Larry King wrote the foreword. Beneath the surface-undiagnosed, untreated, and often unspoken-there is a pervasive cloud of unease affecting virtually everyone. According to Drs. George Pratt and Peter Lambrou, this fog of distress is the result of events in our past that have left psychological impressions. They're the reason so many people feel unloved, guilty, ashamed, fearful, and unsafe. It's the basis of addictions, sleeplessness, bad habits, conflict and unsatisfying relationships. It is why so many can't seem to be able get out of their own way. These impressions are so deeply embedded in our psyche that often we're not consciously aware of them. The revolutionary four-step solution helps readers identify the negative blocking beliefs and defuse them in a matter of minutes. The four-step process forms the heart of "Code to Joy". Identify: Identify the underlying negative beliefs at the root of our distress, and locate the events in our past that may have triggered them. Clear: Rebalance the body's energy system to prepare it for the reorganization to follow-a sort of clearing the decks in anticipation for repatterning.Repattern: Release those long-standing blocking beliefs and encode a new set of positive beliefs in their place. Anchor: Create a stable foundation so that the effects of the first three steps will be deeply felt and long lasting. Through this proven approach, "Code to Joy" helps eliminate the fears, anxieties, and buried emotional debris that prevent us from living life to the fullest, and, more importantly, helps us rediscover our innate happiness.

If money were about math, none of us would be carrying any debt.

The numbers are simple. What’s complicated is what we do with money. We use money to soothe our feelings and buy respect, to show how much we care or how little. We don’t simply earn, save, and spend money: we flirt with it, crave it, and scorn it; we punish and reward ourselves with it.

Without realizing it, we give money meaning it doesn’t really have—what former psychiatrist and current business coach David Krueger calls our “money story.” And in the process of playing out that money story, we often sacrifice the most important things in our life: our health, freedom, relationships, and happiness.

What is your money story?

Do you consistently spend more than you have?Do you follow the herd in your investments—even though you know the herd is usually wrong?Have you neglected to save for the future, even when you have the means?Do you feel controlled or shackled by debt?Is your money somehow never “enough”?Is money, or the lack of it, always on your mind?

The Secret Language of Money is a guided tour to the subconscious meanings we give money, the conflicted ways our brain deals with money, the reasons we tend to make the same money mistakes over and over—and most importantly, how you can change all that.

A brilliant blend of cutting-edge science and real-world application, The Secret Language of Money helps you rewrite your money story and find that elusive balance of wealth, health, and joy we all seek.

The sequel to the international bestseller The Go-Giver, applying its inspirational approach to real-world challenges.The Go-Giver took the business world by storm with its message that giving is the simplest, most fulfilling, and most effective path to success. It has inspired hundreds of thousands of readers; but some have wondered how the story's lessons stand up to the tough challenges of everyday, real-world business.Bob Burg and John David Mann answer that question in Go-Givers Sell More, a practical guide that turns giving into the cornerstone of a powerful and effective approach to selling.Most of us think of sales as a struggle to make people do something they don't really want to do. But that cut-throat mentality makes the process much harder than it has to be - especially in an economic downturn when customers are more suspicious and defensive than ever. It's far more effective (and satisfying) when salespeople think like Go-Givers and focus on creating value for the customer. Cultivate a trusting relationship and provide outstanding service, and great results will follow automatically.Illustrating their points with a wide range of real-life examples, Burg and Mann offer tips and strategies that anyone in sales can start applying right away.

Yet it is Webb's distinguished second career as a lead instructor for the shadowy "sniper cell" and Course Manager of the Navy SEAL Sniper Program that trained some of America's finest and deadliest warriors - including Marcus Luttrell and Chris Kyle - that makes his story so compelling. Luttrell credits Webb's training with his own survival during the ill-fated 2005 Operation Redwing in Afghanistan. Kyle went on to become the U.S. military's top marksman, with more than 150 confirmed kills. From a candid chronicle of his student days to his hair-raising close calls with Taliban and al Qaeda forces in the northern Afghanistan wilderness to his vivid account of designing new sniper standards and training some of the most accomplished snipers of the twenty-first century, Webb provides a rare look at the making of the Special Operations warriors who are at the forefront of today's military.

Truth, Lies, Mistakes, or BS follows the story of Harry Grant, a man whose identity is deeply entwined with a business now only days away from closing.

Blending engaging fiction with practical business insights, this parable offers a fresh perspective on entrepreneurship, identity, and personal growth. It will resonate with anyone searching for deeper meaning in their work, hoping to reignite lost passion, or striving to build a business that is not only successful, but deeply aligned.

Trainees learn to utilize every edge possible to make their shot count - studying crosswinds, barometric pressure, latitude, and even the rotation of the Earth to becoming ballistic experts. In addition to marksmanship, each SEAL's endurance, stealth, and mental and physical stamina are pushed to the breaking point.Webb also shows how this training plays out in combat, using real-life exploits of the world's top snipers, including Jason Delgado, who made some of the most remarkable kill shots in the Iraq War; Nicholas Irving, the U.S. Army Ranger credited with thirty-three kills in a single tour in Afghanistan; and Rob Furlong, who during Operation Anaconda delivered the then-longest kill shot in history.During Webb's sniper school tenure, the course graduated some of the deadliest snipers of this generation, including Marcus Luttrell (Lone Survivor), Adam Brown (Fearless), and Chris Kyle (American Sniper). The Killing School demonstrates how today's sniper is trained to function as an entire military operation rolled into a single individual - an army of one.(P)2017 Quercus Editions Limited
