The author of Wishcraft and I Could Do Anything If Only I Knew What It Was..., Barbara Sher became famous for her extraordinary ability to help people define and achieve their goals. What Sher discovered is that some individuals simply cannot, and should not, decide on a single path; they are genetically wired to pursue many areas. Sher calls them “Scanners”—people whose unique type of mind does not zero in on a single interest but rather scans the horizon, eager to explore everything they see.

What would happen if you admitted you weren't a good person? It's a seemingly crazy question. From priests to prisoners, nearly everyone thinks they're morally better than average. Why change our minds? In his conversational and delightfully self-effacing style, Brant Hansen shows us why we should fight our drive to be self-righteous: it's breathtakingly freeing. What's more, just admitting that we're profoundly biased toward ourselves and want desperately to preserve our rightness at all costs even helps us improve our relationships with God and others.

There may be no tidy solutions or pithy answers to life’s big challenges, but Michelle Obama believes that we can all locate and lean on a set of tools to help us better navigate change and remain steady within flux. In The Light We Carry, she opens a frank and honest dialogue with readers, considering the questions many of us wrestle with: How do we build enduring and honest relationships? How can we discover strength and community inside our differences? What tools do we use to address feelings of self-doubt or helplessness? What do we do when it all starts to feel like too much?

The often-surprising results of Levy’s science offer stunning revelations about the mind-body connection. She demonstrates that many health problems formerly considered to be entirely due to the aging process, such as memory loss, hearing decline, and cardiovascular events, are instead influenced by the negative age beliefs that dominate in the US and other ageist countries. It’s time for all of us to rethink aging and Breaking the Age Code shows us how to do just that.

I can think of nothing worse than getting to the end of life and realizing I didn't live up to my full potential - that I could have lived a more complete life with all the impact God always intended. 1 Corinthians 9:24 tells us to each run the race set out before us, to get after it regardless of the obstacles we'll face in this world. This verse has a more personal and powerful meaning than you may realize. The stories within this book, most with Uganda as the backdrop, are intended to inspire and move you into action as you run this life's race, often against overwhelming odds.

In the predawn hours of a gloomy February day in 1994, two thieves entered the National Gallery in Oslo and made off with one of the world's most famous paintings, Edvard Munch's Scream. It was a brazen crime committed while the whole world was watching the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer. Baffled and humiliated, the Norwegian police turned to the one man they believed could help: a half English, half American undercover cop named Charley Hill, the world's greatest art detective.

yung pueblo’s path to deep healing began only after years of drug abuse had taken a toll on his mind and body. Searching for a way forward, he found that by honestly examining and addressing the anxieties and fears that he had been running away from, he no longer felt like a stranger inside of his heart and mind. And once he dedicated himself to meditation and trusting his intuition, he started to finally feel mentally lighter, with more love emerging from within. This was not an easy journey, and it's one that he is still on, but it showed him that real healing is possible.

Publisher's summary
In this stirring follow-up to his memoir, Steve Pemberton gives practical encouragement for how you can be a "human lighthouse" for others and through these inspiring stories will renew your hope for humanity.
Our polarized, divisive culture seems to be without heroes and role models. We are adrift in a dark sea of disillusionment and distrust, and we need "human lighthouses" to give us hope and direct us back to the goodness in each other and in our own hearts.
Steve Pemberton found a lighthouse in an ordinary man named John Sykes, his former high school counselor. John gave Steve a safe harbor after Steve escaped an abusive foster home and together they navigated a new path that led to personal and professional success. Through stories of people like John and several others, you will identify how the hardships you have overcome equip you to be a "human lighthouse", inspiring those around you.
The humble gestures of kindness that change the course of our lives can shift the course for America, too. With a unique vision for building up individuals and communities and restoring trust, The Lighthouse Effect opens your eyes to those who are quietly heroic. You will reflect on the lighthouses in your own life and be reminded that the greatest heroes are alongside us - and within us.

Guidance while I was dealing with change.
Everyone goes through life changes - new jobs, relationships, moving to a new location. For me, as I read this book amongst the changes I’m experiencing, I found great peace and acceptance with the process as a result.
Excellent book (so is his other book A Chance in The World).

Inspiring Collection
Steve’s life’s journey to date from A Chance In the World set a tone for extraordinary courage and strength as well as the power of faith.
In this book, The Lighthouse Effect, the contributions of those like Claire Levin and John Sykes, who were ordinary people with an extraordinary sense of compassion and generosity gives inspiration to just do good. Heroism is humanized. Whether trying to save as many lives during 9/11, offering refuge, or something else. This book reaffirms that we all may be a hero to someone by being our best selves. Letting those altruistic tendencies flourish, we will find ways to change the world for ourselves and others regardless of our chosen vocation and path as well as socioeconomic or other measure of success. There is something noteworthy for everyone to contemplate about themselves and others in their lives past and present. Love the connectedness of these 10 seemingly disparate stories. Start anywhere, but read them all. I loved it.

Inspirational and moving, motivating
I was so surprised to run across this book! Not only because it came at a timely moment, but because I have had a business by that name for sometime and its sole purpose is to motivate, and encourage people. Particularly ones that have found themselves in difficult circumstances and/or fallen on hard times. Beautifully written and narrated!

Great Life Story
I happened on this title and gave it a shot. Excellent book of how others make a positive mark on our lives and easy it is to make a positive mark on others: kindness and other driven people will change this world on good deed at a time. One heart touching another! You will most likely never know how your kind deed added to the kind deeds of others will change a life. Be a light. I love how the author makes the connection of the lighthouse to people shining their light on the needs of others. Great story! Makes you stop and think!
