Bloom across Canada : 50 inspiring conversations / by Denter, Beka Shane,author,interviewer.; Okello, Lydia,writer of foreword.;
"An uplifting collection of conversations with creative, entrepreneurial, diverse people across Canada. Bloom Across Canada is a fascinating collection of fifty interviews and portraits that celebrate diversity, innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship. The women and non-binary people featured in this book represent different backgrounds, creative journeys, and walks of life. They come from every province and territory in Canada, though many have roots in other parts of the world. The one thing they all have in common is that they have followed their own path in life and have a unique story to tell. Among those featured are: Tene Ward, ballerina with the National Ballet of Canada; singer/songwriter Kellie Loder; Peace Akintade, Saskatchewan's former Youth Poet Laureate; Marika Sila, Inuit actress, hoop dancer, fire performer, and motivational speaker; and Amy Robichaud, CEO at Mothers Matter Canada and former director at Dress for Success Vancouver. Through insightful questions and thoughtful, nuanced answers, the fifty interviews in this beautiful collection paint a vivid portrait of talent and ingenuity from coast to coast to coast."--

Men get away with murder all the time. Now it's our turn. Mia's grief counseling practice, The Pleiades, is named for the seven sisters from Greek mythology who were the companions of the Goddess of the Hunt—and who, in some stories, die of grief or are killed to be saved from attackers. Mia has been gathering broken women together for a radical form of group therapy. Amy. Gabrielle. Katy. Brooke. Olivia.

She only needs to meet the others before she realizes that they, too, are consumed with desire for hands-on revenge. Under Mia's guidance, the women devise a plan to heal themselves. They'll take back their lives from the men who took their sisters. The premise is satisfyingly simple: I'll kill yours if you kill mine…

The Christmas inn : a novel / by Kelley, Pamela M.,author.;
"Riley Sanders didn't plan on losing her job as a content marketing manager right before Christmas. When she calls her sister Amy to vent, she learns that their mother has broken her leg and could really use some help at the inn. Riley decides to head home to the inn, nestled along the shores of Cape Cod, in time for the Christmas rush. She is happy to help and needs something to distract her as mistletoe is hung and snowflakes begin to fall. When she gets there, she not only finds delicious cookies and a crackling fire to lift her spirits, but also the sense of family she's been missing all along. There's Franny, a woman who has just lost her sister and has four unopened letters from her that she plans to use to open her up to new experiences on the Cape. And there's Aidan, her high school sweetheart, now a widower, who is staying at the inn with his nine-year-old son, Luke. What begins as a quick stay over the holidays to help her mom turns into something that means much more--a second chance at romance, a deeper sense of found family, and all the joy and wonder that comes with Christmastime on Cape Cod"--

Stealing fire : how Silicon Valley, the Navy SEALS, and maverick scientists are revolutionizing the way we live and work / by Kotler, Steven,1967-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.It's the biggest revolution you've never heard of, and it's hiding in plain sight. Over the past decade, Silicon Valley executives like Eric Schmidt and Elon Musk, Special Operators like the Navy SEALs and the Green Berets, and maverick scientists like Sasha Shulgin and Amy Cuddy have turned everything we thought we knew about high performance upside down. Instead of grit, better habits, or 10,000 hours, these trailblazers have found a surprising short cut. They're harnessing rare and controversial states of consciousness to solve critical challenges and outperform the competition ... Today, this revolution is spreading to the mainstream, fueling a trillion dollar underground economy and forcing us to rethink how we can all lead richer, more productive, more satisfying lives. Driven by four accelerating forces-psychology, neurobiology, technology and pharmacology-we are gaining access to and insights about some of the most contested and misunderstood terrain in history. Stealing Fire is a provocative examination of what's actually possible; a guidebook for anyone who wants to radically upgrade their life.
