What holds you back from your dreams? Surrounded by daily negative messaging in our lives, we hold ourselves back by the fear that surrounds us, leaning into our hopes for a better future without taking the necessary steps to make those hopes a reality. Prisoners of Hope prepares us for the journey into ourselves as we shed layers of past negativity to grasp our dreams. Taking us through examples of the challenges in life, author Salvador S. Erazo teaches us how to listen to our inner callings and find the passion in our lives that drives us to become better versions of ourselves. Through goal setting, lessons learned, and ultimately taking that first step into a new beyond, Prisoners of Hope offers us a guiding hand as we consciously face our fears to welcome our new lives. Prisoners of Hope is his first book.
Founder of Pioneer Log Homes and creator of reality HGTV series Timber Kings and Carver Kings, Bryan Reid believes that anyone, including the youth of today, can become successful in life and business with the right attitude and hard work. “If I can do it, then anyone can do it—you just have to work hard and give 100% every day.” Raised in poverty with several siblings and a single mother, Bryan could easily have remained broke and become homeless, but two momentous experiences at a young age changed his life forever. As a toddler, he fell into a well, only to be saved by his mother and her unrelenting will to rescue him. Then as an impoverished young boy, he found a 50-cent piece during a walk one afternoon and, instead of keeping it for himself, gave it to his mother to help toward expenses. From those two experiences, he learned the value of money and kindness and to never give up. If it wasn’t for those lessons, Bryan would not have had success in his log home building business—nor would he have been able to fight a setback that would shake both his world and the empire he had worked so hard to build… Money Grows on Trees is an inspirational biography that masterfully threads the lessons Bryan has learned throughout his remarkable journey with tales from his life and of those who have helped him along the way. “I must say that success to me is only rarely about money, but mainly about self satisfaction, gratification, and making others happy.”
In an increasingly competitive market, it’s harder and harder to stand out. But by reaching consumers on an emotional level, we can make a lasting, impactful connection in little more than the blink of an eye. This is the idea at the heart of the ThinkBlink Manifesto. With abundance of stores, products on retail shelves and website pages teeming with choices, never has the need to make your brand stand out been more urgent. Studies reveal that consumers make these choices on emotional impulse rather than through calculated weighing of a product’s pros and cons. Drawing on a wealth of real-world examples, the ThinkBlink Manifesto demonstrates how to transform your brand using the power of emotional connection, including… • Building a compelling brand “story” that resonates with your target consumer • Drawing on the power of color, shape, and other elements of emotive brand design • Building a community around your brand and cultivating your consumers’ sense of belonging • Accurately assessing consumer sentiment and loyalty to your brand • Anticipating emerging trends and tools in building consumers’ emotional investment in your brand, including AI and machine learning Thorough, compelling, and irrefutably convincing, the ThinkBlink Manifesto is essential reading for anyone looking to distinguish their brand and cultivate a loyal and invested consumer base.
“Poetry is language at its most distilled and most powerful” – Rita Dov What does it mean to preserve a legacy through words? Somali poets answer this question with the fierce beauty and timeless wisdom of their verse. This anthology shines a light on the voices of Awdal, a region known for its rich poetic traditions. In one poem, a leader’s counsel urges vigilance against division (“or else strange plants will grow”). In another, the poet extolls the artist’s sacred role as guardian of clarity and culture. Each poem is a testament to the resilience, unity, and faith of the Somali people, and a celebration of the spirit and wisdom that shape this cultural identity. A special honor is given to the late Abwan Hassan Elmi Diiriye, affectionately known as “the poet of poets” (abwaanka abwaanadda). His legacy, one of eloquence and insight, serves as the bedrock of this collection, inspiring the preservation of Somali heritage through verse. Translated with care these works retain the depth and lyrical beauty of the original Somali poems, each of which is presented here alongside its translation. This collection not only honors the literary heritage of Awdal’s great minds but also provides the young people of Somalia and readers around the world a window into a cultural legacy that continues to inspire and guide today.
