Living With Purpose and Power: Create Your Guiding Stars and Live Your Ultimate lifePeople talk all the time about finding a life purpose. Most never really feel they have a handle on what that is. It seems to be an imaginary state where, every day, you know who you are, what you are about, what to do, and feel excitedly engaged in your purpose.Perhaps, like you, I never knew what my purpose was. I had some vague ideas about what I was “supposed to do,” but no big purpose that created any fire in the belly.We all want to matter and have a big impact. We all want to have abundance. We deeply desire to love and be loved. We seek experiences we remember and treasure. We want deep and meaningful relationships. With all this wanting, most don’t really take the yearning to ground and create the life they desire.Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?

Open-ear bone conduction technology functions by bypassing the traditional route of sound transmission through the outer and middle ear and instead delivers sound vibrations directly to the inner ear through the cheekbones. Transducers placed near the temples or cheekbones convert audio signals into subtle vibrations, which are then transmitted through the bones of the skull to the cochlea, the organ responsible for hearing. This innovative method allows users to perceive sound without obstructing the ear canal, leaving their ears open to their surrounding environment and can be beneficial and effective on those with hearing loss. Whether used for music, calls, or other audio content, open-ear bone conduction technology offers a comfortable and safe listening experience. Hosted on Acast.

Quantum Love: Use Your Body's Atomic Energy to Create the Relationship You Desireby  Laura Berman Ph.D. Falling in love is a thrilling, transcendent experience . . . but what about staying in love? Once the intense excitement of a new relationship starts to fade, you may think your only options are to somehow recapture that early magic or settle for a less than fulfilling love life. Now love, sex, and relationship expert Laura Berman, Ph.D., taps the latest scientific and metaphysical research to offer an inspiring alternative: a higher level of love beckoning you to move forward, not backward. Using the essential truth we’ve learned from the study of quantum physics—the fact that at our molecular core, each of us is simply a vessel of energy—Dr. Berman explains how you can use what’s happening in your inner world to create a level of passion, connection, and bliss in your relationship that you’ve never imagined possible. Drawing on her clinical practice and case studies as well as her personal journey, she guides you to: •Plot your unique energetic frequency of love with her Quantum Lovemap •Work consciously with the energy of your body, heart, and mind •Make four key commitments designed to raise your energetic profile •Bring your frequency into harmony with your partner’s so that you can grow together •Learn how to have Quantum Sex (which is every bit as good as it sounds)Quantum Love is the best possible experience of love, and it’s available to absolutely everyone, whether you’re seeking a mate, in a relationship that’s struggling, or just finding that love has turned lackluster through the stresses of life. You can’t go back to the honeymoon phase, but there is something so much better within your reach. Quantum Love lets you reach new heights of intimacy as you gain a fuller sense of purpose in life and love.Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?

Thinking, Fast and Slow Two systems drive the way we think and make choices, Daniel Kahneman explains: System One is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System Two is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. Examining how both systems function within the mind, Kahneman exposes the extraordinary capabilities as well as the biases of fast thinking and the pervasive influence of intuitive impressions on our thoughts and our choices. Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think, he shows where we can trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking, contrasting the two-system view of the mind with the standard model of the rational economic agent.Kahneman's singularly influential work has transformed cognitive psychology and launched the new fields of behavioral economics and happiness studies. In this path-breaking book, Kahneman shows how the mind works, and offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our business and personal lives--and how we can guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble.Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?

Ultimate Profit Management: Maximizing Profitability as You Grow Your BusinessThroughout the author’s career as a banker and business consultant, he has seen many examples of businesses that were doing just “fine.” They were profitable and growing slowly but surely, but then, the business owner decided that it wasn’t enough anymore to simply grow slowly. What was suddenly needed was growth of 20%, 50%, or even 100% per year, just like the notable companies they see and hear about every day in the media. They began to try to grow the business and in a short period, a profitable and thriving business became unprofitable. Since the business was no longer profitable, it needed to take on debt to pay its expenses. After taking on more and more debt, the business reached a point where it could not find any more debt to take on. This circumstance caused the business to fail to pay its bills anymore which led to a financial day of reckoning. Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?

Jake DoberenzSmashing Modern Idols. Pointing People Back to Jesus.As a child, I was pretty convinced I had the Bible and Christianity all figured out. I knew all the answers, was obsessed with apologetics and creationism—so much so that I even started my own nonprofit—and I loved telling people they were wrong. My faith was mostly in my head, where a sense of certainty tied me to Jesus more than love.I wanted to be the Christian version of everything (Christian lawyer, Christian politician, etc.). But eventually, I settled on becoming a Bible major so I could teach the correct view of Scripture to other Christians who would go out and inhabit the other fields. But as I pursued a Bachelor's in Biblical Studies and later a Master of Theological Studies (at a conservative Christian school, mind you), I quickly realized how little I actually knew.I started encountering the Bible in a whole new way—learning to ask it questions on its own terms, rather than trying to force it to answer the modern issues I wished it would. That shift opened my eyes to a new vision of faith: one centered on Jesus, not on bashing people over the head with a Bible.Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?

Along the way, you’ll also learn to dismiss popular myths such as the idea of a “lizard brain” and the alleged battle between thoughts and emotions—or between nature and nurture—to determine your behavior. Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?

An entertaining tale of how a poor kid from divorced parents dreamt, started, operated, retired from, and went into true entrepreneurship freedom. This book is to encourage anyone wanting to build a business from scratch or an existing one to heights they have never imagined.The foundation of any small business is systems, culture, mindset, and financial education.

The take away from this book is "You don't know what you don't know".

Cycle of Lives: 15 People's Stories, 5,000 Miles, and a Journey Through the Emotional Chaos of CancerAmazon Bestseller in "Brain Cancer"Have you ever been forced to consider the fact of your mortality? If confronted with cancer, how would you feel? What would you say to the people you love? What would they say to you?No two people have the same answers to these questions, a lesson I learned well during a solo six-week, 5,000-mile cross-country bike ride I called Cycle of Lives. The trip started as a fundraiser in honor of my sister, June, who died of brain cancer. But long before I even set out on my endurance ride from L.A. to Florida to N.Y., I exhaustively interviewed fifteen people across the country whose lives had also been irrevocably changed by cancer—either as patients, survivors, loved ones, or caregivers.Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?

Becoming Better: The Groundbreaking Science of Personal Transformation What if you could unlock a path to realizing true personal transformation—not just doing better, but becoming better? Many people chase improvement but remain stuck, frustrated by progress that feels incremental at best. That’s because most self-improvement strategies focus on one’s Doing Side—their level of knowledge, skills, and abilities. While valuable, this approach only scratches the surface of what’s possible.In Becoming Better, Wall Street Journal and USA Today best-selling author Ryan Gottfredson, PhD, teaches you that transformational growth requires a shift to a deeper dimension known as your Being Side—the quality of your mindsets, emotional depth, and regulatory abilities. It is this unseen foundation that shapes how you experience the world and how the world experiences you. But few understand their Being Side, let alone how to elevate it.Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?
