Falling Forward is a story of reclaiming identity, voice and power.
In this deeply personal memoir, released alongside her documentary,
Rachel Kolisi takes readers behind the public image and into the
private moments that shaped her. With courage and clarity, she traces
her journey through childhood, motherhood, love, marriage, her faith in
God tested and rebuilt, loss and reinvention, and the complex reality
of living a life under constant scrutiny.
This is not a story of perfection or arrival, but of becoming. Of
breaking, rebuilding and choosing to rise anyway. Through hard-learned
lessons and unflinching honesty, Rachel reflects on what it means to
let go of who you were expected to be and step fully into who you are.
Together with Rachel’s personal journey, she shares how purpose and
service became anchors in her healing process. Her commitment to
uplifting others is not separate from her story, but a natural
continuation of it.
Raw yet hopeful, grounded yet powerful, Falling Forward is for any
woman who has had her world turned upside down, and found the strength
to begin again.
The ultimate guide to mental toughness by James 'Iron Cowboy' Lawrence
– the greatest endurance athlete in human history.
In 2015, Lawrence set his third Guinness World Record by completing
fifty full-distance triathlons in fifty states in fifty consecutive
days – a 2.4-mile swim, 112 miles on a bike, then a 26.2-mile run, all
in under seventeen hours each day. Pushing himself further, in 2021 at
the age of forty-five he set out to complete 100 triathlons in 100 days
- a challenge so difficult that he wondered if he would survive it. By
persevering, he hoped to inspire people to do the same for whatever
difficulties they may be going through.
Lawrence has subjected his body to exhaustive physical testing, to
every genetic analysis known to science. The stunning discovery is
that, physically, he is unspecial in every way. The secret to his
bulletproof body is his bulletproof mentality.
In this life-changing book he reveals how to:
- Say yes to opportunities
- Develop confidence
- Overcome obstacles holding you back
- Forge an iron will by making and keeping small promises
- Foster hope and resilience
Page by page, point by point, Iron Hope shows you how to reach for your
dreams, whatever they are, and accomplish big things.
Everyone is programmed a little differently, and Bill Gates' unique
insight led to business triumphs that are now widely known: the
twenty-year-old who dropped out of Harvard to start a software company
that became an industry giant and changed the way the world works and
lives; the billionaire many times over who turned his attention to
philanthropic pursuits to address climate change, global health, and
U.S. education.
Source Code is not about Microsoft or the Gates Foundation or the
future of technology. It’s the human, personal story of how Bill Gates
became who he is today: his childhood, his early passions and pursuits.
It’s the story of his principled grandmother and ambitious parents, his
first deep friendships and the sudden death of his best friend; of his
struggles to fit in and his discovery of a world of coding and
computers in the dawn of a new era; of embarking in his early teens on
a path that took him from midnight escapades at a nearby computer
center to his college dorm room, where he sparked a revolution that
would change the world.
Bill Gates tells this, his own story, for the first time: wise, warm,
revealing, it’s a fascinating portrait of an American life.
