Wall-Street Journal Best Seller Fear is Fuel is changing lives around the globe. Find out why this is a must-read for anyone wanting the most out of their life:
Fear, the most powerful force in our life, is the least understood. Every one of us experiences it. Many arrange their lives to avoid it. Yet nearly every one of us needs to find more fear.
Most of us know fear as the unwanted force that drives phobias, anxieties, unhappiness, and inhibits self-actualization. Ironically, fear is the underlying phenomenon that heightens awareness and optimizes physical performance, and can drive ambition, courage, and success. Harnessing fear can heighten emotional intelligence and bring success to every aspect of your life.
Neuroscience and current research on how the brain processes and uses fear have torn the lid off the possibilities of human performance; yet most people are not reaching their complete potential because of a psychological roadblock Sweeney calls the Fear Frontier. Identifying your Fear Frontier and addressing it, Sweeney illustrates in these pages, is the path to success, happiness and fulfillment in almost all aspects of your life. He also provides the most effective steps toward rewiring your mind for a healthier longer life based on courage.
Fear is Fuel is a practical guide that instructs everyday readers, business & military leaders, activists, humanitarians, and educators on a unique path toward translating fear into optimal living. By facing fears, and challenging new ones, readers can harness the power of unique motivations to achieve more, experience more, and enjoy more. The path to a fulfilling life is not to avoid fear but to recognize it, understand it, harness it, and unleash its power.

their vanilla-plain AR into a firearm that is ready for anything.
This guide which, for years, has prepared military, emergency, and
first responders to face psychological, social, and physical
challenges of leading in dangerous contexts has been updated. The
author team, which includes scholars and practitioners, has
integrated current research findings, incorporated topics not
covered in the prior edition and has created a reference work
relevant to leaders at all levels (entry, mid, and senior) in
organizations that operate in dangerous contexts Leadership
in Dangerous Situations, Second Edition includes nine new chapters
that address character
development, ethical decision-making and action, leading

AR-15 owners and shooters have reached the point where many don't
have just one. They've expanded their collections to include
specific rifles for competition, hunting, or focused interest in
defense. A competition shooter wants to know which details matter
and what parts must meet competition specifications. The hunter
wants to know how to customize the AR for his or her chosen quarry,
and what level of performance those parts can be expected to
deliver. The owner of an AR for defense wants to know the best
setup for that purpose, and which modifications are unnecessary or
even ill-advised. Fans of the original AR-15 are obsessive about
authentic parts and setup. This title delivers that level of
detail. The era of plain vanilla ARs is over. Performance ARs have
arrived, and this book provides the details you need to create your
own.

Everything seems perfect in the lives of Sharon and Andy Taylor, a
successful, good-looking, happily married couple living the dream
in Manhattan. Perfect, that is, with one exception. They haven't
discussed it, but it is privately consuming both of them. What has
happened to their once steamy sex life, the hours of passionate
lovemaking, intimate exploration, and dirty talk? Discussing it
would probably be a good idea, but that alone isn't going to solve
the problem. What they do about it, however, will and could also
wind up changing them, as individuals, and as a couple, forever.
Hunters, military enthusiasts, self-defense experts and
target-shooting competitors alike will find favor with a reference
devoted to a firearm touted as one of the best small caliber rifles
ever invented. The Gun Digest Book of the AR-15 delivers details
about the evolution of the rifle from its introduction to military
action in the 1960s to its popularity at today's competitions and
training centers. This book provides 500+ photos, details on
function, barrel options, caliber, weight for various models, and
an explanation of AR versus AK. In addition, tips on cleaning and
maintenance, information about myths surrounding the AR-15, key
legal information and results of product tests from today's major
manufacturers are covered.

Let’s be blunt: library funding is political. And the struggle to
secure funding is ongoing; the work that librarians need to do to
influence local politics doesn’t just pop up in the few months
before Election Day. It should span across the years before or
between elections. The authors’ previous book Winning Elections
and Influencing Politicians for Library Funding targeted library
ballot committees and advocacy organizations. But their new book
speaks directly to librarians, library staff, and boards. It is
designed to help library leaders understand and navigate the
political nature of their work in the years leading up to a ballot
measure or political initiative. Sharing the tools and tactics
developed by their organization EveryLibrary, the nation’s first
and only Political Action Committee for Libraries, in this book
they discuss how the day-to-day work of librarians, their
communications with the public, and their roles and
responsibilities in the community can help increase the willingness
of public and local elected officials to support funding libraries
through taxes; guide readers through the practical side of running
a public-facing Informational Communications Campaign for their
library before Election Day; explain the concept of surfacing, the
important groundwork of occupying a strong and positive space in
the community during the years before and between ballot measures;
demonstrate why surfacing is one of the most crucial steps a
library can take to build and maintain support; share the most
recent data insights into voter attitudes about libraries and
librarians; show how libraries can coordinate internally to build
new external partners; offer advice on finding, activating, and
holding onto supporters; and discuss the path to the ballot with
practical insights about how to get onto the ballot. This essential
resource is filled with concrete steps that librarians, library
staff, and boards can take to ensure that political support is
there when they need it the most.
As the saying goes, all politics is local. And 90% of funding for
public libraries comes from the will of local politicians and, in
turn, from local voters. So it's urgent that librarians, library
supporters, and anyone interested in running an election or
campaign for a library understand the strategies, resources, and
tactics necessary for positive political action. Whether election
day is four months away or four years away, there are immediate
steps library leaders and local library ballot committees should
take to help secure a successful ballot initiative later. Written
by two experienced library campaigners, this action-driven manual
for anyone running a political campaign for libraries dives into;
proven successful campaigning techniques for rural, suburban, and
urban settings; expert analysis on how political perceptions are
formed, how political power works, and ways libraries can reach
funding or political goals; starting the discussion internally; the
right approach to setting up the committee structure, and
identifying the core leadership team for the committee; tips on
networking, cultivating good relationships with the power players
in the community, and building a winning coalition; canvassing and
direct voter contact; responding effectively to opposition,
including voters who habitually resist taxes or library funding
increases; the differences between paid media and earned media; and
best practices for marketing and message development, fundraising,
volunteer engagement, and other key areas. Filled with easy to
follow strategies, this book will guide ballot committees,
librarians, trustees, and library advocates through the process of
winning an election for funding their library. LIS students will
also benefit from the early exposure to political literacy skills
provided by this book.
