Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The Fire No One Can StealA Father's Letters to His Son - On Time, Grit, and the Goal Worth Living For Some books are written for everyone. This one was written for a single person, a son, and that is exactly why it reaches all of us.When a father looked at the years stretching ahead of his boy, the roads he would one day have to walk alone, he did the only thing a father truly can. He sat down and wrote everything he knew. Not a lecture, but a series of honest letters, the kind spoken late at night when the house is quiet and there is finally time to say the things that matter. The Fire No One Can Steal is that collection, and it is at once one of the most tender and one of the most bracing books a young person, or anyone who loves them, will ever hold.It begins with a refusal to lie. The world, this father insists, will not carry you, but neither can it stop you. From that single honest truth grows a complete map for a life worth living. He names the quiet thieves of youth, the temptations that come smiling and steal the years an hour at a time, and warns, without fear-mongering, of drugs, the glowing screen, the algorithm that does not love you, and the gravity of the wrong crowd. Then he hands over the weapons that actually win a life: guard your time as the one currency you cannot earn back, build grit when talent runs out, keep walking when the work begins to burn, hold a goal worth everything, and never stop learning as long as you live.But this is far more than a book of warnings. It is a father's whole hard-won wisdom, laid out with unusual honesty across the real territory of a man's life: The craft of standing tall: earning money honestly and holding it wisely, guarding the health of body and mind, and building a good name that takes years to earn and a moment to loseWalking through the storms: unknown terrain, betrayal, the talk of others, and the rare strength of being able to move onThe bonds that hold a life: honouring your mother, standing by your siblings, choosing the one person you will share your life with, and never letting a busy world steal the people you loveGrowing big without hardening: humility as you rise, gratitude to everyone who lifted you, generosity given while your hands are still warm, and the search for something larger than yourselfBecoming, one day, a father yourself, and feeling at last everything these letters were trying to sayAnd running beneath it all is the beating heart of the book. A father telling his son, for the first time, the truth of where he came from, a sick and lonely childhood in a modest home, and the promise that boy made at a window that his own children would never know such a life. He tells of the weights he carried in the dark so the calm of his son's childhood would never shake. And he places a charge on his eldest: to take the head start that was bled for, become the best, and stand as the role model the whole family can look to with pride. All of it given freely, forgiving in advance, asking only one thing in return, that the fire be kept burning.Part field guide for a hard and beautiful world, part confession, part love letter, this is a father's voice preserved for the days he cannot speak. It is a book to give a son or daughter setting out into life. It is a book for any parent who has ever wished they could put their whole heart into their child's hands. And it is a book for anyone who needs reminding that today is a blessing, tomorrow is a mystery, and yesterday is history.Read it slowly. Keep it close. And when the road ahead grows dark, lift your eyes and remember that you were loved, by the hand that held yours, and holds it still.Keep your fire. Win your life.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Aftermath Why Everything You Do Comes Back, and How to Live So It Comes Back GentlyNothing you do ever really ends.Every word you speak, every choice you make, every thing you put off until tomorrow leaves a wake behind it. That wake keeps spreading long after you have moved on, long after you have forgotten the cause. And then one day it arrives. We call that arrival bad luck, or a hard season, or a crisis we never saw coming. Most of the time it is something simpler. It is aftermath, the delayed return of something we set in motion years ago.This book is about that return.Starting from day one of a life, Aftermath traces how consequence actually works. How cause and effect almost never sit next to each other in time, so we fool ourselves into thinking we got away with it. How small repeated choices quietly become the largest forces in a life. How four silent debts, in health, trust, money, and character, accrue in the dark and then call themselves in all at once. You will see how the words spoken over you as a child, the tracks laid down before you could choose, and the things you left undone are all still shaping the person you are today.But this is not a book about regret.It ends with something more useful. In plain, human language, with no jargon and no lectures, it offers a practical way to live so the aftermath stays light rather than crushing. How to think in wakes before you act. How to pay small debts early, while they are still cheap. How to read the long shadow of a choice while it is still a choice. And what to do when the bill has already landed, so you can face it, forgive it, and begin again from where you actually stand.You cannot undo the wake behind you. But you decide the wake ahead.Aftermath is an invitation to stop being surprised by your own life, and to start living light enough to carry it.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Some work is only noticed in its absence.When it's done well, nothing happens. The systems stay up. The morning arrives, unremarkable, and the people who depend on you go about their lives without once thinking your name. You are thanked rarely and blamed precisely. And then you go home, and someone asks how your day was, and you say: fine.The Weight We Carry is not a book about security. It is a book about the people who carry it.Drawing on thirty years spent in the narrow place between what an organisation wants to believe about itself and what is actually true, Dr. Shibu Valsalan writes with unusual honesty about the private cost of carrying responsibility no one sees - and how to bear it without losing yourself.Across six movements, this book sits with the things no framework prepares you for: The Weight - the invisible job, the pager at the dinner table, being held responsible for what you cannot controlThe Fear - the three-in-the-morning mind, the low hum of vigilance, the fear of being found out, and the day the thing you feared finally arrivesThe Loneliness - the moment the room goes quiet and the decision is yours aloneThe Decisions - being judged by outcomes and remembered by the integrity of how you choseThe Toll - what the work asks of a body and a soul, and how to keep some territory sovereignCarrying It Well - strength that bends instead of breaking, teaching the ones behind you, and the strange grace of one day setting the weight downThese pages are not instructions. They are companionship - the conversation the author wishes someone had had with him when he was young and frightened and pretending not to be.For the security leader, the executive, the doctor, the founder, the parent - anyone who carries something heavy for others - it offers two things to know before you begin: The weight is real. And you are not carrying it as badly as you fear.For the ones who answer the call at three in the morning, and say nothing of it at breakfast.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The book that takes you from 'I don't really understand this' to 'I can hold my own in any conversation about cybersecurity risk.'Cybersecurity risk management has become one of the most important disciplines of our age. Every organisation now depends on digital systems, and every digital system carries risk. The decisions made by risk professionals shape whether businesses survive, whether hospitals can treat patients, whether banks can serve customers, whether governments can deliver on their promises.Yet the literature on the subject is largely written for people who already know. The newcomer is left out. The curious professional cannot find a way in. The executive who needs to understand what their team is doing is offered books that assume what they do not yet know.A-Z Cybersecurity Risk Management for Beginners is the book that closes that gap.Across thirty-five chapters in seven parts, Dr. Shibu Valsalan takes the reader from absolute beginner to confident participant in the discipline. No prior knowledge is assumed. No jargon is left unexplained. Every framework, vocabulary term, and method is introduced from the ground up.The book is structured around its subtitle. The reader learns to build the function (understanding where risk management sits, the three lines of defence, the frameworks, the risk register, the supporting tools and habits). The reader learns to make the decisions (identifying risks, assessing them, choosing between treatment options, accepting risks consciously rather than by neglect). The reader learns to earn the trust (working with auditors, talking to boards, engaging regulators, building the relationships the work depends on).A dedicated chapter on Middle East and GCC frameworks gives the regional practitioner what no other introductory book provides: a clear treatment of the cybersecurity frameworks of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, and Kuwait alongside the global standards.This is Volume One of The Risk Discipline. The companion volume, Cybersecurity Risk Management for Practitioners, takes the working professional from competence to mastery.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - You don't lack motivation. You've just been waiting for it to arrive in the wrong order.You've been told that motivation is a feeling - an inner wind that comes, lifts you, and carries you toward the things you mean to do. So you wait to feel ready, wait to feel like it, wait for the wind to rise before you'll set out. And you've noticed, with a quiet shame, that the wind so rarely comes when it's wanted - and concluded that the people who accomplish things must simply have more of it than you do.In The Oar and the Wind, Dr. Shibu Valsalan offers a quiet correction that changes everything: motivation does not come before action and produce it. It comes after action, and is produced by it. You do not wait to feel like rowing and then row. You row - and the wanting arrives somewhere around the third or fourth stroke, generated by the rowing itself.Motivation is the wind: welcome when it blows, but fickle, unbiddable, and fatal to depend on. Action is the oar: always in your hands, indifferent to how you feel, and - this is the part almost no one believes until they try it - capable of generating its own wind.Drawing on a working lifetime among people becalmed on the calm sea of their own lives, Valsalan will not try to make you feel more motivated. He thinks chasing the feeling is the whole error. Instead, he teaches you to row: - Take the smallest possible stroke - shrink the action until refusing it becomes absurd- Master the cold start, the paper-thin wall that's dreadful to approach and nothing to pass through- Build a cadence you can keep on your worst day, not your best- Show up badly, and let the faithful poor days count- Survive the storm of resistance, the long flat middle, and the drift back into stillness- Take the return stroke without penance when you inevitably lapse- And discover the joy hidden in the stroke itself - the thing that turns a discipline into a loveThis is not a book about feeling ready. It's about learning to move when you don't - to begin from the cold and the stillness, and to build a rhythm that no longer depends on the weather of your moods.Set down the hope of a fair wind. Take up the oar. The crossing is yours, and it begins with the next stroke.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - A father wrote down everything he wanted his daughter to know - before he might not be there to say it.The world is not all kind. There are good and true people in it, but there are also a great many who are not - who will smile to your face and work against you behind your back, who are charming when it serves them and cold when it doesn't, who will take what they can and step over whomever they must. How do you send a daughter into that world strong enough to stand in it, clear-sighted enough not to be fooled - and good enough not to become like the very people who would harm her What No One Can Steal is one father's answer: part field guide to a difficult world, part letter of love. In thirty-four short chapters, Dr. Shibu Valsalan gives his daughter - and yours - the things he most wants her to carry: - That she was born enough. Her worth is not earned and cannot be stolen; everything else is built on that.- How to see clearly. Read people by what they do, not what they say. Recognize the smile that hides a knife. Trust slowly, trust few - and when someone shows you who they are, believe them.- How to stand strong. Be bold, not loud. Learn the word no. Don't shrink to fit. And know that your body is yours, the line around it yours alone to draw.- How to stay straight in a crooked world - and why integrity is worth its real cost, even when the dishonest prosper.- The one thing no one can ever take from you: a furnished mind. They can steal your money, your comfort, even your good name for a season - but what you have learned, by your own effort, no thief has ever found a way to remove. Make the building of your mind the great work of your young years.- How to survive what the world will send - betrayal, failure, and the deepest danger of all: becoming hard, becoming what hurt you. Stay good in full sight of evil. That is the greatest strength there is.Tender but unflinching, What No One Can Steal is a book to be read slowly and returned to often - a father's voice in your corner, reminding you to keep your eyes open and your heart open both, to build the mind no one can steal, and to go out into a world that is not all kind and be in it the strong and good and unbreakable thing you already are.For every daughter setting out - and every parent who wants to send something with her.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - You don't need to find your purpose. You need to stop searching long enough to see the one you already have.We've been sold a beautiful, cruel lie: that somewhere out there waits a single grand purpose with your name on it, and that until you find it, you're only passing time. Most people wait their whole lives for that thunderclap. It never comes. And they conclude they've failed at the one task that mattered - when really they were asking the wrong question all along.In The Small Why, Dr. Shibu Valsalan offers a gentler and far more honest idea, drawn from the Japanese notion of ikigai - not the optimization diagram the internet flattened it into, but the older, humbler thing it actually means: the reason the morning is worth rising for. And that reason, he argues, is almost always small.A first coffee in a silent kitchen. A row of tomato plants that need you. A piece of work you want to see finished. A person who'll be glad to see your face. These aren't consolation prizes for people who lack a 'real' purpose. For most human beings who have ever lived, they are the reason to live.Through quiet, deeply human stories - a dying man kept alive by his tomatoes, a young man who found his calling not by looking inward but by counting his glad mornings - this book dismantles the myth of the grand purpose and replaces it with something you can actually use. You'll learn to: - Take the inventory of small mornings - and discover the reasons you already have but never thought to count- Follow the quiet pull of genuine interest beneath the loud push of what you should want- Protect the unscored corners of your life from a world that turns every joy into a metric- Escape the tyranny of the impressive, and stop trading what makes you glad for what makes you look goodThe Small Why will not give you a method for finding your purpose. It will do something better: help you notice that a meaningful life was never one enormous reason pursued to its end, but a great many small whys, tended daily, until they quietly add up to a life you would not trade.The morning asks all of us the same wordless question: is there a reason to rise today This book is about learning, gently, how to answer it.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - There are two intelligences in a person, and we are taught only one of them.The first is the one the schools can see - the one that solves the problem on the page and earns the grade. But it is not the intelligence that decides whether you will be happy, whether you will be easy to love, or whether the people who live beside you will feel safe in the air you bring into a room. That is decided by the other intelligence: the slow, lifelong art of knowing what you feel, and why, and what to do once you know. And almost no one is ever taught it.In The Weather Inside, Dr. Shibu Valsalan offers a wholly fresh way of seeing the emotional life - not as a set of problems to be fixed, but as weather: a living climate that moves through us with its own fronts, storms, and seasons, which we can learn, at last, to read. Drawing on a lifetime spent in the quiet rooms of other people's trouble, he shows that emotional maturity is nothing mystical. It is the readable, learnable skill of feeling the first drop before the downpour, naming the storm honestly, finding the still centre at its heart, and - in time - becoming a kinder climate for the people who must live in the weather of us.Across six movements, the book moves from the self outward to others and back again: - The Weather - learning to see the inner climate you have lived in, unaware, your whole life- The Storm - how to stand in a surge of feeling without being swept out to sea- The Other Sky - reading the invisible weather of the people around you, and standing under their rain- The Climate We Make - the sobering truth that you are someone's weather, and the climate you inherited and pass on- The Long Seasons - grief, sorrow, and the slow weather that cannot be hurried- Becoming Weather-Wise - the quiet mastery of a life lived at peace inside everything it feelsThis is not a manual of techniques. It is companionship - the long, unhurried conversation the author wishes someone had had with him when he was young and weather-blind, written down for the ones who will never sit across from him. Written with special tenderness for a younger generation navigating comparison, distraction, and loneliness, it offers the one lesson we are never taught and most need: You are not the weather. You are the sky it moves through - and the sky is wide enough to hold all of it. …

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The average CISO lasts less than three years. This book is about the disciplines of the ones who endure.If you have moved from practitioner to leader, or expect to soon, you already know the gap. Technical excellence is necessary but no longer enough. The work is now about influence without authority, board reporting that lands, risk decisions made under pressure, crisis communication that ages well, and the personal discipline to do this for years rather than months.Cybersecurity Leadership: From Practitioner to CISO is a field manual for the senior security leader. Across forty-seven chapters in seven parts, Dr. Shibu Valsalan addresses the questions that matter most: ? How do you spend your first 90 days as a new security leader ? What does a board actually need to hear from you ? When should you pay a ransom, and when should you refuse ? How do you build credibility with engineering, the business, and the board ? How do you survive a major incident without breaking your team ? How do you build a programme that outlasts you ? What comes after the CISO role Each chapter opens with a scenario from real practice, develops the analytical content with sector-specific examples, flags the warning signs of trouble before they arrive, and ends with five questions designed to prompt honest reflection on your own situation.What you'll find inside: ? The practitioner-to-leader transition and what most people get wrong? Operating models, organisational design, and the economics of security? Quantitative risk in practice, beyond the heatmap? Reporting to the board, working with the audit committee, and engaging regulators? Programme areas at scale: identity, cloud, AppSec, data, OT, third-party risk, AI security? Hiring, retention, burnout, and the people side of leadership? Incident command, ransomware, crisis communication, and the day after? Geopolitics, AI, quantum migration, and the regulatory wave? Five working appendices: board reports, programme charter, incident command templates, first-90-days worksheet, recommended readingWhether you are stepping into your first senior security role, leading an established programme through change, or advising others who are, this is the book you can reach for at the moment you actually need it.Read it sequentially as a development guide. Reach for the relevant chapter mid-crisis.
