*May this book find the person it needs to. May they find every word they were looking for.* **I know you don’t want to talk sometimes. Sometimes because it hurts and sometimes because you’re just not supposed to talk about what you want to talk about. Sometimes it can be hard to say, “this is beautiful,” when no one else can see what you see. Or, “Here, this is where the pain is.” But some part of you knows, the truth about the words you cannot say is that they only hurt until you say them. They only hurt until the person who needs to hear them, hears them. Because we are human, and the closest we’ve ever come to showing each other who we really are, and how we love, is with words. So I’m going to try to say to you here, what I wish you’d say to me too. Please. Listen. We can change things. Here.

I need you to understand something... Ten years ago, I started writing this for you. I wrote it for you and only you. Since then, millions of other people have read it, but none have understood it the way you understand it. I set out to find you a long time ago and today, I'm so glad I finally have. Thank you for reading these words.

<div>I want you to know that even if no one else does, even if you are a ghost in this bookshop, or just the static floating across the screen of your computer, wherever you're reading this, I see you. I see you in the dark and I see you in the grey. I see you as a story, as words I have spoken or may yet speak. Maybe only in a memory or a dream. I see your hands and your arms and your body and your legs and your face and I see what you have been and what you will be. I see you and in looking at you, I want you to know that whoever you've had to be to survive all this, I will not look away. I want you to know that there's a space inside this book for you. So if you have the time and the inclination, you can sit here with me, just for a while. And perhaps between us, we can see everything that matters. -pleasefindthis</div>

The Truth of You: Poetry About Love, Life, Joy, and Sadness (The Souls Trilogy)

The Secret of You: Poetry About Shadows and Light (The Souls Trilogy)

Why are we here? What does it mean to love? How do we overcome suffering? Why do we feel so alone? Is happiness truly possible? For thousands of years, humanity has turned to the same sacred texts to explore these universal questions--from the Bible and the Tao Te Ching, to the poetry of Rumi and Sappho, to modern-day mystics. What if you could take all of the wisdom contained within these collective pages and, using the world's most advanced artificial intelligence, receive the answers? Thanks to OpenAI, a nonprofit research lab cofounded by Elon Musk and other tech luminaries, this is now possible. OpenAI's mission is to ensure that artificial intelligence serves the betterment of humanity--and What Makes Us Human? offers an innovative exploration of AI's potential in this realm. To create this first-of-its-kind book, international bestselling poet Iain S. Thomas and prodigious researcher and innovator Jasmine Wang collaborated with OpenAI's GPT-3, an advanced artificial intelligence. Wang and Thomas prompted GPT-3 with thousands of humanity's greatest texts, and then asked GPT-3 our most pressing questions. Contained in this book are the conversations and exchanges that followed. A bold, daring experiment, What Makes Us Human? is a contemporary exploration of spirituality that will inspire a new understanding of what makes us humans, humans.

Central Avenue Publishing

Winner of: 2015 New England Book Award, Honorable Mention Central Avenue Publishing is proud to publish another book by the widely acclaimed poet Iain S. Thomas. As many have noted on various social media platforms, there have been some issues that have led to the delayed release of this book. For this, we apologise and hopefully the content of the book will clarify the circumstances surrounding this delay. We feel we should also point out that this is not technically a self-help book, but it does contain some poignant prose, poetry and stories which may or may not lead you to happiness. Mostly, it is the rather unfortunate chronicle of a man's attempt to write the book he’s promised his publisher, no matter the cost to his sanity.
