'This is a life-changing book. Read it three times and then give a copy
to anyone you care about. It will make things better' – Seth Godin,

'All you need is Buster Benson. His methods are instantly actionable,

Why Are We Yelling is Buster Benson's essential guide to having more
honest and constructive arguments.
The way we argue is broken. Whether it’s about Brexit, the existence of
ghosts, the best burger in the city or who’s allowed to sit in your
favourite chair, we end up digging our heels in and yelling at one
another or choosing to avoid heated topics entirely. There has to be a
better way.
Buster Benson, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur with two decades of
experience facilitating hard conversations at some of the biggest tech
companies in the world, recommends eight things to try in order to make
disagreements more productive. By applying these eight new habits, we
can flip frustrating, unproductive disagreements into ones that bear
fruit and bring people closer together.
In this book you'll master practical skills to make your disagreements
more productive by:
- Understanding four ways of disagreeing that are more valuable than
simply ‘winning’ the argument
- Identifying the kind of argument you’re having so you know how best
to negotiate it
- Articulating the best possible version of your opponent’s argument
before attacking it
With this toolkit we can explore more possibilities and perspectives in
the world, simply because we’ll no longer be afraid to wade into scary
topics of conversation.
Each moment that you’re given is a precious gift from God. You can
choose to have a thankful attitude and live each moment full of joy,
simply because God is good. In The Power of Thank You: Discover The Joy
Of Gratitude, renowned Bible teacher and #1 New York Times bestselling
author Joyce Meyer encourages us to take a look at ourselves and the
importance of being thankful.
Living life with a heart of gratitude for who God is and what He has
done lifts your burdens and allows you to see everything in a different
light. Regularly giving thanks to God not only helps you fully realize
how He’s working in your life, it gives you a new perspective—your mind
is renewed, your attitude is improved, and you're filled with joy.
Things will certainly happen to you that don’t seem fair, and it’s much
easier to make excuses and feel sorry for yourself. Keep saying, “I
trust You, God, and I believe You will work it all out for my good.” If
you find The Power of Thank You in every situation, truly believing
that God is working everything out for your good, you will end up with
the victory every single time.
The landmark self-help bestseller that has inspired and enhanced the lives of more than 30 million readers.
In this updated edition, with a new introduction and editorial commentary by Matt Furey, president of the Psycho-Cybernetics Foundation, the original 1960 text has been annotated and amplified to make Maxwell Maltz's message even more relevant for the contemporary reader.
Maltz was the first researcher and author to explain how the self-image (a term he popularized) has complete control over an individual's ability to achieve, or fail to achieve, any goal. He developed techniques for improving and managing self-image visualization, mental rehearsal and relaxation which have informed and inspired countless motivational gurus, sports psychologists, and self-help practitioners for more than sixty years.
Rooted in solid science, the classic teachings in Psycho-Cybernetics continue to provide a prescription for thinking and acting that lead to life-enhancing, quantifiable results.
Dit is nie noodwendig maklik om bly te wees nie – maar Johannes de Villiers wys hoe dit ’n haalbare doel is vir enigiemand. Vind in hierdie boek ’n omvattende blik op lewensvreugde; alles van teorieë oor wat presies blydskap behels tot praktiese wenke om dit te bereik, met inligting van spiritueles sowel as sielkundiges. Ware verhale staaf sy voorstelle, soos dié van die man wie se pad na blydskap begin het toe Geheime Polisie hom skiet.
Television has conditioned us to tolerate visually entertaining
material measured out in spoonfuls of time, to the detriment of
rational public discourse and reasoned public affairs. In this
eloquent, persuasive book, Neil Postman alerts us to the real and
present dangers of this state of affairs, and offers compelling
suggestions as to how to withstand the media onslaught. Before we
hand over politics, education, religion, and journalism to the show
business demands of the television age, we must recognize the ways
in which the media shape our lives and the ways we can, in turn,
shape them to serve out highest goals.
