Stepping Up: the joyful and emotional Sunday Times - WHSmith

And the principles are not "business principles" per se, but are principles for living a moral, productive life. Doorheen haar reis toont Beth aan de lezer dat het best oké is om niet te hard of te streng te zijn voor jezelf en weet ze het verhaal luchtig te maken met haar gevoel voor humor. Not surprisingly, 33% of our survey respondents said that “creating a climate of fear and compliance” is what leaders do that discourages people from stepping up. I picked up this book off my shelf thinking that I would read it so I could impart some wisdom to my adult sons.

A wonderful and inspiring book defining the various stages of Biblical manhood from boyhood, to adolescence, to manhood, to mentor, and patriarch. Vallen en opstaan is een ontroerend verhaal over groei, steun, het rouwproces, volwassen worden en vooral hoop. If you're tired of being victimized and ready to make a real difference, take responsibility and step it up. There are some good points in the book which I felt applied to me as a young adult, but the majority of the advice I felt were things where I made a mental note of "Oh! It had some jewels of wisdom and the over all message of "step up and so something you won't regret it is a good one".

One of the book's strengths is its emphasis on the interconnectedness of different areas of life, including relationships, finances, and personal growth. Essentially a guide for taking full responsibility for your acts and never play the role of a victim. The writing style of "Stepping Up" is engaging and thought-provoking, and Izzo's use of anecdotes and case studies makes the book both relatable and inspiring. For starters, the book never attempts to differentiate American cultural manhood from biblical manhood. Twijfel tussen drie en vier sterren, toch maar vier, vanwege een mooie combi humor, drama en goed uitgewerkte personages.

The "journey" that Beth goes on despite there being a undercurrent of emotion and sadness, there is still some joy and laughter to be had. Once you step up, somehow that act of taking initiative drives you to find the resources you need inside and outside yourself. The tone of the novel is very similar, at times dark and blunt but also filled with a matter-of-fact humour and moments of sheer joy.
