  In the heart of one of the most complex environments in the world—an environment where airplanes move every minute, thousands of passengers flow through, and hundreds of sensitive systems operate without pause—one man stands in the critical moments to resolve the battle within seconds: 
  the Airport Fire Commander. 
  This commander does not think like a traditional firefighter… 
  He thinks with an entirely different mindset— 
  A mindset that balances speed with discipline, boldness with calculation, and courage with the ability to see the full picture before a small spark turns into an incident that changes the airport’s history. 
  The airport fire commander begins his thinking from the future, not from the incident. 
  He thinks about the scenario before it happens… 
  The mistakes before they occur… 
  And the path the flames may follow before anyone else can see it. 
  He thinks in the language of the “golden time”—those few seconds that determine whether the airport will shut down… or continue operating. 
  He thinks about the optimal positioning of vehicles, the wind direction, the amount of fuel onboard, and the weak points at which the structure may collapse. 
  He thinks of the passengers before the foam… 
  Of evacuation before water… 
  Of control before confrontation. 
  He does not see the fire as a mass of flames… 
  He sees it as an equation: 
  Information, flame behavior, smoke movement, thermal energy, spread patterns, and teams working under immense pressure. 
  And so, his thinking is built on three pillars: 
  Speed – Precision – Leadership.

  The Upstairs Delicatessen - On...

  Reading and eating, like Krazy and Ignatz, Sturm und Drang, prosciutto and melon, Simon and Schuster, and radishes and butter, have always, for me, simply gone together. The book is a product of these combined gluttonies. 
   
   
   
  Dwight Garner, the beloved New York Times critic and the author of Garner's Quotations, serves up the intertwined pleasures of books and food. The product of a lifetime of obsessively reading, eating, and every combination therein, The Upstairs Delicatessen: On Eating, Reading, Reading About Eating, and Eating While Reading is a charming, emotional memoir that only Garner could write. In it, he records the voices of great writers and the stories from his life that fill his mind as he moves through the sections of the day and of this book: breakfast, lunch, shopping, the occasional nap, drinking, and dinner. 
   
   
   
  Through his lifelong infatuation with these twin joys, we meet the man behind the pages and the plates, and a portrait of Garner, eager and insatiable, emerges. He writes with tenderness and humor about his mayonnaise-laden childhood in West Virginia and Naples, Florida (and his father's famous peanut butter and pickle sandwich), his mind-opening marriage to a chef from a foodie family, and the words and dishes closest to his heart. This is a book to be savored, though it may just whet your appetite for more.

  We are much more than our personality type. The Enneagram Map to Your Deeper Self is an invitation to see ourselves as more than we believe we are, to learn and engage practices that liberate us from automatic patterns.  The Enneagram Map to Your Deeper Self is an invitation to see yourself as more than your personality type and engage in practices that liberate you from automatic patterns. Certified Narrative Enneagram teacher Sandra Smith, MDiv, has taught the Enneagram internationally as a tool for personal, professional, and spiritual development for over twenty-two years. She shows readers how to deepen their use of the Enneagram in support of their spiritual lives as well as psychological health.   With clarity and consistency, this book shows how to understand your Enneagram type without reinforcing the patterns of your type. The gift of the Enneagram is its accuracy to show us the motivations beneath behaviors and egoic patterns that limit us and keep us from growing. The Enneagram Map to Your Deeper Self discusses the makeup of these patterns and gives us a greater capacity to unhook from them. Free from these habits, we are able to live more mindfully and grow into our full dimensionality, becoming more of ourselves.   Smith provides a detailed teaching of the components of the Enneagram type structures along with type-specific practices to counter automatic patterns. Also included are contributions from a diverse range of Enneagram practitioners. With their help, Smith dives into the components of the Enneagram types to tease out the patterns and pitfalls preventing us from living our radiance. Prayers, poems, and practices beckon us out of our confining comfort zones and into witnessing and honoring our lives.
