The Change Your Life Book
by Bill O'HanlonMaking dramatic life changes can be difficult. The true secret to life-long transformation, according to certified professional counselor Bill O'Hanlon, is to take baby steps; small, subtle changes will yield profound and lasting results when added together. In this concise book, O'Hanlon shares his simple formula for making the small changes that lead to big shifts: Change the Doing, Change the Viewing, and Change the Setting. Each simple concept is illustrated with examples of everyday challenges with easy-to-implement experiments for affecting transformation, as in this example from "Change the Viewing":Don't expect, be happy: Ken Keyes developed a simple strategy to be happy: Expect everyone and everything to be exactly as it is. When you are upset, he suggests, it is only because your expectations haven't been fulfilled and you are demanding that reality be as you want it to be, rather than how it is. So expect things to be as they are, and you'll be happy.For the next day or so, every time something happens within you or out in the world that could upset you, shift into expecting it to be exactly as it is. Tell yourself it is exactly as it is supposed to be. As a licensed marriage and family therapist and the author of more than thirty books, O'Hanlon understands that it often takes only simple adjustments to create a better life. With a therapist's keen understanding of what works, O'Hanlon offers straightforward advice that is reminiscent of chatting with a dear friend for achieving simple yet significant life changes.

Sandie McHugh and her associates build on the work of social anthropologist Tom Harrison's 'Worktown' Mass Observation study from 1938, repeating the original study today. Together these accounts show how perceptions of happiness have changed over the years for the people of Bolton, UK, and reveal major difference between its definition then and now.

The Character Edge: Leading and Winning with Integrity
by Michael D. Matthews Robert L. Caslen Jr.The former superintendent at West Point and a psychologist explain why all successful leaders rely on a foundation of strong character. Among the most successful leaders throughout history—from Abe Lincoln to Rosa Parks, Mahatma Gandhi to Susan B. Anthony, Martin Luther King, Jr. to Nelson Mandela—some were brilliant mathematicians and economists, others were creative visionaries, still others were masterful at strategic planning. Their mastery of their field wasn’t the secret to their highly effective leadership. All of their skill, grit, resilience, charisma, and courage emanated from one thing: their strength of character.Character—the moral values and habits of an individual—is in the spotlight now more than perhaps at any other point in modern history. Politicians distort facts. Corporations cheat customers and investors. Athletes are caught using illegal supplements. In addition to harming our culture at large, these failures of character have a profound and undermining impact on leadership.The authors of this book are experts on the value of character, its correlation with successful leadership, and how to build it in individuals and prospective leaders. General Robert L. Caslen, Jr. served the US Army for over 43 years and served as Superintendent at the US Military Academy at West Point. Psychologist Dr. Michael D. Matthews is a Professor of Engineering Psychology at West Point who has focused on the psychology of character for years. Together they witnessed firsthand that raw talent is not enough to stand on its own; successful leadership relies on the critical foundation of a strong character.In The Character Edge they leverage their perspectives to offer an empowering, story-driven argument—backed by the latest scientific research—that character is vital to success. They give readers the tools to build and sustain character in themselves and their organizations by testing readers' strengths of the gut, head and heart and teaching how to build trust and nurture the seeds of character.
The Character of a Man
by Bruce MarchianoWhile many books have emphasized Jesus as the Son of God, few have considered his identity as the Son of Man.

As an actor who took on the role of Jesus for the acclaimed film Matthew, he encountered Jesus, the man, in a life-changing way and in this book shares his discoveries.

The Characteristic Differences of the Four Gospels
by Andrew JukesThe Characteristic Differences of the Four Gospels by Andrew Jukes is a thought-provoking exploration of the unique themes, perspectives, and purposes of the four canonical Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Jukes examines how each Gospel presents a distinct portrayal of the life, ministry, and identity of Jesus Christ, offering readers a richer understanding of the multifaceted nature of the Gospel message.Jukes argues that the differences between the Gospels are not contradictions but intentional variations that serve to highlight different aspects of Christ's mission and the nature of God’s work among humanity. He delves into the symbolic meaning behind each Gospel’s structure, tone, and emphasis, showing how they reflect different dimensions of Christ’s character: Matthew’s focus on Jesus as the Messiah and fulfillment of prophecy, Mark’s portrayal of the suffering servant, Luke’s emphasis on compassion and inclusiveness, and John’s theological insights into the divine nature of Christ.Throughout the book, Jukes reflects on how these differences are essential to the full expression of the Christian faith. He offers spiritual insights that encourage readers to see the Gospels not merely as historical accounts but as distinct lenses through which the mystery of Christ is revealed. His analysis invites readers to explore the spiritual depth and harmony within the Gospels, enhancing their appreciation for the diversity and unity found in Scripture.The Characteristic Differences of the Four Gospels is a valuable resource for students of the Bible, theologians, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the New Testament. With clarity and reverence, Jukes provides fresh perspectives on familiar texts, inspiring readers to engage with the Gospels in new and meaningful ways. This book serves as both a study guide and a devotional tool, offering insights that remain relevant for those desiring to deepen their faith and knowledge of the life of Christ.

The Charge: Activating the 10 Human Drives That Make You Feel
by Brendon BurchardSince the fateful night of his car accident, Brendon has lived a fully charged life, and he’s helped millions of people around the globe transform their lives and feel more alive, engaged, and fulfilled.In The Charge, Brendon argues that the only way to measurably improve the quality of your life is to learn how to activate the very ten drives that make you most human. These drives are your desires for more control, competence, congruence, caring, connection, change, challenge, creative expression, contribution, and consciousness. These drives shape everything you think, feel, and do in life, so understanding and mastering them is critical to your success and happiness. Strategically activating these drives on a consistent basis is the fastest path to living a fully charged life. Harnessing our human drives is not easy; if it were, we wouldn’t see so much restlessness in the world. That’s why Brendon has devised what he calls the true “activators” of human experience—a series of powerful yet simple actions you can take to radically increase your levels of energy, engagement, and fulfillment in all areas of your life. What Brendon uncovers in The Charge will surprise and challenge you. It turns out that most of the ways we seek to meet our human drives are actually counterproductive. We all want more control, for example, but seeking to have more certainty in our daily lives or to control other people will actually decrease our levels of control (and happiness). We have a deep desire for change, too, but we often fail to make the right kinds of change that would make us feel more alive and in command of our lives. In The Charge, Brendon helps us overcome these mistakes and illuminates the path for strategically and intelligently activating our 10 human drives so that we can have the one thing we all want: more life in our lives! Brendon Burchard is the founder of High Performance Academy and author of the #1 New York Times and #1 USA TODAY bestselling book The Millionaire Messenger. He is also the author of Life’s Golden Ticket and one of the top motivation and high performance trainers in the world. His famous training events and videos inspire millions of people to find their charge, share their voice, and make a greater difference.
