WHAT'S YOUR GENIUS?
Forget what you think you know about genius. It's not a magical,
elusive gift -- a "lightning bolt from the gods" that strikes
people like Einstein or Mozart, but not the rest of us. Everyone's
got genius, but it's up to you to find it, put it to work, and
watch it change your life. This book will show you how to:
IDENTIFY YOUR GENIUS
"Where do your passions and your talents meet?"
EXPRESS YOUR GENIUS
"What's your story, and how do you share it with others? "
SURROUND YOUR SELF WITH GENIUS
"Who do you need in your tribe? "
SUSTAIN YOUR GENIUS
"How do you feed and care for your genius? "
MARKET YOUR GENIUS
"Why are your contradictions actually your largest competitive
advantage? "
The outcome is a profound revelation: You have the tools and
ability to realize greatness both in and out of the workplace.
Blocking for the Gipper, Lawrence "Buck" Shaw was one of Knute
Rockne's star players at Notre Dame during 1919 through 1921.
However, it was his nearly four decades of college and pro coaching
that earned him esteem. Viewed as a "player's coach," Shaw was
talented at relating to young men and molding them into a winning
team. His college teams won two Sugar bowls. Shaw's successful
coaching with the San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles also
played an integral role in helping the NFL grow into a
billion-dollar business. A contemporary of Vince Lombardi, Shaw's
Eagles won the NFL championship in the pre-Super Bowl era. A member
of the College Football Hall of Fame, Shaw never received serious
consideration for enshrinement at Canton for his professional
career. This complete biography tells the colorful story of Shaw's
college and pro years, shedding light on Shaw's over-looked
achievements in the professional ranks, which saw him earn a higher
winning percentage a half-dozen Hall of Fame coaches.

For 39 seasons at four schools, Dr. Edward N. Anderson spent autumn
afternoons roaming the sidelines of college and university
gridirons across America. Throughout his career, dignity, composure
and a penetrating focus were hallmarks of his sideline decorum.
This biography catalogues the life of that ""good doctor"" who
became dean of America's college football coaches and was enshrined
in the College Football Hall of Fame for lasting influence.
Beginning with his young life as a star player, the book relates
how Anderson mastered the game as an All-American end under Notre
Dame's legendary Knute Rockne. Then, armed with a firm command of
the so-called Notre Dame system of football, Anderson entered the
collegiate coaching ranks in 1922 and served as a head coach for
all but four of the next 43 years. Simultaneously, he devoted
himself to the practice of medicine and guided his teams to
hundreds of victories. Dr. Anderson is a football icon not only for
the indelible impression he made on hundreds of young men who had
played for him but also for his role as one of the last of an era
of gentlemen coaches who had cut their teeth on football during the
Rockne era. On the eve of his retirement from college football in
1964, Dr. Anderson was the game's elder statesman, revered by
players, fellow coaches, fans and members of the press. His
football odyssey, during which he crossed paths with the most
influential and colorful personalities of the game, is chronicled
in depth.

Pick up just about any diet book on the market and you'll see that
it's written by a doctor, nutritionist, dietitian or health guru.
Not this one. Kevin Carroll takes a look at dieting not from an
expert's point of view, but from a dieter's point of view. He knows
that lots of diets breakdown because eating habits are tough to
change, that the average person gets frustrated and gives up, and
that people want to see results without a lot of sacrifice. Given
that, he figured there had to be a better way. Inside this short
and snappy book, you'll see that The Turtle Diet is based upon the
oldest, simplest, and smartest way to lose weight - slow and steady
wins the race. By allowing time to play a supporting role, you can
get to where you want to go if you're willing to be patient. On the
other hand, if you're looking for a quick way to lose weight, then
this book is not for you.
Inside this short and snappy book, you'll discover why companies
such as Microsoft, GE, Heineken, Wrigley, Pitney Bowes and Chubb
turn to Kevin Carroll to help their people become better presenters
and speakers. Carroll, a former advertising executive, shows you
how to weave in stories, analogies, surprising statistics, props
and a whole lot more in order to make your message much more
interesting, more persuasive and more memorable. (Like the time his
client handed out a bag of M&M's to all 1,000 audience members
so they would remember the key phrase of the conference: "Mindshare
to Marketshare.") So if you want to stand out from the crowd and
really make your message stick, What's Your Hook? is for you.
