From an extraordinary partnership between a teacher and an administrator, best-selling Otherful is the easy-to-listen (and laugh-out-loud) book for those who’ve discovered that influence is mightier than control. Research-backed and practitioner-tested, it’s a brilliant resource for in-school PD, administrator leadership classes, and faculty retreats. Otherful reveals an ancient truth of leadership: the most formidable power isn’t force; it’s relationship building.

The Perfect Pep Talk!
Revisado: 12-01-23
I've read Otherful by Mike Kleba and Ryan O'Hara a few times. I've purchased multiple copies for my colleagues. I've even led a book study on their leadership principles. It's no secret that this book has influenced me and motivated me to be the best, most human (student)-centered teacher/leader I can be.
Still, there have been times in the last few years where I feel low. The pressures of being an educator are great: under-resourced, overworked, and expected to perform miracles. It's so easy to become cynical and demoralized.
It is in these moments when I need someone to sit with me and tell me that the "kid is more important than the carpet", my job is to understand my students, not fix them, and that I need to trust myself because I will always do what I think is right.
Since I can't call up Kleba and O'Hara, I downloaded this audiobook to listen to on my way into school each morning. It feels even more inspiring listening them talk to me, ground me in what is most important, and give me a pep-talk before the bell rings. They did a fantastic job creating the audio for this book; it feels like a radio drama with music and sound effects to make me feel like they are in the car with me.
Otherful is still one of the most influential resources I've used to improve my craft as an educator. Please download this book and listen to it when you are feeling burned out. It's the perfect pep-talk!

While plenty of entertaining books have been written about the history of alcohol and other intoxicants, none have offered a comprehensive, convincing answer to the basic question of why humans want to get high in the first place. Drunk elegantly cuts through the tangle of urban legends and anecdotal impressions that surround our notions of intoxication to provide the first rigorous, scientifically grounded explanation for our love of alcohol.

Alcohol and Creativity
Revisado: 07-25-22
My curiosity about the connection between alcohol and creativity led me to this book. It is an interesting account of the functional benefits of chemical intoxication (mainly alcohol and psychedelics). What I found fascinating is the polarization of the comments and reviews of this book. Obviously, alcohol is a polarized topic with many arguing for either total abstinence or intoxication.
I found Slingerland's book to be well-balanced and well-researched. I spent a good deal of time in the Notes and Bibliography sections researching various social psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and psychopharmacology literature. Although Slingerland argues that alcohol serves a functional role in human cultural life (to be more creative, culturally connected, and communally trusting), he does dedicate 20% of the book to Alcohol Use Disorder (alcoholism) and the real dangers of drinking to excess. Whether you agree with Slingerland's contention or not, the case studies described in this book are interesting in of themselves. This book sets out to understand why humans become intoxicated and is successful in doing so.
