Drawing on wisdom from John Christianson's 25 years of experience advising some of the most successful wealth creators in the country, this book explores money emotional intelligence, roadblocks around money and relationships, kids and money, generosity, identity, and aligning your values with your money.

Download or read book The Purpose Playbook written by Kyle Dendy and published by . This book was released on 2018-03-17 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are you, as an individual, here on this Earth? If you're like most people in this world, you have no idea how to answer that question because no institution in society has made it clear how to make such a discovery on a practical level. In school, we're told to choose a route that will make the most money or "get the bills paid." In church, we're told that our purpose is to glorify God but not what that looks like for the person who isn't called to work in the church. In our families, so many other issues must be dealt with in the busyness of our fast paced lives that the question of purpose is never addressed or the idea of pursuing it never encouraged. The Purpose Playbook is not about seven steps to the good life that many gurus and self help books seek to lead you to. This book is the missing step by step guide to finding and following your own unique purpose so you can do what you were created to do, live the life you were created to live, and manifest what was placed inside of you. This book is for the student who must make life altering decisions without first knowing what their purpose is. This book is for the single mother of two kids who feels in her soul that she was created for more than her circumstances but doesn't know how to change them. This book is for the business professional who is making money that looks like "success" but feels empty inside. Whoever you are, no matter your age, race, background, or economic status, you have a purpose, and someone whose life depends on it is waiting on you to find it, follow it, and bring it into the world. If you are ready to do so, The Purpose Playbook is for you. Kyle Dendy is a voice of hope in his generation and is leading a purpose movement to bring clarity to the minds of millions around the world who are asking the question, "What is my purpose?"
Download or read book Tackle Life Head On written by Jeff Ogden and published by . This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I'm one of the ninety-percent who, for a brief time, got to live like the one percent." Ask a group of little kids what their dream job is and most will tell you they want to be a professional athlete. Their chances of actually becoming one, however, are less than one percent. Of those who do make it, the vast majority won't last for more than three years. Jeff Ogden was one of those rare few, overcoming a series of obstacles to have a five-year career with the Dallas Cowboys, Miami Dolphins, and Baltimore Ravens. Growing up in the small-town of Snohomish, in Washington State, Jeff appeared to be the last person who would play in the NFL, due in large part to the physical challenges he faced from birth. It was through a lot of hard work, inner reflection, faith, and the love of family that he entered the exclusive world of professional sports and played alongside some of the best athletes in the world. This book is a mix of anecdotes from his life-many uplifting and funny, others heartbreaking-and exercises designed to help the reader to identify and overcome their own challenges. Told with humor, humility and gratitude, Jeff's story is a testament to what the ordinary person can do when they are willing to do the work. More importantly, it is a playbook for anyone who thinks their goals are unattainable or their challenges insurmountable.
Download or read book The Playbook written by Jennifer Jacquet and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2022-07-12 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This brilliantly subversive and witty book lays bare the techniques of manipulation and disinformation that keep the rich and powerful rich and powerful. . . A landmark book' Brian Eno 'Very funny, as satire should be, until you realise it's deadly serious' Adam Rutherford, BBC Radio 4 Start the Week Knowledge is power. Which is why the rich and powerful don't want you to have it. The Playbook is an exposé of the extraordinary lengths that corporations will go to in order to spread disinformation and deny the scientific facts - around climate change, public health risks and worker safety - when they don't suit their agenda. Written in the form of a corporate handbook for tobacco, oil and pharmaceutical company executives, it is a litany of obfuscation techniques, denial, delays and outright lies, including: how to recruit an academic 'expert' who is willing to compromise their integrity (or is just short of cash), how to massage the statistics, how to use legal and even physical intimidation against reporters and activists, and how, just as in a casino, to keep your customers comfortable, unquestioning, unthinking and playing along for as long as possible. Part satire, part social history, part guide to resistance, The Playbook is a charge sheet against the powerful. It shows us how, by understanding the methods and motives of disinformation campaigns, we may be able to outwit them.

Some feedback we have received by users- "The Daily Playbook has literally changed my life! I am more focused and clear about what will make each day a good day.""I never knew how fun and easy it could be to set goals. Also I never knew the deep satisfaction I would feel in achieving them until I got the Playbook. Now I sleep a lot easier knowing I acomplished some great things and took some time to check in with myself.""I have never had confidence like I do today! I finished my first 90 days and after I thought I could just wing it again like I had the past 25 years of my life. Nope! I was wrong, I slid back into my old ways and the days passed without the achieving the accomplishments I was so used to getting with the planner. I ordered it again and started it back up and I am about halfway through my second copy. I cannot recommend this book enough!!!""This book will start to change your life from day 1! I have bought other journals before and planners and while this one is a bit lightweight and flimsy (like an actual notepad or playbook) it is worth every penny. The approach is equal parts logical and creative and is also inspiring with a good daily quote and questions and actions section that gets you thinking and inspires you to put yourself out there more. I love this book. Thank you Kaden James!""This book has helped me focus on what matters each day without getting overwhelmed by the big goals we set for ourselves years in the future.""The only planner you need. Seriously, with so many out there it's hard to choose which one to buy- let me make it easy, THIS IS THE ONE. I love it so much and it shows. Mine is already getting worn out and that's what makes it beautiful to me, it's actually being used." "I gave this Daily Playbook as a gift. I have a friend who has been struggling with feeling depressed and not knowing what he wanted to do with his life. He started using it and said it really helped him. He even convinced me to buy one and I have to say noticing and tracking my quiet time and getting myself in a state of joy has really helped me as well." "This book helped me get my life on track after a very difficult situation."
