Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In her latest book, Brené Brown writes, “If we want to find the way back to ourselves and one another, we need language and the grounded confidence to both tell our stories and be stewards of the stories that we hear. This is the framework for meaningful connection.” Don’t miss the five-part HBO Max docuseries Brené Brown: Atlas of the Heart! In Atlas of the Heart, Brown takes us on a journey through eighty-seven of the emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human. As she maps the necessary skills and an actionable framework for meaningful connection, she gives us the language and tools to access a universe of new choices and second chances—a universe where we can share and steward the stories of our bravest and most heartbreaking moments with one another in a way that builds connection. Over the past two decades, Brown’s extensive research into the experiences that make us who we are has shaped the cultural conversation and helped define what it means to be courageous with our lives. Atlas of the Heart draws on this research, as well as on Brown’s singular skills as a storyteller, to show us how accurately naming an experience doesn’t give the experience more power—it gives us the power of understanding, meaning, and choice. Brown shares, “I want this book to be an atlas for all of us, because I believe that, with an adventurous heart and the right maps, we can travel anywhere and never fear losing ourselves.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new collection of poetry from an American literary legend, her first in twenty-five years Joyce Carol Oates is one of our most insightful observers of the human heart and mind, and, with her acute social consciousness, one of the most insistent and inspired witnesses of a shared American history. Oates is perhaps best known for her prodigious output of novels and short stories, many of which have become contemporary classics. However, Oates has also always been a faithful writer of poetry. American Melancholy showcases some of her finest work of the last few decades. Covering subjects big and small, and written in an immediate and engaging style, this collection touches on both the personal and political. Loss, love, and memory are investigated, along with the upheavals of our modern age, the reality of our current predicaments, and the ravages of poverty, racism, and social unrest. Oates skillfully writes characters ranging from a former doctor at a Chinese People’s Liberation Army hospital to Little Albert, a six-month-old infant who took part in a famous study that revealed evidence of classical conditioning in human beings.

Download or read book The Hate In Their Heart Should Not Be Part Of Your American Management Journey written by Donnalakshmi Selvaraj and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (July 2020) Just released the book titled, "The Hate In Their Heart, Should Not Be Part Of Your American Management Journey." This is a timely release of a book that identifies and discusses Hate-Based (i.e. to dislike, detest, abhor, loathe, despise someone) verses Management-Based (i.e. referring to laws, company policy, strategic intent, data, analysis of information) decision making. This is the SAME Hate-Based and racially motivated decision making used by police, causing violence in America, sparking protests and demonstrations that have quickly spread throughout America and worldwide in 2020. Hate and unethical practices by the police, including murder, have stirred the hearts of people in America and worldwide to demand fairness and justice from police personnel when they perform their job duties. This is the SAME fairness and justice people expect at work when they perform their job duties; however, often times they do not receive this fairness based upon perceived racial and gender injustice, which is the subtle form of Hate-Based decision making that Managers so often explain away to justify and hide "the hate in their heart" and their Hate-Based decision making.This book has been written by two women of color, a mother and her daughter, based upon over 60 years of their combined work experiences in Human Resources/corporate level (mom was an EEO/AA Officer), public, educational, health-care, community-service and faith-based environments and a combined educational background of degrees in Business, Environmental Science and Ministry. These authors take you through this book on a private journey of YOUR Management-decision making to identify "if" YOU make Hate-Based verses Management-Based decisions at work, which is the place where most people try to "live out their American Dream" to make money and/or sustain their respective lifestyles.This is an EXCELLENT book to take a journey through the development of AMERICAN MANAGEMENT theories and practices and to also identify Hate-Based versus Management-Based decision-making. Please note, it was thought the inception of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protected employees against Hate-Based decisions such as discriminatory and retaliatory practices based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin; unfortunately, this Hate-based decision making is back in the workplace.The book starts with references by American politicians encouraging ALL to listen to our better angels. This is a book about Management from an Employee's perspective and also includes multiple WORK BOOKS for Management to privately self-assess Hate-Based verses Management-Based decision-making and also includes EXAMPLES of "best practice behavior" so Managers can self-correct their own behavior. This book is to essentially encourage humane, moral and ethical Management-Based decision making.This book is a follow-up book to the Employee resource book titled, How To Work In Hell Successfully And Not Get Burned By The Flames. Both books have been written as a RESOURCE BOOK for Employees and Managers in the post-2008 Great Recession workplace where economies have been shaken worldwide and getting and/or keeping a job has become more and more challenging due to Hate-Based decisions by Managers.These authors take you on an informational, entertaining, and humorous journey of the history of American Management and American Startups while highlighting one's ability to make Management-Based verses Hate-Based decisions. The Authors gently challenge your heart to self-assess YOUR decision-making process to ENCOURAGE you to make Management-Based decisions as opposed to Hate-Based decisions in an effort to allow YOU and/or the organization you work for to move to your next level of well-being and prosperity – a Management Model to transform your organization from "surviving to thriving" is also included.The Authors hope you will ENJOY this American Management Journey and that this becomes an American classic because they bring to light an age-old and timeless issue of HATE and how "hate can enter into one's heart," which can adversely affect one's ability to thrive, verses just survive, at work or in life - Amen.

Book excerpt: A powerful and thought-provoking YA debut from New York Times bestselling author Laura Moriarty. Imagine a United States in which registries and detainment camps for Muslim-Americans are a reality. Fifteen-year-old Sarah-Mary Williams of Hannibal, Missouri, lives in this world, and though she has strong opinions on almost everything, she isn’t concerned with the internments because she doesn’t know any Muslims. She assumes that everything she reads and sees in the news is true, and that these plans are better for everyone’s safety. But when she happens upon Sadaf, a Muslim fugitive determined to reach freedom in Canada, Sarah-Mary at first believes she must turn her in. But Sadaf challenges Sarah-Mary’s perceptions of right and wrong, and instead Sarah-Mary decides, with growing conviction, to do all she can to help Sadaf escape. The two set off on a desperate journey, hitchhiking through the heart of an America that is at times courageous and kind, but always full of tension and danger for anyone deemed suspicious.

Download or read book The Dry Heart written by Natalia Ginzburg and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finally back in print, a frighteningly lucid feminist horror story about marriage The Dry Heart begins and ends with the matter-of-fact pronouncement: “I shot him between the eyes.” As the tale—a plunge into the chilly waters of loneliness, desperation, and bitterness—proceeds, the narrator's murder of her flighty husband takes on a certain logical inevitability. Stripped of any preciousness or sentimentality, Natalia Ginzburg's writing here is white-hot, tempered by rage. She transforms the unhappy tale of an ordinary dull marriage into a rich psychological thriller that seems to beg the question: why don't more wives kill their husbands?

Download or read book How to Fix a Broken Heart written by Guy Winch and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine if we treated broken hearts with the same respect and concern we have for broken arms? Psychologist Guy Winch urges us to rethink the way we deal with emotional pain, offering warm, wise, and witty advice for the broken-hearted. Real heartbreak is unmistakable. We think of nothing else. We feel nothing else. We care about nothing else. Yet while we wouldn’t expect someone to return to daily activities immediately after suffering a broken limb, heartbroken people are expected to function normally in their lives, despite the emotional pain they feel. Now psychologist Guy Winch imagines how different things would be if we paid more attention to this unique emotion—if only we can understand how heartbreak works, we can begin to fix it. Through compelling research and new scientific studies, Winch reveals how and why heartbreak impacts our brain and our behavior in dramatic and unexpected ways, regardless of our age. Emotional pain lowers our ability to reason, to think creatively, to problem solve, and to function at our best. In How to Fix a Broken Heart he focuses on two types of emotional pain—romantic heartbreak and the heartbreak that results from the loss of a cherished pet. These experiences are both accompanied by severe grief responses, yet they are not deemed as important as, for example, a formal divorce or the loss of a close relative. As a result, we are often deprived of the recognition, support, and compassion afforded to those whose heartbreak is considered more significant. Our heart might be broken, but we do not have to break with it. Winch reveals that recovering from heartbreak always starts with a decision, a determination to move on when our mind is fighting to keep us stuck. We can take control of our lives and our minds and put ourselves on the path to healing. Winch offers a toolkit on how to handle and cope with a broken heart and how to, eventually, move on.
