Take The Risk
But by insulating ourselves from the unknown—the risks of life—we miss the great adventure of living our lives to their full potential. Ben Carson spent his childhood as an at-risk child on the streets of Detroit, and today he takes daily risks in performing complex surgeries on the brain and the spinal cord. Now, offering inspiring personal examples, Dr. Carson invites us to embrace risk in our own lives.
From a man whose life dramatically portrays the connection between great risks and greater successes, here are insights that will help you dispel your fear of risk so you can dream big, aim high, move with confidence, and reap rewards you’ve never imagined. By avoiding risk, are you also avoiding the full potential of your life? The surgery was as risky as anything Dr. Ben Carson had seen. The Bijani sisters—conjoined twins—shared part of a skull, brain tissue, and crucial blood flow. One or both of them could die during the operation. But the women wanted separate lives. And they were willing to accept the risk to reach the goal, even against the advice of their doctors …
As a child on the dangerous streets of Detroit, and as a surgeon in operating theaters around the world, Dr. Ben Carson has learned all about risk—he faces it on a daily basis. Out of his perilous childhood, a world-class surgeon emerged precisely because of the risks Dr. Carson was willing to take. In his compelling new book, he examines our safety-at-all-costs culture and the meaning of risk and security in our lives. In our 21st-century world, we insulate ourselves with safety. We insure everything from vacations to cell phones. We go on low-cholesterol diets and buy low-risk mutual funds. But in the end, everyone faces risk, like the Bijani twins did with their brave decision.
Even if our choices are not so dramatic or the outcome so heartbreaking, what does it mean if we back away instead of move forward? Have we so muffled our hearts and minds that we fail to reach for all that life can offer us—and all that we can offer life? Take the Risk guides the reader through an examination of risk, including: • A short review of risk-taking in history. • An assessment of the real costs and rewards of risk. • Learning how to assess and accept risks. • Understanding how risk reveals the purpose of your lives."

PUBLIC SPEAKING FOR SUCCESS
Public speaking, as Carnegie saw it, is a vital skill that can be attained through basic and repeated steps. His classic volume on the subject appeared in 1926 and was revised twice-in shortened versions-in 1956 and 1962. This 2006 revision-edited by a longtime consultant to Dale Carnegie & Associates, Inc., and the editor in charge of updating How to Win Friends and Influence People-is the definitive one for our era.
While up-to-date in its language and points of reference, Public Speaking for Success preserves the full range of ideas and methods that appeared in the original: including Carnegie's complete speech and diction exercises, which follow each chapter, as the author originally designated them. This edition restores Carnegie's original appendix of the three complete self-help classics: Acres of Diamonds by Russell H. Conwell, As a Man Thinketh by James Allen, and A Message to Garcia by Elbert Hubbard. Carnegie included these essays in his original edition because, although they do not directly relate to public speaking, he felt they would be of great value to the readers. Here is the definitive update of the best-loved public-speaking book of all time.

Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell
In this stunning new book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers"--the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful. He asks the question: what makes high-achievers different?
His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing. Along the way he explains the secrets of software billionaires, what it takes to be a great soccer player, why Asians are good at math, and what made the Beatles the greatest rock band.
GIFTED HANDS by BEN CARSON
Gifted Hands will Transplace you into the operating room to witness surgeries that made headlines around the world, and into the private mind of a compassionate, God-fearing physician who lives to help others. In 1987, Dr. Carson gained worldwide recognition for his part in the first successful separation of Siamese twins joined at the back of the head.
An extremely complex and delicate operation that was five months of planning and twenty-two hours of actual surgery, involving a surgical plan that Carson helped initiate. Gifted Hands reveals a man with humility, decency, compassion, courage, and sensitivity who serves as a role model for young people (and everyone else) in need of encouragement to attempt the seemingly impossible and to excel in whatever they attempt.

David and Goliath
Three thousand years ago on a battlefield in ancient Palestine, a shepherd boy felled a mighty warrior with nothing more than a pebble and a sling-and ever since, the names of David and Goliath have stood for battles between underdogs and giants. David's victory was improbable and miraculous. He shouldn't have won.
Or should he?
In DAVID AND GOLIATH, Malcolm Gladwell challenges how we think about obstacles and disadvantages, offering a new interpretation of what it means to be discriminated against, suffer from a disability, lose a parent, attend a mediocre school, or endure any number of other apparent setbacks.
In the tradition of Gladwell's previous bestsellers-The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers and What the Dog Saw-DAVID AND GOLIATH draws upon history, psychology and powerful story-telling to reshape the way we think of the world around us.

This is a timeless story for the ages, a tale of the past that resonates powerfully for today's readers.

At a tender age, she becomes convinced that she will never find true love, instead believing that “love is a terrible thing that will make you suffer. . . .” A chance meeting in Rio takes her to Geneva, where she dreams of finding fame and fortune.
Maria’s despairing view of love is put to the test when she meets a handsome young painter.

The 5 Levels of Leadership by John Maxwell
True leadership isn't a matter of having a certain job or title. In fact, being chosen for a position is only the first of the five levels every effective leader achieves. To become more than "the boss" people follow only because they are required to, you have to master the ability to invest in people and inspire them.
To grow further in your role, you must achieve results and build a team that produces. You need to help people to develop their skills to become leaders in their own right. And if you have the skill and dedication, you can reach the pinnacle of leadership-where experience will allow you to extend your influence beyond your immediate reach and time for the benefit of others.
The 5 Levels of Leadership are:
1. Position - People follow because they have to.
2. Permission - People follow because they want to.
3. Production - People follow because of what you have done for the organization.
4. People Development - People follow because of what you have done for them personally.
5. Pinnacle - People follow because of who you are and what you represent.
Through humor, in-depth insight, and examples, internationally recognized leadership expert John C. Maxwell describes each of these stages of leadership. He shows you how to master each level and rise up to the next to become a more influential, respected, and successful leader.

What the Dog Saw by Malcolm Gladwell
What is the difference between choking and panicking? Why are there dozens of varieties of mustard but only one variety of ketchup? What do football players teach us about how to hire teachers? What does hair dye tell us about the history of the 20th century?
In the past decade, Malcolm Gladwell has written three books that have radically changed how we understand our world and ourselves: The Tipping Point, Blink, and Outliers. Now, in What the Dog Saw, he brings together, for the first time, the best of his writing from The New Yorker over the same period.
Here you'll find the bittersweet tale of the inventor of the birth control pill, and the dazzling creations of pasta sauce pioneer Howard Moscowitz. Gladwell sits with Ron Popeil, the king of the American kitchen, as he sells rotisserie ovens, and divines the secrets of Cesar Millan, the "dog whisperer" who can calm savage animals with the touch of his hand. He explores intelligence tests and ethnic profiling and why it was that employers in Silicon Valley once tripped over themselves to hire the same college graduate.

Title: “The Perfect Storm”
Author: Athanas Mbele
“The Perfect Storm” by Athanas Mbele is a poignant memoir that delves deep into the author’s turbulent journey through health challenges, betrayal, and strife. With raw honesty and unwavering courage, Mbele invites readers into his world, where the tempest of life’s trials threatens to engulf him at every turn.
The narrative unfolds with gripping intensity as Mbele navigates the treacherous waters of illness, facing not only the physical toll but also the emotional and psychological turmoil that accompanies it. His candid account lays bare the harsh realities of confronting mortality, grappling with uncertainty, and striving for resilience in the face of adversity.
One of the book’s most compelling aspects is Mbele’s exploration of betrayal, which adds a layer of complexity to his already tumultuous journey. Through vividly depicted anecdotes and introspective reflections, he sheds light on the profound impact of broken trust and the challenges of rebuilding shattered relationships.
Despite the storms that rage around him, Mbele emerges as a beacon of hope and inspiration, his unwavering spirit shining through the darkest of times. His story serves as a powerful reminder of the human capacity for endurance, resilience, and ultimately, triumph over adversity.
This book is not merely a memoir; it is a testament to the indomitable strength of the human spirit and a testament to the power of hope, resilience, and the courage to persevere against all odds. Athanas Mbele’s compelling narrative will leave readers deeply moved and profoundly inspired.
Ephraim Shamba –
Dear Athanus Mbele,
I wanted to take a moment to express my deep appreciation for your book “The Perfect Storm.” It’s not often that a book captivates me from start to finish, but yours did just that. The way you weave together intricate plotlines and compelling experiences is truly remarkable.
Your ability to tackle and narrate complex practical life-changing painful experiences with grace and depth is inspiring. “The Perfect Storm” entertained me and left me pondering its themes long after I finished reading. Your insights into human nature and the intricacies of relationships when at the bottom are profound.
Moreover, your vivid descriptions of the settings transported me to another world entirely. Whether it was the storms or the quiet moments of reflection, I felt like I was alongside, feeling the pain and the miracles.
Thank you for sharing your story with the world. “The Perfect Storm” has not only entertained me but also inspired me in my own storms . I eagerly await to meet up with you in person and gain from your insights.
regards,
Ephraim Shamba.

At first, I bought the book primarily to support Athanas who has been a friend for over ten years. However, as I read page to page, chapter to chapter, I found immense wisdoms of life applicable in diverse situations of life. I have learnt alot about the struggles of some of the global icons shared in the book. Mostly we know of only their succes stories. The book truly I a lifter of spirits when your spirit is downcast with the sudden twists of life.
Kenneth Kichinda –
This is one of the best books I have ever read. A must read for entrepreneurs, leaders and anyone who wants to create an impact in his/her sphere of influence.
Athanas has been able to share his success and failures story with clarity and how he managed to break free from the shackles of betrayal, discouragements, losses and health issues.
Among the lessons I have learnt from this book are:
– The importance of patience, perseverance and willingness to learn from failures.
– Understanding the true value of time, delegating responsibilities and focusing on strategic growth.
– Success is not about personal accomplishment but about serving others and making positive impact.
– Forgiveness is not a feeling but a conscious decision, a choice to liberate ourselves from the choking bitterness that hinders our progress and without it (forgiveness) love will have no purpose.
-Trusting in God and His word at all seasons of life.
– Ambitions are good but should not come at the expense of our values, health and relationships.
– Deep within our soul is power to rise and grow above the storm and finding peace amidst turmoil.
Patrick –
Athanas speaks from the bottom of his heart. From his life threatening encounter with renal failure, to building a thriving business only to loose all of it, his is a story that every Kenyan and young person can draw inspiration from. If you think you’ve been sailing through rough waters, read Mbele’s story, it will captivate and inspire you to rise above the Odyssey of despair and hopelessness.
