Your ancestors were constantly on the look-out for danger because survival was the name of the game. Today's world is different. You are not running from savage beasts on your way to work, yet your inclination toward fear, worry and doubt remain supremely powerful. Ironically, most of the savagery today comes from within, and those monsters are rooted in your own mind, from your past, your view of the world, and your perceived place in it. It doesn't have to be that way. In Purposely Positive, you will learn where the lean toward the "dark side" comes from (the psychology, physiology and biology) and more importantly: how you can intentionally create a more positive life NOW leading to a massively impactful future. Through reading this book you will: Identify and remove the anchors that keep you from surging into a brighter future. Re-frame your outlook on challenges so that they will ignite your engine, rather than keep you idle. Realize that reaching for perfection could in fact be sabatoging you from living a masterful life.

Figure out how to do what you love, and how to love what you do. Learn to intentionally forge your life, utilizing accessible exercises that will lead you toward a happier, more satisfying life.

Teaming up with Andrew Winston, one of the world's most authoritative voices on corporate sustainability, Paul Polman shows business leaders how to take on humanity's greatest and most urgent challenges—climate change and inequality—and build a thriving business as a result. In this candid and straight-talking handbook, Polman and Winston reveal the secrets of Unilever's success and pull back the curtain on some of the world's most powerful c-suites. Net Positive boldly argues that the companies of the future will profit by fixing the world's problems, not creating them. Together the authors explode our most prevalent corporate myths: from the idea that business' only function is to maximise profits, to the naïve hope that Corporate Social Responsibility will save our species from disaster. These approaches, they argue, are destined for the graveyard. Instead, they show corporate leaders how to make their companies "Net Positive"—thriving by giving back more to the world than they take. Net Positive companies unleash innovation, build trust, attract the best people, thrill customers, and secure lasting success, all by helping create stronger, more inclusive societies and a healthier planet. Heal the world first, they argue, and you’ll satisfy your investors as a result. With ambitious vision and compelling stories, Net Positive will teach you how to find the inner purpose and courage you need to embrace the only business model that will matter in the years ahead. You will learn how to lead others and unlock your company's soul, while setting and delivering big and aggressive goals, and taking responsibility for all of your company's impacts. You'll find out the secrets to partnering with others, including your competition and critics, to drive transformative change from which you will prosper. You'll build a company that serves your people, your customers, your communities, your shareholders—and your children and grandchildren will thank you for it. Is this win-win for business and humanity too good to be true? Don't believe it. The world's smartest CEOs are already taking their companies on the Net Positive journey and benefitting as a result. Will you be left behind? Join the movement at netpositive.world

One day after class, his teacher shares with him the life-changing lesson of the coffee bean, and this powerful message changes the way he thinks, acts, and sees the world. Abe discovers that instead of letting his environment change him for the worse, he can transform any environment he is in for the better. Equipped with this transformational truth, Abe embarks on an inspirational journey to live his life like the coffee bean. Wherever his life takes him, from school, to the military, to the business world, Abe demonstrates how this simple lesson can unleash the unstoppable power within you. A delightful, quick read, The Coffee Bean is purposely written and designed for readers of all ages so that everyone can benefit from this transformational lesson.

Download or read book Pride and Purpose written by Priya Somaiya and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-18 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our mental paradigm about leadership must shift, argues author Priya Somaiya, and Pride and Purpose achieves just that. It is a fascinating compilation of experiences and stories, and her tryst with leaders and leadership from all walks of life. Not all of leadership is about positional power and control. Rather, most of it silently and sensitively engages with building and transforming lives, organisations and society. The complex intersection and convergence of diverse personalities, skills, styles and qualities in leaders presented in various chapters of the book appear to impact human experiences in similar and yet diverse ways. Leaders influence thought and perception, aspiration and motivation. They earn respect and trust. They create resolute will and discipline and demonstrate working through failure and pain. Leaders interface hugely with time and the elusive framework of the future. They role model risk-taking and a lasting passion for learning. Dr Somaiya's work weaves all these dimensions together in a converging mosaic around leadership behaviours, which appear to strengthen the significantly important pillars around which all leadership devolves-the feeling of pride and the anchoring of purpose in life.

It adds direction and meaning to our existence, making life not just a mere survival but a profound journey of self-discovery and fulfillment. Our book, "Journey to the Heart: Uncovering and Embracing Your Life's True Purpose", is a comprehensive, meticulously crafted guide to help you embark on this transformative voyage. Life's purpose, as this book argues, is not a luxury for the few but a birthright for all. It is not discovered merely by chance or through a lightning bolt of inspiration, but through careful exploration, self-reflection, and a deep understanding of the philosophical, religious, and scientific notions of purpose. From the ancient wisdom of biblical figures and philosophers to the modern theories of psychology and quantum physics, this book delves into a wide spectrum of perspectives on purpose, offering you a multidimensional lens to view your life and the world around you. The book begins by defining life's purpose and its profound significance in our lives. It offers a fresh perspective, combining biblical, psychological, philosophical, and scientific viewpoints to paint a full picture of what purpose is and what it can mean for you. The book then uses narratives from the Bible and interpretations from scholars to understand the biblical notion of purpose and its relevance today. You will find profound lessons in the lives of Moses, Esther, Paul, and Jesus that still resonate powerfully in our contemporary world. Continuing the exploration, we dive into the rich insights of ancient philosophers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, and the timeless wisdom of Eastern philosophies, all shedding light on the concept of purpose. It also examines modern philosophies, revealing how existentialism, nihilism, and postmodernism treat the notion of life purpose. Next, we tap into the realm of psychology, analyzing how human needs, motivations, and stages of development relate to our search for purpose. We explore the principles of positive psychology and their implications for a purpose-driven life. We delve into the potential of our minds to foster a growth mindset and resilience, both crucial in navigating the ups and downs of life's journey. Not stopping there, the book examines the link between purpose and mental health, offering insights on how a clear sense of purpose can alleviate depression, anxiety, and stress. It highlights the vital role of neuroscience and sociology in understanding our behaviors and the society that shapes them. A fascinating chapter is dedicated to quantum physics, where we explore how theories such as the observer effect and quantum entanglement can offer intriguing insights into our understanding of purpose. The book pushes the boundaries of traditional thought, offering innovative and thought-provoking perspectives on how we view our life purpose. In the final section, the book takes a practical turn, guiding you step by step on your personal journey of self-discovery. It provides clear, actionable steps for crafting a life purpose statement, navigating obstacles, and integrating your purpose into your daily life. It emphasizes resilience and long-term commitment to living out your purpose. "Journey to the Heart: Uncovering and Embracing Your Life's True Purpose" is for anyone who has ever asked themselves, "What is my purpose?" It's for those who feel adrift in the vast ocean of existence, longing for a sense of direction. For those who want to live a life not of mere survival but of deep significance. This book is your compass, your roadmap, and your beacon in the pursuit of a life well-lived.
