About Featured Book: Make One Play by Tim Selgo

Success doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether it’s business, sports, or life in general, following some basic principles can put the odds forever in your favor. Tim Selgo’s latest book, Make One Play: Impact your success, offers a simple method to find success. Selgo’s techniques and ideas will help you drill down and then level up.

Tim was a collegiate athlete at University of Toledo, where his coach, Bob Nichols, instilled in his players the idea of making one play, because you never know where it will lead. Tim has taken that advice to heart as a high school and collegiate coach, administrator, athletics director, parent, consultant, and author.

His first book, Anchor Up: Competitive Greatness the Grand Valley Way, explains how to build a successful organization through the lens of Grand Valley State University’s athletics department, which became one of the most well-rounded, successful programs in all of college athletics. Make One Play takes those ideas to a more personal level to impact your personal success.

The son of a coach, with a lifetime of experience in winning athletics, Tim has seen what works and what doesn’t. He’s been able to identify the key fundamentals that allow you to make one play, one move, one innovation and see your good fortunes soar. His principles apply no matter what your goals may be.

Misdirection: How Misaligned Incentives, Corporate Greed and Irresponsibility Caused a Blind Spot on Your P&L by Michael M. Adams

In this book I am casting a compelling vision of the future, a new opportunity of sorts, as opposed to showing you incremental improvements on what you already do today. This book will give you the insight on what corrupts your health plan, why all the players in this game are incentivized when you pay more and why you have been intentionally kept in the dark.

I not only reveal all the hidden agendas, but I detail actionable insight on what you can do to correct it. After reading this book, you will realize that your healthcare renewal increase is optional, what to look for when seeking out advise, and how to give your employees the best healthcare plan they have ever had.

Coach Robert Louis Sepulveda: The Early Days by Chris Edwards & Rene Sepulveda

About Coach Robert Louis Sepulveda: The Early Days by Chris Edwards & Rene Sepulveda:

“Coach Sepulveda is definitely on the top five of most admired men in my life.” -Scott Hutt Tiger Track 1972.

“Everything I do in track and field as a coach; from organization to training of athletes, I learned from my years with Coach Bob Sepulveda.” -Dale Lindley, Coach Chaparral Junior High

“I can think of no better word to describe Coach Sepulveda’s character than Mana. In the New Zealand Maori culture one who has Mana carries with them a great deal of honor, presence, or prestige. This is Coach Sepulveda hugely respected and able to bring the best out of his athletes.” -Coach Lorne Singer (“Kiwi”), Tiger Track 1994

Book 1 Available Now covers 1916 to 1976, Book 2 available August 1st covers 1977 to 1996. Book 3 to be released soon is the story of Coach Marilyn Sepulveda and the state champions of 1985.

This book series, beginning with book 1, is an Alamogordo Tiger Tale of the Historical Crossroads of Football, Track & Field & Cross Country In Building New Mexico Pride. Co-written by authors; Chris Edwards & Rene Sepulveda, the track and field book series begins with the Alamogordo, New Mexico athletic program in 1916 and progresses through today. The focus is on the Track and Field and its paths that crossed into interscholastic football and cross country. The book is a comprehensive history that tells the stories of the many personalities from 1916 to 1996 that influenced New Mexico interscholastic sports in Track and Field, Cross Country, High School Football and beyond. Coach Bob Sepulveda had the longest consecutive State Track & Field Winning streak in the 90s of any New Mexico Coach. The book highlights the records and the stories of hundreds of athletes.

The book series takes on the tough issues of the launch of national high school interscholastic sports standards, integration in the 50’s and 60’s, Title IX implementation and girls interscholastic championships, the politics around high school football and more. The book series contains the records of 100s of high school athletes, rich in dialog and interviews with athletes, coaches and community members. It tracks the successes and failures of some great athletes & coaches. The central characters in the book are Coach Bob and Marilyn Sepulveda paired with a variety of characters that played a role in the program success of the Alamogordo New Mexico Track and Field, Cross Country & Football programs. While the story is focused on a small town in New Mexico; it is national in scope; as many associated coaches and athletes had a national or international influence in athletics, politics and world events with the common theme of all being touched by the Alamogordo Track & Field, Cross Country or Football programs, Coach Bob Sepulveda and his legacy.

Stories include interviews and first hand accounts of athletes and coaches some of which went on to the NFL, Olympic Trials, professional or political successes. No book would be complete without some tearful stories with tragic endings but overall this book will educate, inspire and remind each of us of the good within each of us. Coach Bob Sepulveda, the central figure spent his entire adult life (30 years at Alamogordo High School)- imparting qualities in athletics that are supposed to carry over into life: teamwork, dedication, punctuality, leadership, sacrifice and poise.

He’s certainly not alone, but his character, integrity and influence, on so many people, goes well beyond the geographic bounds of Alamogordo or New Mexico. His story is one of hope and inspiration as is the story of his many athletes.

“Coach Bob Sepulveda is just a good, hard-working coach and a good responsible person who cared about the kids in his charge. That for anyone who’s paying attention, is all the message that’s necessary”, per a Commentary by Rich Wright Assistant Sports Editor, The Albuquerque Journal.

Mercedes Sosa – The Voice of Hope by Anette Christensen

About Mercedes Sosa – The Voice of Hope by Anette Christensen:

Persecuted, banned, and exiled, the legendary Argentine folk singer, Mercedes Sosa, made South America’s dictators tremble in the 1970s. Nicknamed, “The Voice of the Voiceless”, Sosa became an icon of democracy and a much-loved mother of Latin America.

Mercedes Sosa – The Voice of Hope: My Life-transforming Encounter, is both biography and personal memoir. The first part chronicles the spiritual, political and artistic journey of Mercedes Sosa, one of the greatest contemporary artistic revolutionaries in Latin America and offers a psychological profile that reveals the secret behind Sosa’s enormous impact, which shows how her upbringing, political circumstances and personal tragedies formed her life and her career.

In the second half of the book, the author explores, in memoir fashion, her own life, and how her discovery of Sosa’s music and life became a catalyst for change and growth in her own.

Sosa’s extraordinary example, coupled with Christensen’s inspiring discoveries will enable the reader to use life’s challenges as a stepping stone for growth. This narrative calls out for the best in all of us—for authenticity, empathy, and compassion.

If you like courageous women and untold stories of heroism, solidarity and compassion, then you’ll love this powerful biography. It will touch the fibers of your soul.

“In this work, you will find a new and touching perspective on our beloved Mercedes. It is a heartfelt and affectionate tribute honoring the life of my mother.” -Fabián Matus, son of Mercedes Sosa and president of The Mercedes Sosa Foundation.

“There are times when the author’s voice and creativity blends with the material, which is often the case in good historical writing. It’s impossible for a biographer to know for sure what a subject is thinking, for example, but in using good research together with a well-honed instinct and empathy, delivering those thoughts to the reader can be a transcendent as well as informative experience. Christensen manages this beautifully.” Charles Musser, film historian, documentary maker, author and professor of Film and Media Studies

“The author’s writing style is easing and engaging. There were times it was hard to put the book down. An excellent and inspiration account of a historical period and a personal triumphant journey. Mercedes Sosa – The voice of Hope is a history lesson, a touching tribute, and a triumphant memoir all in one” Janice S. Ellis, author of From Liberty to Magnolia

“It’s a brave offering from Christensen, authentic and at times vulnerable in the way she shares her journey. Christensen displays psychological insights into the artist’s character and actions, and then skillfully frames the understanding of her own healing journey through principles from interpersonal neurobiology and mindfulness. -Yes, relationships and connection have the power to heal. -Yes, music, art and mindfulness can help rewire the brain. This message gets passed on to me in an inspiring way as I read about both these women.”

The Obscured Journey by Jerald Albritton

About Featured Book: The Obscured Journey by Jerald Albritton

The human condition is one riddled with complexities about the path we yearn for, who we are and what we believe.
We have become so dogmatic in our own beliefs that when they don’t come to fruition or we find them to be a hoax; our journey can come crashing down with doubt, fear, and uncertainty. Many individuals think they know why they are doing what they do, where they will end up, or who they wish to be in 3 to 7 years until a catastrophic event called life occurs. We dream to live adventurously but the fear of change confines us to only existing, which is to survive in the fog of society thus creating a disoriented/invisible sensation. The unknown causes our thoughts to imprison us as we ponder if we will ever be content or if we will forever be in debt paying bills. We wonder about our next occupation or what comes after retirement. We worry about things we can’t control then suffer from anxiety. Our breath is limited by our determination and imagination yet those things we can take hold of.
We exclaim at times to be lost, but to be lost is to know where X marks the spot yet unclear on how to get there. So the question is:
What’s the Journey toward X?
This book is meant to help you not only choose your path, but how to choose it wisely and magnanimously.

The Secret of Plants in the Environment

About The Secret of Plants in the Environment:

Plants are sessile organisms that are unable to move but face the challenge of ever-changing or adverse environments. The study of the development of environmental changes in tolerant plants is fundamental for the maintenance and streamlining of high crop yields and plant adaptation in natural environments. The identification of genes that lead to changes or stress tolerance is urgently needed for the growth and development of plants in their natural environment. The Secret of Plants in the ENVIRONMENT addresses environmental concerns such as the different types of stress situations and plant adaptation to changing environments, including the positive and negative effects of stress on the growth of crops, the beginning stages of plant life cycles, and plant output. This book seeks to discuss the impact of environmental changes or stress on plant life, environmental stress physiology, and adaptation mechanisms. It highlights the impact of environmental stresses on plants and crops under changing environments and gives a comprehensive overview of how plants respond to such environments. In addition, it serves as a helpful guide to the students and to all professionals engaged in teaching and research on environmental-related subjects. It dwells on some important aspects of environmental change or stress as the main issue affecting the survival of plants at the early stages of their life cycle. Hence, the author hopes that both early-career scientists and research scholars interested in pursuing environmental science to an advanced stage would also benefit from the important information discussed in this book.

The Growth Quotient by Subbarao Mukkavilli

About Featured Book: The Growth Quotient by Subbarao Mukkavilli

We often think that we need Intelligence Quotient and Emotional Quotient to be successful. These two quotients were helpful until the last decade. But it is no longer the case in this era of the fourth industrial revolution.

The book explains the need to develop a strong Growth Quotient in this era of corona and age of robots. The growth quotient consists of four underlying quotients that a modern leader requires to progress the career:

1. Consciousness quotient (all about self)
2. Environmental quotient (ecosystem consisting of people around us, environment, market, trends, opportunities, threats and so on)
3. Digital quotient
4. Number quotient

To develop these four quotients, we need to adopt a growth mindset. We need to give up a few traits/habits and pick up some new characteristics.

We need to acquire:

1. Strong Ambition,
2. Right Belief system
3. Complete Clarity
4. Great Discipline

ABCDs, in short.

We need to drop:

1. Expectations
2. Fear factor
3. Greed
4. Hatred

EFGH, in short.

This book teaches how to accomplish all these. This book also introduces several time-tested and easy to implement methods and frameworks to

1. Build relations
2. Improve communication and presentation senses
3. Increase trust
4. Improve overall effectiveness

This book helps the readers to become leaders.
