AN ALA NOTABLE BOOK AN ILA TEACHERS CHOICE A KIRKUS REVIEWS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR Arthur T. Owens grabbed a brick and hurled it at the trash picker. Arthur had his reasons, and the brick hit the Junk Man in the arm, not the head. But none of that matters to the judge—he is ready to send Arthur to juvie forever. Amazingly, it’s the Junk Man himself who offers an alternative: 120 hours of community service . . . working for him. Arthur is given a rickety shopping cart and a list of the Seven Most Important Things: glass bottles, foil, cardboard, pieces of wood, lightbulbs, coffee cans, and mirrors. He can’t believe it—is he really supposed to rummage through people’s trash? But it isn’t long before Arthur realizes there’s more to the Junk Man than meets the eye, and the “trash” he’s collecting is being transformed into something more precious than anyone could imagine. . . . Inspired by the work of folk artist James Hampton, Shelley Pearsall has crafted an affecting and redemptive novel about discovering what shines within us all, even when life seems full of darkness. “A moving exploration of how there is often so much more than meets the eye.” —Booklist, starred review “There are so many things to love about this book. Remarkable.” —The Christian Science Monitor

I used to think I would never be able to run a marathon as 26.2 miles was an impossible distance. When I envisioned marathon runners, they were a separate category of humans. Occasionally though, just for a moment, I would imagine how great it would feel to cross that finish line. What an accomplishment! Just as quickly as the thought entered, I would laugh and shake it out. Nope, not possible. Just like that, it went into storage; a place in the back of my mind I call the impossible box because once a dream was closed inside I wouldn’t even try. It would sit there next to the other things I thought I could never do or the goals I would accomplish someday. Can you relate? If you do, this book is for you. Not just inspirational, it explains methodologies to enact behavior changes to help you dream big, set goals, and follow through. By the time you get to the end of this book you will have the tools and motivation you need to succeed. Throw out your impossible box. Take the steps that will move you in the direction you want to go and don't stop until you get there.

José Ortegay Gasset was so impressed by the power of metaphors that he compared them to a tool for creation which God forgot inside of us when he created man. When I asked myself where metaphors get this tremendous power from, I realized that mankind has an even much more powerful tool at its disposition: Mental Imagery. Mental Imagery is the key to achieving our goals and the internal screen on which we project our dreams. It allows us to simulate procedures; familiarize with environments and situations before we get to know them in "real life"; It helps us to relax, but just as well will arouse us or prepare us for future actions. With the help of Mental Imagery, we can build confidence and readiness, stimulate healing and recovery, change our behaviour or literally borrow the mind of a genius. How to learn and implement this power and benefit from its many advantages, is what this book is all about.
