Life Lessons from the Little Red Wagon - Ronald E. Simmons
Who would have thought that one of the most popular childhood toys held so many of life s answers. In The Little Red Wagon, prolific business leader and public servant Ron Simmons invites you to leave ordinary behind and glide into the richly meaningful life you were intended to live. From his humble beginnings in the rural South to the heights of influence as an entrepreneur, finance executive, and three-term member of the Texas House of Representatives, Simmons mines the depths of his triumphs and travails to provide a wealth of applicable insights. Whether you re out front holding the wagon s handle, shifting the direction from inside, riding along as cargo, or pushing from the rear, the place you occupy will set your course toward more of the same or to bold adventure. Simmons has learned that it isn t a lack of talent or ability that often holds us back. It s the lure of the safe, comfortable path that threatens to keep us stuck in a rut of fear and negativity, speeding along with no clear destination, or passively catching a ride instead of taking initiative and action. Filled with winsome stories and hard-won lessons, The Little Red Wagonwill inspire you to: Escape a drifting, copy-and-paste life and embark on real adventure.; Take the next uncomfortable step on your journey from settling to soaring.; Recognize when to pivot to positions that move your wagon forward.; Dream big and pursue your dreams with passion, purpose, and a plan.. The Little Red Wagon is certain to take you places that will change your outlook and your life.

Now what?Most masked Autistics have spent a lifetime being told how to perform neurotypically: how to behave, how to carry themselves, what to feel, and how to live. With his previous book, Unmasking Autism, Dr. Devon Price has given them the space and confidence to unmask and embrace their neurodiversity. But no matter where you are in the unmasking process, there is still work to be done. Because Autistic people often fear change, struggle to process unfamiliar situations, and have trauma histories that have conditioned them to avoid conflict, they don t always know how to transform their inner revelations into outer realities. They need more than internal healing - they need practical tools to translate acceptance into assertiveness and interpersonal effectiveness.In this book, Devon Price helps you advocate for your needs and invent new ways of living, loving and being that work for you, using five key skills:· Acceptance of change, loss, and uncertainty· Engagement in productive conflict, discussion, and disagreement· Transgression of unfair rules, demands, and social expectations· Tolerance of distress, disagreement, or being disliked· Creation of new accommodations, relationship structures, and new ways of livingWith powerful insights and transformative resources, Unmasking for Life is a practical guide to living a fully realised Autistic life.***PRAISE FOR UNMASKING AUTISM: Outstanding. -Fern Brady, author of Strong Female Character Reading this felt like being at home - I didn t realise how much I masked. What an incredible book that I know will be re-read many times over. -Dr Camilla Pang, author of Explaining Humans A powerful argument for radical self-acceptance applicable to all readers. - Los Angeles Times

Life Skills for Puppies - Daniel Mills, Peter Baumber, Helen Zulch
Every year millions of puppies enter homes, carrying their new family’s expectation of a wonderful relationship. Sadly, many are re-homed or lose their lives as the result of behaviours which their owners find difficult to live with. Helping a puppy to grow into a resilient dog, capable of coping with the challenges of daily living, whilst retaining a good quality of life and exhibiting behaviours acceptable within society, is not an easy task.Life Skills for Puppies aims to simplify puppy education by presenting the skills that are required to achieve these goals within the context of everyday life. By enabling owners to incorporate teaching into each interaction they enjoy with their puppy, it not only becomes easier for them, but also enables the puppy to practice appropriate behaviour choices within day-to-day situations. By teaching skills such as self-control, respect for rules, and clear communication, owners can spend less time directing their dog, and more time enjoying their relationship with him, as he takes more control for his own good behaviour. Beautiful, specially-taken photographs illustrate the points made, and each chapter includes a worksheet to help owners chart their puppy s progress.

The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas - Gertrude Stein
A fascinating insight into the vibrant culture of Modernism, and the rich artistic world of Paris s Left Bank, Gertrude Stein s The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas includes an introduction by Thomas Fensch in Penguin Modern Classics.For Gertrude Stein and her wife Alice B. Toklas, life in Paris was based upon the rue de Fleurus and the Saturday evenings and it was like a kaleidoscope slowly turning . Picasso was there with his high whinnying Spanish giggle , as were Cezanne and Matisse, Hemingway and Fitzgerald. As Toklas put it - The geniuses came and talked to Gertrude Stein and the wives sat with me . A light-hearted entertainment, this is in fact Gertrude Stein s own autobiography and a roll-call of all the extraordinary painters and writers she met between 1903 and 1932. Audacious, sardonic and characteristically self-confident, this is a definitive account by American in Paris.Gertrude Stein (1874-1946), a writer of experimental prose, is one of the original American Modernists. Born in Pennsylvania, she lived most of her life in Paris with her partner, Alice B. Toklas. Experimental books like Three Lives (1909), Tender Buttons (1914), and The Making of Americans (1925) established her reputation as an avant-garde stylist, and The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas made her an international celebrity. As an experimental writer she has been an inspiration to countless novelists and poets in our century, from Ernest Hemingway and Edith Sitwell in her own time to Jack Kerouac and Robert Duncan in ours.If you enjoyed The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, you might like Virginia Woolf s Orlando, also available in Penguin Modern Classics. Buttonholes the reader with its informality, its unhurried rhythms, deadpan humour and acerbic remarks Frances Spalding, Sunday Times
