Sandberg lean in summary6/26/2023 Yet despite Lean In’s phenomenal popularity and some of its useful tips on matters like negotiating salaries, just eight percent of Fortune 500 companies today are female-led. In her book, Sandberg accepts this fact and doubles down: Of course, no one can have it all still, women should run fully half of the world’s businesses and men fully half of its homes, because a world in which more women lead is presumptively a better world for all women. Sandberg’s book, which grew out of her Ted talk entitled “ Why We Have Too Few Women Leaders” and launched hundreds of women’s groups, is best understood as a forceful response to Anne-Marie Slaughter’s famous 2012 lament in The Atlantic that women in the twenty-first century still could not “have it all.” Looking back over the last decade, it’s unclear whether it made a difference for women in America. Former Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg’s first book, Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead, in which the Facebook COO offers predominantly female readers gutsy, directive advice about how to approach their careers, is about to reach its tenth birthday.

Revelations of divine love book6/25/2023 Her spirituality is strongly Trinitarian and basically Neoplatonic. Julian of Norwich was the most important English mystic of the 14th century. An introduction, notes and appendices help to place the works in context for modern readers. This edition of the Revelations contains both the short text, which is mainly an account of the 'showings' themselves and Julian's initial interpretation of their meaning, and the long text, completed some twenty years later, which moves from vision to a daringly speculative theology.Įlizabeth Spearing's translation preserves Julian's directness of expression and the rich complexity of her thought. Written in a vigorous English vernacular, the Revelations are one of the most original works of medieval mysticism and have had a lasting influence on Christian thought. Through these 'showings', Christ's sufferings were revealed to her with extraordinary intensity, but she also received assurance of God's unwavering love for man and his infinite capacity for forgiveness. One of the first woman authors, Julian of Norwich produced in Revelations of Divine Love a remarkable work of revelatory insight, that stands alongside The Cloud of Unknowing and Piers Plowman as a classic of Medieval religious literatureĪfter fervently praying for a greater understanding of Christ's passion, Julian of Norwich, a fourteenth-century anchorite and mystic, experienced a series of divine revelations.

Charming as a verb ben philippe6/25/2023 While I greatly enjoyed the entire book, I want to talk about two things in particular that stood out to me (besides Philippe’s great writing, obviously). But when Corinne uncovers Henri’s side hustle and blackmails him to help her change her image at the school and make her seem more approachable to colleges, Henri ends up realising that Corinne might be more than what he thought she was. Smart, studious, and prickly, Corinne has little time for anything that won’t get her into Ivy League schools. The only person who doesn’t seem to buy into Henri’s charms is classmate and neighbour, Corinne Troy. Popular and well-known at the FATE academy in New York City, Henri masks the struggles of being a first-generation Haitian son whose shoulders are straining under all the expectations his parents have for him attending Columbia University with easy smiles and a side hustle as a trusted dog walker. Was I pleasantly surprised at how much I ended up loving the book? Yes, yes, I was.Ĭharming as a Verb follows Henri Haltiwanger, a senior student who could charm the pants off just about anyone he meets. Did I pick this book up solely because there was a dog on the cover? Perhaps.

The Girl with Ghost Eyes by M.H. Boroson6/24/2023 Navigating the dangerous alleys and backrooms of a male-dominated Chinatown, Li-lin must confront evil spirits, gangsters, and soulstealers before the sorcerer’s ritual summons an ancient evil that could burn Chinatown to the ground. To aid her are her martial arts and a peachwood sword, her burning paper talismans, and a wisecracking spirit in the form of a human eyeball tucked away in her pocket. When a sorcerer cripples her father, terrible plans are set in motion, and only Li-lin can stop them. Her spiritual visions and the death of her husband bring shame to Li-lin and her father-and shame is not something this immigrant family can afford. Li-lin, the daughter of a renowned Daoshi exorcist, is a young widow burdened with yin eyes-the unique ability to see the spirit world. It’s the end of the nineteenth century in San Francisco’s Chinatown, and ghost hunters from the Maoshan traditions of Daoism keep malevolent spiritual forces at bay. |
