Health & Personal DevelopmentLife Coach Yourself to Success
Put Yourself First To Be the One You Want to Be
by Barrie Pearson & Neil Thomas
Are you satisfied with the way your life is going – personally and financially? We often hear of people looking for an easy fix for their problems, but that’s rarely the answer. Perhaps, like many others, you too are busy spending your time thinking about and working for other people - so what about yourself? Are you spending any time thinking about and planning your own future? In this inspiring book, authors Neil Thomas and Barrie Pearson provide life-coaching techniques you can use to build a successful, fulfilling life for yourself. Unlike most coaching books, which are written by coaches themselves, Life-coach Yourself to Success has been written by two highly successful entrepreneurs who’ve actually followed and tested the advice they preach. This book is a tool to help you learn how to put yourself first for a change, how to understand your strengths and weaknesses and how to build a blue-print for success in life that you can turn into a reality. You are the business you have inherited. You can be the best business you will ever get to manage.

January 2013My Life with Lifers
by Elaine Leeder
My Life With Lifers Lessons For A Teacher: Humanity Has No Bars "I have always been drawn to darkness," Elaine Leeder writes. "I know I always championed the underdog." As a sociology professor at Ithaca College in the 1990s, she began teaching at Elmira Correctional Facility in upstate New York. When she moved to California, that same desire to help led her to the prison education program at San Quentin. Then, inspired by her lessons, a group of Leeder's students approached her about working with a program the prisoners had established to aid in their long and difficult process of redemption and transformation. She accepted. These members of New Leaf on Life-the San Quentin "lifers"-have been sentenced to terms ranging from fifteen years to life in prison. Unlike Death Row inmates, who will either die in prison or be executed, many of the lifers are eligible for parole after having spent twenty to thirty years behind bars. But too often, they never see that opportunity because of the popular view that they are all "hardened criminals," killers incapable of rehabilitation and unfit to be free. What Leeder has learned, however, is that incarceration does not dictate character. Her students, although they are convicts, are committed to making their time in jail a life sentence in the best sense, not a death sentence. They have gone the extra mile to come to terms with their crimes, and have often managed to redeem their lives. My Life With Lifers shares the journey of a woman "on the outside" as she discovered the true nature of life in prison, and the roadblocks-so many of them unneeded-on the inmates' path to freedom. What Leeder's experiences add up to is both a fascinating human story and a reasoned and impassioned case for prison reform.

December 2014Living above Life
by Yan Zhen
This novel presents the image of some contemporary Chinese intellectuals represented by Nie Zhiyuan who, instead of being pushed around by convention, tries to live beyond mediocrity and to pursue truth. Rather than being worldly or sophisticated, these people are serious about everything and hold on to the moral bottom-line of intellectuals by distancing themselves from the stink of money. They have independent intellectual personality with the determination to model after such great historical figures as Cao Xueqin. They broaden their academic perspective, construct their own framework of learning, and try their best to find the value and meaning of living above life. Of course, this novel also depicts the corruption of knowledge brought on by connections and circles, the distortion of personality brought on by money and power … and the perplexity, struggle, compromise and adherence of people with lofty ideals like Nie Zhiyuan.
