The Ten Worlds

The New Psychology of Happiness

By: Ash ElDifrawi,Alex Lickerman

What exactly is happiness that we spend our lives pursuing it more fiercely than anything else? The answer, Drs. Lickerman and ElDifrawi argue, is that happiness isn't just a good feeling but a special good feeling—in fact, the best good feeling we're capable of having. Enduring happiness is something we all want yet many of us fail to achieve. Look around you. How many people do you know who would say they feel a constant and powerful sense of satisfaction with their lives? How many people do you imagine wouldn't find their ability to be happy impaired by a significant loss, like the death of a parent, a spouse, or a child? How is it possible to be happy in the long-term when so many terrible things are destined to happen to us? In this highly engaging and eminently practical book—told in the form of a Platonic dialogue recounting real-life patient experiences—Drs. Lickerman and ElDifrawi assert that the reason genuine, long-lasting happiness is so difficult to achieve and maintain is that we're profoundly confused not only about how to go about it but also about what happiness is. In identifying nine basic erroneous views we all have about what we need to be happy—views they term the core delusions—Lickerman and ElDifrawi show us that our happiness depends not on our external possessions or even on our experiences but rather on the beliefs we have that shape our most fundamental thinking. These beliefs, they argue, create ten internal life-conditions, or worlds, through which we continuously cycle and that determine how happy we're able to be. Drawing on the latest scientific research as well as Buddhist philosophy, Lickerman and ElDifrawi argue that once we learn to embrace a correct understanding of happiness, we can free ourselves from the suffering the core delusions cause us and enjoy the kind of happiness we all want, the kind found in the highest of the Ten Worlds, the world of Enlightenment.

Whistleblowing and Ethics in Health and Social Care

By: Angie Ash

Those who speak up about poor, corrupt or unethical practice often do so at a great personal cost. This timely book explores our understanding of the ethics of whistleblowing and shows how managers and organisations can support individuals speaking out. While some professional guidelines formalize duties to speak out where there are concerns about poor or harmful practice, workplace cultures often do not encourage or support this, and individuals frequently find themselves victims of a backlash. This book looks at the social, cultural and systemic reasons that make speaking out about poor care so risky. The book looks at the ethics of whistleblowing, and why some people speak out about corrupt or harmful practice, but many do not. It offers a practical framework for creating ethically driven health and social care organizations that support and protect individuals speaking out. Whistleblowing and Ethics in Health and Social Care is essential reading for students, professionals and decision makers across health, social care and criminal justice.

The Night Bell

The Night Bell

By: Inger Ash Wolfe

The new novel in this acclaimed series is brilliantly paced, addictively suspenseful—the author's best yet. Hazel Micallef (played by Susan Sarandon in the recent film of the series' debut, The Calling) has become one of crime writing's most memorable detectives. The Night Bell moves between the past and the present in Port Dundas, Ontario, as two mysteries converge. A discovery of the bones of murdered children is made on land that was once a county foster home. Now it's being developed as a brand new subdivision whose first residents are already railing against broken promises and corruption. But when three of these residents are murdered after the discovery of the children's bones, frustration turns to terror. While trying to stem the panic and solve two crimes at once, Hazel Micallef finds her memory stirred back to the fall of 1959, when the disappearance of a girl from town was blamed on her adopted brother. Although he is long dead, she begins to see the present case as a chance to clear her brother's name, something that drives Hazel beyond her own considerable limits and right into the sights of an angry killer.

Lambent Light

Who Will Know Their Name?

By: Ash Adams

There was a time when author Ash Adams didn’t know God. It was a long time, more than half of her life. In Lambent Light, she shares her story, showing how blind she was to God. She was indifferent to his existence. Adams tells how when she became a Christ follower, she discovered, with hindsight, that God had been at work in events she had kept secret because she couldn’t explain them. She harbored the secrets because she didn’t want people to think she was over-spiritual or in need of attention. Through the years, she recognized these secrets need to be told to encourage others to share their experiences. In Lambent Light, she exposes her “God incidences,” helping others acknowledge and be more aware of God’s hand in their lives. Through her testimony, Adams wants all to see the lambent light that is always around us.

Morecock, Fartwell, & Hoare

A Collection of Unfortunate but True Names

By: Russell Ash

There's a baby born every minute and each one has to be named. In this book, you'll find an insanity of nomenclature that beggars belief. Russell Ash has trawled birth, marriage, and death certificates, phone books, and censuses going back centuries to compile a compendium of breathtakingly unlikely-but-true names. Why on earth would Mr. and Mrs. O'Shea name their son Rick? What were the Fants thinking when they named their child Elle? Or Mr. and Mrs. Royd, for that matter, when naming their daughter Emma? Or how about Everard Cock, Page Turner, or Sally Forth? In this painstakingly researched, utterly true, riotously entertaining collection, readers will discover real-life examples of some of the most unusual, crude, and shocking names ever, presenting a laugh-out-loud overview of eccentricity through the ages.

The Mary Kay Way

Timeless Principles From America's Greatest Woman Entrepreneur

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Mary Kay Way

Timeless Principles From America's Greatest Woman Entrepreneur

By: Mary Kay Ash

A revised and updated edition of the cosmetics icon’s timeless guide to entrepreneurial success, featuring her people-centered business philosophy. Mary Kay Ash built a global independent sales force that today numbers 1.8 million women, and is respected by business and academic leaders. How? The secret is in this book. For forty-five years, the principles in The Mary Kay Way have helped the company succeed through changing economic times and explosive global growth. It has been said that no company wholeheartedly embodies the values and reflects the beliefs of its founder more than Mary Kay Inc. Now you can put the same inspiring principles to work for you. Recognized today as America’s greatest woman entrepreneur, Mary Kay Ash stepped out in 1963 in a man’s world to blaze a new path for women. She grew her business based not on the rules of competition, but on The Golden Rule. By “praising people to success” and “sandwiching every bit of criticism between two heavy layers of praise,” this energetic Texas titan opened new opportunities for women around the world and built a multibillion-dollar corporation. Mary Kay’s unconventional business philosophy was first published in 1984. Now revised and updated for the first time, with examples from her company’s top independent salespeople, The Mary Kay Way is perhaps her most important legacy. Praise for The Mary Kay Way “One of the most inspiring entrepreneurial leaders, Mary Kay always understood the importance of people and the value they can bring to an organization.” —J. W. Marriott, Jr., Chairman and CEO, Marriott International, Inc. “Mary Kay knew that when you put people first and then surround them with processes and disciplines that recognize their efforts, performance will soar.” —David C. Novak, Chairman and CEO, Yum! Brands, Inc. (KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Long John Silver’s, A&W)

A Year of PR

A Collection From an Educational Service Center

By: Dr. George Ash

A Year of PR: A Collection from an Educational Service Center is unlike any other public relations book for schools. It offers a year’s worth of press releases involving real schools, their students, faculty, and administrators, and covers a plethora of topics—from general operations and building upgrades to fund-raising and human interest features—all of which aim to inspire principals and superintendents to write and share their own positive public relations. With so much media coverage these days focusing on school violence, troubled youth, and funding issues, the general public may not be aware of all the good things happening within their local schools’ walls: Students are working hard to surpass academic goals, perform athletic feats, embrace new technology, and help others—making the world a better place. Take a page from A Year of PR and highlight your own school district with a smart press release plan. Let the community know what your students are up to. Shine a light on teachers who go the extra mile, community leaders who get involved with the schools, and interesting people who have a positive impact on the district. By keeping people informed, you improve relations between schools and communities and keep residents invested in their district. Moreover, a good public relations strategy presents an opportunity to show stakeholders the positive impact that faculty, staff, administrators, board members, and most importantly, students make in our communities.

Where was God when that happened?

And other questions about God's goodness, power and the way he works in the world

By: Christopher Ash

An engaging and accessible guide to the Bible's teaching on God's sovereignty This is a warm, pastorally hearted guide to the Bible's teaching on God's sovereignty. When a disaster happens; when personal tragedy strikes; when we are perplexed by world events, Christians can begin to doubt that God is either truly good, or truly in control. Christopher Ash faces these questions head on, without flinching at any of the difficulties. First he looks at six different ways people have answered this question - both as Christians and from other religions and none. He then reveals the Bible's answer: the revelation of God's character and purposes throughout history.

Russell Ash has trawled parish registers and censuses going back 900 years to compile the first ever complete book of breathtakingly unlikely-but-true British names. It features an incredible and diverse range of totally genuine names, evoking everything from body parts (Dick Brain), sex (Matilda Suckcock), illness (Barbaray Headache) and toilet functions (Peter Piddle) to food (Hazel Nutt), animals (Minty Badger) and places (Phila Delphia). Every single one has been checked for authenticity and its source is given, as well as extra notes where further fascinating illumination is possible. The book provides a rigorously researched yet laugh-out-loud overview of Britain's eccentricity through the ages.
