KShs2,590.00 KShs2,190.00
Brief Summary The Confidence Code: The Science and Art of Self-Assurance – What Women Should Know Following the success of Lean In and Why Women Should Rule the World, the authors of the bestselling Womenomics provide an informative and practical guide to understanding the importance of confidence—and learning how to achieve it—for women of all ages and at all stages of their career. Working women today are better educated and better qualified than ever before. Yet men still predominate in the corporate world. In The Confidence Code, Claire Shipman and Katty Kay argue that the key reason is confidence. Combining cutting-edge research in genetics, gender, behavior, and cognition—with examples from their own lives and those of other successful women in politics, media, and business—Kay and Shipman go beyond admonishing women to "lean in." Instead, they offer the inspiration and practical advice women need to close the gap and achieve the careers they want and deserve.

Why Women Should Rule the World

KShs1,699.00 KShs1,615.00
Brief Summary What would happen if women ruled the world? Everything could change, according to former White House press secretary Dee Dee Myers. Politics would be more collegial. Businesses would be more productive. And communities would be healthier. Empowering women would make the world a better place—not because women are the same as men, but precisely because they are different. Blending memoir, social history, and a call to action, Dee Dee Myers challenges us to imagine a not-too-distant future in which increasing numbers of women reach the top ranks of politics, business, science, and academia. Reflecting on her own tenure in the Clinton administration and her work as a political analyst, media commentator, and former consultant to NBC's The West Wing, Myers assesses the crucial but long-ignored strengths that female leaders bring to the table. "Women tend to be better communicators, better listeners, better at forming consensus," Myers argues. In a highly competitive and increasingly fractious world, women possess the kind of critical problem-solving skills that are urgently needed to break down barriers, build understanding, and create the best conditions for peace. Myers knows firsthand the responsibilities and rewards of taking on leadership roles traditionally occupied by men. At thirty-one, she was appointed White House press secretary to President Bill Clinton—the first woman ever to hold the job. In a candid look at her years in Washington's political spotlight, she recalls the day-to-day challenge of confronting a press corps obsessed with more than just the president's policies. "Virtually every story written about me included observations about my earrings, my makeup, my clothes, my shoes. And then there was my hair." Recalling the pressures—both invited and imposed—of her West Wing years, Myers offers a hard-hitting look at the challenges women must overcome and the traps they must avoid as they travel the path toward success. From pioneering research in the laboratory, to innovations in business, entertainment, and media, to friendships that transcend partisanship in the U.S. Senate, she describes how female participation in public life has already transformed the world in which we live ISBN:9780061140402 Author:Dee Dee Myers

Social Intelligence The New Science o...

KShs2,500.00 KShs2,250.00
Emotional Intelligence was an international phenomenon, appearing on the New York Times bestseller list for over a year and selling more than five million copies worldwide. Now, once again, Daniel Goleman has written a groundbreaking synthesis of the latest findings in biology and brain science, revealing that we are "wired to connect” and the surprisingly deep impact of our relationships on every aspect of our lives. Far more than we are consciously aware, our daily encounters with parents, spouses, bosses, and even strangers shape our brains and affect cells throughout our bodies—down to the level of our genes—for good or ill. In Social Intelligence, Daniel Goleman explores an emerging new science with startling implications for our interpersonal world. Its most fundamental discovery: we are designed for sociability, constantly engaged in a "neural ballet” that connects us brain to brain with those around us. Our reactions to others, and theirs to us, have a far-reaching biological impact, sending out cascades of hormones that regulate everything from our hearts to our immune systems, making good relationships act like vitamins—and bad relationships like poisons. We can "catch” other people’s emotions the way we catch a cold, and the consequences of isolation or relentless social stress can be life-shortening. Goleman explains the surprising accuracy of first impressions, the basis of charisma and emotional power, the complexity of sexual attraction, and how we detect lies. He describes the "dark side” of social intelligence, from narcissism to Machiavellianism and psychopathy. He also reveals our astonishing capacity for "mind sight,” as well as the tragedy of those, like autistic children, whose mind sight is impaired. Is there a way to raise our children to be happy? What is the basis of a nourishing marriage? How can business leaders and teachers inspire the best in those they lead and teach? How can groups divided by prejudice and hatred come to live together in peace? The answers to these questions may not be as elusive as we once thought. And Goleman delivers his most heartening news with powerful conviction: we humans have a built-in bias toward empathy, cooperation, and altruism–provided we develop the social intelligence to nurture these capacities in ourselves and others.

She describes, in easy-to-follow stages from birth through starting school, how children develop: what they are doing, experiencing, and feeling. And she tackles both the questions parents often ask—What does a new baby’s wakefulness or a toddler’s tantrum mean?—and those that are more difficult: How should new parents time their return to work, choose day care, tell a child about a new baby or an impending divorce? Whatever the concern or question, Your Baby and Child supplies the information, encouragement, and reassurance every parent-to-be or new parent needs. ISBN:9780375700002 Author:Penelope Leach

Wise Words The Philosophy of Everyday...

KShs2,599.00 KShs2,470.00
Brief Summary A philosophical miscellany, as diverting as it is instructive, centered on an eclectic sequence of themes, ranging from advice to ageing, from backbiting to bigotry, from freedom to friendship, and from work to walking. Stephen Trombley mines the canon of two and half millennia of Western thought for observations that reflect the seriousness, the joy and the strangeness of human existence, counterpointing these words of wisdom with episodes - sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant, sometimes plain odd - from the lives of the great philosophers. WISE WORDS includes, on each of its themes, the thoughts of philosophers from the distant past to the present. The result is a multi-dimensional treatment of each theme that crosses temporal, national and ideological boundaries. ISBN:9781784971311 Author:Stephen Trombley

Be Inspired Before You Expire

KShs699.00 KShs665.00
Brief Summary Scientists tell us that human beings were created with infinite potential; this potential been virtually limitless. It’s further suggested that on average, human beings only use about ten percent of their intelligence, with most of us going through life without ever exploiting our full potential. Pepe Minambo’s book, Be Inspired before You Expire is a user’s manual to self-ignition-not the fiery kind, but of one’s inherent self-potential. The book is written in a simple, smooth and conversational style with gripping use of grammar. Sample this: ‘An expired person is a careless person because he has nothing to lose in life; he has no sense of purpose or destiny, he is reckless and is as harmful as an expired drug which is poisonous and detrimental to human health. Expired people cause others to expire.’ If that doesn’t grip you, then nothing will! The book is divided into twelve chapters touching on various aspects of life. Chapter six (Self Awareness) is particularly an eye opener. The chapter introduces the concept of your Unique Selling Point in life and how to find yourself. The chapters are short and to the point. The reader is advised to read them slowly while reflecting on how to apply the ideas into one’s life. The book is simply CAPTIVATING! On completion, one gets the feeling of being revitalized. The writer liberally quotes world figures that have made an impact in the world during their lives such as Winston Churchill, Abraham Maslow and Jack Welch.

Beyond Limits by Pepe Minambo

Brief Summary Each and every one of us has a story called ‘Once upon a time’, whether you believed once upon a time that you could conquer the world or that if you ran so fast you could fly, we all have our dreams. I ask the question, would the child you once were be proud of the adult you are today? I feel that lot of people are living compromised lives. Many have dreamt to be something someday but maybe because that has never happened, they compromised their potential. It is a reflective book. I write about five things that keep us from reaching and going beyond our purpose, then how to overcome them. To go beyond limits, you need people. A single conversation with the right person can be more powerful than that diploma or that MBA. The second thing about people is – what do you do for people? – If you want to be successful for a year, plant maize. If you want to be successful for 10 years, plant trees but if you want to be successful for a lifetime, invest in people. There are two things that will change your life, the people you meet and the books you read. Books have the power to transform. Not reading books is just as good as burning them.
