Book Description
A person can have one traumatic experience in life, and that experience can determine the course of the rest of his or her life. One experience gave the author the idea for this manuscript. When the author saw people demonstrating at the Michigan State Capitol during the pandemic when the governor ordered lockdowns, that is when he asked the question, "Is this what they will be telling their grandchildren and great-grandchildren thirty or forty years from now?" Is this what they did with that moment in time? Then he looked at famous people who went on long before us, and he asked them what they have done with their moment. Some great entertainers, some great sporting figures, some great African American inventors, and current famous politicians. Then he concluded that our lives are filled with moments. This author concludes that your moment is your life. However, you don't go up to someone and ask them what they have done with their life because people might not be satisfied with how their life turned out. This question causes them to rationalize. Ask them what they have done with their moment, and they will talk to you all day.

How to Do Nothing

Book Description
** A New York Times Bestseller ** NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY: Time • The New Yorker • NPR • GQ • Elle • Vulture • Fortune • Boing Boing • The Irish Times • The New York Public Library • The Brooklyn Public Library "A complex, smart and ambitious book that at first reads like a self-help manual, then blossoms into a wide-ranging political manifesto."—Jonah Engel Bromwich, The New York Times Book Review One of President Barack Obama's "Favorite Books of 2019" Porchlight's Personal Development & Human Behavior Book of the Year In a world where addictive technology is designed to buy and sell our attention, and our value is determined by our 24/7 data productivity, it can seem impossible to escape. But in this inspiring field guide to dropping out of the attention economy, artist and critic Jenny Odell shows us how we can still win back our lives. Odell sees our attention as the most precious—and overdrawn—resource we have. And we must actively and continuously choose how we use it. We might not spend it on things that capitalism has deemed important … but once we can start paying a new kind of attention, she writes, we can undertake bolder forms of political action, reimagine humankind’s role in the environment, and arrive at more meaningful understandings of happiness and progress. Far from the simple anti-technology screed, or the back-to-nature meditation we read so often, How to do Nothing is an action plan for thinking outside of capitalist narratives of efficiency and techno-determinism. Provocative, timely, and utterly persuasive, this book will change how you see your place in our world.

In Your Moment
Author: Dr. Douglas Lindsay
Publisher: Outskirts Press
ISBN: 1977273114
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
Join Dr. Douglas Lindsay and Dr. Joseph Balskus as they strategically and methodically unfold the very temporal framework of a single moment and the consequences of that one moment. This compelling book hits and penetrates the heart, specifically asking how you choose to live your time and the moments that make up your time, how you show up to your moments, and how you prepare for your moments. Lindsay and Balskus introduce their own Tempus Model, which is a breakthrough, practical model for human behavior that occurs within a moment. As they unfold and dissect their Tempus Model, you will be compelled to evaluate the notion of time, within your moments. To supplement your appetite for understanding you and your moments, they present examples of those who made tremendous decisions that had favorable consequences and those who failed to maximize the moments they had, by choices they made (or didn’t make). They will wind through the entire decision process within the moment and also evaluate why some people successfully navigate moments, while others seem to have moments and consequences they regret. Each component of the model will offer a glimpse into yourself as a person, a spouse, a father, a mother, an employee, a leader. These questions, along with others found in each chapter offer time for reflection on your moments, and the pre and post-moment checklists will provide a tremendous resource for leadership growth. You will read and feel how precious and special our moments are by reading of the author’s personal stories of moments they have had to face in their own lives, including the story of one who experienced an unexpected moment. A moment no one ever wants to face but may encounter. Someone who had a promising life cut short yet, while they lived, capitalized on purposefully and effectively living each moment they had remaining. Don’t miss this reading and learning experience. Time is the single common commodity that transcends culture, occupation, societies, career choice, and so many other things. It is one incident that everyone on earth possesses. Thankfully, we get to choose what we do with it. Since we don’t directly control the amount of time we have, we are left to have significance in the moments that we do have. Start now by examining your moments, learn how to better prepare for those moments, and grow from empowering techniques to enact behaviors that are consistent with how you want to be as a person and as a leader. Lindsay and Balskus are already making an impact with their breakthrough Tempus Model by successfully presenting workshops and seminars that captivate and challenge their audiences. They believe that no one is ever off the developmental journey as a leader. Their research is compelling and this book was written to pause, document, capture, and share a unique and special perspective to help you on your journey as leaders and individuals. Join them as they joyfully and brilliantly share a perspective that their odyssey through leader development has revealed to them, IN THIS MOMENT.

Putting Meaning Into Your Moments
Author: Robert Hoff
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1643490826
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
God bless the churches that hear the truth, obey the truth, and teach the truth to others! But there are some churches that seem to be competing with the world to see who can self-destruct first! Hoff, in his book, Put Meaning Into Your Moments calls them the New Age church. He defines their errors as corruption and shows how their leaders are like King Saul, who was afraid of the people and did what they demanded. Entertainment-oriented church programs are like new movies that attract people into a theater. After they've seen it a few times, they lose interest. Kids who were initially attracted by drums and amps are now losing interest in the church. Let's just say it, "Liberal Christianity does not last. It's a fraud!" The message of the cross of Jesus Christ has the power of God in it, and the New Age church isn't preaching it! They're just making stuff up. Hoff suggests the problem is with their view of the Bible as an inaccurate narrative of creation, sin, and self. To them, Jesus is a two-thousand-year-old senior who knows nothing about cell phones, so how could He know anything about people today. It would be hard to prove this, but people who used to attend church are, no doubt, still yearning for what they didn't find when they were there. The largest church in the world would be the reassembling of these precious souls. If you can imagine yourself overcoming the frustration that is currently stifling your effect on the world around you, then Put Meaning Into Your Moments is your kind of book.

The Absolution of Abigail Reardon
Author: Gabbi Powell
Publisher: Gabbi Grey
ISBN: 1777793858
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
Royal Canadian Mounted Police Constable Malachy Corcoran takes a demotion in order to accept a front-line job far away from his old position. If he can just keep his head down, perhaps he’ll avoid the worst of the personal and professional disasters headed his way. But once in Mission City, BC, he finds the woman he once walked away from. The woman he’s never forgotten. Abigail Reardon manages the office at Healing Horses Ranch in Mission City. She never told Malachy that she decided to raise their gifted son as a single mother. The son they’d planned to give up for adoption. Malachy’s arrival in town spells disaster—what if Malachy demands parental rights in his son's life? What if he wants custody? Abby and Malachy are forming a fragile alliance to support their son, until Malachy’s past catches up with him just as they start to reach a place of peace. Keeping his new family safe might mean walking away from them. Malachy left once, trying to do the right thing—but does he have the strength to do it again? This Absolution of Abigail Reardon is a second-chance, single-parent romance with a touch of angst and a precocious ten-year-old boy. The book is the prequel to the Love in Cedar Valley series set in a small town in British Columbia, Canada.

The Moment
Author: Heidrun Friese
Publisher: Liverpool University Press
ISBN: 1781387710
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
Modern philosophical thought has a manifold tradition of emphasising ‘the moment’. ‘The moment’ demands questioning all-too-common notions of time, of past, present and future, uniqueness and repetition, rupture and continuity. This collection addresses the key questions posed by ‘the moment’, considering writers such as Nietzsche, Husserl, Benjamin and Badiou, and elucidates the connections between social theory, philosophy, literary theory and history that are opened up by this notion.
