Through the healing power of writing, Keep Moving: The Journal invites us to find beauty in the present moment, embrace change, and create a life we love.

How can employees leverage the shifting power dynamic to build their own empires? Build now and ask forgiveness later: this book shows you how. Rich with insights from personal experience and doctoral research, this is the story of more than a decade of side hustling alongside successes, and failures, in a career in corporate America. But more importantly, it is a roadmap on how to successfully incorporate a side hustle into your life in a way that supports your day job too. Not everyone starts a side hustle to eventually quit their day job, and many individuals enjoy and take pride in the dual incomes they can earn this way. This book centers and prioritizes this path. No matter their industry, this book will resonate with readers who have been burned by their side hustle (or fear that they might be), as well as HR professionals who want to support change in corporate America and leaders who value and prioritize innovation to impact their workforce for the better.
Keep Your Eye on the Marshmallow
by Bob Andelman Joachim De PosadaThe follow-up to the international bestsellers Don't Gobble the Marshmallow...Ever! and Don't Eat the Marshmallow...Yet! After facing many hardships and challenges, former chauffeur Arthur has come out on top, happily married and at the pinnacle of his career. But Arthur has always had a dream of starting his own business. In the face of a difficult economy and his own fears of success, Arthur begins to flounder in his new endeavor and forgets all of the principles his former boss, billionaire Jonathan Patient, taught him. Instead of delaying gratification, Arthur begins to eat his marshmallows again. Based on the landmark Stanford University study, the marshmallow theory details the results of an experiment where children were left alone with a marshmallow and told that if they didn't eat it they would receive an additional marshmallow in fifteen minutes. Years later, researchers discovered that the children who had chosen to wait grew up to become more successful adults than the children who had eaten their marshmallows immediately. In Don't Eat the Marshmallow...Yet! and Don't Gobble the Marshmallow...Ever!, Joachim de Posada revealed to readers that the secret to success is not merely superior intelligence or hard work, but rather the ability to delay gratification. Now, in Keep Your Eye on the Marshmallow, Posada uses the parable of Arthur's struggles after reaching the top to teach us that adhering to the marshmallow principle is especially important in uncertain economic times. True success is more than just financial gain or recognition; it's the ability to balance every aspect of life outside of work--including hobbies, family, and love--in order to enjoy your success, maintain long-term goals, and savor the marshmallows of life.

by Luke Larson Chris LowneyWhen Luke Larson and his wife Evie embarked on a 500-mile pilgrimage across northern Spain, their purpose was to experience walking as a way of keeping company with Jesus and his companions, of both earth and heaven, such as Saint Ignatius of Loyola.

Keeping Faith: A Skeptic's Journey Among Christian and Buddhist Monks
by Fenton JohnsonObserving an encounter between Catholic and Buddhist monks in 1996 at the Abbey of Gethsemani, near where he grew up in rural Kentucky, Fenton Johnson found himself unable to make the sign of the cross. His distance from his childhood faith had become so great -- he considered himself a rational, skeptical man -- that he could not participate in this most basic ritual. Impelled by this troubling experience, Johnson began a search for the meaning of the spiritual life, a journey that took him from Gethsemani to the San Francisco Zen Center, through Buddhism and back to Christianity, from paralyzing doubt to a life-enriching faith.Keeping Faith explores the depths of what it means for a skeptic to have and to keep faith. Johnson grew up with the Trappist monks, but rejected institutionalized religion as an adult. While living as a member of the Gethsemani community and the Zen Center, however, he learned to practice Christian rituals with a new discipline and studied Buddhist meditation, which brought him a new understanding of the deep relationship between sexuality and faith, body and spirit. Changed in profound ways, Johnson ultimately turned back to his childhood faith, now inflected with the accumulated wisdom of his journey.Johnson interweaves memoir, the personal and often shocking stories of Buddhist and Christian monks, and a revealing history of the contemplative life in the West. He offers lay Christians an understanding of the origins and history of their contemplative traditions and provides the groundwork needed to challenge orthodox understandings of spirituality. No matter their backgrounds, readers will find Keeping Faith a work of great power and immediacy.
Keeping Finance Personal: Ditch the “Shoulds” and the Shame and Rewrite Your Money Story
by Ellyce Fulmore&“… a clear, approachable guide to help readers untangle their relationship with money, understand the systems and inequities that impact them, and reclaim financial independence.&”―Edgar Villanueva, bestselling author of Decolonizing WealthAn intersectional approach to personal finance from queer, neurodivergent personal finance educator and TikToker, Ellyce Fulmore. There&’s no magic formula for being &“good with money.&” The perfect budgeting spreadsheet or debt repayment plan will never address the root of your money issues. When Ellyce Fulmore started her journey with personal finance, she was drowning in $35K of debt, had $60 to her name, and avoided looking at her bank account. Her own &“aha&” moment came when she realized that the reason she and so many others have struggled with finances has little to do with being &“bad with money.&” Instead, it has everything to do how identity and lived experience affect financial behaviors. Now in Keeping Finance Personal, Ellyce offers a shame-free, trauma-aware approach that explores the complex, nuanced, and deeply personal relationship between your identity and your money. With chapters exploring topics such as finding safe spaces, personal values, relationship dynamics, family systems, and culture, it&’s clear this is not your typical finance book. Readers will engage with how their upbringing, sense of self, trauma, and mental health impact their decisions, and begin a journey to change their relationship with money. This book is for the woman facing sexism at her local bank, the neurodivergent person struggling with impulse spending, the young adult questioning societal expectations, the 2SLGBTQIA+ couple searching for a place to rent—all the people that don&’t fit into the mold that traditional finance advice is aimed at. Filled with interviews from a diverse range of voices, practical exercises, and tangible tips, Keeping Finance Personal provides a path to develop a healthy money mindset and create a life where financial stability and joy coexist.
