Do you ride the escalator or do you take the stairs? No matter how you define success, it always requires one thing: self-discipline. But as popular speaker and strategist Rory Vaden explains, we live in an "escalator world", one that's filled with shortcuts, quick fixes, and distractions that make it all too easy to slide into procrastination, compromise, and mediocrity. What seems like an easier path is really much harder in the end - and, most important, it won't take you where you want to go. How do successful people stay focused and achieve results? This lively and insightful guide presents a simple program for taking the stairs - that is, for overcoming the temptations of quick fixes and procrastination, conquering creative avoidance, and transcending personal setbacks in order to tackle the work that leads to real success. Whatever your goals are, Rory Vaden's proven approach will get you there - one stair at a time.

Based on Stanford University psychologist Kelly McGonigal's wildly popular course "The Science of Willpower," The Willpower Instinct is the first book to explain the new science of self-control and how it can be harnessed to improve our health, happiness, and productivity. Informed by the latest research and combining cutting-edge insights from psychology, economics, neuroscience, and medicine, The Willpower Instinct explains exactly what willpower is, how it works, and why it matters. For example, listeners will learn: � Willpower is a mind-body response, not a virtue. It is a biological function that can be improved through mindfulness, exercise, nutrition, and sleep. � Willpower is not an unlimited resource. Too much self-control can actually be bad for your health. � Temptation and stress hijack the brain's systems of self-control, but the brain can be trained for greater willpower. � Guilt and shame over your setbacks lead to giving in again, but self-forgiveness and self-compassion boost self-control. � Giving up control is sometimes the only way to gain self-control. � Willpower failures are contagious--you can catch the desire to overspend or overeat from your friends��--but you can also catch self-control from the right role models. In the groundbreaking tradition of Getting Things Done, The Willpower Instinct combines life-changing prescriptive advice and complementary exercises to help listeners with goals ranging from losing weight to more patient parenting, less procrastination, better health, and greater productivity at work.

An entertaining illumination of the stupid beliefs that make us feel wise. You believe you are a rational, logical being who sees the world as it really is, but journalist David McRaney is here to tell you that you're as deluded as the rest of us. But that's OK- delusions keep us sane. You Are Not So Smart is a celebration of self-delusion. It's like a psychology class, with all the boring parts taken out, and with no homework. Based on the popular blog of the same name, You Are Not So Smart collects more than 46 of the lies we tell ourselves everyday, including: * Dunbar's Number - Humans evolved to live in bands of roughly 150 individuals, the brain cannot handle more than that number. If you have more than 150 Facebook friends, they are surely not all real friends. * Hindsight bias - When we learn something new, we reassure ourselves that we knew it all along. * Confirmation bias - Our brains resist new ideas, instead paying attention only to findings that reinforce our preconceived notions. * Brand loyalty - We reach for the same brand not because we trust its quality but because we want to reassure ourselves that we made a smart choice the last time we bought it.

The subject of �money� remains one of the most fascinating, thought provoking, emotional, polarizing and well researched subjects in the world. Scores of books, articles, blog posts, and speeches have been written on what money is, how to earn it, how to spend it, who has it and who does not and a myriad of other topics related to the effects that it produces. Yet, despite the constant focus and interest on the topic, there is one word that describes the average person's views around money: confusion. It seems that, there is so much dis-information (what we might call �financial white noise�), that most people either rely on chance for their fortune, or they ignore the subject altogether. This is not only unnecessary, it is a tragedy, because of the untapped human potential that is never uncovered when people leave their lives to chance, or give up on their dreams. It's also totally unnecessary, because the topic of money-how to create it, how to invest it, and how to spend it wisely-is known. Truly, there is a �science� of money, just as there is a science of nutrition, chemistry, and engineering. This �science of money� has been tested and proven again and again. And while new �theories� can arise all the time-just as we have new theories for cures for cancer or baldness, for example-the discipline of science, and it's rules for testing and verifying results-will, in short order, move these ideas from the realm of �theory� to one of two categories: -The Laws of Money that have been proven and can be relied upon-as much as you can rely upon the sun rising in the East and setting in the West-and The Myths of Money-those ideas (some of which may still be around, just as �rumor� or �innuendo� can exist without any basis) which claim to be true, but which have been tested and disproven, or which at best have never been decidedly proven. Ultimately, this program has one central goal: To end all of the confusion once and for all, and to present, in one comprehensive program, the essential truths about money. If you simply study the ideas in this program, and apply them to your life and your business, you will become financially successful-as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow.
