Summary

George Washington, the first president of the United States, was a man of remarkable character and leadership. From his early days as a military commander during the American Revolution to his two terms as president, Washington faced countless challenges and made difficult decisions that shaped the course of American history.

In this captivating book, we delve into the life and legacy of George Washington, exploring his military career, his political career, and his personal life. We examine the challenges he faced, the lessons we can learn from his leadership, and the enduring impact he has had on the United States of America.

Washington's military career was marked by both triumphs and setbacks. He led the Continental Army to victory against the British, but he also suffered defeats and endured harsh conditions. Despite these challenges, Washington never gave up. He persevered through adversity and ultimately secured American independence.

As president, Washington faced a new set of challenges. He had to create a new government and establish a new nation. He also had to deal with political divisions and foreign threats. Washington's leadership was essential in overcoming these challenges and ensuring the success of the young republic.

Beyond his military and political accomplishments, Washington was also a man of great personal character. He was known for his honesty, integrity, and compassion. He was also a devoted husband and father. Washington's personal life provides valuable lessons in leadership, ethics, and family values.

This book is a comprehensive and engaging biography of George Washington. It is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, leadership, or the life of one of the most important figures in American history.

    Do You Worry All the Time? 
 
 
 
Have you tried to control your thoughts and get your worrying under control? Did it work? If it didn't, try this simple exercise: Take thirty seconds, right here and now, and don't think about something you recently worried about. Think about anything and everything else, but don't think about that worry. 
 
 
 
How did you do? Like most of us, you probably could think of little else except whatever it was you worried about, no matter how hard you tried. This is the problem with trying to control your thoughts: Your attempts to stop worrying very often lead you to repeat and refresh the very worries you're trying to dispel. 
 
 
 
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), a revolutionary new approach to resolving a wide range of psychological problems, can help you break the cycle of chronic worry. ACT stresses letting go of your attempts to avoid, change, and get rid of worry. Instead, it shows you how to accept your feelings as they occur, without judgment. You'll learn to "de-fuse" from your worries, observing and then letting them go. Then you'll explore and commit to acting on your values, thereby creating a rich life for yourself—even with the occasional worry.

    The how-to guide for transformative leadership 
Every employee, at every level, wants to feel seen, heard, and respected. If we don’t feel safe, we can’t be our best selves or do our most creative work. This is why leaders must ensure psychological safety for everyone in their team. Whether you’re a manager, CEO, or entrepreneur, The Psychological Safety Playbook is the guide you need to lead your team to the highest levels of performance and innovation. 
The Psychological Safety Playbook invites you to explore twenty-five specific actions that will create more psychological safety in your workplace. These are all moves that every leader can adopt and practice. Each move features a description of why to try it, instructions on how to do it, and a nutshell summary. You can start anywhere in the playbook—all the plays and moves are self-contained! 
Written by Karolin Helbig, a highly respected executive mindset coach with a doctorate in human genetics and extensive consulting experience, and Minette Norman, a sought-after leadership consultant with thirty years of experience in the tech sector, The Psychological Safety Playbook is the essential guide for leaders who are committed to fostering psychological safety in their teams. 
In their combined years of business and applied practice, the authors have continually observed how creating a high-performing, innovative workforce starts with building a foundation of respect and shared humanity. When we hold back our true thoughts because we’re afraid of the consequences, everyone misses out. By contrast, when we can ask a naïve question, propose a wild idea, or share our honest emotions—that’s when psychological safety fuels team performance.

    The Forgotten Slave Trade - The...

    Everybody knows about the transatlantic slave trade. A century before Britain became involved in this terrible business, whole villages and towns in England, Ireland, Italy, Spain, and other European countries were being depopulated by slavers, who transported the men, women, and children to Africa where they were sold. This is the forgotten slave trade; one which saw over a million Christians forced into captivity in the Muslim world. 
 
 
 
Starting with the practice of slavery in the ancient world, Simon Webb traces the history of slavery in Europe, showing that the numbers involved were vast and that the victims were often treated far more cruelly than black slaves in America and the Caribbean. Castration, used very occasionally against black slaves taken across the Atlantic, was routinely carried out on an industrial scale on European boys who were exported to Africa and the Middle East. Most people are aware that the English city of Bristol was a major center for the transatlantic slave trade in the eighteenth century, but hardly anyone knows that 1,000 years earlier it had been an important staging-post for the transfer of English slaves to Africa. 
 
 
 
This book will forever change how you view the slave trade and show that many commonly held beliefs about this controversial subject are almost wholly inaccurate and mistaken.
