Book excerpt: Winner of the 2003 Trillium Book Award "Stories are wondrous things," award-winning author and scholar Thomas King declares in his 2003 CBC Massey Lectures. "And they are dangerous." Beginning with a traditional Native oral story, King weaves his way through literature and history, religion and politics, popular culture and social protest, gracefully elucidating North America's relationship with its Native peoples. Native culture has deep ties to storytelling, and yet no other North American culture has been the subject of more erroneous stories. The Indian of fact, as King says, bears little resemblance to the literary Indian, the dying Indian, the construct so powerfully and often destructively projected by White North America. With keen perception and wit, King illustrates that stories are the key to, and only hope for, human understanding. He compels us to listen well.

Book excerpt: Stories offer us some of the richest and most enduring insights into the human condition and have preoccupied philosophy since Aristotle. On Stories presents in clear and compelling style just why narrative has this power over us and argues that the unnarrated life is not worth living. Drawing on the work of James Joyce, Sigmund Freud's patient 'Dora' and the case of Oscar Schindler, Richard Kearney skilfully illuminates how stories not only entertain us but can determine our lives and personal identities. He also considers nations as stories, including the story of Romulus and Remus in the founding of Rome. Throughout, On Stories stresses that, far from heralding the demise of narrative, the digital era merely opens up new stories.

This complete summary of the ideas from Mark Murphy's book "Hundred Percenters" shows that in order to motivate your employees to be 100% workers, you need to be a 100% leader. In this summary you will find an analysis of the style and decisions of 125,000 managers, and discover that the two most important differentiating factors in separating exceptional from average leaders are Challenge and Connection. Connection is the strength of the emotional connection a leader builds with his or her people. Challenge is the extent to which a leader pushes their employees. This summary highlights that excellent leaders do five things exceptionally well: they set goals that inspire; they use feedback to generate accountability; they give positive reinforcement; they try not to impede employees, and they learn how to deal with Talented Terrors. It also shows how to implement these measures. The author explains how to give feedback and criticism so that it won’t be viewed defensively and how important positive reinforcement is to morale. Make an effort to learn what motivates your employees, and what they feel impedes them from doing their job. Added-value of this summary: • Save time • Understand the key concepts • Increase your business knowledge To learn more, read "Hundred Percenters" and you will find a valuable, applicable manual for establishing good relationships and excellent productivity.

First he tries on his dad's clothes, but they don't fit well. Then he tries on his mom's clothes, and wow! The boy looks great. He looks through his mom's jewelry and makeup and tries that on, too. When he's discovered by his mother and father, the whole family (including the dog!) get in on the fun, and they all get dressed together. This charming and humorous story was inspired by bestselling and award-winning author Peter Brown's own childhood, and highlights nontraditional gender roles and self-expression.
