Metadata can be pulled from many different sources, e.g., online booksellers and providers of free e-books and periodicals in the US and elsewhere, such as the Internet Archive, Munsey's Magazine, and Project Gutenberg and social networking sites for readers, such as Goodreads and LibraryThing. Ĭalibre allows users to sort and group e-books by metadata fields. Calibre does not natively support DRM removal, but may allow DRM removal after installing plug-ins with such a function. Conversion and editing are easily applied to appropriately licensed digital books, but commercially purchased e-books may need to have digital rights management (DRM) restrictions removed.

Drawing on ground-breaking findings from psychology and brain science, he shows how the right kind of suffering sets the stage for enhanced pleasure, and how pain itself can serve a variety of valuable functions: to distract us from our anxieties or even express them, to help us transcend the self or project our identity, or as a gateway to the joys of mastery and flow.Calibre ( / ˈ k æ l ɪ b ər/, stylised calibre) is a cross-platform free and open-source suite of e-book software. He argues that embracing this truth is the key to a life well lived.
In The Sweet Spot, pre-eminent psychologist Paul Bloom explores the pleasures of suffering and explains why the activities that provide most satisfaction are often the ones that involve greatest sacrifice. And yet we are irresistibly drawn to a host of experiences that truly hurt, from the exhilarating fear of horror movies or extreme sport, to the wrenching sadness of a song or novel, to the gruelling challenges of exercise, work, creativity and having a family.
