Book excerpt: Author Tony Cloud grew up in Wheaton, Maryland, when the metropolitan area of Washington, DC, earned the title “Crime Capital of the World.” He knows firsthand the ugliness that crime perpetuates. In Transition of the Mind, he shows how drugs and violence have affected the hearts of the entire world and discusses how action must be taken before it’s too late. This study journeys into the hearts of deprived, devalued, and distressed inner-city children. Based on real lives and true events in the ghetto and suburban areas, it answers many questions that have been asked by parents and grandparents around the nation: • Why are so many young people joining gangs, and how do we get them out? • What kinds of laws or rules are necessary for inner-city survival? • How has poverty cheapened the value of life? • Besides abortion, how are children murdered without a weapon? • What is the power of a gangsta in underprivileged areas? • Is racism truly alive, and does it exists on every level of life? Heartfelt and raw, Transition of the Mind provides insight into the challenges of street life for many young people in inner-city settings. It shows that through discipline and faith in God and themselves, they can overcome the challenges and become righteous people.

Download or read book Life Is in the Transitions written by Bruce Feiler and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller! A pioneering and timely study of how to navigate life's biggest transitions with meaning, purpose, and skill Bruce Feiler, author of the New York Times bestsellers The Secrets of Happy Families and Council of Dads, has long explored the stories that give our lives meaning. Galvanized by a personal crisis, he spent the last few years crisscrossing the country, collecting hundreds of life stories in all fifty states from Americans who’d been through major life changes—from losing jobs to losing loved ones; from changing careers to changing relationships; from getting sober to getting healthy to simply looking for a fresh start. He then spent a year coding these stories, identifying patterns and takeaways that can help all of us survive and thrive in times of change. What Feiler discovered was a world in which transitions are becoming more plentiful and mastering the skills to manage them is more urgent for all of us. The idea that we’ll have one job, one relationship, one source of happiness is hopelessly outdated. We all feel unnerved by this upheaval. We’re concerned that our lives are not what we expected, that we’ve veered off course, living life out of order. But we’re not alone. Life Is in the Transitions introduces the fresh, illuminating vision of the nonlinear life, in which each of us faces dozens of disruptors. One in ten of those becomes what Feiler calls a lifequake, a massive change that leads to a life transition. The average length of these transitions is five years. The upshot: We all spend half our lives in this unsettled state. You or someone you know is going through one now. The most exciting thing Feiler identified is a powerful new tool kit for navigating these pivotal times. Drawing on his extraordinary trove of insights, he lays out specific strategies each of us can use to reimagine and rebuild our lives, often stronger than before. From a master storyteller with an essential message, Life Is in the Transitions can move readers of any age to think deeply about times of change and how to transform them into periods of creativity and growth.

Download or read book Think Again written by Adam Grant and published by Random House. This book was released on 2021-02-04 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller Listed as a Times Self-Help Book of the Year Discover the critical art of rethinking: how questioning your opinions can position you for excellence at work and wisdom in life Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, the most crucial skill may be the ability to rethink and unlearn. Recent global and political changes have forced many of us to re-evaluate our opinions and decisions. Yet we often still favour the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt, and prefer opinions that make us feel good, instead of ideas that make us think hard. Intelligence is no cure, and can even be a curse. The brighter we are, the blinder we can become to our own limitations. Adam Grant - Wharton's top-rated professor and #1 bestselling author - offers bold ideas and rigorous evidence to show how we can embrace the joy of being wrong, encourage others to rethink topics as wide-ranging as abortion and climate change, and build schools, workplaces, and communities of lifelong learners. You'll learn how an international debate champion wins arguments, a Black musician persuades white supremacists to abandon hate, and how a vaccine whisperer convinces anti-vaxxers to immunize their children. Think Again is an invitation to let go of stale opinions and prize mental flexibility, humility, and curiosity over foolish consistency. If knowledge is power, knowing what you don't know is wisdom.

Download or read book Changing Your Mind written by Devin A. Robinson and published by Going Against the Grain Publications. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We change our minds almost daily. What should we wear, what should we eat? These small mind changes are often to seek a better result. Even though we seek to obtain better results, applying these mind changes to more significant or life-changing areas of our lives rarely occurs. When we think on the word degree, we think on levels. Degrees describe temperatures. Types of degrees describe academic intelligence. Degrees also describe the direction on a compass. Place these degrees in our lives and we should be able to determine an overall assessment of ourselves. Are we on a high scale with good thoughts? How intelligent are our actions? What is the direction of our destiny? (Thoughts, actions, destiny.) Changing Your Mind One Degree at a Time places the two concepts together and helps you to construct a plan. If you know it's time to change your mind, then do it. If your azimuth needs to change direction, then change it. This book will help guide your transition smoothly in a 180-day journey producing a 180-degree turn in your life. Once your mind is changed and you receive a new degree, your life will take you to levels you've never experienced before.

Download or read book Transition written by Cornelius Williams and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-07 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Father Jacob gathered the material to make Joseph a coat of many colors, he knew just what he needed to get the coat completed. He shirred a beautiful white lamb and carefully combed and curried all the burs and thistles from the fine wool he had taken from the lamb. Little did he know that the coat he was to make for Joseph, his dear son, would stir such a stink with his brothers and separate Joseph from the family. Joseph was a great man who had learned to foretell dreams. He had told Pharaoh what his dream meant, thus saving the great land of Egypt from seven years of famine, to be sent from God Almighty. Because of this, Joseph was made Governor of Egypt while Pharaoh was Ruler. Joseph's brothers did bow down to him and ask forgiveness for the great wrong they had done to him when they sold him to a band of traders, who also sold spices and other goods which they gathered mostly by dishonest deeds. The band of traders took Joseph to Egypt and sold him as a slave. God was with Joseph, and this act of evil done to him by his brothers, was changed to good. Joseph was able to save his family from starvation by providing them grain for sustenance during the famine throughout the land. Later, Joseph brought them to Egypt to live with him
