We often ask children of all ages what they want to be when they grow up, but we don't always address the Why? Teaching them from a young age that their profession should help them in their journey of self-realization rather than what material benefits they get from it. These teachings will help them be passionate about what they do in the long run. A profession chosen for material gain only entangles us further when our ultimate goal is freedom and finding our way back to Krishna.

How does a teacher impact their students in a way that will help change their lives for the better has been a question teachers have been trying to answer since the beginning of the teaching profession. Are test scores an indication of learning taking place in the classroom is another question that has been asked for many years now since the onset of national testing in reading and mathematics. Is there an intersection between the answers of the two questions or are the answer to both questions independent of each other? Author Eddie Paden has been teaching English at the high school and middle school levels for 28 years and believes that there is an intersection between the answers. For the past 15 years he has been developing his own process of teaching reading and writing which has translated into very high-test scores in the state of Kentucky and presents the process he has undertaken to accomplish the high-test scores and the high level of learning that takes place in his classes and presents the process in an easy to understand way. The process is one as well that can be adopted into any content area and in his book he demonstrates different ways some of the teachers he knows have adopted the process into math and science classes as well.

"An inviting mix of star-studded encounters and an affirmation of a persevering artistic spirit." - Kirkus Reviews"A truly fascinating tale by a fascinating man." - Martin Short"So much more than I expected. ... Highly recommended!" - Ray RomanoTuned In: Memoirs of a Piano Man offers a message of hope to anyone pursuing a dream against the odds. The unique convergence of Jim Wilson's two careers - piano technician/confidant to the stars and a globally successful recording artist - has led to extraordinary experiences with some of the world's most exalted music legends: singing Beatle songs with Paul McCartney, limo rides with Elton John, road trips with Carole King, and horseback riding with Dan Fogelberg. But beyond this everyman's unique telling of intimate celebrity tales, Tuned In is an inspiring story of one man's relentless pursuit of a dream, and a revealing testimony to the power of music in all our lives. Emerging from a troubled childhood in a broken West Texas home, a young man moves to Los Angeles to pursue fame and fortune as a singer-songwriter. He soon strays from his mission when his piano tuning sideline blossoms into a career as piano technician to the entertainment industry's biggest names. His help in the development of the world's first MIDI-adapter for acoustic piano leads to him sharing adventures, sessions, meals, and laughs with dozens of his childhood heroes. His front row seat provides him with a rare and fascinating view into their creative processes. But when his world is shattered by his dearest friend's sudden and untimely death, he is forced to question the true meaning of success. He returns to his heart's purpose, takes a leap into the unknown, and sets out on a solo career, recording and performing his signature style of piano-featured instrumentals. Along the way he battles countless obstacles, including crippling panic attacks. After four Billboard Top-20 albums, two PBS specials, and over 75 million worldwide streams of his compositions, Jim reflects on his life in music. He offers us a candid, humorous, insider's account of the raucous LA scene and shares engaging tales of his time spent with music legends.

"Such a timely and relevant book. It's more than a self-help book, it's a help community, help life, help the planet book." Ana Salote, author of The Waifs of Duldred Are you wondering what you can do about the world falling apart? The answer, says author Maggie Ostara, PhD, is in developing our Feminine Sovereignty. This involves not royalty or power-over, but instead an ethic of care and compassion for both individuals and the collective and the living world. The book Feminine Sovereignty weaves its eight vital themes into a rich tapestry of evocative narrative, personal memoir, and fresh looks at the historical forces that have led us to where we are today. It draws on Quantum Human Design, Kundalini Yoga, Clarity Breathwork, and other transformational perspectives and practices drawn from the author's 25 years as a teacher and mentor in the personal growth realm. It then calls for each of us to step up as sovereign beings and into our role caring for the people and the planet that care and provide for us. Read Feminine Sovereignty to: - Release cultural conditioning that's kept you locked in a limited identity and locked out of your full potential.- Discover and develop the four key strengths you need to build your personal sovereignty, your power within, so you can take command of your life.- Build your inner adeptness so you can show up confident, clear, purposeful, and compassionate in the outer world.- Cultivate your ability to communicate and collaborate with others similarly focused on creating a world we'd be proud to leave to future generations, the Thrutopian imperative.- Create the purpose and contribution you came here to make and become a potent agent of change in the areas of life that means the most to you. Both clear-eyed and kind, Ostara invites you to come to terms with some of the big underlying issues that separate and set us against one another. In doing so, she walks alongside you, hand in hand, inviting you to pause and reflect, notice how you're feeling, and engage with evolutionary practices to metabolize and integrate the material. This book helps you turn toward rather than away from climate change, ecological collapse, systemic racism and misogyny, and radical disparity in the distribution of resources and wealth. Every page guides and cheers you on to becoming adept in your own life and helping to birth a more beautiful, equitable, and regenerating world. And to do it all with resilience, fortitude, creativity, optimism, and even humor and joy. By the end of this book, you'll have all you need to be strong and resourced even in the most difficult situations, to well communicate and collaborate across historical divides, and to be a part of the solution our world is calling for."Like an oracle sounding a call, this book asks us to wake up to the very real challenges the world faces, and to access the wisdom and power within ourselves and our communities to actively transform the world we inhabit." Robin Winn, Author of Understanding Your Clients Through Human Design
