Book Building a Thriving Family

Download or read book Building a Thriving Family written by Lloyd & Linda Reeb and published by Independent Publisher. This book was released on 2022-07-20 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR BUILDING A THRIVING FAMILY PLAN There is a difference between a healthy family and a thriving family. Authors Linda and Lloyd Reeb have dedicated countless hours to walking alongside families as they navigate the journey toward thriving. This book explores the best practices for creating a thriving family plan that will include and celebrate the unique qualities of your family—no one-size-fits-all approach exists when it comes to family dynamics. In conjunction with the other two books in the family-focused series (Halftime for Couples and Finally Connected), this workbook-style guide will help you and your family explore the six key components of a thriving family plan: leadership, values, family of unique individuals, serving, legacy, and celebrating. No matter what your starting point is, this resource will help you and your family have conversations to get clear on your dreams and desires, get free from what’s holding you back, and get going on building a thriving family together. LINDA AND LLOYD REEB have been married over thirty years, enjoy living near Charlotte, NC, and have grown children and grandchildren. Linda was a stay-at-home mom and a part-time dental assistant until the children started leaving for college. After exploring her calling and realizing her passion to encourage moms of young children, she transitioned into a mentoring role at MomsMentoring (momsmentoring.com). That is her primary occupation today. Lloyd was a successful real estate developer and owner of luxury senior housing facilities in 1993 when his idea of success changed dramatically and his life’s focus shifted to second-half significance. He spends most of his time now speaking and leading workshops around the world and coaching men and women through the Halftime journey. He is also the author of The Second Half: Real stories, Real adventures, Real significance, a coffee-table book packed with stories of people making a difference in their second half. His first book, From Success to Significance: When the Pursuit of Success Isn’t Enough, is a roadmap for midlife transition.

Book Thrive

Download or read book Thrive written by Arianna Huffington and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2014-03-25 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Thrive, Arianna Huffington makes an impassioned and compelling case for the need to redefine what it means to be successful in today's world. Arianna Huffington's personal wake-up call came in the form of a broken cheekbone and a nasty gash over her eye--the result of a fall brought on by exhaustion and lack of sleep. As the cofounder and editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post Media Group--one of the fastest growing media companies in the world--celebrated as one of the world's most influential women, and gracing the covers of magazines, she was, by any traditional measure, extraordinarily successful. Yet as she found herself going from brain MRI to CAT scan to echocardiogram, to find out if there was any underlying medical problem beyond exhaustion, she wondered is this really what success feels like? As more and more people are coming to realize, there is far more to living a truly successful life than just earning a bigger salary and capturing a corner office. Our relentless pursuit of the two traditional metrics of success--money and power--has led to an epidemic of burnout and stress-related illnesses, and an erosion in the quality of our relationships, family life, and, ironically, our careers. In being connected to the world 24/7, we're losing our connection to what truly matters. Our current definition of success is, as Thrive shows, literally killing us. We need a new way forward. In a commencement address Arianna gave at Smith College in the spring of 2013, she likened our drive for money and power to two legs of a three-legged stool. They may hold us up temporarily, but sooner or later we're going to topple over. We need a third leg--a third metric for defining success--to truly thrive. That third metric, she writes in Thrive, includes our well-being, our ability to draw on our intuition and inner wisdom, our sense of wonder, and our capacity for compassion and giving. As Arianna points out, our eulogies celebrate our lives very differently from the way society defines success. They don't commemorate our long hours in the office, our promotions, or our sterling PowerPoint presentations as we relentlessly raced to climb up the career ladder. They are not about our resumes--they are about cherished memories, shared adventures, small kindnesses and acts of generosity, lifelong passions, and the things that made us laugh. In this deeply personal book, Arianna talks candidly about her own challenges with managing time and prioritizing the demands of a career and raising two daughters--of juggling business deadlines and family crises, a harried dance that led to her collapse and to her "aha moment." Drawing on the latest groundbreaking research and scientific findings in the fields of psychology, sports, sleep, and physiology that show the profound and transformative effects of meditation, mindfulness, unplugging, and giving, Arianna shows us the way to a revolution in our culture, our thinking, our workplace, and our lives.

Download or read book Take Back Your Family written by Jefferson Bethke and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Jefferson Bethke delivers a powerful critique of the Western notion of the nuclear family and calls us to a sweeping new paradigm that brings not only longed-for stability but also radical blessings to the world. The West's multi-century experiment with the nuclear family has failed. Its toxic hyper-individualism has left us with an unprecedented number of broken homes and rampant confusion over what a family is supposed to be. Jefferson Bethke delivers the solution we've been seeking: a plan for taking back our families from the modern myth that has derailed us and a vision for returning to the life-giving, biblical model of multi-generational teams. In Take Back Your Family, Bethke uncovers the historic events that led to our obsession with the nuclear family, then exposes the devastating effects of our current "me culture." Now, writing from the visceral perspective of a father with three young children, he shares the values and strategies he and his family lean on in their quest to live as a community bonded by a shared mission, committed to mutually growing and thriving together. By returning to God's original design for families on earth, he says, we can participate in the kingdom work that restores and fulfills our innermost desires for connection, contentment, and meaning.
