Book Description
While people pleasers can be some of the nicest people you'll meet, they have an uncanny knack for finding themselves in relationships with controllers. Knowing how pleasers are motivated by duty and obligation, the controllers will persuade, cajole, argue, and convince, knowing they can erode the resolve of the pleaser rather quickly. This, of course, leaves the pleaser with residual feelings of hurt, anxiety, and resentment. Because pleasers are not as skilled in the art of coercion as the controller, they can collapse in feelings of futility. In the book, When Pleasing You Is Killing Me, Dr. Les Carter explains how the pleaser can become freed from futility by choosing to stay out of the controller's power games altogether. Drawing upon decades of counseling with a wide array of frustrated nice people, Dr. Carter gives sound direction to those seeking to reclaim their true selves. Relationship boundaries are explained, assertiveness is taught, and insights are offered as the reader is guided into a paradigm shift regarding the ways to respond to a controller.

Book Description
In this twenty-first century, our pastors are dying, churches are splitting, leaders are being exposed and ridiculed, and marriages and relationships are being destroyed-all because no one wants to die to self in order to serve. As I once did, have you ever thought about quitting and throwing in the towel because helping others has taken a toll on you? Have you ever felt like your life didn't matter, but you knew that God gave you a promise? Have you ever been hurt while trying to do what God called you to do? Have you felt like others have taken you for granted? Helping You is Killing Me will encourage you to hold on to your promise and cling to your dream, vision, and purpose. Don't quit. Don't leave. Don't stop pushing. Don't stop serving. Most importantly, don't step outside of God's will for your life. This is a test! Pastor Everett and his family moved to the central Florida area in 2005 from Atlanta, Georgia, after serving in ministry for more than 19 years at New Birth Church, where Bishop Eddie L. Long is the Senior Pastor and Trinity Chapel Church of God, where Bishop Jim Bolin is the Senior Pastor. He currently serves as the Executive and Worship Pastor at Celebration of Praise Church in Clermont, Florida, where Bishop Chris Dutruch is the Senior Pastor. In addition to serving as the Executive and Worship Pastor, Everett and his wife, Kateena, serve as the Marriage Ministry Directors. In 2001, Everett released his first CD, titled "I Am Yours." In 2008, he was appointed to serve as Chairman for the Church of God State Music Board for the state of Florida. He and his wife, Kateena, are the proud parents of Alexis, Kendra, and Everett Emmanuel.

How to Do Nothing

Pages : 257
Book Description
** A New York Times Bestseller ** NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY: Time • The New Yorker • NPR • GQ • Elle • Vulture • Fortune • Boing Boing • The Irish Times • The New York Public Library • The Brooklyn Public Library "A complex, smart and ambitious book that at first reads like a self-help manual, then blossoms into a wide-ranging political manifesto."—Jonah Engel Bromwich, The New York Times Book Review One of President Barack Obama's "Favorite Books of 2019" Porchlight's Personal Development & Human Behavior Book of the Year In a world where addictive technology is designed to buy and sell our attention, and our value is determined by our 24/7 data productivity, it can seem impossible to escape. But in this inspiring field guide to dropping out of the attention economy, artist and critic Jenny Odell shows us how we can still win back our lives. Odell sees our attention as the most precious—and overdrawn—resource we have. And we must actively and continuously choose how we use it. We might not spend it on things that capitalism has deemed important … but once we can start paying a new kind of attention, she writes, we can undertake bolder forms of political action, reimagine humankind’s role in the environment, and arrive at more meaningful understandings of happiness and progress. Far from the simple anti-technology screed, or the back-to-nature meditation we read so often, How to do Nothing is an action plan for thinking outside of capitalist narratives of efficiency and techno-determinism. Provocative, timely, and utterly persuasive, this book will change how you see your place in our world.
