Boys Don't Tell: Ending the Silence of Abuse
by Randy Ellison&“[A] fiercely honest memoir . . . [a] difficult story of healing to help others find the strength to tell their own stories and heal themselves.&” —National Association of Adult Survivors of Child Abuse American society is in the midst of a crisis, an epidemic of violence, secrets, and shame. The victims reside in every town, on every street. Finding it easier to remain in denial than to confront this reality, the public minimizes the emotional aftermath of sexual abuse of children and provides few programs to help heal those afflicted. Recounting the author&’s journey through a minefield based on his own denial, Boys Don&’t Tell takes a subjective look back at a life distorted by the effects of child sexual abuse and offers insight as to why victims find it so difficult to &“just get over it and move on.&” Through the eyes and emotions of the author, it reveals his abuse as a teenager by a trusted minister and mentor, then recounts years of therapy, a formal complaint to the Church, and a lawsuit settled in mediation. Boys Don&’t Tell covers the nature of addictions, their impact, and the difficulty and reward in defeating them. Excruciatingly honest, it creates an openness that can facilitate healing in others. Boys Don&’t Tell gives voice to an estimated 20 million male survivors, and offers loved ones, professionals, church and organizational leaders the opportunity to understand the impact of child sexual abuse. &“Through his public speaking and advocacy work on behalf of survivors in Oregon and across the country, and through his book, Boys Don&’t Tell, Randy embodies the transformation of childhood trauma.&” —The Good Men Project

BPM - Driving Innovation in a Digital World (Management for Professionals)
by Jan Vom Brocke Theresa SchmiedelThis book shows how business process management (BPM), as a management discipline at the intersection of IT and Business, can help organizations to master digital innovations and transformations. At the same time, it discusses how BPM needs to be further developed to successfully act as a driver for innovation in a digital world. In recent decades, BPM has proven extremely successful in managing both continuous and radical improvements in many sectors and business areas. While the digital age brings tremendous new opportunities, it also brings the specific challenge of correctly positioning and scoping BPM in organizations. This book shows how to leverage BPM to drive business innovation in the digital age. It brings together the views of the world's leading experts on BPM and also presents a number of practical cases. It addresses mangers as well as academics who share an interest in digital innovation and business process management. The book covers topics such as BPM and big data, BPM and the Internet of Things, and BPM and social media. While these technological and methodological aspects are key to BPM, process experts are also aware that further nontechnical organizational capabilities are required for successful innovation. The ideas presented in this book have helped us a lot while implementing process innovations in our global Logistics Service Center. Joachim Gantner, Director IT Services, Swarovski AG Managing Processes - everyone talks about it, very few really know how to make it work in today's agile and competitive world. It is good to see so many leading experts taking on the challenge in this book. Cornelius Clauser, Chief Process Officer, SAP SE This book provides worthwhile readings on new developments in advanced process analytics and process modelling including practical applications - food for thought how to succeed in the digital age. Ralf Diekmann, Head of Business Excellence, Hilti AG This book is as an important step towards process innovation systems. I very much like to congratulate the editors and authors for presenting such an impressive scope of ideas for how to address the challenging, but very rewarding marriage of BPM and innovation. Professor Michael Rosemann, Queensland University of Technology

Brag!: The Art of Tooting Your Own Horn without Blowing It
by Peggy KlausBrag! is a whip smart tool kit--one that tampers with our beliefs about humility by defining bragging as an act of authenticity. Peggy Klaus, a Fortune 500 communication coach, sharpened her strategies in Hollywood, "the bragging capitol of the world," where she learned the art of tooting your horn, without blowing it. "To brag is to talk about your best self with pride and passion in a conversational manner." explains Klaus.She includes a snappy "Bragging Dictionary" with highly practical techniques including instructions for the "Bragalogue," a brief memorable elevator pitch and a "Brag bag," the collection of your greatest hits with colorful details that can be easily accessed. Bragging rights and responsibilities are surveyed in a variety of situations:the co-worker who takes credit, techno-bragging online, performance reviews, job interviews and working a room. Klaus peppers her points with examples from her coaching sessions and seminars, sample dialogues and self-assessments. Although several examples may seem too studied, Klaus has much to brag about. This is a book that will change the way you think about the slippery skill of selling yourself. --Barbara Mackoff
Brag Better: Master the Art of Fearless Self-Promotion
by Meredith FinemanThis effortless and unapologetic approach to self-promotion will manage your anxiety and allow you to champion yourself. Does talking about your accomplishments feel scary or icky because you're worried people will think you're "obnoxious"?Does it feel more natural to "put your head down and do the work"?Are you tired of watching the loudest people in your industry get disproportionate praise and rewards?If you answered "yes" to any of the above, you might be self-sabotaging. You need to learn to Brag Better. Meredith Fineman has built a career working with "The Qualified Quiet": smart people who struggle to talk about themselves and thus go underestimated or unrecognized. Now, she shares the surefire and anxiety-proof strategies that have helped her clients effectively communicate their achievements and skillsets to others.Bragging Better doesn't require false bravado, talking over people, or pretending to be more qualified than you are. Instead, Fineman advocates finding quiet confidence in your opinions, abilities, and background, and then turning up the volume. In this book, you will learn the career-changing tools she's developed over the past decade that make bragging feel easy, including: • Get remembered by focusing your personal brand and voice on key adjectives (like "effective, subtle, and edgy") • Practice explaining what you do in simple, sticky terms to earn respect and recognition from the public and people at work. • Eliminate words that undermine your work and find better ones--like your bio saying you're "trying" or "attempting" to do something instead that you ARE doing it.If you're ready to begin Bragging Better--to telling the truth about your accomplishments with grace and confidence--this book is for you.
Brahmacharya: Celibacy Attained With Understanding
by Dada BhagwanIn the book “Brahmacharya: Celibacy With Right Understanding”, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dada Bhagwan offers unique insight into the definition of celibacy and the benefits of brahmacharya.He clarifies common misunderstandings about celibacy, answering questions such as: “How do you define celibacy?”, “What are the spiritual reasons for abstinence from sex, and what are the benefits of abstinence?”, “Does spiritual power increase from brahmacharya, and how is celibacy related to spirituality and practice?”, “Must one take a vow of celibacy to practice brahmacharya?” This book offers a clear road map to celibacy meaning and celibacy benefits, and is an invaluable resource for those wanting to learn how to become more spiritual through the practice of brahmacharya.
Brahmacharya Attained Through Understanding (Volume Two)
by Dada BhagwanEach and every human being has the capacity to identify his Soul and attain salvation. However, one severe obstacle on this path could be sexual attraction/ infatuation. None other than a Gnani Purush (the enlightened one) can help us understand the science behind sexual attraction and help us get rid of it. In the book, Dadashri, the Gnani Purush has discussed the importance of celibacy in the path of salvation…and how it can be achieved even by the married couples. The nature of sexuality, its present life dangers, as well as potential dangers for the lives to come are described by the Gnani and the beneficial effects of brahmacharya are shown with scientific exactness. Precise understanding of brahmacharya, methods by eradicating the root cause of sexuality, is given to the seeker. In part 1 of the book, Dadashri has warned the married people of infidelity (by thoughts and actions), explained the risks thereof, emphasized on how the subtlest form of infidelity/attraction would divert us from the path of spirituality. For married people, remaining utmost faithful to his/her partner is equivalent to celibacy. In part 2 of the book, Dadashri, has discussed about his enlightened Self that moves about unbound by any circumstance of the material world, unveils for us all ! He initiates the cause brahmacharya in the light of this absolute vision and experiential bliss for all who come to him seeking freedom from the clutches of sexuality and its misery. In this environment rampant with profuse sexuality and its vibrations, the Gnani Purush’s extraordinary and effective speech demolishes all elements of sexuality and illusion of the seeker and makes him still in brahmacharya with understanding.
Brahmacharya (Sanxipt): બ્રહ્મચર્ય (સંક્ષિપ્ત)
by Dada Bhagwanતમને ચોરી કરવી ગમે? તમને જુઠું બોલવું ગમે? તમને કોઈને મારી નાખવાનું (હિંસા) ગમે? તો પછી વિષયમાં એવું શું છે કે તે પોતાને ગમે છે? તે ફક્ત રોંગ બિલીફના કારણે છે. બીજાઓએ કહ્યું તેથી તમે પણ માનો છો કે વિષયમાં પરમ સુખ છે. પણ તે સત્ય નથી. સ્વાભાવિક રીતે વિચારો, શું તમારી બીજી ઇન્દ્રિયોને તે ગમે છે? શું આંખોને તે ગમે છે? શું કાનો સાંભળે છે ત્યારે તેમને તે ગમે છે? શું જીભ ચાટે તો તે મીઠું લાગે છે? નાકને તે ખરેખર ગમતું હશે, નહિ? કોઈ પણ ઇન્દ્રિયને તે ગમતું નથી. દરેક માણસે વિષયનું પરીણામ શું છે અને બ્રહ્મચર્ય પાળવાના શા ફાયદા છે તે ઓળખવા જોઈએ. પોતાના કાયદેસરના સાથીદાર સાથે પણ ફક્ત એક વખત વિષય ભોગવવાથી, લાખો જીવોની હિંસા થાય છે; અને પોતાના લગ્નના સાથીદાર સિવાય બીજા કોઈ સાથેનો વિષય નરકમાં જવાનું કારણ છે. દરેક જણ સહમત થાય છે કે બ્રહ્મચર્ય પાળવું જોઈએ. પરંતુ તે પાળવું કેમ? કોઈએ કદી તેનો રસ્તો બતાવ્યો નથી. આ પુસ્તકમાં તમે જોશો કે બ્રહ્મચર્ય પાળવાના સચોટ અને સ્પષ્ટ રસ્તા બતાવ્યા છે. વર્તમાન અને ભવિષ્યના વિષયના ભયંકર જોખમ વાંચીને લોકોને ધક્કો લાગશે અને તેઓ કહેશે “અમને આની જાણ જ ન હતી.”

Brain Changer: How Harnessing Your Brain's Power to Adapt Can Change Your Life
by David DisalvoLet's be honest. You've tried the sticky-note inspirations, the motivational calendar, and the cute (but ineffective) &“carpe diem" mug—yet your attitude hasn't changed. It's time to apply cutting-edge science to the challenges of daily life. While everyone desires self-improvement, we are quickly frustrated when trying to implement the contradictory philosophies of self-appointed self-help gurus. Too often, their advice is based on anecdote and personal opinion, not real research. Bestselling author of What Makes Your Brain Happy and Why You Should Do the Opposite David DiSalvo returns with Brain Changer: How Harnessing Your Brain's Power to Adapt Can Change Your Life. Drawing on the latest research in neuroscience, cognitive psychology, behavioral economics, communications, and even marketing, DiSalvo replaces self-help with &“science help." He demonstrates how the brain's enormous capacity to adapt is the most crucial factor influencing how we feel and act—a factor that we can control to change our lives. Findings show our brains are fluid and function much like a feedback loop: stimulants from both our environment and from within ourselves catalyze changes in the brain's response. That response then elicits additional inputs that the brain identifies and analyzes to further tailor its response. DiSalvo shows that the greatest internal tool we have to affect the feedback loop is metacognition (&“thinking about thinking"). Littered with relatable examples and tackling major aspects of our lives including relationships, careers, physical health, and personal development, Brain Changer shows you how to harness metacognition to enrich your life.
