In the radical new book "Transformed , " bestselling author Dr.
Judith Wright and acclaimed speaker Dr. Bob Wright explore how
individuals can achieve lifelong transformation--in their careers,
their relationships, and their lives.
"Transformed " integrates cutting-edge findings across many fields
with groundbreaking research about the highest performing students
at the Wright's
internationally recognized leadership training institute, who
didn't just make exceptional improvements in their lives but took
remarkable leaps forward. This study, combined with over 30 years
of feedback and program development, is crafted into an effective
and compelling six-phase process for growth and transformation, the
heart of which is a person's deepest yearning and the pathway to
finding it.
Providing a powerful breakthrough to understanding why most
self-help and personal development programs don't work,
"Transformed " profiles individuals who have attained deep
fulfillment in every aspect of life and illustrates how anyone, by
following this proven process, can achieve lasting, revolutionary
transformation.
"The Wrights' book is about transformation that taps human
potential at all levels. The strength and commitment of the people
they coach and train is proof of their effectiveness." --Dr.
Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Peace Laureate and Founder of Grameen
Bank
"I've seen the results of the Wrights' science-based, proven
technologies in leaders and folks from all walks of life, and the
results are unique and powerful. The integrity, critical thinking,
and accomplishments of their students are remarkable."
--Brad Anderson, former CEO, Best Buy
""Thanks to Dr. Judith Wright and Dr. Bob Wright, we now have a
powerful and comprehensive toolkit for personal and global
awakening. If you are ready to activate your visionary birthright,
read and apply what you learn in this 'must-absorb' new book. You
will absolutely see significant changes in every domain of your
life."" --Barnet Bain, producer of "What Dreams May Come "and" The
Celestine Prophecy "and member of the Transformational Leadership
Council
Excerpt from "Transformed "
If you're like most people, you know what you want. In fact, if
pressed, you could probably rattle off a laundry list of wants:
cars, houses, vacations, jobs, electronic devices, and so on. But
when it comes to what you "yearn" for, you may draw a blank.
There's something vaguely old-fashioned about the term. It has an
Old Testament ring to it. Or it sounds like what a heroine in a
Victorian novel might say as she stares out the window of her
Gothic tower waiting for a lost love to return. As a result, you
probably haven't used "yearn" in a sentence recently. It feels
awkward on your tongue, uncertain in your mind.
But take a moment to reflect upon what you yearn for. Let your
mind go blank and listen to your heart. Imagine if your soul had a
voice and could articulate what it wants most in the world. Or,
more simply, consider what you desire deeply, what would turn your
good life into a great one.
Still nothing? That's okay. Yearning is a natural capacity you can
develop.
Or maybe you've come up with a list of things you yearn for that
are actually wants--you yearn to be rich, you yearn to travel the
world, you yearn for freedom, you yearn to have your boyfriend or
girlfriend agree to marry you, you yearn for a gigantic television.
It's okay, too, to mistake wants for yearnings--we all do it.
The good news is that we know what you yearn for--they are the
same things that everyone
in the world yearns for. Specifically, we yearn:
to matter
to love and be loved
to be seen
to contribute
to connect
to belong
to achieve mastery
to be affirmed
to connect with a higher power
There are different ways to parse these yearnings--Maslow's
hierarchy of needs is one way to view them--and we'll look at them
through various lenses, from stories of those who have learned to
yearn effectively, to perspectives including education, positive
psychology, and neuroscience to behavioral economics. But for now,
recognize that these yearnings are universal, and that by getting
in touch with them, you open your life to the possibility of
greatness.
So all you have to do is memorize this list and you're set? If
only it were that easy, we could limit the frustration of career
dissatisfaction, unfulfilling relationships, and much general
emotional pain and frustration with a snap of our fingers. Getting
in touch with what you yearn for is an attainable skill, but you
need to learn the process. We know--the word "process" sounds dull
and formulaic. But this process is neither of those things.
Instead, it's challenging, exciting, and transformational.

I am delighted to be asked to write the Foreword for Management and
Practice in Emergency Nursing. More than any other nursing
speciality Accident and Emergency work reflects change in society
because it is the casualties of social upheaval, imbalance and
inequality that you face every day. Here, unfortunately, A and E
staff are confronted on a regular basis with child abuse, family
violence, the result of terrorist activities, social violence,
motor car accidents, personal loss of loved ones, the frustrations
and aggression of life. Sometimes, though, some pleasant and funny
episodes do occur but all too infrequently to become the norm. My
own experience of A and E nursing is very limited; in fact, it goes
back to the days of the Department being linked with Orthopaedics
and being called 'Casualty' . It could, though, appear that in this
day and age the wheel is tuming full circle and moves have been
made in the last reorganization to link the two new distinct
specialities again. This proposal was met with lots of protest from
A and E staff which appears to have been defused. The arguments
stemmed mainly from the fact that orthopaedics and A and E are two
quite difficult specialities of care and skills and as such must be
seen as autonomous.
