Why Are You Here Cafe A New Way Of Finding Meaning In Your Life And Your Work by John P. Strelecky

I got this book as part of Christmas present from my daughter Lara. Oh my goodness ... once I picked up the book I could not put it down until I had read it all the way through. And it resonated with me enormously.


The Why Café by John Stelecky is a story of a man who happens onto an all night café and finds 3 compelling questions on a menu

1. Why Are You Here? 
2. Do You Fear Death? 
3. Are You Fulfilled? 

Sparked by a fun and interesting midnight conversation, he begins to contemplate his purpose for existing, his PFE. 

Until we know what our PFE is and discover activities that help us fulfill it, we waste time and energy on lots of things. Those who don't take steps to discover and fulfill their PFE are those who fear death. We are fulfilled by working toward our PFE. What would life be like if you were always doing the things you wanted to do, and feeling passionate about it? Events would begin falling synchronistically in place to help support you along the way, and you'd notice one lucky coincidence unfold after another. You'd begin seeing the world with new eyes, and noticing new opportunities.
-----------------------------------
I am the author of the story-book my life -- I better take charge of writing my own book -- for that I better know my PFE and live it.

I found John P. Strelecky's print book to be highly inspiring indeed.

Teach Like Your Hair's on Fire: The Methods and Madness Inside Room 56 by Rafe Esquith

It is a very inspiring book -- Rafe Esquith is passionate, vulnerable, challenging, inspiring and honest. These qualities reveal themselves in this candid look at his own teaching practices, and how he has been able to motivate fifth grade students in a rough school district of Los Angeles to succeed in glorious ways. The winner of a variety of national awards, Esquith uses his words to encourage and challenge readers to demand the best they have to offer, and to demand the same from the students they work with. 


Rafe teaches students enjoy learning for the sake of learning. We want them to work their way up to realizing that they are responsible for their education, so it is important to do their very best at all times for themselves, not for the teacher or grade.


I found Rafe's concepts to be consistent with my own Learn-in-Play Technology that I have developed for kids of all ages from under eight to over eighty and have applied in my University level teaching -- I have based it on the concept that learning should be fun, playful, and enjoyable in an environment that is ...

• Leading
• Energizing
• Actualizing
• Rewarding
• Nurturing

I found Rafe Esquith's audio book to be highly inspiring indeed.

The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Centuryby Thomas L Friedman.

The author describes how technology has flattened the world -- by flattening, the author means interconnectedness. The author talks about Globalization -- historically, how and when it started, what is happening now and where we are heading with globalization. The author talks about how flattening of the world and globalization is benefitng everyone -- and especially how developing countries like India and China have benefited from this. You may not necessarily agree with the authors oversimplification of his opinions on globalization and the flattening of the world, but it is a very interesting listen and the author has done a good job in presenting his concepts.
