Words Worth Books is pleased to announce that cultural luminary and mental-health advocate, Margaret Trudeau, will launch her new book The Time of Your Life on Tuesday, April 14, 7pm at Knox Presbyterian Church in Uptown Waterloo.
TICKETS: $5.00 OR TWO FREE WHEN YOU PRE-PURCHASE THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE.
As wife to the late Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, and mother to Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau, she has never been far from the public spotlight. In 2010 she came forward with her book Changing My Mind-- a candid memoir about her struggles to endure public scrutiny as the young wife to Canada's most chronicled leader, and her lifelong battle with depression and mental illness.
In The Time of Your Life is found the distillation of her hard-earned wisdom. She offers women an inspirational and practical approach to creating a healthy, happy, secure and satisfying future life. From dating and online romance to health practices and financial planning, The Time of Your Life explores the fundamentals needed for the best future by discussing cornerstone issues such as housing, money, sex, friendship and children.
Always a rebel at heart, Margaret looks at what the experts have to say and weaves through her own point of view, culling insightful and funny anecdotes from her early marriage to Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau when she was a twenty-two-year-old hippie from the west coast of Canada, to her life as a single mom raising three young boys in the often hostile glare of the media spotlight. Margaret's mental health challenges, her decision to leave her second marriage, the devastating loss of her son Michel and first husband Pierre, and her re-invention as a coveted spokesperson and fundraiser make her uniquely qualified to offer her own perspective on the choices women face in their fifties and beyond.
Practical, straightforward and filled with tips and ideas for living a rich life, The Time of Your Life is the perfect book for women of all ages.
Friday, March 27 from 4pm to 7pm at Words Worth BooksMeet and greet with authors Marc and Samantha Hurwitz, authors of Leadership is Half the Story
About the book:
Can you imagine a choreographer only training one dancer to lead while his or her partner sits in the lobby staring at the wall? Yet we do this all the time in organizations. Half the partnership is missing.
Leadership is Half the Story introduces the first model to seamlessly integrate leadership, followership, and partnerships. This research-backed, field-tested book contributes many new ideas and practical advice for everyone in an organization – from CEO to HR director to front-line manager to consultant.
All of us lead, not just those with the formal title. All of us follow, not just front-line staff. In great collaborations, one moment we are leading and then we flip to following; in other words, the relationship between leadership and followership is dynamic, context-specific, and ever-evolving. This empowering perspective opens up leadership to everyone, normalizes followership, and enables more productive and innovative collaborations. Candid discussions about both roles allow for better coaching, mentoring, skill development, and interpersonal agility, and result in stronger teams.
Marc and Samantha Hurwitz give us a category-busting book that “practically glows with energy and vision,” according to Marshall Goldsmith, executive coach and best-selling author of What Got You Here Won’t Get You There.

Only much later does Grace learn the story of her birth mother and decipher the mystery surrounding her true identity.
