Most people think a great life is built on big moments. It isn't. A great life is built on small decisions made consistently over time. A missed priority here. A neglected relationship there. Too much pressure. Too little margin. Over time, those small choices quietly shape the direction of a life. But there is another way to live. After decades of leadership, raising a family, and helping people navigate life's biggest decisions, Chris Hodges discovered something that changes everything: The quality of your life is determined by the principles that guide it. Principles simplify decisions. Principles steady you in difficult seasons. Principles help you build a life that lasts. &nbsp;In Legacy Letters, a practical and deeply personal book, Hodges shares the timeless principles that have shaped his life, leadership, relationships, and legacy. These aren't theories or motivational slogans. They are lessons learned through real life-through mentors, mistakes, family, and decades of walking alongside people through the highs and lows of life. This book is designed to be read one principle a day for 30 days, giving you a clear framework for building a better life. Then you'll spend the rest of the year putting those principles into practice-because principles are not meant to be memorized, they are meant to be lived. Inside, you'll discover powerful principles such as:The Big Rocks Principle - start life right by putting first things firstThe Calendar Principle - take control of your schedule before something else doesThe Compounding Principle - small daily disciplines create extraordinary results over timeThe Margin Principle - create breathing room so pressure doesn't control your lifeThe Who Principle - the people around you shape the future ahead of youThe Green-Grass Principle - the best relationships are the ones you invest inThe Goldmine Principle - learn to see the potential in peopleThe Orchestra Principle - life works better when it's built around "we" instead ofThe Significance Principle - the greatest life is the one that helps others win&nbsp;Filled with memorable phrases, practical wisdom, and honest stories from a life of leadership, Legacy Letters will help you:Make wiser decisionsBuild stronger relationshipsCreate margin and clarity in a crowded worldFocus your time on what matters mostLeave a legacy that lasts&nbsp;Because methods change. Trends change. Circumstances change. But principles never do. Live by the right principles, and you won't just succeed. You'll build a life that truly works.

The world is chaotic. But that doesn't mean your life has to be. Join Chris Hodges, bestselling author and beloved founding pastor of Church of the Highlands, on a dynamic journey into practical wisdom that has the power to transform your life

ONE OF THE GUARDIAN'S 'BEST BOOKS TO DIP INTO THIS SUMMER' 'The Bowie you thought you knew is recast completely' The Spectator 'A transfixing look at David Bowie's life through a spiritual lens... fresh and revealing' Publishers Weekly How David Bowie's search for meaning inspired him to write the music that defined a generation. In this wide-ranging biography, Peter Ormerod explores the quest for spirituality that powered David Bowie's creativity from his earliest recordings to his death-defying final album. Bowie's genre-expanding, era-crossing genius had an extraordinary impact on popular culture but his life-long search for spiritual truth and enlightenment has been overlooked. From Bowie's first musical encounters as a choirboy, this book traces his spiritual obsessions over the years. As a young musician at the start of his career, he was enraptured by Tibetan Buddhism. It was the first step in a spiritual journey that would generate his most profound lyrics and music. From the Kabbalah-influenced tracks of Station to Station to Ziggy Stardust's messiah complex and the profound affinity between Heroes and Christian thought, Ormerod sheds new light on the spiritual traditions behind Bowie's genius. Taking Bowie's spiritual explorations and faith seriously, Ormerod shows us how this quest for meaning propelled him through his darkest moments and biggest successes, lending his music a timelessness and depth that has spoken to so many people across the world. Whether experiencing a dark night of the soul in LA during his occult phase or reciting the Lord's prayer in front of thousands of concertgoers, Bowie was always searching for that universal truth that lies beyond everyday reality.

A spiritual meditation on his music and creativity

David Bowie and the Search for Life, Death and God

Someone is always trying to influence what you think-and what you do.

Corporations, politicians, advertisers, salespeople, employers, and even the people closest to us use persuasion every day. Sometimes their intentions are honorable. Sometimes they are self-serving. The better you understand how people try to influence your thinking and behavior, the better prepared you are to make your own decisions.
Publicity, Persuasion &amp; Life brings together more than 100 provocative essays drawn from Steven M. Stroum's 50 years of building a business, solving problems, making mistakes, and learning what actually works.

The essays range widely across Publicity &amp; Marketing, Persuasion &amp; Influence, Entrepreneurship &amp; Small Business, Business Strategy, Work &amp; Success, Life Lessons &amp; Personal Growth, and Commentary &amp; Society. Stroum challenges familiar assumptions, explains how publicity and persuasion work in the real world, and shares lessons learned from five decades as an entrepreneur.

This is not a textbook, and it is not a conventional business or self-help book. It is a collection of observations, experiences, arguments, and lessons intended to make readers stop and think.

Read one essay at a time or a dozen at a sitting. Some may confirm what you already believe. Others may challenge you. All were written with the same purpose: to help you recognize persuasion, question assumptions, understand where "news" comes from and how it is created, and make better decisions in business and life.

Marketing strategist and Wall Street Journal best-selling author David Meerman Scott describes Stroum's insights as "practical, honest, and hard-earned."
Publicity, Persuasion &amp; Life is for builders, thinkers, doers-and anyone who believes that experience is valuable only when we learn something from it.

Publicity, Persuasion & Life

Leadership isn't about being the loudest voice in the room.

Character is permanent. And the quiet professional leaves a legacy that speaks long after the uniform comes off.

How To Read The Room

In collaboration with JVL Media—a captivating exploration of why many high-performing Black business leaders attribute their transformational leadership qualities to their experiences growing up in the Black Church and how we can foster these skills in younger generations despite waning church attendance.The Black church in the U.S. has long been a “one-stop shop” for developing Black leaders, teaching them many of the qualities required to lead effectively in today’s ultra-competitive, digital, and swiftly transforming corporate world. Many high-performing Black leaders benefited from their experiences growing up in this cultural institution steeped in rich history.Merging cultural study with applied neuroscience and tenets of positive psychology, L. Michelle Smith dissect how these qualities are demonstrated by leaders across industries, from resiliency to their sense of undeniable purpose, their ability to build community and collaborative environments, the delivery and language of their speaking style to their unique leadership flair. She reveals how this historic institution has served as a timeless wellspring of leadership development, empowerment, and cultural preservation and ultimately, is Black leaders’ “secret sauce.”Call and Response also explores whether the Black Church will be able to continue to ingrain these skills in future generations. Smith examines how cultural shifts have resulted in a decline in church attendance, how online attendance has risen since the Covid pandemic, and finally, how Black leaders may—or may not—be passing these traditions down to their children.

How To Speak So Others Listen

YES! You've been selling your whole life. You just may not have been doing it on purpose, and that's why you might not be where you think you should!

Every job interview you've nailed, every skeptical boss you've won over, every idea you've fought for in a room that wasn't ready to hear it - that was sales. And for traditional sellers chasing quotas and commission that's also sales. They both require the discipline of moving people, ideas, and opportunities forward with confidence and intention.
Most people leave that power completely to chance. This book changes that.

Written by Karlyn Kieffer former television anchor, former Chief Diversity Officer at the United States Tennis Association, sales enablement expert and founder of Pro Tip Partners - Wait What? I'm in Sales? is a masterclass in persuasive communication for both traditional sellers and everyone who influences others for a living. Which is... basically... everyone.

Drawing on two decades of high-stakes experience across broadcast journalism, corporate leadership, and sales enablement, Karlyn delivers a unique formula for the way influence works: prepare obsessively, read the room relentlessly, and show up with the kind of presence that makes people lean in before you've finished your first sentence.

Inside, you'll find the ACTION Sales Framework, the Customer Cue Card, and the Interviewer's Mindset. These proprietary tools were built from real results, including compressing enterprise sales cycles by up to 50%. You'll learn why improv training is the most underrated skill in any sales toolkit, how to handle objections without flinching, and why the meritocracy myth - the belief that talent alone determines outcomes - is the single most expensive blind spot a high performer can carry.

This is not a book about becoming someone you're not. It's about recognizing the seller, the communicator, and the closer you already are, and a repeatable system to leverage for success.

Three parts. Fourteen chapters. A career's worth of hard-won insight made immediately usable.

If you've ever walked out of a conversation thinking I should have said that differently, this book is for you.

Like it or not, you're in sales. Now, give it a read, and go close some business!

Wait, What? I'm in Sales?
