We're all in Sales now Parents sell their kids on going to bed.
Spouses sell their partners on mowing the lawn. We sell our bosses
on giving us more money and more time off. And in astonishing
numbers we go online to sell ourselves on Facebook, Twitter and
online dating profiles. Relying on science, analysis and his
trademark clarity of thought, Daniel Pink shows that sales isn't
what it used to be. Then he provides a set of tools, tips, and
exercises for succeeding on each new terrain: six new ways to pitch
your idea, three ways to understand another's perspective, five
frames that can make your message clearer, and much more.
Everyone wants to be happy, yet so many people are the opposite of
that, with increasing numbers of anti-depressants being dispensed
each year. Clearly we need a new approach to life. Happy for No
Reason presents startling new ideas and a practical programme that
will change the way we look at creating happiness in our lives.
Marci Shimoff combines the best in cutting-edge scientific research
into happiness with interviews with over 100 genuinely happy
people, and lays out a powerful, holistic, seven-step formula for
raising our 'happiness set point'. Our happiness levels are like a
neuro-physiological thermostat - we can actually re-programme
ourselves to a higher level of peace and wellbeing, as happiness is
dependent on internal, not external, factors. Happy for No Reason
will set readers quickly and easily on a path to lasting joy.
Teachers already know that the interpersonal communication course
is among the most interesting, relevant and life-changing courses a
student can take. But many texts fail to directly connect the core
ideas in the field to students' own relationships with friends,
family and coworkers. It's Interpersonal puts students at the
centre of its approach. Written in a friendly, conversational and
approachable style and filled with relatable examples, pop culture
references and innovative, engaging pedagogy-including InQuizitive,
an interactive, adaptive learning tool-It's Interpersonal motivates
students to improve their communication skills and to apply the
course's content to their own lives.
Sermons of Soul brings you the best-loved opening segments from Iman Rappetti’s award-winning radio show, POWER Talk. With each daily sermon, Iman sought to reach out to her listeners and give them something special before the day’s tough subjects unfolded on the programme. She wanted to create a moment for them to feel appreciated, thought of, challenged or cared for.
Some days the sermon was a motivational letter, encouraging listeners to stay strong and confident, to have hope for themselves and the country. On other days it was different – a call to action, a sociopolitical critique, a powerfully moving assessment of how we were doing as a society. These few minutes became one of the most-listened-to segments in radio, so popular that people frequently called in to comment on the impact of the messages or stopped Iman in the street to talk about them. More than once, the sermons have been called life-changing.
Reading Iman’s labour of love will remind you of important issues at the same time as it will encourage and inspire you.
