A must for those ready to move past lip-service to liberation." -- Toni Townes-Whitley, President, US Regulated Industries, Microsoft How do I lead from the depth of who I am rather than from fear-based, conditioned thinking?How do I shift my mindset to accelerate my growth?

Praise for Taming Your Crocodiles Practices "How do we know ourselves? Practice Hylke's newest book offers us seventy-seven
thoughtful and accessible practices toward greater self-discovery,
creative expression and ever-expanding potential."
-- Chris Ernst, Vice-President, Leadership & Organizational
Effectiveness, Workday; author of Boundary Spanning Leadership "Taming Your Crocodiles Practices: Daily Reflections for Leadership Depth is a
magical combination of deeply wise insights and specific methods to make
these insights a reality in your life. I highly recommend this book for any
aspiring leader looking to grow professionally but, more importantly,
as a person."
--Matt Oppenheimer, CEO, Remitly "With great joy I have read this workbook. And it has pleased me to feel the
vulnerability of the author, which opens ways for both the reader and the
practitioner. Because of the vulnerability and openness of Hylke, he becomes
more of a co-passenger than a coach who tells you how it is. Also, I like the
fact that you have a choice of exercises related to your personal needs at every
given moment. Hylke really connects to the material, which for me is the
essence of personal leadership "
-- Wiet de Bruijn, Partner, Delight Group; former CEO VBK Publishers "Hylke scores a home run again. Taming Your Crocodiles Practices: Daily Reflections
for Leadership Depth is a unique and easy-to-read, practical book on personal
and professional growth. Hylke reinforces key concepts from his first book,
continuously taking the reader out of their comfort zone and posing challenging
questions on how to think differently. In addition, by providing daily tips, he
helps shape positive habits and behaviors, with a growth mindset, all required to
be a great leader. I highly recommend his book for any current or future leader,
as well as for a reader in search of a purposeful and meaningful life."
-- Gioji Okuhara, Board Member & CEO, Brazilian consumer goods companies "Through this simple yet powerful and practical book, I continue to explore
my fears, or crocodiles, and go deeper in myself. I connect to that place of
peace and of a growth mindset. With my busy life and working with world
humanitarian crises, this book helps me to be intentional and to continue
to practice my growth mindset and find that place of peace. The more I
practice leading with my authentic inner self, the more effectively I am able
to support leaders I work with globally. These practices apply universally:
across different cultures, countries, and religions. I highly recommend using
them, wherever you work and wherever you are from."
-- Dr. Valerie Nkamgang Bemo, MD-MPH,
Deputy Director, Emergency Response Global Development, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation "A critical part of leadership requires the realization that we must continue
to learn and grow. We must find space to tame our fears so we can show our
vulnerability, honesty, and share encouragement in an authentic way. I found
this space while reading Taming Your Crocodiles Practices: Daily Reflections for
Leadership Depth. The concept of the crocodile and the owl is very relatable and
easy to integrate into a daily practice. I use this as a reminder to stay on the edge
of discovery and wonder, which has opened my eyes to infinite possibilities."
--Marci Marra, Partner, Sia Partners "Taming Your Crocodiles Practices underscores an important point that the academic
literature on leadership has largely overlooked--to wit, that the first step a would be
leader must take in the art of leading an organization is knowing thy self. Once
you have your own act together, you can start to lead others."
-- Ray Horton, Frank R. Lautenberg Professor of Ethics &
Corporate Governance at Columbia Business School "In his new book, Taming Your Crocodiles Practices: Daily Reflections for Leadership
Depth, Hylke accurately and thoughtfully captures the fundamental
development challenge that all humans face: that is to manage our limbic
system and to master our fears so that we can uncover our true, loving nature.
The practices in this book help us to lead from our heart's wisdom, rather
than from our fear-based conditionings."
--Andrew

Mesmerizing; shows the butterfly effect in action
Format: Paperback
Charles Mann’s “1493” is about globalization and the Homogenocene epoch. Unlike the plenitude of other recent books about globalization, however, “1493” is about biological globalization rather than economic globalization. The book traces the results of the Columbian Exchange, with chapters devoted to tobacco, the earthworm, malaria, silver, potatoes and sweet potatoes, guano and rubber.
The book is in four parts, and is written in an accessible, non-academic style. I found the first three parts of the book, which cover the impact of the Columbian Exchange on the Atlantic, the Pacific and Europe, respectively, to be captivating. These parts of the book demonstrated the fascinating interconnectedness of all things in a globalized society (in other words the “butterfly effect”) – for example, how transporting the sweet potato to Western China led to population migrations from Eastern to Western China, deforestation and overflowing of the Yellow River. The general result of such biological globalization is the creation of the Homogenocene epoch, a term which Mann uses to describe the biological homogenization that has replaced biological diversity since the time of Columbus. In the first three parts of the book, Mann demonstrates how history, biology and chemistry are all interrelated, and how today’s world continues to be influenced by the Columbian Exchange.
I found the last part of the book to be less impressive than the first three parts. Part Four is called “Africa in the World,” but confusingly it is about South America, not Africa. Parts of it read more like travel writing than history. Still, the book deserves five stars for the first three thrilling parts, which successfully trace the mesmerizing history of various everyday biological substances.

There were periods I was on the edge of my seat. There were times I just wanted to the book to end.
Format: Paperback
I recently started reading at 40 years old to make up for a lot of wasted time and missed education. This is a very informative read, but that said, I had a hard time staying focused sometimes. He gets into a lot of the science pertaining to plagues, epidemics etc which is interesting and I am reluctant to list science as a con as I did learn, but frequently found myself scrolling through several pages just to get the main idea behind the historical part. There were periods that I was on the edge of my seat and there were times I just wanted to the book to end. 1491 was similar. Both useful books, but a bit challenging to follow along especially if you are only reading small amounts at at time like on break at work etc. It jumps around from S. America, N America and China all through the book. I would have preferred that each region be separated. I get that he had his reasons. I am glad I read both books, but I probably should have gone with more of an overview vs the more in-depth content in this. I do not regret reading both books however, and recommend if you already have a good knowledge of this subject and are just trying to learn a little more. I found the information about the slave trade, the most interesting and wasn't aware that the majority of slaves shipped over from Africa went to Mesoamerica and the Caribbean. I also did not realize that plague and sickness really enabled use of African slaves as they were not prone to malaria like the Europeans. There is also some good info about ancient China and also sliver and mercury mining with South American Indians which made the book worth it for me.

If you liked 1491, you'll like 1493
Format: Hardcover
I originally read the first edition of 1491, which I loved. So that's why I ordered 1493. At about the same time 1493 arrived, I found out there was a new, revised version of 1491, which my husband bought from another source. So I re-read it at the same time I read 1493 for the first time. The reason I mention this is that there are some similarities between the revised version of 1491 and the newer book, 1493 - actually some repeated material. That's ok, as the author is taking the premise of 1491 another step further. Essentially, 1491 focuses on what new studies show was really going on in the Western Hemisphere before Columbus' arrival, where native peoples were far more numerous and had more advanced cultures than Europeans previously thought possible. In 1493, Charles Mann shows not only how Columbus and Europeans changed the New World, but how the "Columbian exchange" wrought great changes in the other direction as well. And he pulls in the further exchanges with Asia, to show the trans-global linkages of the phenomenon. So, some of his exposition gets a little repetitious, but overall he's an engaging writer, and for those of us who love the history of cultural exchanges and first contact, these books are mandatory reading!

Truly worth every penny. DS2r?
Format: Hardcover
Truly incredible documentation of the thoughtful work of a handful of artists. I'm hoping that by supporting this book we may inch ourselves closer to a Dead Space 2 remake lead by Motive studio. This book is a must for fans or the game and horror in general. Well made, good quality images, lore drops, developer letters. Its fantastic!
