Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • At last, a book that shows you how to build—design—a life you can thrive in, at any age or stage • “Life has questions. They have answers.” —The New York Times Designers create worlds and solve problems using design thinking. Look around your office or home—at the tablet or smartphone you may be holding or the chair you are sitting in. Everything in our lives was designed by someone. And every design starts with a problem that a designer or team of designers seeks to solve. In this book, Bill Burnett and Dave Evans show us how design thinking can help us create a life that is both meaningful and fulfilling, regardless of who or where we are, what we do or have done for a living, or how young or old we are. The same design thinking responsible for amazing technology, products, and spaces can be used to design and build your career and your life, a life of fulfillment and joy, constantly creative and productive, one that always holds the possibility of surprise.

Download or read book Create Your Ideal Life written by Mary Zahm and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-07-08 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some pursue happiness — Others create it! — Anonymous The chief purpose of Create Your Ideal Life is to empower you to proactively (intentionally and consciously) and continually create your ideal life in a joyful and balanced fashion by following the holistic (emphasizing the importance of the whole and the interdependence of its parts) Life Creation Process described in it. Following the Life Creation Process will help you to gain the level of self-understanding required to optimize the quality of your life and achieve personal growth. As you read this book, you will be introduced to the key concepts of applied psychology of personal adjustment and growth. The term applied indicates that the material provided is practical and that you can readily use the concepts provided to create and control your self and your life. The words psychology of personal adjustment indicate that one focus of the book is upon “... the individual’s response to the physical, psychological, and social demands of the self, other people, and the environment” (Napoli, Kilbridge & Tebbs, 1996, p. 4). The words psychology of personal growth indicate that another focus is upon “... the process by which the individual changes his or her thoughts, feelings, or behaviors regarding the self, others, or the environment” (Napoli and others, 1996, p. 4). Additionally, you will learn effective strategies for exploring life choices and making decisions, managing life changes, changing self-defeating beliefs and habits, coping effectively with stress, and developing effective interpersonal relationships. You will also discover the important role that essential beliefs and core values play in the decision-making process and the problems that can arise out of value conflicts. I have provided true stories from my own life and from the lives of my family members, friends, and students to clarify and underscore key points. The stories are all true. However, some of the names were changed to protect each person’s privacy, except in cases where permission was granted to use the person’s real name. Throughout this book, I have used a cinematic (pertaining to the movie industry) analogy to explain the spiritual, psychological, physical, and social issues involved in personal adjustment and growth across the life span. I have used the cinematic analogy to both simplify and dramatize the key concepts in the holistic Life Creation Process in order to make them easier for you to understand, learn to use, and remember. In addition to the mnemonic (memory-enhancing) value of the cinematic analogy, I believe it makes the complex concepts involved in the holistic Life Creation Process easy to discuss with and teach other people. Most people are already familiar with the meaning of most of the movie industry terms used such as star, actor, screen image, script, cast, producer, director, and sequel, and they understand how all the key aspects of a movie can either contribute to its success or ruin the entire project. Therefore, using the cinematic terms makes it easier for people to comprehend how all the key aspects of their Ideal Future Life must be harmonious in order to achieve the desired results. As you complete the Life Creation Process Exercises, you will be directed to analyze the key aspects of your Present Life and create a script for your Ideal Future Life using techniques that are similar to those employed by successful movie stars, directors, producers, set designers, and script writers (e.g., DiTillio.;, 1995). You will also be guided to identify the Transitional Life goals that you will need to achieve in order to segue from living your Present Life to living your Ideal Future Life. The Ideal Future Life that you design at this present time is definitely not all there is or will ever be possible in your life. As you grow and change, you will update your vision of your ideal life. Learning the tools and techniques used in the Life Creation Process Exercises will empower you to continually recreate your Ideal Future Life through planned sequels in order to keep your life well balanced and overflowing with happiness and spiritual joy. The resources used for this book reflect my multidisciplinary approach to the Life Creation Process as well as my positive psychological orientation. I have included concepts from the traditional scholarly social-psychological literature, the popular self-help and self-improvement literature, and the media (plays, movies, tv, newspapers and magazines). The material includes both multidisciplinary academic resources and popular self-improvement resources that I have used, and found to be beneficial, during my own explorations in personal adjustment, growth, and Ideal Future Life creation. Most of the new material in this revised version of Create Your Ideal Life is from information that I have incorporated into my lectures, in-class exercises, and course assignments over the past 15 years.

Download or read book The Ideal Business Formula written by Pat Rigsby and published by . This book was released on 2018-05-30 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pat Rigsby asked himself one vital question: What is business success for me? Because feeling like his business owned him, instead of the other way around, certainly was not part of his definition of success. He vowed to make a change and, after much research, Pat Rigsby's IDEAL business was formed. He created a business based on his life goals, which transformed his life into something that was ideal for him and his family. Now, he's sharing everything he's learned to help you do the same. The IDEAL Business Formula is the quintessential guide designed to help you combine professional success with personal satisfaction in a way that most people think is impossible. By using his IDEAL Business Rules and Principles, Pat Rigsby takes the guesswork out of creating a business and life of fulfillment. Furthermore, he elaborates on concepts such as creating business guardrails, defining a niche, and establishing a brand--and so much more--to provide each step necessary to building a business and life you love. Stop compromising your personal life for your business (and vice versa) and starting living your IDEAL life today What others are saying about The IDEAL Business Formula: "If you're looking to build a business that is rewarding in every way, Pat is the man that can help you. He'll give you a proven formula for personal and professional success." Lewis Howes, New York Times Best-selling Author(R) "Pat Rigsby is the perfect mentor for entrepreneurs. He's not only very successful, but he's achieved that success both the wrong way--suffering from overworking, stress, and burnout--and a more sustainable approach with more balance. The IDEAL Business Formula is a blueprint for a better approach to business--and life." Adam Bornstein, New York Times Best-selling Author(R) "This book is a MUST for anyone who wants a more fulfilling business. If you want to enjoy your business more and create more IMPACT in the universe, Pat gives you the blueprint with his IDEAL Business Formula book. Definitely a MUST read for any fitness or wellness professional looking for more business development and personal growth." Todd Durkin, Author, The WOW BOOK & The IMPACT Body Plan, Trainer, NBC STRONG Member, Under Armour Performance Training Team "Starting a business is challenging. Managing growth of that business is even more challenging. Establishing the lifestyle that you want that actually includes that business is nearly impossible. If there's anyone who can show you how, it's Pat Rigsby--and that's why this book is a must read. As you read it you'll find yourself nodding your head and asking 'Why didn't I think of that?'" Eric Cressey "There are countless generic business resources that may assist you in developing a profitable business. Where Pat differentiates himself from all the others is that not only is he the model guide to profitability (he's done it himself more than once), but he stands alone as the leader in how to build the perfect business for YOU. The IDEAL Business Formula provides the framework for creating a successful business without creating a monster that steals away all of the important things. You'll learn how to keep everything in its place to overcome the obstacles preventing you from creating a unique, high-production business, and how to design, create, and master the process of building your IDEAL life." Bill Hartman
