Download or read book Finding Fame written by Paul Baker and published by Grosvenor House Publishing. This book was released on 2021-11-08 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Baker has experienced many ups and downs in his life, but it's how he dealt with these moments and learned from them that really sets his story apart. He is accustomed to failure, having learned how to turn negative experiences into positive outcomes, and he continues to remain focused on his ambitions by continually setting himself new goals. Covering themes such as ambition, determination, and the importance of mindset and exercise when it comes to personal growth, Finding Fame illustrates Paul's drive to constantly improve both himself and his life. Paul has enjoyed many major milestones over the years, from being awarded the Kyokushinkai Karate black belt at just age 16 to serving with the British Army, a career that led him all over the world to places like Belize and the Falkland Islands. This book showcases how important it is to fail in life – to get knocked down but then to rise up again, stronger and wiser and ready for the next obstacle. His martial arts background and army training taught Paul the importance of discipline and resilience, traits he took with him and used in all other areas of his life. Underlining everything he does is his knowledge of how your mindset can set you up for success, and the understanding that bad experiences aren't ultimately bad, as they can teach you the tools and techniques you need to navigate through the challenges of life. Paul also understands the power of setting goals in life, and in being ambitious with those goals. Without a clear, set plan, you won't know which direction to go in – which path to take – and, even if you end up going down a path you hadn't previously considered, you simply have to take that first step. What you learn along the way is often far more important than the destination you initially had in mind. Paul acknowledges the impact his environment had on him when he was younger, from his home life to his schooldays and his extracurricular activities. He attributes his positive growth mindset to several people from his youth: his parents, his middle school teacher, and his martial arts instructors. These individuals moulded who he was as a person and encouraged him to view circumstances and obstacles from a different perspective; by shifting his mindset, he opened himself up to all the wonderful opportunities this world has to offer. Exercise is another key theme in the book; Paul looks at how it's helped him physically and mentally. As he says, the earlier you start physical activity, the faster the payback – in all areas of your life. Not only does exercise improve your health and help with weight loss, but it also encourages a happier, more positive mindset, increases your energy levels, and gives you the confidence required to go after what you really want. Without exercise, Paul simply would not have accomplished everything he's achieved in his life so far. Finding Fame also looks at the music and world events that shaped Paul's adolescence as he grew up in the '80s, as well as his fitness victories – including the time he climbed Mont Blanc, a personal challenge he set himself to celebrate his 40th birthday. This book is an excellent example of how mindset is everything, how failure is a learning experience, and that – in order to keep growing as a person – you simply must carry on, no matter what. Finding Fame will give you the knowledge, motivation, and inspiration you need to identify your goals and go after what you really want in life.

Download or read book Dancing to the Beat of the Drum written by Pamela Nomvete and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the global village that is the world today, identity, it would seem, is no longer a subject that is being explored as we now accept that we, as the human race, have become multicultural. We seemingly accept the cultural diversity not only in our communities but also within our own family geography. Dancing to the Beat of the Drum is the story of a celebrated South African actress searching for an identity. Her search takes place in an environment where the question of identity has been manipulated in such a way that cultural diversity is not embraced but where cultural and economic identity determines a person's worth. This manifests itself in a roller-coaster journey of mental and emotional toxicity as we are carried along the painful experience of one person's quest to be heard. Here no amount of fame or money is able to bring solace and acceptance to Pamela Nomvete. Appearing to lead a life of luxury and success, behind closed doors she is faced with infidelity in the guise of a polygamous husband, addiction, and spiritual confusion. Her life spirals into the cliché of a riches-to-rags horror story. The struggle of a country, South Africa to find itself in an incomprehensible vat of denial, reflects in the struggle of an individual's fight to find her way out of her own pit of self-denial. It would seem the only victory lies in finding the beat of the drum and dancing to it.

Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS’ CHOICE NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY TIME , NPR, INSTYLE, AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING “A sensational new book [that] tries to figure out whether it’s possible to live an ethical life in a capitalist society. . . . The results are enthralling.” —Associated Press A timely and arresting new look at affluence by the New York Times bestselling author, “one of the leading lights of the modern American essay.” —Financial Times “My adult life can be divided into two distinct parts,” Eula Biss writes, “the time before I owned a washing machine and the time after.” Having just purchased her first home, the poet and essayist now embarks on a provocative exploration of the value system she has bought into. Through a series of engaging exchanges—in libraries and laundromats, over barstools and backyard fences—she examines our assumptions about class and property and the ways we internalize the demands of capitalism. Described by the New York Times as a writer who “advances from all sides, like a chess player,” Biss offers an uncommonly immersive and deeply revealing new portrait of work and luxury, of accumulation and consumption, of the value of time and how we spend it. Ranging from IKEA to Beyoncé to Pokemon, Biss asks, of both herself and her class, “In what have we invested?”
