LeVar Burton; A Kids Book About Imagination

What is imagination? Most of us think of it as playing pretend or what happens when we’re dreaming, but imagination takes us to worlds and galaxies beyond that. Imagination helps us travel between time, space, and reality. It gives us the power to dream up the world in our own vision and encourages us to think of not just what is, but what could be. Imagination is a superpower that unlocks endless possibilities, and all by asking one simple question: what if?

Core themes of this book are change, possibility, power, and hope.

Angela Duckworth; Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance

The daughter of a scientist who frequently noted her lack of “genius,” Angela Duckworth is now a celebrated researcher and professor. It was her early eye-opening stints in teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience that lead to her hypothesis about what really drives success: not genius, but a unique combination of passion and long-term perseverance.

In Grit, she takes us into the field to visit cadets struggling through their first days at West Point, teachers working in some of the toughest schools, and young finalists in the National Spelling Bee. She also mines fascinating insights from history and shows what can be gleaned from modern experiments in peak performance. Finally, she shares what she’s learned from interviewing dozens of high achievers – from JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon to New Yorker cartoon editor Bob Mankoff to Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll.

Andy Stanley; Better Decisions, Fewer Regrets

Good questions lead to better decisions. Discover five game-changing questions to ask every time you make a decision–questions that will help you in your finances, relationships, career, and more.

Your decisions determine the direction and quality of your life. Your decisions create the story of your life. And while nobody plans to complicate their life with bad decisions, far too many people have no plan to make good decisions.

This book will help you live differently.

In Better Decisions, Fewer Regrets, Andy Stanley will help you learn from experience and stop making bad decisions by integrating five questions into every decision you make, big or small.

You’ll discover how to:

• Develop a decision-making filter that reveals which choices will likely lead to positive results in your life.
• Avoid selling yourself on bad ideas and making quick decisions when time is short. Find truth and clarity in any tricky decision.
• Improve relationships and heal division through better decisions.
• Discover the reasons behind your decisions so you can move forward with positive changes.
• Consider the long-term impact of your choices so you can write a life story worth celebrating.
• Easily identify any red flags that signal which decisions may result in future regrets.

Sukhinder Singh Cassidy; Choose Possibility: Take Risks and Thrive (Even When You Fail)

Life is made up of a series of choices. What do you do if one of those choices turn out poorly, especially if it was carefully considered? How do you trust your instinctive decision-making skills and make the next right choice? How do you continue to take risks when, suddenly, your risks are not working out?

Sukhinder Singh Cassidy is one of the most highly regarded and well-respected female tech executives in Silicon Valley, but she’ll be the first to admit that her path to success has been far from linear. She started three companies that have done exceedingly well, including theBoardlist (an organization designed to promote women onto corporate boards), and she just served as president of StubHub, which sold earlier this year for $4 billion.

But she’s also encountered plenty of poor choices, misfires, unexpected headwinds, and all other types of pitfalls that she had to learn how to confront, analyze, navigate, and incorporate into her new path forward. From her own experience, she knows that personal success does not come from making one singular “correct” or “big” decision. Rather long-range success comes from tackling numerous choices that are aimed to optimize future possibilities.

Sign Cassidy’s “seven myths of success,” as well as her advice on how to make FOMO into your friend, multiply your “bets” in life, and understand why you shouldn’t be blinded by “passion bias,” all provide an entirely new way to approach risk-taking and achieve lasting success.

Catherine Price; The Power of Fun: How to Feel Alive Again

Journalist and screen/life balance expert Catherine Price argues persuasively that our always-on, tech-addicted lifestyles have led us to obsess over intangible concepts such as happiness while obscuring the fact that real happiness lies in the everyday experience of fun. We often think of fun as indulgent, even immature, and selfish. We claim to not have time for it, even as we find hours a day for what Price calls Fake Fun – bingeing on television, doomscrolling that news, or posting photos to social media, all in hopes of filling some of the emptiness we feel inside.

In this follow-up to her hit book, How to Break Up with Your Phone, Price makes the case that True Fun – which she defines as the magical confluence of playfulness, connection, and flow – will give us the fulfillment we so desperately seek. If you use True Fun as your compass, you will be happier and healthier. You will be more productive, less resentful, and less stress. You will have more energy. You will find community and a sense of purpose. You will stop languishing and start flourishing. And best of all? You will enjoy the process.

Weaving together scientific research with personal experience, Price reveals the surprising mental, physical, and cognitive benefits of fun, and offers a practical, personalized plan for how we can achieve better screen/life balance and attract more True Fun into our daily lives – without feeling overwhelmed.
