Summary

Ilana Estelle was forty-six when she was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and then ten years later, she was diagnosed with autism. The journey, from angry, confused child to the ‘real’ her took enormous inner strength and courage. Then the global pandemic struck. 
In Survival: The Covid Years, Ilana shares her overwhelming physical and mental struggles within the chaos of the pandemic. She explains how navigating the daily turbulence and ever-changing rules and restrictions impacted her physical, mental, and emotional needs, leaving her feeling out of control and panicked. 
Locked down and fearing for her health, and even her life, Ilana turned once again to writing, a process that has helped her cope and reach out beyond life within four walls. Her revealing memoir shows how she learned to cope with stress, anxiety, and on-going self-isolation through Covid, through the healing power of words and with a steely determination to reconnect to the outside world. 
By shedding light on her personal challenges through the pandemic, Ilana encourages the reader to explore the thoughts and feelings raised by their own pandemic journey. In this way she aims to unlock future potential for others, enabling them to move on from this enormously difficult time. A must read for anyone wanting to take positive steps after the challenges of Covid-19.

Pinky Cole—founder of the wildly successful restaurant chain Slutty Vegan—takes you back to your moments that seemed hopeless to help you discover how filled with possibility they really were. 
We've all been told we can't do it. That we're not enough. That we grew up in the wrong neighborhood or had the wrong parents or made the wrong choices. That we can't be anything but a failure. . .What they don't tell you is that every obstacle and mess-up in your life has only prepared you for success. 
Pinky has spent her life dreaming of financial security. After a fire destroyed the New York City restaurant she put everything into building, she was back to square one, working hard for someone else's dream. Her life has been a series of lessons that have given her the tools to build a business that drew the attention of some of the world's top investors. 
In I Hope You Fail, Pinky tells her own story to empower you in yours. She'll share her ten counter-intuitive hopes for you, including:I hope you don't believe in yourself. . .because the journey to discovering who you truly are is the key to unlocking the life you want.I hope you don't get that raise. . .because money doesn't equal respect, but it can show you how much you are truly valued at work.I hope the customers don't show up. . .so you can have the feedback you need to reevaluate your approach and find one that works. 
  
Filled with practical advice and motivational gut-punches, I Hope You Fail will teach you how to learn from your WTF moments and find fuel in your losses.

    We cannot continue to educate our children for a world that no longer exists. A glance at any employment website shows a list of job titles unheard of 20 years ago. All of them require some form of lateral thinking as the focus has shifted from mechanical processes to creative solutions. We need to train our brains to break free of habitual, conditioned thought patterns. The puzzles in this book will gradually guide the reader to start seeing information as something to be processed rather than memorized. As we learn to evaluate the facts given critically, we can work out how to fit them together in unexpected ways to achieve different outcomes. We can also improve our ability to communicate our ideas while considering other points of view. Paul D. Pantera is an entrepreneur and US Navy Sailor Senior Enlisted Leader who has trained hundreds of Junior Sailors over his 16+ year career. His goal is to provide parents, educators, and young adults with the tools to bridge the gap between their children’s education and the skills they require in the real world. One of the biggest challenges is problemsolving abilities. He has put together a practical approach to create a basic system to develop a different way of thinking. The Pantheria Life Tools are games, journals, and books with the simple goal of building productive citizens.

"I really liked this book and thought it was a good read. It essentially gives a ton of different ways to explore your own psyche. I find it to be a very helpful guide to self hypnosis. The chapter on scary dreams tremendously helped me navigate this problem with my 5 year old daughter. Now each night before bed she gets so excited to go to her personal Fanstasyland, where we often deal with the things that are troubling her in a safe and self-empowered way. For this reason alone it was worth it to me." AT
