"Karen Walrond shines her light so we can find our own." —Brené Brown Many of us have strong convictions. We want to advocate for causes we care about--but which ones? We want to work for change--but will the emotional toll lead to burn out? Leadership coach, lawyer, photographer, and activist Karen Walrond knows that when you care deeply about the world, light can seem hard to find. But when your activism grows out of your joy--and vice versa--you begin to see light everywhere. In The Lightmaker's Manifesto, Walrond helps us name the skills, values, and actions that bring us joy; identify the causes that spark our empathy and concern; and then put it all together to change the world. Creative and practical exercises, including journaling, daily intention-setting, and mindful self-compassion, are complemented by lively conversations with activists and thought leaders such as Valarie Kaur, Brené Brown, Tarana Burke, and Zuri Adele. With stories from around the world and wisdom from those leading movements for change, Walrond beckons readers toward lives of integrity, advocacy, conviction, and joy. By unearthing our passions and gifts, we learn how to joyfully advocate for justice, peace, and liberation. We learn how to become makers of light.

Age is an important number, but it can also be deceiving. After 40, most people say they feel younger than their years, some lie about their age, and many attempt to hide the signs of growing old. Better with Age addresses the many myths and paradoxes about the aging process. Although most people think of their later years in terms of decline, they can be one of the best times in life. This book presents the latest scientific research about the psychology of aging, coupled with insights from those who have succeeded in doing it well, such as Maya Angelou, Bob Newhart, Jared Diamond, John Glenn, and John Wooden. We are all aging, and many people are concerned about what to expect with advancing years. Retirement, happiness, and brain health are some of the many topics covered in this book. Better with Age shows what we can do now, at any stage in life, to make sure we enjoy old age.

The main theme of the book is that the proper use of humor will not only increase learning comprehension, but it can be used as an important tool for leaders to enhance their effectiveness.

Unfortunately, very few people these days talk about real values in life. What we stand for in life, and are we living up to these values are worth pondering. Are our aspirations in tune with the real purpose of life? It is the values that remind us often what to aspire in life.

Giving importance to external growth leaving behind inner development often leads to unbalance in life devoid of overall satisfaction.

A judgment-free handbook on parenting kids in all their uniqueness We all want to raise independent, confident children, but unfortunately, there’s no one right way to parent that we can all learn. Each child is unique, and each mom and dad has their own ideas on parenting, often influenced by the way they were raised. The Imperfect Parent shows us how we can celebrate those differences, embracing the individuality of our kids, carrying on the successful practices our parents demonstrated, and learning from their—and our—mistakes. A mom of two boys, author Kate Hamilton is no stranger to parenting struggles, and she knows well that anyone who thinks they can parent error-free is just kidding themselves. This book is an honest look at her parenting triumphs and failures and what parents everywhere can learn from both. She explains: • How to handle parenting advice from others • How to communicate well with your partner or co-parent • How to help your children discover their identities • How to have conversations with your kids about uncomfortable topics • How to let your children fail And that just scratches the surface! Recognizing that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to raising kids, The Imperfect Parent teaches you how to forge a path that works best for your family.
