مشهد سيما

Post date 30/08/2020

تدور حول فتاة خجولة، تحيا حياة باهتة ما بين صراع مع وزن زائد وأحلام مؤجلة وعلاقات إنسانية مرهقة…

فماذا تفعل إذا وجدت نفسها تائهة في منطقة مهجورة ثم ارتطمت بشوال به يد دامية!
هل يحتوي الشوال على جثة؟ أم يوجد تفسير أكثر منطقية؟

تتبّع نورهان حدسها لتجد نفسها وسط أفراد العصابة…
فما الذي سيتغير في حياتها؟
هل ستنجح في كشف حقيقة اليد؟
وهل ستتمكن من إنهاء معاناتها مع المعارك الخطأ؟

إنها رواية بوليسية، تمتزج فيها المعاناة بالأمل، والملل بالأحلام…

فهل ستستطيع نورهان إعادة الأشياء إلى نصابها الصحيح، والخروج من شرنقتها إلى النور؟

Leadership That Gets Results

Post date 30/08/2020

(2017) A leader’s singular job is to get results. But even with all the leadership training programs and “expert” advice available, effective leadership still eludes many people and organizations. One reason, says Daniel Goleman, is that such experts offer advice based on inference, experience, and instinct, not on quantitative data. Now, drawing on research of more than 3,000 executives, Goleman explores which precise leadership behaviors yield positive results. He outlines six distinct leadership styles, each one springing from different components of emotional intelligence. Each style has a distinct effect on the working atmosphere of a company, division, or team, and, in turn, on its financial performance. Coercive leaders demand immediate compliance. Authoritative leaders mobilize people toward a vision. Affiliative leaders create emotional bonds and harmony. Democratic leaders build consensus through participation. Pacesetting leaders expect excellence and self-direction. And coaching leaders develop people for the future. The research indicates that leaders who get the best results don’t rely on just one leadership style; they use most of the styles in any given week. Goleman details the types of business situations each style is best suited for, and he explains how leaders who lack one or more of these styles can expand their repertories. He maintains that with practice leaders can switch among leadership styles to produce powerful results, thus turning the art of leadership into a science.

Rich Dad’s Guide to Investing

Post date 30/08/2020

Personal finance author and lecturer Robert T. Kiyosaki developed his unique economic perspective from two very different influences – two fathers. One father (Robert’s real father) was a highly educated man but fiscally poor. The other was the father of Robert’s best friend – that dad was a college drop-out who became a self-made multi-millionaire. RICH DAD’S GUIDE TO INVESTING, the follow-up to the bestselling RICH DAD, POOR DAD, reveals the secret of how the wealthiest people become wealthier by revealing some simple investing secrets and explaining how anyone can enjoy cash benefits merely by knowing where and how best to invest their money. The author’s nuts-and-bolts approach to personal finance and understanding the real earning power of money has gained him a huge following, particularly as he knows all his knows from first-hand experience. Once so cash poor that he and his wife were forced to sleep in their car, today the Kiyosakis are multi-millionaires and highly sophisticated and experienced investment experts..

Rich Dad Poor Dad

Post date 30/08/2020

(2017) Rich Dad Poor Dad is Robert’s story of growing up with two dads — his real father and the father of his best friend, his rich dad — and the ways in which both men shaped his thoughts about money and investing. The book explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to be rich and explains the difference between working for money and having your money work for you. 20 Years… 20/20 Hindsight In the 20th Anniversary Edition of this classic, Robert offers an update on what we’ve seen over the past 20 years related to money, investing, and the global economy. Sidebars throughout the book will take readers “fast forward” — from 1997 to today — as Robert assesses how the principles taught by his rich dad have stood the test of time. In many ways, the messages of Rich Dad Poor Dad, messages that were criticized and challenged two decades ago, are more meaningful, relevant and important today than they were 20 years ago. As always, readers can expect that Robert will be candid, insightful… and continue to rock more than a few boats in his retrospective. Will there be a few surprises? Count on it.

Taking the Leap

Post date 30/08/2020

(2019) Learn to free yourself from destructive habits and live a life of courage and compassion with these heart-to-heart teachings from “one of the world’s wisest women” (O, the Oprah Magazine). Ever feel trapped in the same old habits and painful emotions time and time again? These are patterns we all face, and sometimes they feel impossible to shake. So how can we get unstuck? Drawing on time-honored Buddhist teachings on shenpa (all the attachments and compulsions that cause us suffering), Pema Ch?dr?n shows how certain habits of mind tend to “hook” us and get us stuck in states of anger, blame, self-hatred, addiction, and so much more—and, most of all, how we can liberate ourselves from them. “This path entails uncovering three basic human qualities,” explains Pema. “They are natural intelligence, natural warmth, and natural openness. Everyone, everywhere, all over the globe, has these qualities and can call on them to help themselves and others.” Pema shares insights and exercises from her lifetime of practice that we can immediately put to use in our lives to awaken these essential qualities and help us to take a bold leap toward a new way of living—one that will bring about positive transformation for ourselves and for our troubled world.

Comfortable with Uncertainty

Post date 30/08/2020

(2018) 108 practical teachings for cultivating mindfulness and compassion in the face of fear and uncertainty. These are essential teachings for developing compassion and clarity amid the anxieties and hardships of real life. Collecting some of the most powerful passages from Pema Chِdrِn’s many beloved books, this compact handbook for spiritual practice is rich with inspiration and insight. Here she explores life-changing concepts, themes, and practices from the Buddhist tradition, showing how anyone (not just Buddhists) can draw from them to become more courageous, aware, and kindhearted. It includes the benefits of meditation and mindfulness, letting go of the fixations that weigh us down, working directly with fear and other painful emotions, and much more. With these teachings, Pema lays the groundwork for how we can start to overcome the habitual patterns that so often hinder compassion for ourselves and others–and that hold us back from embracing our lives joyfully and fearlessly. To anyone who ever wanted to experience true freedom, these teachings are a shining light on the path.

Living Beautifully

Post date 30/08/2020

(2019) Best-selling author and spiritual teacher Pema Chِdrِn shares life-changing practices for living with wisdom, confidence, and integrity amidst confusing situations and uncertain times. We live in difficult times. Life sometimes seems like a turbulent river threatening to drown us and destroy the world. Why, then, shouldn’t we cling to the certainty of the shore–to our familiar patterns and habits? Because, Pema Chِdrِn teaches, that kind of fear-based clinging keeps us from the infinitely more satisfying experience of being fully alive. The teachings she presents here–known as the “Three Commitments”–provide a wealth of wisdom for learning to step right into the river, to completely and fearlessly embrace the groundlessness of being human. When we do, we begin to see not only how much better it feels to live that way, but we find that we begin to naturally and effectively reach out to others in care and support.

Logic of Faith

Post date 30/08/2020

(2018) A popular American Buddhist teacher explores the creative relationship between faith and doubt, knowing and not-knowing, and shows how an awakened life results from living from the place in between. Faith is a thorny subject these days. Its negative expressions cause many to dismiss it out of hand–but Elizabeth Mattis Namgyel urges us to reconsider, for faith is really nothing but our natural proclivity to find certainty in a world where certainty is hard to come by. And if we look carefully, we’ll discover that the faith impulse isn’t separate from reason at all—faith and logic in fact work together in a playful and dynamic relationship that reveals the profoundest kind of truth—a truth beyond the limits of “is” and “is not.” Using the traditional Buddhist teachings on dependent arising, Elizabeth leads us on an experiential journey to discover the essential interdependence of everything–and through that thrilling discovery to open ourselves to the whole wonderful range of human experience.
