The Conversation

SHORTLISTED FOR THE FT MCKINSEY BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2021 FT BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2021 Racial divisions play out as starkly in the workplace as they do in wider society. What can YOU do to eradicate the bias and create a more diverse, inclusive and equitable environment? "A one-stop resource for anyone wanting to understand the causes and manifestations of racism, to examine their own biases - and know what works to advance racial equity at work." - FT ________________ Racial equity is achievable. But the honest conversations we need to have to foster that change can be uncomfortable - and are all too often avoided. Drawing together years of academic research from the fields of psychology, sociology, management, and behavioural economics, Robert Livingston has created the ultimate solutions-oriented guide for those who want to transform the social order, but are unsure of how to go about it. With clarity, wit and deep understanding, The Conversation aims to combat this uncertainty by increasing confidence, capacity, and commitment to engaging in racial dialogue. In helping us to better understand how effective discussion is key to resolving the problem of racism in society and the workplace, The Conversation is an essential tool for uprooting entrenched biases and transforming well-intentioned statements on diversity into concrete actions and measurable outcomes. ________________ "A critical resource for those committed to combating bias and expanding inclusion and belonging." -Brian Chesky, CEO of AirBnb "An absolutely critical contribution to the much needed efforts to understand and combat racism in the corporate realm. Compulsory reading for all serious leaders and people who aspire to lead." - Nels Abbey, author of Think Like A White Man

Fighting for Our Lives: The Raw True Story of One Mother's Battle for Life for Her and Her Baby , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 241min

At age 29, best-selling author Heather Choate was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was 10 weeks pregnant with her sixth child. Her unborn baby became victim to the fast-spreading and highly dangerous cancer in Heather's body that already spread to her lymph nodes. Doctors told her she needed to abort her baby to save her life. Heather told them, "I'd rather die than take the life of my baby." She and her husband set out to find a way to save both her and her baby. The journey pushed them to the fringes of their stamina, tested the strength of their familial relationships, and found them clinging to their faith like it was the last bit of thread on a lifeline. We all have unexpected adversity in life. It's those things that we think "will never happen to us". It could be the loss of job, the birth of a special needs child, the downturn of the economy, or an unexpected health challenge. Most of us would easily crumble under such circumstances, but Heather found that it's not about what happens to you, it's about what you do with it. You don't have to almost die to learn how to live, and Heather shows us how. Despite adversity, nearly impossible challenges can be met, families can be strengthened, and faith can sustain even the most desperate souls on their journey. She brings her role as cancer-warrior into the real lives of listeners, addressing topics that affect them most: dealing with doubt and insecurity, discovering who they really are, renewing their passion, negotiating family strife, releasing relentless regrets, succeeding against temptation, weathering their worst fears, pressing on against fatigue and illness, uprooting bitterness, and more. Fighting for Our Lives takes listeners on a journey of self-examination, appreciation for the beauties of today, and leaves them with a takeaway that could actually change their lives. ungekürzt.

Let It Be , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 323min

Let It Be is an extraordinary story inspired by the music of The Beatles. Newly-separated Michelle Jansen longs to create a new life for herself and her children, Joseph and Pam, but making a fresh start isn't easy. A fresh start means upheaval - uprooting her family, moving across the state of Texas, settling into a too-small home, and entering the workforce - giving up the family's old life in search of something new and better. But even in the midst of chaos, Michelle experiences an awakening: she rediscovers her love of The Beatles and finds solace in the Let It Be album. She joins, and adapts to, the workplace, and she finds promise in a burgeoning relationship with a man who loves her without trying to control her. Soon, however, Michelle realizes that her overbearing ex-husband is willing to destroy her new life if he can't have her to himself. Given the past, her ex's behavior is no real surprise, but when she is betrayed by her own son, Michelle is hurt in an unexpected, almost unimaginable way. When passion and rage collide, one man will nearly lose his life, one will lose his freedom, and one family will never be the same. Can this fractured family find healing and forgiveness in the midst of guilt and sorrow? Or will love give them the strength to let it be? A powerful story of loss, longing, and forgiveness that unfolds under West Texas skies, Let It Be is a mesmerizing debut novel. Part family saga, part coming-of-age tale, part testament to the power of a mother's love, Let It Be chronicles the breakup of a marriage, the destruction of a family, and the struggle to come together in the aftermath of what remains. ungekürzt.

My Glory Was I Had Such Friends: A Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 740min

In this moving memoir about the power of friendship and the resilience of the human spirit, Amy Silverstein tells the story of the extraordinary group of women who supported her as she waited on the precipice for a life-saving heart transplant. Nearly 26 years after receiving her first heart transplant, Amy Silverstein's donor heart plummeted into failure. If she wanted to live, she had to take on the grueling quest for a new heart - immediately. A shot at survival meant uprooting her life and moving across the country to California. When her friends heard of her plans, there was only one reaction: "I'm there." Nine remarkable women - Joy, Jill, Leja, Jody, Lauren, Robin, Valerie, Ann, and Jane - put demanding jobs and pressing family obligations on hold to fly across the country and be by Amy's side. Creating a calendar spreadsheet, the women - some of them strangers to one another - passed the baton of friendship, one to the next, and headed straight and strong into the battle to help save Amy's life. Empowered by the kind of empathy that can only grow with age, these women, each knowing Amy from different stages of her life, banded together to provide her with something that medicine alone could not. Sleeping on a cot beside her bed, they rubbed her back and feet when the pain was unbearable, adorned her room with death-distracting decorations, and engaged in their "best talks ever". They saw the true measure of their friend's strength, and they each responded in kind. My Glory Was I Had Such Friends is a tribute to these women and the intense hours they spent together - hours of heightened emotion and self-awareness, where everything was laid bare. Candid and heartrending, this once-in-a-lifetime story of connection and empathy is a powerful reminder of the ultimate importance of "showing up" for those we love. ungekürzt. Language: English.
