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.

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 listeners, 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?

How did she turn a side hustle into a game-changing business, and at the same time, achieve happiness and fulfillment in her life? For Charlotte, it all came down to one thing - jeong. One of the most important Korean cultural concepts, jeong is a deep and meaningful connection that can be felt between people, places, and things. It goes deeper than love and friendship, and grows stronger with time. In South Korea, jeong encourages generosity, empathy, and the cultivation of lasting bonds.

If you’re anything like Sophie Hudson, your initial reaction to the hard stuff - the pieces and parts of life that keep you up at night, relentlessly reminding you that the “simple and easy” path is somehow a turn you must’ve missed along the way - is to try to figure out how to make it go away. You might wonder if it’s possible to just ignore it, or, better yet, to burn it all down. But what Sophie found during a particularly difficult stretch is that the Lord, through his word and his people, faithfully reveals how to get up, straighten up, and stand all the way up.

For us, it was a literal knock, with two men standing in crisply pressed uniforms. They had news. News that gutted us to the core - the death of our loved ones, a brother and two husbands - in combat zones. The thing about those moments is that it's almost inconceivable that they can happen to you. That is, until they do.

Soon the bullying started, and she would come home in floods of tears, begging her mother to help her.

Shelly Tygielski here shows that mindfulness can also be a powerful tool for spurring transformative collective action. In a winning combination of memoir, manifesto, and how-to, Tygielski shares her evolution from a Jerusalem-born child of traditional Sephardic Orthodox parents to a middle-class American suburban youth who questioned her faith to a young executive in corporate America.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 223
On September 11, 2001, Lisa Beamer was thrust into the national spotlight after her husband, Todd, became an American hero by preventing terrorist hijackers from almost certainly flying United Flight 93 into the White House or the United States Capitol. Instead, Todd led a group of passengers to resist the hijackers, forcing the plane to crash into a Pennsylvania field. Todd and the other heroes of Flight 93 gave their lives so that untold others would be spared. Nothing could be more heroic. Lisa is now telling that story, and much more.

The practice of mindfulness is most often touted for its profound mind, body, and spirit benefits. Shelly Tygielski here shows that mindfulness can also be a powerful tool for spurring transformative collective action. In a winning combination of memoir, manifesto, and how-to, Tygielski shares her evolution from a Jerusalem-born child of traditional Sephardic Orthodox parents to a middle-class American suburban youth who questioned her faith to a young executive in corporate America.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 58
What does it mean to be an adult? In the 20th century, psychologists came up with five markers of adulthood: finish your education, get a job, leave home, marry, and have children. Since then, every generation has been held to those same markers. Yet so much has changed about the world and living in it since that sequence was formulated. All of those markers are choices, and they’re all valid, but any one person’s choices along those lines do not make them more or less an adult.

The “mountain men” were the hunters and trappers who fiercely strode the Rocky Mountains in the early to mid-1800s. They braved the elements in search of the skins of beavers and other wild animals, to sell or barter for goods. The lifestyle of the mountain men could be harsh, existing as they did among animals, and spending most of their days and nights living and camping out in the great unexplored wilds of the Rockies.

When Edmund Hillary first conquered Mt. Everest, Sherpa Tenzing Norgay was at his side. Indeed, for as long as Westerners have been climbing the Himalaya, Sherpas have been the unsung heroes in the background. In August 2008, when eleven climbers lost their lives on K2, the world’s most dangerous peak, two Sherpas survived. They had emerged from poverty and political turmoil to become two of the most skillful mountaineers on earth. Based on unprecedented access and interviews, Buried in the Sky reveals their astonishing story for the first time.

My favorite read all year!!!
This was such a great read! So inspiring and raw! As I read, I felt I was a part of her journey! I loved how she shared the realities and challenges of being a black woman in the health industry and how she overcame them! She could not have been more real and raw of how she became the woman she is today. This book is a true testament to living to your full potential no matter what the circumstances or challenges you face! This book has changed my outlook in so many amazing ways! I am so grateful that she was able to share her experiences with others!!!

Superb storytelling!
I could not stop listening to Dr. Hunter's recount of what it is like to return to the continent of her ancestors, to share the technical insights of her profession, to create memories with her beloved family and to expand her horizons beyond what she had imagined for herself. On this magnificent journey, Dr. Hunter would be stunned by a familiar encounter, with what I'd like to call, that old oppressive THUMB. It is ready to squash the spirit, courage and ambitions of those who dare! He Called Me Tin makes for a great summer read or road companion!

What a brave, strong woman!
Dr. Hunter is an inspiring woman of color who lets us into the struggles of not only being an African American but being an African American woman in a high position. The rawness and vulnerability made this book hard to put down! Lots of moments here that gave me chills. Definitely looking forward to reading more from her in the future. May God bless her and all her life’s work!
