WASHINGTON, June 7, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Two-time kidney transplant recipient, Gregory S. Works, is pleased to announce the release of his new book, “Triumph: Life on the Other Side of Trials, Transplants and Transformation.”
Within its launch week, ‘Triumph’ has already ranked in the top 10 for Healing in New Releases category on Amazon, an impressive feat that underscores the book’s timely relevance and appeal.
“Triumph” serves as an empowering guide for those living with chronic illnesses, as well as for their caregivers. Drawing from his personal experiences, Works provides a candid exploration of life with kidney disease, demonstrating how faith can become the cornerstone to triumph over life-altering challenges.
“I wrote ‘Triumph’ to show that challenges are inevitable, but the decisions we make—whether to face them or flee—can profoundly impact our ability to overcome or be overtaken by trials, pain, and suffering in our lives,” Works says.
The book has already received high praise from notable figures such as Omar Tyree, New York Times best-selling author and NAACP Image Award Winner, who commends ‘Triumph’ as a “masterpiece of resilience and creativity.” Steve Pemberton, USA Today Best Seller, also recommends the book, describing it as “a testament to the power of perseverance, faith, and community.”
Born out of his personal journey with kidney disease, which has affected everyone in his immediate family, Works shares invaluable insights on managing the disease, the process of seeking a transplant, dietary considerations, navigating COVID as a kidney disease patient, and post-transplant life.
A graduate of Howard University and Northwestern University’s J.L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management, Works leverages his wealth of knowledge and experiences to help others face their challenges head-on and live a victorious life.
“Triumph” is now available for purchase on Amazon.

Hiro+Mari, renowned hair stylists and founders of Salon87, in collaboration with acclaimed photographer Maru Teppei, proudly announce the release of their anthology photobook, “87 Heads.“

The photobook captures the iconic hairstyles and beauty trends conceptualized and created by Hiro+Mari, transforming everyday individuals into extraordinary models.
Originally intended to deepen connections with locals of Graham Avenue, the project experienced a temporary hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the challenges, Hiro+Mari and Maru Teppei resumed their project, creating a testament to resilience, beauty, and creativity amidst adversity.
“87 Heads” celebrates not just craft but the resilient spirit of East Williamsburg. The community was a constant source of inspiration. In the face of an unprecedented pandemic, Hiro+Mari wondered what they could give to their community. By creating hair art on their neighbors, family and friends, they realized they could bring joy through their creative work.
Featuring the meticulous Japanese techniques and New York style that Salon87 is known for, “87 Heads” takes readers on a journey to showcase and celebrate diverse counterculture styles ranging from nostalgic Japanese Sukeban perms to iconic flat-tops with Basquiat embellishments. Maru Teppei’s photography, which has previously been recognized for its surrealistic aesthetics and vivid engagement with the subject, adds an arresting visual depth to the anthology.
This collection is a testament to Salon87’s mission: to create new trends in the fashion and beauty industry worldwide from Brooklyn, NY. “87 Heads” is a tribute to the perseverance and passion of its stylists: Chika Nishiyama, Izumi Sato, Miwako Urasugi, and Yu Nakata.
The photobook serves as a testament to the profound talent and vision of Hiro+Mari and Maru Teppei and as a tribute to the resilient East Williamsburg community. “87 Heads” is more than just a showcase of hairstyles; it’s a portrait of a community, a snapshot of a moment in time, and a celebration of human connection, solidarity, and creative expression.
“87 Heads” is available for purchase now. Join us in celebrating this incredible achievement of hair art, community resilience, and the beauty of East Williamsburg.

Learn Rewirement and Work-Life Integration From the C-Suite Couple Who’s Done It for 45 Years
CHICAGO, May 30, 2023 (Newswire.com)

Ilene Gordon and Bram Bluestein, the C-suite couple that has been practicing rewirement and work-life integration for 45 years, has released the hardcover edition of Doubling Down: The Secret Sauce for Dual-Career Families. For anyone who desires to excel in a big career, sustain a loving relationship, and raise children who grow up to be happy and healthy adults, this is the playbook that reveals the new elixir to making it all work in 2023 and beyond.
“The ability to model all that an enriching, fulfilling life can be for your children while also managing rigorous work schedules as high-level executives is nothing short of heroic,” said Elliott Wislar, CEO of Clearbrook. “Bram and Ilene are modern role models for us all, in fact, epitomizing a grand American dream. I’m inspired by the many examples in their book but also, fueled to be more self-aware and intentional as a leader and parent. This is quite a unique guide.”
Examples in Doubling Down are poignant and timely, with loads of research underscoring their advice. Both authors shaped rigorous careers and crisscrossed the world in their roles while “doubling down” on their family needs in sometimes creative ways. They learned to be supportive partners, agree on compromises, and evolve in their professional identities while keeping family first.
Ilene Gordon served as CEO of Ingredion, a Fortune 500 company, and was named five times to Fortune’s “50 Most Powerful Women in Business” U.S. list, and twice to Fortune’s international list. Bram Bluestein held senior leadership positions at several of the most respected consulting firms in the world, including Boston Consulting Group, Kearney, and Booz Allen Hamilton.

La Dolce Vita — A Night of Awakening Your Creativity: ‘A Happying Event’ Set for May 5 at Books & Books in Coral Gables
A ‘Butterfly Awakens’ Book Event: Get Inspired by the sweet life of books, art, music, lite bites, and good food. The perfect boost of endorphins during May: Mental Health Awareness Month.
LA DOLCE VITA: A Night of Awakening Creativity
It’s time to wake up and remember to play.
CORAL GABLES, Fla., May 4, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Join S.H.I.N.E. Networking Inc. for A Night of Awakening Creativity guided by author Meg Nocero of The Magical Guide to Bliss and Butterfly Awakens, “A Happying Event” meant to inspire guests to awaken to La Dolce Vita and come alive to the beauty of dreams while remembering to play. This event will take place at the Books & Books in Coral Gables, Florida, on May 5, 2023, at 7 p.m.
When Miami resident Meg Nocero lost her mother to breast cancer, she found grief a force to be reckoned with, one that shifted her priorities from a successful but demanding career as an immigration attorney for the federal government to focus on her physical and mental health and find her bliss. Nocero created a guide, The Magical Guide to Bliss, seven years ago. After she followed it, she wrote Butterfly Awakens: A Memoir of Transformation Through Grief ($18.95, She Writes Press, September 2021), a unique story of what she discovered during this journey that brings readers through the grief process, her rejection of a toxic work environment, struggles with a medical diagnosis and a determination to place her faith in intuition. Nocero invites everyone to come along and come alive to the beauty of life and, of course, there will be dancing.
Under Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar of the Happiness Studies Academy, Nocero studied the science of happiness and created this “Happying Event,” a presentation based on the S.P.I.R.E. elements of whole-being happiness: Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Relational, & Emotional.
In that respect, S.H.I.N.E. Networking Inc. is pleased to host international painting artist Hector Prado, who will do a live painting. In addition, music artists Jon Saxx, Ava Simone, and DJ Lawrence Newberg will be performing. Dr. Ceci Shaw, author of “The Spell” and Quantum Energy Medicine Practitioner; Mike Zubi, lead instructor at Rode and motivational guru; and David Landau, editor extraordinaire, will present as well. It will be a night full of creativity, music, and dancing.
S.H.I.N.E. Networking and Meg Nocero are excited to invite everyone for an evening of magical inspiration. Enjoy the lite bites and BUTTERFLY drinks and PLAY. Meet the creatives and get inspired to begin your own journey. The Board of S.H.I.N.E. Networking Inc. will also present the 2023 Inspiration Award to actor and director Miguel Luciano for his role as teacher and director with the kids in Miami for over 15 years.

James Shapiro’s 1599: A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare Wins the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction Winner of Winners Award
The one-off award marks the 25th anniversary of the prize by recognising the outstanding work of all previous 24 prizewinners. Shapiro’s 1599: A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare won the prize in 2006 and explores the year that Shakespeare produced some of his greatest works

1599: A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare by James Shapiro is tonight, Thursday, April 27, named winner of the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction ‘Winner of Winners’ Award. The winner was announced by Chair of Judges, Jason Cowley, at a ceremony hosted at the National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh.
The Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction Winner of Winners Award marks the 25th anniversary of the UK’s premier non-fiction book prize by crowning the best work of non-fiction from the last 25 years of the prize. As the winner, Shapiro will receive £25,000.
The winner was chosen by a judging panel comprising of: New Statesman editor-in-chief, Jason Cowley (chair); academic, critic and broadcaster, Shahidha Bari; journalist, author and academic, Sarah Churchwell; and biographer and critic Frances Wilson. Their selection was made from a shortlist of six books, taken from the previous 24 prizewinning books.
In the course of 1599, Shakespeare completed Henry V, wrote Julius Caesar and As You Like It in quick succession, and produced the first draft of his greatest play, Hamlet. In his winning book 1599: A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare, Shapiro shows how The Bard progressed from his tale of two star-crossed lovers to Hamlet. Shapiro finds one question the most pressing: how did Shakespeare become Shakespeare – one of the greatest writers who ever lived?
James Shapiro is Professor of English at Columbia University, where he teaches Shakespeare. His earlier books have received international acclaim, including 1606: The Year of Lear, which won the James Tait Black Prize; 1599: A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare, which won the Samuel Johnson Prize; and Shakespeare in a Divided America, selected as one of the 10 best books of the year by the New York Times. Shapiro is also the author of Contested Will: Who Wrote Shakespeare?, Oberammergau: The Troubling Story of the World’s Most Famous Passion Play, Shakespeare and the Jews, and Rival Playwrights: Marlowe, Shakespeare, Jonson, and edited the Library of America anthology, Shakespeare in America. His reviews have appeared in The New York Times Book Review, Times Literary Supplement, the London Review of Books, and other publications. He has served on the board of directors of The Royal Shakespeare Company, and advises productions for the Public Theatre in New York and other companies. Shapiro was a collaborator on The King and the Playwright, a series he hosted for the BBC and also hosted the BBC The Mysterious Mr. Webster. In 2011, he was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is currently serving as a Booker Prize judge.
Jason Cowley, Chair of judges, says:
“1599 is a remarkable and compelling book. A history of four masterpieces and of so much more, it produces a life of Shakespeare, about whom so little is known, through an ingenious fusion of history, politics, and literary criticism. The result is a poised and original re-imagination of biography. Shapiro returns Shakespeare to the stage of his own world, and in so doing, he transforms our understanding – not only of the great works but also of the social atmosphere of his times. Erudite, accessible and formally bold, it will appeal to anyone interested in history, politics, literature and good writing.”
Peter Singlehurst, Partner at Baillie Gifford, says:
“The strapline for the Baillie Gifford Prize is ‘all the best stories are true’. But it is not necessarily their factfulness that makes these books so special, it is the stories about people, ordinary and extraordinary. Choosing one book seems an impossible task and we thank the judges for taking on the unenviable responsibility. Many congratulation to James Shapiro.”
Sir Leonard Blavatnik, Head of the Blavatnik Family Foundation, says:
“For twenty-five years, the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction has recognized immensely talented authors. We congratulate James Shapiro on this exceptional achievement. We are proud to be the long-time sponsor of the podcasts showcasing the short-listed books and their authors, as well as the annual celebratory gala in London when the winners are announced.”
