Thousands of people across the globe sit in offices and homes on a
daily basis and feel completely bored, frustrated and stuck. They
desperately wonder why they have zero excitement for their life
journey and what they could do for this to really change. Have a
Life Attack provides some simple and practical suggestions for you
to use on your journey of discovering true life passion and
purpose. Arising from a near-death experience, Have a Life Attack
uses Sean's twenty-year experience as a reluctant pharmacist-along
with valuable lessons learned from embarking on his own Life Attack
journey-to encourage you on a similar path of challenging the
status quo of your work, love and laugh lives. Have a Life Attack
incorporates inspiring stories and insights from friends,
professionals, and mentors who have encouraged Sean along the way.
"Have I really lived, have I really loved, and have I really
laughed in life?" If your answer to this question leans in any way
toward no, then Have a Life Attack is tailor-made for you.

"As you journey through these pages, if you have ever struggled
with addiction in any capacity either as an addict or through a
relationship, you will know that the author has walked in your
shoes. This is a sincerely personal and honest sharing of the
addict's world with the reader's journey consistently benefiting
from scriptural support." -Tom Caldwell, PhD
"This is one of the most valuable books written on recovery. It
was not birthed in a clinic by a team of doctors. This is a
compilation straight from the heart of a former addict who has
experienced the personal struggles of the fight to freedom. After
reading this book, every addict and those close to an addict can
know that victory is possible. As a personal devotional or as a
guideline for group study, this book will help you secure hope for
a bright and better future." -Robert, a former addict loved by
Jesus
"Is this book only useful to addicts? I definitely doubt that.
We all fall short of the glory of God. We need to be humble and
repentant. To different degrees and in different ways, we all
struggle. This is good reading for everyone." -Franz Eitel, PhD
'A really powerful book.' - Bruce Daisley Simple tools,
extraordinary results. Everything we're learning about how we
function best as humans in the digital age is pointing towards one
of our oldest technologies: the pen and the page. Exploratory
writing - writing for ourselves, not for others, writing when we
don't know exactly what it is we want to say - is one of the most
powerful and lightweight thinking tools we have at our disposal.
It's also been, until now, one of the most overlooked. But the
world's most influential leaders are increasingly using the
techniques in this book to support the key skills of the 21st
century - self-mastery, creativity, focus, solution-finding,
collaboration - and so can you. Alison Jones has been helping
business leaders identify and articulate what matters over a
30-year career in publishing and as a coach. The founder of
Practical Inspiration Publishing and host of The Extraordinary
Business Book Club podcast and community, she is passionate about
the power of writing to change ourselves and the world.

Clear, concise, prescriptive steps for improving memory loss and
keeping the brain young -- from one of the world's top memory
experts. Everybody forgets things sometimes -- from your keys to
your lunch date to the name of an acquaintance. According to Dr.
Gary Small, the director of the UCLA Center on Aging, much of this
forgetfulness can be eliminated easily through his innovative
memory exercises and brain fitness program -- now available for the
first time in a book. Using Small's recent scientific discoveries,
The Memory Bible can immediately improve your mental performance.
One of the ten commandments that Dr. Small has pioneered to improve
your memory immediately is LOOK, SNAP, CONNECT: 1: LOOK: actively
observe what you want to learn
2: SNAP: create a vivid snapshot and memorable image
3: CONNECT: visualize a link to associate images In addition, Dr.
Small's comprehensive program includes a "brain diet" of
memory-enhancing foods and a list of the most effective drugs, as
well as a workbook with a weekly and daily calendar. Remember, as
Dr. Small says, "Great memories are not born, they are made."

media ruling your life and help you rediscover your lost powers of
concentration. Your campaign to reclaim your life starts here and

An insightful and inspiring book on using "both/and" thinking to
make more creative, flexible, and impactful decisions in a world of
competing demands. Life is full of paradoxes. How can we each
express our individuality while also being a team player? How do we
balance work and life? How can we improve diversity while promoting
opportunities for all? How can we manage the core business while
innovating for the future? For many of us, these competing and
interwoven demands are a source of conflict. Since our brains love
to make either-or choices, we choose one option over the other. We
deal with the uncertainty by asserting certainty. There's a better
way. In Both/And Thinking, Wendy Smith and Marianne Lewis help
readers cope with multiple, knotted tensions at the same time.
Drawing from more than twenty years of pioneering research, they
provide tools and lessons for transforming these tensions into
opportunities for innovation and personal growth. Filled with
practical advice and fascinating stories-including firsthand tales
from IBM, LEGO, and Unilever, as well as from startups, nonprofits,
and even an inn at one of the four corners of the world-Both/And
Thinking will change the way you approach your most vexing
problems.
