Category : Assertiveness (Psychology)
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Don't Be Nice, Be Real is a lively, light approach to a deadly serious subject -- our lives. It is a mix of humor, radical wisdom, and new culture spirituality (the author studied under His Humorness the Jolly Llama).The book teaches the mechanics and spirit of Nonviolent Compassionate Communication (NVC) to cure Niceitis, a hereditary disease.Many of us feel powerless and victimized by the people and circumstances of our lives. We are tired of being one of the nice dead people in the world. This book takes us on a journey from being a depressed doormat -- or an agressive bully -- to an evolved, enlightened assertion of ourselves.Because we are so afraid of conflict, we hide behind a wall of culturally conditioned niceness, never living up to our potential for intimate relationships or creative expression in the world. I describe how being Mr(s). Nice Guy/Gal is a form of violence to oneself and others, and often an escape from a fully lived life. This book provides principles and tools for self-responsible, non-judgmental, clear and conscious honesty.The truths in this book have been tested with street gangs in San Diego, combined groups of Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland, Palestinians and Israelis in the Middle East, and among the Croats, Serbs, and Muslims of the Balkans during the Bosnian war. They have worked with groups of hundreds of angry parents and San Diegans after school shootings. They have solved marital custody battles, and cracked even the toughest of nuts: church groups, school boards and PTAs.
So Good They Can't Ignore You
Author: Cal NewportPublisher: Grand Central Publishing
ISBN: 1455509108
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 163
Book Description
In an unorthodox approach, Georgetown University professor Cal Newport debunks the long-held belief that "follow your passion" is good advice, and sets out on a quest to discover the reality of how people end up loving their careers. Not only are pre-existing passions rare and have little to do with how most people end up loving their work, but a focus on passion over skill can be dangerous, leading to anxiety and chronic job hopping. Spending time with organic farmers, venture capitalists, screenwriters, freelance computer programmers, and others who admitted to deriving great satisfaction from their work, Newport uncovers the strategies they used and the pitfalls they avoided in developing their compelling careers. Cal reveals that matching your job to a pre-existing passion does not matter. Passion comes after you put in the hard work to become excellent at something valuable, not before. In other words, what you do for a living is much less important than how you do it. With a title taken from the comedian Steve Martin, who once said his advice for aspiring entertainers was to "be so good they can't ignore you," Cal Newport's clearly written manifesto is mandatory reading for anyone fretting about what to do with their life, or frustrated by their current job situation and eager to find a fresh new way to take control of their livelihood. He provides an evidence-based blueprint for creating work you love, and will change the way you think about careers, happiness, and the crafting of a remarkable life.
