Download or read book Born Losers written by Scott A. Sandage and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2006-04-30 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes somebody a Loser, a person doomed to unfulfilled dreams and humiliation? Nobody is born to lose, and yet failure embodies our worst fears. The Loser is our national bogeyman, and his history over the past two hundred years reveals the dark side of success, how economic striving reshaped the self and soul of America. From colonial days to the Columbine tragedy, Scott Sandage explores how failure evolved from a business loss into a personality deficit, from a career setback to a gauge of our self-worth. From hundreds of private diaries, family letters, business records, and even early credit reports, Sandage reconstructs the dramas of real-life Willy Lomans. He unearths their confessions and denials, foolish hopes and lost faith, sticking places and changing times. Dreamers, suckers, and nobodies come to life in the major scenes of American history, like the Civil War and the approach of big business, showing how the national quest for success remade the individual ordeal of failure. Born Losers is a pioneering work of American cultural history, which connects everyday attitudes and anxieties about failure to lofty ideals of individualism and salesmanship of self. Sandage's storytelling will resonate with all of us as it brings to life forgotten men and women who wrestled with The Loser--the label and the experience--in the days when American capitalism was building a nation of winners.

Download or read book Big Winners and Big Losers written by Alfred Allen Marcus and published by Wharton School Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What keeps great companies winning, year after year, even as yesterday's most hyped businesses fall by the wayside? It's not what you think -- or what you've read. To find the real answers, strategic management expert Alfred Marcus systematically reviewed detailed performance metrics for the 1,000 largest U.S. corporations, identifying 3% who've consistently outperform their industry's averages for a full decade. Many of these firms get little publicity: firms like Amphenol, Ball, Family Dollar, Brown and Brown, Activision, Dreyer's, Forest Labs, and Fiserv. But their success is no accident: they've discovered patterns of success that have largely gone unnoticed elsewhere. Marcus also identified patterns associated with consistently inferior performance: patterns reflected in many of the world's most well-known companies. Drawing on this unprecedented research, "Big Winners and Big Losers" shows you what really matters most. You'll learn how consistent winners build the strategies that drive their success; how they move towards market spaces offering superior opportunity; and how they successfully manage the tensions between agility, discipline, and focus. You'll learn how to identify the right patterns of success for your company, build on the strengths you already have, realistically assess your weaknesses, and build sustainable advantage one step at a time, in a planned and logical way.

Download or read book The Art of Execution written by Lee Freeman-Shor and published by Harriman House Limited. This book was released on 2015-09-14 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over seven years, 45 of the world's top investors were given between $25 and $150m to invest by fund manager Lee Freeman-Shor. His instructions were simple. There was only one rule. They could only invest in their ten best ideas to make money. It seemed like a foolproof plan to make a lot of money. What could possibly go wrong? These were some of the greatest minds at work in the markets today - from top European hedge fund managers to Wall Street legends. But most of the investors' great ideas actually lost money. Shockingly, a toss of a coin would have been a better method of choosing whether or not to invest in a stock. Nevertheless, despite being wrong most of the time, many of these investors still ended up making a lot of money. How could they be wrong most of the time and still be profitable? The answer lay in their hidden habits of execution, which until now have only been guessed at from the outside world. This book lays bare those secret habits for the first time, explaining them with real-life data, case studies and stories taken from Freeman-Shor's unique position of managing these investors on a day-to-day basis. A riveting read for investors of every level, this book shows you exactly what to do and what not to do when your big idea is losing or winning - and demonstrates conclusively why the most important thing about investing is always the art of execution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a highly satirical way of illustrating the 7 Habits of Highly Successfully Losers. If you want to become a winner, then don't do these habits! People do these habits without even realizing it! I don't actually want you to buy this book for a couple of reasons. 1) I'll become successful and a winner, I don't want to be a winner. I want to be a loser. 2) If you buy this book, then you'll learn what not to do and end up being a winner. I don't want that either, as losers want everyone else to be losers too!!! So, I don't think you really want to buy my book. Actually, I remember what my ex-wife said when she left me (she's a loser, she ain't ever going to find anyone better than me!). She said, "you're a nobody, you're never gonna be a somebody, you're a loser now and forever!" That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me...and now you want to try to take that away from me?? Is life never fair??!! Don't buy my book, be a loser with me. Look, it's hot today, and I can't be bothered trying to stop you anymore (trying is against the loser philosophy anyway). It's too hard, so I'm just going to give up. I'm going to fill up my little inflatable pool and sit in it for a while. Okay? Please don't buy my book. I don't want to become successful and I want everyone to be losers with me, it's cool being losers together!

Download or read book The Hunger Fix written by Pamela Peeke and published by Rodale Books. This book was released on 2013-09-17 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fight food addiction and overeating with fitness guides, recipes, and meal plans from renowned physician Pam Peeke. In The Hunger Fix, Dr. Pam Peeke uses the latest neuroscience to explain how unhealthy food and behavioral "fixes" have gotten us ensnared in a vicious cycle of overeating and addiction. She even shows that dopamine rushes in the body work exactly the same way with food as with cocaine. Luckily, we are all capable of rewiring, and the very same dopamine-driven system can be used to reward us for healthful, exciting, and fulfilling activities. The Hunger Fix lays out a science-based, three-stage plan to break the addiction to false fixes and replace them with healthier actions. Fitness guides, meal plans, and recipes are constructed to bolster the growth of new neurons and stimulate the body's reward system. Gradually, healthy fixes like meditating, going for a run, laughing, and learning a new language will replace the junk food, couch time, and other bad habits that leave us unhappy and overweight. Packed with practical tips, useful advice, and plenty of wit, wisdom, and inspiring stories of those who have successfully transformed their bodies, The Hunger Fix is a life-changing program for anyone (of any size) trapped by food obsession and the urge to overeat.

Download or read book Born to Win written by Louis Brittz and published by Struik Christian Media. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After Louis Brittz and his family became the victims of an armed robbery, abduction, death threats and rape, they experienced how, in Louis’s words, ‘By God’s grace we could walk out of that experience without any harm to our soul and spirit.’ They have experienced immediate wholeness and healing and people thought that they were either lying or possessed some kind of superpower. But Louis has realised that God had been teaching them for years to live according to certain principles. This, together with God’s presence, enabled them to deal with what had happened in such a remarkable way. Out of this experience Born to Win was born. We are born to win and everyone – from the most ordinary person to the super talented – can be a winner. It has been written into our DNA by God Himself. This book is not an action plan. It is an invitation to bring spesific areas of your life before God and ask Him to change you. Neither is it a book that tries to deal with every little issue that could possibly improve your quality of life. It will not tell you what music to listen to, where to spend your holiday or how drinking green tea will aid digestion. Louis focusses on matters that he believes are essential for living in victory. It is a journey through God’s resources to change his children into winners. Louis discusses topics such as: • Winners have lost everything • Winners are able to forget • Winners know who they are • Winners ask the hard questions • Winners can master their thoughts • Winners are baggage free Born to Win offers you a blueprint of the things that differ in the life of a winner from that of someone else, and will enable you to be more than a conqueror in all circumstances.
