Nowhere, exactly : on identity and belonging / by Vassanji, M. G.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references.From one of Canada's most celebrated writers, two-time Giller Prize winner M.G. Vassanji, comes a thoughtful meditation on what it means to belong in the world. Home is never a single place, entirely and unequivocally. It is contingent. The abstract "nowhere," then, is the true home. M.G. Vassanji has been exploring the immigrant experience for over three decades, drawing deeply on his own transnational upbringing and intimate understanding of the unique challenges and perspectives born from leaving one's home to resettle in a new land. The question of identity, of how to configure and see oneself within this new land, is one such challenge faced. But Vassanji suggests that a more fundamental and slippery endeavour than establishing one's identity is how, if ever, we can establish a sense of belonging. Can we ever truly belong in this new home? Did we ever truly belong in the home we left? Where exactly do we belong? For many, the answer is nowhere exactly. Combining brilliant prose, thoughtful, candid observation, and a lifetime of exploring how we as individuals are shaped by the places and communities in which we live and the history that haunts them, 'Nowhere, Exactly' examines with exquisite sensitivity the space between identity and belonging, the immigrant experience of both loss and gain, and the weight of memory and nostalgia, guilt and hope felt by so many of those who leave their homes in search of new ones.

Powershift : transform any situation, close any deal, and achieve any outcome / by John, Daymond,1969-author.; Paisner, Daniel,author.;
"Bestselling author and star of ABC's Shark Tank Daymond John reveals how to drive the change you want to see in your life by mastering the three prongs of influence: reputation, negotiation, and relationships. Have you ever wanted to make a big change in your life but wasn't sure where to start? In Powershift, bestselling author, Founder & CEO of FUBU, and star of ABC's Shark Tank Daymond John shares the answer. To drive the change you want to see in your life, you'd better have your foot on the gas pedal and be ready to switch gears. But first, you need to lay out the groundwork so you're prepared to seize every opportunity you're given: by establishing reputation and creating a sphere of influence, by learning how to negotiate for yourself and your position, and by working to maintain those essential relationships so you can call on them later on. Drawing on never-before-told stories from his life and career, Daymond shares the lessons and principles that got him to where he is today: from how he remade his public image as he made the unlikely transition from clothing mogul to television personality, to new negotiation strategies he honed "in the tank," to how he learned to navigate a new web of relationships as a serial entrepreneur. Whether you're an innovator working to turn your big idea into a reality, a seasoned professional looking to land a major promotion, or a busy parent trying to find more time to focus on your health and well-being, Daymond shows you how to shift your power and energy in a new direction and achieve the change - big or small - that you've been dreaming of"--

Reverberation : do everything better with music / by Blanchard, Keith,1966-author.; Gabriel, Peter,1950-writer of foreword.;
Includes bibliographical references."Music has been part of every human culture. We listen to music while we drive, exercise, eat, sleep, study, you name it; we spend hundreds to watch live musical performances; we soundtrack our weddings and funerals and everything in between. But why? We put music at the forefront of our lives because every drum solo and every aria causes our brains to fire off a cocktail of feel-good neurotransmitters: dopamine, serotonin, endorphins, and oxytocin. Reverberation: Do Everything Better with Music is the perfect hybrid of neuroscience and pop culture, examining, deconstructing, and teaching us about the ways in which we can, do, and should use music in our everyday lives. With a foreword by Peter Gabriel and jam-packed with interviews with other artists and celebrities, this illustrated book explains the science behind how music motivates us and gives us useful tips, tricks, and playlists for how we can become the best version of ourselves through our music-listening habits. Touching on topics such as sleeping, studying and focusing, exercising, sex and love, aging and memory, meditating and chilling out, emotional healing, creating, pregnancy, and music in altered states, this book covers a wide range of topics and all genres of music"--
