English | ISBN: 3030708136 | 2021 | 100 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This book is a psychobiography on the life of Viktor Frankl and a unique exploration of his life from a positive psychology perspective. It uses Paul Wong’s theory of positive psychology wave 2 (PP2.0) and explores the concepts of meaning and virtue throughout Frankl’s life span. The authors define virtue in terms of appreciation of beauty, gratitude, hope, humour and spirituality, and define meaning based on Paul Wong’s PURE model. They apply Irving Alexander’s primary indicators of psychological salience and W.T. Schultz’s prototypical scenes to analyse Frankl’s important life events.

Jeff Martinovich founded MICG Investment Management, a billion-dollar firm. Twenty years later, adversity came when he faced federal indictment. Rejecting three plea deals, believing in his innocence, he went to trial. He was convicted and sentenced to 14 years in prison, losing his career, reputation, family, homes, assets, and freedom. While serving 7 years, Jeff studied federal law and twice reversed the trial court’s decisions. Two U.S. District Court Judges were removed from his case, and in May 2020 he was released. When Not If distills leadership built upon Jeff’s 30 years of athletic, military, and entrepreneurial experience, and wisdom grown from his struggles. Leaders face varying circumstances, but Jeff’s toolkit of proven practices, behaviors and takeaways prepares anyone to survive and thrive through crisis. With disciplined storytelling, he shows that adversity doesn’t have to spell the end, but a bold new beginning. This gripping, inspiring story of resilience interweaves actionable lessons. The book’s value proposition: adversity is inevitable, it’s not if but when. How a leader responds impacts their job, reputation, finances and liberty. When Not If readies leaders for challenges to their leadership, no matter the form adversity takes.

When the US Supreme Court announced its landmark 6-3 decision to take race out of the equation for college and university admissions, it did more than just bring Affirmative Action in higher education to a screeching halt. It also fired a warning shot across the bow of businesses and governmental agencies across America: the days for workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs that violate the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment have an expiration date. In The Adversity of Diversity, award-winning political scientist Carol M. Swain and collaborator Mike Towle offer an insightful look at DEI’s inception and evolution into a billion-dollar industry. Swain and Towle explain why DEI’s days are numbered, and how we as a people can move beyond divisiveness toward the unity promised by our nation’s motto, e Pluribus unum, "out of many, one."

Author: Jay Jeezy Jenkins
Narrator: Jay Jeezy Jenkins
To Jeezy’s legion of fans, his name is synonymous with hustle, grit, and the integrity to go out there and achieve your dreams. In his first book, Adversity for Sale: Ya Gotta Believe, Jeezy shares never heard stories of what it took for him to beat the odds and get out of the streets, his mindset he carefully honed to get an edge, and the lessons that changed his life and business. Born into poverty and raised in a small town in the middle of South Georgia’s so-called "Black belt," Jeezy realized at an early age that nothing was going to come easy, there were no handouts headed his way, and if he ever wanted anything in life, he was going to have to get out there and get it on his own. So that’s what he did. Now, for the first time, Jeezy retraces his steps, going back to day one to share how he turned nothing into something, stayed solid, survived the trap, and triumphed over adversity to become the successful artist, father, husband, entrepreneur, and philanthropist that he is today. Adversity for Sale isn’t a street memoir. Like his music, this book is filled with lessons from his deeply personal story to motivate you to go out and get after your dream.
