About the Article
In this first systematic elaboration of his critique of political economy, Marx develops the basic concepts. Chapter 5 in particular makes it clear how Marx understands the concepts of political economy as a mystification of the relationships between people.

Most of us spend our lives steering ourselves toward the best of all possible futures, only to find that tomorrow rarely turns out as we had presumed. Why? As Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert explains, when people try to imagine what the future will hold, they make some basic and consistent mistakes. Just as memory plays tricks on us when we try to look backward in time, so does imagination play tricks when we try to look forward.

Using cutting-edge research, much of it original, Gilbert shakes, cajoles, persuades, tricks, and jokes us into accepting the fact that happiness is not really what or where we thought it was.

Smart, witty, accessible, and laugh-out-loud funny, Stumbling on Happiness brilliantly describes all that science has to tell us about the uniquely human endeavor to envision the future, and how likely we are to enjoy it when we get there.

The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay

It's the story of a little boy who grows up in South Africa in the 1940's and it's about his dream to become the heavy weight boxer of the world (despite being 4 years old and really tiny).

It's a wonderful book and is about our ability to believe in ourselves and never give up despite the hurdles we face however big.

You can post the link, only thing, it won't be directly linked and we'll have to copy and paste it. If it doesn't allow you to post the link at all, then try giving a space somewhere in between the link and then post.😊
