Mindset - The New Psychology of Success World-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck, in decades of research on achievement and success, has discovered a truly groundbreaking idea–the power of our mindset. Dweck explains why it’s not just our abilities and talent that bring us success – but whether we approach them with a fixed or growth mindset. She makes clear why praising intelligence and ability doesn’t foster self-esteem and lead to accomplishment, but may actually jeopardize success. With the right mindset, we can motivate our kids and help them to raise their grades, as well as reach our own goals–personal and professional. Dweck reveals what all great parents, teachers, CEOs, and athletes already know: how a simple idea about the brain can create a love of learning and a resilience that is the basis of great accomplishment in every area. Start Here: Master the Lifelong Habit of Wellbeing If given the choice, we would all choose to be less stressed, feel happier, and experience a more optimal state of wellbeing. So why are these outcomes so hard to achieve? The answer is quite simple. No one has taught us how. It turns out that just as you train your body for fitness, you can train your mind for wellbeing. We call this Life Cross Training (LIFE XT), and Start Here is the manual for anyone seeking to achieve emotional satisfaction. Combining ancient wisdom with modern neuroscience from the world’s leading experts, LIFE XT is a groundbreaking training program to master the art of wellbeing. The program teaches practices that are proven to rewire the brain for increased focus, engagement, and resilience to stress. Inside-Out: The Practice of Resilience [Kindle Edition] You can quickly download this book (256 pages) from Amazon to read in Kindle for $3. Mitch Lawrie trained as a resilience facilitator with the organisation behind this book in 2010. While Dr Hansen doesn't appear to be aware of the inside-out approach suggested by Syd Banks and Michael Neill (author of the Inside Out Revolution), Dr Hansen's book still offers valuable insights. Inside-Out is written to counter fear. By enquiring deeply into who you are and how you operate, you can discover much better ways to live and be. This is the practice of resilience – learning to be calm, energized, engaged, focused and in flow. We can all learn to be more resilient. Each of the practices described are soundly based on evidence and deliver results. Some steps such as sorting out sleep, nutrition and exercise are easier to understand and harder to perfect. Other steps such as coherence, positivity and meditation will be more complex to understand, yet can be surprisingly rewarding to initiate. Inside-Out shows you: 1. How to bounce in adversity 2. How to stay calm and courageous 3. How to cultivate your body, emotions, mind and spirit 4. How to connect with others, work and play So throw away the pills and creams. Join Sven on this journey of discovery and creative expression. Let your inside-out. Dr Sven Hansen is the founder of The Resilience Institute. The Power of Full Engagement: Managing Energy, Not Time, Is the Key to High Performance and Personal Renewal The number of hours in a day is fixed, but the quantity and quality of energy available to us is not. This fundamental insight has the power to revolutionize the way you live. As Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz demonstrate in their groundbreaking New York Timesbestseller, managing energy, not time, is the key to enduring high performance as well as to health, happiness, and life balance. Their Full Engagement Training System is grounded in twenty-five years of working with great athletes -- tennis champ Monica Seles and speed-skating gold medalist Dan Jansen, to name just two -- to help them perform more effectively under brutal competitive pressures. Now this powerful, step-by-step program will help you to: · Mobilize four key sources of energy · Balance energy expenditure with intermittent energy renewal · Expand capacity in the same systematic way that elite athletes do · Create highly specific, positive energy management rituals The Power of Full Engagement is a highly practical, scientifically based approach to managing your energy more skillfully. It provides a clear road map to becoming more physically energized, emotionally connected, mentally focused, and spiritually aligned -- both on and off the job. Surviving Survival: The Art and Science of Resilience This is an optional read. Good if you want to extend your understanding of how to get over major set backs in your life especially if it involves overcomes the effects of trauma. You have survived the crisis—trauma, divorce, disease, accident, or war—now how do you get your life back? The survival experience changes everything because it invalidates all your previous adaptations, and the old rules don’t apply. In some cases survivors suffer more in the aftermath than they did during the actual crisis. In all cases, they have to work hard to reinvent themselves. Drawing on gripping cases across a wide range of life-threatening experiences, Laurence Gonzales fashions a compelling argument about fear, courage, and the adaptability of the human spirit.
