Nothing is more important than the ability to think well and clearly. In this "Post-Truth World," the consequences of not being able to think well are more dire than ever. "How to Think Well, and Why" uses the Awareness to Action Clear-Thinking Framework to identify five obstacles to clear thinking and five remedies for overcoming them.The five obstacles are: our built-in biases, personality, cultural influences, ignorance, and misinformation. The ATA Clear-Thinking Framework introduces a system of tools, concepts, skills, and attitudes for reducing these obstacles. It includes tools for recognizing our cognitive biases, our flawed logic, and the influence of our Enneagram personality style on how we filter our experiences. This book was written with the author's sons in mind, because these skills are so critical for young people to develop. However, as an executive coach and leadership-development consultant, Sikora also provides insights into how leaders can apply these principles to become more effective. In fact, everyone can benefit from reading this book--and the reader will never see the world in the same way.

Virginia Woolf's playful exploration of a satirical »Oxbridge« became one of the world's most groundbreaking writings on women, writing, fiction, and gender. A Room of One's Own [1929] can be read as one or as six different essays, narrated from an intimate first-person perspective. Actual history blends with narrative and memoir. But perhaps most revolutionary was its address: the book is written by a woman for women. Male readers are compelled to read through women's eyes in a total inversion of the traditional male gaze. VIRGINIA WOOLF [1882–1941] was an English author. With novels like Jacob’s Room [1922], Mrs Dalloway [1925], To the Lighthouse [1927], and Orlando [1928], she became a leading figure of modernism and is considered one of the most important English-language authors of the 20th century. As a thinker, with essays like A Room of One’s Own [1929], Woolf has influenced the women’s movement in many countries.

First delivered as a speech to schoolgirls in Kent in 1926, this enchanting short essay by the towering Modernist writer Virginia Woolf celebrates the importance of the written word. With a measured but ardent tone, Woolf weaves together thought and quote, verse and prose into a moving tract on the power literature can have over its reader, in a way which still resounds with truth today. I have sometimes dreamt, at least, that when the Day of Judgement dawns and the great conquerors and lawyers and statesmen come to receive their rewards – their crowns, their laurels, their names carved indelibly upon imperishable marble – the Almighty will turn to Peter and will say, not without a certain envy when he sees us coming with our books under our arms, “Look, these need no reward. We have nothing to give them here. They have loved reading.”

No matter what, we will all age. While worrying about wrinkles and sagging is typical, there's so much more than that to aging well. Aging gracefully isn't about looking like a 20-year-old — it is quite the opposite; it's about living your best life and having the physical and mental health to enjoy it. In this stage of our lives, beauty is a reflection of inner contentment with who we are and not necessarily what we look like on the outside. Moreover, beauty is personified in radiant health and inner beauty that flows from a core of harmony and balance. But did you know that you need to change how you eat and exercise to stay healthy, beautiful, and strong after 40? This is because once you hit 40, the rules of the game change, and how you ate and exercised in your 20 and 30s may cause you to be sick, gain weight, inflammation, and overall age faster after you turn 40. In this book, I provide tools to guide you to be healthy and beautiful regardless of age. It outlines the steps you need to take to live a life full of vitality in your 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and for the rest of your life. In addition, I delineate an overall protocol that goes beyond your body's needs. The topics include exercise, nutrition, weight management, mental health, stress management, and much more. You will learn what foods to eat and what supplements are needed as we age to look young and stay healthy. Moreover, to make things easier, she gives you over one hundred delicious, easy-to-make recipes that will keep you healthy as you age. Note, I created two versions of this book; this one is the quick guide without recipes for those that are not interested in cooking but still want to know what it takes to age well. The second version is the cookbook, a 2-in-1 book that contains this guidebook and over 250 delicious and easy-to-make recipes. Both versions are available in eBook format too. The printed version of the cookbook has almost 400 color pages; it is beautiful.
