Shuttler's Flick: Making Every Match Count
by Pullela Gopichand Priya Kumar'But the return is not always easy, especially when the world has moved on without you, when the people who were rooting for you have now found other heroes to support.' When Pullela Gopichand had to undergo a risky arthroscopic surgery, chances of his full recovery were not great. His return to the badminton court seemed a far-fetched dream. The odds were stacked against him. Then, in 1998, he won the bronze in the Commonwealth Games. His biggest win was yet to come. In 2001, Pullela became the second Indian to win the All England Championship. This is the story we know. From not being able to walk to winning the most prestigious title in badminton, this is Pullela the player. But his success hasn&’t stopped at just him. The Pullela Gopichand Badminton Academy, set up in 2008, boasts of a host of World No. 1s including Saina Nehwal and Srikanth Kidambi and World Badminton Champion PV Sindhu. What is it about his teachings that propels players right to the top? In his official autobiography, we meet Pullela the coach. Through his own voice, as well as those of his students, mother, and wife, we get a look at the mind that revolutionised the game. We are shown not only what it takes to get to the top, but also, and more importantly, how to stay there. With the principles of his play laid bare, we are invited to apply them to our own everyday lives. In doing so, we ask questions, take accountability for our actions and perhaps find the answer to the greatest question of all—what does it take to become a champion?

The Shy Single: A Bold Guide to Dating for the Less-than-Bold Dater
by Bonnie Jacobson Sandra J. GordonNearly 50 percent of adults in the United States describe themselves as chronically shy, and an even larger number are single. These numbers prove what we already know: There are a lot of us sitting home alone, letting the dating world pass us by. But it doesn't have to be that way! In The Shy Single, New York psychologist Bonnie Jacobson outlines her breakthrough program that helps shy men and women securely maneuver any social situation. At the heart of the book is her confidence-boosting plan for managing the three stages of a shyness attack. A dating profile quiz, journaling exercises, cumulative courage-rating scores, and real testimonies from Dr. Jacobson's extraordinarily popular shyness workshops round out the "coach's corner" advice for shy daters on how to: - Work a room and get past awkward introductions - Participate in dinner conversations and bridge uncomfortable silences - Ask someone out - End a date gracefully - Handle sexual advances The aim of The Shy Single is not to make us un-shy, but to enable us to function despite our pounding hearts and sweaty palms. With small, manageable steps, we can gain self-assurance and learn how to finesse awkward or possibly embarrassing situations. Navigate a room with small talk? No problem. Ask out a coworker? No sweat. Make the first move in an intimate situation? You bet. From going online to declining a second date to determining whether we've found "the one," Dr. Jacobson shows us that dating happiness isn't just for other, more outgoing people--it's for us.

Si seulement ma mère m’avait dit... (ou peut-être que je n’écoutais pas): 101 Trésors de Sagesse Que j’ai fini par découvrir moi-même
by Dr Rosie KuhnCe n’est pas comme si nous décidons d’avoir les enfants pour les déstabiliser, rendre leur existence misérable et ruiner toute leur chance d’être heureux. Ce n’est pas non plus, comme si nous souhaitons que le pire arrive à nos enfants, comme un sortilège noir craché dans un chaudron. Il ne s’agit pas du tout de cela. Le fait est que la plupart d’entre nous avons été créés par nos parents au nom de l’amour. L’espoir en une vie meilleure que celle que chaque parent a vécue est ce qu’ils nourrissent pour nous : leurs petits bouts de chou. Le fait cependant est que, le meilleur que chaque parent pourrait donner en tant que parent satisfait rarement les demandes de chaque enfant. La vie est trop grande. La complexité même d’une seule vie humaine constitue un grand défi. Comment savons-nous réellement ce dont nos enfants ont besoin ou ce qu’ils désirent de nous ? Puisse ce petit livre vous rappeler les nombreux trésors de sagesse dont vous avez certainement entendu parler des parents, grands-parents, enseignants, frères et sœurs, ou ceux que vous avez découverts vous-mêmes. Et, peut-être qu’il y aura certains que vous transmettrez à vos enfants avec plaisir, s’ils écoutent.
