  In Show Up and Shimmy, certified motivational speaker Bruce Brackett delivers a stirring narrative that reminds us of what we're worth, the value we bring to the world, and our unique ability to engage with the people we care about. The book combines the straightforward, effective affirmations Brackett is known for with an unflinching and realistic look at the challenges he's faced throughout his life—and how he meets them head-on every day. 
  Show Up and Shimmy offers simple, grounded slogans that remind you to focus on the positive and “Keep Moving Forward,” even when life seems intent on doing everything it can to stop you. It offers a compelling argument for the idea that—regardless of how difficult or intimidating your circumstances are right now—there is a way forward, it is achievable, and you are worth every bit of the effort it will take. 
  Inside the book, you'll find inspiring and true details about the author's successful journey to sobriety and how he negotiated the difficult path back from the brink of serious alcohol and methamphetamine abuse; effective strategies for dealing with major obstacles and life events, including death, loss, and grief; and an original and persuasive discussion about the universal human capacities for recovery, transformation, healing, and achievement.

  “With inspiring openness and vulnerability, Jeremy shares his hard-earned wisdom of how to combat the established rules of masculinity, channel our anxiety into bold, new ideas, and grow as flawed, yet hopeful human beings. Falling Upwards is for any creative ready to heal.”—Yung Pueblo, poet and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lighter Acclaimed entrepreneur Jeremy Fall shares how to turn fresh ideas into an authentic career, challenge the old standards of masculinity, and address mental health without shame Jeremy Fall grew up blocks away from LA's infamous Skid Row with a single mom who managed a restaurant to make ends meet. At night, he’d go into the kitchen and prepare elaborate and comforting snacks—the only way he knew to calm his anxious, OCD mind. As an adult, Jeremy opened fourteen restaurants around the country, collaborated with Quincy Jones, made the “Forbes 30 Under 30” list in 2020, and became the first restaurateur to be represented by Jay Z’s Roc Nation. Having built a business persona based on wild, borderless creativity, he feared that treating his mental health issues might come at the cost of his drive and creativity—but that didn’t happen. Determined to destigmatize mental health for men, Falling Upwards blends Jeremy’s personal narrative with practical takeaways, outlining core paradigms like The Studio 54 Effect, Paperclipping, and The Power of Basic to help us harness our craziest, most out-there loose balloon ideas and make them work for us—without giving up on our own mental health.

  Spreading Joy - How Joyalukkas...

  Thrissur, on the coast of Kerala, is known as India's 'gold town'. It was here that Puthussery Alukka Joseph Varghese moved into jewellery retail from his umbrella business in the late 1950s. One of his ­fifteen children, Joy Alukkas, seemed to have inherited his father's entrepreneurial spirit. In 1986, the quest for his personal El Dorado took Joy to the modern 'city of gold': Dubai.  
  Getting to know the lay of the land, including aspects of procurement, staffing, sales and other regulations, exacerbated by the language barrier, was a challenge that could dampen any entrepreneur's spirit, but Joy persisted and opened the fi­rst 'Alukkas' jewellery store in Abu Dhabi, followed soon after by another in Dubai. Just as business was taking off, the Gulf War broke out in 1990, disrupting every aspect of life and forcing Joy to return to India. Not only did a resilient Joy go back to the Gulf some months later, but he also re-established the Alukkas footprint, opening stores within and around the UAE. In the next two decades, he expanded his business to eleven countries with more than 160 outlets, and revolutionized the gold-retailing business with innovations such as the use of karatmeter, the fi­rst billing so-ware in the industry and board rate for gold price, to mention a few. Throughout the years, the ethos of his business has remained the same: to be the 'customer's favourite jeweller'. 
  Spreading Joy not only captures a phenomenal entrepreneurial story, but also provides rare insights into an industry that has predominantly been fragmented and unorganized. Aspiring entrepreneurs, irrespective of the industry they operate in, will ­find this book of immense value as they build their dream organizations.

  Crucial Accountability - Tools...

  Hold anyone accountable. Master performance discussions. Get RESULTS. 
   
   
  Behind the problems that routinely plague our organizations and families, you'll find individuals who are either unwilling or unable to deal with broken promises. Colleagues break a rule, coworkers miss a deadline, friends fail to live up to commitments (or just plain behave badly), and nobody says a word. Nobody holds anyone accountable. With repeated infractions, individuals become increasingly upset until they finally do speak their minds, but they do so poorly--often creating whole new sets of problems. 
   
   
  Research proves that mishandled disappointments aren't just morale killers, they're institution killers--diminishing organizational performance by 20 to 50 percent and accounting for up to 90 percent of all divorces. 
   
   
  Drawing from 10,000 hours of observations, Crucial Accountability teaches you how to deal with common infractions such as: 
   
   
   An employee speaks to you in an insulting tone that crosses the line between sarcasm and insubordination. Now what? 
   
   
   Your boss just demanded that you meet a deadline you know you can't meet--and he clearly doesn't want to hear complaints about it. 
   
   
   Your son walks through the door sporting colorful new body art that raises your blood pressure by 40 points. Speak now or pay later. 
   
   
   Family members fret over how to tell Granddad that he should no longer drive his car. This is going to get ugly. 
   
   
   A nurse worries about what to say to an abusive physician. She quickly remembers "how things work around here" and decides not to say anything. 
   
   
  Everyone knows how to run for cover, or, if sufficiently provoked, step up to problems in a way that causes a real ruckus. Crucial Accountability teaches you how to deal with violated expectations in a way that solves the problem at hand without harming the relationship--and, in fact, even strengthens it. 
   
   
  Broken promises, missed deadlines, poor behavior--they don't just make others’ lives miserable; they can sap up to 50 percent of organizational performance and account for the vast majority of divorces. Crucial Accountability offers the tools for improving relationships in the workplace and in life and for resolving all these problems--permanently.
