This is the poignant life-and-death story of Johnny Stack, whose young and vibrant life ended by suicide after his descent into addiction to high-potency marijuana and cannabis-induced psychosis. You'll laugh and cry with his mother, Laura Stack, as she retells the story of Johnny's joyful childhood and then takes you through the unthinkable tragedy of his loss. It's every parent's nightmare. But this book is much more than Johnny's story. Today Laura, who is a nationally recognized speaker and best-selling author, leads a national effort of parents, impacted family members, healthcare professionals, coalitions, teachers, and youth who are concerned about the harmful effects of marijuana on our children, teenagers, and emerging adults. This book is a clarion call for parents across America to educate themselves about the risks of today's high-THC marijuana products and to better understand the potentially devastating effects on youth mental health. Laura's real-life story is backed by recent scientific-based research on how today's potent THC products lead to mental illnesses in adolescents, such as anxiety, depression, paranoia, psychosis, and sadly, suicidal ideation. This book is her vision to dramatically decrease adolescent marijuana usage, the false perception of safety, mental illness, and suicide, to allow our youth to live productive, happy lives.
No more "checking for feet." This illuminating guide gets people to tell the truth at the meeting--not in the bathroom afterwards. Almost everybody lies. In one recent survey, 93% of people admitted to lying regularly at work! Why? Because it's safer than telling the truth. Sadly, organizations cannot succeed in this poisonous world of half-truths, strategic omissions, and doctored information. A Safe Place for Dangerous Truths shows how the formal process of "dialogue" can create a safe place to tell the truth. In a lively discussion, author Annette Simmons shows managers how to use this technique to: encourage truth-telling by reducing fear prompting self-examination, and opening minds build trust where suspicion and cynicism held sway inspire individuals to think and learn as a group help groups talk through tough issues and move to collaborative action To function optimally, businesses must create an environment where people feel free to tell the truth, no matter how disturbing. Only then can organizations unleash the responsiveness, creativity, and enthusiasm necessary to achieve their goals.
Inside, I was dying-empty, dark, alone. Keeping it all together was exhausting and the 'perfect' mask I wore was beginning to slip. Pretending to have it all together wasn't working anymore as the lies I had to tell weighed heavier each day. I'd done everything right my whole life and I still ended up divorced, childless, and alone. All I had left was my job. Maybe it was time to be a little bad? Seductive choices pulled me over into darkness and I no longer had to pretend. The escape was addictive as recklessness marred my skin as desperate decisions led me into the arms of unknown danger. The hardest part was knowing whether they would save me, or destroy me. Because their destruction was beginning to taste like salvation and I didn't know if I could walk away. After all, the sweetest lie was the one you told yourself, especially when the truth was the most dangerous confession of all. *Author's note: This is a why choose novel, meaning the main female character doesn't have to choose between love interests.

" Abundant life can be yours. "But in order to live, you first have to die (Matthew 16: 25). The fact is, if you have nothing worth dying for, you have nothing worth living for. You may never have to make the ultimate sacrifice, but you "are "called to daily give up something of this earthly existence to pursue the amazing life Jesus promises to His followers. In "To Die For, "Ryan Dobson shatters common misconceptions about dying to self, spelling out the realities of the deadly spiritual battle each of us faces. He provides clear guidelines for making life-and-death choices daily and deals with how to overcome the emotional struggles that accompany both failure and success. The End of Life as You Know It... ...Is the Beginning of Life as You Need It Why do I feel so dead when God promised me life? You had such expectations. Such hopes. Such plans. But life isn't working out the way you thought it would. "Jesus" answers the void with abundant LIFE. But to get it, you have to "die"--die to self and the quick fixes of this world. Fact is, if you have nothing worth dying for, you have nothing really worth "living" for. In "To Die For," Ryan Dobson passionately demonstrates what it means to" die to self. "We may never face a physical death for our faith...but we're called to daily deny ourselves doses of this earthly existence. And to pursue the amazing LIFE Jesus promises. Don't settle for average. Get a LIFE... ...It's to die for. Story Behind the Book One of the main reasons I wrote this book is because I see people today as bored--we are bored with life. There's nothing that's truly worth dying for, which means there's nothing worth living foreither. I see people just filling their lives with diversions, running from one thing to the next. I want to give people the adventure that God has given me. I have truly found something in my life worth fighting for--and worth dying for. I am willing to fight and, if necessary, die for my faith in Christ. It has not made my life a downer--but has filled my life with adventure.
I'd once thought the only thing that mattered was the truth. But perhaps I'd been naive. Learning to navigate life with my eyes open, I'd found things weren't as they seemed. The good guy didn't always get the girl, the right thing wasn't always easy to spot, and the bad guy wasn't always the villain. Life was more about perception than truth. Maybe... that was the biggest lie of all. My mother and ex-husband hid behind their mansions and club memberships, making everyone believe they were better and had it all together. Deep down they were twisted and cruel, covering it up with pretty lies. The mask I'd worn for so long no longer protected me, the facade cracking as I began to emerge into my own person. Heartache, deceit, and treachery kept knocking at my door, but they had no place here. I could see through their betrayals and I was no longer alone to carry the pain. I used to think my biggest confession was having it all and losing it so epically, laying splattered on the floor in a million pieces. Yet, piece by piece, I was being put back together. Which led me to wonder if I'd ever been whole to begin with? When your whole life was a lie, did you ever know the truth?

The best organizations have the best talent. . . Financial incentives drive company performance. . . Firms must change or die. Popular axioms like these drive business decisions every day. Yet too much common management “wisdom” isn’t wise at all—but, instead, flawed knowledge based on “best practices” that are actually poor, incomplete, or outright obsolete. Worse, legions of managers use this dubious knowledge to make decisions that are hazardous to organizational health. Jeffrey Pfeffer and Robert I. Sutton show how companies can bolster performance and trump the competition through evidence-based management, an approach to decision-making and action that is driven by hard facts rather than half-truths or hype. This book guides managers in using this approach to dismantle six widely held—but ultimately flawed—management beliefs in core areas including leadership, strategy, change, talent, financial incentives, and work-life balance. The authors show managers how to find and apply the best practices for their companies, rather than blindly copy what seems to have worked elsewhere. This practical and candid book challenges leaders to commit to evidence-based management as a way of organizational life—and shows how to finally turn this common sense into common practice.
