Brandon Webb to żywa legenda amerykańskich sił zbrojnych. Zanim stanął do walki z wrogiem, musiał pokonać dużo potężniejszego przeciwnika – własną słabość. Instruktorzy Navy SEALs natychmiast ją dostrzegli. Wśród nich obdarzony zimnym, błękitnym spojrzeniem i równie zimnym sercem instruktor Shoulin, który postanowił zrobić wszystko, żeby Webb nie został SEALsem. Aby przetrwać ekstremalnie wymagające szkolenie, młody rekrut musiał udowodnić, że nie sposób go złamać. Dzięki sile charakteru nie tylko spełnił marzenie o służbie w SEALs, ale sam został doskonałym trenerem. Webb pokazuje, jak wiele determinacji i poświęcenia potrzeba, żeby zrealizować swoje życiowe plany. Jako żołnierz znalazł się w piekle afgańskiej wojny, gdzie miał okazję sprawdzić się w ekstremalnych warunkach. Swoje bezcenne doświadczenia wykorzystał w pracy szkoleniowca. Webb stworzył najbardziej wymagający i zarazem najskuteczniejszy na świecie program treningowy dla przyszłych snajperów. „Świetna lektura dla każdego, kto marzy o osiąganiu celów, które pozornie wydają się nieosiągalne – na każdej ścieżce życia”. Richard Marcinko, autor Komandosa “Elektryzująca, znakomicie napisana opowieść o światowej elicie snajperów. Webb ze szczerością i dynamiką opisuje treningi, niebezpieczne akcje i rozterki, które są kosztami tak obranego stylu życia. Czerwony krąg to doskonała książka”. Howard E. Wasdin, autor głośnego Snajpera

In diesem Buch beschreibt Burrus anhand zahlreicher Fallbeispiele, auf welche Weise seine sieben Zukunftsflash-Impulse kleinen Firmen und internationalen Konzernen, Einzelpersonen und ganzen Branchen zu traumhaften Karrieresprüngen und Erfolg verhalfen. »Wäre es nicht großartig, wenn Sie die Zukunft vorhersagen könnten – und Recht behielten?«, fragt Burrus. Und weiter: »Sie können es. Sie müssen dabei nur die Punkte ausklammern, in denen Sie sich täuschen könnten. Das Erstaunliche ist nämlich: Selbst dann bleibt immer noch mehr als genug übrig, um absolut korrekte Prognosen erstellen zu können, die für Sie den Unterschied zwischen einer sicheren, erfolgreichen oder einer ungewissen, riskanten Zukunft bedeuten«.

“Code to Joy offers a simple, powerful, and brilliant method for experiencing authentic happiness from the inside out . . . the basis of outer success.” —Marci Shimoff, New York Times-bestselling author of Happy for No Reason We are meant to be happy. Instinctively, we all know this, somewhere deep inside. We all know what it’s like to feel a burst of delight. Every one of us has at some point in our lives experienced a sense of ecstatic joy, of euphoria at the sheer sensation of being alive. Have you ever wondered why that experience has to be so rare and fleeting? The answer is, it doesn’t. —from Code to Joy All the positive thinking, affirmations, talk therapy, and pharmaceuticals in the world will never be enough to make us as happy as we were designed to be, according to acclaimed clinical psychologists George Pratt, PhD, and Peter Lambrou, PhD. That’s because those approaches fail to address a third aspect of the human organism, one that bridges the gap between mind and body: the biofield. Combining six decades of clinical experience with cutting-edge research, Drs. Pratt and Lambrou have developed a revolutionary program for rediscovering (and then never again letting go of) your innate happiness in four simple, proven steps. Pratt and Lambrou’s program has already transformed the lives of more than 45,000 clients, including professional athletes, top executives, and celebrities. Code to Joy can transform yours, too, with all the science-based tools and guidance you need to complete the process of becoming a more focused, more powerful, and more deeply joyful you. “Drs. Lambrou and Pratt’s work has had a fabulous impact on my life.” —Ken Blanchard, Ph.D., #1 New York Times–bestselling author

“Una pregunta rápida: ¿tratar con dinero, pensar en él, ganarlo o gastarlo te hace feliz o te agobia? Si no te hace feliz, entonces necesitas leer este extraordinario libro, ahora mismo.” Si el dinero fuera sólo cuestión de matemáticas, nadie se pillaría los dedos con él. Lo que el dinero implica es mucho más complejo: sentimientos, autoestima, estatus... Es un entramado tan complejo que nos lleva a cometer muchos errores de bulto una y otra vez. Los autores ponen al descubierto estos prejuicios y enseñan al lector a utilizar el dinero de forma inteligente y racional.

With their national bestseller The Go-Giver, Bob Burg and John David Mann took the business world by storm, showing that giving is the most fulfilling and effective path to success. That simple, profound story has inspired hundreds of thousands of readers around the world-but some have wondered how its lessons stand up to the tough challenges of everyday real-world business. Now Burg and Mann answer that question in Go-Givers Sell More, a practical guide that makes giving the cornerstone of a powerful and effective approach to selling. Most of us think of sales as convincing potential customers to do something they don''t really want to. This mentality sets up an adversarial relationship and makes the sales process much harder than it has to be. As Burg and Mann demonstrate, it''s far more productive (and satisfying) when salespeople think like Go-Givers. Cultivate a trusting relationship and focus exclusively on creating value for the other person, say the authors, and great results will follow automatically. Drawing on a wide range of examples of real-life salespeople who have prospered by giving more, Burg and Mann offer tips and strategies that anyone in sales can start applying right away.

Si l''on vous posait la question suivante : " Quel est le revenu qu''il vous faudrait pour être à l''aise ? ", il y a fort à parier que vous répondriez : " Le double de ce que j''ai actuellement ! " C''est ce que répondent neuf personnes sur dix... Mais si l''on vous accordait cette somme, nul doute que vous doubleriez encore vos aspirations ! Ce décalage est celui qui existe entre l''" argent-chose " (billets, chèques, carte de crédit) et l''argent tel que nous le percevons de manière inconsciente. Car l''argent contient une telle charge symbolique qu''il mobilise une gamme de sentiments très large. Sensation d''autonomie, de pouvoir, de sécurité... ou au contraire dépendance, angoisse, culpabilité : chacun développe très tôt son propre rapport à l''argent, une histoire personnelle qui guide, de manière inconsciente, toute sa vie. David Krueger vous propose de découvrir cette histoire afin d''en modifier le cours. Car changer ses comportements en matière d''argent, c''est possible ! A l''aide de questionnaires et de tests, il apporte à chacun les moyens d''y voir plus clair en décortiquant les composantes qui constituent son scénario personnel. Une fois cette étape franchie, il est possible de réécrire ce scénario et de modifier ses comportements en adoptant des stratégies désormais conscientes et rationnelles. Pratique et convivial, ce livre aidera tous ceux qui souhaitent clarifier leurs rapports à l''argent et améliorer leurs finances.

If money were about math, none of us would be carrying any debt. The numbers are simple. What’s complicated is what we do with money. We use money to soothe our feelings and buy respect, to show how much we care or how little. We don’t simply earn, save, and spend money: we flirt with it, crave it, and scorn it; we punish and reward ourselves with it. Without realizing it, we give money meaning it doesn’t really have—what former psychiatrist and current business coach David Krueger calls our “money story.” And in the process of playing out that money story, we often sacrifice the most important things in our life: our health, freedom, relationships, and happiness. What is your money story? Do you consistently spend more than you have? Do you follow the herd in your investments—even though you know the herd is usually wrong? Have you neglected to save for the future, even when you have the means? Do you feel controlled or shackled by debt? Is your money somehow never “enough”? Is money, or the lack of it, always on your mind? The Secret Language of Money is a guided tour to the subconscious meanings we give money, the conflicted ways our braindeals with money, the reasons we tend to make the same money mistakes over and over—and most importantly, how you can change all that. A brilliant blend of cutting-edge science and real-world application, The Secret Language of Money helps you rewrite your money story and find that elusive balance of wealth, health, and joy we all seek.

Donner sans compter raconte l''histoire d''un jeune homme ambitieux, Joe, qui veut absolument réussir et qui, désespéré de parvenir à conclure une vente importante à la fin d''un mauvais trimestre, demande conseil à l''énigmatique Pindar, un consultant légendaire que ses nombreux adeptes appellent simplement " le Président ". Pindar présente alors Joe à plusieurs personnes prêtes à " donner sans compter " qui lui partageront les cinq lois de la " réussite stratosphérique " et lui enseigneront surtout comment s''ouvrir au pouvoir de donner. Joe apprend ainsi que de focaliser son attention sur l''acte de donner plutôt que sur celui de recevoir, en faisant passer en premier lieu les intérêts des gens et en ajoutant constamment de la valeur à leurs existences, mène à des bénéfices inattendus.

Why work for someone else when you can call your own shots, pursue your dreams, and find success on your terms by starting your own business? So many people end up bored with their jobs, stuck in the corporate grind, never following their true passions. As wildly successful young entrepreneur Cameron Johnson shows, you don''t have to live that way. We''ve entered a new age of entrepreneurship, with the Web making it easier than ever to start and run your own company. As Johnson''s remarkable story reveals, the entrepreneurial way of life is a great way to make sure you love what you do -- and it offers the potential to achieve extraordinary success by following your gut instincts and going for what you really want. What about the risks? Don''t you need lots of money? Don''t most start-ups fail? Johnson shares his essential secrets to entrepreneurial success that show you how he got into the life at very low risk, and, with very little money, took an idea that excited him and ran with it, achieving great success and satisfaction with businesses he loved. He didn''t have an MBA; he didn''t even have a college degree. But he had learned the simple yet vital secrets he reveals. Cameron Johnson is a seriously happy entrepreneur who started his first business when he was nine with $50 and a home computer. Before he''d turned twenty-one he''d started twelve successful businesses and was offered $10 million in venture capital to grow his hot Web company CertificateSwap.com -- praised by Entrepreneur magazine as one of the Web businesses helping the tech industry get its groove back -- even bigger. He has never taken out a loan or racked up any debt, and every one of his businesses has been highly profitable -- so profitable that he made his first million before graduating from high school, and he''s put away enough cash so that he could retire today. But that''s the last thing on earth he''d want to do; he''s much too happy starting up new companies. Through the story of his own impressive career so far, in You Call the Shots, Johnson takes you behind the scenes of entrepreneurial success and empowers you to hit the ground running with your own great business idea, no matter how young you are or how little money you have to invest.

În calitate de lunetist SEAL şi veteran de război, Brandon Webb a fost cooptat pentru a reinventa şcoala de lunetişti a puşcaşilor marini din Armata SUA, incluzând cele mai recente progrese din domeniul tehnologiei şi al balisticii. În cartea de faţă, Webb le prezintă cititorilor, în detaliu, fiecare aspect al antrenamentelor la care participă lunetiştii de la Operaţiuni Speciale, descriind modul în care aceştia sunt învăţaţi pas cu pas cum să ucidă. Şcoala lui Brandon a fost absolvită de câţiva dintre cei mai calificaţi lunetişti ai acestei generaţii, printre care fraţii Luttrell, Adam Brown şi Chris Kyle.

Toate relatările din viaţa reală a acestora vă vor ţine cu sufletul la gură şi nu veţi putea lăsa cartea din mână prea uşor.” Forbes „Instruiţi să ucidă se citeşte ca un scenariu pentru cea mai cinematografică aventură militară pe care ai văzut-o vreodată – cu excepţia faptului că fiecare cuvânt din ea este dureros de adevărat. Regizorul este aici Brandon Webb, iar filmul este despre cei patru lunetişti (Jason Delgado, Nick Irving, Rob Furlong, Alex Morrison) de la Operaţiunile Speciale ale căror poveşti le urmăreşte în cele mai mici detalii."
