The Shift by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer - Every one has a dharma, a destiny, a “calling of the soul.” Every bird, every tree, every person comes into this world with something it is destined to do. All of the other creatures on the planet don’t get confused about this; they are what they are. Human beings, because they take on a false self, or ego, start to believe that what they do or what they have defines them. The Shift illustrates that when you are at peace and you let go, you will be guided into your dharma. You will be living a life of meaning rather than ambition.

Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain

Legends of the Fall - Movie - Epic tale of three brothers and their father living in the remote wilderness of 1900s USA and how their lives are affected by nature, history, war, and love.

Around the world in 80 days - by Jules Verne, Michael Glencross - 'To go around the world...in such a short time and with the means of transport currently available, was not only impossible, it was madness'

Vasily Kandinsky - Three decades prior to that fateful Dessau meeting, Kandinsky launched his artistic career. In 1895, he abandoned a legal profession to become the art director of the printing firm Kushnerev in Moscow. One year later Kandinsky left for Munich and formed associations with the city’s leading avant-garde groups, including Phalanx, Neue Künstlervereinigung München (New Artists’ Association of Munich), and Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider).
