Braver than I Thought: Real People. Real Courage. Real Hope. (English Edition) 13-sep-2022

por Luke Reynolds

11,17 € 12,67 €

Meet people who have had a profound impact on our world while bearing the physical and emotional scars born out of struggles and suffering, transforming their stories from pain to power in this inspirational middle grade nonfiction book about overcoming challenges.

Magazine spreads and Hollywood hits showcase stars with perfect skin, perfect faces, perfect hair, perfect lives, perfect everything. But what if this absence of scars—the hidden and physical—is really a lie? And what if, underneath all that perfection, something far more powerful and authentic is waiting to be seen, shown, and heard?

In Braver Than I Thought, kids discover the true stories of remarkable people whose scars have been a part of their journey, who have helped them become the world-shakers and game-changers that they are! The engaging and high-interest stories include Black Panther’s Chadwick Boseman, war veteran and now-senator Tammy Duckworth, and beyond-belief rock climber extraordinaire Aron Ralston, who all endured intense trauma that led to pronounced scars, but also helped them forge purposeful identities as they came to peace with their bodies.

Readers will find that whatever the physical, mental, or emotional challenges that we face, it is not the end of a story, but rather the beginning of a new one.

Fantastici Fallimenti: Vere storie di persone che hanno cambiato il mondo… dopo aver fallito (Italian Edition) 30-abr-2019

por Luke Reynolds

( 10 )

7,99 € 14,50 €

“Fantastici Fallimenti” di Luke Reynolds è un libro rivolto ai giovani, ma non solo: un libro fondamentale per capire come il fallimento è una componente importante, e anzi essenziale, del successo.

Quante volte, nella vita, sentiamo di aver fallito. Pensaci bene: che cosa ti provoca il pensiero dei tuoi fallimenti? Quasi sicuramente delusione, sfiducia, senso di colpa, vergogna... un mix di emozioni negative e per nulla edificanti. Eppure...

Eppure devi sapere che dietro a ogni successo, molto più spesso di quanto tu creda, si nascondono una serie di fallimenti. Potrebbe sembrarti un paradosso, e invece è la vita vera: il successo non piove dal cielo, non arriva come per magia e senza sforzi. Spesso il successo è preceduto da uno o più fallimenti.

È accaduto perfino a personaggi famosi del calibro di Albert Einstein, Vincent Van Gogh o J.K. Rowling. A fare la differenza non è stato il fatto che non abbiano conosciuto il fallimento, al contrario: pur avendo fallito, queste grandi personalità sono stati in grado di imparare dalle proprie sconfitte e volgerle in trionfi.

Nella società moderna siamo sempre sotto pressione per avere successo, ma fallire fa precisamente parte del processo di apprendimento su come essere una persona di successo.

Durante la sua carriera di insegnante, l'autore Luke Reynolds ha notato quanto sono intensi lo stress e l’ansia che i suoi studenti provano per i voti, per adattarsi e sentirsi parte di un gruppo e per riuscire a far subito bene al primo colpo. E ha capito che qualcosa, in questo meccanismo, non va.

"Fantastici Fallimenti" aiuta i giovani a cambiare prospettiva e imparare che errori e fallimenti non definiscono la loro intera esistenza, ma al contrario li aiutano a crescere ed esprimere il loro vero potenziale.

Grazie a storie vere tratte dall’esperienza diretta di personaggi come J.K. Rowling, Albert Einstein, Rosa Parks, Vincent van Gogh, Julia Child, Steven Spielberg e tanti altri l’autore dimostra che anche i più grandi errori e flop possono trasformarsi in qualcosa di fantastico.

Oltre ai 35 profili tratteggiati in modo divertente di personaggi che ce l’hanno fatta proprio grazie a clamorosi fallimenti, l'autore del libro fa luce anche su grandi inventori e scienziati che hanno scoperto e creato qualcosa di importante proprio per errore.

"Secondo me, nella vita dobbiamo imparare a capire chi siamo veramente e poi cercare di essere il più possibile quella persona. Ma l'unico modo per diventare il vero te stesso è fare molti errori. Fallire. Sbagliare, a volte anche tanto".

The Looney Experiment 04-ago-2015

por Luke Reynolds

( 9 )

8,55 € 12,22 €

Author Luke Reynolds’s humorous and heart-warming contemporary novel, The Looney Experiment, chronicles one boy’s journey through bullying, first love, and an up-close examination of the meaning of courage.

Atticus Hobart couldn’t feel lower. He’s in love with a girl who doesn’t know he exists, he is the class bully’s personal punching bag, and to top it all off, his dad has just left the family. Into this drama steps Mr. Looney, a 77-year-old substitute English teacher with uncanny insight and a most unconventional approach to teaching. But Atticus soon discovers there’s more to Mr. Looney’s methods than he’d first thought. And as Atticus begins to unlock the truths within his own name, he finds that his hyper-imagination can help him forge his own voice, and maybe—just maybe—discover that the power to face his problems was inside him all along.

Life's changes. They happen every day. Some large, some small. A few are very personal. Others impact the world. Dedicated to the People of Darfur: Writings on Fear, Risk, and Hope includes original and inspiring essays that celebrate the glories gained from taking risks, breaking down barriers, and overcoming any obstacles.

Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winners, a gallery of O.Henry award recipients, and many best-selling authors come together to share personal and compelling challenges and experiences. From contemplations on past drug use to reflections on gun control, social justice, passion and its sacrifices, and adventures such as skydiving, mountain climbing, and golfing, the topics vary greatly. This kaleidoscopic anthology is a commentary on the lives of prominent literary artists and ordinary citizens who have made simple, yet powerful choices that provoked change in one's self and for humanityùmuch the same way that Luke and Jennifer Reynolds do by building this invaluable collection for readers and the world of human rights.

Not too long ago, as struggling graduate students, Luke and Jennifer Reynolds conceived this uniquely themed volume as a way to raise funds to support ending the genocide in Darfur. Some people carry signs, others make speeches, many take action. What is most special about this book is that it extends beyond words and ideas, into a tangible effort to effect change. To this end, all royalties from the sales of Dedicated to the People of Darfur:Writings on Fear, Risk, and Hope will benefit The Save Darfur Coalition, an organization that seeks to end the genocide in Darfur, Sudan.
