Download or read book The Power of Positive Choices written by Gail McMeekin and published by Mango Media. This book was released on 2001-06-21 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Gail has the ability to show us how to move our lives forward with power, dignity and grace . . . She is truly the Goddess of Creativity.” —Loretta LaRoche, bestselling author of Juicy Living, Juicy Aging The world is on overload, at least from our modern-day Western perspective. Gail McMeekin believes that we can effectively reduce stress in our lives and bring more meaning into them, and she has developed a program to help people to do just that by showing them the power of making positive choices. Readers are taught to see their Serenity Stealers—issues, habits, people—that need to be “subtracted” from their lives. With those negative life choices gone—choices that deplete their energy and sidetrack them from their goals—readers are shown how to make positive life choices. Carefully selected and added one at a time, these life choices will bring them closer to the joy and meaningfulness they need and desire. The Power of Positive Choices is short and brief by design. Filled with probing questions and helpful self-tests, it is “a brilliant distillation of the steps we each need to take to make the power of choice work . . . [a] clear, vibrant, go-go juice of a book” (Jennifer Louden, author of Why Bother?: Discover the Desire for What’s Next). “By showing us how to confront and banish what’s holding us back and how to consciously choose what’s best in the long run, this book reminds us that we have choices that affect the quality of our lives and helps us create a life in which joy plays a leading role.” —Patti Breitman, author of How to Say No Without Feeling Guilty

Download or read book Secrets of the Sprakkar written by Eliza Reid and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-02 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Canadian first lady of Iceland pens a book about why this tiny nation is leading the charge in gender equality, in the vein of The Moment of Lift. Iceland is the best place on earth to be a woman—but why? For the past twelve years, the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report has ranked Iceland number one on its list of countries closing the gap in equality between men and women. What is it about Iceland that enables its society to make such meaningful progress in this ongoing battle, from electing the world’s first female president to passing legislation specifically designed to help even the playing field at work and at home? The answer is found in the country’s sprakkar, an ancient Icelandic word meaning extraordinary or outstanding women. Eliza Reid—Canadian born and raised, and now first lady of Iceland—examines her adopted homeland’s attitude toward women: the deep-seated cultural sense of fairness, the influence of current and historical role models, and, crucially, the areas where Iceland still has room for improvement. Throughout, she interviews dozens of sprakkar to tell their inspirational stories, and expertly weaves in her own experiences as an immigrant from small-town Canada. The result is an illuminating discussion of what it means to move through the world as a woman and how the rules of society play more of a role in who we view as equal than we may understand. What makes many women’s experiences there so positive? And what can we learn about fairness to benefit our society? Like influential and progressive first ladies Eleanor Roosevelt, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Michelle Obama, Reid uses her platform to bring the best of her nation to the world. Secrets of the Sprakkar is a powerful and atmospheric portrait of a tiny country that could lead the way forward for us all.
