Book Description
Donna Quesada had been teaching for about a dozen years when the first signs of burnout hit her. Rather than give in to her frustration, she reached for Buddha’s teachings, the Zen wisdom that formed the basis of her own longtime spiritual practice. She survived the semester and gradually rediscovered the joy in her job that had been progressively declining. In this wise and inspirational book, she shares the lessons she learned—lessons that revealed, time and again, that no matter the situation, it’s always about getting your head in the right place first. Resolution begins in our own minds. Some days, some semesters, and even some years will be more challenging and more wearisome than others, she warns. But in The Inspired Teacher, Quesada offers a lasting source of encouragement and Zen. Although the book draws from Eastern teachings, the wisdom is for everyone, regardless of personal background, creed, or faith. With elements of The Last Lecture as well as Chicken Soup for the Teacher’s Soul, this is the perfect gift for teachers—but also for anyone needing inspiration.

Book Description
#1 New York Times Bestseller REVISED WITH NEW MATIERAL Winner of the 2014 Living Now Book Award for Inspirational Memoir "An enormously smart, clear-eyed, brave-hearted, and quite personal look at the benefits of meditation." —Elizabeth Gilbert Nightline anchor Dan Harrisembarks on an unexpected, hilarious, and deeply skeptical odyssey through the strange worlds of spirituality and self-help, and discovers a way to get happier that is truly achievable. After having a nationally televised panic attack, Dan Harris knew he had to make some changes. A lifelong nonbeliever, he found himself on a bizarre adventure involving a disgraced pastor, a mysterious self-help guru, and a gaggle of brain scientists. Eventually, Harris realized that the source of his problems was the very thing he always thought was his greatest asset: the incessant, insatiable voice in his head, which had propelled him through the ranks of a hypercompetitive business, but had also led him to make the profoundly stupid decisions that provoked his on-air freak-out. Finally, Harris stumbled upon an effective way to rein in that voice, something he always assumed to be either impossible or useless: meditation, a tool that research suggests can do everything from lower your blood pressure to essentially rewire your brain. 10% Happier takes readers on a ride from the outer reaches of neuroscience to the inner sanctum of network news to the bizarre fringes of America’s spiritual scene, and leaves them with a takeaway that could actually change their lives.

Book Description
It is time to become the content creator and marketeer you always dreamed of being? If you have a smartphone, then you are ready to create and build an audience for your brand or business. You have the technology and this book will give you the knowledge and practical skills to use it. Smartphone Smart Marketing is the follow-up book to the successful title Smartphone Media Production. It is written by award-winning filmmaker, professional digital marketer and content creator Robb Wallace. Robb has over sixteen years of experience in the field as well as an award-winning degree in Broadcast Production. In 2016 Smartphone Media Production showed its readers how to plan, capture, edit and distribute content (branded photography, audio, video and live streams) with only their phones. In this updated and fully revised version, Robb is back with even more great content including chapters on content marketing, social media channels and social media strategies. Who is this book for? It is for people who; Don't know how to create content to market their brand. Don't have the funds for a marketing manager but are willing to put in the hard work and learn the skills. Don't have a big budget for expensive things like promo videos, marketing images, social media campaigns. Don't know where to start when launching a new business or product. Have tried and failed to create engaging content for social media and are looking for a guide. Aspire to be a social media influencer. Wish to enter employment as a marketing professional. Interested in digital marketing. Need real-world digital skills to grow their business. Are interested in entrepreneurial skills. Are looking to create better images, videos or live streams. So if you want a solid, no-nonsense, practical overview to content marketing and media production, using only your smartphone, Smartphone Smart Marketing is the book for you. The book includes cheat guides, best apps, worked examples and more. Let's get to work, buy your copy, grab your phone, it’s time to leave the competition behind. Acclaim for Smartphone Media Production from 2016 “Received! Dove in - Liked what I saw! Really useful stuff”. Peter Shankman “This book is fantastic and would highly recommend it for anyone starting to get into making videos on their phone.” Stewart Richardson professional photographer. “This book has helped me increase my understanding and develop some really good strategies on maximising the use of smartphones and social media in a variety of ways, from personal use through to improving business reach. Excellent stuff!” Amazon. “So impressed I hired him” Peter Syme adventure specialist and business owner. “As a self-employed business owner, keeping up with changes in technology can be overwhelming, I found this book full of great information, presented in a clear and practical way – full of advice and resources to keep you on your toes.” Chris Wain Unique Adventure Tours Scotland. “I am a gent of a certain age and have had to embrace technology and the Internet as an adult and not something that I have grown up with or was taught at school. I run a Facebook page and a small stall making and selling custom props and toys and wanted to take things to the next level and having no experience in media production this sounded perfect. From my perspective the book is full of all the basic information I needed to get started making the most of my Facebook page and filming video, taking photographs and getting them out there on social media to get the most impact. Then the book is also full of everything else needed to take things even further, how to follow up on the social media interest and even loads of information coming from a business point of view which I’m sure I will use down the line as I take things further. Overall this book had everything I needed to get me up and running on social media, producing what I feel is way better quality content than I could have ever imagined I was capable of and all with a single piece of hardware, my Smartphone, it’s amazing.” Big Al Monkeytron Collective.

365 Thank Yous
Author: John Kralik
Publisher: Hachette Books
ISBN: 1401396496
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
One recent December, at age 53, John Kralik found his life at a terrible, frightening low: his small law firm was failing; he was struggling through a painful second divorce; he had grown distant from his two older children and was afraid he might lose contact with his young daughter; he was living in a tiny apartment where he froze in the winter and baked in the summer; he was 40 pounds overweight; his girlfriend had just broken up with him; and overall, his dearest life dreams--including hopes of upholding idealistic legal principles and of becoming a judge--seemed to have slipped beyond his reach. Then, during a desperate walk in the hills on New Year's Day, John was struck by the belief that his life might become at least tolerable if, instead of focusing on what he didn't have, he could find some way to be grateful for what he had. Inspired by a beautiful, simple note his ex-girlfriend had sent to thank him for his Christmas gift, John imagined that he might find a way to feel grateful by writing thank-you notes. To keep himself going, he set himself a goal--come what may--of writing 365 thank-you notes in the coming year. One by one, day after day, he began to handwrite thank yous--for gifts or kindnesses he'd received from loved ones and coworkers, from past business associates and current foes, from college friends and doctors and store clerks and handymen and neighbors, and anyone, really, absolutely anyone, who'd done him a good turn, however large or small. Immediately after he'd sent his very first notes, significant and surprising benefits began to come John's way--from financial gain to true friendship, from weight loss to inner peace. While John wrote his notes, the economy collapsed, the bank across the street from his office failed, but thank-you note by thank-you note, John's whole life turned around. 365 Thank Yous is a rare memoir: its touching, immediately accessible message--and benefits--come to readers from the plainspoken storytelling of an ordinary man. Kralik sets a believable, doable example of how to live a miraculously good life. To read 365 Thank Yous is to be changed.
