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.

<b><i>NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER</i>&#160;&bull;&#160;Deepak Chopra joins forces with leading physicist Menas Kafatos to explore some of the most important and baffling questions about our place in the world.&#160;<i><br/><br/></i>"A riveting and absolutely fascinating adventure that will blow your mind wide open!" &mdash;Dr. Rudolph E. Tanzi<i><br/></i></b>&#160;<br/> What happens when modern science reaches a crucial turning point that challenges everything we know about reality? In this brilliant, timely, and practical work, Chopra and Kafatos tell us that we've reached just such a point. In the coming era, the universe will be completely redefined as a "human universe" radically unlike the cold, empty void where human life is barely a speck in the cosmos.<br/> &#160;<br/> <i>You Are the Universe</i>&#160;literally means what it says--each of us is a co-creator of reality extending to the vastest reaches of time and space. This seemingly impossible proposition follows from the current state of science, where outside the public eye, some key mysteries cannot be solved, even though they are the very issues that define reality itself:<br/> &#160;<br/>&bull; What Came Before the Big Bang?<br/>&bull; Why Does the Universe Fit Together So Perfectly?<br/>&bull; Where Did Time Come From?<br/>&bull; What Is the Universe Made Of?<br/>&bull; Is the Quantum World Linked to Everyday Life?<br/>&bull; Do We Live in a Conscious Universe?<br/>&bull; How Did Life First Begin?<br/> &#160;<br/> &ldquo;The shift into a new paradigm is happening," the authors write. &ldquo;The answers offered in this book are not our invention or eccentric flights of fancy. All of us live in a participatory universe. Once you decide that you want to participate fully with mind, body, and soul, the paradigm shift becomes personal. The reality you inhabit will be yours either to embrace or to change." What these two great minds offer is a bold, new understanding of who we are and how we can transform the world for the better while reaching our greatest potential.
