Brief summary
10 Conversations You Need to Have with Your Children
Why do I have to repeat everything? Why does every conversation end in an argument?
Communicating with our children. Conversing. Connecting. When did it become so difficult? And how do we begin to change it for the better?
This book was designed to help parents answer these important questions, and it is based on two fundamental ideas: The first is that there are no bad children, and no deliberately bad parents -- but that sometimes, despite the best of intentions on both sides, there can be bad relationships between parents and children. The second is that, as parents, we must do everything we can to save those relationships, to reach out and really communicate with our children, because it is only through talking to them that we can create an environment for inspiration and change.
In this compelling book, Shmuley Boteach, passionate social commentator and outspoken relationship guru, walks you through the critical conversations, including: cherishing childhood; developing intellectual curiosity; knowing who you are and what you want to become; learning to forgive; realizing the importance of family and tradition; being fearless and courageous. As a father of eight, Rabbi Shmuley speaks from a wealth of experience. He has written a book for parents of children of all ages, from toddlers, who are just beginning to become aware of the world around them, to adolescents, who must learn to navigate all sorts of tricky social and academic pressures.
10 Conversations will help you stay connected to your children so that they develop the kind of strong moral character that leads to rich, meaningful lives.

Finishing Strong Going the Distance f...
Overview
Bestselling author Steve Farrar has good news for the average man: it doesn't matter if you've had a great start in the Christian life, or a rough one. It doesn't matter if you've stumbled time and again, or even fallen flat on your face.
What matters most in this all-important race of life is how you finish. According to Farrar, the man who hangs in there for the long haul with his wife, his kids, and his Lord is an exception these days.
Finishing Strong, now in trade paperback, offers lively use of Scripture, contemporary illustrations, and study questions to equip every reader to be that exception. For the man who wants to climb the character ladder more than the corporate one, this is an essential tool.

But as is not the case with those masters, his books have never been available to the general public—until now!In The ABCs of Success—the first trade book ever published by this master of motivation and prosperity—Proctor goes beyond the simple laws of success and attraction, weighing in on sixty-seven different topics essential to all those who wish to make their dreams a reality, including persistence, winning, effectiveness, and vision.
Organized in A-to-Z fashion and composed of brief essays that can be read over and over, The ABCs of Success is an essential resource for anyone who wants the combined wisdom of a century of success thinking in a single, accessible volume.

Work Rules!
From the visionary head of Google's innovative People Operations comes a groundbreaking inquiry into the philosophy of work-and a blueprint for attracting the most spectacular talent to your business and ensuring that they succeed."We spend more time working than doing anything else in life. It's not right that the experience of work should be so demotivating and dehumanizing." So says Laszlo Bock, head of People Operations at the company that transformed how the world interacts with knowledge. This insight is the heart of WORK RULES!, a compelling and surprisingly playful manifesto that offers lessons including:
Take away managers' power over employees
Learn from your best employees-and your worst
Hire only people who are smarter than you are, no matter how long it takes to find them
Pay unfairly (it's more fair!)
Don't trust your gut: Use data to predict and shape the future
Default to open-be transparent and welcome feedback
If you're comfortable with the amount of freedom you've given your employees, you haven't gone far enough.
Drawing on the latest research in behavioral economics and a profound grasp of human psychology, WORK RULES! also provides teaching examples from a range of industries-including lauded companies that happen to be hideous places to work and little-known companies that achieve spectacular results by valuing and listening to their employees. Bock takes us inside one of history's most explosively successful businesses to reveal why Google is consistently rated one of the best places to work in the world, distilling 15 years of intensive worker R&D into principles that are easy to put into action, whether you're a team of one or a team of thousands.<br style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather

A Dog That Barks By Kennedy
"A Dog That Barks" explores the metaphor of a dog that barks as a symbol of self-expression, confidence, and living authentically. The narrative begins by addressing why many people fail to realize their dreams, attributing this failure to a lack of deep self-understanding and reluctance to express one's true voice. It delves into the idea that a dog that doesn't bark loses its value, paralleling this with individuals who silence themselves and thus diminish their potential
A thousand times Held By Syowai Onyancha
A Thousand Times Held
A Thousand Times Held explores the connection between self-awareness, healing, wholeness, and how we show up as leaders, parents, and human beings.
Through short stories drawn from real-life experiences, the book examines how childhood experiences, relationships, parenting, adversity, and life’s defining moments shape the way we think, behave, relate to others, and lead.
At its core is a simple truth: we cannot effectively lead others without first doing the inner work ourselves.
The book invites readers to look inward and examine the beliefs, emotional patterns, behaviours, and cycles they may be carrying forward without questioning. It encourages us to recognise what shaped us, take responsibility for what we choose to carry, and courageously break cycles that no longer serve us.
Through reflections on healing, self-awareness, personal responsibility, parenting, relationships, and human-centred leadership, A Thousand Times Held challenges us to become more intentional about how we relate to ourselves and others.
Because the work of becoming whole is not only personal. It influences how we love, how we parent, how we lead, and ultimately, what we pass on to the generations that follow.
A Thousand Times Held is an invitation to do the inner work required to become whole—and to use that wholeness to create healthier relationships, raise more conscious generations, and lead with greater empathy, courage, and humanity.
Because before we can lead others well, we must first learn to lead ourselves.THE OLD MAN AND FARAWAY OCEAN BY FEST...
