A breakthrough solution from the author of This Naked Mind and the author of Alcohol Explained, to shift your mindset and help you quit smoking and vaping for good.\nTobacco is bad for us; that’s a given. But even though you may know the negative health effects, nicotine’s hold is strong, subconscious, and emotional: It tastes good, it’s a companion when you’re alone, and it can be a shield against stress. What if none of these things were true, though? What if nicotine actually tasted bad and didn’t make you less lonely? What if it didn’t relax you? It may seem hard to believe, and it’s okay to be skeptical, but coming to a new mindset about smoking and vaping is the key to quitting.\nIn This Naked Mind: Nicotine, Annie Grace and William Porter combine their trusted approaches to overcoming problem drinking—science-backed, habit-breaking systems that have worked for thousands—to vanquish tobacco addiction. Grace and Porter uncover the subconscious beliefs about smoking and vaping that keep us addicted to it despite its well-known costs. With thought-provoking questions and exercises that will spark clarity, this essential book will help you jump-start your no-smoking journey easily and heal your brain and body.

Reading the Classics and Paradise Lost

Milton’s early commentators—Henry Todd, Thomas Newton, Joseph Addison, and others—not only knew their classics well, they took them seriously as models of literary excellence and repositories of values. In the twentieth century, however, the classics have become mere “background.” As a consequence, William M. Porter argues, not only is the foundational dimension of Milton’s poetry now hardly visible, even to scholars, but the potential of Milton’s poetry to revitalize the reading of the classics has been diminished. In this insightful study, Porter attempts once again to read both the classics and Milton’s epic poem sensitively and intelligently. He exposes the recklessly speculative and tendentious character of much earlier work on Milton’s allusions, in which allusions were promiscuously posited and in which Paradise Lost was too often regarded naively as triumphing over the classics. Porter demonstrates that Milton’s allusions, in which allusions to the classics, while fewer than has been supposed, are rich with wit, irony, and thought that can be grasped only by a reader with a double perspective.

Industry analysts forecast that worldwide IT spending is approaching two trillion dollars. In market after market, the current tech downturn not withstanding, sales forces are gearing up to attack this global gold mine. The only problem is, the game has changed, and, winning sales in the digital economy will cause you to think differently or suffer the consequences. It used to be that sales managers who could put together the right people with the right products and the right sales methodology could win sales deals most of the time. Unfortunately, that formula, even in the best of circumstances, has never translated into much better than a thirty percent success rate. Drawing on todays business thinking on corporate cultures, technology marketing, core competencies and his own extensive research, Porter takes us in Seller’ s Edge deeply into buyer psychology in today’ s B2B global marketplace. From the twists and turns of the sales decision process to the quirky cultures of corporate buyers , Porter offers us a practical sales tool for the new economy. Seller’ s Edge takes a fresh new look at how global corporations make million dollar sales decisions. In his new Sellers Edge Model, Porter defines and describes the six specific cultures – Need, Price, Future, New, Easy, Brand - founded on price sensitivity and risk where Buyers align today with Sellers when making a final buying decision. Strange as it may seem, there are some buyers who would not accept a product from the wrong seller even if they gave it away – the market is just that polarized! Porter offers today’ s sales organization practical tips and insights into picky Buyers in the new digital economy. From better understanding the four distinct phases of today’ s sales decision process to exploring motives and buying signs of the Brand Buyer, he serves up example after example from real life sales situations that will ring true to sale professionals everywhere. Finally, Porter offers a detailed seven-step approach to using the Seller’ s Edge Model to increase your odds of success in a global marketplace that’ s far different from just a few years ago. Limit your opportunities and sell more. The only way to do this is with an edge – the Seller’ s Edge. The new economy sales tool from William Porter who gave you Quest for Loyalty six years ago, the best selling book about customer loyalty and CRM.
