How to Be a Personal Story Mentor

Warum Kreativität schon immer die richtige Antwort auf alle Probleme warEinst war die Logik unser ganzer Stolz. Alles haben wir geplant und gemessen. Doch plötzlich verstehen wir die Welt nicht mehr. Wir haben uns verrechnet. Nun drängt auch noch Künstliche Intelligenz in unser Leben und auf unsere Bildschirme. Die Logik kennt keine Grenzen mehr. Die Zukunft scheint nicht länger eine Verheißung zu sein, sondern eine Zumutung. Controller denken: Der Mensch ist kostspielig, kompliziert und unkalkulierbar. Ihn zu ersetzen verspricht große Profitsprünge. Das ist Kapitalismus next level.&nbsp; 
Frank Dopheide findet, es ist höchste Zeit, sich auf das zu besinnen, was uns Menschen wirklich ausmacht. Wir sind schöpferische Wesen. Unser Einfallsreichtum kann Leben retten - und unseren Feierabend. Kreativität kann Menschen zum Weinen und Lachen bringen und ein ganzes Stadion zum Mitsingen. Kreativität ist kein Kurs in der Volkshochschule, sondern der Moment, in dem man Flügel bekommt und über sich hinauswächst. Geben wir den Menschen den Glauben an das Wunder der Kreativität zurück. Hier ist das Buch dazu. Zum Lesen, Staunen, Freuen, Mitmachen und Verschenken.&nbsp;

Eine kurzweilige Geschichte der Kreativität

Den Verstand verlieren, ist eine gute Idee

Plato's Apology - A Riveting Defense of Philosophy and the Pursuit of Truth
Step into the courtroom of ancient Athens and witness a moment that forever shaped the course of Western thought. Plato's "Apology" is not an apology in the modern sense but a powerful and eloquent defense of philosophy, virtue, and the examined life, as spoken by Socrates himself.

In this timeless dialogue, Socrates stands trial, accused of corrupting the youth and challenging the gods of Athens. Armed only with his words, he confronts his accusers with sharp logic, unyielding honesty, and a fearless pursuit of truth. His defense transcends the courtroom, posing questions that still resonate: What does it mean to live a good life? Is it better to suffer injustice than to commit it? And how should we face death?

Perfect for readers who:

Seek to explore the foundations of philosophy and ethics
Are inspired by courageous thinkers who challenge the status quo
Enjoy timeless debates on morality, justice, and the human spirit
"Plato's Apology" is more than a historical account-it's a bold challenge to live authentically, question boldly, and think deeply. Whether you're a seasoned philosopher or just beginning your journey into the classics, this is a must-read that will ignite your mind and stir your soul.

Dare to embrace wisdom. Add this cornerstone of philosophical thought to your collection today.

Plato's Apology

Kamal Shair's book is a classic rags to riches story: the village boy, who with determination and education, achieves business success, wealth, more wealth, and then influence and power. What makes it unusual is that it emanates from the Arab world. Rarely among Arabs have individuals from thoroughly modest backgrounds, with no access to links, networks or connections become truly global commercial players. Shair was born in a small town in what was then Transjordan and dragged himself through school (his mother was illiterate), moved to college in Beirut, then sailed off to America (Michigan and Yale) and returned to the Middle East to create a multinational corporate empire engaged in trade, construction and manufacturing. Dar al Handasah - Arabic for House of Engineers - was founded in a small flat in Beirut and today, spans the globe with offices in 37 countries. In its early years, Dar al Handasah fought off competition from established western consultancies to win contracts for prestige engineering throughout the Middle East. Eventually, its activities extended further to Europe, the United States, Africa and Asia. By not following the usual pattern of patronage and favours, Kamal Shair applied a fresh kind of ethic in an environment with a loosely-structured business ethic. In the process, he lived through and witnessed at first hand and at close quarters some of the most dramatic events of the modern Arab world. This is quite an extraordinary tale and a very original prism through which to read the turbulent post-World War II history of the Middle East. At the same time we see the growth, despite all the odds, of one of the world's great engineering and business enterprises in a narrative of epic and inspirational proportions.

VOODOO ECONOMICS TO MAGA AND THE PILLAGING OF THE WORKING CLASS: CAN DEMOCRACY SURVIVE THE RIGHT-WING ASSAULT? by Howard Gunn is a provocative examination of the political and economic landscape in America. The book explores how right-wing ideologies have exploited the working class since the founding of the nation with the working class in poverty and a substantial portion of the working class in slavery.
Howard traces the development of our economy, our democracy, and the conservative right-wing evolution from "Voodoo Economics-a term famously used to critique tax cuts for the wealthy and trickle-down governance policies to the MAGA moverment and its Gilded Age Robber Baron ideology challenging the foundations of democracy, today.
Through his historical analysis and sharp commentary, the book investigates the mechanisms of economic exploitation and political manipulation. He raises urgent questions about the future of our democratic institutions in the face of escalating Republican assaults.
Mr. Gunn's work is both a warning and a call to action to preserve our democratic government model of the people, by the people and for the people. The book was written for those concerned about preserving democratic values for posterity in the turbulent twenty-first century conflict that includes Republican recessions, government shutdowns and No King rallies against the dark forces of right-wing Robber Barons and their conservative Plutocracy model, pitted against democracy.

The Souls of Black Folk: Essays and Sketches is a 1903 work of American literature by W. E. B. Du Bois. It is a seminal work in the history of sociology and a cornerstone of African-American literature.

The book contains several essays on race, some of which had been published earlier in The Atlantic Monthly. To develop this work, Du Bois drew from his own experiences as an African American in American society. Outside of its notable relevance in African-American history, The Souls of Black Folk also holds an important place in social science as one of the early works in the field of sociology.

In The Souls of Black Folk, Du Bois used the term "double consciousness", perhaps taken from Ralph Waldo Emerson ("The Transcendentalist" and "Fate"), applying it to the idea that black people must have two fields of vision at all times. They must be conscious of how they view themselves, as well as being conscious of how the world views them.

Warum der direkte Weg nicht immer der klügste istDer America's Cup ist einer der bekanntesten und härtesten Segelwettbewerbe der Welt. Das Besondere daran ist, dass der Gewinner den nächsten Wettbewerb ausrichtet und die Regeln verändern kann. 
Dominik Neidhart hat an drei verschiedenen America's-Cup-Challenges teilgenommen - und erlebte ein wenig erfolgreiches Startprojekt, einen triumphalen Sieg sowie eine bittere Niederlage. In diesem Buch schreibt er über seine persönlichen Erfahrungen hinter den Kulissen, über die Wichtigkeit von schnellen Entscheidungen, über Risikobereitschaft, ständige Innovation als Normalzustand, das Anerkennen von Grenzen, Kompromisslosigkeit bei Erfolgskriterien, aber auch über die dunkle Seite von High Performance.

Wie mein Team den America’s Cup gewann, obwohl alles dagegensprach

Wenn Regeln nicht die Regel sind

Collective and individual trials and tribulations are constant realities for Armenians in Turkey since 1923. More than a century after the Armenian Genocide, anti-Armenian public rhetoric and misrepresentations are commonplace in print and broadcast media, among government officials, public figures, and the general public. State discrimination against the Armenian community and the non-Muslim minorities in Turkey is as old as the Republic and has been institutionalized and structured over the decades. Against this background, The 'Other' Citizens: Armenians in Turkey presents a discussion of the two main schools of thoughts within the Armenian community in Turkey and highlights several sociological concepts that are useful to the understanding and analysis of the Turkish state's and society's treatment of the Armenians.
