Role of a Lifetime: Reflections on Faith, Family, and Significant Living
by Tony Dungy Nathan Whitaker James BrownWe live in a world that all too often operates under the overriding template of self-promotion, embracing a "hooray for me" attitude, and which measures success in increasingly small timeframes dotted with markers of temporal value. Millions of viewers know James Brown as a sports commentator and former athlete. With ROLE OF A LIFETIME , James reveals a different side of his character. Brown rose from a middle-class home to earn a scholarship to Harvard and a chance at a professional sports career before moving on to broadcast journalism. Part memoir and part self-help, this book draws on James's lessons from his faith and life experiences to guide readers to find fulfillment and significance. He offers values and encouragement to others of all generations, assisting them in their search for meaning in navigating a world that increasingly promotes transient values, if any at all. His message that shortcuts and gimmicks are counterproductive to a person's success provides hope that there is a God who cares about them and their futures.

Romances & Practicalities: A Love Story (Maybe Yours!) in 250 Questions
by Lindsay Jill RothWith the pop psychology of Malcolm Gladwell and the humor of Carrie Bradshaw, Romances & Practicalities combines a charming personal love story with research-backed self-help, including a set of 250 questions to help you foster deeper intimacy and get honest about what you’re really looking for in a partner.A few months into Lindsay Jill Roth’s whirlwind transatlantic courtship with a handsome Englishman, he made a comment that hit her like a gut-punch: “I don’t know you well enough yet.” Despite hours on FaceTime and swoon-worthy dates in London and NYC, Roth realized he was right: they didn’t know each other very well. And their relationship, while certainly romantic, was hardly practical. Did they even have a shared vision for the future? In the age of increasingly impersonal dating, how do you get off the dating hamster wheel and advance a relationship along the path to commitment? How do you know if you’re with “the one"?Enter Romances & Practicalities, a set of 250 research-backed questions spread across twelve categories—from money to children to chores to sex—designed to help you identify your wants, needs, and non-negotiables, assess compatibility, initiate tricky conversations with grace, and build a deeper, stronger relationship. Questions range from seemingly light and casual to intimate and serious, including:How did your family communicate, share, and argue growing up?How are we different? Might our differences be a source of future conflict?How important to you is alone-time?How important is your career in terms of your identity?How do you feel about debt? Mortgages?If we were stuck on a desert island, what strengths would you bring to help us survive?Roth weaves the questions with her own love story, provocative interviews with couples who’ve used the system, and practical guidance from a diverse range of clinical and popular experts including Lori Gottlieb, Nicole LePera, Mark Hyman, Emily Morse, Suze Orman, Nate Berkus, and Barbara Corcoran.Roth’s wise and witty narrative explores the reasons we don’t often equate romance with practicality, and arrives at a surprising truth: healthy communication isn’t just vital, it’s sexy.

Roots of Gratitude
by Daria HosseinyounIf you had it all, what would you do? At the age of 20, Daria felt he had everything and nothing. To outside observers, he had it all: a loving family, a beautiful girlfriend, materials riches, and a family business waiting for him to assume leadership, but there was a gnawing feeling that something was missing. When Daria's friend dies at the age of 21, he is shaken at the roots. Witnessing death for the first time, he questions every aspect of life including the origins of suffering and happiness. He wonders why he is following the herd in a life-consuming race towards emptiness. Hungry for meaning, he leaves everything he's ever known to expose himself to the reality of the world through his own experience. His journey takes him on an expedition through the countryside of Mongolia where he learns of generosity, surfing the coasts of Bali, experiences the essence of martial arts from Aikido masters and back-country snowboarding in Japan. He ventures through India, learning yoga and meditation, and finds a prominent monk in Nepal who "freezes" him, shifting his understanding of the world around him. With his new found knowledge, he sets out on a 12-day trek to witness the colossal peaks of the Everest region, where his experience is nothing short of the divine. Daria's path leads him to snakes and stitches, avalanches and wolves, death and rebirth in order to return to society and impart one message: a new-found understanding. Daria makes no claims to be a saint or a revolutionary. He faces the same dilemmas that many of us face on a daily basis and through his mistakes gains a better understanding of who he is and how he wants to live his life. Roots of Gratitude presents an inspirational and captivating journey of a young man's search for his true self. By sharing his experiences with readers - his struggles between following his dreams and societal expectations, and his magnificent spiritual awakening - he imparts courage to follow our hearts and to experience the world for ourselves, so that we may all find a way to our true (and grateful) selves.

Rota se camina igual
by Lorena PronskyLorena Pronsky impuso un nuevo lenguaje en este libro, que lo convirtió clásico entre sus lectores. Rota se camina igual tiene un discurso fiel y contundente que nombra de forma precisa y lacerante las vivencias que todos, en algún momento de nuestra vida, atravesamos. Rota se camina igual es un libro no solo fue un éxito de ventas sino que también se instaló rápidamente como un clásico. Difícil de catalogar dentro de un género literario, Lorena Pronsky logra conmover al lector a través de un lenguaje disruptivo pero sencillo, a través de relatos que nos invitan a conectarnos con nuestras emociones. Apoyada en la herida como parte inevitable de la vida, nos muestra de qué manera podemos darles un nuevo destino a esos dolores que se nos imponen. En este viaje de reencuentro con nosotros mismos nos iremos identificando con las heridas de la pérdida, del abandono, del desamor, y así entender que siempre tendremos dos caminos para elegir: aferrarnos a ese dolor que nos deja en pausa, o bien comprender que asumir la realidad es el primer escalón para reinventarnos e iniciar una nueva etapa. Aceptar que estamos atravesados por tormentas que han dejado una marca indeleble nos enseña que "continuar" es una palabra que encierra todas las posibilidades aún desconocidas. Solo tenemos que tomar ese envión interior para darnos cuenta de que, a pesar de nuestras fisuras personales, rota se camina igual.
Rough Patch: How a Year in the Garden Brought Me Back to Life
by Kathy SlackWhen Kathy was forced to quit her high-flying career in London, she was a wreck - burnt out, anxious, consumed by depression. But she found solace in an unlikely place - the veg patch. She put her hands in the soil and found a way to grow, to sow some small seeds of hope.In Rough Patch, Kathy draws us into the world of the kitchen garden to reflect on the lessons she learnt from the soil, along with sharing recipes inspired by the land. Weaving together her own story of recovery with the year she spent growing and cooking her harvests, Kathy realises that the two are tightly bound together and that reconnecting with the earth could restore her hope and renew her life. Along the way there are tales of marauding pigs, transformative insights from planting leeks, recipes for an unchecked courgette glut and the discovery of why a radish seed is worth staying alive for. The result is a candid, hopeful and sometimes funny story about the healing powers of nature; a quiet manifesto for a more connected life.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio
