Between Trapezes: Flying Into a New Life with the Greatest of Ease
by Gail Blanke

Unlike other books that concentrate solely on surviving career or other life transitions, Between Trapezes exhorts us all to reject the routine and predictable in favor of the adventurous and the serendipitous. With exercises and motivating tales of real people from all walks of life who summoned the courage to welcome a new start and create a whole new self. Gail Blanke demonstrates that the real thrill in life is not in the landing; it’s in the flying.  And she reminds us that the greatest flyers and always the greatest fallers. No one ever reaches those dizzying heights without taking a few plunges!

by Jason Jennings

Is it possible for a company to grow its revenues and profits by ten percent or more, for at least ten consecutive years, not counting acquisitions? That’s an incredibly high bar for growth and profitability; one that 99.99% of American companies can’t meet, including the famous ones that routinely land on magazine covers.

Jason Jennings and his research team screened more than 72,000 companies to identify the only firms that have delivered such stellar performance for a full decade or more, despite the ups and downs of the economy. And as revealed in the new book, these superstars have a lot in common, despite their wide range of industries, including software, food services, medical supplies and sporting goods.

Why Do I Love These People? : Honest and Amazing Stories of Real Families
by Po Bronson

We all have an imaginary definition of a great family. We imagine what it would be like to belong to such a family. No fights over the holidays. No getting on one another’s nerves. Respect for individual identity. Mutual support, without being intrusive. So many people believe they are disqualified from having a better family experience, primarily because they compare their own family with the mythic ideal, and their reality falls short. Is that a fair standard to judge against?

In the pages of Why Do I Love These People?, Po Bronson takes us on an extraordinary journey.
