycling old tech. He enjoys working on the verti-farms and just wants a bit of peace and quiet. But when that is taken away from him, his only hope is to pass a near-impossible exam and join the other students in Scholastic Parliament. There he’ll make new friends and new enemies. He’ll get tested like never before. And he’ll discover that not everything is quite what it seems under the mayor’s harsh leadership.

Book Review: "Start with Why" by Simon Sinek
Introduction Upon commencing my trip through Simon Sinek's "Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action," I was swept up in a profound investigation of the fundamental factors that propel successful leadership and organizational achievement. In order to challenge the status quo of conventional business and leadership strategies, Sinek's thesis centers on a fundamental question: Why do certain leaders and organizations achieve more, inspire more, and garner a more devoted following than others? This book emphasizes the significance of the mission and values that propel a person or an organization, attempting to reveal the hidden dynamics that foster leadership and devotion.

The Power of Fun
The author of "The Power of Fun," I expected her to provide a step-by-step guide on how to have more fun every single day. However, what truly stood out was her emphasis on the fact that fun is already present in our lives—we just need to be more aware of it. Price introduced the concept of a "delights practice," inspired by Ross Gay's "The Book of Delights," which encourages us to actively seek out and appreciate the small moments of joy that often go unnoticed. By adopting this practice, we can enhance our overall sense of happiness and fulfillment.
