Lia Ocampo’s, We Love Flying: How to Inspire Kids to Follow Their Dreams to Fly is a beautifully illustrated children’s book about the wonder of travel and the importance of following your dreams.

The story centers on siblings, Drake and Shanel. Drake is nine years old and wants to be a pilot. Shanel is twelve years old and dreams of traveling the world. As a part of the story, we see Drake and Shanel experience incredible travel moments including: getting to see inside the cockpit of a plane, getting to meet the pilot, talking with the crew, and more.

What truly stands out about the book is that it’s both educational and interactive. With colouring pages, guessing games, and more, the book skillfully blends learning with fun. In addition, the colourful illustrations and images of global landmarks (from the Statue of Liberty, to the Taj Mahal, to the Great Wall of China) help bring each scene and setting in the book to life, giving young readers a better understanding of the incredible sights and destinations our world has to offer.

Ocampo’s writing style is clear, accessible, and easy to understand. Her experience as a flight attendant shines through, adding a level of authenticity to the book that is both infectious and inspiring. The book shares powerful themes of perseverance, believing in oneself, diversity, and inclusion, making it not only a guide for discovering one’s passions, but a celebration of travel and adventure. Ultimately, the underlying message of the book is that it’s possible to reach for big goals when you have the tools, resources, and encouragement to dream big. This is an important message for young readers to take in, and a good reminder for grown-ups about the power of chasing your dreams.

So, whether you're a parent wanting to encourage your child, a teacher fostering global awareness, or a young dreamer excited to discover the world, We Love Flying will make a charming addition to any library.

]]> What Made Me Who I Am 27406702 Ěý
Bernie Swain is one of those few very fortunate people.Ěý He quit his job in 1980 to start a lecture agency with his wife and a friend.Ěý By the end of their first rocky year--just as his savings were running out--Swain's first revenues trickled in. ĚýHe began signing every speaker with a handshake; this proved to be the hallmark of trust that helped accelerate the company's growth. Years later, his roster of speakers would be the greatest in history since America's first agency represented a host of notables such as Mark Twain, Susan B. Anthony, and Frederick Douglass.ĚýĚý
The best of Swain's fortunes turned out to be the speakers themselves because these remarkable leaders had become his personal friends. Ěý What Made Me Who I Am captures the leadership transformations of 34 of those friends--from Doris Kearns Goodwin to Colin Powell, Terry Bradshaw to Tom Brokaw, and Tony Blair to Dave Barry.Ěý This assembly of people defines a generation. What were their most powerful influences?Ěý Defining moments? Ěý Decisions that contributed the most to their character and accomplishments? ĚýĚý
Swain captures answers to these questions and more in an inspiring, practical collection of true-life stories for leaders today. What Made Me Who I Am is also a terrific gift book for graduates and others who are just starting out in life.ĚýĚý

While most people agree that having a mentor is a good thing, they don’t know how to find one or use one. And despite widespread approval for the idea of being a mentor, most people don’t think they have the time or skills to do so.

In One Minute Mentoring, legendary management guru Ken Blanchard and Claire Diaz-Ortiz, a former Twitter executive and early employee, combine their knowledge to provide a systematic approach to intergenerational mentoring, giving readers great insight into the power and influence of mentoring and encouraging them to pursue their own mentoring relationships.

Using his classic parable format, Blanchard explains why developing effective communication and relationships across generations can be a tremendous opportunity for companies and individuals alike.ĚýOne Minute MentoringĚýis the go-to source for learning why mentoring is the secret ingredient to professional and personal success.

With 90% of top performers high in EQ, and EQ twice as important as IQ in getting where you want to go in life, who can afford to ignore it?

What people are saying about it:

"This book can drastically change the way you think about success...read it twice."
--Patrick Lencioni, author, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team

"Emotional intelligence is an extremely important skill for personal and professional success. This book is excellent and the learning included in the free online test is cutting-edge. I strongly recommend it."
--Ken Blanchard, bestselling business book author of all time; coauthor The One Minute Manager®

"In the fast lane of business life today, people spend more time on computer keyboards, blackberries and conference calls than they do in face-to-face communication. We're expected to piece together broken conversations, cryptic voicemails, and abbreviated text messages to figure out how to proceed. In this increasingly complex web, emotional intelligence is more important than ever before. This book is filled with invaluable insights and information that no one can afford to ignore."

]]> <![CDATA[How to Not Die Alone: The Surprising Science That Will Help You Find Love]]> 54304221
Have you ever looked around and wondered, “Why has everyone found love except me?� You’re not the only one. Great relationships don’t just appear in our lives—they’re the culmination of a series of decisions, including whom to date, how to end it with the wrong person, and when to commit to the right one. But our brains often get in the way. We make poor decisions, which thwart us on our quest to find lasting love.

Drawing from years of research, behavioral scientist turned dating coach Logan Ury reveals the hidden forces that cause those mistakes. But awareness on its own doesn’t lead to results. You have to actually change your behavior. Ury shows you how.

This “simple-to-use guide� (Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone ) focuses on a different decision in each chapter, incorporating insights from behavioral science, original research, and real-life stories. You’ll learn:
-What’s holding you back in dating (and how to break the pattern)
-What really matters in a long-term partner (and what really doesn’t)
-How to overcome the perils of online dating (and make the apps work for you)
-How to meet more people in real life (while doing activities you love)
-How to make dates fun again (so they stop feeling like job interviews)
-Why “the spark� is a myth (but you’ll find love anyway)

This “data-driven� ( Time ), step-by-step guide to relationships, complete with hands-on exercises, is designed to transform your life. How to Not Die Alone will help you find, build, and keep the relationship of your dreams.]]> 352 Logan Ury 1982120622 Lia 0 to-read 3.97 2021 How to Not Die Alone: The Surprising Science That Will Help You Find Love

This hefty volume reminds vacationers that hot tourist spots are small percentage of what's worth seeing out there. A quick sampling: Venice's Cipriani Hotel; California's Monterey Peninsula; the Lewis and Clark Trail in Oregon; the Great Wall of China; Robert Louis Stevenson's home in Western Samoa; and the Alhambra in Andalusia, Spain. Veteran travel guide writer Schultz divides the book geographically, presenting a little less than a page on each location. Each entry lists exactly where to find the spot (e.g. Moorea is located "12 miles/19 km northwest of Tahiti; 10 minutes by air, 1 hour by boat") and when to go (e.g., if you want to check out The Complete Fly Fisher hotel in Montana, "May and Sept.-Oct. offer productive angling in a solitary setting"). This is an excellent resource for the intrepid traveler.

]]> Eat, Pray, Love 19501
Around the time Elizabeth Gilbert turned thirty, she went through an early-onslaught midlife crisis. She had everything an educated, ambitious American woman was supposed to want—a husband, a house, a successful career. But instead of feeling happy and fulfilled, she was consumed with panic, grief, and confusion. She went through a divorce, a crushing depression, another failed love, and the eradication of everything she ever thought she was supposed to be.

To recover from all this, Gilbert took a radical step. In order to give herself the time and space to find out who she really was and what she really wanted, she got rid of her belongings, quit her job, and undertook a yearlong journey around the world—all alone. Eat, Pray, Love is the absorbing chronicle of that year. Her aim was to visit three places where she could examine one aspect of her own nature set against the backdrop of a culture that has traditionally done that one thing very well. In Rome, she studied the art of pleasure, learning to speak Italian and gaining the twenty-three happiest pounds of her life. India was for the art of devotion, and with the help of a native guru and a surprisingly wise cowboy from Texas, she embarked on four uninterrupted months of spiritual exploration. In Bali, she studied the art of balance between worldly enjoyment and divine transcendence. She became the pupil of an elderly medicine man and also fell in love the best way—unexpectedly.

An intensely articulate and moving memoir of self-discovery, Eat, Pray, Love is about what can happen when you claim responsibility for your own contentment and stop trying to live in imitation of society’s ideals. It is certain to touch anyone who has ever woken up to the unrelenting need for change.]]> 368 Elizabeth Gilbert 0143038419 Lia 5 3.64 2006 Eat, Pray, Love
