Whole brain living : the anatomy of choice and the four characters that drive our life / by Taylor, Jill Bolte,1959-author.;
"At age 37, Harvard neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor suffered a massive left-hemisphere stroke that took away her ability to speak, walk, read, write, or remember any of her life-and gave her an unprecedented, profound experience of dwelling in the right hemisphere and the sense of oneness and peace to be found there. Her recovery led to her writing the New York Times bestseller My Stroke of Insight, being named one of Time Magazine's Most Influential People in the world, and delivering one of the top talks of all time at the world renowned TED conference. Dr. Jill closed her famous TED talk by stating that we have the power to choose, moment by moment, who and how we want to be in the world. Since she uttered those words in 2008, she has received hundreds of thousands of emails from people all around the world asking for a specific set of directions on how they too can choose a peaceful mind-set in a world where politics, relationships, and life in general spiral into an uncomfortable state of chaos"--

New power : how power works in our hyperconnected world- and how to make it work for you / by Heimans, Jeremy,author.; Timms, Henry,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."From two influential and visionary thinkers comes a big idea that is changing the way movements catch fire and ideas spread in our highly connected world. For the vast majority of human history, power has been held by the few. "Old power" is closed, inaccessible, and leader-driven. Once gained, it is jealously guarded, and the powerful spend it carefully, like currency. But the technological revolution of the past two decades has made possible a new form of power, one that operates differently, like a current. "New power" is made by many; it is open, participatory, often leaderless, and peer-driven. Like water or electricity, it is most forceful when it surges. The goal with new power is not to hoard it, but to channel it. New power is behind the rise of participatory communities like Facebook and YouTube, sharing services like Uber and Airbnb, and rapid-fire social movements like Brexit and #BlackLivesMatter. It explains the unlikely success of Barack Obama's 2008 campaign and the unlikelier victory of Donald Trump in 2016. And it gives ISIS its power to propagate its brand and distribute its violence. Even old power institutions like the Papacy, NASA, and LEGO have tapped into the strength of the crowd to stage improbable reinventions. In New Power, the business leaders/social visionaries Jeremy Heimans and Henry Timms provide the tools for using new power to successfully spread an idea or lead a movement in the twenty-first century. Drawing on examples from business, politics, and social justice, they explain the new world we live in--a world where connectivity has made change shocking and swift and a world in which everyone expects to participate."--

Rich Family Smart Family : Raise Your Family's Financial IQ and Take Control of Your Future. by Kiyosaki, Robert.;
Financial intelligence begins with financial literacy. And Robert Kiyosaki reminds us that "our minds are our greatest assets." Financial literacy gives you the tools to build your personal financial statement... which tells you the story about how you are managing your cash flow. The language of money can be confusing and intimidating. But, like it or not, "money"--in all of its shapes and forms--is a part of our daily lives. And the more we understand money, and the language of money, the more power we have over our future. Words are the most powerful tools you can possess. Challenge yourself--and your family--to master the language of money. The lessons in this book are simple ones and, like those in Rich Dad Poor Dad, they have guided me over the years. I learned that the path to wealth wasn't about being obsessed with getting the high-paying job or striving for the next promotion and pay raise. I learned that my financial destiny was not dependent upon my boss, a pay raise, the company, the economy, or luck. I learned that I could be in control.Library Bound Incorporated
