Описание: Get ready for the ride of a lifetime. At an age when most people are slowing down, Rob Leachman set off on an unforgettable adventure. In 2017, Rob and his wife had just turned sixty years old and were recreational cyclists at best. But they refused to let their age prevent them from pursuing their goals and dreams. Instead, they embarked from San Diego on a 3,000-mile bicycle tour across the southern United States, hoping to reach the Atlantic Ocean forty-six days later. "One Ride at a Time: Life Lessons Learned on a Cross-Country Bicycle Ride" is part memoir, part travel story about their amazing journey, and part a guidebook for living a more fulfilling life. Whether youre an avid cyclist or an armchair adventurer, youre sure to find this unique perspective on America and tale of personal growth a ride worth taking. On October 1, 2017, Rob and Bev found themselves naturally nervous, more than a little fearful of what was to come. Unsure of their chances of success, they departed with seven other riders and two seasoned support guides on what would become the adventure of their lives. In the process, they encountered mountains and deserts, rain, wind, and even sandstorms, overcoming their lack of experience to ultimately reach St. Augustine, Florida. In the process, they dealt with great tragedy before ultimately experiencing a profound sense of triumph and joy. With countless hours riding alone as they made their way across the country, they learned many lessons about cycling, about themselves, and about life itself, including: -How to stretch yourself, overcome adversity, and achieve goals previously thought to be unreachable. -How to enjoy each moment, appreciate their accomplishments, and find beauty in the most unexpected places. -How to break through seeming limitations to live the most fulfilling life possible. Written with humor and deep reflection, this unforgettable book will leave readers captivated by the story of these cyclists pursuing a life-long dream and enchanted by such a unique viewpoint of this vast nation. And like these adventurers, it may leave you yearning to pursue that long-time goal youve always wanted to attain. "Travel memoir enthusiasts will likely find satisfaction in this account of an unusual cycling experience." - Kirkus Reviews

Описание: A wonderful memoir by the author of the Twitter phenomen - and bestselling books - VERY BRITISH PROBLEMS.
The Easter drama plays out on history's stage with magnificent and larger-than-life characters. Yet some of the most important lessons of Easter come from those whose names you may not recognize: Simon the Leper, Malchus, the Centurion at the cross, Cleopas, Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea, Barabbas, Simon of Cyrene, and Mary Magdalene offer a unique perspective on one of the greatest events in human history. And yet their stories are often overlooked.
On the Road to the Cross allows you to experience Easter through the eyes of the everyday people who witnessed the triumphal entry, saw Jesus drag his cross to Calvary, and cried through Christ's last words. Each new perspective opens the door to a fresh consideration of Easter and its impact on their lives and ours.
Companies consume 85% of workers' time in collaborative activities. But they have no idea if all this collaboration benefits corporate performance, individual productivity, or employee well-being.
Today's corporations are plagued by stress, loss of engagement, and attrition, which cripple them in their quest for a competitive edge.
What's going on?
Collaboration. Yes, that seemingly Good Thing all companies encourage is creating overload and burnout. It crushes our vitality and well-being, prevents us from being innovative, and blocks our companies from being the most successful organizations they could be.
To some this is surprising. It's assumed that it's always better to collaborate more—and faster. But the toll of all this time on collaborative platforms, email, phone and video calls, meetings, and texts after work is far more severe than companies know.
So what can be done? In his breakthrough research using network analysis and hundreds of in-depth interviews, Rob Cross has found the answer to collaboration overload. By taking action on three fronts, the best performers streamline collaboration and keep overload from derailing their careers. They use their freed-up time to invest in collaboration activities that drive performance by:
Mobilizing a broad network for scale
Creating "pull" by drawing people and ideas to them
Engaging in renewal activities to promote well-being
High performers in today's hyperconnected world create enormous impact through their networks while, amazingly, spending the least amount of time on collaborative tasks. They don't do anything magical. They simply make sure that they collaborate only where they can add unique value—and only where collaboration provides unique value to them.
You can do it too. And by applying these collaborators' best practices, you can reclaim a whopping 18 percent to 24 percent of your time—a workday every week—to invest in activities that contribute to your professional success and your overall well-being.
