I’m marrying his best friend.

Book Synopsis The Choices We Make by : Robert "Sinti" Maahs
Download or read book The Choices We Make written by Robert "Sinti" Maahs and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-08-12 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book Prisons in our country are dark places that can either transform a person into a monster or even a healer of the hurt and damaged, who live behind the high walls topped with razor wire and gun towers. It has been many years since I underwent my own personal transformation. It was a time when I often struggled finding workshops, or even materials to help me turn my life around. I made myself a promise to find some way to help others holding on to hope, not to struggle to find what they needed to make change happen in their own lives in the best way I could. Prison life can suck the hope from your soul if you let it. See, a long 38 years ago, I made a choice that was not only wrong, but also cost a person his life unnecessarily, and me the last 38 years of my own life locked away in a California prison. I live with this shame and regret every day, committed to being a better person, worthy of redemption. I was looking at life in prison, and I knew I could not continue to life a life of chaos, even though I lived in an environment full of chaos. Something had to change. It started with me. I watched many in prison struggle with their own process of changing, just as I had. Education gave rise to a field of knowledge that helped me understand how and why we make the choices we make. I wanted to reach out to the many that ask themselves this very question; “why do I make the choices I make?” In prison it is well understood that hurt people hurt others, while healed people heal others. I owe a debt that can never be repaid in full, yet. I know I must try. I owe this to those whose lives I have impacted by my past choices. Everyday, I do what I can to make a positive impact in the lives of others, whether through teach, writing books and designing programs, or simple conversation. It is no longer about me. It is about others who may be struggling in their journey through life. I found that when we have no understanding of our place in the world, or meaning in life, we struggle. We make faulty choices and we can make some mistakes in life’s journey that are very costly. Understanding Choice Theory can help us find some answers we need to turn it all around. I felt it was important to have a body of knowledge available to help all those who struggle in their own search for answers; another tool in your cognitive tool box to help you make your transformational process a reality, so that you can live your best possible life regardless of your situation. Take a moment and learn a little about how we can find that; “meaning in life’s journey,” while putting “Choice Theory” to work in our own life. You do not have to struggle to meet your needs in life. However, you do have to understand that your choices have consequences and affect more than just you. Why Buy? We live in times of great question and unrest. Societies around the world are asking themselves; “what is the meaning of my existence in life?” and “what choices do I have in my current journey through life?” While we struggle to satisfy those questions in a meaningful way, we are pressed with some hardcore challenges filled with chaotic messaging on what the future holds. We can only control how we choose to respond to any given situation by the attitude we take in life. Choice theory gives us a look into how we make the choices we make. If you want better outcomes in your life, understanding the Dynamics of Choice Theory can help you be your best possible self. Pickup the book and put some new tools into your cognitive toolbox. You have more to gain than you have to lose than you will ever know. 60

Book Synopsis The Paradox of Choice by : Barry Schwartz
Download or read book The Paradox of Choice written by Barry Schwartz and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether we're buying a pair of jeans, ordering a cup of coffee, selecting a long-distance carrier, applying to college, choosing a doctor, or setting up a 401(k), everyday decisions—both big and small—have become increasingly complex due to the overwhelming abundance of choice with which we are presented. As Americans, we assume that more choice means better options and greater satisfaction. But beware of excessive choice: choice overload can make you question the decisions you make before you even make them, it can set you up for unrealistically high expectations, and it can make you blame yourself for any and all failures. In the long run, this can lead to decision-making paralysis, anxiety, and perpetual stress. And, in a culture that tells us that there is no excuse for falling short of perfection when your options are limitless, too much choice can lead to clinical depression. In The Paradox of Choice, Barry Schwartz explains at what point choice—the hallmark of individual freedom and self-determination that we so cherish—becomes detrimental to our psychological and emotional well-being. In accessible, engaging, and anecdotal prose, Schwartz shows how the dramatic explosion in choice—from the mundane to the profound challenges of balancing career, family, and individual needs—has paradoxically become a problem instead of a solution. Schwartz also shows how our obsession with choice encourages us to seek that which makes us feel worse. By synthesizing current research in the social sciences, Schwartz makes the counter intuitive case that eliminating choices can greatly reduce the stress, anxiety, and busyness of our lives. He offers eleven practical steps on how to limit choices to a manageable number, have the discipline to focus on those that are important and ignore the rest, and ultimately derive greater satisfaction from the choices you have to make.
Download or read book Decisive written by Chip Heath and published by Random House Canada. This book was released on 2013-03-26 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The four principles that can help us to overcome our brains' natural biases to make better, more informed decisions--in our lives, careers, families and organizations. In Decisive, Chip Heath and Dan Heath, the bestselling authors of Made to Stick and Switch, tackle the thorny problem of how to overcome our natural biases and irrational thinking to make better decisions, about our work, lives, companies and careers. When it comes to decision making, our brains are flawed instruments. But given that we are biologically hard-wired to act foolishly and behave irrationally at times, how can we do better? A number of recent bestsellers have identified how irrational our decision making can be. But being aware of a bias doesn't correct it, just as knowing that you are nearsighted doesn't help you to see better. In Decisive, the Heath brothers, drawing on extensive studies, stories and research, offer specific, practical tools that can help us to think more clearly about our options, and get out of our heads, to improve our decision making, at work and at home.

Book Synopsis Healing Is a Choice by : Stephen Arterburn
Download or read book Healing Is a Choice written by Stephen Arterburn and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2011-11-07 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DO YOU WANT TO GET WELL? The power to heal—physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually—is in God’s hands. But the choice to be healed is yours. Everyone, at some level, needs healing. You may have prayed for healing many times, for many years. Perhaps you have lived with your brokenness so long that you have become accustomed to it. Maybe you wonder just when God is going to take all the hurt away. He can. But you also must choose to let the hurt go and let the healing begin. In this special edition of Healing Is a Choice, author Stephen Arterburn offers a unique combination of book and workbook, outlining ten choices crucial to receiving healing. Embracing these choices means rejecting the lies we often tell ourselves. These are not hoops God requires you to jump through to earn your miracle; they form, instead, the journey He desires for you. He can—and will—walk with you. But you must put one foot in front of the other and choose to let the hurt go and let the healing begin. “His Word affirms that God wants us to experience His healing, but many times we make choices that stand in the way. Healing Is a Choice is a helpful resource that lays out the path of healing God’s way.” — JACK HAYFORD Founding pastor, The Church on the Way, Van Nuys, CA “When we look back at the past turns and twists in the pathways of our lives, we can see significant choices we made, which helped create the lives we have now. Stephen Arterburn has provided us with a guide for making the right decisions today to provide a redemptive path for tomorrow.” —JOHN TOWNSEND Coauthor of the bestseller Boundaries “I am asking you to give up your life as you know it so that you can fi nd the life God has for you. Take hold of your future today and make the choices that will lead to your healing.” —STEPHEN ARTERBURN “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." —Psalm 147:3

Download or read book Sidetracked written by Francesca Gino and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2013-02-12 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You may not realize it but simple, irrelevant factors can have profound consequences on your decisions and behavior, often diverting you from your original plans and desires. Sidetracked will help you identify and avoid these influences so the decisions you make do stick—and you finally reach your intended goals. Psychologist and Harvard Business School professor Francesca Gino has long studied the factors at play when judgment and decision making collide with the results of our choices in real life. In this book she explores inconsistent decisions played out in a wide range of circumstances—from our roles as consumers and employees (what we buy, how we manage others) to the choices that we make more broadly as human beings (who we date, how we deal with friendships). From Gino’s research, we see when a mismatch is most likely to occur between what we want and what we end up doing. What factors are likely to sway our decisions in directions we did not initially consider? And what can we do to correct for the subtle influences that derail our decisions? The answers to these and similar questions will help you negotiate similar factors when faced with them in the real world. For fans of Dan Ariely and Daniel Kahneman, this book will help you better understand the nuances of your decisions and how they get derailed—so you have more control over keeping them on track.
Download or read book Lessons written by Gisele Bündchen and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The instant New York Times bestseller Supermodel and philanthropist Gisele Bündchen shares personal stories, insights, and photos to explore lessons that have helped shape her life. Gisele Bündchen's journey began in southern Brazil, growing up with five sisters, playing volleyball, and rescuing the dogs and cats around her hometown. In fact, she wanted to become either a professional volley player or a veterinarian. But at the age of 14, fate suddenly intervened in in the form of a modeling scout, who spotted her in São Paulo. Four years later, Gisele's appearance in Alexander McQueen's memorably rain-soaked London runway show in the spring 1998 launched her spectacular career as a fashion model, and put an end to the "heroin chic" era of fashion. Since then, Gisele has appeared in almost 400 ad campaigns and on over 1200 magazine covers. She has walked in more than 470 fashion shows for the most influential brands in the world. Gisele has become an icon, leaving a lasting mark on the fashion industry. But until now, few people have gotten to know the real Gisele, a woman whose private life stands in dramatic contrast to her public image. In Lessons, she reveals for the first time who she really is and what she's learned over the past 37 years to help her live a meaningful life--a journey that takes readers from a childhood spent barefoot in small-town Brazil, to an internationally successful career, motherhood and marriage to quarterback Tom Brady. A work of great openness and vulnerability, Lessons reveals the inner life of a very public woman.
Book Synopsis The Watchman's Book by : The Watchman of Day and Night
Download or read book The Watchman's Book written by The Watchman of Day and Night and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2014-02-06 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Watchman's Book by Watchman of Day of Night "When I bring an army against a country, the people of that land choose a watchman. When the watchman sees the enemy coming, he blows the alarm to warn the people." - Ezekiel 33:2-3 (New Living Translation) Many were considering our time as the last days-the period that Christians associate with the signs of the end of the systems of things, where the Devil pulls the last of his strings to create chaos, bewilderment, discouragement, and eventual falling from the faith or being misled from the faith. It is a period prior to Judgment Day where people all over the world, including Christians, are made to stand before God and Jesus Christ, to be declared as either righteous, therefore, getting a reward, or unrighteous and thus getting the retribution. For the last days, like being in battle, God appointed Watchman of Day and of the Nightas one of His watchmen to warn the people of the impending judgment so that they may repent and eventually be saved from the wrath of God and the punishment that comes with it. One of his commission is to write a compilation of 1,240 verses from the different books of the Bible, which God had chosen Himself in a span of thirty-three years. The Watchman's Book, according to the author, is the last warning offered by God before the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. About the Author The author was born in Kansas City, Missouri, and grew up doing farm work. He emancipated himself from home at the age of thirteen and married at the age of seventeen. Right after his marriage, he started to learn welding, which became his job for forty-five years.
