Many of us yearn for “success” – a longing driven by a materialistic and comparison-rife world. How to be (un)successful: An Unlikely Guide to Human Flourishing offers the perfect antidote to the world’s skewed view of success by asking you to have an in-depth look at how you live.
It challenges you to relook at your longings and dreams, choose God’s plan for you instead of your own good ideas, vote for relationships over relevance and focus on depth over meaningless noise. You are invited to find inspiration in Jesus’ life and teachings.
He is calling you to experience the success that can truly satisfy your soul. Choosing to truly follow Jesus might just be the most (un)successful thing you have ever done in your life.
- Provides an answer to the soul-searching question: ""What do you have to show for your life?''
- Offers a redefinition of what success is
- Content is easy to read and understand
- Will also be enjoyed by a younger market
An ASCD Bestseller! In this stirring follow-up to the award-winning
Fostering Resilient Learners, Kristin Van Marter Souers and Pete
Hall take you to the next level of trauma-invested practice. To get
there, they explain, educators need to build a ""nest""-a positive
learning environment shaped by three new Rs of education:
relationship, responsibility, and regulation. Drawing from their
extensive experience working with schools, students, and families
throughout the country, the authors: Explain how to create a
culture of safety in which everyone feels valued, important, and
capable of learning. Describe the four areas of need-emotional,
relational, physical, and control-that drive student behaviors and
show how to meet these needs with interventions framed around the
new three Rs. Illustrate trauma-invested practices in action
through real scenarios that identify students' unmet needs, examine
the situation from five stakeholder perspectives, and suggest
interventions to support students and their families. Offer
opportunities to challenge your beliefs and develop deeper and
different ways of thinking about your role in your students' lives.
Educators have a unique opportunity to influence students'
learning, attitudes, and futures. This book will invigorate your
practice and equip you to empower those you serve-whatever their
personal histories.
In this galvanizing book for all educators, Kristin Souers and Pete
Hall explore an urgent and growing issue-childhood trauma-and its
profound effect on learning and teaching. Grounded in research and
the authors' experience working with trauma-affected students and
their teachers, Fostering Resilient Learners will help you
cultivate a trauma-sensitive learning environment for students
across all content areas, grade levels, and educational settings.
The authors-a mental health therapist and a veteran
principal-provide proven, reliable strategies to help you:
Understand what trauma is and how it hinders the learning,
motivation, and success of all students in the classroom. Build
strong relationships and create a safe space to enable students to
learn at high levels. Adopt a strengths-based approach that leads
you to recalibrate how you view destructive student behaviors and
to perceive what students need to break negative cycles. Head off
frustration and burnout with essential self-care techniques that
will help you and your students flourish. Each chapter also
includes questions and exercises to encourage reflection and
extension of the ideas in this book. As an educator, you face the
impact of trauma in the classroom every day. Let this book be your
guide to seeking solutions rather than dwelling on problems, to
building relationships that allow students to grow, thrive,
and-most assuredly-learn at high levels.

airship and Trans-Siberian Express, a voyage to the bottom of the
sea, an investigation through the streets of a disintegrating
Edinburgh, and a murder hunt through a dystopian London.Packed with
wild ideas and creative locations, along with dozens of colourful
NPCs (and some distinctly weird ones), Parallel Lines is

Not one Earth, but an infinity of them, existing in parallel
continua, their own paths, own histories, own futures, own
mistakes. Most are unaware of the existence of a multiverse; but
some parallels know that Earth is not alone, but mirrored.ZeroZero
knows. It watches the parallels, ensures their stability. ZeroZero
knows that instability spreads like a disease, infecting each
parallel until a critical mass is reached and cataclysm is
guaranteed.The Disruptors know. And they are intent on subverting
the multiverse for their own ends, to destabilise countries,
instigate wars, bring about destruction.The Valhalla Project was
established to stop the Disruptors; to uncover their plans,
identify their agents, and eliminate them. Their best agent is

himself unstable. Arkwright does not work alone. There are others.

Nowadays it seems like everyone wants to be successful, but how
many of us actually feel it? We may know that true success is found
in following the one who made us. And yet, in our increasingly
polarised and comparison-rife world, many of us find our hearts
yearning for an ever-elusive 'success': in money and power, in
influence and accolades. It is time for us to remember that success
is attainable - not in what we have but how we live. This book
invites you to recognise the beauty and complexity of the world we
live in and how we, individually and collectively, may have
conformed our faith in Jesus to simple consumer culture and
cultural preferences. It is an opportunity to redefine success,
choosing love over efficiency, depth over volume and real
friendship over cold transactions. Jesus' life and teaching are the
perfect antidote for a world growing sick with the wrong sort of
success. And, he invites us again to experience a success that
truly satisfies our souls.
