Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For everyone who has discovered that the rewards of corporate North America are not enough, here's an inspiring, practical blueprint for change. For many years, corporations have sought Marti Smye's advice on how to transform a company in a rapidly changing world. In conversations with CEOs, managers, employees and executives, she hears increasing rumblings of discontent from all levels. The common theme is: "I'm working more, enjoying it less, and not living the life I had in mind when I joined the workforce". Now Marti Smye shows all of us who've questioned where we are in our careers how to apply the lessons of corporate change to the task of personal change. By thinking of yourself as the CEO of a company with one employee - you - you can use the techniques of change management to find the fulfillment you thought was unobtainable. Filled with inspiring stories of those who have found happiness by following their dreams, concrete step-by-step advice, and a wealth of change theory adapted for the individual, Is It Too Late to Run Away and Join the Circus? provides a smart, savvy, practical and motivating program for personal and career change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'There are many boys in the world, all slightly different from one another, and most of them are referred to by names.

Fizzlebert Stump lives in a travelling circus. But although he gets to hang around with acrobats, play the fool with clowns, and put his head in a lion's mouth every night, he's the only kid there - and he's bored.

Will he ever see the circus again?

Book excerpt: "I just finished reading and HIGHLY enjoyed Running Away from the Circus! At times while reading I would laugh out loud and my wife would say, "What is so funny?" so I would explain what had made me laugh so hard." -Kenzia Drake, St. Pius X Seminary "I LOVED this book! First of all, the subject matter is so different; from Nove's life in the circus to his study in the seminary to the conflict between these different callings." - Anne Boone Johnson, Retired Professor of International Education, Univ. of W. Florida "I'll start by saying how much I enjoyed reading Nove's "life story." He writes well and with a real sense of humor, so it's quite hard not to enjoy the book". - Dr. Joseph Sheley, President Emeritus of California State University, Stanislaus and author of Preordained I've known Nove since he was a little kid when I worked on his uncle's circus. His circus and carnival material captures the times authentically and presents a much-needed, positive perspective on Circus and Carnival folk." - Chester Cable, "The Man with the Educated Feet" co-owner, LA Circus and Guinness World Record holder. "If only I could write like this! Hilarious and insightful at every turn, this book exhilarates like a good roller coaster ride and deep dives into life lessons that resonate long afterward. Whatever you'd thought about life (whether "normal" or unique), think again. This book upends every expectation-and leaves you grinning all the wider for it by the end." - Dr. Susan V. Meyers, award-winning author and director of Seattle University's Creative Writing Program --- From homemade dollar bills to babies falling from the top of circus tents, from religious boot camps to a fight with God Himself, Running Away from the Circus is a coming-of-age memoir as vibrant as its historical backdrop: 1960's San Francisco. When a boy from a circus family thinks he hears God calling, he embarks on a delicate balance-tenuous as any high wire act- a "carnie kid" set on becoming a Catholic priest. While his summers working on a carnival offer reprieve from the rigid dictums of the Catholic seminary, the years of his adolescence are unrelenting, as society, the Church, and even God Himself change dramatically. Along the way, his unshakable childhood faith gives way to a more skeptical adult eye as he must ultimately face that "elephant in the room" the Catholic Church's insistence on mandatory celibacy for its clerics. At once the story of one boy's youth amidst the turbulent 1960's and an exotic glimpse into circus life, this striking memoir reminds us always to question how much of life is assumed, and how much is choice-or, at least, a calculated risk. And, in the end, it's also a love story.

Download or read book Circus Mania! written by Douglas McPherson and published by Peter Owen Publishers. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of the circus from its origins in the Roman times, through its establishment in Western Europe, and to the modern day circus—absolutely diverse and captivating Circuses have existed since Roman times, but centuries later, the circus world has never been more diverse and captivating, the global success of Cirque du Soleil testament to its enduring and universal appeal. Traditional family circuses for kids, arty cirque-style shows for adults, circuses in tents or in theaters, circuses with animals or without, cabaret-style hybrids on the burlesque circuit—this is an expert guide to their extraordinary history and culture. The circus requires a unique type of performer, people who blend the discipline of sports stars with the razzmatazz of showbiz; itinerant but clannish entertainers who have often had circus blood in their families for generations; world class gymnasts who risk death twice daily and help take down the big top afterwards. This history offers a journey into this unique world, each chapter an access-all-areas pass to a different circus, talking to the trapeze flyers, clowns, animal trainers, and showmen about their lives, work, families, customs, and traditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Katie Hickman went to Mexico looking for magic. She found it in the circus – Big Top, clowns, elephants and all – where cheap, torn materials and tarnished sequins are transformed into nights of glittering illusion. Gradually adjusting to the harsh ways of the circus's nomadic lifestyle, she soon became absorbed into this hypnotic new world, at first as a foreigner but later as 'La Gringa Estrella', a performer in her own right. Travels with a Mexican Circus is an unforgettable account of a year-long journey through an extraordinary and bizarrely beautiful country.
