Be joyful [text (large print)] : 50 days to defeat the things that try to defeat you / by Meyer, Joyce,1943-author.;

Paul talks about experiencing joy in all circumstances, even during times of struggle. In this unique book, Joyce Meyer distills Paul's teaching on joy into 50 lessons that equip us to overcome the greatest challenges we face to a joyful life. Through daily readings, we are encouraged to embrace the truths God has given us that allow us to overcome the emotions, attitudes, and experiences that rob us of our joy. When we learn to Be Joyful in our journey, we begin to experience the wonderful, abundant life that the Lord has in store for us"--

The book explores everything from whether we need to be rich to be happy, to what the price of tulips in the seventeenth century can teach us about our world. Your Money and the World proves that everyone plays a part--by working, investing, donating, saving or spending--in achieving a fairer, more sustainable world.

A gift of joy and hope / by Francis,Pope,1936-author.; Stransky, Oonagh,translator.;
In this encouraging book, Pope Francis explores the meaning of true joy and offers an inspiring message: even in dark times, the light of hope can shine bright. The past few years have been extremely challenging, but even in dark times, the light of joy can shine bright. True joy, says Pope Francis, is not a fleeting sentiment or a short-term solution to suffering; it springs from a solid hope that nothing and no one can take away. A Gift of Joy and Hope is an invitation to embrace authentic beauty and a reminder to be open to encountering God, even in the midst of challenges. In this inspiring collection, Pope Francis encourages readers to change attitudes that exclude others; to reveal the deep dissatisfaction we all hide; and to overcome life's challenges with courage and faith. He also challenges readers to hope without pessimism or doubt, to hope even in the midst of anxiety, to recognize the beauty all around us, and to let God show us how to deal with your doubts and fears. This book aims to encourage readers to look outside themselves and believe that hope is still possible and that joy always has the last word.

The big fix : how companies capture markets and harm Canadians / by Hearn, Denise,1986-author.; Bednar, Vass,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."More and more of the Canadian economy is dominated by a handful of huge companies that control what we buy, how we work, and which other businesses can or can't thrive. Beyond the obvious examples of airlines, telcos, grocery chains, and banks, The Big Fix: How Companies Capture Markets and Harm Canadians shows how corporate concentration is growing across many industries, leading to higher prices for consumers, lower worker's wages, more inequality, fewer startups, less innovation, and lower growth and productivity. In this galvanizing book, Hearn and Bednar show how companies perpetuate the illusion of rivalry to disguise their dominance, and how they've shifted from competing within industries to accumulating assets across industries, further entrenching their power. The authors coach readers on how to think about competition, how markets are made and remade, and how the right set of attitudes and policies reduce corporate power and rebalance it throughout the economy. The future of Canada's economy is up for grabs, and The Big Fix shows how the country can achieve a more innovative, productive, and livable economy for all Canadians."--

The parasitic mind : how infectious ideas are killing common sense / by Saad, Gad,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The West's commitment to freedom, reason, and true liberalism have become endangered by a series of viral forces in our society today. Renowned host of the popular YouTube show "The SAAD Truth", Dr. Gad Saad exposes how an epidemic of idea pathogens are spreading like a virus and killing common sense in the West. Serving as a powerful follow-up to Jordan Peterson's book 12 Rules for Life Dr. Saad unpacks what is really happening in progressive safe zones, why we need to be paying more attention to these trends, and what we must do to stop the spread of dangerous thinking. A professor at Concordia University who has witnessed this troubling epidemic first-hand, Dr. Saad dissects a multitude of these concerning forces (corrupt thought patterns, belief systems, attitudes, etc.) that have given rise to a stifling political correctness in our society and how these have created serious consequences that must be remedied--before it's too late"--

Decolonizing research : Indigenous storywork as methodology / by Archibald, Jo-Ann,editor.; De Santolo, Jason,editor.; Lee-Morgan, Jenny,1968-editor.; Smith, Linda Tuhiwai,1950-writer of foreword.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."From Oceania to North America, Indigenous peoples have created storytelling traditions of incredible depth and diversity. The term 'Indigenous storywork' has come to encompass the sheer breadth of ways in which Indigenous storytelling serves as a historical record, as a form of teaching and learning, and as an expression of Indigenous culture and identity. But such traditions have too often been relegated to the realm of myth and legend, recorded as fragmented distortions, or erased altogether. Decolonizing Research brings together Indigenous researchers and activists from Canada, Australia and New Zealand to assert the unique value of Indigenous storywork as a focus of research, and to develop methodologies that rectify the colonial attitudes inherent in much past and current scholarship. By bringing together their own Indigenous perspectives, and by treating Indigenous storywork on its own terms, the contributors illuminate valuable new avenues for research, and show how such reworked scholarship can contribute to the movement for Indigenous rights and self-determination."--

Unstressable : a practical guide to stress-free living / by Gawdat, Mo,author.; Law, Alice,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 355-358)."Unstressable is a handbook for those who realize stress isn't what happens to you; it's how you handle what happens to you. It's a left brainer's solution to a modern right-brain problem. Mo Gawdat is an engineer. What most of us see as inchoate, insurmountable problems he sees as systems overloads to tackle and solve. Unstressable breaks stress into inputs and effects, classifying human stressors as: stress to the mind, stress to emotions, stress to the body, and stress to the soul. Once classified, Gawdat and co-author Alice Law show readers how stress can be predicted -- with mathematical certainty -- and once predicted, prevented. Unstressable shows readers how most of us deal with the unpleasant, anxiety-producing and even miserable or tragic events in our lives: stress is always a by-product, leading directly to inability to cope, health problems and cratered confidence. Gawdat guides readers to no-woo-woo, all-science-based solutions. He'll train readers to: -- Develop habits and attitudes of listening and learning that limit stress -- Learn the language of de-stressing mind, emotions, body and soul -- Respond, not react -- Release self-criticism, insomnia, and lethargy -- Increase energy, focus and confidence"--

Alexa! : changing the face of Canadian politics / by Kimber, Stephen,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."A biography of Alexa McDonough, former leader of the Nova Scotia and federal NDP. Alexa McDonough's impact on Canadian politics cannot be measured solely by election victories or seat tallies. As the first female leader of a mainstream Canadian political party, she helped transform Nova Scotia and Canadian politics. In the process, she transcended party affiliation and gender to become simply "Alexa" to Canadians across the country. In this authorized biography, veteran author Stephen Kimber chronicles Alexa's life and political career and with it, weaves a narrative of the changing attitudes towards women in politics, from her early battles as the lone female MLA in a hostile Nova Scotian legislature to her leadership of the federal NDP to her role as senior stateswoman in Jack Layton's shadow cabinet. Along the way, Kimber delves into McDonough's personal life to uncover the origins of her political career: her upbringing in a wealthy family committed to progressive politics, her tightknit circles of female friends, her personal metamorphosis from "wife-of" to "leaderof," and her emergence as a political leader whose importance goes beyond partisan politics. The result is an engrossing story of one of Canada's most beloved politicians, whose common touch and life-long advocacy of progressive causes made her a significant player in Canadian public life."-- Provided by publisher.
