Release date: December 31, 2012In Seth Godin's most inspiring book, he challenges readers to find the courage to treat their work as a form of art?Everyone knows that Icarus's father made him wings and told him not to fly too close to the sun; he ignored the warning and plunged to his doom. The lesson: Play it safe. Listen to the experts. It was the perfect propaganda for the industrial economy. What boss wouldn't want employees to believe that obedience and conformity are the keys to success??But we tend to forget that Icarus was also warned not to fly too low, because seawater would ruin the lift in his wings. Flying too low is even more dangerous than flying too high, because it feels deceptively safe.?The safety zone has moved. Conformity no longer leads to comfort. But the good news is that creativity is scarce and more valuable than ever. So is choosing to do something unpredictable and brave: Make art. Being an artist isn't a genetic disposition or a specific talent. It's an attitude we can all adopt. It's a hunger to seize new ground, make connections, and work without a map. If you do those things you're an artist, no matter what it says on your business card.?Godin shows us how it's possible and convinces us why it's essential.
What are you afraid of? ? The old rules: Play it safe. Stay in your comfort zone. Find an institution, a job, a set of rules to stick to. Keep your head down. Don't fly too close to the sun. ? The new truth: It's better to be sorry than safe. You need to fly higher than ever. ? In his bravest and most challenging book yet, Seth Godin shows how we can thrive in an econ-omy that rewards art, not compliance. He explains why true innovators focus on trust, remarkabil-ity, leadership, and stories that spread. And he makes a passionate argument for why you should be treating your work as art. ? Art is not a gene or a specific talent. It's an atti-tude, available to anyone who has a vision that others don't, and the guts to do something about it. Steve Jobs was an artist. So were Henry Ford and Martin Luther King Jr. ? To work like an artist means investing in the things that scale: creativity, emotional labor, and grit. The path of the artist isn't for the faint of heart—but Godin shows why it's your only chance to stand up, stand out, and make a difference. ? The time to seize new ground and work without a map is now. So what are you going to do?
Release date: January 3, 2013 No fictional character is more renowned for his powers of thought and observation than Sherlock Holmes. But is his extraordinary intellect merely a gift of fiction, or can we learn to cultivate these abilities ourselves, to improve our lives at work and at home? We can, says psychologist and journalist Maria Konnikova, and in Mastermind she shows us how. Beginning with the "brain attic"--Holmes's metaphor for how we store information and organize knowledge--Konnikova unpacks the mental strategies that lead to clearer thinking and deeper insights. Drawing on twenty-first-century neuroscience and psychology, Mastermind explores Holmes's unique methods of ever-present mindfulness, astute observation, and logical deduction.? In doing so, it shows how each of us, with some self-awareness and a little practice, can employ these same methods to sharpen our perceptions, solve difficult problems, and enhance our creative powers. For Holmes aficionados and casual readers alike, Konnikova reveals how the world's most keen-eyed detective can serve as an unparalleled guide to upgrading the mind.

Travel with him on his journey as he goes from being born out of wedlock, to earning his doctorate. Learn from his lessons and you, too, can be healed! Even when he was too young to understand racism and prejudice, he could still feel the feelings of annoyance, negativity, and outright hatred. As he grew older, he carried hurt from his childhood into his youth. As a young man, he realized he had to somehow get over this hurt if he wanted to move forward with his life. One particular summer provided the catalyst that would take him on his journey of self-discovery and healing; and one very important mentor became available, when the time was right. His parents met in post-WWII Germany. His father, a black American soldier; his mother, a white German girl. Unmarried, his mother found herself with child, just as his father was being deployed back to America. After he was born, his father came back and married his mother. They lived together as a family for some years, until it all fell apart, and his father moved back to America without him. He often bore the brunt of his mother's hatred for his father and black people; physically, verbally, and emotionally. All the while he wanted only one thing, to be loved and accepted. As a cover for his growing insecurity, the boy finds that being an excellent soccer player, gets him through much strife. When the family relocates from Germany to America, it takes years of adjusting. Going off to college was a huge step toward freedom; freedom from the lack of acceptance he felt from his mother. He returns to Germany, and realizes that he is no longer accepted in his own home town. His mother's attitude toward him hasn't changed; it seems she can't stand to be near him. He starts to question his mother's love. His best friend shares with him some disturbing news: he was not treated well by his mother. He starts to
Enemy Captain Fedroval – Val for short – shoots down a one-man fighter out near the Galactic Rim, but the pilot, much to his surprise and horror, is a human woman named Lisbet Duncan. The alien warriors have a strict code. In their culture, making war on females is a shameful stain on one's honor. The captain doesn't quite know what to do with Lisbet, but he can't let her die alone in space. He orders his men to tow her life pod into their battle ship.
Val is the last of his line – heir to a doomed legacy – because no respectable jit'suku woman will have him after the destruction of his family. He has put all his considerable resources into building his state-of-the-art battleship and joining the fight to take the human galaxy, hoping to restore his honor in some small way. This is Val's first foray into human space and his first encounter with a human female. He finds her strangely alluring and altogether irresistible.
Lisbet is attracted to Val as well. When he puts the moves on her, she can't resist his masculine charm, but she doesn't like being a prisoner – even if she is being kept in a gilded cage, treated more like a guest. She doesn't know a lot about jit'suku culture and it's pretty clear they don't understand much about humans. It's going to be fun educating her captor about just how headstrong, fierce… and loving… a human woman can be.

"Christian Wicca: the Trinitarian Tradition" does this very task, outlining the Sabbats, the Esbats to include the Holy Trinity . . . also introducing observances expressly for Jesus, called Kyriats!

Tom Cruise and John Travolta say the Church of Scientology is a force for good. Others disagree. Award-winning journalist John Sweeney investigated the Church for more than half a decade. During that time he was intimidated, spied on and followed and the results were spectacular: Sweeney lost his temper with the Church's spokesman on camera and his infamous 'exploding tomato' clip was seen by millions around the world. In THE CHURCH OF FEAR Sweeney tells the full story of his experiences for the first time and paints a devastating picture of this strange organisation, from former Scientologists who tell heartbreaking stories of families torn apart and lives ruined to its current followers who say it is the solution to many of mankind's problems. This is the real story of the Church by the reporter who was brave enough to take it on.
