Finally feel clear about Te Tiriti in a book beautiful enough to keep

New Zealand #1 bestseller guide to Te Tiriti o Waitangi: written by lawyer and educator Roimata Smail, and used by schools, councils, and organisations across Aotearoa.

Most of us were never properly taught what Te Tiriti really promised. Understanding Te Tiriti changes that. In just 30 pages, you’ll move from uncertain to confident, with a clear, factual understanding of what was agreed, how the English document differed, and why it still matters today.

But this book is unlike anything else on the subject. It’s short enough to read in an afternoon, written for adults who want the real story,  It is also beautiful. Original art work by artbyngawai and design by Sarah Healey make this a book you’ll want on your shelf, not tucked away in a drawer. People tell Roimata there’s healing and hope in knowing the facts and not feeling confused anymore.

Can't hurt him
Format: Paperback
I've had many conversations with different people about Goggins, and I would have to say it's been a near 50|50 split of people supporting him and people having issues with him. Here I will address the motivational aspect of the book: The transformation Goggins went through from his lowest of low points to his highs are extremely admirable. He had a rough start and numerous setbacks that would've been a decent reason to keep his way of life as it was, but he felt stagnant. So he decided to change it but going after one of the hardest things you can do- prepping for Seal training. Here I will address the methodology of his motivation: In short, to become a Seal isn't a mere accident. It is 100% intentful. 100% a team required feat and effort. In some instances of the book, Goggins mentions he struggled with some of his peers, maybe even head-butting ideology where he may have gone solo on some things or didn't quite agree with how a team was being run. He has his own self reflections on this various incidents. However, what I would like to note is that the self-reflection exists (*I listened to the audiobook as well which offered other insight not part of the book). I believe if you take what is necessary from the book: the motivation, the coaching, the curiosity or whatever you can get get out of the book that is a positive influence then that's great! There are plenty of people who do not like Goggins and because of that bias, they don't give credit to the content of his book. I would say, be an educated reader/consumer. There is always something to be learned/gained from other people's lives and experiences.

Thirty years on this earth… and this is the first book I’ve truly read from start to finish.
Format: Hardcover
Reading Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins didn’t just motivate me it shifted something inside me. It reminded me that struggle is universal, but mindset is the difference. He doesn’t stop when things get hard; he stops only when the mission is complete and then he looks for the next challenge. This book teaches you that obstacles aren’t there to break you, they’re there to build you. If you feel overwhelmed or stuck, this is the kind of book that wakes something up inside you. Stay hard. 💪🏾
