Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Gives you the key to unlocking your full potential for greater success, achievement, and personal power in every area of your life.” —Brian Tracy, New York Times-bestselling author of Eat That Frog! All too often, the challenges we face seem overwhelming. Where do we start? What if we fail? But bestselling author John Izzo argues that almost every problem, from personal difficulties and business challenges to social issues, can be solved if all of us look to ourselves to create change rather than looking to others. And with the research to prove it, Izzo shows that by seeing ourselves as the locus of control rather than the victims of change, we are happier, less stressed, and more powerful. Izzo shows how taking responsibility changes our careers, our companies, our lives, and our communities. This book is filled with stories that illustrate the incredible power of stepping up: a homeless man who started a recycling revolution, a middle-aged Italian shopkeeper who fought back against the Mafia, two teenagers who ignited an antibullying movement, an executive who turned a dying division into a profit center, and a few employees who created a multibillion-dollar product for Starbucks, and many more. This second edition includes a new chapter on the Stepping Up Continuum, a model that looks at six ways to know if you are stepping up or stepping back, as well as fresh stories and a self-assessment tool for helping leaders create a culture for stepping up in their organizations. We have the power within ourselves to move mountains—we just have to decide that we are the ones to do it. “Insightful and inspired!” —Marshall Goldsmith, #1 New York Times-bestselling author

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There will come a time, a moment, whether in this lifetime or in another, when the soul will reach a stage when it needs to know more. It will no longer be satisfied with ambling along. It wants to get hold of its destiny, face it, and see where it is going, what it has achieved, and what other lessons are needed And then the soul, of its own volition, will become the captain of its ship, it will guide its own destiny, it will face the turbulent seas and storms and steer it through to calmer waters. This book offers a basic knowledge of spirituality. It answers questions that have been presented to the author over many years of facilitating workshops, giving talks, and seminars both in the UK and internationally. It also gives us guidance in how to find the inner self. Here is a quote from the book: As we continue the path and we start stripping off the layers that bind us, we will notice a different us emerging. That new person may be a little unfamiliar, a little uncertain, but at least its a more honest person. Gradually we get to know this person better, and as our confidence builds up, we will find an inner surge of strength and fortitude to carry on even more strongly in our search. This inner person is the real usthe beautiful light that has been hidden behind the scars, the jewel that has been polished by all the experiences of our struggles and battles, the rose that has been waiting to blossom by all the fruits of our endeavours, the one true being who is one with the universe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stepping in the Now is focused to be a YA contemporary that revolves around the life of Prayaag—a sixteen year old boy who’s walking on the path of pursuing his parents’ dream of becoming a doctor, but secretly he wishes to be a writer and that means crushing and stomping over his parents’ dream; Jeeval—a sixteen year old girl who’s lost both of her parents at a very young age, as a result of which she’s emotionally closed herself off completely until she meets Prayaag at the same coaching centre; Samtha—a lady they meet in a basement slam sort of place who’s stepped out of a horrible marriage—she’d to do because of parental pressure—and that has left her devastated and unable to trust anybody; Abhinav—Jeeval’s brother and a medical repeater at the same coaching centre, who’s also dealing with his past demons along with his sexuality and the current pressure of cracking the entrance test that leads him on to a very dangerous path (drugs); Sameer—Jeeval and Abhinav’s cousin who owns a freaking bookstore so Prayaag envies him downright (I mean, who wouldn’t?); and a stranger they come across with or rather with his diary—Arjav—who dreamt about watching every possible corner of the world. The trio of Jeeval, Abhinav and Sameer enter Prayaag’s life like a hurricane, stirring him from top to bottom, and make him question all the things he’s been doing wrong—Arjav’s diary acts as a very good catalyst. And so, Prayaag mixes with them like hot chocolate does with warm milk; changing its colour and making it taste better. That diary contains nothing more than four pages in which the stranger—Arjav, had written about transcending each and every factor that was holding him back from following his heart, living the life he’d always imagined. That diary creates a chaotic mess inside Prayaag’s head. He is constantly juggling himself between his and his parents’ dreams. In between all this chaos, they discover a place of solace, SOUL’s, an extension of coffee corner—where they all always sit to spend some time together. SOUL’s is every writer’s dream-come-true—where people could take the centre stage and share their words with people who are greedy and needy for them. That’s where they meet Samtha for the first time. She touches Prayaag’s life in a different and stupefying way. The way they both are walking on the path of medical science yet have a secret desire of becoming a writer develops an instant connection between them. Samtha is a frequent performer at SOUL’s and Prayaag never once misses any of her performance, even if that means bunking his classes. She isn’t just a random performer for him; she’s his friend, philosopher and guide, who helps him in clearing a lot of his mess. As time passes by, Jeeval, Prayaag, Abhinav, Sameer, and Samtha grow to be inseparable part of each other’s lives—with an addition of Bilal, Abhinav’s secret companion. Through series of events like—chatting with Samtha on life and philosophy; meeting his childhood best-friend who is a fashion designing student—something she wanted to do all her life; a book launch at Sameer’s bookstore—where a young bestselling author of an inspirational novel shines his thoughts on how taking two steps forward on your account, to make yourself happy, and a step back-dragged by others is still one step forward; meeting Arjav and knowing his story—Prayaag finally gets the courage to write his story, take a step toward his dreams, believe in them and make others (his parents) believe in them too. The story takes a turn when they are on a road trip. Jeeval has issues celebrating her birthday as the day on which the accident that killed her father clash with that day. But trying to shoot it out and to leave all the scars behind, they go on a road trip to meet Arjav. Through his diary they manage to find Arjav, who now stays in Udaipur. On their trip back home, their car meets with an accident as a result of which Prayaag has a near-death experience and an acute memory loss…that leads to some blank spaces on his memory but not enough to make him forget his passion and his love and his I-could-do-anything-for-them-and-that-is-mutual-too friends. Stepping in the Now isn’t just about Prayaag following dreams. It’s also about: Jeeval: who carries her I-don’t-care-about-anyone-but-me façade yet deep down she feels deeply—not just for Prayaag—for everyone around her; who falls for a boy who tries to push her away consistently, but she sticks to her ground and make that boy realize—push-away-s don’t work when the fire is burning with equal intensity on both the sides. Abhinav: who is constantly fighting with himself ever since his parents died four years ago, and even before that by keeping a major part of him a secret. Being a medical repeater he has more pressure on him. Getting involved with drugs, he is almost on the path of ending his life, but with the help of his friends-slash-family he finds a new and brighter path for himself. Samtha: a lady who’s stepped out of a horrible marriage and is trying her best to find an anchor within herself; who thought life’s just a means to wait for death, finally realizes that a flower has to wilt after blooming but that shouldn’t bring a pause to the beautiful phase of blooming. The story ends with Prayaag writing his story and continuing his journey with Jeeval, Abhinav giving himself another chance…giving his life another chance, and Samtha—who initially stopped believing in love and relationships—ending up with Sameer.

In Stepping Forward, Richard C. Harwood gives us a new and inspiring blueprint to rediscover what we share in common and actively build upon it. As a trusted civic voice, he argues that to get the country moving in the right direction, these efforts must start in our local communities. Harwood shows us how we can reach within and beyond ourselves to address our shared challenges and create more purpose and meaning in our lives by— • Being a part of something larger than ourselves and truly making a difference in our communities • Refocusing on the desire for good in each other • Unleashing a greater sense of shared responsibility • Finding the courage and humility to take such a path Americans are yearning for answers to the country’s rampant polarization, hate speech, and gridlock. Stepping Forward shows us how to channel our frustrations, energies, and aspirations to get on a more hopeful path.
