Download or read book Option B written by Sheryl Sandberg and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2017-04-24 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • From authors of Lean In and Originals: a powerful, inspiring, and practical book about building resilience and moving forward after life’s inevitable setbacks After the sudden death of her husband, Sheryl Sandberg felt certain that she and her children would never feel pure joy again. “I was in ‘the void,’” she writes, “a vast emptiness that fills your heart and lungs and restricts your ability to think or even breathe.” Her friend Adam Grant, a psychologist at Wharton, told her there are concrete steps people can take to recover and rebound from life-shattering experiences. We are not born with a fixed amount of resilience. It is a muscle that everyone can build. Option B combines Sheryl’s personal insights with Adam’s eye-opening research on finding strength in the face of adversity. Beginning with the gut-wrenching moment when she finds her husband, Dave Goldberg, collapsed on a gym floor, Sheryl opens up her heart—and her journal—to describe the acute grief and isolation she felt in the wake of his death. But Option B goes beyond Sheryl’s loss to explore how a broad range of people have overcome hardships including illness, job loss, sexual assault, natural disasters, and the violence of war. Their stories reveal the capacity of the human spirit to persevere . . . and to rediscover joy. Resilience comes from deep within us and from support outside us. Even after the most devastating events, it is possible to grow by finding deeper meaning and gaining greater appreciation in our lives. Option B illuminates how to help others in crisis, develop compassion for ourselves, raise strong children, and create resilient families, communities, and workplaces. Many of these lessons can be applied to everyday struggles, allowing us to brave whatever lies ahead. Two weeks after losing her husband, Sheryl was preparing for a father-child activity. “I want Dave,” she cried. Her friend replied, “Option A is not available,” and then promised to help her make the most of Option B. We all live some form of Option B. This book will help us all make the most of it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you ready to live your best life? To harness the loving power of God's Spirit, regardless of the physical and emotional circumstances you face? No matter how high the mountain you have to climb, let the empowering mystery of one of the most transformative psalms in the Bible provide hope in seemingly hopeless situations. Praying Psalm 46 provides support and wisdom for meeting the challenges of the stinkin' stuff of this world. It is the path to an extraordinarily powerful personal relationship with the Spirit, as told by Sharon, an ordinary woman facing the last stage of a terminal illness. Power and discernment begins with "Be still and know that I am God." This wife and mother used the last six weeks of life to show the path opened by the sustaining power of God's word, and the wonder of a personal relationship with the Spirit. Spiritual strength and wisdom makes even the most daunting of challenges surmountable. In the beyond-natural stillness flowing from the psalm, the mystery and application of all of the Bible are unlocked.
Download or read book Until Death Every Defeat is Psychological written by KHRITISH SWARGIARY and published by EdTech Research Association, US. This book was released on 2024-09-01 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Until Death: Every Defeat is Psychological, we embark on a journey to explore the profound idea that all defeats, be they personal, professional, or existential, are fundamentally psychological. This exploration is rooted in the belief that the narratives we create and the perceptions we hold about ourselves and our world dictate how we experience and overcome challenges. The premise of this book is both simple and revolutionary: the external world may present us with setbacks and failures, but it is our psychological response to these events that truly determines the impact they have on our lives. Defeat, in essence, is not an absolute condition imposed upon us by external forces but a construct of our own making. The stories we tell ourselves about our failures and the meanings we ascribe to them shape our reality more than the events themselves.

Book excerpt: Move from Unconscious Living to Wide-Awake Destiny! Have you taken a leap of faith in life, only to discover that you have crossed an invisible threshold that seems to have launched you into an unfamiliar place where nothing looks or works the way it used to? Do you feel stranded on strange seas without a map or a compass? Does it feel as if you are drifting through life without a rudder, or as if you are rowing hard but getting nowhere fast—hitting stronger, more contrary winds than you anticipated? Do you feel stuck between a former “somewhere” to which you cannot return and a new “somewhere” that you cannot seem to reach? Welcome to the “gap.” You are living in a messy but miraculous patch of real estate—albeit in the unstable element of the baptismal waters of life’s transitions—that lies between your current reality and the location of your desired destiny. Traversing this gap is a vital step in the journey of all human beings, regardless of their race, gender, or creed. The assumption that God is in control of absolutely everything in our life will be challenged as we enter the gap to find that this notion isn’t necessarily so. Rather, the choices we make determine the outcomes we receive. When you arrived on this planet, you weren’t handed a script to memorize and follow. You have had to walk by faith from the moment you learned to put one foot in front of the other. You were surely created with a grand design in mind, one that includes your capacity to invoke, evoke, and provoke personal destiny. Calling your destiny into being requires your intentional participation and cooperation. Through LifeQuest, seasoned people-helper, semiotician, professional certified coach, and master consultant Dr. Mark Chironna will guide you in charting a course for your life’s journey. He will help you to ask the right questions, encourage you to explore the mysterious gap between your current reality and your future destiny, and show you that change is not your enemy. Get started on your LifeQuest today!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

The resulting analyses vividly exemplify what each approach looks like in action. The researchers then probe the similarities and differences among their approaches; their distinctive purposes and strengths; the role, style, and subjectivity of the individual researcher; and the scientific and ethical complexities of conducting qualitative research. Also included are the research participant's responses to each analysis of her experience. A narrative account from another research participant, "Gail," can be used by readers to practice the kinds of analysis explored in the book.

Download or read book Empower written by Tareq Azim and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-08-06 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If you knock on Wakil's door, he's going to kill you." That's what Tareq Azim's guide told him, as they stood at the foot of the local Taliban warlord's home. Most people would let fear get the better of them. However, Tareq had already conquered fear. He walked up to the door by himself, and gave three loud knocks. Azim's family descended from Afghan royalty, but were forced to flee in 1979, after the Soviet Union invasion. They eventually settled as refugees in San Francisco. In the span of weeks, Azim's family went from living a life of privilege to Section 8 housing in the East Bay. Tareq assimilated into American life through sports, excelling in wrestling, boxing, and football. After graduating and playing football at Fresno State, Tareq's unease with how his family was forced from their ancestral land still bothered him. He decided to travel home and reclaim his ancestral land. Upon arriving in Afghanistan, Tareq quickly discovered there was no land to "reclaim." His childhood home had been blown to high hell over the course of 20 years of fighting. What Tareq did discover were dozens of children wandering aimlessly, waiting for inevitable recruitment into the Taliban or to be trafficked into a world of darkness. Tareq had found salvation in sports; these kids could, too. Specifically, Tareq thought the young women he met could benefit from boxing. Getting permission to train them meant a conversation with the local warlord. And that meant walking up to his home, and knocking on that door. Azim would get that approval. He would go on to train the first and only Afghani female boxer in Olympic history. He was 24 years old. Tareq returned to San Francisco and opened up a number of gyms to help others. Coming up with a name was easy: Empower. EMPOWER: Conquering the Disease of Fear is part memoir, part game plan. Reader's will draw strength from Azim's personal journey (a reflection of so many immigrants), and from the actionable ways in which he mentally and emotionally overcame fear, and not just quelling it-rather, harnessing its power to his advantage. Balancing Azim's narrative are a vibrant cast of characters and of case studies, each highlighting one of Azim's seven principles. They include Governor Gavin Newsome, former NFL star running back Marshawn Lynch, Representative Tulsi Gabbard, MMA star Jake Shields, and the owner of the San Francisco 49ers, Jed York, among others. Whether it's beating addiction, getting out of toxic relationships, or the pursuit of mental, spiritual, and physical strength, Azim can help readers identify their fears, and how to conquer them"--
