Book excerpt: Why Complacency Kills is a groundbreaking book that unearths the greatest dilemma across life and business of our time - complacency. Through relatable metaphors, scientific analogies and personal anecdotes, Hassan Younes takes us on a journey that outlines the hidden issues holding us back and jeopardizing advancement, as he unveils the path to better health, happiness and success in career and business. Hassan's writing is dynamic and engaging, speaking on a level that appeals to everyone. His book is sure to spark growing interested in the impacts complacency can have for us. If being at your best in career, business or life is one of your priorities, then you will find it hard to put this book down unless you start implementing some of his suggestions right away in order to improve your life immediately! From the outset, Hassan outlines the concept of success as being an innate human ability programmed into our DNA. This launching point sets up the parameters for what is to come. Hassan frames the aspects of behaviour that drive our success, he reasons envy and jealousy as natural processes, and in doing so, disarms anyone experiencing these emotions as you flick through the pages ahead. His wisdom as a thinker comes to the forefront through the assertion that complacency essentially hinders our path to success. Happiness is elusive, he says, and contentment lulls people into achieving less than they can achieve. Younes champions the importance of making change to avoid such stagnation. Innovation of the mind, spirit and thought, force people to grow; and mental inertia is very much a real thing. Pay attention to the company that you keep, drink up the wisdom shared in the following chapters, as surely when you reflect upon these, as they may well save you from a death of sorts by the real threat that is complacency. Since you have picked up this book or perhaps it has found its way into your hands by chance, it probably is the right book for you to read right now. Whether in life or business, the constructs Hassan Younes explores are as relevant to both. Yet, when we look at the slim success rates businesses face these days, this book may hold the insights that can make the difference between make or break of the later. Understanding just how undermining and dangerous complacency can be to us in all areas of our lives means that moving forward we can be aware, take preventative steps and employ strategies to by-pass the potential threats of complacency. You will uncover why we all need to do this in these pages.

Book excerpt: Why do some people succeed while others don't? What elevates the greats from the average? How can you leverage their secrets to maximize your life? The answer is not some X-factor from God, the universe, or luck. The successful have learned contentment without complacency. The Killing Complacency philosophy demonstrates how to become extraordinary by using definiteness of purpose and deliberate practice. By eliminating complacency thinking, you shift your mindset from limited and scarcity to growth and prosperity. Examples from the Bible to modern biographies reveal there is a process, rather than a divine zap, that creates greatness. Are you ready to shift into high gear and pursue success? If so, this book provides key insights into building ambition, maximizing your results, and getting out of your own way. "The world is full of people in need, but perhaps the greatest need is for an end to complacency and limiting beliefs." - P. Huber Why Kill Complacency? The world can be a far better place, with abundance for everyone, if we can just kill the creeping scourge of complacency. From the first-world to third-world, we all benefit from the death of complacency. Resurrecting Ambition We have all seen the ugly side of ambition resulting in a myriad of bad behaviors. However, the answer is not to suppress ambition, but to direct it. We know the pain caused by a lack of contentment, but let what we call contentment metastasize into complacency. Killing Complacency offers a reconciliation of contentment without complacency; ambition without envy; and a guide for setting the trajectory to your destiny. Maximizing Your Life The world needs more than just a few successful people - the world needs you and everyone else to produce the maximum level of success. Success is your duty. The good news is that humans are designed to continually grow our abilities long after we leave the educational system. We are able to produce far more than we imagine, and have the power to drive to even higher levels the definition of "average." Scroll back up and order your copy now.

Download or read book Kill the Company written by Lisa Bodell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-21 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the ever-changing world of business, we've arrived at a point where process has trumped culture, where the race toward efficiency has left us unable to reach our potential. Stuck in the land of status quo, we've forgotten how to think. The very structures put in place to help businesses grow are now holding us back;; it's time to Kill the Company. This book is a call to arms: to start a revolution in how we think and work. But instead of more one-size-fits-all change initiatives forced upon employees, we need to embrace small changes that create ripple effects throughout the organization. Lisa Bodell urges companies to move from "Zombies, Inc." to "Think, Inc." Thinking can no longer be exclusive to the creative team or lead strategists. A culture of curiosity must be fostered among the ranks to shake up our standard practices, from unproductive meetings to go-nowhere strategic planning. This revolution can and will awaken our ability to think, and ultimately, to innovate and grow.
Download or read book WHY COPS DIE And How to Prevent It written by Gerald W. Garner and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides time- and experience-proven advice for responding safely and effectively to threats to a law enforcement officerfs safety. It relies on law enforcementfs bloody history to reveal what has gone wrong for a very long time — and how to fix it so that no more cops die needlessly. This book identifies the cop killers and the fatal errors that cops make, and it explores how these incidents happen and why. Most important of all, the book goes into detail about how to prevent these terminal errors and furnishes to-the-point advice for avoiding them. These tactics and techniques work. It offers the same common sense advice that solid patrol sergeants have been sharing with their briefing room charges for a long while. It has been assembled by a police chief who spent 15 years as a sergeant. WHY COPS DIE can be used in a lot of ways, all of them useful for drastically reducing the number of officers who die on the job every year. It should be issued to every law enforcement academy recruit. It is aimed across the spectrum of the law enforcement organization from the rookie to the first-line supervisor to the command staff. Chiefs and sheriffs will find it of value, as will those directly responsible for the training of law enforcement officers. By applying practical, potentially lifesaving advice to their daily duties law enforcementfs first-line practitioners can sharply reduce the number of peacekeepers who die or are maimed in the future. That effort begins here.

Book excerpt: Master Sergeant (Ret.) George E. "Chik" Hand IV, better known as geo to the public. geo served for 10 years with the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta, colloquially known as Delta Force. As the U.S. Army's premier counterterrorism, hostage rescue, and direct action Special Missions Unit (SMU), Delta Force has been at the tip of the spear of the American military ever since the Iranian hostage crisis in 1979. To serve there, a man has to climb physical and mental mountains; to remain there, a man has to show remarkable consistency and professionalism. Before his assignment to Delta, geo served in the 7th and 1st Special Forces Groups as a Green Beret.A rare wordsmith, geo is a master of the English language. But, it takes more than that to create a compelling memoir, especially one so heavily focused on others. Indeed, it takes empathy and emotional intellect. By empathizing with his subjects, geo puts you right next to them. You can see them breaching a door; you can smell their sweat after an operation; you can hear the radio chatter and the Little Bird helicopters whooping above; you can sense the joke that's about to crack and send everyone rolling; you can feel the pain of loss and the emptiness that death carves. That's why readers of all ages and walks of life rally around his stories.

Download or read book Church of Cowards written by Matt Walsh and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-02-25 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Would You Surrender for God? Christians in the Middle East, in much of Asia, and in Africa are still being martyred for the faith, but how many American Christians are willing to lay down their smartphones, let alone their lives, for the faith? Being a Christian in America doesn’t require much these days. Suburban megachurches are more like entertainment venues than places to worship God. The lives that American “Christians” lead aren’t much different from those of their atheist neighbors, and their knowledge of theology isn’t much better either. Matt Walsh of The Daily Wire exposes the pitiful state of Christianity in America today, lays out the stakes for us, our families, and our eternal salvation, and invites us to a faith that’s a lot less easy and comfortable—but that’s more real and actually worth something. The spiritual junk food we’re stuffing ourselves with is never going to satisfy. As St. Augustine said over a millennium ago, our hearts are restless until they rest in Him. Only God Himself can make our lives anything but ultimately meaningless and empty. And we will never get anywhere near Him if we refuse to take up our cross and follow Jesus. This rousing call to the real adventure of a living faith is a wake-up call to complacent Christians and a rallying cry for anyone dissatisfied with a lukewarm faith.
