The Energy Advantage: How to Go from Managing Your Time to Mastering Your Energy
by Ricardo SunderlandHow do you maximize your success and impact as a leader while maintaining your stamina and sanity? The answer doesn&’t lie in simple &“efficiency.&” It&’s not about making better use of your time and resources. It&’s about understanding how energy works and how to tap into its power.Many people live lives of intense, and false, emotional compartmentalization. For example, they strive to be one person in the corner office (invincible warrior) and another person at the dinner table (sensitive spouse), and they struggle to keep those two lives from bleeding into and contradicting each other. But as it turns out, this takes a tremendous amount of energy and is almost always impossible. One person can&’t be two different people.So how do you live an integrated life of fulfillment, purpose, and success? How do you create an alignment between head, heart, and the creative power that is in coherence with your true self? The answer is both simple and complex: You need to move from managing your time to mastering your energy.For more than a decade and a half, Ricardo Sunderland has worked with the leaders of some of the largest and most recognizable companies in the world. He has learned firsthand that for today&’s leaders—at all levels in their organizations—mental and physical energy are no longer all you need for success. Today&’s leaders must bring emotional and spiritual energy to their roles and create a space in which both they and their team members feel safe to challenge each other, grow together, and thrive.Given this major leadership challenge, leaders must gain the energy advantage.You will learn:What gives you energy.How to identify the energy blockers that are holding you back.That every situation presents a choice for you to unlock the transformational source of energy within you.The path to gaining the energy advantage on seven distinct levels.

Tender Paws: How Science-Based Parenting Can Transform Our Relationship with Dogs
by Wendy Lyons SunshineTender Paws takes a deep dive into the practical benefits of applying therapeutic parenting best practices to dogs in our care.When Wendy Lyons Sunshine got her first puppy—abandoned behind a gas station, struggling with worms and anemia—she was in over her head. As puppy training guides failed to help her with the out-of-control, traumatized bundle of teeth and claws rescue pup, she turned to her work helping world-class child development experts. Could strategies for raising happy, well-adjusted kids transfer to a puppy? As it turns out, yes, they can! From the first try, parenting wisdom transformed Sunshine&’s relationship with her challenging little one. Soon enough, Sunshine&’s view of her puppy shifted from one of adversity to one of compassion and understanding, and she was able to bring patience and therapeutic concepts to meet her dog&’s needs. When Sunshine reached out to experts, they affirmed that science-based principles used with at-risk children align well with best practices of holistic, positive, and progressive dog handling. Exploring parallels between human and canine research, attachment styles, history of trauma, parenting styles, and her own &“inner child&” proved a mindful path for pet parenting. Far from a standard dog training manual, Tender Paws explicitly applies parenting wisdom and best practices used with special needs kids to a cross-section of scenarios, from recognizing developmental trauma and unmet core needs, to making decisions about appropriate equipment, to responding to difficult behavior, to understanding the parenting style from which we approach our dogs. Sunshine empowers you and your dog by offering: A synthesis of the fields of child development, attachment, trauma, sensory integration, neurobiology, learning, animal behavior, and ethology. A problem-solving framework that makes dog training decisions clearer and behavior frustrations easier to resolve. Parenting wisdom to help your dog move beyond trauma and into wellness. Borrowing the principles of parenting for dogs feels obvious to some people: instinctive and ordinary and inevitable. But that&’s not true for everyone, especially those of us who had a less than ideal childhood and bear the scars of early harm, loss, trauma, or deprivation. Tender Paws provides an interdisciplinary, comprehensive, evidence-based guide for readers who want to honor the needs of—and improve outcomes for—puppies and dogs they care about.

Atlantis Ek Rahasyamay Dwip: अटलांटिस एक रहस्यमयी द्वीप
by Shivendra Suryavanshiहम जब भी अटलांटिस के बारे में सोचते हैं, हमारी आँखों के सामने सागर में डूबी एक भव्य सभ्यता नजर आने लगती है। अटलांटिस देवताओं की वह धरती जिसका जिक्र सर्वप्रथम प्लेटो ने अपनी पुस्तक ‘टाइमियस’ और ‘क्रिटियास’ में किया था। कहते हैं अटलांटिस का विज्ञान आज के विज्ञान से हजारों गुना ज्यादा बेहतर था। पर एक दिन धरती के जोर से हिलने की वजह से पूरी अटलांटिस सभ्यता कहीं सागर में समा गई। तब से लेकर आज तक वैज्ञानिक, आर्कियोलॉजिस्ट उस सभ्यता को ढूंढने का प्रयत्न कर रहे हैं। ईश्वर को ब्रह्मांड के निर्माण के लिये 7 तत्वों की आवश्यकता थी- अग्नि, जल, वायु, पृथ्वी, आकाश, ध्वनि और प्रकाश। इन 7 तत्वों से ईश्वर ने ब्रह्मांड का निर्माण किया। पर अभी भी ईश्वर की सबसे अद्वितीय रचना बाकी थी और वह थी जीवन की उत्पत्ति। जीवन की उत्पत्ति के लिये ईश्वर ने ‘ब्रह्मकण’ का निर्माण किया, जिसे अंग्रेजी में ‘गॉड-पार्टिकल’ या 'हिग्स-बोसन' कहा जाता है। इस ब्रह्मकण ने ब्रह्मांड के हर जीव का निर्माण किया। क्या था यह ब्रह्मकण? जिसने अलग-अलग प्रकार के अरबों-खरबों जीवों की रचना की, जिसने इन्हें इतना अलग-अलग बनाया। इस कथानक में जहां एक ओर तिलिस्म, जादू, चमत्कार और रहस्य है, वहीं दूसरी ओर विज्ञान की एक अद्भुत दुनिया है, जो बिग-बैंग, ब्लैक होल, नेबुला और डार्क मैटर जैसे सिद्धांतों को खोलती है। पौराणिक कथाओं और विज्ञान के ताने बाने से बुना हुआ एक अद्भुत कथानक।
Devshakti Adbhut Divyastra: देवशक्ति अद्भुत दिव्यास्त्र
by Shivendra Suryavanshiशक्ति- एक ऐसा शब्द जिसे प्राप्त करने के लिये, मनुष्य, देवता, दैत्य ही नहीं अपितु अंतरिक्ष के जीव भी सदैव लालायित रहते हैं। शक्ति का पर्याय स्वामित्व से जुड़ता है, इसलिये ब्रह्मांड के सभी जीव शक्ति को प्राप्त कर, स्वयं को श्रेष्ठ दिखाना चाहते हैं। वन में मौजूद एक सिंह भी, अन्य वन्य प्राणियों के समक्ष अपनी शक्ति का प्रदर्शन करने से नहीं चूकता। ठीक उसी प्रकार कुछ देवता भी मनुष्यों के समक्ष, अपना शक्ति प्रदर्शन कर, उनमें भय की भावना उत्पन्न करते रहते हैं। जैसे देवराज इंद्र के द्वारा जलप्रलय लाना या सूर्यदेव के द्वारा सूखे की स्थिति उत्पन्न कर देना। यह सब भी शक्ति प्रदर्शन के अद्वितीय उदाहरण हैं। दैत्यों ने हमेशा त्रिदेवों से ही शक्ति प्राप्त कर, उनका प्रयोग देवताओं के ही विरुद्ध किया है। इन शक्तियों को प्राप्त करने के लिये, मनुष्यों ने भी घोर तप किये हैं। कुछ ऐसी ही देवशक्तियों को, पृथ्वी की सुरक्षा के लिये, देवताओं ने पृथ्वी के अलग-अलग भागों में छिपा दिया, जिससे समय आने पर कुछ दिव्य मानव, उन देव शक्तियों को धारण कर, पृथ्वी की सुरक्षा का भार उठा सकें। ऐसे ही देवशक्ति धारक कुछ विलक्षण मनुष्य बाद में ब्रह्मांड रक्षक कहलाये।
Routledge Handbook of African Social Work Education (Routledge International Handbooks)
by Susan Levy, Uzoma Odera Okoye, Pius T. Tanga and Richard IngramThis timely Routledge Handbook creates a much-needed space to explore what makes social work uniquely African, as well as shaping, informing, and influencing a new culturally relevant era of social work. The specific focus on social work education offers approaches to transition away from the hegemony of Western literature, knowledge, and practice models underpinning African social work education. The authors identify what is relevant and meaningful to inform, influence, and reconceptualise culturally relevant social work curriculum. Covering Botswana, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, the Handbook comprises both empirical and conceptual chapters, multiple approaches, case studies, and key debates on social work education. It is structured in four parts:• Approaches to Indigenising, Decolonising and Developing Culturally Relevant Social Work Education• Social Work Education: Evolution across Contexts• Embedding Field Practicum into Social Work Education• Knowledge Exchange between the Global South and Global North.The range of indigenous, local knowledge that the Handbook presents is crucial to social work evolving and facilitating for reciprocal learning and knowledge exchange between the Global South and Global North. Whilst the context of the Handbook is Africa, the topics covered are relevant to a global audience engaged in social justice work across social work, social welfare, social development, and sustainability.
