This is the story of God whispering, "What no one wants, I
cherish." The daughter of a mail-order bride and a busboy from San
Francisco's Chinatown, Bonnie Gray grew up never truly feeling
beautiful or beloved. As an adult, she built her life to look
pleasant and ordinary, with a wonderful husband, two amazing boys,
and a thriving career. But despite these blessings, she still felt
the tugging emptiness of a missing piece. At 39, a long-forgotten
birth certificate in an old file cabinet sparked a curiosity Bonnie
couldn't ignore. Determined to uncover her family's secrets and
understand the home she was born into, Bonnie embarked on a quest
that would leave her forever changed. Returning to the culture,
places, and stories that shaped her, her search led her to
soul-shaking discoveries about her identity, human kindness and
what it truly means to belong. The profoundly moving journey of
learning to embrace our true worth, Sweet Like Jasmine celebrates
how God uses our unique and broken stories to create a beautiful
mosaic of His love, one life at a time.
Forget 'fail fast, fail often'. This revolutionary book reveals how we get failure wrong - and how to get it right.
We used to think of failure as a problem, to be avoided at all costs. Now, we're often told that failure is desirable - that we must 'fail fast, fail often'. The trouble is, neither approach distinguishes the good failures from the bad. As a result, we miss the opportunity to fail well.
Here, Amy Edmondson - the world's most influential organisational psychologist - reveals how we get failure wrong, and how to get it right. She draws on a lifetime's research into the science of 'psychological safety' to show that the most successful cultures are those in which you can fail openly, without your mistakes being held against you. She introduces the three archetypes of failure - simple, complex and intelligent - and explains how to harness the revolutionary potential of the good ones (and eliminate the bad).
And she tells vivid stories ranging from the history of open heart surgery to the Columbia Space Shuttle disaster, all to ask a simple, provocative question: What if it is only by learning to fail that we can hope to truly succeed?

Why Pelvic Health Matters. An honest and empowering guide to
understanding your body. This book takes women on a vital journey
to better understanding their pelvic health throughout all stages
of life, and empowers them to take control of the core of their
physical and mental wellbeing. Pelvic health issues can impact a
huge range of physiological functions but there is very little
information or help readily available for these problems. Pregnancy
and childbirth can have a significant impact on pelvic health, but
did you know that it can also be affected by other things? This can
commonly lead to physical symptoms relating to your bladder, bowels
and sex life as well as impacting mental health. But knowledge is
power, and Clare Bourne has dedicated her career to improving our
pelvic health – this book contains answers to all the questions
you’ve been too embarrassed or scared to ask, and many more you
didn’t know you needed the answers for – nothing is TMI!
Including explanations of symptoms, with practical tips, advice and
exercises throughout, this book covers: 1. Understanding Our
Foundations: Getting to know (and love) your body 2. Where Did Our
Story Begin? How early life lays our foundations 3. Bump, Birth and
Beyond: Care, prepare and recover 4. Moving Through Life:
Perimenopause and beyond
