No More Mr. Nice Guy!

This book is for all you nice guys out there who don't think you're getting what you deserve out of love and life! Based on his own experience of recovery from the "Nice Guy Syndrome" and working with countless men and couples for more than 20 years, psychotherapist Dr. Robert Glover presents you with a program of recovery that could be one of the greatest gifts you could give yourself and your loved ones. The "Nice Guy Syndrome" is a belief that if nice guys are good, giving, and caring, they will be loved, their needs will be met, and ultimately they will live a problem-free life. In this book, Dr. Glover teaches nice guys how to stop seeking the approval of others and start living up to their full potential. He explains that by trying too hard to please others and neglecting their own needs, nice guys become frustrated, resentful, and unhappy, and often lash out against their loved ones. Therefore, by trying to please everyone, they often end up pleasing no one. The results begin to show when nice guys begin focusing on themselves and making significant changes in their lives. They actually begin to experience the intimacy and connection with others they have been desperately craving throughout their lives, and they now have the previously unimaginable ability to love and accept love. No More Mr. Nice Guy is not only a guide for men; numerous women will benefit from this book as well. If you have a significant other or close male friend who suffers from the "nice guy syndrome," reading this guide will not only help you better understand them; it could also help you gain new insights about yourself. Once they begin to escape from their "nice guy" habits, your life will be dramatically affected as well, and your relationship is certain to improve. (Alison Cohen)

Last Lecture

"We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.” --Randy Pausch When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University, was asked to give a "last lecture," he didn’t have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer.

It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because “time is all you have... and you may find one day that you have less than you think”). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living.In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humor, inspiration and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come.

Authenticity - Clearing the Junk

Do you find yourself overwhelmed by junk? Is your house full of stuff you don't know what to do with? Do you eat too much unhealthy food? Are you involved in destructive relationships? Do you find yourself surrounded by trivialities or engaged in meaningless conversation? Do you feel there's little of value in your life? If the answer to any of these questions is "yes," then you need to read On Junk. Clearly and compassionately, Ven. Yifa explores junk in all its ramifications: junk food, junk stuff, junk relationships, junk communication, and junk thoughts and feelings. She shows how our obsession with materialism, convenience, and the fast-paced nature of our society is diminishing our ability to connect wholeheartedly with others and making it harder for us to lead authentic lives. Through consciously separating out what is junk from what is genuine, she says, and through practicing right-mindedness, we can gain equanimity, clarity of purpose, true friendship, and the ultimate realization of our Buddha-nature.

The SPEED of Trust

In the readable and riveting style of The Tipping Point, Stephen M. R. Covey uncovers the overlooked and underestimated power of trust in a page-turning look into what he calls "the one thing that changes everything." A groundbreaking and paradigm-shifting book, The Speed of Trust challenges our age-old assumption that trust is merely a soft, social virtue and instead demonstrates that trust is a hard-edged, economic driver -- a learnable and measurable skill that makes organizations more profitable, people more promotable, and relationships more energizing. Written from his informed perspective as the former CEO of a $100 million enterprise, Covey draws on his pragmatic experience growing Covey Leadership Center (founded by his father, Dr. Stephen R. Covey) from a shareholder value of less than $3 million to a value of more than $160 million. In this powerful new book, Stephen M. R. Covey articulates why trust has become the key leadership competency of the new global economy. He eloquently informs readers how to inspire lasting trust in their personal and professional relationships, and in so doing to create unparalleled success and sustainable prosperity in every dimension of life. He shows business, government, and education leaders how to quickly and permanently gain the trust of their clients, coworkers, partners, and constituents. Covey convincingly makes the case that trust is a measurable accelerator to performance and that when trust goes up, speed also goes up while cost comes down, producing what Covey calls a "trust dividend." Covey reveals the 13 Behaviors common to high-trust leaders throughout the world and persuasively demonstrates actionable insights that will enable you to shift your behavior to increase -- and inspire -- trust in the important relationships in your life. Like a ripple in the pond, The Speed of Trust begins within each of us personally, continues into our relationships, expands into our organizations, extends into our marketplace relationships, and ultimately encompasses our global society at large. Covey presents a road map to establish trust on every level, build character and competence, enhance credibility, and create leadership that inspires confidence.
