Hard Choices - Hillary Rodham Clinton

HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON''S INSIDE ACCOUNT OF THE CRISES, CHOICES AND CHALLENGES SHE FACED DURING HER FOUR YEARS AS AMERICA''S 67THSECRETARY OF STATE, AND HOW THOSE EXPERIENCES DRIVE HER VIEW OF THE FUTURE, INCLUDING A NEW EPILOGUE. ''All of us face hard choices in our lives,'' Hillary Rodham Clinton writes at the start of this personal chronicle of years at the centre of world events. ''Life is about making such choices. Our choices and how we handle them shape the people we become.'' In the aftermath of her 2008 presidential run, she expected to return to representing New York in the Unites States Senate. To her surprise, her formal rival for the Democratic Party nomination, newly elected President Barack Obama, asked her to serve in his administration as Secretary of State. This memoir is the story of the four extraordinary and historic years that followed, and the hard choices that she and her colleagues confronted. Secretary Clinton and President Obama had to decide how to repair fractured alliances, wind down two wars and address a global financial crisis. They faced a rising competitor in China, growing threats from Iran and North Korea, and revolutions across the Middle East. Along the way, they grappled with some of the toughest dilemmas of US foreign policy, especially the decision to send Americans into harm''s way, from Afghanistan to Libya to the hunt for Osama bin Laden. By the end of her tenure, Secretary Clinton had visited 112 countries, travelled nearly one million miles and gained a truly global perspective on many of the major trends reshaping the landscape of the twenty-first century, from economic inequality to climate change to revolutions in energy, communications and health. Drawing on conversations with numerous leaders and experts, Secretary Clinton offers her views on what it will take for the United States to compete and thrive in an interdependent world. She makes a passionate case for human rights and the full participation in society of girls, youth and LGBT people. An astute eyewitness to decades of social change, she distinguishes the trendlines from the headlines and describes the progress occurring throughout the world, day after day. Secretary Clinton''s descriptions of diplomatic conversations at the highest levels offer readers a masterclass in international relations, as does her analysis of how we can best use ''smart power'' to deliver security and prosperity in a rapidly changing world - one in which America remains the indispensable nation.

The Book of Gutsy Women - Hillary Rodham Clinton, Chelsea Clinton

Now an eight-part docuseries on Apple TV+ featuring Kim Kardashian, Amy Schumer, Goldie Hawn, Kate Hudson, Wanda Sykes, Megan Thee Stallion and more She couldn’t have been more than seven or eight years old. “Go ahead, ask your question,” her father urged, nudging her forward. She smiled shyly and said, “You’re my hero. Who’s yours?” Many people – especially girls – have asked us that same question over the years. It’s one of our favourite topics. HILLARY: Growing up, I knew hardly any women who worked outside the home. So I looked to my mother, my teachers, and the pages of Life magazine for inspiration. After learning that Amelia Earhart kept a scrapbook with newspaper articles about successful women in male-dominated jobs, I started a scrapbook of my own. Long after I stopped clipping articles, I continued to seek out stories of women who seemed to be redefining what was possible. CHELSEA: This book is the continuation of a conversation the two of us have been having since I was little. For me, too, my mom was a hero; so were my grandmothers. My early teachers were also women. But I grew up in a world very different from theirs. My pediatrician was a woman, and so was the first mayor of Little Rock who I remember from my childhood. Most of my close friends’ moms worked outside the home as nurses, doctors, teachers, professors, and in business. And women were going into space and breaking records here on Earth. Ensuring the rights and opportunities of women and girls remains a big piece of the unfinished business of the twenty-first century. While there’s a lot of work to do, we know that throughout history and around the globe women have overcome the toughest resistance imaginable to win victories that have made progress possible for all of us. That is the achievement of each of the women in this book. So how did they do it? The answers are as unique as the women themselves. Civil rights activist Dorothy Height, LGBTQ trailblazer Edie Windsor, and swimmer Diana Nyad kept pushing forward, no matter what. Writers like Rachel Carson and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie named something no one had dared talk about before. Historian Mary Beard used wit to open doors that were once closed, and Wangari Maathai, who sparked a movement to plant trees, understood the power of role modeling. Harriet Tubman and Malala Yousafzai looked fear in the face and persevered. Nearly every single one of these women was fiercely optimistic – they had faith that their actions could make a difference. And they were right. To us, they are all gutsy women – leaders with the courage to stand up to the status quo, ask hard questions, and get the job done. So in the moments when the long haul seems awfully long, we hope you will draw strength from these stories. We do. Because if history shows one thing, it’s that the world needs gutsy women.

Citizen - President Bill Clinton

A powerful, candid, and richly detailed memoir from an American icon, revealing what life looks like after the presidency: triumphs, tribulations, and all. On 20th January 2001, after nearly thirty years in politics — eight of them as President of the United States — Bill Clinton was suddenly a private citizen. Only fifty-four years old, full of energy and ideas, he wanted to make meaningful use of his skills, his relationships with world leaders, and all he’d learned in a lifetime of politics, but how? Just days after leaving the White House, the call came to aid victims of a devastating earthquake in India, and Clinton hit the ground running.Over the next two decades, he would create an enduring legacy of public service and advocacy work, from Indonesia to Louisiana, Northern Ireland to South Africa, and in the process reimagine philanthropy and redefine the impact a former president could have on the world. Citizen is Clinton’s front-row, first-person chronicle of his post-presidential years and the most significant events of the twenty-first century, including 9/11 and the runup to the Iraq War, the Haiti earthquake, the Great Recession, COVID-19, the January 6th insurrection, and the enduring culture wars of our times. Yet Citizen is more than a presidential memoir.These pages capture Clinton in a rare and unforgettable light: not only as celebrated former president and foundation leader, but also as a father, grandfather, and husband. He shares his support for Hillary Clinton during her tenure as senator, secretary of state, and presidential candidate, and openly details the frustration and pain of the 2016 election. With clarity and compassion, President Clinton also weighs in on the unprecedented challenges brought on by a global pandemic, ongoing inequality, a steadily warming planet, and authoritarian forces dedicated to weakening democracy.In this landmark publication, the highly anticipated follow-up to the best-selling My Life, Clinton pens a clear-sighted account of American democracy on a global stage, offering a frank reflection on the past and, with it, a fearless embrace of our future. Citizen is a testament to one man’s unwavering commitment to family and nation, a self-portrait of equal parts eloquence, insight, and candor.

Horsemanship podle metody Clintona Andersona - Vybudování respektu a kontroly pro anglické i westernové jezdce - Anderson Clinton

KDYŽ CLINTON ANDERSON POPRVÉ NAPSAL Downunder Horsemanship: Vybudování respektu a kontroly pro anglické i westernové jezdce, byl nadějným lektorem a jeho cílem bylo vytvořit praktického tréninkového průvodce pro obyčejné jezdce, aby se naučili lépe komunikovat se svými koňmi, bez ohledu na jezdecký styl, věk nebo schopnosti. O deset let později už je Clinton mezinárodně uznávaný lektor a jeho kniha došla do stanoveného cíle, protože pomohla tisícům majitelů koní k tomu, aby se naučili být lepšími vůdci a užívali si své koně naplno. Od založení metody Downunder Horsemanship bylo mým posláním povzbuzovat sny koňáků tím, že jim poskytnu rozumné, systematické instrukce a inspirace, díky kterým nikdy nepřestanou zlepšovat své znalosti, říká Clinton. Tato kniha pomáhá dojít k tomuto cíli, a já věřím, že velká část jejího úspěchu je díky jezdcům a koním, o kterých píše. Představují bod, kde každý z nás začíná svoji jezdeckou cestu, frustrovaný a ne zcela jistý v tom, kde by měl najít znalosti, které potřebuje. Obě dvě jezdkyně z této knihy, jedna zástupkyně anglického stylu a druhé westernového, mají problémy a prožívají nezdary, které všichni známe. Clinton ví, že jedna z nejvíce frustrujících situací pro každého, kdo pracuje s koněm, je nevědět, co udělat v případě, že věci nepůjdou podle plánu. Hodně praktických tréninkových knih a videí představuje koně, kteří už jsou dobře trénovaní. Tyto příklady je těžké následovat a je obtížné se s nimi ztotožnit, když se doma pokoušíte o novu techniku a váš vlastní kůň jí nerozumí někdy nepracuje přesně tak, jak by měl, jindy to nefunguje vůbec. To je důvod, proč Clinton představuje skutečné problémy a skutečná řešení. Díky sekvenčním fotografiím a osobním poznámkách obou jezdkyň získáte pohled z první ruky, jaké byly jejich potíže, průlomy, výzvy i úspěchy. Pokud se toužíte stát lepším jezdcem a chcete se naučit, jak efektivně komunikovat se svým koněm, tato kniha bude vaším hodnotným zdrojem informací, ke kterému se budete moct znovu a znovu vracet. - Přestaňte si vymýšlet omluvy, proč vás kůň neposlouchá. - Naučte svého koně používat přemýšlející ne instinktivní část mozku. - Buďte velmi zřetelní černobílí v tom, jaké chování je akceptovatelné a jaké ne. - Rozšiřte komfortní zónu svého koně. - Trénujte tím, že koni správné věci usnadníte a špatné věci znesnadníte. - Váš kůň chce šéfa: naučte se zaujmout vůdčí pozici.

Giving - President Bill Clinton

Here, from Bill Clinton, is a call to action. Giving is an inspiring look at how each of us can change the world. First, it reveals the extraordinary and innovative efforts now being made by companies and organizations-and by individuals-to solve problems and save lives both ''down the street and around the world''. Then it urges us to seek out what each of us, ''regardless of income, available time, age, and skills'', can do to help, to give people a chance to live out their dreams.Bill Clinton shares his own experiences and those of other givers, representing a global flood tide of nongovernmental, nonprofit activity. These remarkable stories demonstrate that gifts of time, skills, things, and ideas are as important and effective as contributions of money. From Bill and Melinda Gates to a six-year-old California girl named McKenzie Steiner, who organized and supervised drives to clean up the beach in her community, Clinton introduces us to both well-known and unknown heroes of giving. Clinton writes about men and women who traded in their corporate careers, and the fulfillment they now experience through giving. He writes about energy-efficient practices, about progressive companies going green, about promoting fair wages and decent working conditions around the world. He shows us how one of the most important ways of giving can be an effort to change, improve, or protect a government policy. He outlines what we as individuals can do, the steps we can take, how much we should consider giving, and why our giving is so important.Bill Clinton''s own actions in his post-presidential years have had an enormous impact on the lives of millions. Through his foundation and his work in the aftermath of the Asian tsunami and Hurricane Katrina, he has become an international spokesperson and model for the power of giving.

The Double Life of Bob Dylan Volume 2: 1966-2021 - Clinton Heylin

In 2016 it was announced that Bob Dylan had sold his personal archive to the George Kaiser Foundation in Tulsa, Oklahoma, reportedly for $22 million. As the boxes started to arrive, the Foundation asked Clinton Heylin - author of the acclaimed Bob Dylan: Behind the Shades and ''perhaps the world''s authority on all things Dylan'' (Rolling Stone) - to assess the material they had been given. What he found in Tulsa - as well as what he gleaned from other papers he had recently been given access to by Sony and the Dylan office - so changed his understanding of the artist, especially of his creative process, that he became convinced that a whole new biography was needed. It turns out that much of what previous biographers - Dylan himself included - have said is wrong; often as not, a case of, Print the Legend.This is the second instalment of the definitive biography (following A Restless Hungry Feeling) of one contemporary culture''s most iconic and mysterious figures - musical revolutionary, Nobel Prize-winner, chart-topping recording artist.Clinton Heylin''s meticulously researched, all-encompassing and consistently revelatory account of these fascinating early years is the closest we will ever get to a definitive life of an artist who has been the lodestar of popular culture for six decades.

McBride invites us to reclaim the wisdom of the body and to experience the wholeness that has been there all along, weaving together ● illuminating research● practices to deepen your relationship with your bodily self● end-of-chapter prompts and questions● real stories from her work as a therapist● personal narratives of healing from a life-threatening eating disorder, a near-fatal car accident, and chronic painCome home to your body and embrace a more compassionate, healthy, and holistic perspective on embodied life.
