  Shattered and Becoming: A Teacher’s Journey Between Policy and Purpose reveals the experience of working inside a system where policies, leadership decisions, and organizational cultures clash with the real needs of the people meant to be served and those providing the support. 
  Through a story of classroom life, inclusion, advocacy, leadership, and personal growth, this memoir explores what happens when a teacher’s purpose is tested by stress, institutional barriers, and the pressure to comply. As he navigates early childhood education, special education, school leadership, and the fight for meaningful inclusion, Dr. Goff reveals how the very experiences that break us can also open the way for growth, clarity, and becoming. 
  Perfect for listeners interested in leadership, inclusion, advocacy, personal growth, and system reform, Shattered and Becoming offers an honest look at the emotional realities of teaching and the courage it takes to hold onto purpose when the system loses its way. This audiobook is for teachers, administrators, education students, school counselors, family advocates, and anyone seeking inspiration around inclusion, integrity, resilience, and leadership in education.

  An enthralling account of the World War Two exploits of the U.S. Seventh Army, from Sicily to France to the final assault on Hitler's mountain retreat, the Eagle's Nest. 
   
   
   
  Although overshadowed by the other Allied armies fighting in Europe, the impact of the U.S. Seventh Army on the course of the Second World War deserves to be remembered. 
   
   
   
  In Sicily, under the command of General George S. Patton, it swept away Axis forces as it captured village after village. It then moved northwards charging "up the gut" of Nazi-held Europe. 
   
   
   
  Charles Whiting uncovers the actions of this overlooked army and its men—charging against dug-in German machine gun nests, launching ferocious attacks on the bloodied snows of the Alps, and fending off terrifying Panzer-led counterattacks. 
   
   
   
  This book also draws attention to many of the fascinating figures who led it, from Patton to his successor as commander of the Seventh General Alexander "Sandy" Patch, to the numerous brilliant soldiers that fought under them, including the dynamic Lucian Truscott, daredevil Robert T. Frederick, aggressive "Iron Mike" O'Daniel, talented Frenchman Jacques LeClerc, and America's most decorated soldier, Audie Murphy.

  You leave the meeting replaying it. Something in the room changed and you felt it, but you can't say what it was, so you spend the evening guessing what that pause, that half-smile, or that sudden change of subject actually meant.
  
  This guide gives you a way to look. You'll learn the four channels people broadcast on at once, face, frame, voice and timing, and the baseline-and-break method that tells you when a signal genuinely matters instead of when you're inventing meaning. Every chapter opens on a scene you'll recognise, a job interview, a first date, a tense family dinner, names the pattern behind it, explains what psychology actually knows, and hands you one short script or observation drill you can use this week.
  
  No tricks, no mind-reading claims, just steadier attention and better questions. Start listening, and walk into the next room reading what's really being said.

  The Heart of Therapy -...

  This thoughtful and heartfelt book develops two main themes: the healing power of a compassionate understanding towards ourselves and others, and the ways boundaries are set within and around various areas of our lives. 
   
   
   
  It examines how we live these boundaries, how they impact us, and what it takes to live these with deeper satisfaction. This book also addresses shame and rage; the impact of trauma; the power of parental messages, spoken and unspoken; and transgenerational burdens. A theoretical chapter summarizes the author's integrative, phenomenological approach: it brings the insights of a body-focused trauma therapy and a systemic lens to an overarching existential perspective. Numerous vignettes, case studies, and client-therapist dialogues illustrate reflections on life, philosophy, and therapeutic modalities and practice. 
   
   
   
  This book will be a thought-provoking listen for trainee and practicing counselors and psychotherapists, or anyone looking for self-reflection on their own practices, life, and ultimately, what it means to be human.
