  Have you ever bombed a job interview or fumbled an “elevator pitch”? Based on a number of social psychology studies, Summary of Amy Cuddy's Presence is a book by Harvard Business School professor Amy Cuddy that encourages people to stop worrying about the impression they make on others and instead use simple tools like body language to change the way they feel about themselves. Presence shows how, by accessing one’s personal power, an individual can become bolder and more confident in challenging situations like job interviews, business pitches, or even relationship breakups. 
  Achieving presence occurs when people stop focusing on what others think of them and instead focus on the changes they are making in themselves. While understanding this presence can certainly help in public speaking and presentations, someone with a presence that communicates quiet confidence might also be viewed as a better listener, which is a key attribute in any organization…

  In this guide, the first thing we’ll point out is how difficult it is to go through life with a mother or father who has Borderline Personality Disorder. We’ll do this by giving multiple examples and discussing them. 
    
  Second, we’ll touch on anticipatory anxiety and social problems that people with the disorder may have, and the question of whether to openly talk about the disorder with the patients. 
    
  Third, the matter of attachment will be discussed elaborately, mostly because this is exactly the entire problem that those with traumas and disorders are often being confronted with. We all develop healthy or unhealthy attachments in our youth and form bonds with our family, friends, things, locations, cultural habits, etc. When something goes wrong with the attachment, it messes people up, and it can have dire effects.

  "Mastery" by George Leonard : Book SummaryABOUT THIS AUDIOBOOK SUMMARY:Mastery: The Keys to Success and Long-Term Fulfillmentby George LeonardLet’s begin at the beginning: what exactly is Mastery? Mastery is an individual’s intense dedication to their craft. Mastery doesn’t discriminate. Every industry has room for new masters—it doesn’t matter whether you want to become a master in the board room or on the football field. Mastery is not a matter of domain, it’s a matter of dedication.A true master is a person who has developed (and continues to develop) higher and higher levels of skill, prowess, dexterity, and deftness over their craft. A master is someone who has a deep and intuitive grasp of their work—someone who possesses a level of expertise worth marveling over—and yet still continues practicing the fundamentals of their craft. These are the qualities of a master. And if you want these qualities, you should know they aren’t easily acquired. They require us to approach our work with love and dedication—both in times of pleasure and in times of pain.Mastery is not a destination—it’s a lifelong practice. Although the day may come when you realize you have become a master of your craft, it isn’t an outcome you become overly focused on. It’s not an achievement—it’s a way of life.The Big Ideas we’ve gathered from this book—Mastery: The Keys to Success and Long-Term Fulfillment by George Leonard—will teach you some of the most important principles you’ll need in order to begin your very own path to mastery.The author of the book, George Leonard, discovered the power of mastery through martial arts (specifically, aikido). Leonard found that examining the teaching styles of great aikido masters, along with their students’ learning styles and progress was an excellent way to key-in on the aspects that advance and hinder long-term learning and performance.After learning what it takes to gain mastery within the field of aikido, Leonard cross-referenced his learnings across various other fields and domains, and he came to a surprisingly simple conclusion: The essential elements of any master’s journey—the core fundamentals to follow, what pitfalls to expect, and what tools you need to succeed—are all generally the same! Different people take different routes to mastery, but they’re all walking in the same direction… Wanna walk with them? Get ready to learn how.ORIGINAL BOOK DESCRIPTION: Drawing on Zen philosophy and his expertise in the martial art of aikido, best-selling author George Leonard shows how the process of mastery can help us attain a higher level of excellence and a deeper sense of satisfaction and fulfillment in our daily lives.Whether you're seeking to improve your career or your intimate relationships, increase self-esteem or create harmony within yourself, this inspiring prescriptive guide will help you master anything you choose and achieve success in all areas of your life.In this book summary of Mastery, you'll discover:- The five essential keys to mastery- Tools for mastery- How to master your athletic potential- The three personality types that are obstacles to mastery- How to avoid pitfalls along the path- And more

  A “deeply affecting” account of a community of students planning an extraordinary prom night (Entertainment Weekly).   Journeying through “a year in the life of a suburban Pennsylvania public school,” Wonderland takes us to Pennsbury High, whose spring dance is a beloved tradition and a local legend (The New Yorker).   It’s an inspiring true story of a dance floor, the kids who fill it, and the unpredictable ways that their lives intersect. The star quarterback hides the pain of not knowing where his father is. A student with cerebral palsy is desperate to learn to tie Eagle Scout knots, despite a useless left hand. Two teen parents search for a babysitter so they can attend the festivities. And then there is Bob Costa, who dreams of bringing glory to the school by convincing John Mayer, whose song “Your Body Is a Wonderland” is an anthem for the students, to perform at the prom. Poignant, humorous, and joyful, this is “a captivating story about a small-town” (The Philadelphia Inquirer).   “Vivid, engaging . . . Something of a real-life teen soap: its intertwined storylines and folkloric personalities certainly draw you in the same way.” —The Atlantic Monthly   “A book that is as good as it ever gets.” —Buzz Bissinger, author of Friday Night Lights

  Make no mistake, education in America is undeniably broken and careering off the tracks. This viewpoint is shared from the perspective of a father who had children navigating the education system, a husband with a wife actively contributing to the education system, and an entrepreneur who developed and sold educational resources to public schools around the country. These unique vantage points have provided an invaluable insight into the inner workings of the American education system. 
  This book aims to offer an intimate glimpse behind the curtains, shedding light on the multitude of factors, policy decisions, and political entanglements that have contributed to the current state of our public education system. It serves as a wake-up call, revealing a myriad of issues that the majority of parents are blissfully unaware of, issues that are quietly eroding the foundations of our children's education. In addition to the author's personal experiences, we conducted interviews with 69 former teachers and administrators to gain a comprehensive understanding of how education has evolved over the years, and unfortunately, the findings indicate a negative trend. If parents were aware of these disconcerting revelations, it is safe to assume that they would have legitimate concerns. 
  The purpose of this book is to reveal the true extent of the challenges that plague our education system in America, in the hopes of igniting a collective desire to take action and secure a brighter future for education in our nation.
