Four Years of Talking is a compelling compilation of speeches, articles, and press releases delivered by Prof. Steve Sinikiem Azaiki during his tenure as a member of the Nigerian House of Representatives from June 2019 to June 2023. The book offers a candid and detailed window into the work of a legislator — not just on the floor of the National Assembly, but across national, and international platforms. The book is organized into two thematic parts: Bayelsa Politics and National Affairs. Among the defining moments captured in the book are Prof. Azaiki’s passionate response to the devastating 2022 floods in Bayelsa State, his position papers on the controversial Petroleum Industry Bill and the Electoral Bill, his stewardship accounts to constituents, and his consistent championing of education and human capital development. Former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR, wrote the Foreword, describing the book as “a clear portrait of robust representation.” The book is dedicated to Prof. Azaiki’s daughter, Kalizibe, who at thirteen fought cancer for two years — and won.
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. A Fragment and the Whole is a crime novel revolving around one of the great secrets of the twentieth century and the conspiracy theories surrounding it. It is also a text about breakthroughs in neuroscience and the latest research on the subject. The author has assembled a team of medical consultants who have collaborated on the text and verified its scientific legitimacy. A Fragment and the Whole is a metaphorical story of memory loss as denial. It is also a novel about aging, approaching death, and grappling with mortality. The text is written from the perspective of an aging man and is a study in masculinity at the turn of the twenty-first century.
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.
