Book Description
This memoir of life as a committed pedestrian in a beautiful Southern city explores the many joys and benefits of walking as a way of life. Raised on the notion that driving is the essence of freedom, many of us still cling to the belief that the American Dream is defined by a house in the suburbs and a car in the garage. But in Why I Walk, Kevin Klinkenberg shares a very different dream life—and a very different kind of freedom. A few years ago, Kevin moved to Savannah, Georgia, from Kansas City, Missouri. In large part, he chose his new home because he was seeking a truly walkable place to live. Going beyond the typical arguments against suburbia, he shows how walking on a daily basis has improved his health, finances, social life, and sense of personal freedom. By focusing directly on the real, measurable advantages of choosing to be a pedestrian, Why I Walk makes a convincing case for ending our love affair with the automobile—and rekindling the romance of walking.

A Step in the Right Direction
Author: Morten Søndergaard
Publisher: Book*hug Press
ISBN: 9781927040096
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Poetry. Translated from the Danish by Barbara Haveland. A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION is a series of meditations on walking. Divided into four major songs, or cantos, each one explores the act of walking from a different point of view: As a social activity; as an act of love; as a condition for thought; and as an inspiration for art. In this new collection, Morten S ndergaard continues a line of thought he first developed in Bees Die Sleeping and continued in VINCI, LATER (which was published in English in 2005). "Morten S ndergaard carefully brushes the lint off our shoulders, then crouches behind the controls of his poems and does everything to dislodge us from our feet. As doomful and slapstick as Beckett, he gives voice to the ground we stomp all over, and the stuff aside from people that peoples our world."--Stuart Ross

Pages : 100
Book Description
I started writing this book years ago during a very difficult moment in graduate school. I didn’t realize it at the time, but writing this book became my way of motivating and encouraging my way through this difficult time. This moment encouraged me to write something that would encourage other people who might also be going through a difficult time. I wanted people to believe in themselves and not to allow the limitations that others place on them or the hardships of life to get the best of them. This book is also my reflection on the power of God and everything He has meant to my life. It is a source of encouragement for anyone and everyone that needs it! This book highlights moments where I had a choice of going either left or right, backwards or forwards, to listen or not to listen, or to give up or keep going. These are inspirational moments and moments of impact. These are the moments I call A Few Steps in the Right Direction! We all have these moments. Moments that somehow leave a lasting impact on the direction of our lives. Some come out of nowhere, whereas others we see coming like headlights on a dark road. Nevertheless, if handled carefully, these moments can serve as a few steps in the right direction if we allow them to. So, in this book, I aim to share some of those moments with you from my life and what that has meant for my journey. I hope it blesses you as much as it blessed me.

Flow
Author: Ted Kallman
Publisher: Morgan James Publishing
ISBN: 1683506464
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
Simple is seldom easy to implement. However, as a recent Flow trainee puts it, “Flow ‘plays nice’ with everyone! And, it will enable you to successfully customize and implement whatever solution you choose.” Flow is the distillation of over fifty years of successful, hands-on experience that has delivered more than 100 million US dollars in value-add to companies in Europe, the United States, and Asia. Putting Flow into practice, one company increased profit $550,000 in one year on $2.5 million of revenue, and a large Asian telecom turned around a mission critical project from a projected 2-year schedule overrun and 300% budget increase to delivering seven months early and $4 million under the original budget in a 90-day period. Ted and Andrew Kallman unify Traditional management and Agile methodologies enabling successful results, regardless of the existing leadership framework. Simple and easy to understand, Flow helps individuals, teams, and organizations create and sustain high performance.

The Principle of the Path
Author: Andy Stanley
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
ISBN: 1418578169
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
Join bestselling author Andy Stanley as he gives you the tools you need to find your path in life and avoid the detours, obstacles, and potholes along the way. Not where you want to be? Wondering how to get there? What if you knew the answer to those questions? What if there was one simple idea that explained why so many people stray from their destiny? Stanley believes there is, and it's called the principle of the path. And not only does it explain the disappointment and regret that characterize the lives of so many, it gives you the tools you need to be the exception. In The Principle of the Path, Stanley addresses the key questions that so many of us have asked ourselves: Why do our expectations about our future often go unmet? Why is it that smart people with admirable life goals often end up far from where they intended to be? Why do so many people start out with a clear picture of where they want to be relationally, financially, and professionally and yet years later find themselves far from their desired destination? Praise for The Principle of the Path: "As Billy Graham's son, and a preacher myself, I have seen firsthand the devastating consequences of choosing the wrong path in life. Andy Stanley writes about the importance of following the path that is set before us as stated in the Bible. May all who read these words be obedient in their daily walk with the Savior." --Franklin Graham President & CEO, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan's Purse "As a young man, I did a lot of stupid things. Those dumb decisions and bad behaviors led me straight into bankruptcy and heartache. But once I changed directions and started doing smart things with my life and money, I started winning. It's really that simple. If you don't want to learn this life-changing principle like I did—the hard way—then you need to read Andy Stanley’s The Principle of the Path. I just wish I had a copy of it twenty years ago!" --Dave Ramsey, host of The Dave Ramsey Show and best-selling author of Total Money Makeover
