Over the English Channel, on a cliff in Sussex known as a popular suicide site, a person was found later identified as Paul, a Canadian born in Poland. Paul is alive, but he does not remember anything, he does not know who he is and who he was. He does not even know if he is Paul or someone else entirely. Loss of memory is associated with the loss of identity, social position, awareness of belonging to a specific culture, nation, even sexual orientation.

After the accident, Paul undergoes many years of treatment. Is it recovering its memory or constructing a new one? Paul tries to understand who he is and what mystery his memory hides. Years later, his memory reconstructs the day Paul arrived in London and read the Princess Diana Spencer Accident Report. On the same day, Paul is entangled in a breakneck attempt to reveal “the mystery” of Princess Diana's death. A desire for profit, an obsession with solving puzzles or a midlife crisis lead Paul to a catastrophe. After a few days, his body is found over the English Channel, on a cliff in Sussex.

Our approach to productivity is broken. The common principles and tools often improve the numbers, sure — but the numbers don’t tell the full story. Many have mastered the mechanics of productivity yet feel hollow in their success. The ceaseless pressure for endless growth, for maximizing every minute, for commodifying every ounce of energy and time — it’s crushing. It feeds a voice of panicked stress that doesn’t quiet when the clock strikes five. There has to be a better way to bring work and life into balance than forcing them further apart.

Thankfully, feeling stuck isn’t the same as being stuck. We can experiment with new ways of working — ways that reconnect our professional ambitions with our human needs, our struggles and strengths, our desire for meaning. If you’re a professional or creative who’s tired of the culture of constant optimization, who values structure but craves depth, who’s reached a stage where “getting things done” is no longer enough — Productiveness offers a way forward.

Productiveness reclaims what it means to be productive in a world that confuses busyness with value. Where productivity has become a relentless pursuit of quantity, productiveness restores balance between quantity and quality — between output and outcome, doing and being.

Drawing on a lifetime of curiosity and practice in time management and creative focus, Mike Vardy explores nine enduring elements of productiveness — humanness, grace, prudence, cadence, nuance, tolerance, efficacy, trust, and will — principles that help readers reorient their relationship with time and attention. Through reflective essays and grounded practices, Vardy offers a path toward wholeness in work and in life.

Productiveness isn’t a manual for managing time — it’s an invitation to partner with it. A guide to rediscover the art of being productive without losing your humanity in the process.

In the wake of profound loss, grief becomes a journey of transformation for a diverse group of individuals seeking solace, understanding, and healing.

Five years after the devastating loss of her son, Colleen Friesen—a compassionate woman no stranger to sorrow—forms a grief group called The Price We Pay. Drawing from her own experiences with loss, she guides its members through the complexity of grief in sessions held in a cozy café during Saskatchewan’s blistering winter.

From Sarah, a college student who recently lost her father, to Ray, a young widower battling anger and guilt, to Paul, an Indigenous man whose loss of a friend unearths long-repressed grief and reconnects him with his heritage—they discover that while sorrow may isolate, it can also ignite a personal evolution, both within and beyond. Through their discoveries, revelations, and vulnerable moments, the group grows closer together, forming a lasting bond that becomes the foundation for their future journeys in life.

Comforting, inspiring, and with interactive questions posed to the reader at the end of each chapter, The Price We Pay not only explores and embraces grief and the many forms it takes, but also expands on themes of resilience, connection, and the enduring nature of love.

John has loved traveling his whole life, and in the early 2000s it was the country of Colombia that captured his heart. Always ready for something new, he recounts his adventures to beautiful beaches, history-filled cities and everything the local gay community has to offer, even when it wasn’t safe. More than once he found himself in guerilla-controlled areas, and he was even rushed out of a funeral because a guerilla group was in attendance! But even as a gay foreigner, John shows that taking the risk—with a good helping of common sense—is always worth it when exploring a new country, especially one that isn’t always first on someone’s list.

My Two Years in Colombia is a memoir about John finding life, love and happiness in a country far away from home. Although there are always risks involved in travelling, he wants nothing more than to show that it’s worth it to experience a new culture and to create connections with its peoples that stand the test of time.

The book the moment requires.

After more than fifty years inside Canadian education — as a science teacher, school superintendent, university faculty member, and founder of an independent academy in Toronto — Alfred Abouchar has written an honest examination of an institution that has lost its bearings.

Across twenty-five chapters and five sections, Restoring Trust In Education traces how a system that once cultivated minds and formed citizens has come to manage perceptions, inflate grades, stage reform, and produce graduates whose credentials announce more than their education has delivered. Drawing on Canadian and international evidence — from PISA results to employer surveys, from university skills studies to the daily realities of contemporary classrooms — the book builds a diagnosis that is at once empirical, philosophical, and personal.

But this is not a book of complaint. It is a book of recovery.

The final third proposes the conditions under which schools can once again become what they were established to be: places of substance rather than spectacle, of formation rather than performance, of intellectual seriousness rather than therapeutic accommodation. It examines what a renewed Education Act would require; what a serious commitment to bilingualism would look like; how the teaching profession must be rebuilt; what moral coherence in schooling means; and what the four daily pillars — teaching, classwork, homework, and assessment — must again become.

The book closes with a personal account: a life that began at Collège Saint-Marc in Alexandria, traversed the Canadian public system across half a century, and culminated in the founding of La Citadelle International Academy of Arts and Science — an attempt to enact in practice the convictions the book defends in principle.

Restoring Trust In Education is written for teachers who have not given up, for parents who are watching their children educated by a system they no longer fully trust, for school leaders who sense that the frameworks they have inherited are no longer adequate to the work, and for anyone who believes that schools can still be what they were meant to be.

It is the testimony of a life in classrooms, and the argument of a man who has thought carefully about what education is for.

Janey June Jamieson grew up with her parents and younger sister, Ellie, on the idyllic Shag Island, off the coast of Nova Scotia. When the girls are sent to the mainland to finish high school, they find themselves in the centre of a social web they were not prepared for.

Janey is reserved and a bit of a people pleaser. Ellie is her opposite: an enthusiastic prankster. But to those in Wood Point, they are the Island Girls. This makes them a source of fascination, particularly for two WWII veterans, Stuart and Ronnie. Stuart outwardly pursues Janey while Ronnie remains in his shadow, always leering at Ellie. Janey agrees to a date with Stuart; Ellie bluntly rejects her pursuer, preferring the gentler Tim.

Janey does not want to offend Stuart, but she knows she does not like him. This is reinforced as Stuart antagonizes all around her. Then, shortly after Janey returns to Shag Island for the summer, a young man, Henry, arrives. Janey and Henry fall instantly in love, but Henry is hiding a secret that keeps them apart. Life becomes even more complicated once Janey visits with Sally, a local “witch” who provides Janey with a mysterious riddle to guide her heart.

Torn between a man she does not want and a man she cannot have, Janey must learn to trust her instincts and find her way through the untamed wilderness of adulthood. Meanwhile, around her, love blooms and love dies as the sometimes-unforgiving maritime seasons pass by.

On May 26, 1896, in Victoria, British Columbia, hundreds of residents and visitors headed out to a grand military display, the culmination of days of celebration surrounding Queen Victoria’s birthday. As a packed electric streetcar crossed the Point Ellice Bridge, passengers heard a loud crack and felt a sharp jolt. A moment later, the car, its occupants and the entire span of the bridge crashed into the water below, resulting in fifty-six deaths and overwhelming the city with grief.

Who was to blame? The province, which had built the bridge? The tramway company, which had dangerously overloaded it? Or the city, which had failed to maintain it? The legal wrangling would drag on for years, while a political battle played out over plans for the bridge’s replacement.

In City in Mourning: Victoria’s Point Ellice Bridge Disaster, Robert James Clark delivers a gripping investigation of North America’s deadliest streetcar accident.
