Disciplined Hope by Shannon Craigo-Snell Pdf

In a time of political turmoil, how should we pray? What is the role of prayer in resisting politics that are based on hatred and division? This book claims prayer as a way to choose hope over fear. Beginning soon after the Inauguration in 2017, Shannon Craigo-Snell offered brief, daily prayers lifting up people and groups who were actively working for the common good. These prayers, collected here, provide a historical record of the rhetorical and political outrages of the first year of the Trump Administration, as well as the actions of those who resisted. They remember the small victories, averted disasters, and ongoing struggles of people of good will. They affirm not only the practical value of political involvement, but also the spiritual value of such engagement in solidarity with those most vulnerable to destructive policies. In addition to these daily prayers, this book offers an introduction and invitation to prayer. Intercessory prayer, in particular, can bridge divides between religious traditions and cultural differences, creating a space in which diverse communities can hope together for a better world.

The first paperback edition of the master educator's insights from four decades in the classroom.

Beginning with his years in New York public schools and continuing throughout his four decades of working with students from kindergarten through college across the country, Kohl has been an ardent advocate of the notion that every student can learn and every teacher must find creative ways to facilitate that learning. In The Discipline of Hope he distills the major lessons of an attentive lifetime in the classroom.

Discipline Without Damage by Vanessa Lapointe Pdf

In this easy-to-read, science-based book, parents, caregivers, and adults of all kinds discover how discipline affects children’s development, why intervention should reinforce connection not separation, and why the disciplinary strategies that may have been used on us as children are not the ones that children really need. As a practicing child and family psychologist and advisor to the British Columbia ministry of children and families, Dr. Vanessa has seen it all, and she has navigated hundreds of tough situations with families. Drawing on scientific research and a wealth of clinical experience, she shows you how to put out the fire without dampening your child’s spirits; how to correct their behavior while emphasizing connection; and how to discipline without damage.

Commanding Hope by Thomas Homer-Dixon Pdf

From the #1 BESTSELLING thought leader: Calling on history, cutting-edge research, complexity science and even Lord of the Rings, Thomas Homer-Dixon lays out the tools we can command to rescue a world on the brink. For three decades, the renowned author of The Upside of Down: Catastrophe, Creativity, and the Renewal of Civilization, and The Ingenuity Gap: Can We Solve the Problems of the Future?, has examined the threats to our future security--predicting a deteriorating global environment, extreme economic stresses, mass migrations, social instability and wide political violence if humankind continued on its current course. He was called The Doom Meister, but we now see how prescient he was. Today just about everything we've known and relied on (our natural environment, economy, societies, cultures and institutions) is changing dramatically--too often for the worse. Without radical new approaches, our planet will become unrecognizable as well as poorer, more violent, more authoritarian. In his fascinating long-awaited new book (dedicated to his young children), he calls on his extraordinary knowledge of complexity science, of how societies work and can evolve, and of our capacity to handle threats, to show that we can shift human civilization onto a decisively new path if we mobilize our minds, spirits, imaginations and collective values. Commanding Hope marshals a fascinating, accessible argument for reinvigorating our cognitive strengths and belief systems to affect urgent systemic change, strengthen our economies and cultures, and renew our hope in a positive future for everyone on Earth.

We Do This 'Til We Free Us by Mariame Kaba Pdf

New York Times Bestseller “Organizing is both science and art. It is thinking through a vision, a strategy, and then figuring out who your targets are, always being concerned about power, always being concerned about how you’re going to actually build power in order to be able to push your issues, in order to be able to get the target to actually move in the way that you want to.” What if social transformation and liberation isn’t about waiting for someone else to come along and save us? What if ordinary people have the power to collectively free ourselves? In this timely collection of essays and interviews, Mariame Kaba reflects on the deep work of abolition and transformative political struggle. With a foreword by Naomi Murakawa and chapters on seeking justice beyond the punishment system, transforming how we deal with harm and accountability, and finding hope in collective struggle for abolition, Kaba’s work is deeply rooted in the relentless belief that we can fundamentally change the world. As Kaba writes, “Nothing that we do that is worthwhile is done alone.”

The Little Book of Restorative Discipline for Schools by Lorraine Stutzman Amstutz Pdf

Can community-building begin in a classroom? The authors of this book believe that by applying restorative justice at school, we can build a healthier and more just society. With practical applications and models. Can an overworked teacher possibly turn an unruly incident with students into an "opportunity for learning, growth, and community-building"? If restorative justice has been able to salvage lives within the world of criminal behavior, why shouldn't its principles be applied in school classrooms and cafeterias? And if our children learn restorative practices early and daily, won't we be building a healthier, more just society? Two educators answer yes, yes, and yes in this new addition to The Little Books of Justice and Peacebuilding series. Amstutz and Mullet offer applications and models. "Discipline that restores is a process to make things as right as possible." This Little Book shows how to get there.

Hope in the Dark by Rebecca Solnit Pdf

“[A] landmark book . . . Solnit illustrates how the uprisings that begin on the streets can upend the status quo and topple authoritarian regimes” (Vice). A book as powerful and influential as Rebecca Solnit’s Men Explain Things to Me, her Hope in the Dark was written to counter the despair of activists at a moment when they were focused on their losses and had turned their back to the victories behind them—and the unimaginable changes soon to come. In it, she makes a radical case for hope as a commitment to act in a world whose future remains uncertain and unknowable. Drawing on her decades of activism and a wide reading of environmental, cultural, and political history, Solnit argues that radicals have a long, neglected history of transformative victories, that the positive consequences of our acts are not always immediately seen, directly knowable, or even measurable, and that pessimism and despair rest on an unwarranted confidence about what is going to happen next. Now, with a moving new introduction explaining how the book came about and a new afterword that helps teach us how to hope and act in our unnerving world, she brings a new illumination to the darkness of our times in an unforgettable new edition of this classic book. “One of the best books of the 21st century.” —The Guardian “No writer has better understood the mix of fear and possibility, peril and exuberance that’s marked this new millennium.” —Bill McKibben, New York Times–bestselling author of Falter “An elegant reminder that activist victories are easily forgotten, and that they often come in extremely unexpected, roundabout ways.” —The New Yorker

Self-Discipline in Difficult Times by Hope Bergandy Pdf

There are countless people in the world who have major goals they want to accomplish. Their biggest worry seems to be that they don't have enough time to accomplish everything. There are also people who suffer immensely on a daily basis, who cannot seem to catch a break. They get one bad deal after another and are unable to get through the difficult moments in their lives. Eventually, their situations become worse, and they fall into an abyss of bad luck that appears inescapable. If the above circumstances seem personally familiar to you, then you may be suffering from a lack of self-discipline, and I used the word suffering intentionally. Self-discipline means having the ability to overcome one's feelings and act based on thoughts rather than emotions. Our feelings will tell us what we desire at the moment, but what we desire is not always the best for us. In fact, it can be downright detrimental. Self-discipline has many benefits for us, but the focus of this book, Self-Discipline in Difficult Times, will be regarding difficult situations and attaining goals. Everyone deals with major challenges at some point in their lives. Some experience it more than others due to a variety of factors. The common denominator is that those who overcome and persevere are the individuals who don't lack discipline. As you read through the chapters in this book, you will learn: What self-discipline is and how it is related to mental toughness. How having poor self-esteem can make situations worse. The many different barriers to gaining self-esteem and how to overcome them. Once you recognize them, you can start dealing with them too. Various exercises to increase mental toughness, including one of the most important aspects, emotional intelligence. The importance of having a good attention span and how to improve your own. This includes getting rid of heavy distractions. Many different exercises for self-discipline, including meditation and mindfulness. Why people with self-discipline are more resilient and able to handle what life throws at them. Self-discipline is an essential skill that is often overlooked. However, once you develop good self-discipline, you will notice massive improvements in many areas of your life. You will become more focused, goal-oriented, be able to face challenges, and improve your relationships. Basically, you will no longer be a punching bag for other people in life. You will start valuing yourself and what you bring to the table. One thing to remember is that self-discipline is not a destination but a lifelong journey. The quest to become the best version of yourself will, and should, never end. The concepts of self-discipline are simple but hardly easy to execute. You will have to put in a lot of time, effort, and even discipline to make these strategies work for you. When you start seeing improvements, it will all be worth it. If you are excited about the topic of self-discipline and how it can help you, then take the first step in grabbing the bull by its horns. Get a copy of this book and begin learning and utilizing the theories and action steps set forth in every chapter. I know you will be as inspired reading this book as I was writing it.
