Paperback. Etat : Good. Do you want to learn how to use this revolutionary, simple tool to raise your child? The Case Method Miracle is about how to use the Harvard Business School case method with a child. As a result the child learns to make wise decisions. Any parent or caregiver can do it, anytime, anywhere. Less timeouts, yelling and screaming, or telling the child what to do. The genius in the approach is that the case method teaches the child to think for himself. The case method-as the author has defined it-is easy to do. All a parent has to do is tell their child a one-minute story about another child in a situation-with which the child can identify-where he has to make a choice. Once there was a little boy. The boy makes a choice. At the end the parent asks, Was that a wise or unwise decision? Or, What should the little boy do? That's it. When the child states the wise response, the parent affirms the child with hugs and praise, Great job, you know how to make wise decisions. The child receives the message, You got it. In addition, rewarding the child with an expression of love capitalizes on his most powerful desire, to be loved.The case method miracle takes place when the child starts making mindful, wise decisions in his own life, both in situations that resemble the told case stories and in those that do not. Learning to stop and think will have a lifelong impact for a young child, and it is never too late to start. Do you want to try it?The author, Anne Jones, graduated from Harvard Business School. She is a mother and used the case method with her son, first simplifying it into its core elements. When she saw the miracle happen, she explored why it works, and wrote The Case Method Miracle to share her experience with other parents. It blends the clear thinking of a Harvard grad with the passion of a mother. …

Paperback. Etat : Good. We know that IQ is rarely an accurate indicator of whether a person will succeed. We know that people of less-than-desirable backgrounds often become great thinkers, leaders, and world-changers. I think that grit is the true determinant of intelligence. That is, almost anyone who is well motivated can overcome almost any obstacle. The earth is brimming with stories of men and women who had very little education, for example, yet succeeded spectacularly in spite of the same obstacles everybody else had--the same obstacles that caused the rest of us to conclude that it was just not meant to be. In The Grit Project, Pastor Gerry Stoltzfoos examines the art of pressing onward, even when the world is against us. Exploring his personal experiences growing up Amish, founding an Assemblies of God church, and helping people in his community chase their dreams, Stoltzfoos tallies the ingredients of gritty perseverance with the help of scripture. Gerry Stoltzfoos is the senior pastor at Freedom Valley Church in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.…

Hardback. Etat : Good. Three-time Olympian Lolo Jones delivers a tough yet inspiring look into the strategies she has used to overcome immense obstacles on her way to becoming the number-one women's hurdler in the world.

Hardback. Etat : Very Good. For all who dare to go off the beaten track, this is the inspirational, power-packed playbook for transforming your life and your world--from a young, Black social entrepreneur whose dorm-room tech startup has helped millions pay for college and access unprecedented opportunity.  Gray, the son of a single working mother who had him at age fourteen, grew up in deep poverty in Birmingham, Alabama. An academic star, he had every qualification for attending a top college--except for the financial means. Desperate, Gray headed off the beaten path, searching online to apply for every scholarship he could find.  His hustle resulted in awards of 1.3 million dollars and became his call to action to help other students win their own "schollys." It inspired him to start up Scholly, an app that matches college applicants with millions of dollars in outside scholarships that often go unclaimed. When he was a senior at Drexel University, he appeared on Shark Tank as CEO of Scholly. In the most heated fight in the show's history, the sharks challenged Gray as to whether his app was a charity or a profitable business.  Both, he insisted, proposing a new paradigm for social entrepreneurship and netting deals from Lori Grenier and Daymond John.      At the time Scholly's subscriber base was 90,000 users. Today the app has 4 million subscribers who have won scholarships totaling more than $100 million. Meanwhile, Gray--without help from the mostly all-white boy's club of Silicon Valley--has emerged as a tech startup superhero now tackling the crisis of student debt with innovative, unrivaled strategies. Gray's premise is that when you lead with the good--confronting issues such as poverty and racism--the money will follow.  His story is proof that when you develop a mindset for success, you turn disadvantages into gold. And when you create opportunities for others, you enrich the marketplace for yourself too.   Gray shows us, we can carve out new paths to better days and leave trails for others.&nbsp.…
