You will gain an upper hand in your interaction with others that translates into higher starting salaries, greater productivity, and better relationships in which you are never the victim.

  Loosen The Grip - Strategies for...

  How can parents take back their power to discover and develop the best way to parent for their child?By hitting the pause button, shutting out all the noise that tells them how they should parent, and building the confidence to create the relationship that best nurtures and supports their children’s well-being and independence.Three years into parenting, Lisa Anderson realized that the way she was parenting wasn’t healthy for her or her daughter. She sought counseling to help her figure it out, and so began her journey of discovering the best parenting approach for her child.Lisa had her work cut out for her. When her daughter was six, the advisors at her school expressed concern that she had ADHD. Lisa took her to a psychologist who, after months of testing, diagnosed her with BRAT syndrome. “It took me a minute to realize what he meant—she was a brat.”It was at this point that Lisa realized she had never said “no” to her daughter, not because she thought it was best for her daughter, but because that’s what she knew.“I was going to create a little monster if I didn’t change my way of thinking and shift my focus from what I needed to what my daughter needed.”It was a difficult concept to understand, and an even more challenging task to achieve, but through her work on her own trauma coupled with her education and experience in social work and counseling, Lisa figured it out. Not the way to be a perfect parent, but the way to be the best parent for her child. Isn’t that what every parent really wants and what every child deserves?Fear, guilt, and social pressures are driving parents to be over-involved and their children to be overscheduled and overstressed. Children’s freedom to develop their autonomy is being restricted under the guise of keeping them safe from things we simply cannot control. Hypervigilant parenting comes at a significant cost to all of us, as is evident through the increasing number of anxious and depressed children and the emerging adults who lack the confidence and the skills to be self-sufficient. Somewhere along the way we have forgotten that our number one job as parents is to raise our children to be capable, independent adults.Something needs to change.

  How did a remote desert people change the course of world history? 
   
  In the seventh century AD, the Eastern Roman Empire collapsed—defeated by the rising power of Arabia. How did this happen? And why then? 
  In this gripping new history, Nick Holmes offers a fresh view of the end of the Ancient World and the rise of Islam—it wasn't just religion and war that shaped history, but a hidden force also played a vital role—climate change. A mysterious climatic shift—the Late Antique Little Ice Age—devastated the Roman and Persian empires while Arabia thrived. 
  The End of Antiquity brings together history, science, and religion to uncover the truth behind one of the most enigmatic centuries in history. It's the fifth book in Holmes' acclaimed series on the fall of the Roman Empire—and the most surprising yet.

  Educating for Purposeful Life documents positive change within the Anaheim Union High School District, whose overarching mission is to prepare high school graduates who possess a clear sense of purpose and the capacity to achieve their goals. Superintendent Michael Matsuda and education consultant David Brazer lay out the district's innovative approaches to organizing, leading, teaching, and learning. They demonstrate how education policy, organization theory, and external partnerships work together to scaffold student success, resulting in greater high school graduation rates and four-year college matriculation and persistence rates. 
   
   
    
  This work illuminates the district's Career Preparedness Systems Framework, which integrates affective and cognitive development opportunities, trade and professional development programs, and community engagement efforts. Matsuda and Brazer show how this framework, combined with a strengths-based approach, helps meet the educational needs of all students, including those from traditionally underserved populations. 
   
   
    
  Presenting secondary education as a means to support democracy, address employability gaps, and elevate student voice and purpose, this thought-provoking work provides ample ideas for how other districts might engage in educating for purposeful life.

  Generosity - The Joy of Giving -...

  Generosity is more than a simple act of giving; it is a way of life that touches every facet of our human experience. It begins with an open heart that is willing to see the needs of others and a spirit that recognizes the beauty in sharing. When we choose to be generous, we are not merely offering material support, but we are also extending compassion, hope, and a sense of belonging to those around us. 
  At its core, generosity stems from an understanding of our interconnectedness. Each act of kindness creates ripples that extend far beyond the initial gesture, fostering a community built on trust and empathy. In a world that often emphasizes individual success, embracing the spirit of generosity means shifting our focus toward collective well-being. This shift encourages us to see the value in every life and reminds us that our actions can inspire profound change in both ourselves and the communities we serve. 
  The spirit of generosity is nurtured by an inner belief that every blessing, whether big or small, is meant to be shared. This belief drives us to look for opportunities to help others, even in times when we ourselves face challenges. Generosity is not reserved for moments of abundance; it can flourish in the most humble settings, turning everyday interactions into powerful expressions of human kindness. It teaches us that giving is not a burden but a joyous practice that enriches our lives and deepens our connections with others.
