Reclaiming fun as a meaningful concept for understanding games and play.Fun is somewhat ambiguous. If something is fun, is it pleasant? Entertaining? Silly? A way to trick students into learning? Fun also has baggageit seems inconsequential, embarrassing, child's play. In Fun, Taste, & Games, John Sharp and David Thomas reclaim fun as a productive and meaningful tool for understanding and appreciating play and games. They position fun at the heart of the aesthetics of games. As beauty was to art, they argue, fun is to play and gamesthe aesthetic goal that we measure our experiences and interpretations against.

Would you fall in love with someone who is arrogant, an exhibitionist, vain, manipulative, and greedy for admiration? Would you work under a boss who flies into uncontrollable rages, assassinates the character of anyone who gets in his way, and then projects his own paranoia on to you? Sounds like a no-brainer... but many of us actually do! That makes us codependents and them power-hungry narcissists. As they trample over us in their quest for self-aggrandisement and we find ourselves dragged into an unhealthy parasitic relationship with them, our lives can become utterly miserable and feel out of control. This book shines a light on the reasons why narcissists are like they are, and on the pain and suffering they inflict on the codependents around them and, more importantly, it shows how both can move towards winning back control and regaining happiness in their lives.

When Matt Ritter and the crew of the dive boat The Deuce respond to an SOS from a research vessel being attacked and sunk, they end up rescuing billionaire Phillip Gibson and his crew. Gibson is in possession of the diary of a Spanish Galleon that disappeared during a hurricane with nearly two billion dollars worth of gold. To repay his gratitude, Gibson hires part of the crew to help him recover the diary from his sunken ship, then continue his search. But, Dominic Kelso, part of an international smuggling cabal, has his eyes on the treasure, and kidnaps Gibson and four members of The Deuces crew and force them to continue the search after destroying their ship and faking their deaths during a storm, Expecting no help from the Coast Guard, and with no clue as to their wherabouts, Deuce crew member and Army veteran Pamela Griggs leads a team on a mission to locate and rescue them.

The book identifies the most common error made in todays society that causes people to be unhappy. Despite an unremittingly hedonistic pursuit of instant gratification, the deep and satisfying glow of real happiness still cant be achieved. However, this book shows how small changes to an individuals behaviour can have massive positive effects that lead to true happiness.

Narcissists can seriously diminish the happiness of those around them. Everyone knows people who display narcissistic behaviour, either family members or in the workplace, or for many people, both. The narcissist looks to others in his or her environment for a view that will reflect and confirm how wonderful he or she is.This book shines the spotlight on narcissism in all of its micro and macro manifestations. Each of the books 20 chapters examines a different aspect of the topic. Some explore the theoretical aspects of narcissism and some look at the damage that well-known narcissists have inflicted on their businesses or their countries. Other chapters tell true stories about how people, with varying degrees of narcissism, have diminished the happiness of those around them, with the names changed to protect the identities of both the "innocent" and the "guilty"!
