Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead by Brene Brown (30 Minute Expert Summary): 30 Minute Expert Summary: Amazon.com: Kindle Store

Book Description

Do you live your life to the fullest? Or does shame and the need for perfection prevent you from being vulnerable and facing your fears? Are you tired of shying away from challenges, and desire to live courageously?

Daring Greatly ...in 30 Minutes is the essential guide to quickly understanding how to embrace fears and live vulnerably as outlined in Brené Brown's best-selling book, Daring Greatly.

Understand the key ideas behind Daring Greatly in a fraction of the time:

* Concise chapter-by-chapter synopses
* Essential insights and takeaways highlight the importance of daring greatly
* Illustrative case studies reveal Brown's groundbreaking research on shame and vulnerability

In Daring Greatly, best-selling author and research professor Brené Brown explores the world of shame and vulnerability. Having spent ten years conducting research on the subject, Brown posits that life is not about winning or losing, but about having the courage to enter the arena and dare greatly.

According to Brown, people's belief that they are not enough, and do not have enough, spills over into their workplaces, affects their social lives, and causes distress within their families. The way to counteract this condition, says Brown, is to cultivate Wholeheartedness--to feel a sense of self-worth in the face of uncertainty and risk.

In Daring Greatly, Brown explains that if people can learn to practice vulnerability, they can find deeper connections with family members, friends, and coworkers--and, perhaps most important, they can establish compassionate and loving relationships with themselves. An essential read for anyone who aspires to bring purpose to their life, Daring Greatly provides the tools for living a worthy, connected, and authentic life.

A 30 Minute Expert Summary of Daring Greatly

Designed for those whose desire to learn exceeds the time they have available, the Daring Greatly expert summary helps readers quickly and easily become experts ...in 30 minutes.

Book Description

Incest hurts children and confuses them. This general statement fits most if not all incest cases, but from there each family situation is different. This 8-page article shows that professionals and family members who want to understand particular families where incest has occurred must be open to a multitude of possibilities and only come to conclusions when they can document them. It does no one any good for professionals and family members to believe and act as if all families where incest has occurred are the same.

The more that individuals know about the variations within families where incest has happened, the more prepared we are to turn beliefs that incest is wrong into actions that foster children's recovery and their chances for fulfilling lives. This article is from her book Child Sexual Abuse: From Harsh Realities to Hope.

Book Description

Fast & Easy Emotional Trauma & PTSD Treatment: Get over betrayal, bereavement, abuse, breakup, humiliation, guilt and disappointment.

Our entire lives consist of series of events.

All that we believe about ourselves, others, the world at large, the cosmos and life in general is based on events, which we have experienced and to which we have assigned a particular meaning.
Our emotional traumas also have been created by one or more events in our lives.
Such events usually happen unexpectedly, we are not prepared for them and we feel powerless to prevent them.

As a matter of fact it is not the events themselves that create our emotional traumas, but the meaning we assign to those events and the negative emotions we associate with the events.

This book will give you an astonishing technique, which will allow you to erase in a matter of minutes and sometimes even just in seconds all negative emotions associated with a specific event.

When the negative emotions associated with the event are eliminated the meaning you assign to the event will be transformed naturally and effortlessly.

You will be able to see the positive side of the event and to perceive it not as a disaster, but as an opportunity to learn, change, grow and evolve.

You can quickly, easily and permanently eliminate any type of emotional trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder with the technique presented in this book.

This will allow you to:

Forgive and forget

Mend your broken heart

Eliminate grief

Heal the emotional scars of psychological and physical abuse

Treat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

Overcome humiliation and disappointment

Relieve stress in your daily life

Release guilt, fear, anger, shame and sorrow

Obtain emotional mastery

Relax and acquire peace of mind

It is great for psychology therapists as well.
They can do wonders with it, without the need to make their clients go through painful memories over and over again, as this is done nowadays in cognitive and talk therapy.

The more traumatic events from your past you treat with this technique the more positive your thinking, relationships, attitude towards your environment, self image, behavior and whole outlook on life will become.

• The change in you shall be evident in the way you talk, walk, think, breathe and behave.


• You will be able to freely speak about your previous problems.


• You will totally change your attitude towards your previous issues.


• Your physical appearance, energy levels and posture will change.


• Your breathing will become fuller, deeper and easier.


• Your self-esteem will improve immensely.


• And you will speak excitedly about all new insights you are having.

Book Description

Breaking Free of Con Artists, Sociopaths & Predators helps you recognize "life-taking" con artists, sociopaths and predators. These folks see your niceness and "life-giving" as a weakness, and you as an ideal "mark." Janae talks about how she decided to use her own experiences of being victimized to "get smart" rather than be a victim.
This first book in the 3-book series will help you identify con artists, sociopaths and predators and looks at them as life-takers. It uses the Avatar movie to create a simple framework for understanding these complicated people, and Life-Giving and Life-Taking as a framework for understanding the differences between two very different groups of people .
This first book will also help you recognize Life-Takers in a way that isn't filled with judgments and "bad-making."

Breaking Free of Con Artists, Sociopaths & Predators will help you if you:
Are softhearted, caring and sometimes gullible
Love kids & animals
Avoid and despise violence
Attract people who steal your heart or use you
Often try to fix broken or wounded people
Would rather "get smart" rather than be a victim
Want a con artist-free life
Wish to be free of illusions and being sucked into con jobs
Want to use your conscience and your dilemmas to help you become more self-aware

Book Description

New York Times bestselling author Peter F. Hamilton's riveting new thriller combines the nail-biting suspense of a serial-killer investigation with clear-eyed scientific and social extrapolation to create a future that seems not merely plausible but inevitable.
?
A century from now, thanks to a technology allowing instantaneous travel across light-years, humanity has solved its energy shortages, cleaned up the environment, and created far-flung colony worlds. The keys to this empire belong to the powerful North family—composed of successive generations of clones. Yet these clones are not identical. For one thing, genetic errors have crept in with each generation. For another, the original three clone "brothers" have gone their separate ways, and the branches of the family are now friendly rivals more than allies.
?
Or maybe not so friendly. At least that's what the murder of a North clone in the English city of Newcastle suggests to Detective Sidney Hurst. Sid is a solid investigator who'd like nothing better than to hand off this hot potato of a case. The way he figures it, whether he solves the crime or not, he'll make enough enemies to ruin his career.
?
Yet Sid's case is about to take an unexpected turn: because the circumstances of the murder bear an uncanny resemblance to a killing that took place years ago on the planet St. Libra, where a North clone and his entire household were slaughtered in cold blood. The convicted slayer, Angela Tramelo, has always claimed her innocence. And now it seems she may have been right. Because only the St. Libra killer could have committed the Newcastle crime.
?
Problem is, Angela also claims that the murderer was an alien monster.
?
Now Sid must navigate through a Byzantine minefield of competing interests within the police department and the world's political and economic elite . . . all the while hunting down a brutal killer poised to strike again. And on St. Libra, Angela, newly released from prison, joins a mission to hunt down the elusive alien, only to learn that the line between hunter and hunted is a thin one.

Publication Date: April 22, 2013 | ISBN-10: 0300178794 | ISBN-13: 978-0300178791 A search for a radio-tagged Indiana bat roosting in the woods behind her house in New York's Hudson Valley led Akiko Busch to assorted other encounters with the natural world—local ecological monitoring projects, community-organized cleanup efforts, and data-driven citizen science research. Whether pulling up water chestnuts in the Hudson River, measuring beds of submerged aquatic vegetation, or searching out vernal pools, all illuminated the role of ordinary citizens as stewards of place. In this elegantly written book, Busch highlights factors that distinguish twenty-first-century citizen scientists from traditional amateur naturalists: a greater sense of urgency, helpful new technologies, and the expanded possibilities of crowdsourcing.?The observations here look both to precisely recorded data sheets and to the impressionistic marginalia, scribbled asides, and side roads that often attend such unpredictable outings. While not a primer on the prescribed protocols of citizen science, the book combines vivid natural history, a deep sense of place, and reflection about our changing world. Musing on the expanding potential of citizen science, the author celebrates today's renewed volunteerism and the opportunities it offers for regaining a deep sense of connection to place.

Book Description

Teaching research methods for 25 years provided the author with insights into effective ways to engage both enthusiastic and reluctant students in the games that scientists play. Many students are challenged to learn a new language dedicated to communicating and interacting on research method topics with both rudimentary and expert scientists. Consistent with Pink's motivational research book (Drive, 2009), students excel when they have a purpose, master the knowledge base, and are given autonomy to use the information. This eBook describes the principles, concepts, and procedures for planning and conducting research. The easy to read writing style covers a broad knowledge base and integrates many of the concepts with real world empirical examples. Acquiring the functional skills necessary to become an independent, critically thinking scientist is a worthy purpose. Extensive discussions include science, variability, experimental design, statistics, and relevant rules for proceeding from sitting on the bench to being a player in science. Research methods mastery comes from intense learning of the specific information and extensive practice situations to develop expertise. Indeed, reading, writing, and reciting the rules involved in scientific problem solving, designing sound experiments, analyzing data appropriately, and examining internally valid and invalid conclusions contributes to mastery. Once students are able to apply the knowledge, write coherent reviews evaluating the literature, determine causal relationships leading to evidence-based decision-making, then autonomy is apparent. Reading and studying this research methods eBook will help you become a productive member and consumer of science.

Increasing your knowledge on the rules for planning and conducting experiments is important for all types of academic majors. Students from applied physiology and kinesiology, exercise science, exercise physiology, motor behavior, sport psychology, sport management, physical therapy, and occupational therapy readily acquired and used this knowledge. This eBook focuses on causes and effects as the most important for advancing science, whereas threats to internal validity are potential confounds. Minimizing threats to internal validity should be a primary goal in selecting an appropriate experimental design as well as considering appropriate statistical analyses. Thus, engage in research methods, develop functional skills, and become fulfilled.

Book Description

Release date: February 5, 2013 | ISBN-10: 0865478007 | ISBN-13: 978-0865478008 We like to imagine that medicine is based on evidence and the results of fair tests. In reality, those tests are often profoundly flawed. We like to imagine that doctors are familiar with the research literature about a drug, when in reality much of the research is hidden from them by drug companies. We like to imagine that doctors are impartially educated, when in reality much of their education is funded by the pharmaceutical industry. We like to imagine that regulators let only effective drugs onto the market, when in reality they approve useless drugs, with data on side effects casually withheld from doctors and patients.

All these problems have been shielded from public scrutiny because they're too complex to capture in a sound bite. But Ben Goldacre shows that the true scale of this murderous disaster fully reveals itself only when the details are untangled. He believes we should all be able to understand precisely how data manipulation works and how research misconduct on a global scale affects us.

With Goldacre's characteristic flair and a forensic attention to detail, Bad Pharma reveals a shockingly broken system and calls for something to be done. This is the pharmaceutical industry as it has never been seen before.

Book Description

Release date: January 8, 2013 Victorian philosopher William James had a theory about emotion and behavior: It isn't that our feelings guide our actions (feel happy and you will laugh). On the contrary, it is our actions that guide our emotions (laugh and you will feel happy). This led James to a remarkable conclusion: "If you want a quality, act as if you already have it." Roused by James's astonishing discovery, renowned psychologist and bestselling author Richard Wiseman confirms James's principle and shows how the self-help genre has for too long put the cart before the horse in trying to help us take control of our lives. Bringing to the table a dazzling array of firsthand experiments, surprising histories, and psychological case studies, Wiseman illustrates in brilliant detail how we can apply this principle in our daily lives:

—Smile to become measurably happier

—Wash your hands to drive away guilt

—Clench your fist to increase your willpower

—Eat with your non-dominant hand to lose weight

—Nod while speaking to become more persuasive

—Act like a newlywed to rekindle your marriage

Lively, engaging, and truly mind-changing, The As If Principle is that rare gem that offers real, workable solutions for your day-to-day goals while helping you to instantly take control of your emotions. Whether it's quitting a bad habit, persevering through a difficult task, or achieving your dream self, The As If Principle can help. Don't just think about changing your life. Do it.
