    From New York Times best-selling author and former Navy SEAL Brandon Webb comes a simple yet powerful five-step guide to transforming your life by making your fears work for you instead of against you.Brandon Webb has run life-threatening missions in the world's worst trouble spots, whether that meant jumping out of airplanes, taking down hostile ships on the open sea, or rolling prisoners in the dead of night in the mountains of Afghanistan. As a Navy SEAL, he learned how to manage the natural impulse to panic in the face of terrifying situations. As media CEO and national television commentator, he has learned how to apply those same skills in civilian life.Drawing on his experiences in combat and business, along with colorful anecdotes from his vast network of super-achiever friends, from astronauts to billionaires, Webb shows how people from all walks of life can stretch and transcend their boundaries and learn to use their fears as fuel to achieve more than they ever thought possible. "Fear can be a set of manacles, holding you prisoner", writes Webb. "Or it can be a slingshot, catapulting you on to greatness."The key, says Webb, is not to fight fear or try to beat it back, but to embrace and harness it. In the process, rather than being your adversary, your fear becomes a secret weapon that allows you to triumph in even the most adverse situations. In Mastering Fear, Webb and his best-selling coauthor, John David Mann, break this transformation down into five practical steps, creating a must-listen manual for anyone looking for greater courage and mastery in their lives. ungekürzt.

    Fall in love! Get swept away by three feel-good stories by NY Times best-selling romance author Jean Oram.  Falling for the Movie Star (Book 1) One picture. One tabloid. Two lives changed forever.  Finian Alexander is one scandalous tabloid photo away from catapulting his acting career onto the A-list. All his bad boy persona needs is an agreeable member of the paparazzi to give him a friendly boost. But vacationing out in the middle of nowhere, the only photographer he knows is way too scrupulous for her own good.  Or is she?  Can Finian make Hailey an offer she can't resist? Or will his proposition take things too far? Falling for the Boss (Book 2) One sexy, burned out billionaire. One spitfire graduate. One small island.  Tycoon Connor MacKenzie has it all from the penthouse to the world-dominating corporation. At least that's what everyone believes. Underneath it all, his life is disintegrating faster than a stock market crash.  When Connor's doctor forces him to take a break, he winds up renting a cottage from a smart and sexy business grad, Maya Summer. She's eager to learn everything he knows, but will Connor's strict new no-work diet and don't-date-the-help rules leave them both starving for more than than just business?  Falling for the Single Dad (Book 3) One developer. One lawyer. One unexpected chance at love.  Years ago, cutthroat developer Tristen Bell had everything that ever mattered to him ripped away. Now divorced, he's shunning all that reminds him of his past and the unstoppable man he used to be.  That is, until lawyer Melanie Summer steps onto the scene, turning his world upside down - and upending his thoughts about falling in love again.

    From the acclaimed author of Infected comes an epic and exhilarating story of humanity's secret battle against a horrific enemy. Across America, a mysterious pathogen transforms ordinary people into raging killers, psychopaths driven by a terrifying, alien agenda. The human race fights back, yet after every battle the disease responds, adapts, using sophisticated strategies and brilliant ruses to fool its pursuers. The only possible explanation: the epidemic is driven not by evolution but by some malevolent intelligence. Standing against this unimaginable threat is a small group, assembled under the strictest secrecy. Their best weapon is hulking former football star Perry Dawsey, left psychologically shattered by his own struggles with this terrible enemy, who possesses an unexplainable ability to locate the disease's hosts. Violent and unpredictable, Perry is both the nation's best hope and a terrifying liability. Hardened CIA veteran Dew Phillips must somehow forge a connection with him if they're going to stand a chance against this maddeningly adaptable opponent. Alongside them is Margaret Montoya, a brilliant epidemiologist who fights for a cure even as she reels under the weight of endless horrors. These three and their team have kept humanity in the game, but that's not good enough anymore, not when the disease turns contagious, triggering a fast countdown to Armageddon. Meanwhile, other enemies join the battle, and a new threat - one that comes from a most unexpected source - may ultimately prove the most dangerous of all. Catapulting the reader into a world where humanity's life span is measured in hours and the president's finger hovers over the nuclear button, rising star Scott Sigler takes us on a breathtaking, hyper-adrenalized ride filled with terror and jaw-dropping action. Contagious is a truly grand work of suspense, science, and horror from a new master. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Sigler.

    Real leadership that leads to high engagement, higher performance, and a culture of accountability. As president and CEO of Scripps Health, one of America's most prestigious health systems, Chris Van Gorder presided over a dramatic turnaround, catapulting Scripps from near bankruptcy to a dominant market position. While hospitals and health systems nationwide have laid people off or are closing their doors, Scripps is financially healthy, has added thousands of employees (even with a no-layoff philosophy), and has developed a reputation as a top employer. What are the secrets to this remarkable story? In The Front-Line Leader, Chris Van Gorder candidly shares his own incredible story, from police officer to CEO, and the leadership philosophy that drives all of his decisions and actions: people come first. Van Gorder began his unlikely career as a California police officer, which deeply instilled in him a sense of social responsibility, honesty, and public service. After being injured on the job and taking an early retirement, Van Gorder had to reinvent himself, taking a job as a hospital security director, a job that would change his life. Through hard work and determination, he rose to executive ranks, eventually becoming CEO of Scripps. But he never forgot his own roots and powerful work ethic, or the time when he was a security officer and a CEO would not make eye contact with him. Van Gorder leads from the front lines, making it a priority to know his employees and customers at every level. His values learned on the force - protecting the community, educating citizens, developing caring relationships, and ultimately doing the right thing - shape his approach to business. As much as companies talk about accountability, managers seldom understand what practical steps to take to achieve an ethic of service that makes accountability meaningful. ungekürzt.

    How to Earn the Gift of Discretionary Effort by thought leaders Karla Brandau and Douglas Ross is a deep dive into a comprehensive approach to catapulting your leadership career and turning your employees into your competitive advantage in a difficult marketplace. This cutting-edge book details how earning the gift of discretionary effort is the distinguishing characteristic of 21st-century leaders. Any skill requires discipline to become proficient, and this book is the training manual for individuals with the perseverance and determination to become the leader people CHOOSE to follow - not HAVE to follow because of their place on the organizational chart.Leadership is about getting work done through others. As you become the leader people CHOOSE to follow, you will earn the gift of discretionary effort on a daily basis. You will move your employees from minimal effort to amazing contributions, resulting in increased profitability and economic sustainability for your company. Discretionary effort is the difference between what one is capable of bringing to a task versus the minimum effort required to get by or make do and still receive a paycheck. Each day, when an employee walks in the office door (or logs in remotely) and starts work, that employee makes a choice whether or not to give discretionary effort. It takes a special kind of leader to achieve the environment of exceptional employee experience and workplace optimization where workers naturally give discretionary effort, not just give the stereotypical second mile. The book teaches you how to be that special kind of leader that gets much more than the second mile from all who work with you. You’ll learn to refine the touchpoints between you and your employees from potential misunderstandings to productive conversations that move projects along to successful conclusions. The principles in the book are based on the RossBrandau Discretionary Leadership Model(TM). ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Karla Brandau.

    Polish sculptor Magdalena Abakanowicz was a "force of gravity," wrote art historian Barbara Rose in 1984. Indeed, and we feel it as she lays out her mission: from early ruptures with tapestry tradition, to the invention of her signature woven work - Ab akans - to those of human form, to public projects responsive to the history and particularities of place, to her vision for an Arboreal Architecture sympathetic to living in concert with the earth and kind to the climate. This first compendium of the artist's writings throughout her career demonstrates her need to communicate beyond her Warsaw studio with spirited vitality and urgency. It serves as a companion to her profoundly moving autobiography Fate and Art (Skira second edition, 2020), whose first iteration we find here, "Portrait x 20" begun in 1978. Included, too, from that same year, is a little-known lecture to artists assembled for a conference in the Bay Area. She speaks intimately of the aesthetic and social agenda that drove her making: "It is only with friends that I discuss problems that I have and to which I attach importance. I have come to discuss them with you." And here is her prose poem, "Soft," of 1979 that anticipated her entry for the Polish Pavilion in the 1980 Venice Biennale, catapulting her onto the international scene. Ten interviews span 30 years, including Rose's never-before-published conversation conducted from the late '80s to early '90s. With correspondence among twenty persons formative in her career - and she in their lives - this volume will be an essential sourcebook for scholars. Yet by bringing archives to life, this book will prove a fascinating read for others in and out of the art world, able to enter into the soul of an artist so perceptive of her times and so capable of marshalling of the power of art to speak of wider human concerns. This is evoked in the introductory essay by historian Joanna Bourke whose reflection helps bring forward the meaning of Abakanowicz's art today.
