Life Beyond Bullets


Book Description

As a young man, the author unfolds his profound and vibrant reflections of his luminous, candid, and intensely personal account of living in rural Afghanistan and various countries in West Africa. The book is a journey with thoughtful exploration addressing the cross-cultural, political, gender, economic, security, and religious issues of war zones and least developed nations as directly observed by the author. The author's concern throughout is on unearthing ways of fitting in and gaining acceptance from the resident population. Brimming with his incisive and eclectic honest experiences in this raw, unflinching, exquisitely written, fast-paced memoir, he charts ways to win the trust of local people, portraying the development themes and ideologies, dangers that he and others have faced, health and security issues, his fond memories and lessons learned about reintegrating after returning from various development missions in dangerous and less-developed locales from his perspective. Sharp and evocative, Life Beyond Bullets goes beyond conventional war and development books. Providing a unique window into examining and depicting the poignant challenges and walks us through the tiny details of the realities of everyday life. A long distance from the diplomatic and media bubbles most people are familiar with.

Blunts, Bullets, and Belligerence


Book Description

Sometimes going forward means looking back. Megan Blaising has served in various low-performing schools and provides us with detailed accounts of the challenges the students faced while attempting to acquire an education. Her experience there was transformative. With painstaking detail, Blaising reflects on the "oddly-comforting" sounds of gunshots early in the morning and why late night calls have her fearing another life has been lost. But she doesn't seek a movement against social unfairness. In truth, Blaising uses her memories and the diverse students who inhabit them as a way to show that educational institutions should be a place of consistency, protection, and empathy. While good intention is rife within our society, it is often met by powerful, negative forces seeking to keep the status quo intact. In this groundbreaking memoir, Blaising examines the lingering effect of discrimination and the way it has impacted our schools, students, and current societal constructs. Question: How can one fully develop and function when living in a constant state of uncertainty and fear? Answer: They cannot. Blaising challenges the current educational system to address the why behind students' behavior instead of the behavior itself.




The Bullet Journal Method


Book Description

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Transform your life using the Bullet Journal Method, the revolutionary organisational system and worldwide phenomenon. The Bullet Journal Method will undoubtedly transform your life, in more ways than you can imagine' Hal Elrod, author of The Miracle Morning In his long-awaited first book, Ryder Carroll, the creator of the enormously popular Bullet Journal organisational system, explains how to use his method to: * TRACK YOUR PAST: using nothing more than a pen and paper, create a clear, comprehensive, and organised record of your thoughts and goals. * ORDER YOUR PRESENT: find daily calm by prioritising and minimising your workload and tackling your to-do list in a more mindful and productive way. * PLAN YOUR FUTURE: establish and appraise your short-term and long-term goals, plan more complex projects simply and effectively, and live your life with meaning and purpose. Like many of us, Ryder Carroll tried everything to get organised - countless apps, systems, planners, you name it. Nothing really worked. Then he invented his own simple system that required only pen and paper, which he found both effective and calming. He shared his method with a few friends, and before long he had a worldwide viral movement. The system combines elements of a wishlist, a to-do list, and a diary. It helps you identify what matters and set goals accordingly. By breaking long-term goals into small actionable steps, users map out an approachable path towards continual improvement, allowing them to stay focused despite the crush of incoming demands. But this is much more than a time management book. It's also a manifesto for what Ryder calls "intentional living": making sure that your beliefs and actions align. Even if you already use a Bullet Journal, this book gives you new exercises to become more calm and focused, new insights on how to prioritise well, and a new awareness of the power of analogue tools in a digital world. *** This book has been printed with three different colour designs, black, Nordic blue and emerald.
