Download or read book Who Do We Choose To Be written by Margaret J. Wheatley and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2017-06-19 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the twenty-fifth anniversary of the publication of her classic Leadership and the New Science, bestselling author Margaret Wheatley once again turns to the new science of living systems to help leaders persevere in a time of great turmoil. I know it is possible for leaders to use their power and influence, their insight and compassion, to lead people back to an understanding of who we are as human beings, to create the conditions for our basic human qualities of generosity, contribution, community and love to be evoked no matter what. I know it is possible to experience grace and joy in the midst of tragedy and loss. I know it is possible to create islands of sanity in the midst of wildly disruptive seas. I know it is possible because I have worked with leaders over many years in places that knew chaos and breakdown long before this moment. And I have studied enough history to know that such leaders always arise when they are most needed. Now it's our turn.

Download or read book Who You Choose to Be written by Carrie Spratley and published by Follow It Thru. This book was released on 2019-06-13 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all have choices in life in both the big and the little, and ultimately Who You CHOOSE to be matters, according to the author, Carrie Spratley. Carrie came to a place where she realized how much more impactful it was when she chose to steward everything that happened as a gift. Carrie wrote this book to inspire others, so that they, too, could see things in a way that would generate more hope, more confidence, and more impact for this side of eternity. 17 years ago, Carrie was diagnosed with an illness that took away her ability to be a great wife, mom and friend. She knew that she had a choice, deciding how to navigate this illness. Everything in her said fight and fight hard. She had people who were counting on her, and she knew she was worth being set free. Carrie put on her manufactured smile and implemented everything she could to become well. After 10 years, Carrie finally began having more wins than losses and God graciously blessed her with the gift of healing. She chose wellness. She chose to fight. She chose to be a victor and not a victim. Being grateful for what God had done, Carrie decided to pay it forward and help other people with similar struggles; a holistic health coach was born. Carrie has collected proven tools and strategies to guide people into their purpose-filled, most authentic life possible. After 25 years of marriage to her husband, Eric, being on the other side of illness, and having raised three amazing young men, Jared, Garrett, and Caleb, Carrie realized that she has had some really contrasting life experiences. By the world's standards, she has been living what some would call the "highlight reel." However, most of those experiences paled in comparison to what space filled Carrie's heart when she decided to move in the direction of serving others. She did some serious heart-searching on what it was she was specifically being called to do. Carrie became a health coach, because being sick robbed her from 10 years of being the best version of herself possible. She was given the gift of healing, and she wanted to make sure that people knew there was a better way. Carrie wanted to learn everything she could so she could help others with their health issues. Carrie understands that what helped her nutritionally may not be best for each individual she desires to help. Therefore, she learned a broad spectrum of different nutrition theories, and she values helping people find what works best for them on a bio-individual basis. If having a better understanding of whom God created you to be interests you, and if you have a nagging space in your heart you need to fill, Carrie invites you to take a journey with her through this book to help discover how to tap into the good life: the life God intended you to live! Who You CHOOSE to be matters, and you do get to CHOOSE!

Download or read book You Are What You Choose written by Scott de Marchi and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2009-11-12 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hidden patterns behind the way we make decisions Several recent books, from Blink to Freakonomics to Predictably Irrational, have examined how people make choices. But none explain why different people have such different styles of decision making—and why those styles seem consistent across many contexts. For instance, why is a gambler always a gambler, whether at work, on the highway, or in a voting booth? Scott de Marchi and James T. Hamilton present a new theory about how we decide, based on an extensive survey of more than thirty thousand subjects. They show that each of us possesses six core traits that shape every decision, from what to have for lunch to where to invest. We go with “the usual” way of deciding whenever there’s a trade-off between current and future happiness, when facing the risk of a bad outcome, or when a choice might hurt other people. We’re also consistent about how much information we want and how much we care about the opinions of others. Readers can determine their own decision-making profile with a test in the book. Once they understand the six core traits, they’ll have a big advantage in their marketing campaigns, management strategies, investments, and many other contexts.

Download or read book The Paradox of Choice written by Barry Schwartz and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether we're buying a pair of jeans, ordering a cup of coffee, selecting a long-distance carrier, applying to college, choosing a doctor, or setting up a 401(k), everyday decisions—both big and small—have become increasingly complex due to the overwhelming abundance of choice with which we are presented. As Americans, we assume that more choice means better options and greater satisfaction. But beware of excessive choice: choice overload can make you question the decisions you make before you even make them, it can set you up for unrealistically high expectations, and it can make you blame yourself for any and all failures. In the long run, this can lead to decision-making paralysis, anxiety, and perpetual stress. And, in a culture that tells us that there is no excuse for falling short of perfection when your options are limitless, too much choice can lead to clinical depression. In The Paradox of Choice, Barry Schwartz explains at what point choice—the hallmark of individual freedom and self-determination that we so cherish—becomes detrimental to our psychological and emotional well-being. In accessible, engaging, and anecdotal prose, Schwartz shows how the dramatic explosion in choice—from the mundane to the profound challenges of balancing career, family, and individual needs—has paradoxically become a problem instead of a solution. Schwartz also shows how our obsession with choice encourages us to seek that which makes us feel worse. By synthesizing current research in the social sciences, Schwartz makes the counter intuitive case that eliminating choices can greatly reduce the stress, anxiety, and busyness of our lives. He offers eleven practical steps on how to limit choices to a manageable number, have the discipline to focus on those that are important and ignore the rest, and ultimately derive greater satisfaction from the choices you have to make.

Book excerpt: Hey, you. Are you debating whether to destroy something with your bare hands or curl up on the couch for a decade or two? This book will solve all of your problems. (Sheesh, that's aiming a bit high.) This book is a cup of hot coffee, a ginormous bar of chocolate, or the magical fairy that comes over and does your dishes while you lie in the fetal position clutching a fluffy pillow. Sometimes when life falls apart the only acceptable response is hysterical laughter. When things get so far gone, so spectacularly a world away from any plans you made or dreams you dreamed, you feel it bubbling up inside of you and you scream, "It's not fair!" And it isn't. Fair is an illusion, and life is weird. This book will help you laugh at life's absurd backhands. This book is an empathetic groan of our collective unfairnesses. You might want to throw it across the room, and you might want to hug it like your new best friend. This book is about us sitting down together in our shared mess, taking a deep breath, gripping hands, looking the hard stuff in its beady little eyeballs, and bahahahaaing at it. Life's not fair, but we can learn to love this life we didn't choose.
