Sinossi

1097 AD. - During the events of the First Crusade, basileus Alex Komnenos tries in vain to prevent
the massacre of thousands of Seljuk Turks residing in Nicaea. Now tainted by the horrendous crime and fearful
of his reaction, the Crusaders give him as a sign of peace gift a lonely, frightened child with no parents left.
Moved to compassion by the look on the little orphan's face, the basileus decides to take him with him and make him live at the
Grand Palace of Constantinople together with his son of the same age. That Turkish child named Yahya will go down in history
as John Axuch, and will become a close friend of the future Emperor John II.
Within a lifetime dedicated to serving the Komnenos dynasty, Axuch will ascend to the prestigious title of Grand Domestic,
becoming a well-known and respected figure even beyond the imperial borders. But even at the height of his influence,
he will never forget his original mission: to watch over the basileus John, and eventually over his heirs.

This book helps you identify your unique personality type, so you can find the hacks and tweaks that will actually work as you strive to manage stress and reignite your passion for working with students.

Psychologist Rebecca Branstetter gives you solutions that you can use while you work, so you don't have to sacrifice your scarce downtime. 
     
     
     
    Large-scale approaches to preventing educator burnout often fail to consider an important fact—educators are individuals, and no one-size-fits-all solution will fit everyone.

This book accounts for what makes you who you are, giving you options, ideas, and proven strategies that set you up for success. 
     
      
     
    This book isn't just about understanding who you are. It's about preventing burnout by aligning your work with your core strengths, values, and habits. All K-12 educators will benefit from this balanced approach to work, fostering self-compassion, mindfulness, and resilience.

Eventually, the family was caught, and ten Boom was arrested and sent to Ravensbrück concentration camp, but released after ten months due to a clerical error. Later in life, ten Boom wrote, "The Hiding Place," a biography that recounts the story of her family's efforts and how she was able to find hope while imprisoned at the concentration camp. It was later made in to a movie.

    How It Works:
