I added This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. The Climate
because naomi Klein shows exactly where it is going today if we don't act now.
And I added the book I wrote The Battles: A Fabulous Odyssey Seeking The Secret of Success and Positive Thinking.
Because, honestly, I wrote this book to help to change the word. This is my contribution to make our world better, one person at a time. We face so many challenges today, but all together, we can change the world and make it a better place, each one using their own skills. Every effort counts.
Hope you appreciate.
