Why America Matters confronts the most challenging questions facing our nation today and points the way towards an American renaissance.

While exploring the meaning of American exceptionalism in a postmodern, post-exceptional world, Wilkerson unpacks the cultural phenomena that have defined our generation, all within the historical context and framework of the unique American experiment: the foundational ideas of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Wilkerson’s first book, Stormwall, anticipated looming inflation and identified the crisis in American democracy leading up to the 2020 election. Why America Matters picks up where Stormwall left off, revealing not just the multiple crises facing the nation, but importantly prescribing real solutions relevant for all Americans.

“I wrote this book to remind us of forgotten truths about America’s meaning, and about our country’s role in the world,” said Wilkerson. “I want to breathe hope and life into this great nation’s future, which can only be done by understanding our past—with its successes and failures. Why America Matters confirms that it’s not too late to find a way forward amidst a growing struggle for the soul and future of the only place we Americans have to call home.”

Wilkerson has written for The American Conservative, American Greatness, The American Spectator, Barron’s, The Epoch Times, The Hill, Jackson Hole Economics, and Marketwatch, among others. He was the Chief Executive Officer of Fairfax Africa Holdings Corporation, a leading emerging markets investment firm, and previously served as Managing Director at Lazard, one of the world’s preeminent financial advisory and asset management firms. Wilkerson is chairman of charity: water, a nonprofit organization bringing clean and safe water to people around the world. He holds an MBA from Harvard Business School, an MA in International Relations from Yale University, and a BS from Oral Roberts University.

Sarah Lebel

Especially in light of more people acknowledging their trauma with initiatives like the Me Too movement, I believe that there is a gap in resources for people like me, and the millions of other survivors, that are wondering ‘what’s next?’ in their life journey.

CUMMING, Ga. (PRWEB)
October 24, 2022

With her first book, “The Simple Guide to a Successful You: Navigating Your Career After Life Gets Messy,” author Sarah Lebel delivers her own heart wrenching true story of surviving human trafficking and the steps she took to get control of her life and ultimately find her dream career.

“The Simple Guide to a Successful You” pragmatically shares a variety of her own experiences as a human trafficking survivor navigating the workplace, and the tactics she used to begin discovering her passions and climbing the career ladder. Hope and optimism are prevalent, but it does not ignore the harsh reality that life can get messy for anyone.

“As a survivor of human trafficking that is now living a life that I never dreamed I could have, I feel it is my duty to share my own experience with other people. Especially in light of more people acknowledging their trauma with initiatives like the Me Too movement, I believe that there is a gap in resources for people like me, and the millions of other survivors, that are wondering ‘what’s next?’ in their life journey,” Lebel says. “Trauma can happen to anyone. My hope is that this book shines a light on the fact that no matter what has happened in your life, there is hope.”

“Each of the steps that I outlined in this book are based on my own experience, and even if just one reader is able to carve a passion-filled life path, that’s all that matters,” Lebel said. “If it motivates someone to take action and as a result a life is renewed, or a family is healed, then mission accomplished.”

“The Simple Guide to a Successful You” is now available in ebook and print versions at Amazon.

About the Author

Sarah Lebel is a survivor and advocate in the fight against human trafficking. As a result of her personal experiences, she founded the non-profit But What Is Next, which supports trauma survivors in creating a fulfilling and stable life by connecting them with resources to carve out their career path, and the financial support to make it happen.

The spirit of the daughter she lost wants Lilibet Rain to be happy above all else. Over the last 10 years, focusing on self-improvement, a positive attitude and working closely with nature, it helped her achieve that state. Now, she wanted to help other people as well who have gone through loss, particularly losing a child, to heal and have a happy life. It is for this reason she writes “Growing Happiness: Turning Loss and Grief into Joy” (published by Balboa Press).

Rain lost her home and possessions, her 24-year-old daughter and her 18-year marriage. If that was not enough, she also went through dramatic health challenges: surviving cancer and learning to live with a heart condition. Yet she is one of the most passionate and happy people one can meet. She made a decision along the way not to be a victim of life, and instead to be a hero. She embraced forgiveness as a key to living a happy life. Her passions for teaching and organic farming have been both her therapy and her driving force to happiness.

“Depression and suicide are on the rise amongst people who have suffered major loss. They find it difficult to heal and find happiness again in their lives. This was made much worse due to the pandemic, where many people lost loved ones prematurely due to contracting COVID-19. It is a time where healing from loss is needed more than ever before. It is also a time when people have become disconnected from nature and are suffering from ‘Nature Deficit disorder,’ Rain says. She adds, “The book gives hope to readers that despite any losses they have gone through in life, they can find happiness and live a fulfilled life. It is both a story and a transformational book and will appeal to both those who enjoy fiction/stories and non-fiction/self-improvement.”

When asked what she wants readers to take away from the book, Rain answers, “I would like my readers to feel inspired to spend time in nature and embrace the inner tools of acceptance, forgiveness and gratitude so that they can heal and have a happy life. Happiness is a choice we make, a choice to connect to the truth of our souls instead of to the false, exterior world. My greatest wish for them is that they make a lasting commitment to be happy. The prize will surely be a magical, joyful life beyond their wildest dreams.” For more details about the book, please visit https://www.balboapress.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/821952-growing-happiness

Ed Rapp, a former Caterpillar Inc. group president with broad business and global experience, has completed his new book “The Flywheel of Life and Leadership.” It offers a curious and potent directory to navigating the business world. Using the model of a flywheel, Rapp defines his intersectional approach to overcoming challenges and succeeding both personally and professionally.

“Just as a flywheel transfers power from a motor to a machine,” writes author Ed Rapp, “we, as leaders, transfer power to other people through how we live and lead. The inherent principles need to move in sync to do our job as leaders.”

Published by Page Publishing, Rapp’s instructive narrative outlines finding success even in the face of adversity. In 2015, Rapp made the difficult decision to step down from his executive position at Caterpillar Inc. following an ALS diagnosis when he was given 2 to 5 years to live. With his disciplined approach and levering the very model the book espouses, he continues to outlive this challenge.

“The Flywheel of Life and Leadership” also features the insightful perspective of co-author Anju Jain, a business leader and Chief Human Resources Officer at Fermilab. She has extensive experience in leadership and HR and has previously authored two books on leadership and burnout. Together the authors share examples on how the key principles of balance, relationships, a clear operating model and discipline, irrespective of the kind of work you do or the industries you work in, prepare you to live and lead and for the eventual curveballs of life.

Readers who wish to experience this illuminating work can purchase “The Flywheel of Life and Leadership” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Supportiv | Motivation Resource Collection

The frustration of feeling ‘stuck’ can touch every part of your life: work, family, relationships, friendships, personal growth, coping, and healing.

BERKELEY, Calif. (PRWEB)
September 21, 2022

How can individuals move from fatigue and burnout to energy and motivation? Over 85% of the world’s adults struggle with motivation – to take initiative, to work towards goals, or even just to get out of bed in the morning.

For those struggling to motivate themselves, in a position to help others take action, or both, Supportiv’s new Motivation articles are helpful guides for the journey from burnout to motivation.

Fatigue, burnout, illness, and other causes of low energy and initiative can steal a person’s sense of hope. Without the inclination to take action, it’s hard to believe anything can or will ever change. That’s why motivation is a cornerstone of mental health and emotional wellbeing.

Unfortunately, we live in a world that drains motivation in many different ways.

Supportiv CEO Helena Plater-Zyberk explains: “Events like pandemics create a sense that you don’t have agency over what happens in your own life. Constant stimulation and demands on our time drain our energy and creativity, and our attention spans have been battered by social media. When society’s lack of personal human connection keeps us from recharging enough, it’s no wonder that most people struggle with motivation in some way or another.”

Despite the external factors contributing to global demotivation, there are ways to take action as an individual to re-energize yourself.

Supportiv Co-Founder Pouria Mojabi speaks to the wellbeing effects of motivating oneself: “A lack of motivation blocks you from fulfilling your potential. The frustration of feeling ‘stuck’ can touch every part of your life: work, family, relationships, friendships, personal growth, coping, and healing. However, we often have more control over our own initiative than we believe. This collection of articles can help readers catalyze themselves, overcoming apathy or lethargy.”

Supportiv’s new Motivation Collection (https://www.supportiv.com/motivation) covers topics such as:

• 
  Don’t Care About Anything? Enjoy Life Again
• Do This To Get Yourself Out Of The House
• Spark Action On A Daunting Task
• Get Out Of A Rut
• Re-Balance Yourself With A Life Inventory
• How To Be Proud Of Your Work Ethic Without Burning Out
• Stop Procrastination Before It Stops You
• Emotional Readiness To Work After A Vacation
• Rediscover Your Passions Post-Retirement
• Self Limiting Beliefs: Unravel Them Before They Unravel You
• Feeling Directionless? Why It Happens and How To Move On
• What Am I Going To Do? Ways To Keep Moving Forward

“My Authentic Self: Finding the Road to Purpose”: a potent reminder of one’s connection with God. “My Authentic Self: Finding the Road to Purpose” is the creation of published author Sabrina Horde, the director of WOE (Women of Excellence), a ministry within the faith-based organization Ladies of Grace Chi.

Horde shares, “One of the first things I found out when I became a born-again Christian is that God has a unique plan and purpose for each of us. I thought that was the most amazing thing! When God thought about me, Sabrina, he created me to do this certain thing. As I grew in the things of God, there were times I got distracted from that truth. Throughout my life, I was distracted by what others wanted or expected of me. Through desiring acceptance of others, I did not realize I was conforming to what others wanted me to be or expected me to be, rather than being who God called me to be. There is a pressure in this world to become what the world and its ideas deem as ‘acceptable.’ Even if you are successful and able to achieve it, you may realize something is still missing.

“One thing God showed me is if I can discover what it is that he has created me to do and actually do it, I would be in my happy place. Why? Because I am doing what my Creator, the Creator of this world, actually designed me to do. What I did not realize initially is that on this journey, I would encounter many hills and valleys, and it was only through my relationship with God himself that I would be able to discern rightly how to navigate.

“What is great about discovering purpose is you will find that it is wrapped in your passions and desires that God has already placed inside your heart! How exciting is that? You will find your life full of adventure and newness as you follow God in discovering and being in his perfect will for your life.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Sabrina Horde’s new book will challenge and encourage as readers reflect on the empowering message within.

Horde shares in hopes of promoting others on their journey of self-discovery and spiritual healing.

Consumers can purchase “My Authentic Self: Finding the Road to Purpose” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.
