Book excerpt: "In the world of online entrepreneurship, Eben Pagan is one of the most original, brilliant thinkers out there.Opportunity is a must-read for anyone who wants to make it online." -- Larry King, award-winning television and radio host Make the most of life's opportunities with savvy internet marketer Eben Pagan's ode to opportunity: how to recognize it, how to find more of it, and how to make it work for you. Well-known entrepreneur teacher and technology investor Eben Pagan has spent thousands of hours studying opportunity. After interviewing hundreds of successful entrepreneurs, self-made millionaires, and billionaires, Eben found that successful people have something in common: they are better at finding and creating opportunity, and they're better at choosing which opportunities to bet on. This book shows you how they do it, giving you the tools to find and create a lot more opportunity in your work, in your business, with money, and in your life. In today's world, we have more options than ever to travel to new places, meet new people, start new businesses, and make new investments. But with this increase comes "opportunity shock" and the confusion that comes from having too many options. Inside this book, you'll learn: • What opportunity is, how it works, and where to find it • How entrepreneurs and investors are turning big change into big opportunity • How to discover and develop more great opportunities in business, money, investing, health, happiness, relationships, and personal development • How to overcome fear of failure so you can have more of what you want in your life • How to become an innovator and thought leader, helping others find their own opportunities "In the world of online entrepreneurship, Eben Pagan is one of the most original, brilliant thinkers out there. Opportunity is a must-read for anyone who wants to make it online." -- Larry King, award-winning television and radio host

Book excerpt: A dynamic and inspiring exploration of the new science that is redrawing the future for people in their forties, fifties, and sixties for the better—and for good. There’s no such thing as an inevitable midlife crisis, Barbara Bradley Hagerty writes in this provocative, hopeful book. It’s a myth, an illusion. New scientific research explodes the fable that midlife is a time when things start to go downhill for everybody. In fact, midlife can be a great new adventure, when you can embrace fresh possibilities, purposes, and pleasures. In Life Reimagined, Hagerty explains that midlife is about renewal: It’s the time to renegotiate your purpose, refocus your relationships, and transform the way you think about the world and yourself. Drawing from emerging information in neurology, psychology, biology, genetics, and sociology—as well as her own story of midlife transformation—Hagerty redraws the map for people in midlife and plots a new course forward in understanding our health, our relationships, even our futures.

Book excerpt: In the story of every great company and career, there is one defining moment when luck and skill collide. This book is about making that moment happen. According to Frans Johansson’s research, successful people and organizations show a common theme. A lucky moment occurs and they take advantage of it to change their fate. Consider how Diane von Furstenberg saw Julie Nixon Eisenhower on TV wearing a matching skirt and top, and created the timeless, elegant wrap-dress. That was a “click moment” of unexpected opportunity. Johansson uses stories from throughout history to illustrate the specific actions we can take to create more click moments, place lots of high-potential bets, open ourselves up to chance encounters, and harness the complex forces of success that follow.

Book excerpt: Opportunities are limitless and abundant. The problem is, many people can't recognise them. It can feel like opportunity doesn't knock for you, or other people get more opportunities, or you have bad luck and timing. You just need to know where to look. How to ask. When to ACT. Opportunity can be a window or a door; sometimes it opens right in front of you and sometimes it knocks. You need to be ready: windows, doors and eyes open. Are you waiting for that once-in-a-lifetime or business opportunity to change your life? How will you know when it comes? How will you be sure it's right for you? This book is not about waiting for an opportunity. It's a book containing strategies that can be employed immediately, ensuring you attract opportunities abundantly, both big and small, and you're ready to recognise and take them. To turn ideas into opportunities. Successful people often make their own luck - they find success because they have trained their minds to recognise great opportunities and make the most of them, rather than freezing with uncertainty or lacking the vision to see them through. They know the opportunity cost of not taking them. In this book you'll learn how to spot, seize and implement the right opportunities, and how to say NO to the wrong ones. You'll learn to take fast and slow opportunities. When opportunity appears you'll be ready to take advantage, seize the day, and win at life.

Book excerpt: Stuffocation is a movement manifesto for “experiential” living, a call to arms to stop accumulating stuff and start accumulating experiences, and a road map for a new way forward with the potential to transform our lives. Reject materialism. Embrace experientialism. Live more with less. Stuffocation is one of the most pressing problems of the twenty-first century. We have more stuff than we could ever need, and it isn’t making us happier. It’s bad for the planet. It’s cluttering up our homes. It’s making us stressed—and it might even be killing us. A rising number of us are already turning our backs on all-you-can-get consumption. We are choosing access over ownership, and taking our business to companies like Zipcar, Spotify, and Netflix. Fed up with materialism, we are ready for a new way forward. Trend forecaster James Wallman traces our obsession with stuff back to the original Mad Men, who first created desire through advertising. He interviews anthropologists studying the clutter crisis, economists searching for new ways of measuring progress, and psychologists who link stuffocation to declining well-being. And he introduces us to the innovators who are already living more consciously and with more meaning by choosing experience over stuff. Experientialism does not mean giving up all of our possessions. It is a solution that is less extreme but equally fundamental. It’s about transforming what we value. Stuffocation is a paradigm-shifting look at our habits and an inspiring call for living more with less. It’s the one important book you won’t be able to live without. Praise for Stuffocation “The revelations come fast and furious as he asserts that acquiring ‘stuff’ is often just an easy way to ignore the tougher questions of life, dodging ‘why am I here?’ and ‘how should I live?’ for ‘will that go with the top I bought last week?’ Tart and often funny . . . [Stuffocation] will be an eye-opener for those long ago persuaded that more is better. A scintillating read that will provoke conversation (or at least closet cleaning).”—Booklist “James Wallman deftly hits upon a major insight for our times: that acquiring ‘stuff’ and ‘things’ is not nearly as meaningful as collecting experiences. Some of the happiest days of my life were when I had nothing and lived on a houseboat. Without stuff to tie me down, I felt completely free.”—Blake Mycoskie, founder of TOMS and author of the New York Times bestseller Start Something That Matters “A must-read . . . We think that more stuff will make us happier, but as the book nicely shows, we’re just plain wrong. A great mix of stories and science, Stuffocation reveals the downside of more, and what we can do about it.”—Jonah Berger, author of the New York Times bestseller Contagious “Wallman offers a deeply important message by weaving contemporary social science into very engaging stories. Reading the book is such a pleasure that you hardly recognize you’re being told that you should change how you live your life.”—Barry Schwartz, author of The Paradox of Choice “With a sociologist’s eye and a storyteller’s ear, Wallman takes us on a tour of today’s experience economy from the perspective not of businesses, nor even of consumers per se, but of everyday people.”—B. Joseph Pine II and James H. Gilmore, authors of The Experience Economy

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the incomes of affluent and poor families have diverged over the past three decades, so too has the educational performance of their children. But how exactly do the forces of rising inequality affect the educational attainment and life chances of low-income children? In Whither Opportunity? a distinguished team of economists, sociologists, and experts in social and education policy examines the corrosive effects of unequal family resources, disadvantaged neighborhoods, insecure labor markets, and worsening school conditions on K-12 education. This groundbreaking book illuminates the ways rising inequality is undermining one of the most important goals of public education—the ability of schools to provide children with an equal chance at academic and economic success. The most ambitious study of educational inequality to date, Whither Opportunity? analyzes how social and economic conditions surrounding schools affect school performance and children’s educational achievement. The book shows that from earliest childhood, parental investments in children’s learning affect reading, math, and other attainments later in life. Contributor Meredith Phillip finds that between birth and age six, wealthier children will have spent as many as 1,300 more hours than poor children on child enrichment activities such as music lessons, travel, and summer camp. Greg Duncan, George Farkas, and Katherine Magnuson demonstrate that a child from a poor family is two to four times as likely as a child from an affluent family to have classmates with low skills and behavior problems – attributes which have a negative effect on the learning of their fellow students. As a result of such disparities, contributor Sean Reardon finds that the gap between rich and poor children’s math and reading achievement scores is now much larger than it was fifty years ago. And such income-based gaps persist across the school years, as Martha Bailey and Sue Dynarski document in their chapter on the growing income-based gap in college completion. Whither Opportunity? also reveals the profound impact of environmental factors on children’s educational progress and schools’ functioning. Elizabeth Ananat, Anna Gassman-Pines, and Christina Gibson-Davis show that local job losses such as those caused by plant closings can lower the test scores of students with low socioeconomic status, even students whose parents have not lost their jobs. They find that community-wide stress is most likely the culprit. Analyzing the math achievement of elementary school children, Stephen Raudenbush, Marshall Jean, and Emily Art find that students learn less if they attend schools with high student turnover during the school year – a common occurrence in poor schools. And David Kirk and Robert Sampson show that teacher commitment, parental involvement, and student achievement in schools in high-crime neighborhoods all tend to be low. For generations of Americans, public education provided the springboard to upward mobility. This pioneering volume casts a stark light on the ways rising inequality may now be compromising schools’ functioning, and with it the promise of equal opportunity in America.

Book excerpt: Can you recognize an opportunity when it comes your way? Even though the concept seems fairly basic, most people harbor regrets about missed opportunities that in retrospect might have significantly improved their lives. This book will give you the critical tools to sort through the complexities that often obscure the perception of an opportunity and help you take full advantage of what author Donald Morris calls "high-end opportunities" -- pivotal situations that can change your life for the better. Morris begins by developing a model of opportunity in the abstract, analyzing its elements and the contexts and frameworks that affect our recognition of opportunities. Drawing from a wide range of applications, including investing, business, law, criminology, gambling, and even religion, he shows how opportunities can be defined in various contexts. He also examines highly undesirable situations, where opportunity is lacking, such as poverty and historical instances of slavery, to further illustrate, by way of contrast, the defining characteristics of opportunity. How does a significant opportunity differ from a simple option? How does taking advantage of opportunities differ from being an opportunist? Does our ability to predict the future affect our opportunities? What do we mean by equality of opportunity? By addressing these and other probing questions, Morris shows how to develop more critical perceptions of real opportunities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our world is currently experiencing a global Caregiving Crisis. If you, like so many others, are increasingly concerned about your loved one's needs as they age, then ask yourself the following questions: How does your loved one see their life playing out? Where do they want to live as they age (in their own home vs. assisted living)? What kind of health do they aspire to be in? What kinds of activities do they want to engage in? If and when your loved one can no longer live independently, what is their preference (i.e., paid in-home help, assisted living or nursing facility)? Is their preference realistic considering their financial situation, and if not, what are the feasible alternatives? The Caregiving Journey goes far beyond the basics of wills and logistical funeral plans-basics many people have in place (especially where children are involved). Rather, you'll be guided and supported to create a well-thought-out plan for those three, five or even 10 or more years when your loved one needs your help because they can no longer live on their own. With the inspiration, practical steps, support, and tools provided inside these pages, you'll be well-equipped to guide your family members and loved ones to the end of their lives with love, ease and grace.Bringing together her 30+ years as a professional market analyst and her personal experience as a live-in caregiver for her mom, author Debbie Howard has integrated her experiences-along with the journeys of over 200 other caregivers-into this book to help you choose your best way forward.

Book excerpt: Brief Description Human potential, an unmet need, calls for the very rectification of one's state of mind for a better, well-lived life. Jacob Ryan, an art and philosophy enthusiast, writes looking at the psychology and the potential of human beings to help them find the key fundamentals central for optimal living. Every day, he works on creating ways that can mend the discreet state of humanity and inspire people to expand to greater levels of consciousness and enhance their capacities for critical thinking. The Immense Opportunity, a piece that is written with utmost devotion and passion, invites readers to consider life as an infinitely expanding endeavour, one where limits of potential are unforeseeably boundless.Detailed Description What's required of us in order to live a life as well as we can? This is a question that has troubled the ages for many centuries of past. Yet a question that still appears extremely complex in our existing modern culture. What if the answer to such a question was much simpler than the complexity it first suggests? Many faculties of human knowledge such as religion, spirituality, science and mysticism do their part in responding to this question. Here, The Immense Opportunity seeks to explore this very question through a peculiar lens and suggests its discovery is much closer than we may initially assume. Readers will be taken on a journey to explore the complex dynamics of human experience. How it interfaces with the life surrounding it and what can be done to begin perceiving life in a vastly different light. Human mind, self, culture, perception, growth, and potential are but some of the faculties explored. The book proposes unconventional thought and new ways of operating quite possibly uncommon to some. Inviting readers to consider the possibility that life may be more miraculous then how it is commonly conceived.The sole purpose is to provide a brief exploration of the possibilities that life can offer. An insightful way of interpreting life through a lens that widens the present scope. One that looks at life through a lens of abundant opportunity. One that invites seeing the profound beings that we are and how we can begin operating from such a realisation.This piece acts as a symbolic exemplification of Jacob Ryan's work through his established online platform, Eunimity. An invitation from Eunimity, to you. Here, you will be taken on an exploration into some of the most fundamental aspects of human experience. Allow this to be a powerful exploration that enables the possibility of an Immense Opportunity.Blurb Life itself is a concoction of craze, joy, confusion, challenge, surprise and learning. It is within this conglomeration we at times lose our state of balance and perspective. The Immense Opportunity endeavours to explore the dynamic dimensions of life and the way that we as humans move in motion with them. Providing a brief guide on some of the key fundamentals that are central to a life abundantly lived. Exploring the mechanics of society, unity, perspective, mind and self through an opportunistic lens. Drawing on key insights of deep envisioning and contemplation that can be both practically and conceptually implemented in daily life. The central theme of the book invites the reader to consider that life is not an inherent disparity but rather disparity becomes the making of the perceptions that maintain it to be. This is a deep exploration into opportunity, inviting a new way for life to be experienced.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The principles that guide our behaviors do so as thoughts. They determine the course of our lives, our evolution. Our thinking continues daily while we are not always aware of our choices or their consequences. If principles, values, or morality have been designed by a life of fear, regret, uncertainty, or anger, then the fatality will surely “drag some emotional baggage” with them as they proceed into their future. The process of reacting to life events often occurs without conscious awareness. If someone operates from a posture of survival or suspicion, they will most likely alienate themselves from opposing ideas that may possibly include some accuracy or opportunities. Thus the future will be infected by suspiciousness, and some will lose the ability to think in terms of trustworthiness, justice, integrity, or dependability. Being decisive is a good thing, unless the decision was made from a viewpoint of defensiveness, obsession, anger, or disorder. While some defended thinking is helpful, as in telemarketers, political jargon, scammers, and criminals, an overactive defense system can result in missed opportunities. If we feel contrary to our environment, then we most likely will be regulated by it begrudgingly because we give over personal control by being on guard. It is possible to invest too much energy, elan vital (vital force) in the course of defending or disagreeing. We all know the results of the acceleration of opposition! To the extent, that people hold themselves in reserve as opposed to investing in or exploring new concepts, they can forfeit opportunities. Diminish future prospects by maintaining some form of defense that seems safe but is actually holding them back. Eventually, this process can appear as normal and become its own progression into an overly defensed mind. We must at some point consciously monitor our thoughts, thus our motivations, to deal with or adapt to new information even if that information is contrary to what we already believe. It’s called being objective. And to do so doesn’t mean we have to change our values—it simply means we are being courteous to those who have other views on a subject. To become emotional is an option; however, that sometimes creates even more dissention. Most of the time, we use our observations to lead us toward a solution or answer. But where do our observations come from? Our personal history, which may well have some inaccurate or dated information. If we recognize frustration or misunderstandings, we can govern our thoughts and create better outcomes. We can overcome most of our troubles by doing so, and we can create a better, more prosperous future.
