Book excerpt: Throughout human history people have been driven from their homes by wars, unjust treatment, earthquakes, and hurricanes. The reality of forced migration is not new, nor is awareness of the suffering of the displaced a recent discovery. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees estimates that at the end of 2007 there were 67 million persons in the world who had been forcibly displaced from their homes—including more than 16 million people who had to flee across an international border for fear of being persecuted due to race, religion, nationality, social group, or political opinion. Driven from Home advances the discussion on how best to protect and assist the growing number of persons who have been forced from their homes and proposes a human rights framework to guide political and policy responses to forced migration. This thought-provoking volume brings together contributors from several disciplines, including international affairs, law, ethics, economics, and theology, to advocate for better responses to protect the global community’s most vulnerable citizens.

Book excerpt: At age 27 Laura Stratton, even after being saved by a miracle at age 3 and being raised a strict Catholic, finally ended an unholy affair she had with her married boss, a master manipulator. She witnessed her angel's presence several times, but blindly ignored it. After facing the sins of hurting her parents and breaking the 6th Commandment, her conscience made her so distraught she sought a psychiatrist, Dr. Bennett, where DRIVEN begins. Immediately thereafter, Laura changes her life making a vow to God that she would never commit sin again and help her parents all her life. Laura was naïve when she entered law. Her pure motive was to make money working overtime in top law firms, so she was "driven" to keep her job despite administrators' brutal behavior and harassment. She fought the smartest, richest attorneys in the world and their mistresses by becoming the "perfect legal secretary" working long torturous hours to prove herself - in vain. Read how they mocked her out of jealousy and finally fired her unjustifiably in three top law firms - but her faith in God carried her. The last chapter is where Laura meets an obsessive-compulsive attorney, Jeffrey T. Goodman. Her eyes were black as she arose at 3:30 AM each day to catch an early train and worked until 9 PM - 75 to 90 hours per week. Never missing a day of work or taking a break -or even eating for that matter - after 11 months outperforming at A&B, Laura had a nervous breakdown and walks out. Again, she feels the presence of her guardian angel lifting her, and hears her sweet mother's voice convincing her to do the right thing. The next day, Goodman had Laura fired but, soon thereafter, even with his pending promotion to managing partner of A&B confirmed, his partners filed a complaint with the ARDC against him for overbilling. The last sentence of DRIVEN is the most influential lawyer's quote, "I will get Laura Stratton -I will get her if it's the last thing I do."

Book excerpt: 'A part of all those people who helped me along the way can be found in everything I have done and continue to do. I had some great teachers - and I listened to what they had to say.' - Michael Jordan A global icon in sports, style and business, Michael Jordan is famous for his unrivalled athletic ability, his fierce determination, and his grace under pressure. In DRIVEN FROM WITHIN, he makes it clear that his phenomenal success is thanks in large part to the teachers, mentors and friends who have guided him throughout his life. Here is a book about the power of collaboration and teamwork, the energy that is released when people share their gifts and hard-won knowledge. With almost two million copies of his three previous books in print, Michael Jordan has proven himself to be as strong a performer in bookstores as he is on the court. Lavishly illustrated and beautifully designed, this is Michael Jordan's most intimate book to date. Organized around the qualities that Jordan demonstrates in his own life and that he looks for in others - qualities like authenticity, integrity, passion and commitment - DRIVEN FROM WITHIN is an inspiring record of an extraordinary life.

Book excerpt: Robert Herjavec has lived the classic “rags to riches” story, from having $20 in his pocket to starting up technology companies worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Now the star of television’s Dragons’ Den and Shark Tank, this son of Croatian immigrants earned his incredible wealth by overcoming the odds with hard work and determination. On television, Herjavec bankrolls the best inventions and shoots down the best of intentions. Now, he’s sharing his hard-won wisdom in one of the most inspirational business books of recent times. In Driven, Herjavec shares the secrets that took him from his job waiting tables to growing his nascent technology company into a world-class conglomerate, The Herjavec Group. Herjavec’s principles are as valuable in the living room as they are in the boardroom. Anyone can succeed, on their own terms, by following his sage but simple advice—if they’re willing to take chances, to take control of their own future and to stay true to their own visions.
