  A Time For Color (eBook, ePUB)

  A beautifully illustrated and stirring story that reminds us to never lose wonder and gratitude for the simple joys in life. A touching and timeless story that captures the importance of living in the present. A joyous young boy lives life with zest and vibrance until he gets older and forgets the simple marvels that make each day special. Artfully written in rhyme and with bold painterly illustrations by Thomas J. Penisten, A Time for Color expertly depicts the magnitude of living life with intention, mindfulness, and gratitude. In this uplifting and gentle story, a cheerful boy's colors shine bright as he enjoys each day's splendor. His gratitude, curiosity, and joie de vivre was shown through his colors who joined him on every adventure, every exploit, and with each emotion. "Color awaited me around every turn;My mind alive, there was so much to learn!The sounds and smells encompassed my soul.At the end of each day, my childhood was full.My color was stunning, it's hard to explain.A rainbow around me was hard to contain." His colors were always there for him, awaiting the next day's successes and challenges. But as the years passed and the boy became an older man, his colors were dimming, and he became too busy with responsibilities and commitments to give them a second thought. Before he knows it, his colors become gray and his life, colorless. When he realizes that vibrance for life is a choice you make, no matter the challenges or troubles life serves up, his colors return and help him appreciate all the small wonders of life around him once again. With uplifting verse and touching sentiments, A Time for Color weaves a story of hope, courage. Beautifully chromatic, the book is a wonderful reminder for children and adults alike to keep the brightness and spirit in our lives by appreciating all that it has to offer. In the spirit of Shel Silverstein's The Giving Tree, A Time for Color is a classic in the making.

  Unlock the power of flexible work with this practical "how-to" guide from the leadership of Slack and Future ForumThe way we work has changed. The era of toiling from nine-to-five, five-days-a-week in the office is now a relic of the past, and is being replaced by a better way--flexible work. But flexibility means a lot more than a day or two a week to "work from home": 93% of your employees want more flexibility in when, not just where, they work. They want choice and they are leaving their roles to find it.

The book offers the steps necessary to building the new principles and guardrails to empower flexible, high-performing teams. And it teaches readers to lead with purpose, to manage and measure differently, and to believe that by letting go, they'll get more back than they thought possible.How the Future Works explains how to:* Establish leadership principles, commitments, and outcomes for truly flexible teamwork* Measure and assess productivity in a flexible workplace* Reskill managers to ensure a level playing field for all employees* Implement the infrastructure necessary to make flexible work successfulUsing original research from Future Forum, a consortium by Slack, and global case studies from leading companies such as Levi Strauss & Co., Genentech, Royal Bank of Canada, and IBM, How the Future Works offers concrete solutions and practical steps for building high functioning teams of talented, engaged people by providing them with the flexibility and choice they need to do their best work.

  Wildland

  THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'A sweeping and brilliant portrait' GUARDIAN 'A reportorial tour de force . Heart-rending, appalling and hard to put down' JANE MAYER 'Visionary in scope, compassionate in procedure . Definitive' AYAD AKHTAR Evan Osnos moved to Washington, DC, in 2013 after a decade away from the United States. While abroad, he often found himself making a case for America, urging the citizens of Egypt, Iraq or China to trust that even though America had made grave mistakes throughout its history, it aspired to some foundational moral commitments - the rule of law, the power of truth, the right of equal opportunity for all. But when he returned to the United States, he found each of these principles under assault. In search of an explanation for the crisis, he focused on three places he knew firsthand: Greenwich, Connecticut; Clarksburg, West Virginia; and Chicago, Illinois. Reported over the course of six years, Wildland follows ordinary individuals as they navigate the varied landscapes of twenty-first-century America. Through their powerful, often poignant stories, Osnos traces the sources of America's political dissolution. He finds answers in the rightward shift of the financial elite in Greenwich; in the collapse of social infrastructure and possibility in Clarksburg; and in the compounded effects of segregation and violence in Chicago. The truth about the state of the nation may be found not in the slogans of political leaders but in the intricate details of individual lives, and in the hidden connections between them. A dramatic, prescient examination of seismic changes in American politics and culture, Wildland is the story of a crucible, a period bounded by two shocks to America's psyche, two assaults on the country's sense of itself: the attacks of September 11 in 2001 and the storming of the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. Following the lives of everyday Americans in three cities across two decades, Osnos illuminates the country in a startling light, revealing how it lost the moral confidence to see itself as larger than the sum of its parts.

  The Nature of the Game (eBook, ePUB)

  Essential reading for every golfer from the sport's most acclaimed course developer-a comprehensive, firsthand account of restoring the inherent satisfactions of this centuries-old game, from the beauty of natural courses to the joys of walking the course "Mike Keiser is the best thing to happen to golf since the Big Bertha. He's the guy who single-handedly saved us from the Fake 100-foot Waterfall Era. He gave us back nature, walking and buddy trips. This is a fascinating read on how in the world he did it."-Rick Reilly, golf writer An avid golfer with a demanding career in the greeting card business, Mike Keiser found a new calling on the authentic links courses of Scotland and Ireland. Seized by the beauty of the landscape and the holes running through it, he determined this was how golf was meant to be: inclusive, not private; played on foot, not riding a cart; the courses natural, neither lavish nor contrived. Vowing to transplant this experience to the States, Keiser entered the golf business and, ignoring the advice of experts, built a true links course in Oregon. Bandon Dunes has redefined the game here and become a destination for golfers everywhere. Those same convictions have now produced other top-ranked courses by Keiser-in Wisconsin, Nova Scotia, Tasmania, and elsewhere-whose magical allure demonstrates what the world's most gifted golf course architects can accomplish by working on designs that hew to the natural landscape. Keiser's further commitments-to the caddies, greens crews, and staff at his resorts; to the communities in which they're located; and to deep environmental stewardship-enhance the singular appeal of these immensely popular courses. At once an account of inventing a new, life-changing business, a guide to historic course design, and a paean to the sport that has recently experienced a surge of growth, The Nature of the Game is essential reading for every golfer.

  The Road to Character , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 737min

  Penguin presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of The Road to Character by David Brooks, read by Arthur Morey and David Brooks. Number one New York Times best seller In The Road to Character, David Brooks, best-selling author of The Social Animal and New York Times columnist, explains why selflessness leads to greater success. We all possess two natures. One focuses on external success: wealth, fame, status and a great career. The other aims for internal goodness, driven by a spiritual urge not only to do good but to be good - honest, loving and steadfast. The inner self doesn't seek happiness superficially defined; it seeks emotional commitments without counting the cost and a deeper moral joy. Individuals and societies thrive when a general balance is struck between these two imperatives, but we live in a culture that encourages us to think about the external side of our nature rather than the inner self. We hanker for praise instead of following our hearts, and we self-promote rather than confront our weaknesses. In this urgent and eye-opening audiobook, David Brooks asks us to confront the meaning of true fulfilment. A famous columnist for The New York Times and a best-selling author, Brooks found himself living in a shallow mode. For years he remained focused on getting ahead and reaping the rewards for his efforts, placing his career before his character. Finding himself at a crossroads, Brooks sought out men and women who embodied the moral courage he longed to experience. Citing an array of history's greatest thinkers and leaders - from St. Augustine and George Eliot to Dwight Eisenhower and Samuel Johnson - he traces how they were able to face their weaknesses and transcend their flaws. Each one of them chose to embrace one simple but counterintuitive truth: in order to fulfil yourself, you must learn how to forget yourself. An elegant interweaving o ungekürzt. Language: English.

  How to Become an Online Teacher: How to Make Money Online , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 21min

  Online education is growing by leaps and bounds. People are becoming more and more comfortable with turning to the digital world for activities that used to be limited to the physical world, education included. Many adults are returning to school to advance their education in order to improve their job prospects. But if you have a job, a family, and other commitments, attending school daily can be very difficult. Online classes are the answer to this problem. But online classes still need teachers, and this means that a whole new job market is opening up, as schools search for people to lead these classes. Anyone can become an online teacher. If you already work in education as a teacher, counselor, or tutor, it can be very easy for you to make the switch. The field is not limited to these individuals, though. Professionals from any job can find work teaching classes in their area of expertise. Before you embark on a new career, you doubtlessly want to know what your potential earnings could be. For full-time teachers, the Bureau of Labor Statistics does not separate online from traditional teachers in their report, so it can be difficult to pin down exact numbers. The middle 50 percent of all post-secondary teachers earn between $42,000 and $85,000. Certain fields (such as IT, medicine, and law) bring in more money than others. Increasing your level of education can also increase your salary. Online teaching is an exciting career with lots of opportunities. It can be a full-time career or you can use it to supplement other income sources. Either way, it is fulfilling and rewarding. In the following chapters, we will look at online schools in more depth, review what it takes to become an online teacher, help you land your first job, and then teach you what you need to know to excel in this new field. So, let's get started! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Todd Curless. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/036764/bk_acx0_036764_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
