  Karen Hough doesn't want you to be "perfect." People fear public speaking because they worry about having to conform to all sorts of handed-down rules that tie them up in knots and put their audiences to sleep. It's authenticity and passion that win people over, she says, not "polish." But you can't be authentic if you’re following guidelines that drain the life and personality out of your presentation. 
   
   
   
  Hough debunks over a dozen myths about presenting to make it more fun and natural for everyone. She explains how practicing in front of a mirror makes you worse, why you should never end with questions, and much more. She includes true stories of people who not only were able to become great presenters by being "bad" but actually came to enjoy it! Like them, by following Karen Hough's wise and witty advice, you'll be able to tear up the old rules and embrace and develop your own style. You'll be freed to be a living, breathing, occasionally clumsy human being whose enthusiasm is powerful and infectious.

  Everyday Dharma - 8 Essential...

  “Suneel Gupta shares how to chisel away the everyday layers that prevent us from clarity and joy. Written with compassion and wit, you will find yourself within its pages, and by the book’s end, it’s very possible that you will have uncovered just what most lights the fire within you.” —Sharon Salzberg, New York Times bestselling author of Lovingkindness and Real Life 
  Find your Dharma—your inner calling—and learn to integrate ambition, work, and wellbeing to create a balanced, joyous life with this practical, life-changing guide from the beloved speaker, bestselling author, and visiting scholar at Harvard Medical School. 
  We’ve been conditioned, from an early age, to believe that one day we’ll reach a moment of “arrival.” But no matter how much we achieve or acquire we still don’t feel as satisfied or as fulfilled as we thought we would be. Exhausted, we become burned out and cynical, questioning the purpose of it all. 
  An expert on happiness and work, Suneel Gupta argues that for too long society has been fixated on the Future of Work and ignored the Future of Worth. We’ve compartmentalized work and well-being and ignored the fact that both are essential for sustained success. We’ve assumed that outer success leads to inner well-being–despite history showing us that this has never been the case. 
  In Everyday Dharma, Suneel helps us break this negative cycle. A captivating storyteller, he weaves personal stories, history, science, Eastern philosophy, and Western modalities in this engaging, enlightening, and prescriptive book. He begins by helping us identify our dharma, the essence of who we are. When you’re in your Dharma, you feel confident, creative, and caring, with a sense of purpose, and that shines through your life and work. 
  Everyday Dharma provides an accessible three-step approach to discovering, understanding, and living your “sacred calling.” At its center are self-assessments to help you identify your passions and powerful rituals for building new habits—ancient practices supported by science and found in diverse cultural sources, including Toni Morrison’s novels, Jimi Hendrix’s lyrics, and Frida Kahlo’s paintings, and used by the likes of Nelson Mandela, Dr. Martin Luther King, and Mahatma Gandhi. 
  Finding your dharma empowers you to let go of anxiety, follow your wildest ambitions, produce your life’s work, and experience true joy.

  At just 13 years old, Darnell Davis took the stand as the key witness in a murder trial that would send his father to prison for life. That moment didn’t just break his family—it fractured his sense of self, setting off years of pain, anger, and isolation. The 7 Wonders of Me is Darnell’s raw and revelatory memoir of what came after: the slow, spiritual excavation of his soul—and the courageous rebuilding of a life once lost to trauma. 
  More than a memoir, this book is a healing companion. Structured around the seven chakras, The 7 Wonders of Me charts Darnell’s path from survival to self-realization—beginning with the root chakra’s call for safety and trust, and culminating in the crown chakra’s invitation to live with purpose and divine connection. Each chapter offers not just gripping personal stories, but also the insights, practices, and breakthroughs that helped him rise. 
  Whether you are walking through your own fire or seeking a deeper connection to who you are, The 7 Wonders of Me is a soul-deep guide back to your light. With equal parts spiritual wisdom and hard-won truth, this is a book for anyone ready to turn their pain into power. 
  Perfect for readers of self-help, memoir, and spiritual growth, The 7 Wonders of Me is a testament to resilience, radical honesty, and the liberating power of self-love.

  Inside the Indyref

  Indyref: the Scottish Referendum of 2014 in which 84.6% of the Scottish public voted, making it one of the largest voter turnouts in British political history.
  
  This book is an inside account of the independence referendum campaign. It captures the highs and lows and twists and turns from a perspective close to the decision-making frontline, but far enough removed to offer a dispassionate and personal perspective of the unfolding events. Wishart takes the reader back to the energy, excitement and drama of the biggest political decision the Scottish people have ever been asked to participate in – a truly immersive experience, with people previously uninterested in political campaigning engaged in trying to win for their respective camp. 
  
  The referendum changed everything in Scottish political life and its influence is felt in every one of our political institutions, and remains indelibly embedded in our political culture.
  
  There is a very real sense that the many promises made around more powers for Scotland, made during the independence referendum 
  by the uk Government, have not been realised.
  
  The independence referendum itself may be long concluded, but its impacts, effects and legacy remain very much live. There can be no doubt that many of the constitutional debates that continue to take place today have their origins in the absorbing and beguiling campaign for independence.

  The Castleton Massacre -...

  A former United Church minister massacres his family. What led to this act of femicide, and why were his victims forgotten? 
   
   
   
  On May 2, 1963, Robert Killins, a former United Church minister, slaughtered every woman in his family but one. She (and her brother) lived to tell the story of what motivated a talented man who had been widely admired, a scholar and graduate from Queen's University, to stalk and terrorize the women in his family for almost twenty years and then murder them. 
   
   
   
  Through extensive oral histories, Cook and Carson painstakingly trace the causes of a femicide in which four women and two unborn babies were murdered over the course of one bloody evening. While they situate this murderous rampage in the literature on domestic abuse and mass murders, they also explore how the two traumatized child survivors found their way back to health and happiness. Told through vivid first-person accounts, this family memoir explains how a murderer was created.
