    Quite Ready is a chronicle of what gets left behind on the journey to the top.From rural Tennessee to the glittering lights of Tokyo and New York, Rebecca had it all. After clawing her way out of humble beginnings, she returned to Tokyo in the summer of 2019 to celebrate the hard-earned victories of her effort. But one devastating phone call from back home turned everything she thought she knew about success upside down.In this self-revelatory story, Rebecca turns an unflinching lens on the toxic culture of grit at all costs. She uses her own experiences to examine how forcing our way through pain instead of addressing it leaves even the most independent and ambitious of us lonely, depressed, and one dark day away from an unhappy ending. It's a true account of how relentless self-determination and desperation for success almost killed her. Through honest self-examination and some help from experts, real and ethereal, Rebecca demonstrates how anyone can regain control of their personal narrative and come out liberated and happier for it. But we'd better be quite ready to do the hard work and experience a little bit of suffering to get what we want.

    "The story of the Nativity Phenomenon is a story of dreams."During the first half of the 20th century, early visionaries on the Lower East Side of New York City saw a huge problem: many immigrants fell into a cycle of poverty and violence due to a lack of empathy, resources, and education. What was the solution? Empathy, resources, and education. The Nativity Phenomenon was born because risk-takers dared to do the unorthodox. That passion for equity in education exists today; classrooms are filled with students who are hungry-materially, socially, and spiritually. The model flourished and spread across the USA and Canada because other risk-takers joined in. The Nativity Phenomenon: A Model that Works is the story of an educational adventure that opens pathways to a productive future and provides educational justice for students from underserved, economically challenged families. Readers can dive into the history of the program, but more importantly, into the stories of Nativity graduates, their teachers, and volunteers.Educational justice is a right for all. The Nativity Phenomenon shows how this dream became a reality.

    Naomi Vladeck coaches from a central belief that the time we spend in transition after a big life life change holds the power to turn our fear into the courage to create the life and work we love. When big change blows up your life, do you have the courage to create from the empty space around you? Is change the catalyst that will challenge you to take the risks you've been longing to take? Can you grow bigger than the fear that is keeping you stuck?In her work as a life coach for artists and creative women, Naomi has helped artists answer these questions and found that creative women have a facility with change. The creative tools they use to face an empty space, blank page or canvas are the same tools they use to traverse the space between big change and a future they cannot see. Through her work, Naomi inspires artists and creatives to ignite their courage to face the unknown path ahead by taking small steps that create connection and transformational growth.Now, in her debut book, Naomi teaches you her Five Pillars of Braving Creativity to help you examine your relationship to change. Each pillar is part of the process of transition that is illuminated in real life stories, including her own, that offer insights, prompts, and touchstones to help you brave creativity after big change to flourish in your work and life.

    There will be no great-grandchildren for him. There will be no yearbook photo for some descendant to peer at, tracing their high cheekbones through flesh and photo as they flip through the pages. There will be no video tapes, no secret stash of letters. There will be no amber to pass on. It will die with him, like everyone around him will die, and all of their embarrassing high school stories, monuments, war crimes, and bullet journals. There will be no photographs of it. No one to collect the debris. It will fade, like the walls they voted, unanimously, to stop repainting because they're beginning to worry they'll be the Last.In a world governed by the Sun, Wind, Sea, and Gaia, golden boy Dante could've never predicted what the Fates have in store: humanity is infertile. Deemed "Aphrodite's Curse," this mysterious plague upends the framework of society with social upheaval, economic crises, technological advances, ecological revelations, and biological ultimatums.Drawing from mythology and science fiction, Saba Nia's Carpe Diem centers around Dante's family and that of a neighbor, an inquisitive and thoughtful girl named Rose, to explore how relationships evolve and adapt in the backdrop of a prolonged Armageddon.

    Even though men as a group have power, individual men often feel powerless. These contradictory experiences contribute to men's hurting-hurting others and being hurt.Based on more than fifteen years of research, Keith E. Edwards, PhD, illuminates men's masking, unmasking, and becoming to help men develop their own authentic masculinity. He also shares strategies to help us all better engage the men in our lives with empathy, reach them with compassion, effectively hold them accountable, and help them to become the men they aspire to be.The men in his study thought they had a unique secret, but they all shared the same secret. They each wore masks to hide their insecurities and portray an image that would be seen as "man enough" according to the external expectations of them as men. These external expectations oppress women and transgender people, place some men above other men, and limit all men.Men struggle with their unmasking. Too often, as soon as their insecurities reemerge, the mask snaps back into place as though attached with an elastic cord. With mask consciousness, men can engage in their own process of becoming by exploring their identity and practicing aligning their actions with integrity.
