Remotivation - The Remote...

Sarah Aviram

Remotivation is a vital guide to help you thrive at work and beyond - no matter where you're located! 
The book is designed to help you create your own version of success by showing you how to activate 6 key motivations to work: money, identity, routines, growth, impact, and joy. 
Sarah Aviram worked remotely as a Human Resources leader from 12 different countries in 12 months while researching the future of work - from co-working spaces in Mexico City and Medellin, to cafes in Kuala Lumpur and Kyoto. 
Many remote workers she met and interviewed, thought that having the freedom and flexibility to work from anywhere would make them feel happier and more motivated at work. But then they found themselves working from the beach in Bali still feeling stuck and unfulfilled. 
Aviram realized that being able to work from anywhere was only a band aid solution for a much bigger challenge: not being motivated by the work itself. 
Through fun inspirational stories, research, and her HR expertise, Aviram shows you how to tackle challenges that might be getting in the way of your fulfillment like the pressure of others’ expectations, the guilt you have about what you “should” be doing, and inertia of routines that don’t support your goals. You’ll also be empowered with the tools you need to create more opportunities for impact, tactics to develop new skills, and ways to do more work you enjoy – whether from the office, your home, or the beach!

SET YOUR THOUGHTS FREE - A...

Raul Baez

Raul Baez was born and raised in the Bronx, New York. His early childhood consisted of massive traumatic experiences in a chaotic and dysfunctional family. At the age of thirteen, he dropped out of seventh grade and soon after embarked on twenty-six years of drug abuse. The addiction led to multiple incarcerations for a total of twenty-three years. Attempting to commit “suicide by cop” in a shootout with two NYPD police officers, he survived a barrage of bullets—thirty-two shots. In total, Raul had six near-death experiences. As a result of these events he faced over two hundred years in prison. He struggled with homelessness, depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. For all intents and purposes he should be dead or in prison for the rest of his life!
Raul unequivocally and unambiguously attributes his powerful transformation to his relationship with God. With a renewed mind, he was able to eradicate the values and belief system that subjugated him for decades. He eventually earned an associate’s degree in real estate appraisal, a bachelor’s degree in personal finance to better understand how money really works, and a master’s degree in business. He started a Sole Proprietorship, an S-CORP, and a non-profit which are the genesis of Set Your Thoughts Free. He is fully passionate about his mission to equip individuals transitioning from prison with biblical principles, character development, and financial literacy. He has developed his program with various youth organizations, high schools, and multiple prisons in New York State and New England.

The Origin and Development of...

Maynard Shipley

The Origin and Development of the Atomic Theory is a concise and illuminating journey through one of the most important ideas in human thought: the nature of matter itself. 
Written in the early twentieth century, Maynard Shipley traces the evolution of atomic theory from its philosophical beginnings in the ancient world to its emergence as a cornerstone of modern science. Beginning with the Pythagoreans and early Greek and Indian thinkers, Shipley explores how number, geometry, and speculation first shaped humanity’s attempts to understand the structure of reality. 
The narrative follows the development of atomism through Leucippus and Democritus, examining atoms and the void, causal necessity, sensory perception, and the physical properties of shape, size, and arrangement. Shipley contrasts these ideas with competing schools of thought, including the Eleatics’ denial of motion and Anaxagoras’ theory of “seeds,” before turning to Epicurus and Lucretius, whose writings defended atomism against superstition and divine design. 
In its final chapters, the book connects ancient philosophy to modern science, charting the revival of atomism through thinkers such as Descartes and Gassendi and culminating in John Dalton’s quantitative laws of chemistry. Shipley concludes by linking these early models to modern discoveries—electrons, nuclei, isotopes, and atomic number—showing how a speculative idea became a measurable scientific reality. 
Clear, thoughtful, and accessible, The Origin and Development of the Atomic Theory offers a timeless overview of how human reason slowly uncovered the hidden structure of matter—and laid the foundations of chemistry and physics as we know them.
