Primitive: Tapping the Primal Drive That Powers the World's Most Successful People
by Marco Greenberg"Marco Greenberg's Primitive captures insights and advice that everyone can use to thrive in the constantly evolving workplace."--Daniel H. Pink, New York Times bestselling author of When, Drive and To Sell Is HumanAs a close advisor to visionary startup founders and established CEOs, Marco Greenberg discovered something about the most successful people he knew: They had remarkable instincts, and they trusted them. They had an intuitive grasp of when to ignore convention. No matter how sophisticated, they could access something else--something primitive.It's a loaded term. But as Greenberg dug deeper, he saw a mindset that helped certain people to overcome challenges that stopped others cold. From a former roadie for the rap group N.W.A to a rock-star brain surgeon, from young tech billionaires to a top-ten college football coach, Greenberg demonstrates how a range of successful people--those he calls "primitives"--ignore what they "should" do and instead tap a primal drive to power ahead. At a moment when old institutions are being swept away, we can't afford to play by the same civilized rule book. Primitive helps us understand how some of our deepest, inborn traits are essential to navigating this world of dizzying change.The key is to go ROAMING: to be Relentless in pursuing our biggest goals; to have the courage to be Oppositional; and to choose an Agnostic approach rather than specialize. To adopt a Messianic spirit, so your work becomes not just a job but a true calling; to embrace the advantages of being Insecure; and to reap the benefits of sometimes acting a little Nuts; and finally, to realize that being Gallant and noble in following one's passions delivers the ultimate rewards.At any stage of your career, making primitive moves can be the key to success in work and in life.

Prince in a Pastry Shop
by Marek BienczykIn a beautifully illustrated story for adults that is playful, philosophical, and with a wink of naughtiness, two characters—the Not-So-Little-Prince and Prickly Pear—consider the nature of happiness.Much more than a tale of sweet indulgence, Prince in a Pastry Shop touches on a fundamental question important to us all, from preschooler to pensioner: what does it mean to be happy? Is happiness to be found in the smallest, most visceral of experiences like eating a sugar-dusted donut? Can we truly experience happiness while there is suffering in the world? Is there a great cosmic balance that demands for every happy moment there also be a moment of sorrow? Can we be happy knowing that it&’s a fleeting condition? Can we really know and understand happiness while we&’re experiencing it? "Happiness is nothing but trouble,&” says the Prince. For Prickly Pear, happiness simply tastes like a cupcake or profiterole.Writer Marek Bieńczyk, the winner of the Nike prize, the most important literature award in Poland, joins with the brilliant Polish illustrator Joanna Concejo whose detailed pencil drawings create a wonderland, where sitting at a café table morphs into a dreamscape with animals, a borderland between waking and dreaming.With a very light touch Prince in a Pastry Shop asks one of the most profound questions of our existence: is it enough to appreciate each moment of sweetness—and at what cost—or must we be active in an unforgiving world to find contentment.

The Prince of Peace: Meditations
by Alban GoodierA collection of short essays by Archbishop Alban about the events of the life of Christ as described in the Gospels.THIS little book of meditations is but one more of very many. Our minds are all different, our method of prayer is different in every case. On this account it partly is that no prayer-book, still more no single collection of meditations, can hope to satisfy all alike. Nor can it even hope to satisfy any single soul, if that soul expects to find in it what prayer alone can give. All it can hope to do is to suggest such matter as may contain substance, such, too, as may help the soul of prayer in its own way to “raise its mind and heart to God.”

Princes, Frogs and Ugly Sisters
by Dr Allan HunterAnalyzing the ways in which the Grimm brothers' tales provide real, vital insights into how to live more happily, understand the need for personal and psychological growth, and find that significant other, this innovative study revives the true healing nature of these beloved tales. Combining enjoyment of these tales with insightful research, this exploration uses actual case histories to show how the odd and bizarre episodes in fairy tales are actually astounding renditions of human behaviors that occur during times of crisis. It also shows how the six archetypal stages of psychological development are present both in these tales and in everyday life. Contrary to common, contemporary fairy tale re-creations, this study discusses how the Grimm brothers' stories deal with topics such as dysfunctional family dynamics, sexual jealousy, narcissism, incest, rape, and personal growth from trauma to wellness-noting that Cinderella didn't have a fairy godmother and frogs were never kissed.
Las Princesas cumplen 30, 40, 50 y más…
by Aurora Del Villar Laura Krieger¿Una princesa de 40 años? ¿Pues que no una característica de las princesas es su juventud eterna, cintura pequeña, piel radiante y labios rojos y frescos? ¡Eso no era lo que yo veía cuando me asomaba en el espejo! Una vez que se abre la conciencia, el camino hacia la liberación ha comenzado. El primer paso es darse cuenta de la realidad, a través del dolor o de la alegría. Esto fue lo que me “atrapó” y me encantó del trabajo de las princesas Aurora y Laura, porque usan la poderosa herramienta del sentido del humor para crear conciencia sobre un tema que produce miedo: La crisis de la mediana edad. El sentido del humor, la risa, la reflexión y la complicidad están presentes en este libro que leí, porque la palabra “princesa” me acariciaba los oídos, el alma y calmaba mis miedos. Me pareció una forma muy dulce de explorar un tema tan amargo: envejecer.
The Princess Diarist
by Carrie Fisher<P>The Princess Diarist is Carrie Fisher's intimate, hilarious and revealing recollection of what happened behind the scenes on one of the most famous film sets of all time, the first Star Wars movie. Named a PEOPLE Magazine Best Book of Fall 2016. <P>When Carrie Fisher recently discovered the journals she kept during the filming of the first Star Wars movie, she was astonished to see what they had preserved--plaintive love poems, unbridled musings with youthful naiveté, and a vulnerability that she barely recognized.

And today, as she reprises her most iconic role for the latest Star Wars trilogy, Fisher also ponders the joys and insanity of celebrity, and the absurdity of a life spawned by Hollywood royalty, only to be surpassed by her own outer-space royalty. <P>Laugh-out-loud hilarious and endlessly quotable, The Princess Diarist brims with the candor and introspection of a diary while offering shrewd insight into the type of stardom that few will ever experience. <P><b>A New York Times Bestseller</b>

Un personaje inolvidable que transformará tu visión de la vida para siempre. Esta fábula basada en hechos reales narra la historia de Pablo Príncipe, un joven inconformista y visionario que tras padecer una crisis existencial descubre su propósito de vida.

Principled Productivity: Why Ethical Treatment of Everyone in an Organization Will Result in Increased Productivity
by Gerald J. Watson Jr.This book demonstrates that ethical treatment of everyone in an organization: 1. Will increase productivity in all the functional activities of the organization as well as its members. 2. Will ensure the growth of the organization as a result of continuous improvements that may have been initiated by management but will be continuously improved by motivated employees. It achieves this by: 1. The presentation of examples from personal experience and a review of the literature. 2. Providing a list of critical questions for each function whose correct solutions will provide a metric that enables and establishes obtainable goals for improvement. This book is unique because it requires the decision-maker to examine each potential decision and ask the questions: 1. Do alternative methods exist that will achieve the desired goals, which will minimize the long-term adverse effects on affected employees and the future viability of the organization? 2. When is the appropriate time to implement this decision? 3. What is the best way to implement this decision? The decision may involve a reduction in force (RIF), a potential change in a vendor or a manufacturing process, the formation of a safety team, and/or the installation or modification of an incentive system. The decisions could be involved in manufacturing, logistics, quality, or healthcare. This work will benefit everyone in leadership positions in all branches of government, manufacturing, logistics, human relations, and healthcare, especially those working with frontline employees, staff, and customers.
Principles of Life: Living in Victory
by Travis G. Roberson“Principles of Life” provides the tangible leadership and guidance you must use daily, especially when confronted with situations and circumstances that may tempt you to choose the “easy way out”. The “easy way out” always leaves you vulnerable to grief, shame hurt, and despair. This choice will always act like a boomerang, leading you back to the life you are trying to leave behind. These rules alone, however, do not cause you to obey the principles—you follow these principles because you trust God’s Word. That is the Key! This book is based entirely on God’s Word. I speak from personal experience. These principles have become my lifestyle, and I am so very grateful that I was able to use them to strengthen me and deliver me from prison. They have blessed me to reach out to other people everywhere.

Prioritising Wellbeing and Self-Care in Higher Education: How We Can Do Things Differently to Disrupt Silence (Wellbeing and Self-care in Higher Education)
by Narelle LemonThis book illuminates international voices of those who feel empowered to do things differently in higher education, providing inspiration to those who are seeking guidance, reassurance, or a beacon of hope.Doing things differently comes with an awareness and curiosity to explore what can be. Increasingly, more and more professionals in higher education are choosing themselves, happiness, families, relationships, kindness, and compassion over arbitrary notions of institutional prestige, continuous pressure to overwork, and competitiveness with others. The chapters in this book do more than highlight flaws in the system, they call for proactive engagement in interrupting and reimagining what is broken. The authors share their own experiences as a way of encouraging readers to take small steps towards self-care, to notice their surroundings, and to embrace change as an empowering tool. The focus is on becoming the change we aspire to see, with a collective readiness to instigate positive transformations.Sharing ambitious ideas to encourage change, this book is a valuable resource for those seeking to enhance their self-care and wellbeing in the higher education context, and for those seeking to engage with others in support of these efforts.
The Priority List
by David MenascheBased on a beloved teacher's most popular lesson, The Priority List is a bold, inspirational story of learning, love, and legacy that challenges us to ask: What truly matters in life? David Menasche lived for his work as a high school English teacher. His passion inspired his students, and between lessons on Shakespeare and sentence structure, he forged a unique bond with his kids, buoying them through personal struggles while sharing valuable life lessons. When a six-year battle with brain cancer ultimately stole David's vision, memory, mobility, and--most tragically of all--his ability to continue teaching, he was devastated by the thought that he would no longer have the chance to impact his students' lives each day. But teaching is something Menasche just couldn't quit. Undaunted by the difficult road ahead of him, he decided to end his treatments and make life his classroom. Cancer had robbed him of his past and would most certainly take his future; he wouldn't allow it to steal his present. He turned to Facebook with an audacious plan: a journey across America-- by bus, by train, by red-tipped cane--in hopes of seeing firsthand how his kids were faring in life. Had he made a difference? Within forty-eight hours of posting, former students in more than fifty cities replied with offers of support and shelter. Traveling more than eight thousand miles from Miami to New York, to America's heartland and San Francisco's Golden Gate, and visiting hundreds of his students, David's fearless journey explores the things we all want and need out of life--family, security, independence, love, adventure--and forces us to stop to consider our own Priority List.
The Prison Meditations of Father Alfred Delp
by Fr. Alfred DelpClassic reflections on gospel wisdom from a modern martyr show the ongoing relevance of the gospel in an age of idolatrous power and capricious violence.“Disturbing reminders...that pious formulas and clichés are not enough to combat evil.”—Xavier Rynne, The New Yorker“What is most characteristic about these writings...is their absolute honesty and the absolute sincerity of their passion for man....Some of the most powerful spiritual writing of recent times.”—Walter Arnold, Commonwealth“A searching commentary....These meditations of a priest ought to become the foci of those of every layman.”—Eldon Talley, Cross Currents“Must rank as one of the great human and spiritual documents of our time.”—The Boston Pilot
