Mentch - Be a Man

Baruch Axelrod

Beschreibung

Everyone seems to be publishing cookbooks: recipes for appetizers, recipes for desserts, recipes forChinese, Persian, Moroccan or Tunisian cuisine, and endless recipes for cakes and sweets. There areeven “recipes” for buying a car, for purchasing an apartment, for choosing a partner, or for securing amortgage or a cheap loan.The only recipe no one has yet discovered is the recipe for human behavior.Unlike baking a cake, the challenge in writing a recipe for a human behavior lies in the fact that theflavors and proportions are far more complex. These proportions reflect the weight we give to thingsthat matter most to us. Today, when the wisdom of the elders is relied upon less and less, each personchooses the taste that feels right for him.Yet, as we know, tasting is not always simple. So how can one ensure success in this craft?For years I have argued that choosing the right measure is the mother of all wisdom, and that it takestime and practice to master. My advice to young people just beginning their professional journey issimply to experiment: a little of this, more of that, and next time adjust the balance again—and againand again—until the mixture being kneaded turns out just right.In this book, I attempt to write a recipe for human behavior, a recipe for being a Mentch. I try toexamine the basic ingredients that make us human, how people can build a healthy society, and how wemight approach that universal goal: the prevention of suffering and pain—first and foremost forourselves, and then for others. Alongside the ingredients that can make us better, I also ask: what arethe things a Mentch would never do?

Enduring Urgency - Thinking Like...

David A. Brown-Dawson

This book is a call to action and a toolbox. You have gifts and the world needs you to identify, understand, and employ your gifts. Today.
There is important work to be done and we do not have forever on this earth, so we should do good when we can where we are with what we have, knowing improvement will take time and we will face challenges.
Important work: children need to be raised, people need to be loved and educated, homes need to be built, code needs to be written, songs need to be sung, clean water needs to be provided, scripts need to be produced, difficult conversations need to be had, systems need to be fixed.
The Enduring Urgency strategy can be used to improve our families and our communities, but it starts in the mind of each person. It is about holding a decade and a day at the same time; seeing who and where you want to be a decade from now and doing everything you can each day to become that person. Enduring Urgency is a strategy used by effective humans throughout history. For ease, David uses the following formula:
Enduring Urgency = Resilience + Patience + Consistent Focused Action
In this book, David shares stories and provides tools to help you build resilience, develop patience, and take consistent focused action in support of those important people and goals you have. The resilience is for the adversity you have, are, or will face. The patience is for your process and the time required to improve. The consistent focused action is for the compounding effect, the consequences of what happens when we act consistently over time.
This book can provide value if you are:Wanting to better understand yourself, your gifts, and how to use them for goodWanting to develop your social and emotional learningPreparing to graduateTransitioning from one career to another

Scottish History - Forces Facts...

Kelly Mass

Scotland is an old country with an ancient history. There is no doubt about that. Many traditions, words, symbols, and other cultural aspects we see as normal today, originate from Scotland. 
Scotland's documented history started with the Roman Empire's entryway in the first century, when the province of Britannia broadened as far north as the Antonine Wall. Caledonia, to the north, was home to the Picti, whose uprisings drove Rome's armies back to Hadrian's Wall. As Rome withdrew from Britain, the Scoti, a group of Gaelic pirates, started colonizing Western Scotland and Wales. Ancient Scotland saw the Neolithic Age around 4000 BC, the Bronze Age around 2000 BC, and the Iron Age around 700 BC before the arrival of the Romans. 
With all of this history and more in the past few centuries, when things got really interesting, let’s take a look at some of the best-known, most important factors of Scotland’s history, and what we can learn from them.
