Winner of the 2014 Christian Book of the Year Award "I'M TOO BUSY!" We've all heard it. We've all said it. All too often, busyness gets the best of us. Just one look at our jam-packed schedules tells us how hard it can be to strike a well-reasoned balance between doing nothing and doing it all. That's why award-winning author and pastor Kevin DeYoung addresses the busyness problem head on in his newest book, Crazy Busy — and not with the typical arsenal of time management tips, but rather with the biblical tools we need to get to the source of the issue and pull the problem out by the roots. Highly practical and super short, Crazy Busy will help you put an end to "busyness as usual."
Business psychologist Tony Crabbe outlines a unique three-step approach to combating one of the modern life's great problems: being too busy. So many people feel far too busy—unable to work properly on the things that are important to them and stuck in a rut. This book, written by a well-connected business psychologist, puts that feeling in context and provides practical solutions for people to become happier, more motivated and more successful. If you want to take control of your career—and your life—make sure you're not too busy to read to this book. Today's world is one of too much: too much work to do, too much communication, too much competition, too much uncertainty and too much information. We are striving to keep up, but inevitably we're falling behind, leaving us with a nagging sense of failure that is hard to shake off. In Busy, Tony Crabbe debunks the myth that satisfaction at work comes from getting everything done. Instead, he demonstrates that what will enable you to thrive is regaining a sense of mastery over your life, focusing on making an impact, engaging with loved ones and creating the momentum necessary to make changes. Busy is divided into three digestible sections—Mastery, Differentiation, and Engagement—that will teach readers how to switch from managing time to managing attention, how to transition toward a career strategy that doesn't hinge on productivity, how to think differently about success by re-engaging with what matters, and how to create the impetus, energy, and clarity to put all these changes into effect. Crabbe draws on entertaining psychological studies to show why we're getting it wrong at the moment and to develop a fresh new approach to taking back one's life from chaotic outside forces.

From multiple award-winner and renowned author Anthony Doerr comes the dazzling and electric novel about a blind French girl and an orphaned German boy whose fates lead them to one another as they struggle to survive the heat of the Second World War. Marie-Laure lives in Paris with her father, the Keeper of Keys at the Museum of Natural History. At the age of six, cataracts bring her blindness. Her father then constructs a scale model of their neighborhood, so she can learn her way back home. Six years later, the Germans began their occupation of Paris, so Marie-Laure and her father flee to Saint-Malo where her great-uncle Etienne lived in a tall, narrow house near the sea. Entrusted to Marie-Laure's father is the museum's most precious and perhaps most dangerous artifact—the Sea of Flames. In a coal mining town in Germany live the orphaned siblings, Werner and Jutta. They find an old radio, and Werner, being a curious boy, grows a talent in fixing radios. His knack for electronics earns him a recommendation in a ruthless Hitler Youth academy. He is assigned to a division that locates and eliminates rebels who make anti-German broadcasts. When Werner's unit is called to trace the resistance in Saint-Malo, his path finally collides with Marie-Laure's in an encounter that will change their lives forever.

The book’s title bears the answer to that question: White Fragility. White Fragility is a term coined by the author. It describes the defensive responses that white individuals often exhibit whenever they are confronted about their racial acts and statements. Most people might not even realize it, but one of the pressing factors why racism continues to prevail at this day and age is the refusal of whites to come to terms with their racially biased perspectives and voluntarily work towards reshaping their unbecoming viewpoints. DiAngelo provides a simplified yet in-depth explanation of how white fragility acts as an instigator in racial stereotypes, particularly in the present-day American society. She likewise includes viable suggestions on how white people can work on their own racial prejudices, despite the hard challenges coupled with it. The book’s objective is to show readers how a seemingly embedded system of racism can still be deconstructed and reformatted in order to embrace a more open-minded perspective and acceptance of the diversity that surrounds us. Pick up a copy of White Fragility now and feed your mind with hard-hitting truths of the racial structures that continue to divide us. Another New York Times Best-Seller from Robin DiAngelo!

Bad Blood offers the complete inside story behind Theranos—the Silicon Valley health technology company involved in the largest case of corporate fraud since Enron. It was written by Pulitzer Prize winner John Carreyrou, the journalist who continued to fight for the truth in the face of great adversity. Back in 2014, the charismatic Elizabeth Holmes, founder and CEO of Theranos, was widely considered as the female counterpart of Steve Jobs. She was a teenage Stanford dropout who had established a startup whose ambitious claim was to develop cutting-edge technology capable of revolutionizing the present blood testing systems in the medical industry. Prominent figures such as Tim Draper and Larry Ellison had invested on Theranos, which once reached a valuation of $9 billion after selling shares in a fundraising round. At this point, Elizabeth Holmes’ net worth was estimated to be around $4.7 billion. All eyes were on Elizabeth Holmes and her company, but the main problem was yet to be solved: Theranos’ technology was a fraud. Wait no more, take action and get this book now!
