Unlock the power of healing and resilience—Soul Leadership equips leaders to transform trauma into strength, creating healthier organizations and communities through practical strategies rooted in science and spiritual wisdom.Is unprocessed trauma silently sabotaging your leadership? If so, everyone around you is paying the price. When leaders break down, the fallout isn’t contained—it ripples through families, teams, organizations, and communities. Yet 94 percent of leaders carry trauma that's impacting their decision-making and actions every day, whether they recognize it or not. Author, Dr. Steve Robinson, has discovered that experiencing trauma doesn’t make someone unfit to lead—but not addressing it can. Through years of experience leading a large organization and facing significant challenges, he developed powerful insights about stress, trauma, and resilience. In his personal healing journey, he also discovered a powerful key: post-traumatic growth. Many leaders don’t realize they’re operating with traumatized and fragmented minds. They grind through challenges while living isolated, develop unhealthy coping mechanisms, and make critical decisions while emotionally dysregulated. The cost? Broken organizations, damaged relationships, and leadership failures that impact others. This book offers a revolutionary framework called the Soul-Leadership Cycle that transforms unprocessed trauma into leadership strength. It’s not just about surviving—it’s about emerging stronger and wiser through adversity. Inside this powerful guide, you will discover— * The Trauma-Trigger Effect: Identify how unprocessed pain creates emotional landmines that explode in key leadership moments * The Resilience Equation: Build resilience by increasing capacity before a crisis hits—and even afterward—through key relationships, physical and emotional health, and spiritual disciplines * The Growth Model: Transform trauma into wisdom using neuroscience-backed techniques for rewiring the brain * The Shalom Factor: Integrate the fragmented mind through biblical principles that restore wholeness * Crisis-Response Protocols: Learn what to do when leaders or those they lead experience crisis-induced trauma Too often, leadership books ignore the neurobiological reality of trauma. Dr. Robinson’s approach integrates groundbreaking research with time-tested spiritual wisdom. The result is a practical roadmap that works whether recovering from catastrophic events or the slow-building pressure of leadership demands. The most powerful truth? As leaders heal, everyone they lead experiences the benefits. Personal transformation creates ripple effects that build healthier families, teams, and organizations. For those ready to transform wounds into wisdom, stop letting past trauma hijack decisions, and create environments where people truly flourish—this book provides a blueprint to make it happen. Read now and begin your healing journey that will shape the future of everyone you lead. Autorid: Steve Robinson

Do it.Don't do it.Never in my life did I think I'd wager in my head whether to sleep with Chicago Grizzlies wide receiver, Damon Siska.He's the perfect package-hot body, killer smile, and flirts like he earned a doctorate in it. But anyone who reads gossip blogs knows he is looking for one amazing night and nothing more.I'm not the usual type of woman he beds. I'm a middle school teacher who cherishes her quiet nights in, drinking wine, and watching romantic comedies, dreaming I'm the heroine. I'm not embarrassed to admit-I want the fairy tale.But Damon caught me at a weak moment. Fresh off a break-up and feeling lousy about myself, I gave into temptation and left the next morning like every other woman he'd slept with.Except I walked away with more than just the memories when three weeks later the little white stick glowed with two pink lines.

I love him.I loathe him.It's like plucking daisy petals in my head, but he'll never know.When Miles Cavanaugh, the best safety in the league, was traded to the Chicago Grizzlies football team last year, I could finally breathe. Temptation was miles away.How naïve to think it would end there because when the opportunity to write for a national magazine based in Chicago lands in my lap months later, I can't turn it down. Sure, it's a big city, but the sexual energy feels like a beacon between us the minute my plane lands.To make matters worse, I end up having to take over the job of reporting exclusively on the Chicago Grizzlies. Which means traveling with the team, interviewing players, and pretty much having an all-access pass to their lives during the season.Miles and I put up a great front, quickly hating on one another, but we both know it's a lie. We also know the rules are simple. For me, don't sleep with the subject of your articles. For him, don't sleep with the journalist who can make or break your career.I thought straight-laced Miles Cavanaugh followed all the rules... oh how wrong I was.

Infamous filmmaker Uwe Boll tells the incredible story of his life and great success as a self-made man in Uwe Boll Raw: A Memoir, his first book in English.Born in Wermelskirchen, Germany in 1965 as the son of a chemical technician, Uwe Boll hardly had the typical start of a filmmaker. He had no connections in Hollywood whatsoever. As a teenager, he had been a film critic in print and on radio, but young Uwe wanted more than to merely watch movies and give his opinions on them. He wanted to be a filmmaker himself.After making his debut with the audacious satirical sketch comedy film German Fried Movie, co-directed by Frank Lustig, he was off to the races... Or so he thought. Their next film Barschel: A Murder in Geneva was not as successful. Realizing he might not ever get to make a feature again, Uwe made Amoklauf on his own, a disturbing film about a young man who runs amok causing a massacre of innocent civilians and getting away with it. Uwe's career had begun in earnest, and nobody was going to stop him!Uwe Boll Raw: A Memoir not only tracks Uwe Boll's career directing dozens of successful films, but also covers his youth in Germany, his personal beliefs on animal welfare, the environment and politics, and how he was able to balance making thoughtful motion pictures on highly charged political issues (Attack on Darfur, Rampage, Stoic) alongside more commercial fare based on hit video games (BloodRayne, House of the Dead, Postal).In the iconic way only Uwe Boll can, Uwe Boll Raw: A Memoir is a deeply personal look at one of the most infamous filmmakers of all time."I admire my friend, Uwe... He's always done it 'his way'." - Clint Howard"I loved working with Uwe, he answered to no one and loves making movies, the definition of independent filmmaker!" - Michael Paré"Working with Uwe has been a remarkable journey. He truly allows his actors to be creative, participating in the development behind the world we bring to life. Uwe approaches each project with an open mind and heart, allowing for a remarkable collaborative creative process." - Kristen Renton"Uwe makes no apologies for his work nor for his clear points of view. He operates fearlessly in a fear-driven business while showing the utmost respect and open mindedness, in the true spirit of a collaborator, to his fellow artists." - Daniel Serafini-Sauli

Sakyamuni Buddha taught Great Prajna Paramita in sixteen assemblies in four locations over twenty-two years. It was recorded posthumously by his disciples in six hundred fascicles of approximately five million words and is regarded as the largest canon in Buddhism. The Sanskrit original was translated into Chinese by Xuanzang (Hsüan-tsang) during the seventh century (from 660 through 663). This text is now available in English.The Great Prajna Paramita Sutra is important not only because of its extensive teaching, but because it explains what the great bodhisattva, the great bodhisattva path of cultivation, and the great bodhisattva vehicle are. It depicts, manifests, and provides guidance on how one should learn to become a bodhisattva-and eventually a Buddha-transcending self-interest to reach a state of emptiness, selflessness, and nonattachment. Regardless of where you are on the path to enlightenment, you will be nourished by its parables and dialogues.

When staying with prajna paramita, the bodhisattva-path practitioners will also absorb all superior virtuous dharmas. Owing to nonattainment, learners will be relieved from attachment and self-conceit and become humble, and their powers for removing vexations, hindrances, coverings, and bondages will also be strengthened. That is what is meant by expedient skillfulness in cultivating prajna paramita.The importance of the bodhisattvas becomes significant during the times when Thus-Comers are not present. Given that circumstance, the bodhisattvas are the only ones who can teach sentient beings correct dharma expediently and skillfully. Both great bodhisattvas and expedient skillfulness come out of prajna paramita. Because the great bodhisattvas have achieved expedient skillfulness, they are able to really practice virtuous dharmas, attain superior benefits, assist the sentient beings to mature, and dignify and purify the Buddha lands.

"Teaching and Learning at a Distance is written for introductory distance education courses for preservice or in-service teachers, and for training programs that discuss teaching distant learners or managing distance education systems. This text providesreaders with the basic information needed to be knowledgeable distance educators and leaders of distance education programs. The teacher or trainer who uses this book will be able to distinguish between appropriate uses of distance education. In this text we take the following themes: The first theme is the definition of distance education. Before we started writing the first edition of Teaching and Learning at a Distance we carefully reviewed the literature to determine the definition that would be at the foundation of our writing. This definition is based on the work of Desmond Keegan, but is unique to this book. This definition of dis- tance education has been adopted by the Association for Educational Communications and Technology and by the Encyclopedia Britannica. The second theme of the book is the importance of research to the development of the contents of the book. The best practices presented in Teaching and Learning at a Distance are validated by scientific evidence. Certainly there are "rules of thumb," but we have always attempted to only include recommendations that can be supported by research. The third theme of Teaching and Learning at a Distance is derived from Richard Clark's famous quote published in the Review of Educational Research that states that media are mere vehicles that do not directly influence achievement. Clark's controversial work is discussed in the book, but is also fundamental to the book's advocacy for distance education-in other words, we authors do not make the claim that education delivered at a distance is inherently better than other ways people learn. Distance delivered instruction is not a "magical" approach that makes learners achieve more. The fourth theme of the book is equivalency theory. Here we present the concept that instruction should be provided to learners that is equivalent rather than identical to what might be delivered in a traditional environment. Equivalency theory helps the instructional designer approach the development of instruction for each learner without attempting to duplicate what happens in a face-to-face classroom. The final theme for Teaching and Learning at a Distance is the idea that the book should be comprehensive-that it should cover as much of the various ways instruction ismade available to distant learners as is possible. It should be a single source of information about the field. ORGANIZATION OF THE TEXT Teaching and Learning at a Distance has three types of chapters-foundation chapters, teaching and learning chapters, and managing and evaluating chapters. Chapters 1 through 4 provide a conceptual, theoretical, and research-based foundation for the rest of the text"-- Autorid: Michael Simonson, Susan Zvacek

In this insightful book, Cathy Alfandre exposes the pervasive problem of what she calls "malignant managers," and the devastating effects they can have on the people who work for them.

Francine Fleischer took the photographs in The Water in Between in an exquisite and mysterious cenote, a deep natural well caused by the collapse of surface rock exposing the ground water beneath, and one once used by the Mayan civilization for human sacrifice. This exotic pool rimmed with draping vines is now a popular site for recreational swimming in today's Mexico. This curious contradiction of purpose is palpable in Fleischer's meditative and vibrant images of bathers taken 30 meters below the earth's surface; captured unstaged and in natural light, her subjects play out unexpected choreographies and narratives. Photographed over a period of ten years, The Water in Between is a study of human nature and interactions, as well as an unapologetic appreciation of the beauty of a great shaft of light rendering bodies in dark moving water, with chiaroscuro qualities reminiscent of Caravaggio and the painterly textures of Rubens.

"In 1957 a few European avant-garde groups came together to form the Situationist International. Picking up where the dadaists and surrealists had left off, the situationists challenged people's passive conditioning with carefully calculated scandals andthe playful tactic of detournement. Seeking a more extreme social revolution than was dreamed of by most leftists, they developed an incisive critique of the global spectacle-commodity system and of its "Communist" pseudo-opposition, and their new methods of agitation helped trigger the May 1968 revolt in France. Since then situationist theories and tactics have continued to inspire radical currents all over the world. The Situationist International Anthology is the most comprehensive and accurately translated collection of situationist writings in English. It presents a rich variety of articles, leaflets, graffiti, and internal documents, ranging from experiments in "psychogeography" to lucid analyses of the Watts riot, the Vietnam War, the Prague Spring, the Chinese Cultural Revolution, and other crises and upheavals of the sixties. For this new edition the translations have all been fine-tuned and over 100 pages of new material have been added."-- Provided by publisher. Autorid: Ken Knabb
