Que venha o crash!
by João Campos Monteiro Richard StookerO dólar americano oscila à beira da catástrofe. Pela primeira vez na história, a dívida do governo mais poderoso da Terra, que lidera a maior economia do mundo, foi baixada pela Standard & Poors de um Perfeito Triplo AAA para AA. A arrogância política dos Republicanos e Democratas sobre o teto da dívida, fez com que muitos americanos e outras pessoas à volta do mundo duvidassem da nossa liderança. E muita gente acha que o acordo final não foi tão longe quanto deveria ter ido, na redução dos gastos do governo. A dívida do governo dos EUA é agora igual ao Produto Interno Bruto (PIB). A crise financeira de 2007-2009, parece ter sido o primeiro passo em direção a uma depressão deflacionária, que poderia destruir as economias de três gerações de americanos. Estivemos tecnicamente a "recuperar" desde março de 2009, mas, apesar de todas as ações do governo e do Fed para estimular a economia dos EUA, o desemprego continua teimosamente acima de 9%. É esta a previsão, a não ser que a quantidade maciça de dinheiro injetada pelo governo, desencadeie uma onda de hiperinflação. O dólar dos EUA atingiu recentemente novos mínimos face ao iene japonês e ao franco suíço, apesar das massivas intervenções dos bancos centrais dos dois países. A China alienou 97% das suas participações de títulos do Tesouro dos EUA de curto prazo. Isto aconteceu em março de 2011, muito antes da baixa de notação atual. A China ainda detém muitos bilhões de dólares de títulos do Tesouro de longo prazo dos EU e está claramente preocupada com o futuro. Estão a montar um grande espetáculo de apoio à economia Europeia, para que assim tenham uma alternativa ao dólar norte-americano. O que se está a passar connosco, para que o maior país comunista na Terra tenha que nos dar lições sobre a forma de gerir a nossa moeda? Se esses países começassem a vender dólares norte americanos em vez de

How to Be Present in an Absent World: A Leader's Guide to Showing Up, Paying Attention, and Becoming Fully Human
by Daniel MontgomeryTake Ownership of Your Life in Every Area of Influence Many people today feel overworked, overbooked, and burned out. They long for purposeful and meaningful lives. We're plugged into every social network we can find, yet we feel more disconnected than ever. And in our most honest moments, we can't help but look in the mirror and ask: How long can I keep this up? Montgomery, Webb, and Silva believe the pain we experience as leaders is a function of absence--living disconnected from our true selves and lacking deep, meaningful relationships with others. The remedy lies in rediscovering what it means to be truly present as a leader by embracing our humanity and extending it to those we lead. How to Be Present in an Absent World is a guide for cultivating a self-awareness that empowers you to take ownership of your life in every area of influence. It provides a biblical way to handle the daily pressures of life without denying, escaping, or outrunning the present, past, or future. Montgomery and his coauthors, Webb and Silva, equip you with the kind of self-understanding that allows you to overcome obstacles--whether in your church, in your job, or in your family--that were previously discouraging and seemingly insurmountable.

Inexplicably Me: A Story of Labels, Worthiness, and Refusing to Be Boxed In
by Chelsea Austin Montgomery-Duban WächterA hilariously moving and inspirational memoir of a girl with two gay dads, navigating her way through life with joy, love, gratitude, and an excellent sense of humor. As the daughter of two gay fathers in the 90s, Chelsea has always had a different outlook than some people. And yet, her message is one of universal importance – love is the most important force in the world. Through her moving and at times hilarious memoir, Chelsea reflects on how we are all much more similar than we are different. Living &“two doors down from normal,&” Chelsea quickly learned that society loves to put people in boxes, but these boxes do not always reflect how we feel about ourselves. Through Inexplicably Me, Chelsea works to bring people together in love and acceptance and to illustrate that, while her story may seem worlds away from others, we all strive for happiness and love. From sharing the stage with President Obama when she was only eighteen years old, to her father spending her senior year of college in federal prison camp, to her biological mother dying of cancer when she was only 56, Chelsea explores her painful and joyful experiences with the hope that readers will find inspiration to face their own challenges and embrace their own joys. Inexplicably Me is a bridge for those who fear what they don&’t understand, as well as a possibility for those who have lacked love in their lives to see how they can start to access their self-worth, begin achieving their dreams, and start loving themselves again. Most of all, it is a reminder that everyone will have an opinion about who you are supposed to be, but you, and only you, get to decide exactly who it is you want to be.

21 Days to Resilience: How to Transcend the Daily Grind, Deal with the Tough Stuff, and Discover Your Strongest Self
by Zelana MontminyHappiness is not about wishful thinking, good luck, or avoiding negative thoughts. In fact, the only path to true happiness requires seeing challenges as opportunities and discovering emotional strength during times of struggle. In other words, it's about resilience. Resilience is a quality most of us want to possess. The big issue is that no one knows how to access it in their day-to-day life. We understand that it's important, that it's crucial even, but it seems like an ephemeral thing that you either have or you don't. How we actually attain the skills to become resilient has been left out of the conversation. Until now.In 21 Days to Resilience, Dr. Zelana Montminy, a leading expert in positive psychology, offers a practical, science-backed toolkit to develop your capacity to handle whatever life throws your way—and thrive. Each day of her powerful program, Dr. Montminy introduces a key trait necessary to improve resiliency and enhance wellbeing, such as gratitude, focus, playfulness, self-respect, and flexibility, then provides three simple tasks to accomplish that day—one in the morning, one during the day, and one in the evening. In addition, the book offers a "Take Stock" section that will help you gauge your current level of skill and each chapter ends with a "Lifelong" exercise that offers ways to build the skill as needed to keep your resiliency muscles strong.Dr. Montminy writes, "Being resilient does not mean that you won't encounter problems or have difficulties overcoming a challenge in your life. The difference is that resilient people don't let their adversity define them. At its core, resilience is about being capable and strong enough to persevere in adverse or stressful conditions—and to take away positive meaning from that experience. Living with resilience is more than just bouncing back; it is about shifting our perceptions, changing our responses, and growing from them." Combining proven science, unique exercises, and insights from real-life experience, 21 Days to Resilience lays the foundation for happiness and shows you how to build your strength to carry you through the rest of your life.

Organized to be read a chapter a day, Josh meets you in your busy, hectic schedule and reveals a biblical plan to revitalize your life in as little as seven days.
