'Helps you keep achieving - and find peace and happiness in the
process' Amy Edmondson We are living an earned life when the
choices, risks, and effort we make in each moment align with an
overarching purpose in our lives, regardless of the eventual
outcome. In his most personal and powerful work to date,
world-renowned leadership coach Marshall Goldsmith offers a better
way to approach fulfilment that goes against everything we're
taught about achievement. Taking inspiration from Buddhism,
Goldsmith reveals that the key to living the earned life, unbound
by regret, requires connecting the habit of earning rewards to
something greater than our personal successes. Goldsmith implores
readers to avoid the Great Western Disease of "I'll be happy
when...." He offers practical advice and exercises aimed at helping
us shed the obstacles that prevent us from creating fulfilling
lives. From learning to privilege your future over your present,
knowing how to weigh up opportunity and risk accurately, honing
your 'one-trick genius' and needing to earn credibility twice, the
book is packed with transformative insights and tools that will
help readers close the gap between what they plan to achieve and
what they actually get done-and avoid the trap of existential
regret, the kind that reroutes destinies and persecutes our
memories. Full of illuminating stories from Goldsmith's legendary
career as a coach to some of the world's highest-achieving leaders
and reflections on his own life, The Earned Life is a roadmap for
ambitious people seeking a higher purpose. 'Inspiring insight from
the world's top coach. Goldsmith left me tingling from the journey
of reflection I'd been taken on' Bruce Daisley
In business - as in life - the right behaviours matter. But getting
it right is tricky. Even when we acknowledge the need to change
what we do and how we do it, life has a habit of getting in the
way, upsetting even the best-laid plans. And just how do we manage
those situations that can provoke even the most rational among us
into behaving in ways we would rather forget? Triggers confronts
head-on the challenges of behaviour and change, looking at the
external factors (or 'triggers') - both negative and positive -
that affect our behaviours, our awareness of when we need to
change, our willingness (or otherwise) to do so and our ability to
see the change through. Drawing on his unparalleled experience as
an international executive educator and coach, Marshall Goldsmith
invites us to understand how our own beliefs and the environments
in which we operate can trigger negative behaviours, or a
resistance to the need to change. But he also offers up some
simple, practical advice to help us navigate the negative and make
the most of the triggers that will help us to sustain positive
change.
Whether you are near the top of the ladder or still have a ways to
climb, this book serves as an essential guide to help you eliminate
your dysfunctions and move to where you want to go.
Marshall Goldsmith is an expert at helping global leaders overcome

price tag. But, in this book, you get Marshall's great advice
without the hefty fee
"Marshall Goldsmith is one of the most credible thought leaders in
the new era of business."-The Economist

seen him teach. In my opinion, he is the best at what he does, bar
none. He has that rare combination that makes a great
teacher-thought leadership, classroom management, and
presence."-Vijay Govindarajan, professor and director, Center for
Global Leadership, Tuck School, Dartmouth University
"America's preeminent executive coach."-Fast Company
In "American Bracketology," Mark Reiter and Richard Sandomir take
the elegant art of "bracketology" and use it as an eye- opening and
hilarious tool to celebrate everything that's good, bad, and silly
in our American way of life.
- It's great entertainment: Americans have an insatiable appetite
for knowing what is good, better, and best in their world. If the
issue is historical, they want their knowledge base refined. If the
issue is sociopolitical, they want their preferences acknowledged.
If the issue is popular culture, they want to be entertained. If
it's a consumer issue, they don't want to be cheated. For the
uninitiated, bracketol- ogy is, literally, "the study of brackets."
It derives from the bracket format used to rank the top sixty-four
basketball teams in the annual NCAA tournament known as March
Madness. That knockout tournament format, the subject of heated
debate among hundreds of thousands of people participating in
office pools around the land, gave birth to the term bracketology.
This is a book that allows Americans to play this game on a much
bigger field. The authors have assigned more than 150
brackets--tackling challenges from the serious to the comic, the
vital to the trivial--to the finest experts, writers, and
personalities this country has on tap.
- It's authoritative: So imagine: Gail Collins on First Ladies,
Walter Isaacson on Ben Franklin Wisdom, David Remnick on
Pound-for-Pound-fighters, Calvin Trillin on Sandwiches--you get the
picture. Frank Rick on The Underserving Hall of Fame, Kevin Conley
on Greatest Movie Stunts, Paul Slansky on the Lucky Sperm Club.
