Learn how to take risks, thrive and build your dream career. Each
one of us dreams of possibility - in our careers and in our
personal lives. But our pursuit of possibility is hamstrung by a
single myth that looms large over us time and time again. The Myth
of the Single Choice has led us to believe that one large choice
stands between us and success, and that a single failure may topple
us should we choose 'wrongly'. Influenced by this myth, we let fear
trump possibility: we become paralyzed. But Sukhinder's journey
tells a different story. When people thrive, it's because their
fear of missing out on an opportunity (FOMO) overtakes their fear
of failure (FOF) and compels them to take action. Better yet, they
keep acting, building a fundamental risk-taking muscle that under
weighs the importance of any single choice in favour of continually
'choosing'. These 'Choosers' accumulate outsized impact and success
over time, while also being more likely to make a number of
'failing' choices along the way. In this book, she will show you
how to be a Chooser, presenting strategies that increase your
risk-taking abilities, lower your fear of failure and expand your
own possibilities.
Your brain is always listening and responding to these hidden
influences and unless you recognize and deal with them, they can steal
your happiness, spoil your relationships, and sabotage your health.
This book will teach you to tame the:
- Dragons from the Past that ignite your most painful
emotions;
- Negative Thought Dragons that attack you, fueling anxiety
and depression;
- They and Them Dragons, people in your life whose own
dragons do battle with yours;
- Bad Habit Dragons that increase the chances you’ll be
overweight, overwhelmed, and an underachiever;
- Addicted Dragons that make you lose control of your health,
wealth, and relationships;
- Scheming Dragons, advertisers and social media sites that
steal your attention.
In Your Brain Is Always Listening, Dr. Daniel Amen shows you how to
recognize harmful dragons and gives you the weapons to vanquish them.
With these practical tools, you can stop feeling sad, mad, nervous, or
out of control and start being happier, calmer, and more in control of
your own destiny.
You were designed with the ability and inner strength to stretch to the
next level, to stand strong and overcome the opposition, to learn new
skills, to believe bigger, dream bigger, and to take on new challenges.
In You Are Stronger than You Think, #1 New York Times bestselling
author Joel Osteen encourages you to stand firm when the difficulty is
not turning around. When the pressure mounts, when you feel
overwhelmed, when the struggle looks too big, or the goal is out of
reach, you have to remember that is not your destiny. You are more
powerful than you think. You need to see yourself the right way and
realize what’s already inside you. You were made to outlast the
competition, to go further than you thought you could, and live a life
beyond what limits you.
As you read You Are Stronger than You Think, you will find the power to
break the cycle of defeat, the courage to set a new standard for your
family, the hope to conquer your fear, and the confidence to accomplish
every dream. You will discover that you have more strength, more
talent, more determination, and more endurance than you ever imagined.
Nothing can hold you back…because You Are Stronger than You Think!
In this powerful new collection of wisdom and poetry, Donna Ashworth
helps us to find strength and courage on the days we feel lost, to pick
ourselves up when times are hard, to soothe fear and self-doubt when we
are in their grip, and to let in more life and love as we brave our
challenges.
Every day we are bombarded by thoughts, feelings and information that
make us feel anxious and afraid. We worry we don't measure up, we are
scared of failure and we find it hard to be ourselves. We also feel
powerless watching the world getting messier, angrier and more
unstable. Fear is a limiting factor for many of us and if we don't
challenge it we can find ourselves falling foul of it, and keeping out
more of the good stuff in life than the bad.
With poems such as 'One Day You'll See', 'Growing in Moonlight', 'The
Comparing' and 'Always There', bestselling author Donna Ashworth helps
us to see that no matter how small or afraid we feel, we make the
biggest difference in this world and to our own happiness when we are
brave enough to show up as ourselves.

For many, anxiety is a powerful giant that would like you to believe that your life will never be normal again. A giant that traps you in darkness and defeat. But, you can live free from anxiety.
Knowing first-hand the reality of the battle of anxiety, pastor Louie Giglio shares both practical and spiritual ways to walk in freedom. With encouragement and hope he unfolds the truth in the paradox that anxiety is dead but still deadly—namely, that while the reality of anxiety might be intimidating, there is One whose power has already won the battle.
Putting an X Through Anxiety will show you how to put an "X" through your anxiety using the strongest of weapons: the cross of Jesus. Each day of the journey will help you put one foot forward in the battle, breaking through strongholds where Jesus has already fought for you and won.

Twenty-five years after the publication of his groundbreaking first
book, Malcolm Gladwell returns with “curiosity and humor” in this New
York Times bestseller that reframes the lessons of The Tipping Point in
a startling and revealing light (Shannon Carlin).
Why is Miami…Miami? What does the heartbreaking fate of the cheetah
tell us about the way we raise our children? Why do Ivy League schools
care so much about sports? What is the Magic Third, and what does it
mean for racial harmony? In this provocative new work, Malcolm Gladwell
returns for the first time in twenty-five years to the subject of
social epidemics and tipping points, this time with the aim of
explaining the dark side of contagious phenomena.
Through a series of riveting stories, Gladwell traces the rise of a new
and troubling form of social engineering. He takes us to the streets of
Los Angeles to meet the world’s most successful bank robbers,
rediscovers a forgotten television show from the 1970s that changed the
world, visits the site of a historic experiment on a tiny cul-de-sac in
northern California, and offers an alternate history of two of the
biggest epidemics of our day: COVID and the opioid crisis. Revenge of
the Tipping Point is Gladwell’s most personal book yet. With his
characteristic mix of storytelling and social science, he offers a
guide to making sense of the contagions of modern world. It’s time we
took tipping points seriously.
