"Leave the Baggage Behind—and Uncover the Authentic You
More than 70 percent of adults feel they have a mental health problem. Without a clear path to healing, they've followed the devastating lies and whims of our ever-shifting culture—causing them even more pain.
Offering real hope and a new road map for inner peace, licensed counselor and author Diane Arnold leads you on a redemptive journey of twelve life-changing truths that help you live an emotionally, mentally, and spiritually healthy life. Through uplifting teaching and practical exercises, she provides real-world solutions and a spiritual compass to help you discover—and accept—the real you; pursue your purpose; silence shame; experience unconditional love and acceptance; and find joy, think soundly, and live with courage.
The road to wholeness and lasting healing isn't found in culture's constantly changing map. It's found in the quiet, narrow path of true peace and transformation."

You'll quickly understand how to successfully navigate your way through typical ML interviews.
This guide shows you how to: explore various machine learning roles, including ML engineer, applied scientist, and data scientist; assess your interests and skills before deciding which ML role(s) to pursue; evaluate your current skills and close any gaps that may prevent you from succeeding in the interview process; acquire the skill set necessary for each machine learning role; ace ML interview topics, including coding assessments, statistics and machine learning theory, and behavioral questions; and prepare for interviews in statistics and machine learning theory by studying common interview questions."
"The best and the brightest use advisors and experts. In fact, one could say that they are the best and the brightest because they utilized trusted advisors throughout their careers.
Whether in business, sports, entertainment, academia, or politics—expert help is a fundamental enabler of success. That means that the demand for expert advice will grow and the competition will increase for such help. This isn't a matter of 'certificates' and 'universities,' it's a matter of specific skill and behavioral sets that create a trusting bond and reliance. Trusted advisors are beyond coaches—they are comprehensive resources and supporters.
The Modern Trusted Advisor employs important mastery traits, such as subordinating ego, applying shared experiences, and managing emotional, mental, and intellectual health. We are entering a world of 'no normal' today and leaders must inspire others daily.
This is the book that prepares you to inspire those leaders."
"Born in China’s northwestern province, Sayragul Sauytbay trained as a doctor before being appointed a senior civil servant. But her life was upended when the Chinese authorities incarcerated her. Her crime? Being Kazakh, one of China’s ethnic minorities. The northwestern province borders the largest number of foreign nations and is the point in China that is the closest to Europe. In recent years, it has become home to over 1,200 penal camps?modern-day gulags that are estimated to house three million members of the Kazakh and Uyghur minorities. Imprisoned solely due to their ethnicity, inmates are subjected to relentless punishment and torture, including being beaten, raped, and used as subjects for medical experiments. The camps represent the greatest systematic incarceration of an entire people since the Third Reich. In prison, Sauytbay was put to work teaching Chinese language, culture, and politics, in the course of which she gained access to secret information that revealed Beijing’s long-term plans to undermine not only its minorities but also democracies around the world. Upon her escape to Europe, she was reunited with her family, but she still lives under constant threat of reprisal. This rare testimony from the biggest surveillance state in the world reveals not only the full, frightening scope of China’s tyrannical ambitions but also the resilience and courage of its author."
