Sandstrom D: Once Upon a Stranger

Once Upon a Stranger

The Science of How “Small” Talk Can Add Up to a Big Life

Jim Collins, international bestselling author of Good to Great, offers transformative lessons on constructing—and reconstructing—a life through the turning points we all will face repeatedly in our lives.What to make of a life?It is a question we all wrestle with more than once: How do we find our way in the world? How do we make it past the cliffs we will inevitably encounter? How do we keep the inner fire burning bright, long and late? Inspired by relentless curiosity, Jim Collins devoted a decade to studying these questions and to minutely analyzing those moments when life flips from clarity to confusion and casts us into a befuddling fog.His exploration follows various lives at key turning points—moments when certainty turned to uncertainty, when new challenges presented themselves—and analyzes the different choices made and divergent paths taken. Two rock musicians confronting a future without the group that had brought them success. Two public figures tainted by scandal having to make decisions about how to rebuild their lives. Two suffragists achieving their epic goal and so left with the puzzle of what to do next. Two figure skaters seeking new purpose when their Olympic careers come to an end. What emerges from Collins’s paired studies—of writers, actors, scientists, leaders and many others—is a framework for understanding how individual lives can be built, sustained and constantly renewed.By examining these remarkable lives side by side, Collins tackles life’s questions with profound and practical insight. What does it take to:<ul><li>Discover a deeply fulfilling role in life—one that you are naturally ‘encoded’ for—and then to find a second one, if the first one ends?</li><li>Overcome a ‘cliff’ event—a moment when life as you’ve known it has radically changed?</li><li>Make your personal economics work so that you can focus on one big thing that feeds your inner fire?</li><li>Navigate the fog of uncertainty and build confidence step by step?</li><li>Minimize the impact of bad luck and ensure the maximum return on good luck?</li><li>Build personal momentum decade upon decade, so that your most creative and energetic years are spread across an entire lifetime?</li></ul>And for the first time, Collins movingly chronicles his own story to reveal how undertaking this project transformed him, changing his thinking and reshaping his emotions in fundamental ways. Surprising, story-driven, deeply researched, and uplifting, What to Make of a Life is a book like no other, convincingly showing how a richly fulfilled life is within reach of us all.

What to Make of a Life

How can we fix what we can't see? The invisible norms crushing innovation—and our joy—finally have a name. Nilofer Merchant, co-founder of The Intangible Labs, reveals what's killing great work and gives you the tools to fix it.Something mighty—but invisible—is getting in the way of doing our best work. Seventy percent of people are ridiculously unhappy at work—a figure that has barely budged in thirty years. Despite major changes in technology, management trends, and office setups, the core issues that drive widespread discontent persist and exact a tangible cost: billions in lost productivity, stalled revenue, and missed advantages from ideas that never had their shot.Drawing on decades of research and real-world experience, Nilofer Merchant identifies 24 invisible norms—rooted in outdated hierarchies, paternalism, and a worn-out model of capitalism—that prevent us from doing our best work. She shows how we can replace these 24 limits with 24 leading indicators that form the foundation for a new way of thinking, working, and creating value. She takes apart beloved management constructs and shows why they fail us, including:<ul><li>Servant Leadership</li><li>Personal Branding</li><li>Performance Reviews</li><li>Speaking Up</li><li>Move Fast &amp; Break Things</li><li>Strategy is Separate from Execution</li><li>Give Work Your All</li></ul>Visionary and practical, Our Best Work lights the path from here to there.Ranked one of the most influential management thinkers in the world by Thinkers50, Merchant has been both a successful business executive and incisive thinker, whose work is backed by a wealth of data and vivid case studies. Hers is a bold and brave message: the future is not about control or hierarchy; it’s about co-creation and unleashing the untapped potential within every individual.Merchant’s deep experience—from administrative assistant to corporate board member—gives her insight into what needs to change and why. She speaks a new language to bring forth a new world in which we can add, build, and create the value we need. Using principles from economics, power, and leadership along with practical wisdom and a framework for collective progress, Our Best Work is an essential guide for leaders and organizations ready to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.

This&nbsp;is a part of a healthy grief which&nbsp;is not&nbsp;often encouraged."&nbsp;- Madeline&nbsp;L'EngleA Grief Observed&nbsp;is C.S. Lewis’s honest reflection on the fundamental issues of life, death, and faith in the midst of loss.

S. Lewis’s brilliant and enduring work remains fresh and vital for readers today.

A Grief Observed (Deluxe Edition)

Atomic Habits&nbsp;meets&nbsp;Think Like a Monk&nbsp;in this profound guide to lasting change from behavior coach and host of the hit podcast&nbsp;The One You Feed. Weaving together behavioral science with timeless wisdom, Eric Zimmer reveals how to stop fighting yourself and start moving forward.More than 30 years ago, Eric Zimmer faced a life-altering battle with heroin&nbsp;addiction that left him homeless and facing prison--a turning point that sparked his search to understand how profound change happens, and how we can chart sustainable paths forward while honoring both who we are and who we hope to become.How a Little Becomes a Lot&nbsp;starts with a radical premise: your mind has a mind of its own. Each day, it pulls you in countless directions—toward what you value most, what you desire now, away from&nbsp;what you fear, and&nbsp;toward&nbsp;what feels comfortable. Real, lasting change happens when you stop trying to strong-arm this complexity and instead learn to work with it, one small choice at a time.Zimmer's motto&nbsp;is simple:&nbsp;little by little, a little becomes a lot.&nbsp;Personal transformation isn't about superhuman willpower or heroic feats of character.&nbsp;It's&nbsp;not a watershed&nbsp;or an epiphany; it's the result of the little decisions to do A instead of B, to say yes instead of no.&nbsp;These tiny shifts create powerful momentum.Drawing on sources from Zen Buddhism to modern psychology, Zimmer offers practical wisdom you can use&nbsp;today:<ul><li>A path to align your daily actions with your core values</li><li>Tools that quiet&nbsp;self-criticism and build&nbsp;the kind of self-compassion that actually works</li><li>Small, achievable practices that create momentum when you feel stuck</li><li>Ways to find balance in a world that pushes extremes</li></ul>These “Wise Habits” blend outer behaviors that improve health and well-being with inner attitudes that bring more peace and clarity to everyday life.Whether you’re&nbsp;feeling stuck,&nbsp;trying to change a specific habit, or seeking a more fulfilling life, How a Little Becomes a Lot&nbsp;will work for you. And by the end, that won’t feel little at all.

The Art of Small Changes for a More Meaningful Life

How a Little Becomes a Lot

“A user-friendly guidebook to step boldly into [our] full selves—fierce and tender, kind and powerful, compassionate toward ourselves, and devoted to healing our world. I recommend this book to everyone.”—Elizabeth Lesser, cofounder of Omega Institute and bestselling author of Cassandra Speaks and Broken Open&nbsp;The author of the groundbreaking wellness classic Self-Compassion expands our notion of self-kindness and its capacity to transform our lives, showing us how to balance tender self-acceptance with fierce action to claim our power and change the world.Although kindness and self-acceptance allow us to be our imperfect selves, the desire to alleviate suffering at the heart of this mindset isn’t always gentle: sometimes it’s fierce. We must act courageously to protect ourselves from harm and injustice, say no to others to meet our own needs, and motivate change. Gender socialization often demands that we act according to the roles assigned us by society and culture. But like yin and yang, the energies of fierce and tender self-compassion must be balanced for wholeness and well-being.Kristin Neff explains how we can use fierce and tender self-compassion to succeed in the workplace, to engage in caregiving without burning out, to be authentic with or without a romantic relationship, and to end the silence around sexual harassment and abuse. We must develop fierceness inside us to create a healthier society, find lasting happiness, and achieve balance within ourselves to help restore balance in the world.

In this humorous memoir, New York Times bestselling author Father James Martin, SJ shares summer by summer, job by job, how a former paperboy, lawnmower, busboy, dishwasher, caddy, usher, waiter, bank teller, assembly-line worker, corporate tool became a Jesuit priest.Work in Progress is a snapshot of several years--from a boy, then a teenager, and finally a young adult--of being thrown into a series of jobs that Father Martin had zero training. He never once set foot in a restaurant kitchen before working as a busboy; never stepped onto a golf course before working as a caddy; and never once seen a factory floor before working as an assembly-line worker. He almost always felt uncomfortable, unsettled, and uneasy. But, we've all done jobs we didn't love because we needed the money.This is a come of age in the 1960s and 1970s story but not all aspects. It is a lighthearted tale for readers that enjoy personal narratives and is unlike anything Father Martin has written before. As he puts it, "This is a spiritual memoir from a different angle, then told "slant" as Emily Dickson might say."Each chapter features treasured photos of memories and milestones throughout Father Martin's life. If you're an aficionado of snafus, you won't be disappointed. He's not the hero in these stories, more a hapless teenager who learns in each job, even the ones he loathes, something about the value of work, about what it means to be an adult, about people, and about life overall.Work in Progress teaches us small lessons that we should all practice: work hard, be on time, don't be mean, apologize when you need to, forgive frequently, ask if you don't know something, don't misuse power, pay attention to those struggling, be kind, and listen.

Work in Progress

In her first book, the popular From the Front Porch podcast host and independent bookstore owner challenges the idea that loud lives are the ones that matter most, reminding us that we don't have to leave the lives we have in order to have the lives of which we've always dreamed.This paperback edition includes an exclusive letter from Annie and two bonus chapters. Can life be an adventure, even when it’s just . . . ordinary?Annie B. Jones always assumed adulthood would mean adventure: a high-powered career; life in a big, bustling city; and travels to far-flung places she’d longed to see. But her reality turned out differently. As the years passed, Annie was still in the same small town running an independent bookstore —the kind of life Nora Ephron dreamed.During that time, she hosted friends’ goodbye parties and mailed parting gifts; wrote recommendation letters and wished former shop staffers well. She stayed in her small town, despite her love of big cities; stayed in her marriage to the guy she met when she was eighteen; and she stayed at her bookstore while the world outside shifted steadily toward digital retailers. And she stayed loyal to a faith she sometimes didn’t recognize.After ten years, Annie realized she might never leave. But instead of regret, she had an epiphany. She awakened to the gifts of a quiet life spent staying put.In Ordinary Time, Annie challenges the idea that loud lives matter most. Rummaging through her small-town existence, she finds hidden gifts of humor and hope from a life lived quietly. Staying, can itself be a radical act. It takes courage to stay in the places we’ve always called home, Annie argues, as she paints a portrait of possibility far away from thriving metropolises and Monica Gellar-inspired apartments.We’ve long been encouraged to follow our dreams, to pack up and move to new places and leave old lives—and past selves—behind. While there is beauty in these kinds of adventures, Ordinary Time helps us see ourselves right where we are: in the middle of messy, mundane lives, maybe not too far from where we grew up. We don’t have to leave to find what we yearn—we can choose to stay, celebrating and honoring our ordinary lives, which might turn out to be bigger and better than we ever imagined.&nbsp;
