Download or read book The Quiet Rich written by Kevin J. Palmer and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2015-05-06 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finally, a book about how average folks do above average things in order to achieve financial freedom. More than a “how-to” book, this is an “I can” book that illustrates how connecting behaviors that naturally exist within one’s personality makes it easier for anyone to unleash success. In this book, the author disrupts covetous schemes to instead reveal morally principled stories about what truly makes America great and how those understandings can equalize wealth injustices and improve the human condition! After years of drilling down to what truly makes people successful, Wall Streeter, Behavioral Finance Researcher and Champion of Financial Justice, Kevin J. Palmer, has unlocked how a distinctive group of individuals he calls “The Quiet Rich” used a spiritual connection to their personalities to make cognitive decisions that created wealth. Palmer uncovers victorious interpretations from hundreds of study subjects whose activities translated into wealth, from a hitchhiker turned serial entrepreneur to a grandmother who made her fortune wisely investing cookie jar money. His less traveled path of underlying research has blended powerful lessons by correlating Secret Success Standards of The Quiet Rich into common personality types that fit all people. What makes this book unique is that, until now, wealth techniques have come from instructors declaring what they think will work for others. Here, one self-discovers personal achievement practices by synthesizing the experiences of ordinary people who became successful through interpreting spiritual-self and then applying actions that uniquely fit the personality. This is not a one-man mandate that tests how to get rich. Instead, it is a collective voice of many achievers who took individualized paths to attain wealth that intuitively leads others on their own exclusive journey so that it is genuinely effective. This book shines with applied wisdom, courage, and the confidence to build meaningful, fruitful lives while amassing wealth based on virtues learned from these quiet and rich Americans that no one has known until now!

Book excerpt: Throughout the Gospel of Mark, we find Jesus teaching His disciples how to live for Him. Those teachings are ours as well, that we too may learn to walk in the steps of Jesus. I've applied my experience in writing hundreds of devotionals to draw out of this precious gospel over 220 lessons on how to live a life that pleases God. I hold up my failures and difficulties to the light of the Word of God and show you how to rise above your own weaknesses by the love and power of God. Let Jesus teach you how to surrender to Him, for His victory in life is yours as well. Chances are, you have yet to experience a richly featured God who can handle the complexities that life throws our way. Step by step, let the gospel of Mark add more pieces of the puzzle to form a picture of Jesus that is rich and satisfying. It's time to go beyond platitudes to a richly featured faith in the living God and Savior.

Download or read book Richer Than a Millionaire written by William D. Danko and published by Million Dollar Press. This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richer Than A Millionaire A Pathway to True Prosperity Having taught thousands of students over our careers, it is clear to the authors that many young people are clueless about their direction in life. Yes, they want a career, and yes, they want a good life, but knowing what to do is to many quite a challenge. Some say they want to be rich, but they really don't know what that means. In a sense, to paraphrase the Italian Renaissance polymath Leonardo da Vinci, many are like ships on the high seas of life without rudders! They have tremendous potential but no direction. In our book, Richer Than A Millionaire A Pathway to True Prosperity, we hope to inspire and to point all people (but especially young adults and concerned parents and grandparents who want sound advice for the next generation) in what we believe is the right direction. This direction has been reinforced by over forty years of academic and consulting research on what it really means to be rich. Our approach relies heavily on tried-and-true social science research methods of personal interviews and large-scale structured surveys. In other words, we have more than our personal opinions to offer. While there are many self-help books about wealth or happiness, we believe our book is unique in that it combines these topics. We show that it is possible to be modestly wealthy and happy. In order to reach true prosperity- health, happiness, and wealth, in all likelihood behavior modification will be required. And change is hard. Benjamin Franklin understood this, as he concluded in The Way to Wealth essay 250 years ago: the people heard the advice, agreed with it, and then practiced the contrary.

Download or read book Therapy with a Coaching Edge Partnership Action and Possibility in Every Session written by Lynn Grodzki and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2018-05-22 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing “coaching skills” to a therapy practice and clients. In Therapy with a Coaching Edge, professional practice guru Lynn Grodzki offers a new, paradigm-changing therapy model—adding the leverage and action of a coaching approach to the wisdom and goals of psychotherapy. This book presents a set of powerful coaching strategies that have been adapted and designed specifically for therapy—to provide more reach and range for therapists and counselors while not requiring a wholesale abandonment of therapeutic principles. Using this model, therapists at all levels of experience can promote behavioral change without insisting on homework or rigid protocols. Clients can spot results in each and every therapy session. Resistance to treatment often softens and client retention improves. Grodzki gives new and veteran clinicians the skills to not only improve client outcomes, but also energize themselves as practitioners. Therapists feel empowered as they learn to ask compelling questions that generate "ah-ha" moments. They help clients go beyond a discussion of symptoms to explore topics of core values. They show clients how to make decisions based on both necessity and a vision of a better future. The model provides readers with just-in-time learning, to identify a skill when it is needed an then immediately apply the steps in a session. Grodzki, an expert psychotherapist and master certified coach, has proven herself to be a trusted voice for therapists through her writing and workshops; she makes the steps to using a coaching approach understandable by offering lively case examples, "your turn" exercises, and sample scripts to give her readers the confidence and context to move forward.

Download or read book The Nature of Things written by Rex Alphin and published by Brandylane Publishers Inc. This book was released on 2010 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In over eighty original essays, Rex Alphin presents us with a folksy, contemplative view of the beauty and wonderment of everyday life in the rural South. In these brief, introspective essays about his life as a farmer in Isle of Wight, Virginia, Alphin captures the simple moments of country life with the candor, grace and old-fashioned wit of a master storyteller. He writes about the rich experience of being connected to the land, about the joy and beauty of the seasons, and about the importance of the small but profound moments in life overlooked by so many. Watching a rain gauge fill after weeks of drought, digging peanuts, listening to old folks tell their stories, or remembering what it was like to fall in love the first time, Alphin discovers and shares those moments and the valuable lessons that come with them, reminding us of how astonishing life can be when we just pay attention. Underneath his descriptions of the death of a mule, the miracle of a kernel of corn growing eight feet tall, and teaching us the mysteries and beauty of farm life, we eavesdrop on a writer who, with the eagerness of a child, knows how to appreciate the power of simple things. The Nature of Things: Stories from the Land offers a singular perspective that will remind you to pause, remember, and appreciate life and the world's blessings.

Book excerpt: Newly married and established in her career as an award–winning newspaper journalist, Maggie Downs quits her job, sells her belongings, and embarks on the solo trip of a lifetime: Her mother’s. As a child, Maggie Downs often doubted that she would ever possess the courage to visit the destinations her mother dreamed of one day seeing. “You are braver than you think,” her mother always insisted. That statement would guide her as, over the course of one year, Downs backpacked through seventeen countries―visiting all the places her mother, struck with early–onset Alzheimer’s disease, could not visit herself―encountering some of the world’s most striking locales while confronting the slow loss of her mother. Interweaving travelogue with family memories, Braver Than You Think takes the reader hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, white–water rafting on the Nile, volunteering at a monkey sanctuary in Bolivia, praying at an ashram in India, and fleeing the Arab Spring in Egypt. By embarking on an international journey, Downs learned to make every moment count―traveling around the globe and home again, losing a parent while discovering the world. Perfect for fans of adventure memoirs like Wild and Welcome to the Goddamn Ice Cube, Braver Than You Think explores grief and loss with tenderness, clarity, and humor, and offers a truly incredible roadmap to coping with the unimaginable.

Download or read book Unafraid written by Carey Scott and published by Barbour Publishing. This book was released on 2018-07-01 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As women, we struggle to feel like we’re good enough because we are bombarded daily with messages that whisper, “Who you are is not okay.” We live in a world that tells us we have to look a certain way, live a certain lifestyle, have husbands who fit a certain mold, and have children that excel in every area of their lives. And rather than thrive in the life we have, we strive to create an existence that impresses others. This impossible treadmill leaves us with deep discontentment and a joyless existence. God doesn’t apologize for how He created us. And while we’re always being molded by our Creator, it’s only to shape us for the calling on our life—not so we can fit into a world we were never meant to: “Do not allow this world to mold you in its own image. Instead, be transformed from the inside out by renewing your mind. As a result, you will be able to discern what God wills and whatever God finds good, pleasing, and complete. Love others well, and don’t hide behind a mask; love authentically” (Romans 12:2, 9). What if we had the confidence to shed our fears and be who God created us to be—stumbles, fumbles, and all—relishing who we are rather than conforming to the world? Using an acrostic for the word AUTHENTIC, author Carey Scott unpacks 9 ways we can find the confidence we need to shine with fearless authenticity: 1. Accept Your Awesomeness 2. Unearth the Untruths 3. Try Loving Everyone 4. Hold on to Hope 5. Extend Forgiveness 6. Never Shrink Back 7. Trample the Negatives 8. Invest in Community 9. Camp in the Word of God Let’s link arms and commit to living authentic lives. . .together. Are you ready?

Download or read book The Reasoning Brain The Interplay between Cognitive Neuroscience and Theories of Reasoning written by Vinod Goel and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2017-04-03 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the centrality of rationality to our identity as a species (let alone the scientific endeavour), and the fact that it has been studied for several millennia, the present state of our knowledge of the mechanisms underlying logical reasoning remains highly fragmented. For example, a recent review concluded that none of the extant (12!) theories provide an adequate account (Khemlani & Johnson- Laird, 2011), while other authors argue that we are on the brink of a paradigm change, where the old binary logic framework will be washed away and replaced by more modern (and correct) probabilistic and Bayesian approaches (see for example Elqayam & Over, 2012; Oaksford & Chater, 2009; Over, 2009). Over the past 15 years neuroscience brain imaging techniques and patient studies have been used to map out the functional neuroanatomy of reasoning processes. The aim of this research topic is to discuss whether this line of research has facilitated, hindered, or has been largely irrelevant for understanding of reasoning processes. The answer is neither obvious nor uncontroversial. We would like to engage both the cognitive and the neuroscience community in this discussion. Some of the questions of interest are: How have the data generated by the patient and neuroimaging studies: • influenced our thinking about modularity of deductive reasoning • impacted the debate between mental logic theory, mental model theory and the dual mechanism accounts • affected our thinking about dual mechanism theories • informed discussion of the relationship between induction and deduction • illuminated the relationship between language, visual spatial processing and reasoning • affected our thinking about the unity of deductive reasoning processes Have any of the cognitive theories of reasoning helped us explain deficits in certain patient populations? Do certain theories do a better job of this than others? Is there any value to localizing cognitive processes and identifying dissociations (for reasoning and other cognitive processes)? What challenges have neuroimaging data raised for cognitive theories of reasoning? How can cognitive theory inform interpretation of patient data or neuroimaging data? How can patient data or neuroimaging data best inform cognitive theory? This list of questions is not exhaustive. Manuscripts addressing other related questions are welcome. We are interested in hearing from skeptics, agnostics and believers, and welcome original research contributions as well as reviews, methods, hypothesis & theory papers that contribute to the discussion of the current state of our knowledge of how neuroscience is (or is not) helping us to deepen our understanding of the mechanisms underlying logical reasoning processes.
