Warrior: My Path to Being Brave
by Lisa GuerreroLisa Guerrero chronicles her iconic career—from dealing with harassment as a sports broadcaster to chasing &“bad guys&” for Inside Edition—and proves that through small, daily acts, bravery is a muscle we can strengthen over time.I&’ve been a cheerleader. A corporate executive. A Barbie Doll. A sportscaster. A soap opera vixen. A sideline reporter. A Playboy cover model. A Diamond Diva. A red-carpet correspondent. An investigative journalist. A disrupter. I made Dennis Rodman cry. I&’ve interviewed three presidents and hundreds of athletes. I costarred in a viral video that has one billion views. I sued the New England Patriots--and won. I tracked down a murderer. I was hit by a car. I butted heads with Barbara Walters. I even played myself in a movie starring Brad Pitt. During her career in sports broadcasting, Guerrero covered Super Bowls, Worlds Series, NBA Finals, and interviewed sports superstars. From the outside it seemed glamourous, but often she was miserable, told to smile more, argue less, and show a lot of leg and cleavage. Colleagues would joke—sometimes on national TV—that she clinched big interviews because of sexual acts rather than talent. She made a mistake on air during the opening game on Monday Night Football that cost her her sportscasting career... and almost her life. Fast forward a few years, and Guerrero has achieved phenomenal success as Inside Edition's Chief Investigative Correspondent. Her stories have led to arrests, changed federal legislation and policies at Fortune 500 companies, and helped shine a light on crime, scams, child abuse, and even cold case murders. And in the last decade alone, she has won over thirty-five national journalism honors and awards. Today, Guerrero is bombarded with emails and direct messages from people of every generation who all want to know the same thing: &“How are you so brave? How can I be brave too?&” Women dealing with husbands, friends, in-laws, co-workers, and bosses ask for the courage to request raises, be taken seriously at meetings, and stand up to abusive spouses. Teens and pre-teens ask for advice on dealing with bullies, teachers, and parents. Warrior—filled with the incisive stories of failure, struggles, challenges, perseverance, and finally, success—is her answer.

Was immer geschehen ist, ist Gerechtigkeit
by Dada BhagwanWenn du sagst, dass alles, was geschieht, Gerechtigkeit ist, wirst du keine Fragen mehr haben. Dennoch sind die Menschen auf der Suche nach Gerechtigkeit und wünschen sich gleichzeitig die Befreiung. Das ist widersprüchlich. Du kannst nicht beides haben. Wo Fragen aufhören beginnt die Befreiung. In dieser unserer Wissenschaft, genannt Akram Vignan (das stufenlose Wissen des Selbst), bleiben keine Fragen übrig. Deshalb ist es für Menschen so einfach, ihr zu folgen. Param Pujya Dadashri (Meister der spirituellen Wissenschaft) hat der Welt die außergewöhnliche Entdeckung gegeben, dass es in dieser Welt niemals Ungerechtigkeit gibt. Alles, was geschehen ist, ist Gerechtigkeit. Die Natur weicht niemals von der Gerechtigkeit ab. Die Natur ist keine Person oder ein Gott, der unter irgendeinem Einfluss steht. Natur bedeutet, die sich bedingenden Umstände. So viele Umstände müssen stimmen, damit eine Aufgabe erfüllt werden kann.

Wat is jou Nalatenskap? 101 Idees om 'n Nalatenskap te skep en bou
by Anca IoviţăIs jy by ‘n kruispad? Wonder jy wat jy met jou lewe met doen? Sal die lewe makliker wees as jy net bietjie aanwysings kon kry? Selfs al gesels mense nie oor nalatenskappe nie, is hierdie die vrae wat gedurende die stil ure van die nag in amper almal se gedagtes maal. Veral in dié van ons wat sekere mylpale bereik soos volwassenheid, middeljare en aftrede. Het jy al ooit die proses van metamorfose van ‘n skoenlapper opgelet? Om uit die kokon te kom is moeilik en pynlik. Jy mag dink jy doen die skoenlapper ‘n guns as jy die kokon se boonste deel oop knip sodat dit makliker kan uitkom, maar as jy dit doen sal die skoenlapper se vlerke nie behoorlik ontwikkel nie en dit sal kruppel wees vir die res van sy lewe. Stribbeling en uitdagings is nodig vir metamorfose om plaas te vind. Hulle is ook nodig vir die skep en bou van ‘n nalatenskap.

Watch and Learn: How I Turned Hollywood Upside Down with Netflix, Redbox, and MoviePass—Lessons in Disruption
by Mitch LoweGet an inside perspective on the entertainment distribution revolution from an executive who lived it with Netflix, Redbox, and MoviePass, and who continues to consult, speak, and share his unique understanding of how to disrupt the status quo and adapt to what the customer wants. When Warner Brothers announced they'd be streaming all their new 2021 theatrical releases simultaneously on HBO Max, it sent shock waves through the entertainment industry. But it was also an inevitable decision, and one soon to be copied by the other major studios scrambling to keep up with just how radically the way we watch movies has changed over the past two decades. Mitch Lowe has been at the forefront of that revolution, helping to shape a world where you can watch whatever movie, wherever and whenever you want. Lowe was one of the founding executives at Netflix; served as president of Redbox, the DVD rental kiosks outside Walmart and supermarkets around the country; and as the CEO of MoviePass, the much-lauded monthly movie theater subscription that, even as it failed, changed the way movie theaters operate forever. Along the way, Lowe learned that genuine disruption doesn't always mean aggressive upheaval and overnight success. More often than not, true disruption is the result of perseverance, imagination, and a constantly evolving quest to understand what it is that customers really want. In Watch and Learn, Mitch Lowe will tell the inside story of the dramatic evolution of the entertainment business, from the days of early cable television, Beta, and VHS to a world where consumers have infinite choice and control of the movies they see. He'll also share personal stories from a wild ride that began with his dropping out of high school and living on the edge of conflict in an Israeli kibbutz, smuggling goods and money between Europe and the Middle East, and ultimately embracing Buddhism. Along the way readers will gain essential insights and lessons that extend far beyond the entertainment industry, rooted in Lowe's keen sense for seeing ahead of the curve and intuiting customer needs, and applicable to anyone who has ambitions to disrupt and succeed: from leading with love and imagination, to reinforcing the intrinsic power of gut instinct with data and testing, to the ultimate competitive advantage of getting closest to the customer, and the value of perseverance and tinkering. "Whether you're just starting out in business or already have a long track record of success, you'll find plenty to learn from a man who has seen it all, done most of it, and met everyone. You'll see . . . there's nobody else like Mitch." —from the Foreword by Marc Randolph, Co-founder and First CEO of Netflix, and author of That Will Never Work: The Birth of Netflix and the Amazing Life of an Idea
