Download or read book The Talent Code written by Daniel Coyle and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2009-04-28 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the secret of talent? How do we unlock it? This groundbreaking work provides readers with tools they can use to maximize potential in themselves and others. Whether you’re coaching soccer or teaching a child to play the piano, writing a novel or trying to improve your golf swing, this revolutionary book shows you how to grow talent by tapping into a newly discovered brain mechanism. Drawing on cutting-edge neurology and firsthand research gathered on journeys to nine of the world’s talent hotbeds—from the baseball fields of the Caribbean to a classical-music academy in upstate New York—Coyle identifies the three key elements that will allow you to develop your gifts and optimize your performance in sports, art, music, math, or just about anything. • Deep Practice Everyone knows that practice is a key to success. What everyone doesn’t know is that specific kinds of practice can increase skill up to ten times faster than conventional practice. • Ignition We all need a little motivation to get started. But what separates truly high achievers from the rest of the pack? A higher level of commitment—call it passion—born out of our deepest unconscious desires and triggered by certain primal cues. Understanding how these signals work can help you ignite passion and catalyze skill development. • Master Coaching What are the secrets of the world’s most effective teachers, trainers, and coaches? Discover the four virtues that enable these “talent whisperers” to fuel passion, inspire deep practice, and bring out the best in their students. These three elements work together within your brain to form myelin, a microscopic neural substance that adds vast amounts of speed and accuracy to your movements and thoughts. Scientists have discovered that myelin might just be the holy grail: the foundation of all forms of greatness, from Michelangelo’s to Michael Jordan’s. The good news about myelin is that it isn’t fixed at birth; to the contrary, it grows, and like anything that grows, it can be cultivated and nourished. Combining revelatory analysis with illuminating examples of regular people who have achieved greatness, this book will not only change the way you think about talent, but equip you to reach your own highest potential.

Download or read book The Tapping Solution written by Nick Ortner and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2013-04-02 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the New York Times best-selling book The Tapping Solution, Nick Ortner, founder of the Tapping World Summit and best-selling filmmaker of The Tapping Solution, is at the forefront of a new healing movement. In this book, he gives readers everything they need to successfully start using the powerful practice of tapping—or Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT).Tapping is one of the fastest and easiest ways to address both the emotional and physical problems that tend to hamper our lives. Using the energy meridians of the body, practitioners tap on specific points while focusing on particular negative emotions or physical sensations. The tapping helps calm the nervous system to restore the balance of energy in the body, and in turn rewire the brain to respond in healthy ways. This kind of conditioning can help rid practitioners of everything from chronic pain to phobias to addictions. Because of tapping’s proven success in healing such a variety of problems, Ortner recommends to try it on any challenging issue. In The Tapping Solution, Ortner describes not only the history and science of tapping but also the practical applications. In a friendly voice, he lays out easy-to-use practices, diagrams, and worksheets that will teach readers, step-by-step, how to tap on a variety of issues. With chapters covering everything from the alleviation of pain to the encouragement of weight loss to fostering better relationships, Ortner opens readers’ eyes to just how powerful this practice can be. Throughout the book, readers will see real-life stories of healing ranging from easing the pain of fibromyalgia to overcoming a fear of flying.The simple strategies Ortner outlines will help readers release their fears and clear the limiting beliefs that hold them back from creating the life they want.

Download or read book The Engineering Business Nexus written by Steen Hyldgaard Christensen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-14 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fascinating and compelling in equal measure this volume presents a critical examination of the multilayered relationships between engineering and business. In so doing the study also stimulates ethical reflection on how these relationships either enhance or inhibit strategies to address vital issues of our time. In the context of geopolitical, economic, and environmental tendencies the authors explore the world that we should want to create and the role of the engineer and the business manager in this endeavor. Throughout this volume the authors identify periods of alignment and periods of tension between engineering and business. They look at focal points of the engineering-business nexus related to the development of capitalism. The book explores past and present movements to reshape, reform, or reject this nexus. The volume is informed by questions of importance for industry as well as for higher education. These are: What kinds of conflict arise for engineers in their attempts to straddle both professional and organizational commitments? How should professionals be managed to avoid a clash of managerial and professional cultures? How do engineers create value in firms and corporations? What kinds of tension exist between higher education and industry? What challenges does the neoliberal entrepreneurial university pose for management, faculty, students, society, and industry? Should engineering graduates be ready for work, and can they possibly be? What kinds of business issues are reflected in engineering education curricula, and for what purpose? Is there a limit to the degree of business hybridization in engineering degree programs, and if so, what would be the criterion for its definition? Is there a place in engineering education curricula for reflective critique of assumptions related to business and economic thinking? One ideal of management and control comes to the fore as the Anthropocene - the world transformed into an engineered artefact which includes human existence. The volume raises the question as to how engineering and business together should be considered, given the fact that the current engineering-business nexus remains embedded within an economic model of continual growth. By addressing macro-level issues such as energy policy, sustainable development, globalization, and social justice this study will both help create awareness and stimulate development of self-knowledge among practitioners, educators, and students thereby ultimately addressing the need for better informed citizens to safeguard planet Earth as a human life supporting system.

The book discusses the essential elements required to experience joy and be in presence in each life moment. Processing and understanding emotions is an important topic theme discussed which reveals the connection between joy and presence. Kristin presents "living in presence" in a way that invites curiosity to discover what the vision looks like for each individual and what is getting in the way from experiencing it. The reader can expect to be guided through thought provoking questions and resources that assist them with accessing their own inner wisdom to make living in joy and presence possible. In his latest book, Kristin Larsen shares, "writing the book was always about creating a deep connection to self and others.

The book encourages taking the journey within self to open the heart to connection of authentic acceptance and expression. "Joy resides fully embracing the present moment whatever it may contain - with appreciation and curiosity."

Book excerpt: Do we understand how our food choices, thoughts, and emotions directly affect our physical health? Who controls our personal health and well-being? Our doctors? Our healthcare system? Our Lord? Or ourselves? As a Christian acupuncturist in private practice, yet fully integrated into the healthcare networks of Los Angeles, Jamie Chan-Ortega is able to offer natural healthcare and spiritual counsel within a system that all too often focuses just on the body in parts and grossly overlooks how a chronically stressed and negative mind, burdened heart, or broken spirit can aggravate if not directly cause a multitude of physical ailments and disease. Do you crave: —the wholeness of health —the fullness of joy —gifts from God, freely given We must pursue them! Can we follow God and take heed to science at the same time? Yes, we can. We can strike that balance between being responsibly in control of our health yet surrendered to God. With tremendous insight, great intelligence, and a readily-felt tenderness, Jamie encouragingly shows us how to apply scientific facts and spiritual principles into our everyday lives so that we can truly experience the fullness of life God intends for each and every one of us.

Born in Ireland to a mortal Mother and an incubus Father, Cara was bestowed with a special ability to sense the Supernatural beings around her by their colourful auras. Her gift soon became a curse as she realized that all the beings she could sense were drawn to her, whether she liked it or not. Now a grown woman, traveling around the Irish countryside with a runaway faerie and a disgruntled leprechaun, Cara discovers an unlikely group of Supernaturals who are on the hunt for her. When they are inevitably drawn to her she is forced into an uneasy alliance with three werewolves and two vampires. They believe that a recent earthquake that was followed by a raven's eerie cry was the first sign of Ragnarok; the end of the world. The ancient Norse god, Loke, has been released from his imprisonment in the underworld and is biding his time while his army of demons and giants gathers and awaits the final war to be waged. Cara scrambles to uncover the reason why an ancient god is so interested in finding her while keeping her apprehensive team of misfits working together, fighting off demon attacks, avoiding hostile supernatural encounters and protecting her heart from a vampire who is the only supernatural being she has ever come across who cant feel her lure and seems able to break through all of her defenses. All before the destined battle that spells the end of mankind and decides the fate of the world.
