The Promise That Changes Everything: I Won’t Interrupt You
by Nancy Kline'The lessons and practices here will shift a sense of chaos to one of clarity and a mindset of fear to one of hope' Margaret Heffernan, bestselling author of Wilful Blindness ___________________________________________________________________________________How often do you interrupt? How often do people interrupt you? Can you remember the last time someone listened to you all the way through your thinking?In a time when communication is more challenging than ever and relationships need to be nurtured, listening to one another could not be more important. In her new book, Nancy Kline, bestselling author of Time To Think, suggests that for us to radically improve our communication we should make the propmise 'I won't interrupt you'. This promise matters because when we interrupt each other, we interrupt our thinking, and that interrupts the quality of everything we do. By making this promise to our colleagues and loved ones we can deepen our relationships, increase our productivity, and enjoy deeper, richer conversations. It may, in fact, be the most important promise we ever make. Nancy has spent the last three decades researching independent thought and the barriers that prevent us from thinking for ourselves. In this book she tells us the truth about the damage that interruption can cause, she shares case studies and stories from her work with clients, as well as simple ways we can improve our communication, and change our lives. ___________________________________________________________________________________'This generous, useful and important book is a delight to read and will fundamentally change the way you interact with people' - Mikael Krogerus and Roman Tschäppeler, authors of The Communication Book 'This timely and persuasive book shows us that the foundation for independent thinking is the promise to actually listen, without interruption, to what others have to say' Cal Newport, bestselling author of Digital Minimalism

by Dr. Ted Klontz Rick Kahler Dr. Brad KlontzThe Money Book That's Making a Buzz … The Today Show, Naomi Judd's New Morning, Dr. Laura, NPR, The Wall St. Journal The Money Book That's Making a Buzz … The Today Show, Naomi Judd's New Morning, Dr. Laura, NPR, The Wall St. Journal "The process changed the way I look at everything—my own life, my relationships with others, and my understanding of the world." That is how Wynonna Judd described her work with coauthors Ted and Brad Klontz, using the principles outlined in The Financial Wisdom of Ebenezer Scrooge. As the United States braces for an economic crash, the time-tested Financial Wisdom of Ebenezer Scrooge will help anyone stand on solid financial footing, securing prosperity for themselves and a healthy financial legacy for their family. Almost universally—regardless of income bracket or upbringing—people suffer from the same money affliction, and the real problem isn't money at all. The real problem—and the one that is overlooked in financial planning seminars and glossed over in other wealth-building books—is the relationship people have with their money. For the first time in paperback comes the breakthrough method from noted psychologists Ted and Brad Klontz and financial planner Rick Kahler, which The Wall Street Journal hailed as "innovative," combining "experiential therapy with nuts-and-bolts financial planning." Their proven method, which was publicized in the American Psychological Association magazine, helps people recognize their dysfunctional mind-sets about money. Mind-sets like "It's not nice to talk about money," "I'll never have enough money to be secure," "I deserve to spend money," and "If you are good, the universe will give you what you need." By culling timeless truths from the classic Dickens's tale and combining them with sound financial and psychological principles, the authors give anyone the tools they need to transform their relationship with money and break through their barriers to wealth and financial freedom.
