Why truly knowing what we value—and why—is the real basis of success

 Listen closely: you’ll notice that words like ’value’ lie at the heart of many of the important conversations taking place around you. Whether they’re about personal development, business or government, value is everywhere. In business, we hear about ’adding value’, in our personal lives, we’re told about the importance of ’self-worth’. But how many of us know what these concepts truly mean—and how do we know when we’re getting them right?

 Mark Carter is a sought-after speaker—including for TEDx—and professional trainer for blue-chip companies all over the world. His passion for understanding what makes us do the things we do have convinced him that what makes or breaks all of our ventures is having a full moral understanding of what we value and why—and living up to it. When we bias towards one set of values—for example the win-at-all-costs sagas of the Banking Royal Commission and Belle Gibson—we alienate others and lose out overall.

Develop your skills of self-reflection and awareness Build your personal and business legacy Know how to cultivate lasting relationships Discover why human skills are even more necessary for success in the age of AI

In 1948 Robert Graves published The White Goddess. His study of poetic mysticism and goddess worship has since become a founding text of Western paganism. As Wicca emerged from what Graves called, a few hopeful young people in California, to over two million strong, The White Goddess has achieved near liturgical status. This rising appreciation brings all the problems of liturgical texts. Many pagans consider Graves' work like the goddess herself; awe inspiring but impenetrable. Stalking The Goddess is the first extensive examination of this enigmatic text to come from the pagan community and guides readers through bewildering forests of historical sources, poems, and Graves' biography to reveal his unorthodox claims and entrancing creative process. Relentlessly perusing each path it explores the uncharted woods and reveals the hidden signposts Graves has posted. The hunt for the goddess spans battlefields, ancient manuscripts, the British museum, and Stonehenge. En route we encounter not only the goddess herself but her three sacred animals; dog, roebuck, and lapwing. Perhaps the muse cannot be captured on her own grounds, but now at least there is a map.

This is a vivid and perceptive insight into the horrors of war as experienced by British soldiers of the Royal Artillery in the Desert War in 1941–2. The author, who fought in the campaign, brings to life the true nature of the fighting as British gunners struggled to defend their comrades from the armored power of the Axis forces under Erwin Rommel. Here, too, are some of the lighter sides of war and the friendships that were made in those days of adversity. Anti Tank takes us from the fighting of 1941 and the toing-and-froing of the ‘Benghazi Stakes’ through to the final Battle of El Alamein in October/November 1942 and the beginning of Eighth Army’s advance to victory.
