Erik Grönwall shot to stardom over night when he won the Swedish edition of Idol. In his autobiography, <i>Power - Music, Death, Life</i>, we follow Erik&rsquo;s life from his upbringing till today; his struggles to make it as an artist, his devastating leukemia diagnosis at the height of the pandemic, and his miraculous recovery. The book also covers how he came to be the lead singer in legendary metal band, Skid Row, his time in the band, and the reasons for his decision to later leave the band. This is not only a story about life in the limelight and being a rockstar, this is a book about staying true to your values and dreams and how to stand your ground and believe in yourself even when it is not the obvious choice.<br/><br/>&ldquo;I never thought I would write an autobiography, let alone at an age of 36. But sometimes I feel like I have lived two lifetimes in the quarter of a life. I believe I have something to share that might give hope and inspiration to others that are struggling. Life after an illness can actually turn out to be better than ever."<br/><br/><b>Erik Grönwall</b>, b. 1987, is a singer and songwriter, he won Swedish Idol and was the lead in bands like H.E.A.T and Skidrow. And who knows what next, despite all the life lived, he just recently turned 36.

A Decent Leadership - for a decentralized organisation The organisational form that gives people the very best conditions is the decentralised organisation. And the kind of leadership that provides the incentive to follow is decent leadership. In the book I give 40 pieces of advice, based on my own experience from 16 years in Atlas Copco's management as well as from many board assignments in both listed and unlisted companies. Where did decency go? From where do all the authoritarian tones come? Where did the respect go - for the difficult art of making things work? Respect for the small word "how"? With a world order now in upheaval, leadership in business becomes especially important as a role model. You will read my book with critical eyes. Quite right. Use your own experience as a counterweight to my advice. Use your own experience to deepen the questions I raise. My hope is that you will then be able to navigate even better in the life called the professional one. In a role that is built on the ability to get people to cooperate in a determined direction.

Recalling Olive Kitteridge in its richness, structure, and complexity, Anything Is Possible explores the whole range of human emotion through the intimate dramas of people struggling to understand themselves and others. Here are two sisters: One trades self-respect for a wealthy husband while the other finds in the pages of a book a kindred spirit who changes her life. The janitor at the local school has his faith tested in an encounter with an isolated man he has come to help; a grown daughter longs for mother love even as she comes to accept her mother's happiness in a foreign country; and the adult Lucy Barton (the heroine of My Name Is Lucy Barton, the author's celebrated New York Times bestseller) returns to visit her siblings after seventeen years of absence. Reverberating with the deep bonds of family, and the hope that comes with reconciliation, Anything Is Possible again underscores Elizabeth Strout's place as one of America's most respected and cherished authors.

n 52 weeks of self-discovery, The Chakra Wisdom Oracle Toolkit guides you in opening up your intuition, removing blockages from your life, improving your relationships and realizing your highest potential. Here is the full text of the fables that were revealed by angels to the popular intuitive Tori Hartman and then lost for two decades. Week by week, you will explore the 49 fables, beginning with "Renewal" - the fable of Geranium, which promises a new beginning. This standalone book can also be used in conjunction with the Chakra Wisdom Oracle Cards, a divinatory deck of 49 cards, each one representing one of the fables. Each fable is associated with one of the major chakras and has its own shade of colour (Geranium Red, for example) and a fairy-tale illustration; the visuals add extra layers of meaning to the words of the fable. There are five days of activity per week, each requiring just 10 - 20 minutes. On Monday, you read the fable and set your intention for the week. On Tuesday, you explore the meaning of the week's colour. Wednesday is the Journal Journey, when you complete a written task. On Thursday there are exercises in self-understanding, to be done alone or in a group. Friday has a guided meditation. Through short bursts of activity each day, the fables will seep into your life, giving you new perspectives and helping you to make the changes you truly want.
