What if the path to a meaningful life isn't about what happens to you, but how you respond?Learn to master your mindset when it matters most. The Stoic Habit offers a practical pathway to developing the strength of character needed to handle any of life's challenges with wisdom and purpose.For centuries, the greatest minds faced obstacles just like ours. From Marcus Aurelius's Meditations written amid war and plague, to Epictetus's teachings on personal freedom despite being born into slavery, to Musonius Rufus's practical lessons on ethical living--these ancient guides offer profound insights for today's challenges. Their wisdom isn't confined to philosophy classrooms but comes alive in the arena of daily life.This isn't another self-help book filled with quick fixes and empty promises. Instead, it's a practical framework for developing wisdom, mental strength, emotional intelligence, and unshakeable character through daily habits and proven practices.Master the mindset for handling life's most challenging moments: <ul><li>Find lasting calm and resilience through time-tested wisdom.</li><li>Gain clarity and control over your emotions and responses to stress.</li><li>Turn any obstacle into an opportunity for growth and learning.</li><li>Create a life of purpose, deeply aligned with your highest values.</li><li>Build authentic relationships through principled action and trust.</li></ul>Through small, deliberate actions, you'll discover how to build the mental strength and character needed to handle anything life presents.

The Stoic Habit reveals how one fundamental practice---the conscious choice to pursue the good in our responses to life---can transform any challenge into an opportunity. Drawing from ancient wisdom---Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus---this guide provides a framework for building the mental strength and character needed to handle anything life presents.

The Decided Day

“Schlink knows how to tell a gripping yarn . . . [The Granddaughter] is a rewarding and wonderfully readable novel.” —The Guardian“A brilliant dissection of a fragmented nation in which a glimmer of hope relieves a somber but wholly memorable tale.” —Kirkus (starred review)From the bestselling author of The Reader, a striking exploration of the past, told through the story of a German bookseller’s attempt to connect with his radicalized granddaughter.It is only after the sudden death of his wife, Birgit, that Kaspar discovers the price she paid years earlier when she fled East Germany to join him: she had to abandon her baby. Shattered by grief, yet animated by a new hope, Kaspar closes up his bookshop in present day Berlin and sets off to find her lost child in the east.His search leads him to a rural community of neo-Nazis, intent on reclaiming and settling ancestral lands to the East. Among them, Kaspar encounters Svenja, a woman whose eyes, hair, and even voice remind him of Birgit. Beside her is a red-haired, slouching, fifteen-year-old girl. His granddaughter? Their worlds could not be more different— an ideological gulf of mistrust yawns between them— but he is determined to accept her as his own.More than twenty-five years after The Reader, Bernhard Schlink once again offers a masterfully gripping novel that powerfully probes the past’s role in contemporary life, transporting us from the divided Germany of the 1960s to modern day Australia, and asking what unites or separates us.Translated from the German by Charlotte Collins

A Novel

The Granddaughter

We say the word Integrity in the business context constantly. It appears on corporate websites and in mission statements, sits at the top of regulators' principles, and features in almost every leadership speech. Yet ask most people what integrity actually is -- how you build it, test it, or notice when it's gone -- and the answers run dry. This book sets out to fill that gap.The authors reframe integrity not as compliance, image or moral superiority, but as alignment: the quiet, demanding practice of keeping what we value, what we say and what we do in one piece, especially when pressure, ambition or fear pull them apart. This book's central insight is that integrity moves in two directions at once. It is built from the inside out, through our own values, choices and courage. And it is sustained or eroded from the outside in, through leadership, culture, incentives and power. To understand integrity, you have to understand both.

Jane Austen’s complex and insightful study of manners, morality, and social class, now in a beautiful gift edition&nbsp;for the Union Square &amp; Co. Signature Clothbound Editions line. When ten-year-old Fanny Price is plucked from squalor to be raised in comfort among her well-to-do relatives at the elegant Mansfield Park, only her cousin Edmund notices her homesickness and distress. Bolstered by Edmund’s kindness, Fanny begins to thrive as a useful and happy member of the household, and her natural feelings of gratitude and respect for Edmund start to grow into something deeper. But when sophisticated Londoners Henry and Mary Crawford arrive at Mansfield Park, trouble arrives with them, and Fanny’s hard-won peace is threatened by the chaos the Crawfords leave in their wake.

AN INSTANT&nbsp;NEW YORK TIMES&nbsp;BESTSELLER!If there was a core lie sabotaging your life, wouldn't you want to know what it is? And wouldn't you want to find the way to be free?Most of us have been living inside a lie for so long that it feels like the truth. It has quietly shaped our identity, our relationships, and even how we see God. Until we see it, we'll keep circling the same frustrations, the same shame, the same thoughts of&nbsp;I'll never change.&nbsp;But freedom is possible. At the center of this book is a powerful idea: most of our struggles trace back to one core lie we've unknowingly believed-I'm helpless, I'm worthless, or I'm unlovable.&nbsp;These lies don't just live in our thoughts;&nbsp;they shape our relationships and our everyday choices. What feels like personality or circumstance is often something deeper. This book helps you identify that story, understand how it took root, and replace it with truth so you can experience real, lasting freedom. In&nbsp;The Lie You Don't Know You Believe, Jennie Allen pulls back the curtain on the enemy's oldest trick-and shows you&nbsp;how to dismantle it with the spiritual authority you&nbsp;already have in Christ. She guides you&nbsp;through how to:Spot the three core lies everyone believes-and name the one running your lifeTrace the moment your lie took root and how the enemy has been using it to keep you stuckCut ties with your old narratives so they stop shaping your choicesChallenge lies in real time and replace them with God's truth&nbsp;This isn't about behavior modification. This is about transferring your life out of the enemy's kingdom of lies and into the kingdom of light-where joy, peace, and strength aren't fleeting feelings but your everyday reality.

If there was a core lie sabotaging your life, wouldn’t you want to know what it is? And wouldn’t you want to find the way to be free?

Study Guide for Level D and GPM Basislevel®

Project Management (IPMA®)

Your growth is real. So is the pressure to bend on hiring, honesty, and culture to keep it. This book is about staying built to bend without ever quietly breaking.

Every founder starts with a quiet promise: build this the right way. Built to Bend is about what actually happens to that promise between the founding and everything after - not in one dramatic moment, but in a series of specific, survivable-seeming decisions: the hire you almost regret, the investor pitch that rewards a little shading of the truth, the sales call that tests your spine, the layoff you didn't see coming, the star performer whose behavior is quietly poisoning the team.

Written by a founder-advisor who has sat across the table for exactly these moments, this book skips the abstract "stay true to your values" advice and gives you something more useful: a clear-eyed account of what compromise actually looks like when it's dressed up as necessity, and a concrete way to choose differently, before you're standing in the room under pressure with no time to think.

What's inside:

- Why the first hire you're tempted to overlook a red flag on almost never turns out to be worth it
- The specific spectrum between honest framing and quiet deception in a fundraising pitch - and a test for knowing which side of the line you're on
- How to say no to a customer's unrealistic ask without losing the deal or your integrity
- Building a real values filter for hiring, instead of a poster on the wall
- Handling layoffs, star-performer problems, and board updates with honesty that actually builds trust
- Why reputation is the most durable, compounding asset your company has - and the fastest one to lose
- A founder's guide to staying honest all the way through an exit

BUILT TO BEND

Concéntrico: Urban Innovation Laboratory
 blickt auf die ersten zehn Ausgaben des seit 2015 in der spanischen Stadt Logroño stattfindenden Design- und Architektur-Festivals Concéntrico zurück. Dieses fördert als innovatives Laboratorium die Suche nach neuen kreativen Wegen und trägt dazu bei, Architektur und Design zur Stärkung von Gemeinschaft einzusetzen und den Dialog zwischen Praktizierenden und der Gesellschaft zu beleben und zu fördern.
 Das Buch bildet in höchst visueller Weise und mit kurzen, konzisen Texten den internationalen Diskurs zur Bedeutung von Architektur und Design im 21. Jahrhundert ab, der über die bisherigen Ausgaben von Concéntrico entstanden ist. Es zeigt anhand von für das Festival entstandenen Entwürfen und Konzepten von 80 Architekt:innen, Designer:innen und Künstler:innen aus 20 Ländern sinnvolle Möglichkeiten auf, um sich mit drängenden urbanen Fragen auseinanderzusetzen - von Identität und Kulturerbe bis hin zu Zeitweiligkeit, Kollektivität, Ökologie, Spiel und Wohnlichkeit. Eingeleitet und zusammengehalten wird das Ganze durch ein Gespräch zwischen den beiden Herausgebern Javier Peña Ibáñez und Nick Axel über Kontext und Entwicklung des Concéntrico Festivals und dem dabei zusammengetragenen Wissen.
