THERE REALLY IS MORE TO THIS LIFE THAN YOU’VE BEEN TOLD We’ve been demanding our way since day one… “I want a spouse that makes me happy and co-workers that always ask my opinion.” “I want weather that suits me and traffic that helps me and a government that serves me.” Self-promotion. Self-preservation. Self-centeredness… “IT’S ALL ABOUT ME.” They all told us it was, didn’t they? And we took them up on it. We though self-celebration would make us happy… But believing that has created chaos-noisy homes, stress-filled business, cutthroat relationships.

If you want to shift into high gear with purpose, this is it: Life makes sense when we accept our place!

Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us

41Jv8LWqhJL. SL160  Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us

Product Description
Forget everything you thought you knew about how to motivate people–at work, at school, at home. It’s wrong. As Daniel H. Pink explains in his new and paradigm-shattering book Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, the secret to high performance and satisfaction in today’s world is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world.

Drawing on four decades of scientific research on human motivation, Pink exposes the mismatch between what science knows and what business does–and how that affects every aspect of our lives. He demonstrates that while the old-fashioned carrot-and-stick approach worked successfully in the 20th century, it’s precisely the wrong way to motivate people for today’s challenges. In Drive, he reveals the three elements of true motivation:

*Autonomy- the desire to direct our own lives
*Mastery- the urge to get be… More >>

I Don’t Want to Talk About It: Overcoming the Secret Legacy of Male Depression

51MW0N35KSL. SL160  I Dont Want to Talk About It: Overcoming the Secret Legacy of Male Depression

Product Description
Twenty years of experience treating men and their families has convinced psychotherapist Terrence Real that depression is a silent epidemic in men — that men hide their condition from family, friends, and themselves to avoid the stigma of depression’s “un-manliness.” Problems that we think of as typically male — difficulty with intimacy, workaholism, alcoholism, abusive behavior, and rage-are really attempts to escape depression. And these escape attempts only hurt the people men love and pass their condition on to their children. This groundbreaking book is the “pathway out of darkness” that these men and their families seek. Real reveals how men can unearth their pain, heal themselves, restore relationships, and break the legacy of abuse. He mixes penetrating analysis with compelling tales of his patients and even his own experiences with depression as the son of a violent, depressed father and the father of two young sons.Amazon.com Review

Product Description
Steve Harvey, the host of the nationally syndicated Steve Harvey Morning Show, can’t count the number of impressive women he’s met over the years, whether it’s through the “Strawberry Letters” segment of his program or while on tour for his comedy shows. These are women who can run a small business, keep a household with three kids in tiptop shape, and chair a church group all at the same time. Yet when it comes to relationships, they can’t figure out what makes men tick. Why? According to Steve it’s because they’re asking other women for advice when no one but another man can tell them how to find and keep a man. In Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, Steve lets women inside the mindset of a man and sheds lights on concepts and questions such as: —The Ninety Day Rule: Ford requires it of its employees. Should you require it of your man? —How to spot a mama’s boy and what if anything you can do about it. —When to introduce the kids. And what t… More >>
