'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,
author of This is Marketing
'All you need is Buster Benson. His methods are instantly actionable,
[and] his writing is funny and relatable' – Adam Grant, author of
Originals
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.

In a world with more than 7 billion people, 196 countries, 7,000
spoken languages, and close to 30 religions, the probability of one
group or one person intentionally or unintentionally offending
another group or another person is absolutely certain. Many people
limit themselves in life based on their inability to get along with
others, and too often we allow ourselves to be ruled by our
emotions. When we're emotionally reactive, we're not our best
selves, nor do we produce the smartest outcomes. Emotional
reactions create winners and losers. And winning directly at the
expense of another is actually losing in disguise, due to the
resentment it inspires in the loser. Often, people get stuck in a
pattern of reacting emotionally, long past the time when the
combativeness that once served them no longer does; long past the
time when the pattern has become destructive without them being
aware of it. For everyone who wants to change that part of
themselves-everyone who wants more peaceful interactions and more
successful outcomes, but doesn't know how to achieve that-Quiet the
Rage is the answer.
The intricacy of modern life has created a false dichotomy between
things that are 'hard and important,' and those that are 'easy and
trivial.' Everything has become so much harder than it ought to be.
But, Greg McKeown, bestselling author of Essentialism, says, there is a
third alternative.
In Effortless, he offers practical tools for making the most essential
activities the easiest ones, so you can achieve the results you want,
without burning out. Honed over the better part of a decade, these
strategies include:
·Turning tedious tasks into enjoyable rituals
·Preventing frustration by solving problems before they arise
·Setting a sustainable pace instead of powering through
·Making one-time choices that eliminate many future decisions
·Making relationships easier to maintain and manage
·And much more
McKeown's philosophy of essentialism has helped thousands to recognise
that the effortless way isn't the lazy way. It's the smart way. Not
every hard thing in life can be made easy but we can make it easier to
do more of what matters most. Effortless will show you how.
The book you need right now is finally here! From beloved spiritual
teacher Michael A. Singer-author of the New York Times bestseller,
The Untethered Soul-this transformative and highly anticipated
guide will be your compass on an exciting new journey toward
self-realization and unconditional happiness. Now more than ever,
we're all looking to feel more joy, happiness, and deeper meaning
in our lives. But are we looking in all the wrong places? When our
sense of wholeness depends on things or people outside ourselves-
whether it's a coveted job, a new house, a lavish vacation, or even
the perfect relationship-sooner or later we're bound to feel
unsatisfied. That's why we must look inside for real freedom, love,
and inspiration. But how do we begin, and what do we do if we don't
like what we find there? Living Untethered is the book to reach
for. At once profoundly transcendent and powerfully practical, it
provides clear guidance for moving beyond the thoughts, feelings,
and habits that keep you stuck-so you can heal the pain of the past
and let your spirit soar. On each page you'll discover a deeper
understanding of your emotions, learn where your thoughts and moods
come from, and uncover your natural energy flow. Finally, you'll
find freedom from the psychological scars, or samskaras, that block
you and keep you from reaching your highest potential. It's time to
stop struggling and start experiencing. This miraculous book will
show you how to put the spiritual teachings of Michael A. Singer
into practice every day, and propel you toward a life of
liberation, serenity, openness, and self-knowledge. Isn't it time
you started Living Untethered?

laat ervaar waarvan ons nooit kon droom nie. Wanneer ons ’n denkwyse
kies wat ons vermoëns verruim, sal ons groter intellektuele
satisfaksie, emosionele beheer en fisieke gesondheid ervaar. Die vraag
is net: Hoe?
