How to Be Queer - An Ancient...

Sarah Nooter

The idea of sexual fluidity may seem new, but it is at least as old as the ancient Greeks, who wrote about queer experiences with remarkable frankness, wit, and insight. How to Be Queer is an infatuating collection of these writings about desire, love, and lust between men, between women, and between humans and gods, in lucid and lively new translations. 
 
 
 
How to Be Queer starts with Homer's Iliad and moves through lyric poetry, tragedy, comedy, philosophy, and biography, drawing on a wide range of authors, including Sappho, Plato, Anacreon, Pindar, Theognis, Aristophanes, and Xenophon. It features both beautiful poetry and thought-provoking prose, emotional outpourings and humorous anecdotes. From Homer's story of the relationship between Achilles and Patroclus, one of the most intense between men in world literature, to Sappho's lyrics on the pleasures and pains of loving women, these writings show the many meanings of what the Greeks called eros. 
 
 
 
Complete with brief introductions to the selections, How to Be Queer reveals what the Greeks knew long ago—that the erotic and queer are a source of life and a cause for celebration.

The Proactive Leader

Sherif Khaled

The proactive leader does not wait for danger. 
 They do not respond to crises after they occur. 
 Instead, they read the signals while the threat is still an idea, 
 and neutralize it before it turns into a catastrophe. 
This book is not about reaction; 
 it is about a mind that operates ahead of time, 
 seeing what others cannot see, 
 and acting in the narrow space that exists just before the moment of explosion. 
The Proactive Leader reveals how leadership is built 
 on anticipation, analysis, and calm control of the situation, 
 and how experience evolves from the mere accumulation of years 
 into a mental capability that prevents danger before it is born. 
You will discover the mindset of a leader 
 who is not only concerned with extinguishing fires, 
 but with preventing them from igniting in the first place, 
 creating a safe environment where others never realize 
 how close the threat truly was. 
If you believe that the greatest victories 
 are the ones no one ever sees, 
 and that true leadership is measured by what never happened, 
 then this book was written for you.
