Book Description
Fourteen years of friendship. Eight years of 'trying'. Eighteen rounds of IVF and now, one beautiful baby boy. The Power of Two is a remarkable true story that shows that together we can do more than we ever thought possible. Lisa and Sarah's journey begins with a professional relationship and ends with a life-changing act of love and friendship, but this book is about so much more – a powerful ode to community, resilience, and the power summoned when we support each other. From the outside, Lisa Messenger was the consummate success story, a highly respected publishing professional, a shooting star in the entrepreneurial space. But privately, Lisa was struggling with the one thing she could not achieve through hard work and a positive attitude. She had almost given up on having a child, when her dear friend, Sarah Megginson, came to her with an extraordinary offer. This book is a deeply personal exploration of grief, hope and rebirth, for anyone who has ever been in the trenches. Together we are stronger, more resilient and infinitely more. This is the power of two.

After a lifetime of harboring shame and resentment, Christopher, a ruthless con artist, wants revenge, and unfortunately for Anna, he's decided that she will be the perfect pawn in his terrible plot.

All About Love
Author: bell hooks
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062862170
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
A New York Times bestseller and enduring classic, All About Love is the acclaimed first volume in feminist icon bell hooks' "Love Song to the Nation" trilogy. All About Love reveals what causes a polarized society, and how to heal the divisions that cause suffering. Here is the truth about love, and inspiration to help us instill caring, compassion, and strength in our homes, schools, and workplaces. “The word ‘love’ is most often defined as a noun, yet we would all love better if we used it as a verb,” writes bell hooks as she comes out fighting and on fire in All About Love. Here, at her most provocative and intensely personal, renowned scholar, cultural critic and feminist bell hooks offers a proactive new ethic for a society bereft with lovelessness--not the lack of romance, but the lack of care, compassion, and unity. People are divided, she declares, by society’s failure to provide a model for learning to love. As bell hooks uses her incisive mind to explore the question “What is love?” her answers strike at both the mind and heart. Razing the cultural paradigm that the ideal love is infused with sex and desire, she provides a new path to love that is sacred, redemptive, and healing for individuals and for a nation. The Utne Reader declared bell hooks one of the “100 Visionaries Who Can Change Your Life.” All About Love is a powerful, timely affirmation of just how profoundly her revelations can change hearts and minds for the better.

Book Description
The underlying Alpha objective is to make available the soundest criteria based on the author’s experiences as a program management practitioner. Knowledge is imparted ranging from project engineering to program management and from a functional management role to, ultimately, director-level accountability for a mission-critical program as a valued employee of a Managing and Operating contractor for a one-of-its-kind, US taxpayer-owned crude oil storage venture involving underground caverns engineered into massive naturally occurring salt domes located near the border between southwest Louisiana and southeast Texas. The overarching Alpha aim is to seed this coursebook - which accentuates the innovativeness and pioneering spirit of the 2020 decade in progress - and make its actionable knowledge available to program practitioners globally to help them deliver better outcomes by applying intelligent approaches that I found most effective.

The Will to Change
Author: bell hooks
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0743480333
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
From New York Times bestselling author, feminist pioneer, and cultural icon bell hooks, a timelessly necessary treatise on how patriarchy and toxic masculinity hurts us all, with a new introduction by poet Ross Gay. Feminist writing did not tell us about the deep inner misery of men. Everyone needs to love and be loved—including men. But to know love, men must be able to look at the ways in which patriarchal culture keeps them from understanding themselves. In The Will to Change, bell hooks provides a compassionate guide for men of all ages and identities to understand how to be in touch with their feelings, and how to express versus repress the emotions that are a fundamental part of who we are. With trademark candor and fierce intelligence, hooks addresses the most common concerns of men, such as fear of intimacy and loss of their patriarchal place in society, in new and challenging ways. The Will to Change “creates space for men to acknowledge their traumas and heal—not only for their sake, but for the sake of everyone in their lives” (BuzzFeed).
