And for just as long as Mark has been speaking to groups, attendees have asked for that Giraffe Philosophy to be detailed in writing. In July of 2016 Mark released Standing Tall to meet that pent up demand. It instantly hit Best Seller on Amazon. Over 1000 people who have been through Mark s course have shared and many insisted that this profoundly simple Giraffe Philosophy should also be taught to children and in schools. Joey The Giraffe Stands Tall was written to meet that demand. The Author Mark Januszewski lives on Kauai, Hawaii and graduated American International College in 1971 as a double major. He holds degrees in English and Education. Mark has simultaneously educated and entertained audiences internationally since 1995. His power packed workshops have been described as both riveting and unique. As the old saying goes, the proof is in the printout and the printout on Mark is this clear. The last 54 workshops he s done have sold out months in advance. Mark hosts two live events per year on Kauai and both are sold out six months in advance including the 2016 sessions."

Download or read book Standing Tall written by Mark Januszewski and published by Mark Januszewski. This book was released on 2018-08 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-Improvement? Everybody knows there are hundreds of self-help books that promise life-changing information, happiness and affluence. It is an $11 billion industry. These books give us hope, especially those that are artfully peppered with rags-to-riches stories. This is not one of those books. Let's face it, the hope fades a few weeks after we finish the book and very little, if anything, really changes. So what kind of book is this? It will challenge you but with challenge comes change. As Tom "Big Al" Schreiter, [3 million books sold], declared, ""How to build character? Mark J shows us how in this story of personal development. Warning. Working through this book takes effort, but the result will last a lifetime. A great book." The Discovery A chance meeting in 1994 led Mark to a discovery. The discovery? That an easy to make and easy to keep promise daily would lead to a skill making change effortless. Little did Mark know that chance meeting and keeping a promise daily would also lead to the 13 Riches of Life, move him from bankrupt to beach front and doing what he loves daily. The promise is really is easy to keep and it's easy not to keep. That's the challenge. At the core of the discovery was a very simple idea. We must grow in character before we can acquire authentic wealth that last and perpetuates. At that meeting Mark was handed a hand-written version the Ancient Verities and The Map to the 13 Riches of Life. He was told the Map to Riches was of no value if he did not master the Verities, grow his character and stand tall in the seven basic truths that yield wealth effortless. The Work Mark had read lots of "those self-help books" and found, while some offered a good thoughts or ideas, there was no daily plan. Everybody knows a vision without a plan is a fairytale. What really sets this book apart in addition to the Seven Basic Truths the truly wealthy know is a specific, daily plan in the form of a 98-page workbook. The workbook, available in all additions, guides you with a very short checklist so anyone can master the Verities and then effortlessly navigate The Map, also included, to the 13 Riches in Life. Let's Make It Easy For Everyone A survey was conducted to discern what would be the best way to make the book and workbook available. Some people wanted the workbook included in the book so the charting of their progress and the material were together. Others felt it should be separate because they did not want to write in a book. And, a third group, those who enjoy ebooks, would have the daily plan [it appears in all versions], but no way to do the writing required to acquire the 13 Riches. Instead of trying to find the best choice, Mark decided to make it easy for everyone. If you write in books, grab the paperback version. If you don't like writing in books or really enjoy ebooks, just head over to markjbooks.com and you can download the workbook instantly.
Download or read book Much Loved written by Mark Nixon and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Award-winning photographer Mark Nixon has created a trove of quirky and nostalgic portraits of teddy bears and other stuffed animals that have been lovingly abused after years of play. MuchLoved collects 60 of these images along with their accompanying background tales. An exhibit in the photographer’s studio led to a small sensation on the Internet when a few of the pictures circulated unofficially on scores of blogs and on many legitimate news sites. Viewers have been intrigued by the funny, bittersweet images and their ironic juxtaposition of childhood innocence and aged, loving wear and tear. When you see these teddy bears and bunnies with missing noses and undone stuffing, you can’t help but think back to childhood and its earliest companions who asked for nothing and gave a lot back. Praise for Much Loved: “Much Loved is impossibly endearing in its entirety.” —Brain Pickings

Book excerpt: Over the course of his legal career, Andy Carpenter has lost a few cases. But that doesn't mean he forgets his clients. Andy has always been convinced that Joey Desimone, a man convicted of murder nine years ago, was innocent and believes that Joey's family's connections to organized crime played a pivotal role in his conviction. While there isn't much Andy can do for him while he serves out his prison sentence, Joey suggests that he check up on Joey's elderly uncle. He'd rather not, but as a favor to Joey, Andy agrees to take his dog, Tara, on a few visits. The old man's memory is going, but when Andy tries to explain why he's there, it jogs something in the man's mind, and his comments leave Andy wondering if Uncle Nick is confused, or if he just might hold the key to Joey's freedom after all this time. Andy grabs on to this thread of possibility and follows it into a world where the oath of silence is stronger than blood ties, and where people will do anything to make sure their secrets are kept. Riveting, suspenseful, and highly entertaining, Leader of the Pack is bestseller David Rosenfelt's latest entry in his much-beloved Andy Carpenter series.

Download or read book Generation Friends written by Saul Austerlitz and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praised by the New Yorker and New York magazine, Saul Austerlitz’s fascinating behind-the-scenes look at Friends, is, according to Newsweek, the “next best thing” to a cast reunion. In September 1994, six friends sat down in their favorite coffee shop and began bantering about sex, relationships, jobs, and just about everything else. A quarter of a century later, new fans are still finding their way into the lives of Rachel, Ross, Joey, Chandler, Monica, and Phoebe, and thanks to the show’s immensely talented creators, its intimate understanding of its youthful audience, and its reign during network television’s last moment of dominance, Friends has become the most influential and beloved show of its era. Friends has never gone on a break, and this is the story of how it all happened. Noted pop culture historian Saul Austerlitz utilizes exclusive interviews with creators David Crane and Marta Kauffman, executive producer Kevin Bright, director James Burrows, and many other producers, writers, and cast members to tell the story of Friends’ creation, its remarkable decade-long run, and its astonishing Netflix-fueled afterlife. Readers will go behind the scenes to hear from the people who were present as the show was developed and cast, written and filmed. There will be talk of trivia contests, prom videos, trips to London, Super Bowls, lesbian weddings, wildly popular hairstyles, superstar cameos, mad dashes to the airport, and million-dollar contracts. They’ll also discover surprising details—that Monica and Joey were the show’s original romantic couple, how Danielle Steel probably saved Jennifer Aniston’s career, and why Friends is still so popular that if it was a new show, its over-the-air broadcast reruns would be the ninth-highest-rated program on TV. The show that defined the 1990s has a legacy that has endured beyond anyone's wildest expectations. And in this hilarious, informative, and entertaining book, readers will now understand why.

Book excerpt: From renowned Newbery-winning author Jerry Spinelli comes a powerful story about how not fitting in just might lead to an incredible life. This classic book is perfect for fans of Gordon Korman and Carl Hiaasen. Just like other kids, Zinkoff rides his bike, hopes for snow days, and wants to be like his dad when he grows up. But Zinkoff also raises his hand with all the wrong answers, trips over his own feet, and falls down with laughter over a word like "Jabip." Other kids have their own word to describe him, but Zinkoff is too busy to hear it. He doesn't know he's not like everyone else. And one winter night, Zinkoff's differences show that any name can someday become "hero." With some of his finest writing to date and great wit and humor, Jerry Spinelli creates a story about a boy's individuality surpassing the need to fit in and the genuine importance of failure. As readers follow Zinkoff from first through sixth grade, it becomes impossible not to identify with and root for him through failures and triumphs. The perfect classroom read.

Download or read book Welcome Niqynu written by Greg J. Delle and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-30 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author Greg J. Delle has not yet completed his lifetime study of natural humanity and manipulated governed humanity. He and his childhood giraffe friend (Niqynu) travel back through time to when Delle was one year old, to the present, and to the future. Delle depicts how our great inventors, writers, and a host of gifted legends became successful. Despite a system of scarce schooling and academics, they still prevailed. Delle compares this with current academic standards and how academics can affect a child’s creativity. He asks what good are competition and the disease of believing you have to be number one. The twelve hours a day of study and homework a child has – does it teach each and every child to be better than one another? Instead, it would be better to have schools that teach parenting and help people respect and be polite to one another. Delle and Niqynu study the history of religion and how it has affected and continues to affect modern civilization. Of course, God is energy shared by everyone. Delle and Niqynu studied the laws of the Bible, modern school bureaucracy, and the government system - its laws, rules, regulations, fines, penalties, and restrictions. This arduous squeezing system comes down on parents and poor people, to force their children to fit the modern moral mold. Delle and Niqynu question the behavior of adolescents and adults. The rule of sexual societal behavior needs to be set free. Delle and Niqynu never stop asking questions because it is their destiny to help prevent child abuse. Just look at all of the mental and physically abused children. His questions are still unanswered. Come and join them on their quest.
