The One Truth is the One Thing that Explains Everything The One
Truth, by 14x best-selling author and thought leader Jon Gordon,
guides you on a path to discover revolutionary insights, ancient
truths and practical strategies to elevate your mind, unlock your
power and live life to the fullest. The One Truth is that our state
of mind, the thoughts we think, the words we say, the life we live,
the power we have and everything we experience is ultimately
influenced by oneness and separateness. As you learn about the
unseen forces that lower your state of mind, separate and weaken
you and the hidden power that elevates your mind, unites and
strengthens you, you’ll see life through a new lens, think with
more clarity, confidence and act at higher level. Once you know the
One Truth, you’ll see how it impacts leadership, teamwork,
mindset, performance, relationships, addictions, social media,
anxiety, mental health, healing and ultimately determines what you
create and experience. For example, a team that is divided is
disconnected and powerless. A team that is united is connected and
powerful. The same applies to you. When you feel a sense of
oneness, connection, and unity you feel strong. When you feel
separate, you feel disconnected and weak. The truth is, we are not
meant to go through life feeling anxious, disconnected, insecure,
cluttered, chronically stressed, worried and sad most of the time.
We are meant to heal the hole in our soul and become whole. We are
meant to live with hope, clarity, power, purpose, and confidence.
The One Truth will show you how!
We are not positive because life is easy. We are positive because
life can be hard. As a leader, you will face numerous obstacles,

leadership is essential! Positive leadership is not about fake
positivity. It is the real stuff that makes great leaders great.
The research is clear. Being a positive leader is not just a nice
way to lead. It's the way to lead if you want to build a great
culture, unite your organization in the face of adversity, develop

Bestselling author and TEDx speaker Jordan Gross's What Happens in
Tomorrow World? offers a poignant, relatable, and necessary parable
for navigating uncertainty. What Happens in Tomorrow World? tells
the story of Opti, Pessi, Chill, and Sage-four prizes found in a
traditional arcade claw machine game, and what happens when one
special player, Cayla "Catch" Alltoys, plays their game. As Catch
maneuvers the claw over, down, and around them, the four prizes
face their own crisis-the possibility of what will happen when they
are removed from their safe environment and thrust into the unknown
"real" world. Each prize reacts in one of the four typical
responses most people have to facing uncertain situations. And it
is through those reactions, and subsequent actions, that they-and
we-learn how our own responses to uncertainty can either help or
harm ourselves, those around us, and society as a whole. An
urgently needed guide for managing the anxiety and ambiguity in our
daily lives, this book will help readers thrive in challenging
situations. Through this memorable story, you'll learn: * How to
embrace uncertainty in all parts of life * Why no single response
to uncertainty works for every situation * How various personality
types typically respond differently to uncertainty * Why it's
crucial to resist responding negatively to uncertainty * Why it's
important to take action, no matter how uncertain you feel In the
spirit of Spencer Johnson's Who Moved My Cheese? presents a modern,
unique, and useful toolbox for confronting and managing the
overwhelming amount of uncertainty we face every day.
The essays in this collection explore the activities of two
populations of displaced peoples that are seldom discussed
together: Indigenous peoples and refugees or diasporic peoples
around the world. Rather than focusing on victimhood, the authors
focus on the creativity and agency of displaced peoples, thereby
emphasizing capacity and resilience. Throughout their chapters,
they show how cultural activities-from public performance to
filmmaking to community arts-recur as significant ways in which
people counter the powers of displacement. This book is an
indispensable resource for displaced peoples everywhere and the
policy makers, social scientists, and others who work in concert
with them. Contributors: Catherine Graham, Subhasri Ghosh, Jon
Gordon, Maroussia Hajdukowski-Ahmed, Agnes Kramer-Hamstra, Mazen
Masri, Jean McDonald, and Pavithra Narayanan.

"Fight the Good Fight" provides inspiration for individuals who
choose to embrace adversity in order to reach success. Over twenty
years ago Ben Newman suffered the loss of her mother after years of
watching her health deteriorate. After her tragic passing, his
grandmother gave him an unexpected gift, in the form of a journal
his mother left behind... Though the journal was intended to simply
serve as a record of his mother's medical ordeal and not as a
personal memoir for others, upon reading it Ben and his brother
discovered a surprising abundance of wisdom imparted within its
pages. Being able to see his mother's thoughts on how to live as a
champion amidst the battle for her life inspired and touched Ben,
as much as if this journal was a letter written personally to him.
As Ben Newman shares select passages of the journal in his book,
"Fight the Good Fight," his greatest hope is that you as the reader
will be inspired and encouraged by his mother's struggle and
endurance. A journey that is poignant, emotional, and sometimes
heartbreaking, this is a story that you will remember forever in
your soul. "This book really touched me. I believe it will cause
you to reflect upon and honor the heroes of your past and inspire
you to create your future." -Jon Gordon, Author of "The Energy Bus"
and "Training Camp" "'Fight the Good Fight' will enable you to live
with more purpose and conviction, and will provide the tools to
unleash the champion in you!" -Roland Williams, 8-year NFL veteran
and Super Bowl Champion
If you have ever said "I wish I had more energy" or "I just
don't have the energy" then you need to Become an Energy Addict. We
all wish we had more energy to meet the increasing demands of every
day life. And we all wish we had more time to do all the things on
our to-do list. Many of us are overstressed, overworked and
overtired. The problem is that it's not getting any easier. Somehow
the days are getting shorter while our to-do lists are getting
longer. Our pace of life continues to get faster and the demands
continue to increase. We fight through each day, battling fatigue
and headaches, stress and frustration, depression and grumpiness,
back and neck problems. We attempt to fight back with caffeinated
drinks and candy bars with the hope that they will give us just
enough energy to accomplish our tasks before we crash. But when the
caffeine and sugar wears off we are left feeling tired once again.
Tomorrow it starts all over. We need more energy and time but where
do we find them? Unless Congress passes the 25 hour day, we can't
increase the amount of hours in our day. Thankfully, there is
another way. We can become an Energy Addict. We can learn simple,
powerful strategies to increase our mental, physical and spiritual
energy. We can become addicted to positive energy and habits. And
we can make small changes in our lives that will produce big
results.
"Sustainable development is, for government and industry at least,
primarily a way of turning trees into lumber, tar into oil, and
critique into consent; a way to defend the status quo of growth at
any cost." -from the Introduction In Unsustainable Oil: Facts,
Counterfacts and Fictions, Jon Gordon makes the case for
re-evaluating the theoretical, political, and environmental issues
around petroleum extraction. Doing so, he argues, will reinvigorate
our understanding of the culture and the ethics of energy
production in Canada. Rather than looking for better facts or
better interpretations of the facts, Gordon challenges us to
embrace the future after oil. Reading fiction can help us
understand the cultural-ecological crisis that we inhabit. In
Unsustainable Oil, using the lens of Alberta's bituminous sands, he
asks us to consider literature's potential to open space for
creative alternatives.
