Do you believe "the narrative" about COVID-19?A virus, pandemic, tests, cases, hospitalizations and deaths.Something must be done...Lockdowns, curfews, business closures, stimulus payments, furloughs, border restrictions.The only way out...VaccinesThe original estimate often given for producing a vaccine in record time was "12 to 18 months". Vaccines usually take at least 5 years to go through all the processes necessary to prove safety and efficacy. Yet less than a year since the viral outbreak was declared a pandemic millions had already been given the jab.None of the vaccines have been approved, but are being used under Emergency Use Authorizations only. They are still classed as experimental, and if you are given one, you are part of the biggest vaccine trial ever run on the human race.Despite this hasty experimental roll-out, there is a huge publicity campaign underway to encourage everyone to get vaccinated as soon as possible. The pressure is on.The Great Vaccine Roundup of 2021Do you have questions? Are you concerned?Does something feel "not quite right" about all of this?This book doesn't claim to know "the truth", nor does it suggest that the most lurid conspiracy theories are correct.What it aims to do is help you to think through all that is going on around the world, by questioning the narrative we are being fed every day. Who is involved, what motivations might they have, why is this all happening so quickly? This is an exercise in critical thinking, because only by doing this can we come to a rational and considered decision about what the best course of action is for our own personal and unique circumstances.

We were tempted to call this book "7 Simple Steps to Goal Setting Success". It has such a lovely ring to it. But this is not a book about setting goals. This is a book about achieving goals so that you can create the lifestyle you have often dreamed of. Achieving a goal is very different to setting a goal. We all have different goals - some are simple, some are more challenging - but the process involved in beginning, working toward and ultimately completing most goals is the same. This book has been written to help, inspire and focus you so that you can achieve your goals, whatever they may be. You will then be well on your way to enjoying the life you have often imagined.

What does someone do after putting their whole life up for sale on eBay, then travelling the world for two years with a list of 100 lifetime goals and a challenging timeframe of 100 weeks, and finally selling the rights for the whole amazing story to Walt Disney Pictures? Why, they go and buy their own private Caribbean island, of course! The author's continuing quest for amazing adventures and incredible experiences take him to the beautiful tropical archipelago of Bocas del Toro, on the Caribbean coast of Panama. There he somehow ends up purchasing his own private Caribbean island - it sounds like a dream come true, doesn't it? Maybe not! The trials and tribulations of a gringo trying to make a home on an overgrown island make for a fascinating portrayal of life in this challenging area of the world. Sinking boats, defective chainsaws, document forgery and aggressive roosters are just a small sample of the hurdles facing a tired traveller who really just wants to lie in a hammock sipping margaritas for a while! "Caribbean Island Tales" may make you re-consider the nature of the Caribbean island dream, or may just inspire to find your own adventure of a lifetime. This newly updated version of "Paradise ...delayed" contains 16 new chapters chronicling more tropical adventures and mishaps, including details of the filming of a documentary TV show at the island, appropriately titled "New Lives in the Wild".
