Book SynopsisA provocative and entertaining scientific exploration of the self, and what it actually constitutes our sense of self.Trade Review"[Robert Levine] offers an intriguing set of examples of how frequently we experience multiple identities without recognizing them as such. . . . Out of these varied examples, Levine creates an engaging tapestry that illustrates how, often, what we think of as our fixed identity is an illusion.

Book SynopsisGiven the daunting, dire predicament in which we find ourselves on this planet, what is described by social critic James Howard Kunstler as a "Long Emergency" may in fact become a "Last Emergency" for humanity. Whether we encounter a "long" or a "last" emergency, Carolyn Baker seeks to offer inspiration and guidance for inhabiting our remaining days with passion, vitality, empathy, intimate contact with our emotions, kindness in our relationships with all species, gratitude, open-hearted receptivity, exquisite creations of beauty, and utilizing every occasion, even our demise, as an opportunity to invoke and "inflict" joy in our world. Love in the Age of Ecological Apolcalypse addresses an array of relationships in the Last Emergency and how one''s relationship with oneself may enrich or impede interactions with all other beings.Drawing upon her deep experience as a life coach, Baker writes of the specific need to understand our key relationships in a society in collapse, and how to navigate through differing levels of acceptance of collapse, trauma, and grief. Key relationships include those with our partners, children, friends, neighbors, as well as relationships with our work, our bodies, our natural resources, food and eating, animals, future generations, Eros, and indeed, the powers of the universe. Baker''s writing is engaging, inspiring, and often beautiful in its depth and candor. She introduces a variety of spiritual practices facilitate our developing a relationship with the deeper Self. With these practices and giving and receiving support from others who are walking a similar path, we begin to live more frequently from the deeper Self, or at least are able to access it more quickly when we find ourselves becoming embroiled in the ego.Table Of Contents   • Introduction    • Chapter 1: Living, Loving, and Preparing With A Reluctant Partner    • Chapter 2: Children And Collapse    • Chapter 3: Friends, Neighbors, and The Community    • Chapter 4: Work and The Creative Soul    • Chapter 5: Our Relationship With Resources    • Chapter 6: Loving The Body As The World Falls Apart    • Chapter 7: Our Relationship With Food: Mindful Eating As A Spiritual Practice    • Chapter 8: Loving The Time Of Your Life    • Chapter 9: What An Animal You Are!    • Chapter 10: Darkness Matters    • Chapter 11: Ensconsed In Eros, Bathed In Beauty    • Chapter 12: Our Relationship With The Powers of The Universe    • Chapter 13: Near-Term Extinction And Waking Up To Death    • Chapter 14: Empire, I Wish I Knew How To Quit You    • Chapter 15: Grief And Love In A Culture Of Congestive Heart Failure    • Chapter 16: Our Relationship With Future Generations

Book SynopsisThis is a story of hope. My book about my personal experience with clinical depression reads like a fast-paced novel, with characters that charm and frustrate. The content is tough, but the story difficult to abandon. My book also relates my search for identity. After leaving the business world to care for small children and aging grandparents, as well as adapting to a culture far different from that of my upbringing, I evaporated into my surroundings, no longer sure of who I was. What was my purpose? What did I want? These questions cratered me, setting in motion my genetic tendency for depression. Most people answer these questions without a tour of the psychiatric ward, but my road was bumpy -- the psychiatric ward was only one of many stops. Each time I speak about my experience, I find people are often one step removed from the devastation of mental illness or even suicide. Stories about mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, spouses, and children all make me wonder: Could we have stopped those deaths? If we are more aware, can we see the signs earlier and save a life? I think we can. In that belief, I offer my story. Proceeds from this book will be donated to programs and research to battle mental illness.

Then . . . Tune In. Unlock Your Gifts. Live from the Heart. Transform Your LIFE. In Made for Amazing, Mark Nation tells the story of Joshua Lynk, a troubled young man with an extraordinary musical talent. Josh's father deserts him at an early age, leaving his grandfather to serve as his primary mentor and source of wisdom. Choosing fame and fortune over his grandfather's advice, Josh neglects the deeper, spiritual part of himself. In the excitement of playing to crowds and seeking to imitate others, Josh forgets his true music. A rise to success that ends in sorrow leaves Josh in a crisis of self-doubt and pity. Recalling his grandfather's advice to "Head for Ap Jack," Josh returns to his grandfather's cabin on the mountain and transforms his life, leading him to a deeper sense of purpose, joy, and professional fulfillment. Made for Amazing serves as your guide on the journey to create a legacy of success and a life of significance. Filled with convincing portrayals of a musician's life and relationships, this inspiring self-help parable will empower you to seek your own deeper meaning in life and reach your fullest potential. Josh's story and the thought-provoking Questions for Reflection and Discussion will help you to unlock your giftedness, embrace your passion, and discover your authentic leadership purpose.Trade Review"My grandmother used an antique recipe for making wonderful hasenpfeffer (rabbit stew). Step 1 read, 'First, get a rabbit!' Made for Amazing is like a recipe for personal greatness but with a vital step added. Mark Nation's special recipe for authentic leadership transformation will help you obtain your own version of the first step in my grandmother's recipe. If you only read two books this year, I recommend reading this book twice!" --Chip R. Bell, best-selling author of Kaleidoscope and Sprinkles "I love the title, Made for Amazing, because it accurately states the possibility within each of us to live an amazing life. What holds so many of us back? This is a question of incredible importance. What if we begin a journey to simply trust that God will help us overcome our fear, give up selfish ambition, let go of instant gratification, and do what we know is right? Made for Amazing will encourage you to step out and be, yes be, who you were made to be, rather than defining yourself by what you do." --Frank Brock, former President, Covenant College; former co-owner, Brock Candy "Mark Nation has captured that rarest of all images--a snapshot of our heart's deepest desires. Disappointment happens to all of us . . . and it takes a special guide who can free us to soar on the musical notes of our God-given symphony. Dare to sing your own song. Dare to lead an amazing life. Trust Mark and this book to be your guides." --Paul Louis Cole, President, Christian Men's Network Worldwide; founding pastor, C3 Church "I was initially skeptical of a book that promised so much in its title. Who doesn't want to be amazing? However, most of us are trained to believe 'amazing' is a benefit offered exclusively to a select few. In this inspiring story, Mark Nation opens the possibility of 'amazing' to each of us; most important, he shows us the way to discover an amazing career and fulfilling life. The last thing we want is to wake up one day, saying, 'I wish I had done this differently.' Thanks to Mark for taking the time to write this book, inspiring us all to take positive action before it is too late." --Paula Pontes, Global General Manager, GLAMGLOW' former GM, Estee Lauder Companies (Brazil) "Mark Nation might actually qualify as the most interesting man in the world.

In Made for Amazing, I felt like Mark Nation was sitting between Rick Warren and Bill George, bringing the very best of their concepts all together. An incredibly fresh and compelling read." --Cordell Carter, II, Eisenhower Fellow; White House Champion of Change; Executive Director, The Aspen Institute; former Chief of Staff, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation "Inspirational leadership is within all of us, and in Made for Amazing, Mark Nation urges us to find and sharpen it. By using our unique, God-given talents, and learning from both mentors and past mistakes, we can tame the negative influences that surround us continually--including our own self-doubts. Mark illuminates the path to inspirational leadership, offers the keys to unlock an amazing career, and frees us to impact the lives of others in profound and enduring ways. I loved this book." --Kevin Rabbitt, CEO, NEP, broadcast services producer for the Olympics, NFL, NBA, MLB, and major entertainment and award shows worldwide "If you have any desire to instill values, integrity, and that 'something more' in your career and business, then Made for Amazing should be added to your top shelf. A leadership classic." --Peter Lowe, founder, Get Motivated! seminars "Every once in a while, an author and book come along and shake up the landscape of the human spirit. For me, Mark Nation is that author, and Made for Amazing is that book. " --Jose Antonio La Rosa, CEO, Supera (Peru) "I sincerely believe our greatest challenge in life is to live up to our God-given potential and be our best self, and Mark has created a unique roadmap for each of us to do so. His authenticity, passion, and perspective shine through, acting as a guiding light for all of us to find our signal amidst the noise." --Anoop Prakash, Managing Director, Harley-Davidson Canada and India "As a musician and business leader, I have always described the essence of leadership with the visual of a choral director aligning the voices of a talented choir. And now, in this beautiful story, our souls are once again reminded that each individual is uniquely designed by God, with an amazing song to sing. Imagine the possibilities if everyone simply understood that notion. Read Made for Amazing, refresh your spirit, and let your soul burst forth with a bold, new tune." --Cheryl A. Bachelder, former CEO, Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, Inc.; author of Dare to Serve "If you're ready to bring something amazing to life instead of letting life 'happen' to you, read this book . Made for Amazing contains powerful, inspiring, even eternal, principles that will lift your heart and mind toward God's incredible plans for you. Prepare to be blessed!" --Bonnie Wurzbacher, former Chief Resource Development Officer, World Vision International; former Senior VP, Global Customer & Channel Leadership, The Coca-Cola Company "Made for Amazing is told with grace, compassion, pathos, and heart; the story will move you to tears, then lift you up with the encouragement needed to renew your search for deeper meaning and purpose. It's a joy to read and, most importantly, filled with a message we really need to take seriously--now more than ever." --Jim Kouzes, Dean's Executive Fellow of Leadership, Leavey School of Business, Santa Clara University; coauthor of the best-selling book, The Leadership Challenge "If you're a doer who has forgotten to dream; if you focus on others to the exclusion of living the amazing life you were made for; or if you just want to be more, then read this book now." --Rob Bernshteyn, CEO, Coupa Software; author of Value as a Service "The most important questions are the ones you ask yourself, as they hold the keys to discerning the life you were made for. This book is your invitation to an amazing life." --Bernie Swain, author of What Made Me Who I Am and cofounder of Washington Speakers Bureau "Made for Amazing is a rich mixture of self-leadership, philosophy, and spirituality, all wrapped inside an entertaining business parable.

I am anxious to share Mark's messages with my clients, colleagues, and friends." --Charles Ferguson, President, Asia Pacific, ADP (Singapore) "Finding your authentic purpose is critical to maintaining vibrant careers and healthy lives. Through Josh Lynk's 'musical' journey, Nation offers at least twenty rock-solid building blocks on how to make an authentic life--indeed, an amazing life--truly possible." --Jack Studer, Chairman, Erlanger Health System (rated 9th best US public hospital) "The story of a young man and his grandfather is very powerful, as my grandfather was so 'instrumental' in my own life. Music is a brilliant metaphor for encouraging us to 'find our song' and build a purposeful life. Through Josh's grandpa, Mark Nation suggests that we are the instruments; what a great way to inspire others to identify and develop the music they were meant to play." --Kevin Head, Senior Pastor, First Baptist Roswell; cofounder, New Perspectives for Life "Made for Amazing is a great resource for entrepreneurs, start-ups, and anyone who desires to build a strong and enduring brand. A vital framework for personal and corporate growth." --Charlie Brock, CEO, Launch Tennessee "Mark Nation's extended parable underscores the importance of finding one's authentic self--and the effort that's often required to find it. Unlike many parables that cause the reader to discover key points, Nation offers a gentler form of guidance through the questions he poses outside the narrative. A very helpful addition to the body of self-discovery literature." --Warren Radtke, founding principal, Right Management Consultants; Episcopal minister "Mark Nation is fascinated with the idea that each of us is made for amazing--that is, by being placed in this world, we are obligated to find, develop, and contribute the best we have of ourselves. He has woven this concept into an absorbing tale that will have readers delving into their own possibilities, as they follow the struggles of a gifted musician to discover the music his beloved grampa always knew was in him." --James Ballard, best-selling author of Whale Done! and What's the Rush? "We all desire a journey of self-awareness that reveals a deeper purpose that truly matters. Mark chronicles this journey for us, offering timeless principles that help each of us to lead in very uncertain times." --Nick Craig, President, Authentic Leadership Institute; best-selling author of Finding Your True North and The Discover Your True North Fieldbook "We are made for a purpose, yet too many of us live dull lives, muted by the daily demands of our culture and society. Nation challenges us to find the music within us and to have the courage to give it voice. Imagine a world in harmony, a world where our song uplifts the spirit of those we meet. Nation shows us how in Made for Amazing." --Randy Street, President, ghSMART, New York Times best-selling coauthor of Who: The A Method for Hiring and Power Score: Your Formula for Leadership Success "Music has the power to inspire us all, and in Made for Amazing, Mark Nation will help you find your voice and sing from the rooftops.

The immediate feedback loop of the past has broken down, leaving us with broken communication loops. It’s created the Dyscommunication Crisis. You never know if the message will be misunderstood or returned. The worst is an unreturned message. You’ve been texting your boyfriend for over twenty-four hours, and he hasn't responded. You’ve been texting your child all day and haven’t received a response. The result is identical. We conclude something is wrong and justify it using the worst-case scenario. Unanswered messages have a significant psychological toll. Polls support this: 1. 67% of people suffer from agitation or anxiety. 2. 67% resort to worst-case scenarios to explain. 3. 71% of people fall into negative loops of thinking. 4. 46% admit to making a mistake they regret. Even when messages are returned, the exchange is not always complete. The message might be vague, or you may misinterpret it, resulting in similar issues. It’s a broken communication loop, and, unlike in the past, there's no direct input to clear things up. I’ll Get Back to You ensures that they read your message, not just scan it. There are solutions to ensure your messages are fully understood and promptly returned. There are interesting stories about relationships, dating, family, and work, along with self-improvement worksheets. I’ll Get Back to You offers practical solutions: - Tested tactics so messages are promptly returned. - Procedures in writing messages so they are understood. - Strategies to follow up on unreturned messages. - Proven ways to calm your mind quickly to reduce stress. There will be no more waiting, worrying, and miscommunication. I’ll Get Back to You has the answers and solutions that will improve your relationships and life.Trade Review“The Dyscommunication Syndrome may end up in the American Psychiatry Association DSM. It is a severe problem, especially in this age of increased virtual communication, that effects many people in professional and personal communication.” -- Dr. Karen Canulla, Clinical Psychiatrist“George’s brilliant book takes the most common predicament imaginable in the post-modern world – the infuriating, isolating and even disorienting experience of unreturned messages. With characteristic lucidity and originality, he pencils out a gratifying and surprising, solution” -- Richard D. Mahoney, Author, Colombia (Oxford University Press)“In the years I have worked with Sam, I have come to the conclusion that he is the closest thing to a political genius that I will ever meet.” -- John Sperling, Founder, the University of Phoenix

Do you procrastinate certain tasks because you're afraid you won't carry them out perfectly? If you've answered "yes" to one or both of these questions, chances are you're a perfectionist.

Highly recommended' Anil Seth, author of Being You‘A collection of tales from the far frontiers of psychedelic experience . . . superb . . . brilliant’ Charles Foster, TLSPsychedelics have made a comeback but remain a mystery. They are now a 'breakthrough therapy' for mental illness but in truth we have only a vague idea how they work and there is a limit to what the science can reveal. To have any hope of understanding them, we must broaden our view - dramatically - of what they actually are.In this daring, perception-shifting odyssey, clinical neuropsychologist Andy Mitchell takes ten different drugs in ten different settings, journeying from a London neuroimaging lab to the Colombian Amazon via Silicon Valley and his friend's basement kitchen. His encounters with scientists and gangsters, venture capitalists and con men, psychonauts and shamans, as well as with the drugs themselves, reveal the reality of psychedelics in all their strangeness, hilarity, darkness and wonder.'Original and thrilling ... achieving profound insights' Mike Jay, author of Psychonauts'A hair-raising hurtle of a ride' Henry Shukman, author of One Blade of Grass'Utterly compelling ... like having an out of body experience' Mark Miodownik, author of Stuff Matters'The psychedelic world has been waiting for this book' Professor Erika DyckTrade ReviewAn incisive, deeply personal and beautifully written account of the power, the uses and the modern misuses of psychedelics.

Book SynopsisWhether we are competing for a job, building a business or championing a good cause, some days it can feel as if we are trapped in an endless competition for status, wealth or attention. Maybe if we learn to play the game and follow the rules we'll come out on top. But is life really a finite game - a game of selection and rules, winners and losers, players and spectators? In The Infinite Game, Niki Harre asks us to imagine our world anew. What if we are all part of a different type of game entirely - a game in which playing matters more than winning, a game that anyone can join at any time, a game in which rules evolve as new players turn up - an infinite game? Harre looks at our society (are people pawns or participants?) and ourselves (what kind of player would you like to be?) to offer an inspiring vision of how we might live well together. Deeply informed by psychological research and a life of social activism, Niki Harre's provocative book teaches us all how we might live life as an infinite game.Trade Review`It seems to me that violence happens in this world when we try to achieve objectives on a short wavelength of time. We short-circuit the right process. In contrast, nonviolence works on the long wave. In The Infinite Game, Niki Harre points towards the transformations that can happen if we move from finite towards infinite ways of seeing and being. A timely study for our pressed and pressing times.' - Professor Alastair McIntosh, author of Soil and Soul: People versus Corporate Power and Spiritual Activism: Leadership as Service.
