2013., Adult, Little, Brown Call No: 155.2 G542d Edition: 1st ed. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Three thousand years ago on a battlefield in ancient Palestine, a shepherd boy felled a mighty warrior with nothing more than a stone and a sling, and ever since then the names of David and Goliath have stood for battles between underdogs and giants. David's victory was improbable and miraculous. He shouldn't have won. Or should he have? In David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwell challenges how we think about obstacles and disadvantages, offering a new interpretation of what it means to be discriminated against, or cope with a disability, or lose a parent, or attend a mediocre school, or suffer from any number of other apparent setbacks. In the tradition of Gladwell's previous bestsellers--The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers and What the Dog Saw--David and Goliath draws upon history, psychology, and powerful storytelling to reshape the way we think of the world around us"--Provided by publisher.

-- Me-quilibrium2015., Adult, Harmony Books Call No: 158.1 B887m Edition: First edition. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "You can't annihilate stress. But you can learn to manage it peacefully--and you don't need to radically change your life to do so. The powerful author team who crafted this book has the research to prove it--with more than a half dozen studies to date showing the program's efficacy. Marrying the whole-person, systemic approach of integrative medicine with the science of resilience and the tenets of positive psychology, the authors created a method that attacks stress on every level. This three-pronged approach gets at its roots, so stress can't flourish, but you can. In just 14 days, the authors teach you a new way to respond and, in turn, a new way to live."--From publisher.

2017., Adult, Esplanade Books, published by Véhicule Press Call No: QWF BLK Fic Bou Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Twelve-year-old Souleye has just immigrated to Montreal from Senegal with his family. He wants to become "from here" as quickly as possible, but Canada and Senegal prove to be two completely different worlds, and their new lives don't unfold as planned. Beyond the daily grind of finding an apartment, schools, and jobs, young Souleye (whose only friend renames him "Soleil" - Sun) has to contend with what it means to be black in a predominantly white society, a foreigner among the locals. And that's all before his father's mind begins to fall apart... Poignantly translated from the French by Claire Holden Rothman, David Bouchet's Sun of a Distant Land is by turns charming and tragic, an epic contemporary vision of what it means to be uprooted, and what it takes to plant roots in a new land."--From publisher.
