Download or read book Dreams for Self Discovery written by Ph D William R Stimson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-04-26 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dreams we dream at night arise from a larger sphere of biological awareness rooted in our bodies and our brains, which predates our conceptual intelligence by untold millions of years. It informs us by means of seemingly nonsensical images that have the power to make a huge difference in our lives and in the trajectory of our civilization. Unfortunately, in the bulk of us it remains trapped within these and can neither get out into our lives nor into our endeavors. The problem is that, like Nazi physicists thought Einstein's theory nonsense, like the Roman Pagans thought Jesus's words nonsense, like the Catholic church thought Galileo's notions about the solar system nonsense, and like all too many of us today still view dreams as nonsense - when it does come forth to express itself to us, we dismiss it out of hand. We don't understand the language of our own dreams for the same reason that our predecessors couldn't understand the words of Einstein, Jesus, Galileo, Buddha, or the many others who managed to let out what was extraordinary in themselves. These individuals are now recognized as extraordinary for they changed the world, each in a most important way. They were initially misunderstood, it turns out, because they spoke in metaphor, the same language we find in dreams. There are any number of books on dreams that tell us what the authors presume to know about dreams from the vantage point of the particular science or psychological school of thought they ground themselves in. We've all read far too many dream books of that sort. This book is different. It's not a book about what anybody knows about dreams. Instead it focuses on what our dreams know about us, which is far, far more interesting, amazing, and potentially life-changing. Then, with a succession of real life examples it goes on to demonstrate exactly how we ourselves can avail ourselves of this knowledge. What's most impressive in these examples is how important and life-enhancing the information in each dream turns out to be for the dreamer and what a remarkable variety of intellectual, emotional, creative, sensual, and spiritual powers a simple dream can being forward in any one of us. This isn't just a book that informs, but one that transforms. It's impossible to read through the succession of interesting detective stories of dreamers making sense of their own dreams and not come away with a passing fluency in the language that released in each an understanding of their dream, which is the same language that released the genius of Jesus, Shakespeare, and Einstein. The language is metaphor - our native tongue. It's not that dreams don't make sense. It's that they make so much more sense than we do that it's not so easy to understand them. A group of individuals, like a chain of computers working together on the same problem, makes all the difference. It's like there is a super-mind in the room with us and to this larger intelligence the dream makes sense. Each example the book presents of this happening goes out of its way to detail exactly how the group process accomplishes this and precisely what kinds of mistakes can stifle its progress. So, in addition to being a book that concerns itself with the kinds of things dreams know about us, this is a book about exactly how we can find out precisely what dreams know. Expect the book not just to change the way you think about dreams. Expect it to change the way you live your life and do your work.

Download or read book The Lost Art of Closing written by Anthony Iannarino and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-08-08 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Always be closing!” —Glengarry Glen Ross, 1992 “Never Be Closing!” —a sales book title, 2014 “?????” —salespeople everywhere, 2017 For decades, sales managers, coaches, and authors talked about closing as the most essential, most difficult phase of selling. They invented pushy tricks for the final ask, from the “take delivery” close to the “now or never” close. But these tactics often alienated customers, leading to fads for the “soft” close or even abandoning the idea of closing altogether. It sounded great in theory, but the results were often mixed or poor. That left a generation of salespeople wondering how they should think about closing, and what strategies would lead to the best possible outcomes. Anthony Iannarino has a different approach geared to the new technological and social realities of our time. In The Lost Art of Closing, he proves that the final commitment can actually be one of the easiest parts of the sales process—if you’ve set it up properly with other commitments that have to happen long before the close. The key is to lead customers through a series of necessary steps designed to prevent a purchase stall. Iannarino addressed this in a chapter of The Only Sales Guide You’ll Ever Need—which he thought would be his only book about selling. But he discovered so much hunger for guidance about closing that he’s back with a new book full of proven tactics and useful examples. The Lost Art of Closing will help you win customer commitment at ten essential points along the purchase journey. For instance, you’ll discover how to: · Compete on value, not price, by securing a Commitment to Invest early in the process. · Ask for a Commitment to Build Consensus within the client’s organization, ensuring that your solution has early buy-in from all stakeholders. · Prevent the possibility of the sale falling through at the last minute by proactively securing a Commitment to Resolve Concerns. The Lost Art of Closing will forever change the way you think about closing, and your clients will appreciate your ability to help them achieve real change and real results.\
