Book excerpt: THE YEAR OF THE METAL RAT, 2020, was a time of panic, uncertainty, and great division. CHINA, VIETNAM, CANADA, SAUDI ARABIA, ITALY, ARGENTINA, AMERICA, JAPAN, AUSTRALIA, PHILIPPINES, NETHERLANDS, GUATEMALA, UGANDA, THE U.K., SINGAPORE, RUSSIA… As the pandemic spread, some wore masks and socially distanced to protect the vulnerable, while others protested all public health measures as a form of tyranny and caused loud and obnoxious mass disruptions to critical infrastructure in a jarring display of 'personal freedom.' Fake news and echo chambers enabled 'alternative facts,' while unhinged narratives and cartoonish conspiracies ran rampant, often trumping coverage of legitimate and existential converging catastrophes. In YEAR OF THE RAT, the sequel to the international best-seller 'The Invisible War' (Kai's Diary), Jorah Kai documents the world’s largest ‘Zero Covid bubble’ while the outside world handles the pandemic uniquely. Reaching out to friends across the globe, he weaves their stories together. Thirty-six writers from 33 cities in 16 countries share their daily struggles, hopes, and fears for the YEAR OF THE RAT as the SARSCOV2 virus spreads catastrophe to every corner of the globe. "It’s ... the metaphor of the yin and the yang. I’d say right now; we are in the yin. It’s a kind of disaster. It’s sad. And on the yang side... it looks like some sort of a mathematical balance that I cannot explain." - JCVD “I would have done the whole thing for a donut and a tuna fish sandwich. The money meant nothing. It was the opportunity to at least prove to myself that I wasn’t a liar, that I wasn’t living a life of disillusionment. When you think of yourself as being a very creative person, and turn around and realize you’ve been leading a lie.” - Sylvester Stallone (Rocky). "At the beginning of the pandemic, Jorah Kai led a plucky band of frontline workers and activists to fight the pandemic with science. Some called him a harbinger, others a ‘pandemic guru’ as they navigated an increasingly bizarre world of book deals, TV appearances, speaking engagements, and a recovery event with his childhood hero, martial arts movie star Jeanne Claude Van Damme. But nothing could prepare him for what came next..." - The Narrator

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As COVID-19 shut down the world in the early months of 2020, professor and writer David von Schlichten decided to keep a diary to help him cope with the crisis. As a scholar of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, von Schlichten recalled her journal that she kept while she and her dying husband and daughter were under quarantine in 1803. They had been forced into a lazaretto upon arriving in Italy due to fears among the Italians that the family might carry yellow fever, which was ravaging New York, the Setons's home city. Elizabeth wrote about the ordeal in detail that is heart-breaking, mystical, poetic, and inspiring. In Quarantine: How Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Helped Me Through the Early Months of the COVID-19 Pandemic, von Schlichten shares his diary written during the first three months of the pandemic. He writes candidly about his struggles and doubts while also offering an insightful analysis of Seton's quarantine journal and what it has to say to us today. Quarantine is an accessible, intelligent, spiritual, and heartfelt reflection on the power of Seton's wise words of hope for any crisis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book includes my testimony, diary or stories during the battle against COVID-19 in the year 2020. It also includes other people’s stories which I’ve heard from the radio or read from social media. Actually if I would be going to describe this pandemic it would be like a comet which accidentally falls to the earth. It creates a big impact and causes lots of chaos to us. These are the reasons why I wrote this book: I want to share these stories to serve as an inspiration to everyone; to remind them in not giving up and to help them remember the important lessons about life. In addition, the purpose of this work is to let the people know (especially the next generation) about the learning while taking the journey in the midst of COVID-19. This will also serve as an eye opener to them about the partial happenings during the year 2020.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life starts out as a plan in becoming someone or somebody. But plans can be interrupted, broken, or changed when making bad decisions due to some of our choices as youth and the situations that we allow ourselves to be put in. Most of the time, things are not turning out the way they should. This is the real meaning behind the title of my book, It Was Over Before It Started. I would just like to help and inspire those with depression, drug addiction, and learning disabilities to not give up just because they have problems or are not smart or the best athletes. At the end, there is a place for them. We as human beings will fall short of our goals and dreams. If not, then job well done.

Book excerpt: Life is tough, and we all have to make it through the day somehow. For author Laura Deeds, it’s with the help of a big cup of coffee and a whole lot of Jesus. In her debut book, This Caffeinated Life, Laura uses the humor and sarcasm that come naturally to her to share her real-life experiences and encourage you to keep going. Through the stories of her life, she hopes to let you know how much you matter in this world and help you understand that you can and should look to God for hope and strength. We all need a good friend to help us along the way in life, and Laura hopes she can be that friend for you, offering connection and support to those who may not find much of it from other sources. Exploring the struggles of real life that too many mothers are afraid to discuss, this personal narrative offers encouragement and hope for tired, busy, overly caffeinated moms.

This book was released on 2020-08-26 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They say that every 100 years or so, nature throws humans a curveball in the form of a pandemic. The effects, challenges, and changes may not be the same, still, a pandemic affects us all. But soon, everything we are experiencing will be part of history. The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has not only slowed us down, but also changed the way we work, live, and plan for the future. Not only for the duration of the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ), Modified ECQ, or General Community Quarantine (GCQ), but for a very long time. The Quarantined Thoughts book project (formerly called Coronavirus Chronicles) was created to give people something to do at home during the ECQ in March 2020. Our goal is to encourage everyone to chronicle life during a pandemic and help process thoughts and feelings through writing. Each of us has stories that deserve to be told. This is one of the many volumes. You can read Quarantined Thoughts Vol 1 here for free: https://bit.ly/ReadQTVOL1 This is Volume 2 with stories from: ✔️ Kath C. Eustaquio-Derla (Philippines) ✔️ Jill Barcelona-Suzuki (Japan) ✔️ Krishna Lou Ayungao (Philippines/USA) ✔️ Aurora Castillo Pulido (USA) ✔️ Kaye Angelyah Pingol (Philippines) ✔️ Ara D.

The sales from Amazon/Kindle and Google Play will be divided among the 20 authors. Each author will then have the option to donate their royalties to the ABS-CBN Pantawid ng Pag-ibig - a program of ABS-CBN that uses cash donations "to buy food and basic necessities which are then distributed to different communities in need" in the Philippines, especially those greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The author can also donate his royalties to the charity of his choice. If you decide to buy and read the Amazon/Kindle and Google Play paid version, thank you for helping us raise funds!

Book excerpt: These pages have been written by authors from the five continents fro March to May 2020, and they make up an emotional X-ray of what they were thinking and feeling while faced by a threat to their own lives. Artists, teachers, mayors, pensioners, ambassadors, homemakers, diplomats, writers, jobless, nurses... of all ages and origins, they all string their words together and write about love, fear, family, time or future. There are some who express themselves with a poem, an entry in a diary, a story or a critical reflection; and others with an illustration or a photograph. Together they create an intimate and diverse testimony of how a pandemic, the one in 2020, changed who we are as human beings.

Book excerpt: Karin Tramm’s kindergarten class at DoDEA Vicenza Elementary School on Caserma Ederle Army Base, Italy, was counting up to a magic day—the 100th day of school—when students would be 100 days smart! “Mrs. Tramm, is that the last day of school?” a child asked. "Goodness no, there are a lot of numbers bigger than one hundred,” Mrs. Tramm explained, “and we will be in school for many more days after the hundredth day.” But then, on February 21, 2020, the 100th day of school, COVID-19 changed everything. From empty classrooms to kindergarten in the kitchen, teachers, parents, and students navigated uncharted waters as their world locked down in the epicenter of the Italian outbreak. For the next 100 days, residents of Vicenza learned to find joy in simplicity, country living, and community. In diary form, 100 Days Smart highlights their resilience, recognizing and remembering the fears and frustrations, humor and humanity of shared experiences on a new path forward.

Book excerpt: Why is it that leaders – in social, political, and (most importantly) organisational contexts – are seemingly unable to address meaningfully the wicked problems and complex challenges that we currently face? There’s enormous busyness around reconfiguring departments and adopting ‘transformational’ operating models, but in general plus ca change, plus la meme chose. Eyewatering amounts of treasure and time are spent in corporate life on leadership development, with people working hard to try and demonstrate that something useful has happened as a result. An entire pseudo-science has emerged to try and prove its worth, in part to justify the economic dividend that goes to those who make it to the upper levels of positional power. The fetishisation of leadership, especially strong leadership, fills our news outlets holding up carefully distorted images of great men (leadership is still deeply gendered) from across the worlds of politics, business, and sports. This book explores the persistently disappeared and unacknowledged constraints that inhibit leaders in every context. It argues that these constraints – defined in this volume in terms of five organisational paradoxes and six management myths – are found at large in society and are especially impactful in organisational life. By calling attention to, and exploring in rigorous detail, these paradoxes and myths, this book helps leaders, and the leadership systems they are part of, to wriggle free of the tacit assumptions that lock them into a cul-de-sac of simplistic prescription and heroic individualism. Once these mind-forged manacles are removed, new forms of leadership practice become possible, ones that are fit for purpose in engaging with a world facing systemic crisis and existential risk. This book is essential reading for leaders and managers at all levels looking for solutions to traditionally simplistic leadership practice and who want to affect systemic change. It will be beneficial to all those in the world of leadership development including business schools and HR departments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up, Miriam is an average athlete who doesn't get much playing time. She never imagines becoming a runner. But a college breakup propels her to run to mend her broken heart. She begins running 5K races. These races morph into half-marathons and marathons. Years later, running helps her to cope with the workplace mistreatment she is enduring as an academic and the depression she suffers. After watching Dean Karnazes and Pam Reed on 60 Minutes talk about ultrarunning, Miriam signs up for the JFK 50 ultra. With the love and support of her family, she runs an ultramarathon every year. A few years later, Miriam is unable to run normally until she is diagnosed with neurological B12 deficiency and gets her running legs back. Three days after placing third female in a twenty-four-hour ultramarathon, Miriam's scheduled laparoscopic hysterectomy is only the beginning of her medical and surgical nightmare. When her husband Jon is diagnosed with stage four cancer, Miriam runs ultramarathons for his healing. In Come What May, I Want to Run, the reader keeps pace with Miriam as she overcomes adversity, and her unrelenting faith, perseverance, resiliency, and running ultramarathons never waiver.
