When the storm hits, you have three choices: give up and become a
victim; do what you can to survive; or learn to thrive. You don't
need to have exceptional talents or resources to overcome
adversity, be resilient, and achieve extraordinary goals. You are
capable of more than you realize. You can learn to thrive. Bill
Murphy is proof. He'll be the first to tell you he is nothing
special, but he has been able to overcome an abusive childhood,
post-traumatic stress (PTSD), mental health challenges, and
unexpected crises to finish an Ironman, earn a black belt in Krav
Maga, and run the Boston Marathon five times--including one on
crutches. He's a regular guy who is now thriving at the top of his
profession, too. And in Thriving in the Storm, he explains how you
can achieve similar success. Murphy shares the 9 key principles and
the 21 mental exercises that have helped him succeed beyond what
anyone thought was possible. By distilling wisdom from other
experts like Tony Robbins and Grant Cardone, sharing personal
anecdotes, and telling inspirational stories from other achievers
he's encountered, Murphy has created a straight-talk, self-help
resource for anyone who wants to transform their feelings of shame,
anger, resentment, rejection, and fear into great success,
happiness, peace, and an overall enthusiasm for life.

Many Indiana University fans have heard the name Branch McCracken,
after whom the hallowed court at Assembly Hall is named, but how
many of them know about the legendary coach himself? Before Tom
Crean, before Bob Knight, IU basketball relied on this man to make
the school famous for its hoops stars. And boy did he--with two
national titles, four Big Ten titles, and numerous other accolades,
McCracken defined Hoosier Hysteria for a generation. However, his
greatest legacy remains the example of good character he set and
the way he touched the lives of everyone around him. Fans remember
him as the coach who helped IU break the color barrier in Big Ten
basketball, and players remember him as a second father. If, as
McCracken once wrote, "A coach is not paid in money or winning
teams, but in the men his players become," he was a rich man,
indeed. Branch McCracken made Indiana University basketball a force
to be reckoned with, and this is his story.
A Forest Tale tells the story of an ambitious eagle named Bill
and his plans to change life in the Forest forever with the
creation of the "Forest Wide Web."
He teams up with a co-worker, Mary the Crow, and a client,
Thomas the Bear, and sets out to make his mark in the Forest. From
raising investment capital for his startup and hiring the team, to
working with lawyers and boards of directors, A Forest Tale is
filled with the ins and outs of turning a business dream into
full-blown reality. Bill quickly learns that the task of creation
is much more difficult than he'd imagined. Meeting and balancing
the daily demands from friends and family and co-workers and
investors seems impossible. As Bill struggles to fulfill his
growing list of commitments and to do it all, his inspiring vision
blurs and the joy of creation turns to despair. Can he possibly
recover after so many wrong turns? Bill the Eagle's story is a
startup fable that entertainingly shares the growing pains of
entrepreneurship. A Forest Tale will keep you smiling, make your
heart heavy at times, but ultimately give you hope that anything is
possible. www.aforestale.com @aftale

Tired of cash flows that leave little money in your pocket? If
you're feeding livestock in confinement rather than on pasture,
you're working too hard and spending too much money. Your permanent
pasture is a valuable resource that up till now has been wasted.
Forget about how pastures are. Think of how they could be if they
were managed with the same amount of attention that you give to
your other crops. Voisin management intensive grazing takes into
account the needs of both animals and plants, rather than animals
alone. Its use can at least double or triple your pasture's
productivity. This book explains why and how to use management
intensive grazing, and what to expect from its use. It shows a way
to simplify your farm operation, reduce its labor needs, increase
its productivity, and improve your quality of life.
Saint Francis, like Pope Francis today, believed love is the most
important quality in life, especially love of God, of others and of
the world around us. The Story of St Francis is a charmingly
illustrated account of the beloved Italian saint who founded the
Franciscan Friars and was renowned for showing kindness to all
God's creatures. We learn how illness and his time spent in prison
affected Francis deeply and strengthened his relationship with God.
We also discover how Francis devoted his life to helping the poor,
his taming of the wolf of Gubbio and his great friendship with a
noblewoman named Clare. The Story of St Francis teaches us to
follow Francis by carrying out small acts of kindness every day to
help our friends, our family, our neighbours and the natural world.
"An invaluable guide to those who might follow in the footsteps
of these remarkable young entrepreneurs."--William Sahlman,
Professor, Harvard Business School
In 1998, three Harvard Business School graduates--two men and
one woman--turned down six-figure salaries at big corporations, bet
on themselves, and launched their own new companies. By their
ten-year reunion, their audacity had paid huge dividends. They'd
made many millions of dollars, created hundreds of jobs--and left
their mark on the world.
Based on dozens of interviews with highly successful
entrepreneurs, Harvard Business School professors and alumni, "The
Intelligent Entrepreneur" tells the compelling and instructive
story of how these three young founders developed ideas, assembled
teams, built ventures, and achieved their dreams. Their hard-won
insights--distilled into ten key rules--will help anyone become a
successful entrepreneur.
What they teach you at Harvard Business School is that
intelligent entrepreneurship can be learned. In that spirit, Bill
Murphy Jr. uses a unique combination of vivid storytelling and
lucid instruction to show would-be entrepreneurs how to improve
their odds of creating dynamic, lasting businesses.
