Gerber L: The Power of Story

The Power of Story

Connect With Purpose, Unlock Your Influence

Many gifted individuals never achieve the results they want because their skills aren't supported by the right foundations for growth. Talent opens doors, but it's strategy, consistency and smart decision-making that keep those doors open and lead to lasting success.

In Sketch to Six+ Figures, creative director and entrepreneur Mary Aghedo shares the lessons, wins and hard truths from her journey as an unknown beginner to leading one of Nigeria's most sought-after businesses. Through a blend of candid storytelling and practical business guidance, she reveals how to position yourself for the right opportunities, set prices that reflect your worth, manage your energy and grow in a way that sustains both your income and your creativity.

These are proven steps shaped by years of building, failing and rebuilding. Whether you're at the start of your journey or ready to scale, this book offers a clear and practical path to building a business that lasts, pays you well and keeps your passion at the heart of it all.

How to build a profitable business with courage & Creativity

Sketch to Six+ Figures

'I loved it' KIT DE WAAL, author of The Best of Everything'Generous, intelligent, full of wisdom and insight' LILY DUNN, author of Sins of My Father*A transformative guide to creative writing and the power of paying attention.The way we use language to tell stories reveals a lot about who we are and what matters to us. In Between the Lines, Julia Bell draws on almost thirty years of teaching to take us inside the writing workshop, where students from all over the world meet to share and discuss their work. She finds that in this space a kind of alchemy occurs, where&nbsp;paying real attention to one another and what we have to say - the ultimate challenge in our atomised, 'always-on' society - becomes a profound emotional education.&nbsp;Weaving philosophy, psychology and politics together with stories from the workshop, and featuring wise, practical advice on how to go about writing, this generous and thought-provoking book is about the transformative practice of noticing and slowing down. It shows how bad writing teaches us good things, how creativity helps us to see and be seen, and how reading and writing together fosters connection, tolerance, more expansive ways of thinking, richer access to language, new perspectives - and a better understanding of ourselves and others.*'What&nbsp;appears to be a guide to creative writing is actually a brilliant manual for how to exist in groups, to handle painful material, to grow together. Could anything be more necessary or inspiring?' Olivia Laing, author of The Garden Against Time

Life Lessons from the Creative Writing Workshop

Between the Lines

A slim, virtuoso novel about age and imagination, by one of Italy's greatest contemporary writers
82-year-old Nicola has spent his entire life telling stories, and becoming very, very good at it. In words, with his pen, in the notebook he carries with him everywhere, he records life's minutiae, its ephemera, those almost imperceptible atoms of existence that most of us barely notice. Recording the universe in each grain of sand has become second nature to Nicola. But there is always something that escapes, remaining on the margins, intuited rather than identified. And this fact, for Nicola, is a source of deep anxiety and a growing sense of failure.
Now, ensconced in a house on the dunes south of Rome, Nicola spends his mornings writing, watching the waves, and observing Lu, a store clerk in her twenties whose graceful canoeing stirs faint echoes of his mother.&nbsp;As Nicola reflects on the women who shaped him and the passions he has never outgrown, he finds himself drawn into the intrigues of the small seaside town. He will end by embarking on an improbable and ill-advised kayak adventure of his own with Lu's young son, as Starnone brings his tale about memory and reinvention to an unexpected conclusion.

From the bestselling author of Burial Rites comes an inspirational memoir about her travels in Iceland, an extraordinary country that has forged a nation of storytellers. 'Immediate, intimate and never less than captivating' - The Guardian When she was seventeen years old, Hannah Kent travelled to Iceland from Australia. She'd never seen snow before, didn't speak a word of Icelandic. All she knew was that she wanted to have an experience - to soak up something of the world. Soon she found herself isolated in a remote part of Iceland in a dark winter. It was a gruelling experience, but she quickly fell in love with the country: with its brutally beautiful landscapes and with its people. On returning home, with images of Iceland's towering glaciers and windswept tundras in her dreams, Hannah began to write. Now, as a mother and a wife, she looks back to that extraordinary year in Iceland. Praise for Burial Rites: 'Outstanding' - Madeline Miller 'Gripping, intriguing and unique' - Kate Mosse 'One of the best Scandinavian crime novels I've read' - Independent 'Remarkable' - The Sunday Times 'A must-read' - Grazia

From Hannah Kent, the bestselling, award-winning author of Burial Rites, comes a book about the extraordinary country that is Iceland, and about the creative life it inspired. Always Home, Always Homesick is for lovers of Iceland and of travel and for those interested in what it means to write.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth: Material Ultimania

Verbs are the underrated stars of the English language. They hold it all together. A complete sentence cannot exist without one, yet a single verb can create complete meaning. (See?) In this glittering exploration of language, grammar, and style, Sarah L. Kaufman illuminates how all of us, professional writers and enthusiasts alike, can master the art of the verb. When she was the dance critic at The Washington Post, Kaufman was challenged to translate the dynamic language of movement into words. Verbs showed her the way. Good verbs power great storytelling; they leap off the page, fire our senses, and transform our perceptions. Verb Your Enthusiasm is a clarion call for all of us to get back to basics: to mean what we say and say what we mean. Kaufman proves how strong verbs can make your own writing ­- be it an email, a text, a report, or an ad - more efficient and effective, and she investigates theories of language that will change how you read and write. But this isn't a grammar guide, and it surely isn't a set of rules. Great writing comes from a mix of inspiration, passion, and intelligence-from your unique discernment and imagination. You'll refine your voice in the company of literary greats, including F. Scott Fitzgerald, Virginia Woolf and George Orwell. In the end, your quest for the right verb might even reveal something true about yourself. All that in a word. So go. Write. Breathe life into your world.

Kreativschaffende haben heute mehr Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten als jemals zuvor - gleichzeitig wird die Darstellbarkeit der Welt mit zunehmender Komplexität und Nuancierung immer schwieriger.

Design Unlimited präsentiert eine explorative Denk- und Designmethode, die dynamische Identitäten und bedeutungsvolle Verbindungen zwischen Menschen und Marken erschafft.
Technik wird hier nicht mehr nur als Werkzeug begriffen, sondern als Partner, und die vielfältigen Phänomene unserer Umwelt zum treibenden Faktor von Gestaltung. Design wird zum co-kreativen Prozess zwischen Mensch, Maschine und Umwelt. Patrik Hübner und Larissa Lenze öffnen eine neue Dimension zwischen Idee, Story und Gestaltung, um grenzenlos zu denken, zu gestalten und Ungesehenes sichtbar zu machen.

“Conversational essays on wonder . . . A&nbsp;meditation on what gives life meaning. . . . A loving sermon on the rewards of children’s books.”&nbsp;―Kirkus Reviews Make Believe is bestselling children’s author Mac Barnett’s rallying cry for art and imagination, and a celebration of the power of storytelling in all our lives. It’s an incisive, intimate, and timely invitation to approach children’s literature not only as an art form worthy of deep study and criticism, but as a portal into the lives of the children. And at a time when we are faced with a national literacy crisis,&nbsp;he&nbsp;champions the profound joys of literature and the importance of reading for pleasure. What if children are a great audience for art? What if they are in fact better equipped to engage deeply with stories than adults? What if humans’ ability to appreciate art is, if not innate, awakened early in childhood? Well, then we’d better do our best to make some good kids’ books. Written with humor and academic rigor, Make Believe&nbsp;reads like a letter from your smartest and funniest friend. Includes spreads from Goodnight Moon and Busy, Busy Town, illustrations by Caldecott Medalist Jon Klassen, and cover art by celebrated illustrator Carson Ellis. &nbsp;
