The Life-Changing International Bestseller
Mindfulness reveals a set of simple yet powerful practices that you can incorporate into daily life to help break the cycle of anxiety, stress, unhappiness, and exhaustion. It promotes the kind of happiness and peace that gets into your bones. It seeps into everything you do and helps you meet the worst that life throws at you with new courage.
The book is based on Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). MBCT revolves around a straightforward form of mindfulness meditation which takes just a few minutes a day for the full benefits to be revealed. MBCT has been clinically proven to be at least as effective as drugs for depression and is widely recommended by US physicians and the UK's National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence—in other words, it works. More importantly it also works for people who are not depressed but who are struggling to keep up with the constant demands of the modern world.
MBCT was developed by the book's author, Oxford professor Mark Williams, and his colleagues at the Universities of Cambridge and Toronto. By investing just 10 to 20 minutes each day, you can learn the simple mindfulness meditations at the heart of MBCT and fully reap their benefits. The book includes links to audio meditations to help guide you through the process. You'll be surprised by how quickly these techniques will have you enjoying life again.
For years I struggled with my weight. Jumping from one fad diet to another. I started to believe it was impossible to get lean and muscular without good genetics or steroids. Then I realized the problem.
Temporary diets lead to temporary results. But let’s be honest, no one wants to eat chicken and broccoli every day. There must be a better way…
What if I told you I lost 30 pounds without eliminating foods like pizza and ice cream? Sound like a dream? Absolutely not.
The truth is, you can’t deprive yourself of foods that you enjoy forever. In this book, you’ll discover the “secrets” to flexible dieting—how to balance eating for health and eating for enjoyment. But it doesn’t stop there.
To create lasting weight loss, you can’t just follow a diet. You need to follow a lifestyle. This revolutionary guide reveals everything you need to know to transform your body forever, including:
Best of all, this is a book you can trust because it’s backed by over 1,000 scientific studies. There are no gimmicks or tricks. You’ll strictly get what works and nothing that doesn’t.
Purchase this book, and you’ll get access to my personal email address. You read that right. Have a question or need some advice? Just shoot me an email, and I’d be happy to help.
Purchase this book, and you’ll get a free 25-page workbook (download). The workbook will not only help you develop better mindsets, habits, and routines, it will also help you build a custom action plan to transform your body forever.
Do you always wonder - why only a handful people beam with self-confidence & perform at their best, while other struggle to finish their tiny 5-pointer to-do-list? Why some people always move at fast pace despite facing obstacles, and others drag their feet back merely on fearful thought?
What if you were told that everyone can perform at highest levels? What if you can learn the strategies all performers adopt to master their mind?
The Science of High Performance is written to show you that each of us is gifted and capable of high performance. The book will show you scientifically backed principles to help you understand the power of your body and mind- and how you can stretch yourselves beyond ‘self created’ false limits. You will understand the principle behind why high performers do perform that way and how that approach is accessible to each of us.
Som Bathla is an avid reader, researcher and author of multiple bestseller books. In this book, he will hold your hand on a journey to the world of high-performers and hand you over the new set of lenses to help you look at the world differently, thoroughly backed up with scientific principles and psychological studies.
The Science of High Performance- will show you how to:
Learn how to change your self-image, develop self-confidence and perform at your best.
Learn to take stress as a challenge, not as a threat – don’t run away from stress, rather learn to work with stress.
Brian Tracy once rightly said:
You believe in high standards and sincere about upgrading your performance. Because you know that high performance opens the doors for huge opportunities, builds your self-confidence and ensures you achieve your goals faster.

BASED ON THE INCREDIBLE GRADUATION SPEECH WITH OVER 10 MILLION VIEWS ON YOUTUBE
If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.
On May 17, 2014, Admiral William H. McRaven addressed the graduating class of the University of Texas at Austin on their Commencement day. Taking inspiration from the university's slogan, "What starts here changes the world," he shared the ten principles he learned during Navy Seal training that helped him overcome challenges not only in his training and long Naval career, but also throughout his life; and he explained how anyone can use these basic lessons to change themselves-and the world-for the better.
Admiral McRaven's original speech went viral with over 10 million views. Building on the core tenets laid out in his speech, McRaven now recounts tales from his own life and from those of people he encountered during his military service who dealt with hardship and made tough decisions with determination, compassion, honor, and courage. Told with great humility and optimism, this timeless book provides simple wisdom, practical advice, and words of encouragement that will inspire readers to achieve more, even in life's darkest moments.

“Significant...The book is both instructive and surprisingly moving.” —The New York Times
Ray Dalio, one of the world’s most successful investors and entrepreneurs, shares the unconventional principles that he’s developed, refined, and used over the past forty years to create unique results in both life and business—and which any person or organization can adopt to help achieve their goals.
In 1975, Ray Dalio founded an investment firm, Bridgewater Associates, out of his two-bedroom apartment in New York City. Forty years later, Bridgewater has made more money for its clients than any other hedge fund in history and grown into the fifth most important private company in the United States, according to Fortune magazine. Dalio himself has been named to Time magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Along the way, Dalio discovered a set of unique principles that have led to Bridgewater’s exceptionally effective culture, which he describes as “an idea meritocracy that strives to achieve meaningful work and meaningful relationships through radical transparency.” It is these principles, and not anything special about Dalio—who grew up an ordinary kid in a middle-class Long Island neighborhood—that he believes are the reason behind his success.
In Principles, Dalio shares what he’s learned over the course of his remarkable career. He argues that life, management, economics, and investing can all be systemized into rules and understood like machines. The book’s hundreds of practical lessons, which are built around his cornerstones of “radical truth” and “radical transparency,” include Dalio laying out the most effective ways for individuals and organizations to make decisions, approach challenges, and build strong teams. He also describes the innovative tools the firm uses to bring an idea meritocracy to life, such as creating “baseball cards” for all employees that distill their strengths and weaknesses, and employing computerized decision-making systems to make believability-weighted decisions. While the book brims with novel ideas for organizations and institutions, Principles also offers a clear, straightforward approach to decision-making that Dalio believes anyone can apply, no matter what they’re seeking to achieve.
Here, from a man who has been called both “the Steve Jobs of investing” and “the philosopher king of the financial universe” (CIO magazine), is a rare opportunity to gain proven advice unlike anything you’ll find in the conventional business press.
(Entrepreneurship, business) “Masterful … An immensely appealing book because of its readable style … and its realistic but soft Asian-style illustrations.” – Crystie Cook, poet. A child with a knack for solving problems helps some hungry fish and finds a treasure. Illustrated folk tale teaches how to spot opportunities to help others and make money; comes with ideas for businesses; money-making activities; and online resources on finding customers, managing money, job ideas and moving up in an organization (for ages 5 and up). Young children will be captivated by the story; older ones will want to apply the things they learn.

Every decision you make today will have an impact on the decisions you make tomorrow, regardless of where you fit in this game of life.
Note: This is not your typical get up, be positive and do it self-help book.
It’s a book written, in depth, for us to gain a better understanding of why we do things the way we do, the driving factors behind our fears and how to best deal with all of these problematic areas.
Bold, Informative and storytelling. This book will help you start writing a new, happier life.
In this book, you’ll learn:
For some time now, identity theft has been almost universally acknowledged as the fastest-growing crime in the nation, if not the world. So much personal information is now available about the Average Joe that criminals have turned identity theft into an all-you-eat buffet. They drape themselves in your good name and reputation, and - like some evil twin - create havoc in the guise of your person, for which you are wrongfully blamed. However, there are still things you can do to avoid being a victim, as well as regain control after being victimized. This book, in a quick and easy fashion, will show you the steps to take in order to best your evil twin.
Other energy healing books will claim that energy healing can 'magically' and instantaneously heal serious diseases such as cancer or heart disease. These claims however have not been scientifically proven. On the other hand it has been proven that energy healing can improve cardiovascular health by promoting relaxation and alleviate fatigue and pain in cancer patients.
Unlike most energy healing courses, this one is based on the findings of over 200 studies published in peer-reviewed journals done on energy medicine, reiki, therapeutic touch and all other forms of energy healing.
I developed this easy-to-use energy healing technique based on my years of research. It's a lot like Reiki but simpler and more intuitive to use.
In this course you'll learn:
And most importantly, what energy healing can do and can't do.
Energy healing is a skill that requires you to master compassion, focus and intention. A lot of other courses gloss over these important foundations and just teach you a simple 'technique'. But the truth is that the technique is not the most important part.
I'll tell you a story that illustrates this; When I tried to heal a broken leg of a girl I really disliked, the leg ended up getting WORSE after the healing! It took longer to heal and hurt worse.
I did the technique correctly and managed to heal other people properly at this time, but I failed at healing her because energy healing is something that's very much affected by your emotional state of being. That's why in this course I have a whole section designed to teach you compassion, which is crucial for you to become an effective energy healer.
Another important component of energy healing is the ability to focus and to be mindful while you heal. In other courses you're just taught a 'technique' and asked to do it. But nowadays with our smartphones and other distractions, we often struggle with performing such focused tasks. That's why in this course you'll also be given a very thorough mindfulness training which will allow you to perform energy healing like a pro.
Finally, you'll be taught techniques which will help you focus your intention. Once you master intention, compassion and mindfulness, you will be given a technique that will allow you to heal people on a one-on-one basis and via distance.
A holistic approach to health and training that takes rest into account as well as exercise and helps you to develop a routine which is best for YOU, not an 'average' person.
