Book Synopsis Do You Really Need It? by : Pierre-Yves Mcsween
Download or read book Do You Really Need It? written by Pierre-Yves Mcsween and published by Random House Canada. This book was released on 2018-12-25 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decisions, decisions... Whether you're considering the latest tech or a new car, a destination wedding or buying a house, this runaway #1 Quebec bestseller says it all comes down to just one question: do you really need it? This common-sense guide by a CPA and journalist combines a fresh approach with sound advice and a good dose of humour--proving that having the right attitude to money is one of the keys to happiness. Do you need it? Do you really need it? Pierre-Yves McSween applies this simple question to all the decisions that have a direct effect on our bank accounts. Do You Really Need It? holds up a mirror to our life choices and their consequences. McSween questions our spending habits and assumptions, stressing the need for a fresh outlook on building financial flexibility. Mixing sound advice with humour and a touch of philosophy, McSween looks at some forty different topics, questioning what you Really Need: credit cards, brand-name products, a new car (or a used one), marriage, kids, life insurance, RRSPs and TFSAs, vacations, a will. In each chapter McSween makes his case and ends with his summary of whether you do, in fact, REALLY need it. Do You Really Need It? covers money matters with zero BS and no holds barred, offering clever strategies for you to question consumerist impulses and fill in your financial knowledge gaps. McSween seeks first to define the behaviour of a responsible citizen; and then to show readers how to achieve a little more freedom in their lives--something they really, truly need.

Book Synopsis What You Really Need to Lead by : Robert Steven Kaplan
Download or read book What You Really Need to Lead written by Robert Steven Kaplan and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Harvard Business School professor and business executive Robert Steven Kaplan explains in this new book, leadership is accessible to all of us-today-and it starts with an ownership mind-set. You don't need an invitation to lead. Leadership is a dynamic way of thinking and acting that anyone can take on. For Kaplan, acting as a leader is a function of three key questions: 1. Do you work to figure out what you believe as if you were an owner? 2. Do you take action based on those beliefs? 3. Do you focus on adding value to others and take responsibility for the impact of your actions on others-both positive and negative? The book is full of stories taken from the author's own leadership experience as well as from his work helping various types of leaders and organizations. What's revealed is that leadership is not a role reserved for an elite few blessed with the right skills and key positions-it's about a focus on taking ownership and adding value to others. What's more, leadership is a lifelong journey of learning for which you must take responsibility. It's about learning to ask the right questions and learning to understand yourself. As in his earlier books, Kaplan asks probing questions, provides exercises, and suggests follow-up steps that will help you develop your skills, create new habits, and move you toward reaching your unique potential. What You Really Need to Lead is your key to unlocking the power of thinking and acting like an owner"--

Book Synopsis What do you really need in your life? by : Yagnesh Suthar
Download or read book What do you really need in your life? written by Yagnesh Suthar and published by Yagnesh Suthar. This book was released on 2024-04-28 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every single day, everyone on earth wakes up, gets ready, and goes to their jobs or businesses just to "earn money". Because we strongly believe that, "if I want to be happy, I will need to make as much money as I can". With the same thought process, almost "everyone" on earth is living their life. But, I have seen many people dying at the age of 30 or sometimes below 30! The reasons for death could be anything, but the fact is that I have seen many people dying at various ages unexpectedly. This fact proves that there is no certainty of the time of death, but death is certain. Life has no guarantee that when you may die! If there is no certainty of the time of death, don't you think that we must find the purpose of our life? Because even after earning huge amounts of money, I have seen people who are still working to get more money (see the billionaires of today)! And even after having everything, at the time of death, nothing they will take with them. Then, why were they born? Are not they the body we see, feel, and spend time with? If it is not so, who are they? or to be specific personally, "who are we"? I still remember when I was 16, I had a lot of questions about life. For example: "Why are we born?", "Why do we die?", "Where do we go into our deep sleep?", "If we are what we represent to the world, why we do not experience the material world in deep sleep?", That means we are not what we think we are, but in fact, we have not recognized ourselves! You know very well that everything happens for a reason. That is what the universal principle "Cause-Effect" is. If our existence on this earth is for a limited period, there must be a strong purpose to fulfill (which of course we don't know or we don't want to know). If we believe that we are the one who runs the world (for example, you may be thinking that your family is surviving because of you, your business is run because of you, your presence is a must in your groups, etc"), trust me, we are not the controller (even though we strongly and falsely believe it)! We cannot control our own breath for a single hour, how can we control the world surrounding us? We cannot. We are a medium, we are sent on earth for a "specific" purpose. We have to fulfill our duties to get rid of this "birth-death game" that we have been a part of since infinite times. But why? Because, even if you think that, "I am going to have everything in my life one day", you will not have. Because your life is totally based on your karma. And you definitely don't know your karma of previous lives. And if you want to know them, you will need to adopt certain lifestyles - which also you don't want to adopt. So, how can you know your mistakes? Hence, instead of objecting to the universal laws, we should accept whatever nature has to give us, we just need to change our perception of the experience and we will have different abilities. But how will you change the thought process? How will you change the perceptions? What would be your answer if someone asked you, "What do you really need in your life?" The majority of people would reply "wealth, health, happiness, peace, fame, and, love". But almost all of them do not even know the "right way" and "right source" of all these goals. "Have you ever observed your life, why do you have problems?" "Even after taking good actions, why do you have to suffer from pain?" "Even though you act according to righteousness, however, you face struggles in life, why?" "Were you born to work your entire life?" "If you are going to die one day leaving everything behind, why are you running behind accumulating so much wealth?" "If you were born in this world, was that because of your wish?" If you are not able to control your breath for a single hour, if you are not getting things as per your expectations or planning, that simply means you are not the controller of your life. Then why do you believe that you are the “doer”? Why do you have Ego? Why do you expect anything from anyone? If you delve deeper into the questioning, you will have only three questions: Who am I? (who is the source of existence?) Why am I here (purpose of life)? How to fulfill that purpose? (To get liberation) But, apart from these all, every one of us is trapped in the material world in the materialistic achievements (which are going to vanish along with our death). Only we take with us is "our karma, our knowledge, our abilities, etc." However, when we are born into a particular family, we also get some qualities based on our parents because we have an opportunity to be born by their union. Hence, we get some of the qualities from them too. And, as we grow, we adapt to various conduct of life, various types of foods, and so on. Everything affects us in so many more ways. Just like eating an onion provides you with anger, likewise, different kinds of food affect our existence differently. But because we have never been told about the "reality", we are getting trapped day by day in materialistic achievements. Even without our notice, we commit many crimes (sins) and become eligible to pay them anyhow. Have you ever thought about why only humans can think and change their lives? why other animals cannot do as we can? Because their birth is meant for "indulgence", "surviving (due to past karma)", "and service". Their consciousness is limited to those aspects only. But our consciousness is limited to many more aspects. We (human lives) are the bridge through which consciousness can reach other dimensions of existence. Human life is so precious that even celestial beings also looking to take birth in human lives. To be born as a human is very much fortunate because from the human form alone one can become free — free from all misery and sufferings of life, free from all the bondage of life after life! Hence, the most important purpose one can ever live for is only one — liberation (liberation from this game called "life")! S.B. 11.9.29: लब्ध्वा सुदुर्लभमिदं बहुसम्भवान्ते मानुष्यमर्थदमनित्यमपीह धीर: । तूर्णं यतेत न पतेदनुमृत्यु याव- न्नि:श्रेयसाय विषय: खलु सर्वत: स्यात् ॥ Meaning: "After many births and deaths, one achieves the rare human form of life, which, although temporary, allows one to attain the highest perfection. Thus, a wise person should quickly endeavor for the ultimate goal before another death occurs. After all, sense gratification is available even in the most abominable species of life, whereas Krsna consciousness (realization of supreme consciousness) is possible only for a human being." However, you will not understand or show interest in learning those aspects because of your lifestyle and karma. But, if you are reading these words, trust me, your own "eagerness", "intuition", and "the spiritual aspect of yourself" have directed you to select this book for reading it. Because this book is the bridge or door to get the knowledge that has been evaluated many times. Many kings renounced their kingdoms and all their wealth or prosperity just to find the answers to those three questions. Many outsiders attacked India a few centuries ago just to get this knowledge (because of that knowledge, India was considered a "Golden bird"). So, just imagine how precious this knowledge would be. Even after stealing many things from India, they did not implement that knowledge into practical life. If they could have implemented it, the entire earth would be like a family. But, humans are humans. Even after getting human life (after 84 lakh yonis), they still want to get trapped in indulgence. If you can get permanent satisfaction and happiness by having sex, by getting trapped in indulgence, and by fulfilling your desires, then how do you need to do them again and again? And if there is a need to do it again and again, trust me, it is nothing but a mirage. Also, this mirage snatches the living force from you and gives you death as a gift. Hence, there is no permanent happiness or satisfaction in materialistic achievements, it only comes after realizing the self. All the questions of your life will vanish after realizing the self. You will get to know everything you will ever wish for. The entire world runs based on hope, and faith! If you are doing a job or business, you have some expectations that “I will get something after finishing this work (it could be money, promotion, appreciation, or anything)”. And if I finish this work, I will be happy or satisfied. But as you finish one of your tasks, a few more are raised just after that! This task-fulfilling cycle repeats endlessly unless you realize that this all exists temporarily. The day when you will realize the fact that with each of your breaths, you live with death as well, will be the time when you will have a complete understanding of life and you will look for the answers to those three questions. Because that is what the goal is. From birth, I have been an “experiencer” of my life (thinking of myself as a “doer”) but one day I realized the fact that we are not “doers”, we are “mediums” and that day after, I have been an “observer” of my life. In this way, I have got so many answers to my questions which the majority of people do not know. And if some people know them, they don't want to implement the knowledge in their life at this very moment because they are looking for a specific time to implement such knowledge! Hence even though they have known it, they are suffering in life. And those who have completely understood this knowledge, are already immersed (or engrossed) in attaining the truth. That is the reason why people like me and you are not getting the right source or guidance of such knowledge. While I am also journeying to attain this truth, I have compiled it in this book. And, I want to share it with you so that you can also adopt it and attain the truth. In this book, I have answered many questions as simply as I can so that even a 15-year-old teenager can understand these aspects of life. If any of the government wants to make their country the most powerful in all aspects of existence, this knowledge must be taught from school time. This knowledge changes the perception of humans in a way that will only bring permanent happiness, satisfaction, prosperity, unconditional love, and whatnot. The person who understands all the intentions of this book and implements it in his life will definitely become the most knowledgeable and powerful person on earth. (Your definition of "most knowledgeable" and "most powerful" will be different from mine because, for now, you have not known the intentions of this book.) You spend nearly (GBP) £10,000 a year to get a degree that can give you a job, some money to survive, and happiness. Now question yourself: before a few centuries ago, when there were no universities, were people not surviving? Of course, they were surviving. But our minds have been manipulated so that we are already affected by millions of desires. For example, you might want to get the costliest smartphone, a great-looking car, the most comfortable lifestyle, and whatnot. Also, they (those who are affected by seven enemies) have been using many dark secret psychological tricks, manipulation techniques, and marketing secrets to manipulate your mind and beliefs in any way possible. And you (the victim of such manipulations) are so strongly affected by this that you do not even realize what is your identity, what is your goal in life, what you have to do here on this earth, and why are you living in miseries. To be honest, not for me, but for yourself, just for one day, try to observe your daily routine as a third-person observation. You will realize that all your actions are just for earning money, fulfilling your desires, taking revenge, making your (so-called) "loved ones" happy, and whatnot! All your mental and physical energy is so much involved and engrossed in thinking about fulfilling these many tasks. That is the reason why you get tired at the end of the day. But when you return to sleep, you get refreshed! Why? What is there in the sleep that makes you fresh? There must be something in the sleep that always makes you feel fresh, don't you think so? But science has no (satisfactory) answers to such questions. Though I am a student of science, and I am a pharmacist myself, how and for what reason I might believe in such things? The reason is, "I strongly believe in self-experience and observation through intellect". I believe in "documented evidence" to a certain limit. Otherwise, I only believe in something if, from all the aspects of intellectual reasoning, I find any satisfactory answer. Beyond "intellectual reasoning", there is a great parameter that has been only understood by sages, that is, Faith. Who has understood "love", has understood everything. You go to university and spend almost £10,000 on your course, however you are not happy and satisfied. Even after marrying your loved one, you are getting frustrated at some moments in life. Even after eating your favorite dishes, you become ill. Even after indulging in something, you again get the desire for indulgence and your thirst becomes stronger! So, all your expenditure of time and money is not worth enough to give you all that you really need. But, the fact is that you do not even know: "What do you really need?" That is why I have written this book for you to exactly let you know what you really need in your life. Also, this book explores many of the concepts that should have been taught in schools but have never been taught. If you understand the intentions of my words, and if you follow what is said in the book, then all the money you have invested till today to get everything you wanted in your life will be of no worth than the price of this book: "What do you really need in your life?" The words of this book are "Nectar Words", and you will realize this after reading, understanding, and implementing the advice in life from this book.

In The Ideal Team Player, Lencioni tells the story of Jeff Shanley, a leader desperate to save his uncle’s company by restoring its cultural commitment to teamwork.

Beyond the fable, Lencioni presents a practical framework and actionable tools for identifying, hiring, and developing ideal team players. Whether you’re a leader trying to create a culture around teamwork, a staffing professional looking to hire real team players, or a team player wanting to improve yourself, this book will prove to be as useful as it is compelling.
Book Synopsis The First 20 Hours by : Josh Kaufman
Download or read book The First 20 Hours written by Josh Kaufman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-06-13 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forget the 10,000 hour rule— what if it’s possible to learn the basics of any new skill in 20 hours or less? Take a moment to consider how many things you want to learn to do. What’s on your list? What’s holding you back from getting started? Are you worried about the time and effort it takes to acquire new skills—time you don’t have and effort you can’t spare? Research suggests it takes 10,000 hours to develop a new skill. In this nonstop world when will you ever find that much time and energy? To make matters worse, the early hours of practicing something new are always the most frustrating. That’s why it’s difficult to learn how to speak a new language, play an instrument, hit a golf ball, or shoot great photos. It’s so much easier to watch TV or surf the web . . . In The First 20 Hours, Josh Kaufman offers a systematic approach to rapid skill acquisition— how to learn any new skill as quickly as possible. His method shows you how to deconstruct complex skills, maximize productive practice, and remove common learning barriers. By completing just 20 hours of focused, deliberate practice you’ll go from knowing absolutely nothing to performing noticeably well. Kaufman personally field-tested the methods in this book. You’ll have a front row seat as he develops a personal yoga practice, writes his own web-based computer programs, teaches himself to touch type on a nonstandard keyboard, explores the oldest and most complex board game in history, picks up the ukulele, and learns how to windsurf. Here are a few of the simple techniques he teaches: Define your target performance level: Figure out what your desired level of skill looks like, what you’re trying to achieve, and what you’ll be able to do when you’re done. The more specific, the better. Deconstruct the skill: Most of the things we think of as skills are actually bundles of smaller subskills. If you break down the subcomponents, it’s easier to figure out which ones are most important and practice those first. Eliminate barriers to practice: Removing common distractions and unnecessary effort makes it much easier to sit down and focus on deliberate practice. Create fast feedback loops: Getting accurate, real-time information about how well you’re performing during practice makes it much easier to improve. Whether you want to paint a portrait, launch a start-up, fly an airplane, or juggle flaming chainsaws, The First 20 Hours will help you pick up the basics of any skill in record time . . . and have more fun along the way.

Book Synopsis What You Really Need to Lead by : Robert Steven Kaplan
Download or read book What You Really Need to Lead written by Robert Steven Kaplan and published by Harvard Business Review Press. This book was released on 2015-08-11 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHAT MAKES A LEADER? CAN YOU REALLY LEARN TO LEAD? You might believe that leaders are born, not made. Perhaps you think that you need to hold an important job to be a leader—that you need permission to lead. Leadership is one of the most important aspects of our society. Yet there is enormous disagreement and confusion about what leadership means and whether it can really be learned. As Harvard Business School professor Robert Steven Kaplan explains in this powerful new book, leadership qualities are not something you either have or you don’t. Leadership is not a destination or a state of being. Leadership is about what you do, rather than who you are, and it starts with an ownership mind-set. For Kaplan, learning to lead involves three key elements: • Thinking like an owner • A willingness to act on your beliefs • A relentless focus on adding value to others Kaplan compellingly argues that great organizations are built around a nucleus of people who think and act with an ownership mind-set. He believes that leadership is not a role reserved only for those blessed with the right attributes or situated in the right positions of power. Leadership is accessible to each of us—today. It requires a process of hard work, willingness to ask questions, and openness to learning. This book aims to demystify leadership and outlines a specific regimen that will empower you to build your leadership skills. Kaplan tells real-life stories from his own experience of working with various types of leaders seeking to improve their effectiveness and make their organizations more successful. He asks probing questions, provides exercises, and suggests concrete follow-up steps that will help you develop your skills, create new habits, and move you toward reaching your unique leadership potential. What You Really Need to Lead will help you develop your capacity to lead by unlocking your power to think and act like an owner.
