"This leads to my definition of life. In many ways, it is quite simple: It is using your talents to, in some small way, make a difference in this world. Whether it's working with the environment, or our educational system, or those with physical or mental challenges, or those in the dawn or twilight of their lives, meaning is achieved by working towards and leaving behind something of value to the next generation. It matters little whether your aspiration or dream was realized: we'll never have world peace, or feed the hungry, or avoid catastrophic diseases or illnesses. What matters is that you tried, that you worked to make the world a better place. What matters is that, when you look back over your life, you can say that you fought the good fight, that you did what was right, and that you made a difference in this world. "

The mind is the single most powerful force in our life, and the real power of the mind is in your thoughts-what and how you think. In Please Change Your Mind, author Steve White explores how the mind works.

Through real-life examples, fables, jokes, poetry, and personal memories, White shows how your thoughts about everything in your daily life affect what you feel and what you do. He demonstrates how these thoughts create results and examines whether these results are really meeting your needs. Please Change Your Mind teaches you how to

examine your thoughts;

understand the laws you put on your lens of life;

change what you feel;

change your behavior;

change the results you create in your life;

alter your thoughts;

better meet the needs in your life;

apply thought-change to every aspect of your life;

create results that meet your needs.

White's process diagram offers insights into an array of the topics, ideas, and situations you face on an ongoing basis and the ways that you react to those events. Life comes at you one hundred miles per hour every day; what you think about it makes all the difference.

Why do smart people make irrational decisions every day? The answers will surprise you. Predictably Irrational is an intriguing, witty and utterly original look at why we all make illogical decisions. Why can a 50p aspirin do what a 5p aspirin can't? If an item is "free" it must be a bargain, right? Why is everything relative, even when it shouldn't be? How do our expectations influence our actual opinions and decisions? In this astounding book, behavioural economist Dan Ariely cuts to the heart of our strange behaviour, demonstrating how irrationality often supplants rational thought and that the reason for this is embedded in the very structure of our minds. Predicatably Irrational brilliantly blends everyday experiences with a series of illuminating and often surprising experiments, that will change your understanding of human behaviour. And, by recognising these patterns, Ariely shows that we can make better decisions in business, in matters of collective welfare, and in our everyday lives from drinking coffee to losing weight, buying a car to choosing a romantic partner.
