Book Description
Cletus and Bocephus are back! While working on their science fair project on mealworms, they learn to appreciate and understand each other's strengths and weaknesses. Creativity needs structure and structure needs creativity...and Cletus and Bocephus BOTH need to know how to plan and prioritize! "You learn from mistakes and use what you learn, so you don't make those mistakes again. Every time you play a video game, you plan and prioritize to WIN!" This storybook is the second in the Functioning Executive book series. It highlights the importance of planning and prioritizing. It also spotlights the unique differences and strengths that live in all of us. This book will help teach children to determine the necessary steps, in order, towards fulfilling a goal which is a vital executive function skill. Children who possess effective prioritizing skills can learn to manage not only daily responsibilities, but also how to prepare for future success. Planning and prioritizing are two of the most difficult executive function skills for people to master. Planning effectively is the thinking skill that helps an individual develop strategies to accomplish goals. It allows a person to think about completing a task before it is started. Life is all about making choices. Prioritizing effectively helps a person make the best choices possible. Time is a limited commodity. To get the most out of your time and accomplish all that you need to do, you have to be able to plan and prioritize both on a long and short-term basis.

Book Description
In this “beautiful, heartfelt, and ultimately important story about love, kinship, gratitude, and miracles” (Elizabeth Gilbert, #1 New York Times bestselling author), a beloved high school English teacher with terminal brain cancer undertakes a cross-country journey to reunite with his former students in order to find out if he made a difference and discovers what is truly important in life along the way. David Menasche lived for his work as a high school English teacher. His passion inspired his students, and between lessons on Shakespeare and sentence structure, he forged a unique bond with his kids, buoying them through personal struggles while sharing valuable life lessons. When brain cancer ultimately stole David’s vision, memory, mobility, and—most tragically of all—his ability to continue teaching, he was devastated by the thought that he would no longer have the chance to impact his students’ lives each day. But teaching was something Menasche just couldn’t give up. Undaunted by the difficult road ahead of him, he decided to end his treatments and make life his classroom. He turned to Facebook with an audacious plan: a journey across America—by bus, by train, by red-tipped cane—in hopes of seeing firsthand how his kids were faring in life. Had he made a difference? Within forty-eight hours of posting, former students in more than fifty cities replied with offers of support and shelter. Traveling more than eight thousand miles from Miami to New York, and visiting hundreds of his students, David’s fearless journey explores the things we all want and need out of life—family, security, independence, love, adventure—and forces us to stop to consider what truly matters in life. Evocative, moving, and inspirational, Priority List “is a rousing testimony to the ways in which, in the face of death, living fully in the present moment becomes possible” (Publishers Weekly).

Book Description
Priorities: Reaching the Life God Intended grew out of Dr. Mark Ballard's long-term study and experience. He said, "I'm passionate about helping you discover your God-given priorities. I believe priorities will do for you what they did for me." For Ballard, priorities changed an expected high school dropout into class valedictorian. Priorities helped him earn a college degree, two graduate degrees, and become a college founder and president. Along the way, priorities helped him plant and pastor multiple churches. What can priorities do for you? Everyone has a limited amount of time, talents, and treasures. How are you using yours? Priorities will guide you to use rather than lose your time. Priorities will help you invest your talents and treasures wisely and effectively. Priorities was written to help you discover and accomplish your God-given priorities. You will learn a simple process drawn from Ballard's practical expositions of Haggai. Haggai prophesied to ancient people with contemporary priority problems. Ballard added insights from personal experience. Each chapter concludes with positive exhortations. You will be equipped to: - distinguish actual priorities from aspirational priorities; - make decisions based on personal priorities; - discover your life mission; - experience the joy and freedom of living out your God-given priorities; and - reach the life God intended.

Book Description
Life lessons used to be transmitted from one generation to another through stories. While the internet-age has connected people, we are only concentrating on the here and now. Hindsight is needed to help us move forward. PRIORITIES… is about understanding what is essential for each of us, as individuals. Like reading someone’s journal or having tea with an ‘auntie’, PRIORITIES… is filled with stories about the good ol’ days and how people coped with difficult situations. PRIORITIES… was not written to give people answers. It was written to make people think: about the choices they – as individuals, or couples, or families – need to make to evolve and move forward.

Book Description
“Meera, stop telling stories,” I was told. To me, it was a Calmness, which had the Turbulence of a Rough Sea, and a Tsunami of Currents hitting my Mind with Questions. Sometimes, I screamed in the silence, like a Bud in the Blossoming stage, Sometimes, I accepted the Sometimes, Sometimes, I ran from the Situation, And Sometimes, the SAME Situation brought me back to The Reality! The Reality, where I illustrated my ‘Illusions to Happiness’ and said: “Why not create Stories if that’s My Strength?” And I realized: Yes, Happiness is in Creating Stories. And I went blogging my Learning as A Happiness for 100 straight days, sharing my Experience and reflecting what I resonated, CREATING MY LEGACY Called HAPPINESS!

Book Description
Winner of the René Wellek Prize Named a Best Book of the Year by The Guardian, The Millions, and The Sydney Morning Herald This Life offers a profoundly inspiring basis for transforming our lives, demonstrating that our commitment to freedom and democracy should lead us beyond both religion and capitalism. Philosopher Martin Hägglund argues that we need to cultivate not a religious faith in eternity but a secular faith devoted to our finite life together. He shows that all spiritual questions of freedom are inseparable from economic and material conditions: what matters is how we treat one another in this life and what we do with our time. Engaging with great philosophers from Aristotle to Hegel and Marx, literary writers from Dante to Proust and Knausgaard, political economists from Mill to Keynes and Hayek, and religious thinkers from Augustine to Kierkegaard and Martin Luther King, Jr., Hägglund points the way to an emancipated life.
