Book Description
Men and women 30 years of age and beyond are living during some of the most adventurous, yet incredibly treacherous years of their lives. The heavy responsibilities of making a living, nurturing and protecting important relationships, caring for their own physical and mental wellbeing, and adapting to the natural effects of the aging process, represent only a short list of the seemingly insurmountable stressors that can cause many people to experience what society refers to as a "crisis." The Hero Mindset will help shift your perspective from being that of a "victim of circumstance" when traumatic difficulties arise, to instead realizing that your challenges can represent the beginning of an epic hero's journey that you can embark upon. To accomplish this, The Hero Mindset will provide you with a very powerful yet simple-to-understand "map" that will help safely guide you through the seemingly insurmountable obstacles in your life, avoid the potential pitfalls that still lay in front of you, and arrive at the most meaningful and fulfilling "destinations" you could ever have dreamed possible!

Book Description
If you are planning a mass shooting, read this book. Girls, if your man is still a boy; guys, if your girl isn't keeping up her end of the bargain; if you can't seem to get the lifestyle you want, the woman you desire, or the purpose you need, read this now. An inspiring, brutally honest, sometimes hilarious look at the world we think we live in. The author went from zero to hero, from a good-for-nothing prodigal son and collector of participation trophies, to the Renaissance Man--chef-owner of a very popular restaurant, author of more than twenty books, successful Baroque artist and philanthropist--and all it took was a lot of hard work and discipline. That, and knowing exactly how the deck is stacked against us all, and how we can beat the system.

The Scout Mindset
Author: Julia Galef
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0735217556
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
"...an engaging and enlightening account from which we all can benefit."—The Wall Street Journal A better way to combat knee-jerk biases and make smarter decisions, from Julia Galef, the acclaimed expert on rational decision-making. When it comes to what we believe, humans see what they want to see. In other words, we have what Julia Galef calls a "soldier" mindset. From tribalism and wishful thinking, to rationalizing in our personal lives and everything in between, we are driven to defend the ideas we most want to believe—and shoot down those we don't. But if we want to get things right more often, argues Galef, we should train ourselves to have a "scout" mindset. Unlike the soldier, a scout's goal isn't to defend one side over the other. It's to go out, survey the territory, and come back with as accurate a map as possible. Regardless of what they hope to be the case, above all, the scout wants to know what's actually true. In The Scout Mindset, Galef shows that what makes scouts better at getting things right isn't that they're smarter or more knowledgeable than everyone else. It's a handful of emotional skills, habits, and ways of looking at the world—which anyone can learn. With fascinating examples ranging from how to survive being stranded in the middle of the ocean, to how Jeff Bezos avoids overconfidence, to how superforecasters outperform CIA operatives, to Reddit threads and modern partisan politics, Galef explores why our brains deceive us and what we can do to change the way we think.

How leaders can achieve something meaningful—transform a brand, a workplace, a technology, themselves—beyond holding an influential position. Do you want to do work that is worthy of your time and talent? Do you want to make your mark on your industry, company, or within your community? Are you satisfied with the fact that reengineering, quality improvements, and other changes never really make a lasting impact? Then you need to go beyond the techniques of improvement and learn the skills that it takes to be extraordinary. The power to be extraordinary is not one we are born with. Rather, it is a power that one can learn, and Tracy Goss helps executives realize this power. Here in this book for the first time, Goss makes her coursework available to the general reader. Goss’s unique methodology shows how you how you can “put at risk the success you’ve become for the power of making the impossible happen.” She positions executives to take on the future that they dream about. She teaches how to behave differently so that you are free of past constraints. She shows how you can be at home in the environment in which you are constantly surrounded by threats, and how to transcend the ordinary to make the impossible happen. Her work has resulted in many important life changes and organizational reinventions worldwide. “Goss offers powerful information, far above the glib self-help mush that already lines the shelves. She answers the fundamental question of why management fads do not work: the personal work has not yet been done.” —Library Journal
