Everyone knows your wedding day is the most important day of your life. But did you know it could also be the wackiest? Part family reunion, part ceremony, part dinner party, part get-down-and boogie dance party, weddings have a tendency to spin out of control-especially when You start considering all the important questions: Do I invite all of my relatives or just the ones I know? What does a wed" ding budget look like-and how do I stay on one? Where do I find a Dj who won't play the macarena? Why is my groom acting like such a grouch?

So who can you turn to for answers? Your best friend-that wise, resourceful, and wonderfully witty friend who will help you pull together the wedding of your dreams and make sure you have fun along the way.

In The Best Friend's Guide to Planning a Wedding, Lara Webb Carrigan, like that indispensable girl Friend, helps you navigate the complicated process of organizing a wedding with smarts, grace, and, above all, good humor. After having survived he hundreds of brides-to-be and newlyweds, collecting the kind of useful suggestions that no one thinks to share-until after the wedding.

This exciting sequel to Marcus Pfister's best-selling Milo and the Magical Stones picks up where the happy resolution to that alternate-ending book left off. Winter is over and Milo sets out to explore. But Milo knows every nook and cranny of his small island and he is restless and bored. How wonderful it would be, he thinks, to see what lies over the horizon. He shares his dream with the other cliff mice, and together they build a giant raft and set out on a voyage of discovery. Their voyage takes them to a lush tropical island inhabited by friendly striped mice. What kind of explorers will the cliff mice be? Will their discovery lead to good or evil? It's up to the reader to decide. Halfway through the story, the book splits into two sections, each offering a different ending. From Marcus Pfister, creator of ""The Rainbow Fish,"" comes a thought-provoking story that, with the book's unique format, actively involves children in the decision-making process.

Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth, and Happiness

Now available: Nudge: The Final Edition The original edition of the multimillion-copy New York Times bestseller by the winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, Richard H. Thaler, and Cass R. Sunstein: a revelatory look at how we make decisions—for fans of Malcolm Gladwell’s Blink, Charles Duhigg’s The Power of Habit, James Clear’s Atomic Habits, and Daniel Kahneman’s Thinking, Fast and Slow Named a Best Book of the Year by The Economist and the Financial Times Every day we make choices—about what to buy or eat, about financial investments or our children’s health and education, even about the causes we champion or the planet itself. Unfortunately, we often choose poorly. Nudge is about how we make these choices and how we can make better ones. Using dozens of eye-opening examples and drawing on decades of behavioral science research, Nobel Prize winner Richard H. Thaler and Harvard Law School professor Cass R. Sunstein show that no choice is ever presented to us in a neutral way, and that we are all susceptible to biases that can lead us to make bad decisions. But by knowing how people think, we can use sensible “choice architecture” to nudge people toward the best decisions for ourselves, our families, and our society, without restricting our freedom of choice.

Helping Students Develop Essential Skills for the Classroom and Beyond

While social and emotional learning (SEL) is most familiar as compartmentalized programs separate from academics, the truth is, all learning is social and emotional. What teachers say, the values we express, the materials and activities we choose, and the skills we prioritize all influence how students think, see themselves, and interact with content and with others.

If you teach kids rather than standards, and if you want all kids to get what they need to thrive, Nancy Frey, Douglas Fisher, and Dominique Smith offer a solution: a comprehensive, five-part model of SEL that's easy to integrate into everyday content instruction, no matter what subject or grade level you teach. You'll learn the hows and whys of:
 * Building students' sense of identity and confidence in their ability to learn, overcome challenge, and influence the world around them.
 * Helping students identify, describe, and regulate their emotional responses.
 * Promoting the cognitive regulation skills critical to decision making and problem solving.
 * Fostering students' social skills, including teamwork and sharing, and their ability to establish and repair relationships.
 * Equipping students to becoming informed and involved citizens.



Along with a toolbox of strategies for addressing 33 essential competencies, you'll find real-life examples highlighting the many opportunities for social and emotional learning within the K-12 academic curriculum. Children's social and emotional development is too important to be an add-on or an afterthought, too important to be left to chance. Use this book's integrated SEL approach to help your students build essential skills that will serve them in the classroom and throughout their lives.

Practical Wisdom for Everyday Moral Decisions

"It's a moral jungle out there," writes Peter Kreeft. In Making Choices he describes why we find decision-making so difficult and living with our choices even harder. With penetrating wisdom, good humor, and common sense, Peter Kreeft draws a map through the everyday jungle of moral choices, one simple enough for the believer and convincing enough for the skeptic. This book clears a straight road through the thorny jungles of skewed modern thinking about the way to live, and does do with the easy brilliance, impish insight, and searching simplicity that have become Peter Kreeft's special trademarks.

Harper and Row, 1967,- Decision-making - 178 pages
The measure of the executive, Peter Drucker reminds us, is the ability to 'get the right things done'. Usually this involves doing what other people have overlooked, as well as avoiding what is unproductive.

He identifies five talents as essential to effectiveness, and these can be learned; in fact, they must be learned just as scales must be mastered by every piano student regardless of his natural gifts. Intelligence, imagination and knowledge may all be wasted in an executive job without the acquired habits of mind that convert these into results.

One of the talents is the management of time. Another is choosing what to contribute to the particular organization. A third is knowing where and how to apply your strength to best effect. Fourth is setting up the right priorities. And all of them must be knitted together by effective decision-making.

How these can be developed forms the main body of the book. The author ranges widely through the annals of business and government to demonstrate the distinctive skill of the executive. He turns familiar experience upside down to see it in new perspective. The book is full of surprises, with its fresh insights into old and seemingly trite situations.

The social challenges facing us in the 2020's are radically different than those we faced even one generation ago. Meet the new leaders who are moving us forward and learn how to apply their same effectiveness, qualities, and attributes to you own leadership. The kinds of leadership it has always taken to build American communities and companies are still relevant, but they are not sufficient to define the level and quality of leadership it will take to rebuild an America that has become too uneven and siloed over the last 20 years. Turn to Taking Charge of Change to learn real life success stories of change leaders that will inspire and point the way to real life impact. Featured leaders include Peter Drucker Award winner Rosanne Haggerty, whose goal is not to reduce but to put an end to chronic homelessness; Father Greg Boyle, whose organization, Homeboy Industries, has made a dramatic impact on reducing gang violence in Los Angeles; and board-certified psychiatrist and behavioral neurologist Justin Coffey's, whose work on depression has reduced suicide rates in a way that has been validated scientifically. Readers will: Learn the common elements change leaders utilize to make a remarkable impact on some or our most complex problems. Go from thinking about making an impact to a path of action where you are the right kind of leader for the future who is directly affecting people's lives. Gain new perspective on what is possible through the inspiration of the change leaders featured in this groundbreaking book. Ultimately, Paul Shoemaker, Founding President of Social Venture Partners International--a global network of thousands of social innovators, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and business and community leaders--shows leaders how change is happening and profiles the leaders behind it so that they have a model to follow.
