Book Description
Within the rapidly-growing arena of 'virtual worlds', such as Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOs), individuals behave in particular ways, influence one another, and develop complex relationships. This setting can be a useful tool for modeling complex social systems, cognitive factors, and interactions between groups and within organizations. To study these worlds effectively requires a cross-disciplinary approach that integrates social science theories with big data analytics. This broad-based book offers a comprehensive and holistic perspective on the field. It brings together research findings from an international team of experts in computer science (artificial intelligence, game design, and social computing), psychology, and the social sciences to help researchers and practitioners better understand the fundamental processes underpinning social behavior in virtual worlds such as World of Warcraft, Rift, Eve Online, and Travian.

Book Description
In Awaken Your Potential, leadership coach Chad Reyes becomes a type of virtual mentor to help people fulfill their maximum potential, to become leaders, and then to turn around and help others fulfill their own potential. Today’s institutions are facing a serious, global crisis that threatens to destroy how we work, live, serve, and play. No, it’s not a health or financial crisis; it’s a leadership crisis. Organizations around the world are lacking effective, competent leaders who know how to make a significant personal investment in both their organization and the people within it. More importantly, this generation of leaders isn’t awakening the untapped potential within their teams. That is a problem—perhaps the problem—that leads us into dull, dreary workdays and wholly ineffective, unsatisfying work. It’s time to change that. In Awaken Your Potential: 10 Ways to Unlock Greatness, entrepreneur, speaker, and leadership coach Chad L. Reyes will guide you in how to Make your purpose bigger than your problem. Give more than you take from others. Separate what you do from who you are. Get a valuable return on your failures. Fulfill your maximum potential—and unlock the full potential of others. Genuine, authentic leadership that unlocks others’ potential is desperately needed in every aspect of society—from our governments to our businesses, educational institutions, civic organizations, youth groups, faith communities, and households. The world needs quality leaders. Leaders aren’t born; they’re equipped!

Book Description
Across the dull gray sky of a late October afternoon, two girls, standing on a slight rise near a cornfield, fold their arms across their windbreakers. With cheeks aglow from the frosty air, their eyes dance with excitement. Lila and her best friend, Erin, have just decided that today is the day that they will conquer the cornfield maze on the Dunphy's Family Farm. Lila and Erin gleefully push open the wooden gate and enter the cornfield maze. Erin starts running down the path, laughing and yelling that she will go first. She tells Lila that she must count to twenty before she follows. But when the time comes for them to meet up, Lila can't find Erin-she has disappeared! What could have happened to her? Erin can't find her way out of the cornfield, and the darkening sky looks more and more like rain. She is running now, crashing carelessly through the dead corn stalks, too frantic to recoil from the dry leaves whipping her face as she charges along. Unexpectedly, she sees a shadowy form, just ahead, not moving. It stands motionless, partially obscured by the high stalks. She stops, stunned. Will she ever find her way out of the maze and back to Lila? Inspired by the photo above, featuring the author's granddaughters, this story is part reality and part fantasy, recalling a wonderful afternoon spent romping through a large cornfield maze.

Book Description
A science-backed recipe for creating engagement, fulfillment, and achievement We're stuck. Stuck to the couch. Stuck scrolling. Stuck at work. Stuck in worn-out paths of habitual action. Stuck in patterns and echo chambers of thought. Stuck in carefully curated lives where we've traded our agency for endless comforts that wrap us in existential ennui. As our eyes fixate on a constant parade of images meant to engage us, we notice something in the periphery. We see folks who are just like us, except they are actually, deeply happy and fulfilled. They seem to go through life with ease and grace, overcoming obstacles and making amazing things happen for themselves. Peering closer, we see that these aren't gods or superhumans. They're just people who have chosen to not be stuck and decided to become the main characters in their own lives. Their success (as they define it!) is not a birthright bestowed upon a lucky few, but the result of lives lived with intention. And that's what this book is about — a practical guide on infusing purpose into life in a deliberate and evidence-based way. Through a combination of inspiring stories about unlikely high performers and evidence from the bleeding edge of behavioral science, we present you with a toolkit for learning intention — not as a fluffy concept, but as five very trainable skills. Get your copy of Intention today and live your potential.
