Download or read book Relentless Solution Focus Train Your Mind to Conquer Stress Pressure and Underperformance written by Jason Selk and published by McGraw Hill Professional. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From bestselling author and mental toughness expert Jason Selk comes a mind-training regimen for reframing every problem into an opportunity for productive action. The most common cause of failing to reach our professional and personal goals is hardwired in us: Humans instinctively focus on problems. Over millennia, our very survival relied on our ability to be alert to any potential dangers that could threaten our existence. But today this negativity bias significantly limits our potential and increases stress, pressure, and underperformance. The one characteristic all phenomenally successful people share is mental toughness. Mentally tough people are better at making decisions more quickly and with better results. They possess the uncanny ability to control what goes on between their ears. Instead of allowing their minds to focus on their problems when adversity strikes, the most successful people have learned to direct their thoughts in a systematic manner that produces positive emotions and productive actions: they have a Relentless Solution Focus. In this book, top performance coach Dr. Jason Selk—former Director of Mental Training for the World Series champions St. Louis Cardinals—and his colleague Dr. Ellen Reed provide the insight, tools, and proven step-by-step framework for you to do the same. When you have Relentless Solution Focus, you think better. Your decisions garner positive results. You take action and follow through—every time. And when you do get off track, you get back on with less effort and less drama. Weakness shrinks and strength grows, creating confidence and momentum, taking you and your team to higher levels of performance and achievement.

Book excerpt: Two children, one birthright. . . . Nineteen years after the Tree of Ice died to trap the dark Devourer in a time freeze on Earth, Earth has begun to thaw, and now Sarah and Ben's grown children must find their destined consorts to help them defeat the Devourer once and for all. Korrien Moontouched is the Heir of Light. As if the pressures of helping his mother and Queen lead their growing clan weren't enough, he and his twin sister have grown up knowing they are the keys to the Devourer's final defeat—to concluding the Battle for Earth, which has been frozen in time since before he was born, along with the rest of Earth. Yet, nineteen years after the battle, Earth's time thaw begins, throwing Rien into the Seven Realms' efforts to secretly protect humanity from their common enemy. The thaw also offers Rien his sole opportunity to find his consort—because Rien has to marry a pure human of Ice. But so far, the only young woman to have escaped the time freeze of Earth is nothing like what the logical, perfectionist prince had so carefully planned for himself. As feisty and unpredictable as she is pretty and petite, Sierra Knight encapsulates everything Rien finds aggravating . . . and irresistible. Serona Sunfilled is the Heir of Flame. Even so, the bright and bubbling young woman has only three goals in life: One, keep her oh-so-serious twin brother sane. Two, make her beloved papa and King proud. And three, find the mate the Tree of Flame promised her and live happily ever after. Yet things aren't quite that simple. When the Tree of Flame sends Rona to an unknown world in search of her consort, the dragon who awaits her is nothing like she had expected—and belongs to the rarest of Powers, one that can only be born from the dying embers of calamity. Suddenly, nothing is as perfect as the sunny princess believed it would be. Though Drevior is as tantalizingly handsome as he is scarred, he returns with her carrying secrets and sorrows—and he brings a dire warning of an entirely new threat to the Seven Realms . . . which he will risk everything, even his life, to deliver. For there are other dark powers besides the Devourer, and as the Devourer weakens and its defeat approaches, one of them turns its thirst on the Seven Realms. If the Realms and Earth are to survive the coming days, both Rien and Rona will have to claim their birthright and at last unite all four Powers of Life—Flame, Ice, Light, and Ember . . . . . . in one.

Download or read book Here Be Dragons written by Peter C. Newman and published by Douglas Gibson Books. This book was released on 2011-10-12 with total page 778 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The #1 national bestseller now revised and updated with a new Epilogue. Now aged 75, Peter C. Newman at last tells the story of his stranger-than-fiction life. Try to keep up as we follow his many lives: as a pampered child in a Czech chateau; a Jewish kid in short pants being machine-gunned by Nazi fighter planes on the beach at Biarritz, en route to the last ship to escape from France in 1940; as a refugee on an Ontario farm; as an outsider on a scholarship at Upper Canada College; as a Financial Post journalist, then an author whose Renegade in Power made Canadian politics dramatic and disrespectfully exciting for the first time; as the man who revealed the secrets of the rulers of the Canadian business world in The Canadian Establishment, and other huge business success stories, including The Establishment Man, on Conrad Black; or the millionaire who turned his back on business books and tackled Canadian history (Company of Adventurers and other triumphs), in a career where his work has dominated the bestseller lists in politics, business, history, and current affairs. In the midst of all this were his years at the Toronto Star and Maclean’s where, as editor, he took the magazine weekly – a huge accomplishment. He is still a legend there, where his columns continue to run. He knew and wrote about every prime minister from Louis St. Laurent to Paul Martin and every prominent Canadian – hero or villain – in between. Yet his most interesting character is – Peter C. Newman. Incredibly, this central figure known to millions of Canadians sees himself as a perennial outsider. In personal terms, the rich little Czech boy whose nannies never stayed talks frankly about his marriages and the women he has known before his ultimate marriage to his beloved Alvy. His enthusiasms – from jazz to the Canadian Navy, not to mention his adventures on his beloved sailboat – make for a rich portrait of an astonishingcharacter, one who never stops being controversial.

Download or read book The Dragon S Beasts written by Fred A. Wilson and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-06-14 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book of Daniel 2 reveals by symbols the successive empires/kingdoms of the world with a statue of a human figure of a head of gold, chest of silver, thighs of bronze, legs of iron, and feet of a mixture of clay and iron. Daniel 7, which describes four beasts (a lion, a bear, a leopard, and a terrible beast with ten horns), covers the same period in world history as in chapter 2. While the king of Babylon saw the majestic power and grandeur of the Gentile empire/kingdoms, Prophet Daniel saw their real character, beastly conduct, wicked rule, and profligate government. All the beasts (empire/kingdoms) were destroyed by the Messiah, Immanuel (the Stone), who the builders of the nations of man rejected and who is the cornerstone of the holy nation of believers. Revelation 12 describes the great dragon thrown down, the age-old serpent that is called the devil and Satan, he who continually deceives and seduces the entire inhabited world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. This usurping dragon would form successive compacts with mankind for the dominion of the earth. Revelation 13 shows the final compact between the nations of man and the man of sin, Satan (the dragons beasts), engulfing even the holy people (Israel, the churchthe woman on the beast in Revelation 17). When the stone finally destroyed the lawless kings of the nations/kingdoms, their rule was dispersed to the lots of nation-states created by the common peoplethe rule of commoners. These are the nation-states of democratically elected commoners. Revelation 13 (and 17) shows the rebellion and apostasy of our Christendom/Queendom of Babylon, the great nation-states of man setting themselves up against the son of man, Immanuel. Why the stone is about to crush Christendom of Babylon the great! And the stone that smote the image became a great mountain or rock and filled the whole earth (Daniel 2:3435). Yes, he is the rock of ages!
