What are the advantages of disadvantages?
Have you ever heard the phrase, ""If I didn't have bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all""? Out of Bad Comes Good-The Advantages of Disadvantages asks the question: What's luck go to do with it? Making your own good luck is as straightforward as giving up on the myth of striking it rich and replacing it with an easy to implement method of believing in yourself. ""The Happiness Formula"" is the antidote to why we work hard, kill ourselves trying to make money, achieve success and sometimes accrue power but rarely achieve happiness. We've got it backwards. This study of successful people who have overcome the disadvantages that life in our fast times can bring is a formula for turning bad into good that can be put into action immediately. See how happy and successful people turn heartbreak into their next break. You will never fear life's disadvantages again-in fact, you'll relish them. Put them to work for you and be happier and more successful than ever.

Ralph de la Vega, President and CEO of AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets, shares the lessons learned in business and in life along the journey from Cuba to Corporate America.
Ralph de la Vega arrived in the United States from Cuba in 1962. He was alone. He was scared. He was 10. Separated from his parents by Cuban authorities just moments before they were to board a plane to Miami, de la Vega was baptized early--and abruptly--in the waters of adversity. It would be four long years before his mother, father, and sister gained legal passage to America. But while the boy would never have chosen such circumstance, it's the man who can look back and say he would not have changed it.
In Obstacles Welcome, de la Vega recounts his journey as a young Cuban immigrant to president and CEO of AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets, a subsidiary of AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T). A frontliner in the converging worlds of technology and communications, de la Vega takes readers behind the scenes of the Internet revolution, shares insights from the nation's top technology companies, and chronicles the incredible obstacles intrinsic to successfully merging the largest wireless operations in U.S. history--those of Cingular Wireless and AT&T Wireless.
Obstacles Welcome is an innovation manifesto for those committed to bigger thinking and greater results both professionally and personally. He clearly defines how to:
* Create a detailed action plan to boost success
* Identify and take calculated risks without fear
* Create a values-centric, decisive leadership style
* Transform vision into measurable results
* Recognize opportunities and overcome obstacles
* Communicate well and build alignment
* Unlearn thinking that hinders innovation
* Dream big and throw off mental limits once and for all
Opening a powerful cache of business strategy and in-the-trenches wisdom, de la Vega illustrates that within each obstacle we encounter, there's an opportunity that carries the potential to transform our thinking, our organizations, our communities, and our world.

Dating to as early as 300 BC, stoicism is making a comeback and setting itself apart as a preferred philosophy for dealing with today's unique problems/challenges.
There is a reason why some of the most successful people in the world like Tim Ferriss, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Thomas Kaplan, Charlie Munger, and Tim Ferriss swear by the philosophy. It must be offering something unique and attractive for such people to make it a part of their lives. Tim Ferriss even went ahead to refer to it as "a simple and immensely practical set of rules for better results with less effort."
If you want to achieve massive success, just like the names I mentioned above, perhaps you may want to consider adopting stoicism, to shape your thinking so that you could probably have similar sentiments as Tim Ferriss as mentioned above.

This book takes a practical, easy to follow approach to help you to understand stoicism inside out so that you can start applying it in your life to realize the benefits that Tim Ferriss, Warren Buffet, Charlie Munger, Thomas Kaplan, Bill Gates and many others get from following stoicism.

Parents of children with disabilities often situate their activism as a means of improving the world for their child. However, some disabled activists perceive parental activism as working against the independence and dignity of people with disabilities. This thorny relationship is at the heart of the groundbreaking Allies and Obstacles.
The authors chronicle parents’ path-breaking advocacy in arenas such as the right to education and to liberty via deinstitutionalization as well as how they engaged in legal and political advocacy. Allies and Obstacles provides a macro analysis of parent activism using a social movement perspective to reveal and analyze the complex—and often tense—relationship of parents to disability rights organizations and activism.
The authors look at organizational and individual narratives using four case studies that focus on intellectual disability, psychiatric diagnoses, autism, and a broad range of physical disabilities including cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy. These cases explore the specific ways in which activism developed among parents and people with disabilities, as well as the points of alliance and the key points of contestation. Ultimately, Allies and Obstacles develops new insights into disability activism, policy, and the family.

Описание: Over the past three decades, disability theatre artists have claimed greater space on Canadian and world stages. While disabled figures and themes are theatre mainstays, productions tend to employ disability figuratively rather than engage with actual disability experience. In reaction, disability theatre pursues an activist perspective that dismantles stereotypes, challenges stigma, and re-imagines disability as a valued human condition. Stage Turns documents the development and innovations of disability theatre in Canada, the aesthetic choices and challenges of the movement, and the multiple spatial scales at which disability theatre operates, from the local to the increasingly global. Kirsty Johnston provides histories of Canada`s leading disability theatre companies, emphasizing the early importance of local efforts in the absence of national coordination. Close readings of individual productions demonstrate how aesthetic choices matter and can be a source of solidarity or debate between different companies and artists. This comparative approach allows for a nuanced consideration of disability theatre`s breadth and internal differences. Stage Turns highlights the diversity of disability theatre, underlining how this is critical to understanding the challenge it poses to mainstream aesthetics and to fulfilling its own artistic goals.
