Book excerpt: “Life is full of choices and decisions, and it’s clear in Fear Is a Choice that James chose not to be a victim of his circumstances. His vulnerability makes this book so relatable. James decided during one of the toughest battles in his life to be an inspiration for everyone who will follow. Fear Is a Choice is more than a great book—it’s a mentality.” — Akbar Gbajabiamila, host of American Ninja Warrior "Fear Is a Choice will inspire every reader to become better through invaluable lifelong lessons and powerful perspective. James teaches us that if we harness fear and meet life's challenges with faith, determination, and hard work there is nothing we can't accomplish." — Kyle Carpenter, USMC Medal of Honor recipient and national bestselling author of You Are Worth It "You don’t have to be a football fan to be inspired by James Conner. On the field, James has never backed down from an opponent. He scored the biggest victory of his life—beating cancer—with that same courage and resolve. Like one of James’s powerful touchdown runs, this very personal story will make you want to stand and cheer." — Pat Narduzzi, head coach of the University of Pittsburgh football team "When faced with the biggest adversity an athlete can face, James Conner chose every emotion but fear. In Fear Is a Choice, he shares his journey and his belief that we are all playing for someone who can’t. We must give it our best shot. A truly inspirational book by an incredible role model we all can learn from." — Brittany Wagner, star of Last Chance U

Download or read book Looking for Bruce Conner written by Kevin Hatch and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In a career that spanned five decades, most of them spent in San Francisco, Bruce Conner (1933--2008) produced a unique body of work that refused to be contained by medium or style. Whether making found-footage films, hallucinatory ink-blot graphics, enigmatic collages, or assemblages from castoffs, Conner took up genres as quickly as he abandoned them. His movements within San Francisco's counter-cultural scenes were similarly free-wheeling; at home in beat poetry, punk music, and underground film circles, he never completely belonged to any of them. Bruce Conner belonged to Bruce Conner. Twice he announced his own death; during the last years of his life he produced a series of pseudonymous works after announcing his 'retirement.' In this first book-length study of Conner's enormously influential but insufficiently understood career, Kevin Hatch explores Conner's work as well as his position on the geographical, cultural, and critical margins. Hatch finds a set of abiding concerns that inform Conner's wide-ranging works and changing personas. A deep anxiety pervades the work, reflecting a struggle between private, unknowable, interior experience and a duplicitous world of received images and false appearances. The profane and the sacred, the comic and the tragic, the enigmatic and the universal: each of these antinomies is pushed to the breaking point in Conner's work..."--Publisher's description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic, newly updated, is an indispensable source for anyone–from mid-level managers to CEOs–who must execute key business initiatives quickly and effectively. Once groundbreaking and now time-honored, Managing at the Speed of Change has helped countless business leaders learn how to orchestrate transitions vital to their organizations’ success. Rather than focusing on what to change, this book’s aim is far more valuable: It shows readers how to change. Daryl R.

Based on Conner’s long-term research and his decades of consulting experience, Managing at the Speed of Change uses simple, easy-to-understand language and elegant visuals to explore the dynamics of change, and in doing so, teaches readers • why major change is difficult to assimilate • what distinguishes resilient individuals from those who suffer future shock • how and why resistance forms • how people become committed to change • why organizational culture is so important to the success of change • the roles most central to change in organizational settings • why powerful teamwork is at the heart of achieving change objectives, and how to foster it In this pioneering book, updated for the twenty-first century, Conner demonstrates how both individuals and organizations can develop the capacity not only to endure change but to thrive on it.

Download or read book General Fox Conner written by Steven Rabalais and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2016-11-30 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2016 Army Historical Society Distinguished Writing Award. “Anyone interested in American military history will find it a treasure” (Karl Roider, Alumni Professor Emeritus, Louisiana State University). During World War I, Gen. Conner served as chief of operations for the American Expeditionary Force in Europe. Gen. Pershing told Conner: “I could have spared any other man in the A.E.F. better than you.” In the early 1920s, Conner transformed his protégé Dwight D. Eisenhower from a struggling young officer on the verge of a court martial into one of the American army’s rising stars. Eisenhower acknowledged Fox Conner as “the one more or less invisible figure to whom I owe an incalculable debt.” This book presents the first complete biography of this significant, but now forgotten, figure in American military history. In addition to providing a unique insider’s view into the operations of the American high command during World War I, General Fox Conner also tells the story of an interesting life. Conner felt a calling to military service, although his father had been blinded during the Civil War. From humble beginnings in rural Mississippi, Conner became one of the army’s intellectuals. During the 1920s, when most of the nation slumbered in isolationism, Conner predicted a second world war. As the nation began to awaken to new international dangers in the 1930s, Pres. Roosevelt offered Fox Conner the position of army chief of staff, which he declined. Poor health prevented his participation in World War II, while others whom he influenced, including Eisenhower, Patton, and Marshall, went on to fame. “A biography that is both dramatic and compelling.” —Mark Perry, author of The Pentagon’s Wars

Download or read book A People s History of Science written by Clifford D Conner and published by Bold Type Books. This book was released on 2009-04-24 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all know the history of science that we learned from grade school textbooks: How Galileo used his telescope to show that the earth was not the center of the universe; how Newton divined gravity from the falling apple; how Einstein unlocked the mysteries of time and space with a simple equation. This history is made up of long periods of ignorance and confusion, punctuated once an age by a brilliant thinker who puts it all together. These few tower over the ordinary mass of people, and in the traditional account, it is to them that we owe science in its entirety. This belief is wrong. A People's History of Science shows how ordinary people participate in creating science and have done so throughout history. It documents how the development of science has affected ordinary people, and how ordinary people perceived that development. It would be wrong to claim that the formulation of quantum theory or the structure of DNA can be credited directly to artisans or peasants, but if modern science is likened to a skyscraper, then those twentieth-century triumphs are the sophisticated filigrees at its pinnacle that are supported by the massive foundation created by the rest of us.

Hidden, sometimes very cleverly, in this book is a display of highly developed problem-solving and leadership displayed by Conner at a very young age. His seemingly natural ability to envision desired outcomes before taking any action was uncanny. Conner's ability to challenge himself with difficult and tiring tasks were seldom seen, or required of someone his age. he seldom, if ever, stopped to realize that he was doing some extraordinary things. Conner believed he was an ordinary boy doing very ordinary things. Athletically inclined, Conner learned to blend his athletic drive with his zest for life. He was always seen smiling, a happy-go-lucky kind of boy. His smile was contagious! Conner built on his personal strengths, while correcting only the weaknesses that seemed important for living a happy life.

Sample Book Insights: #1 I was never much of a journal writer. I loved the idea of having a rich spiritual life, but I was too busy with my consulting career to journal. That all changed on November 1, 1996, when I caught my husband sleeping with his secretary. I called him and told him I wanted a divorce. He didn’t say much, but he hung up on me. #2 When my husband began to kill me by his rages, I did not journal, I just sat and cried in the living room with the phone unplugged so I wouldn’t hear his threats. I felt like I had to vent my anger and fear, so I wrote thirty pages of furious, full-speed-ahead scribbling. #3 I would write down my thoughts and prayers every morning, and the Voice would always answer. I would write about my fears and weaknesses, and the Voice would write about strength and divine wisdom. #4 I began having conversations with my soul journal, and the Voice helped me shift my thinking. I wrote about how I was getting answers, and how my life was changing. I asked for miracles, and the next day my mother sent me ten thousand dollars.
