Self World

Every activist started out as a kid‚ and in some cases, they were kids when their activism began! But even the world's greatest champions of civil liberties had relatable interests and problems‚ often in the middle of extraordinary circumstances. Martin Luther King, Jr., loved fashion and argued with his dad about whether or not dancing was a sin. Harvey Milk had a passion for listening to opera music in different languages. Dolores Huerta was once wrongly accused of plagiarizing in school.

Every great artist started out as a kid. Forget the awards, the sold-out museum exhibitions, and the timeless masterpieces. When the world’s most celebrated artists were growing up, they had regular-kid problems just like you. Jackson Pollock’s family moved constantly - he lived in eight different cities before he was 16 years old. Georgia O’Keeffe lived in the shadow of her “perfect” older brother Francis. And Jean-Michel Basquiat triumphed over poverty to become one of the world’s most influential artists.

Every great author started out as a kid. Before the best sellers, fan clubs, and beloved stories we know today, the world's most celebrated writers had regular-kid problems just like you. Sam Clemens (aka Mark Twain) loved to skip school and make mischief, with his best friend Tom, of course! A young J. R. R. Tolkien was bitten by a huge tarantula - or as he called it, "a spider as big as a dragon." Toddler Zora Neale Hurston took her first steps when a wild hog entered her house and started chasing her!

The Science of Being Great is another personal-growth classic from the pen of Wallace D. Wattles. His most famous book is The Science of Getting Rich. This is a companion to that book. In it the author, after studying the wisdom of the world's religious leaders and great philosophers, digests their wisdom and puts it all together in his own unique style. Using many examples and "power tools of thought", he demonstrates the power of thought and positive self-esteem as sure ways to greatness.

Forget the gold medals, the championships, and the undefeated seasons. When all-star athletes were growing up, they had regular-kid problems just like you. Baseball legend Babe Ruth was such a troublemaker that his family sent him to reform school. Race-car champion Danica Patrick fended off bullies who told her “girls can’t drive”. And football superstar Peyton Manning was forced to dance the tango in his school play.

Too Small Tola lives in an apartment with her clever sister, Moji; her big brother, Dapo; and Grandmommy, who is very bossy. In the first of three endearing new adventures, Tola is sized just right to wriggle under the bed and rescue Grandmommy’s prized possession when it goes missing. Her savvy and math skills save the day when Grandmommy gets sick, and when the family can’t afford new clothes, industrious Tola finds a way—with a little help from Grandmommy—to be just as fine as the three fine girls she so greatly admires.

As we age, our perceptions of the world tend to become cloudy and negative. We sometimes forget how much we've accomplished in our lifetime as well as the beauty around us. This often creates a cognitive dissonance that causes us stress and makes us feel less confident about ourselves.

Owen Perry grew up in a military working-class family in a small New England town, packed into a three-bedroom house with his parents and five siblings. He didn’t have any wealthy connections or mentors, or any college options, but he dreamed that someone rich and famous would discover him, carrying him away to a better life. Fortunately, that never happened. Because from the life-changing moment he realized nobody was coming, he set out to build his dreams for himself. What followed was a transformative odyssey.

When did kindness become a sign of weakness? These days we view kindness as an inert act based solely on the absence of being a jerk, or as heroic and herculean, beyond the reach and capability of mere mortals. But what if kindness actually had the power to save the world? In his engaging new book In Defense of Kindness, leadership coach and pastor Bruce Reyes-Chow shows how being kind (which is different than being nice) has the power to transform our relationships in all arenas of our lives.

Work/life balance is a myth! The old notion of somehow being able to stay balanced in both areas of life all the time creates more workaholics than it does to help them. In this audiobook, we will uncover the myth of balance, and how making time for our highest priorities is actually the key to achieving a sense of balance in achieving our business and personal goals.

Are you easily overstimulated by the world around you? If you answered "yes", then you might be a highly sensitive person (HSP). In The Highly Sensitive Person’s Growth Guide, you will discover how to identify this trait in yourself and take advantage of it in your everyday life. During my tenure as therapist, I studied this unique trait in many of my clients. Having witnessed their personal struggles, I decide to write this book as a way to harness and control this gift to improve the life of individuals who do not have dominion over their sensitivities.

Social media and politics have become the soul of society. Without both, we’d feel lost. Because of websites such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and the growing number of other social sites, socializing and interaction have become as simple as a status update, a like or comment, and a beautiful picture. News and politicians use social media to keep society up to date with news coverage, polls, political campaigns, and to share ideas they may wish their viewers to adopt.

Everything is different now. The future is so uncertain - how we are supposed to live and love and just plain survive, is upside down and backward. And it can feel positively overwhelming. But what I realized is that maybe, just maybe, we can turn what we learned about ourselves during these long months of quarantine into something good, something positive.
