Promptings
by Kody Bateman (2010)
About this book
Everyone can recall an instance where they experienced a prompting the strong need to act but didn't. Kody Bateman is no exception except that he took an ignored prompting and turned it into a company and a philosophy for a successful life. Years ago, Kody ignored a prompting to say goodbye to his older brother when moving across the country. Two months later, Kody received the tragic news that his brother had been killed. Kody promised from that day forward to act on his promptings and help others to do the same. The experience led Kody on a twenty-year journey to help himself and others act on their promptings, and his SendOutCards business lets people do just that by sending greeting cards and gifts to family and friends, building relationships and forging strong bonds. But also on his journey, Kody discovered a personal-development philosophy that leads to personal and professional fulfillment. A master storyteller, Kody uses stories to illustrate the significance of acting on your feelings the inner promptings, that inner voice that describes your uniqueness and significance, and the outer promptings, the impulses to reach out in kindness to those around you. Promptings guide you to your genius within, helping you make the difference only you can make in the world.

Xbox revisited
Robbie Bach
"Xbox Revisited is a wake-up call, a challenge to every citizen to become a 'civic engineer' addressing the challenges we face in our communities and across our country. Using the 3P Framework of Purpose, Principles, and Priorities developed by the Xbox team, Microsoft's former Chief Xbox Officer, Robbie Bach, takes business, non-profit, and community-engaged readers on the Xbox journey--a triumphant saga from garage-shop beginnings to business success. Bach describes the process used to revitalize a beleaguered business in dire straits and applies it to civic engineering and a country adrift in a sea of challenges. Building off of lessons learned from two challenging days in 2001--the first when the original Xbox failed to turn on at its unveiling and the second on 9/11 as the terrorist attacks played out before our eyes--Xbox Revisited provides a simple yet effective framework to address even the most complex problems we face in our personal, professional, and civic lives."-- Author's web site.
