Download or read book The Inner Light written by Sumaa Tekur and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2022-11-22 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is for those looking to dip their toes, and then some, into the waters of spirituality without getting caught in the whirlpool of spiritual consumerism. The growing uncertainty of the economic climate and ever-increasing anxieties about our health and wellness have made it more urgent than ever before to seek a life of stillness, balance, and perspective. As we adjust to a new reality, our inner world is cracked open to reveal the state of our spiritual health. We are now left questioning the fragility of our egos that crumble in the face of a threat to our assumed identities of work and relationships.

This book shares wisdom on how to wade through the labyrinth of pathways that make up the journey to a more conscious spiritual lifestyle. Rich with anecdotes from the author’s own experiences and fellow seekers, The Inner Light is a handy guide to prepare readers—aspirants and sceptics alike—for what to expect when they set out to integrate spirituality into everyday life.

The book answers the question: How can I walk this path with awareness to improve my understanding of life? It’s for those of us who ask: Where do I even start? What is spirituality?
Download or read book The New Corner Office written by Laura Vanderkam and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-07-21 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on her 18 years of experience working remotely, plus original interviews with managers, employees, and free agents who've perfected their remote routines, Laura Vanderkam shares strategies for productivity, creativity, and health in the new corner office. How do you do great work while sitting near the same spot where you watch Netflix? How can you be responsive without losing the focus necessary for getting things done? How can you maintain and grow your network when you spend less time face to face? The key is to detach yourself from old ways of working and adopt new habits to match your new environment. Long before public health concerns pushed many of us indoors, some of the most successful people fueled their careers with carefully perfected work-from-home routines. Drawing on those profiles and her own insights, productivity expert and mother of five Laura Vanderkam reveals how to turn "being cooped up" into the ultimate career advantage. Her hacks include: • Manage by task, not time. Going to an office for 8 hours makes you feel like you've done something, even if you haven't. Remote workers should set 3-5 ambitious goals for each day and consider the work day done when these are crossed off. • Get the rhythm right. A well-planned day features time for focused work, interactive work, and rejuvenating breaks. In place of a commute, a consciously chosen shut down ritual keeps work from continuing all night. • Nurture connections. Wise remote workers can build broader and more effective networks than people sitting in the same cubicle five days a week. Whether you're an introvert or an extrovert, a self-starter or someone who prefers detailed directions, you can do your clearest thinking and deepest work at home--and have more energy left over to achieve personal goals or fuel bigger professional ambitions. In fact, soon you might find it hard to imagine working any other way.
Download or read book Nice Guys Can Get the Corner Office written by Russ C. Edelman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2008-07-31 with total page 296 pages.

Book excerpt: How to succeed without being an SOB—or a pushover Many people suffer from Nice Guy Syndrome, held back from higher levels of success by being too selfless at work. It’s a tricky problem, because if you start to think that being nice is bad, it’s easy to overcompensate with selfishness, intimidation, and intense aggression. The founders of Nice Guy Strategies teach that nice is not about being weak or soft—that you can hang on to your morals, compassion, and sincerity and still get ahead. The key is to draw on eight practical strategies— The Nice Guy Bill of Rights—that will help you find the right balance. Each chapter shares insights and stories from both ordinary nice guys and celebrity executives.
Download or read book Unmistakable written by Srinivas Rao and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stop trying to beat everyone else. True success is playing by your own rules, creating work that no one can replicate. Don't be the best, be the only. You're on the conventional path, checking off accomplishments. You might be doing okay by normal standards, but you still feel restless, bored, and limited. Srinivas Rao gets it. As a new business school graduate, Srinivas's dreams were crushed by a soulless job that demanded only conformity. Sick of struggling to keep his head above water, Srinivas quit his job and took to the waves, pursuing his dream of learning to surf. He also found the freedom to chart his own course. Interviewing more than five hundred creative people on his Unmistakable Creative podcast was the ultimate education. He heard how guests including Seth Godin, Elle Luna, Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, and Danielle LaPorte blazed their own trails. Srinivas blends his own story with theirs to tell you: You can find that courage too. Don't be just one among many--be the only. Be unmistakable. Trying to be the best will chain you to others' definition of success. Unmistakable work, on the other hand, could only have been created by one person, so competition is irrelevant. Like Banksy's art or Tim Burton's films, unmistakable work needs no signature and has no precedent. Whether you're a business owner, an artist, or just someone who wants to leave your mark on the world, Unmistakable will inspire you to create your own path and define your own success.

Download or read book Morning Resolve written by Patrick Allen and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-12-02 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Morning Resolve," an Episcopal prayer printed on the inside front cover of Forward Day by Day, is a "help me tend my spiritual garden" prayer. It asks for God's help in living a simple, sincere, and serene life--by repelling negative thoughts and attitudes (discontent, anxiety, discouragement, impurity, and self-seeking), cultivating positive attitudes (cheerfulness, magnanimity, charity, and the habit of holy silence), exercising graceful activities (economy in expenditure, diligence in appointed service, fidelity to every trust, and a childlike faith in God), practicing faithful daily habits (work, study, prayer, physical exercise, eating, and sleep), and depending on God for the strength and the will to do so. This unique devotional book for personal or small group discipleship/spiritual formation utilizes this daily prayer to guide readers as they examine and meditate on a portion of the prayer each week and examine and employ spiritual disciplines. Ultimately, the intentional crafting of a simple, sincere, and serene life is a spiritual discipline, too. Morning Resolve will guide readers into the spiritual practices that bear good fruit for a grace-filled life.

Book excerpt: Growing up on the South Side of Chicago, Margot Langford was never afraid to compete – even with the boys. As a famed member of the Public Defenders Murder Task Force, Margot had reached the top of her game, defending everyone from petty thieves to alleged murderers. When it came to moving up the ladder of success, Margot let nothing and no one stand in her way. That all changed when Margot met her nemesis and new boss Justin Reilly, one of the city’s most respected trial lawyers at one of the city’s most prestigious law firms. A legal genius and ladies man, Justin was used to winning - and getting everything he wanted. He wanted Margot. When Justin hands Margot the case of a lifetime, she’s primed to prove herself. But in the midst of her race to the top, Margot is sidelined by her feelings for her charismatic and handsome client - Victor Rios: a man who was like catnip to women. And Margot was not immune. But Justin had plans for Margot that didn’t include competition from any man. Little did he know someone had plans for him as well; plans that would leave him dead on his office floor.
