Over the course of four years Matt Brown has interviewed hundreds of local and international entrepreneurs and business experts for his podcast, The Matt Brown Show, and in the process has created a lexicon of business, growth, start-up and funding hacks that anyone can learn from and implement. He has also come to the conclusion that the single defining factor between entrepreneurs who make it and those who
don’t is internal. It’s all about the inner game. Entrepreneurs with a strong inner game live, breathe and work according to a set of principles that define everything they do.
In Your Inner Game – 12 Principles for High-Impact Entrepreneurs, Matt draws on the lessons he’s learned, both as an entrepreneur who has launched nine businesses, and as a podcast host with hundreds of interviews under his belt. He delves into what separates great businesses from their mediocre peers; the mindset that entrepreneurs should embrace if they want to grow their businesses; and, ultimately, the secret
to building a business of purpose that fulfils a greater need for their founders. Full of real-life anecdotes, tips, success hacks and actionable insights that you can implement in your own start-up or business, Your Inner Game unpacks twelve principles that you can put into practise today to take your life and business from good to great.
Thoughtful, honest and willing to reveal both the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, Matt takes his readers on a journey that will give them the blueprint to relook at everything they thought they knew about business.

Forty years ago, London's Docklands had become 6,000 acres of
forgotten wasteland after over a century as the busiest port in the
world. Now these once-derelict docks are again filled with ships
and boats, forming homes and businesses for an extraordinary range
of people. Whether millionaires visiting on their superyachts,
country house executives needing a London base, young tech workers
wanting a cheaper place to live, jobbing craftsmen keeping ancient
marine trades alive or homeless people finding refuge, these are
varied and dynamic communities. Highly acclaimed London
photographer Niki Gorick focuses on St Katharine Docks, the Surrey
Docks and the Isle of Dogs to illustrate the rich mix of
personalities and activities in these converted commercial docks.
They enjoy central London locations but as floating communities
with their own nautical customs and rules, they are a world apart
from their land-based neighbours. These images reveal the amazingly
diverse modern-day life within these urban marinas.

fans of Amelia Fang!

bat, mind-speak and melt into the darkness. Which would be fine, except
he hasn't quite mastered the melt yet... If Kevin doesn't pass, he'll
be cast out forever. Is there anyone who can help him?

Is it better to prove our point? Or just try to love? Christians
today are facing a crisis of influence. In our rush to speak truth
to today's tensions, cultural issues, and trending controversies,
it becomes all too easy for us to focus on proving our points
rather than extending God's grace. Conversely, when we seek only to
love but never proclaim a better way, we short-circuit God's plan.
As believers in Christ, we need to be known for both truth and
love. In this video Bible study, evangelist Matt Brown draws on the
example of the apostle Paul to show how believers can influence
their world with the truth while living in a way that reveals their
love. By developing the fruit of the Spirit, we naturally begin to
draw others to the love of Christ within us . . . and to the truth
found in God's Word. Truth plus love is the formula for
transforming our lives and influencing the world for Christ. The
Truth Plus Love Study Guide includes video teaching notes,
discussion questions, Bible exploration, and weekly personal study
and reflection materials. Sessions include: Truth Plus Joy Truth
Plus Peace Truth Plus Gentleness Truth Plus Faithfulness Truth Plus
Patience Truth Plus Love Designed for use with the Truth Plus Love
Video Study (9780310112358), sold separately. Streaming video also
available.
Indulge your curiosity with this humorous and fascinating book that demystifies the surprising myths about space.
In the latest book from the Everything You Know is Wrong series, Matt Brown brings you a compendium of amazing facts about our planet, the universe, and everything in between! Thanks to popular sci-fi films and TV shows, there have been many misconceptions about the cosmos – from travelling through worm-holes to blowing up asteroids. In Everything You Know About Space is Wrong, you'll find a plethora of myths, legends and misquotes that have shaped the way you view the universe today. Think that the vacuum of space would make your blood boil and your head explode? It won't, and there have been people who have survived without wearing a suit in space. Think that astronauts float in space because there is zero-gravity? They're actually constantly falling towards the Earth. Think that the colour of space is black? It's actually predominantly green.
Chock-full of facts about the cosmos, how it works (and how it doesn't!), this illuminating book will guide you through the mine of misinformation to answer such questions as whether we will meet aliens in our lifetime (SETI predicts we'll find evidence of ET by 2040!), what happens in the centre of the black hole, and why Mercury is not the hottest planet in the solar system. Discovering untruths about popular science, Everthing You Know About Space is Wrong provides a hugely entertaining insight into our universe.
A fascinating and humorous read that debunks the surprising myths
about the world we always believed. The latest addition to the
popular Everything You Know series, this book will blow apart your
beliefs in the world's physical and social landscape, leaving you
staggered by astounding facts about our planet's geography, nature,
countries and cities. Indulge your curiosity and you'll find a
plethora of myths, legends and misquotes that have shaped the way
you view the world today. Convinced the world is round? Think
again! It's actually flatter at the poles. Have the Sahara down as
the world's biggest desert? It's actually Antarctica. Learn how the
Mayans got it wrong when they predicted the world would end in 2012
and how a heatwave in 2003 led to a worldwide shortage of wine.
Brimming with facts about the world, how it works and the way we
live in it, this illuminating book will guide you through the
minefield of misinformation to answer questions such as whether
overpopulation could be solved by colonising space (only if we were
prepared to bankrupt our planet in the process!), what is the
shortest geographical name in the world (the answer is 'A', a
district in Sweden and Norway meaning 'river'), and why you
shouldn't measure earthquakes on the Richter scale. Discovering
untruths about people and places, geography and the environment,
Everything You Know About The World Is Wrong provides a hugely
entertaining insight into the world we live in.
A highly entertaining read for anyone with even a passing interest
in art and art history.This myth-busting book takes you on a great
ride through the lives of starving (and not so starving) artists,
unusual exhibitions and painting blunders throughout history. In
the intriguing, outrageous and often provoking world of the visual
arts, nothing is quite as it seems. From the world's first intance
of photobombing in 1843 to the Damien Hirst spot painting that
landed on Mars, the destruction of Vincent van Gogh's Sunflowers
during World War II and the GBP3,500 sheet of paper crumpled into a
ball, Everything You Know About Art is Wrong will confound your
assumptions about the world of art - and perhaps even the place of
art in the world.
A humorous and informative book, debunking a range of commonly held
myths about animals. Camels store water in their humps and magpies
love to steal shiny objects. Or do they? A must-read in the
Everything you Know series, this book debunks a range of old-cod
stories about animals in author Matt Brown's inimitable humorous
and fascinating style. Covering everything from the myth that
lemmings throw themselves off cliffs in suicide (they don't, but on
occasion some just fall off) to the one about bats being blind
(they're not, and they can see but use the more sophisticated
echolocation for certain hunting). From head in the sand ostriches
to cats landing on their feet, a wealth of information on our
beloved pets to creepy crawlies and wild giants, this book will set
the marvel of the animal word straight. Plus, there are special
features on the odd diets of animals and how wrongly they are
portrayed in the movies. All the old stories and myths about
animals we've had since childhood are gleefully debunked in a
hugely entertaining book.
A highly entertaining, myth-busting read for anyone with even a
passing interest in science.Hot on the heels of the fascinating
compendium Everything You Know About London Is Wrong, this next
book in the series, written by author Matt Brown in his trademark
humourous style, debunks the scientific myths we all take for
granted. Does nothing travel faster than the speed of light? Well,
in certain circumstances, a winded tortoise can go faster. Are
there actually seven colours in a rainbow? Think again. And our
author merrily explains why our hair and nails don't keep growing
after we die and why chemicals in our diet might not be the toxic
threats we are led to believe.Covering everything from
pseudoscience to phenomena of physics, scandals of space and
scientific misquotes, Everything You Know About Science is Wrong
shatters a range of illusions we have accepted unquestioningly
since childhood and demystifies this most puzzling of subjects.
