Focus For Dummies

Are you tired of failing to finish what you start? Intentional, from productivity expert Chris Bailey, is the motivational guide you need. 'A powerful guide to turning ambition into action' - Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit and Supercommunicators Most of us have no problem setting goals. We know what we want, and we have a pretty good sense of what it takes to get it. But consistently making progress until we've reached that goal is the hard part. In Intentional, Chris Bailey, bestselling author of Hyperfocus, presents a new and better way to accomplish your goals. It turns out, the secret to finishing what you start isn't willpower or the latest productivity hack - it's intentionality. Your deepest intentions are your greatest motivating force. By structuring your goals around the things that matter most to you, whether that's feeling secure in your job, having autonomy over your decisions or being in a community, getting things done becomes second nature. Drawing from the latest productivity research and packed full of practical strategies, Intentional will show you how to:<ul><li>Structure goals to increase the likelihood of completion</li><li>Make unappealing, boring or frustrating tasks more attractive to do</li><li>Lower the chance of procrastinating</li><li>Create a system for tracking progress</li><li>Know when a goal isn't for you - and when it's time to let it go.</li></ul> With Chris Bailey as your guide, finishing what you start is more possible than you think. 'An important new contribution to the genre!' - Cal Newport, New York Times bestselling author of Slow Productivity and Deep Work 'The most productive man you'd ever hope to meet' - TED

How to Finish What You Start

Intentional

'Wenn ich erst abgenommen habe ...' 'Wenn ich erst selbstbewusster bin ...' Wie oft schieben wir unser eigentliches Leben auf, weil wir glauben, den Maßstäben der anderen nicht zu genügen? 
Wir alle kennen diese Momente. Vom Sportunterricht auf dem Schulhof bis zum Smalltalk in der Abteilungsküche: Unser Körper und unser Sein werden permanent verglichen, bewertet und einsortiert. Es ist eine unsichtbare Gewalt - eine Demütigung durch Blicke, Sprüche und Urteile, die zwar keine blauen Flecken hinterlässt, uns aber im 'Was wäre, wenn' gefangen hält. 
In ihrem kraftvollen Buchdebüt rechnet Merve Terzi,im Netz bekannt als @mervegsteuer, mit genau dieser Form der gesellschaftlichen Ausgrenzung ab. Mitreißend, ehrlich und ganz nah am Leben erzählt sie, wie nahtlos die Bewertung von der Kindheit ins Erwachsenenalter reicht - und wie tief wir diese Urteile internalisieren. 
Doch Merves Geschichte ist keine Leidensgeschichte und verharrt niemals in der Opferrolle. Ihr Buch ist ein Befreiungsschlag. Mit scharfzüngigem Witz, lebendigen Dialogen und einer entwaffnenden Ehrlichkeit zeigt sie, wie wir die Deutungshoheit über unser Leben zurückerobern. Neben dem Schmerz stehen bei ihr immer auch der unbezahlbare Wert von Familie und Freundschaft, herzhaftes Lachen und der Mut, einander beizustehen. Ein zutiefst solidarisches Buchfür alle, die Erfahrungen mit Ausgrenzung oder struktureller Benachteiligung gemacht haben - und eine mitreißende Ermutigung an uns alle, das Leben nicht mehr auf später zu verschieben.

Kaputtgelacht

From the bestselling author of Rejection Proof, a guide to making hard actions easy by using pleasure - not willpower - to achieve your goals. Work can be fun. Focus can be automatic. And success can be easy.Most people think that because great achievements are difficult, they must also feel difficult. They resort to grind culture and sheer willpower, attempting to bully themselves into success, only to be left with broken dreams and diminished self-confidence. The truth is, great accomplishments are rarely achieved through mental toughness. Rather, the most successful people find a way to make hard actions feel easy.Drawing on twelve epic stories from history and pop culture, bestselling author Jia Jiang outlines the four pillars of Easy Discipline-Enjoyment, Artistry, Systems, and Yourself-so you can take hard actions on a consistent basis, love yourself in the process, and achieve life-changing results. You'll learn:- How to harness the power of the One Action Goal system. - Why creative constraints are your best friend. - How to generate momentum in your early actions to help you succeed later on. - How to actively control and curate media consumption to educate and inspire you toward your goal.A love letter to ambitious people everywhere who are disorganised, undisciplined, and distracted, Easy Discipline will give you the mindsets and tools to turn flaws into assets, obstacles into stepstones, and dreams into realities.

How to Make Ambitious Goals Feel Simple

Easy Discipline

Four-time World Series champion and Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts pulls back the curtain on one of the most quietly powerful leadership philosophies in professional sports: an unshakable belief in the power of optimism, accountability, and human connection. Baseball is a game of failure, where even the best players succeed three times out of ten. For Roberts, that statistic represents an opportunity. In Relentless Positivity, he reveals how leading through uncertainty, pressure, and loss has taught him the secret to long-term success: meeting people where they are, embracing the mess, and having the courage to show a relentless, almost irrational positivity that helps your team step into its full potential. Drawing on stories from the clubhouse and the world stage—from his iconic stolen base with the 2004 Red Sox to a decade of managing the Dodgers to World Series glory—Roberts shares cornerstone principles that have shaped his approach to leadership and life, including: <ul><li>Be the thermostat, not the thermometer: How to bring the energy your team needs instead of simply reacting to the mood around you. </li><li>Clarity before commitment: Being candid about expectations creates stronger buy-in than getting someone to say yes without understanding what’s required of them.</li><li>Everyone has to want the ball: How to prepare like anyone on the team can be the one who steps up when it matters most.</li><li>Hope changes everything: You can’t always change your circumstances, but you can train yourself to recognize the opportunity that’s still available. </li></ul> Blending stories from a championship locker room with the insights of a master motivator, Roberts delivers a field-tested guide for anyone leading through complexity, whether in the stadium, in the conference room, or at home. Written for a time when our models for leadership are rapidly evolving, Relentless Positivity is a timely manifesto for building strong teams, resilient cultures, and sustaining personal success in any field.

Drawing on stories from the clubhouse and the world stage—from his iconic stolen base with the 2004 Red Sox to a decade of managing the Dodgers to World Series glory—Roberts shows how leaders can transform setbacks into strength and criticism into motivation. Along the way, he shares nine cornerstone principles that have shaped his approach to leadership and life, including: <ul><li>Meet Once: Communicate clearly the first time to build trust and avoid confusion.</li><li>Put Down the Sword: Choose connection over conflict.</li><li>The Game Will Honor You: Focus on doing the little things right.</li><li>Find the Good: Lead with optimism, even when the scoreboard says otherwise.</li></ul> Blending stories from a championship locker room with the insights of a master motivator, Roberts delivers a field-tested guide for anyone leading through complexity, whether in the stadium, in the conference room, or at home.

The Values Map

A provocative exposé of how our attention, behavior, and desires have been co-opted by the “choice box”—a curated set of options that offer a false sense of agency while funneling us down pre-determined paths controlled by a select few Choice boxes are all around us, but chances are you’ve never noticed them. Every time you click on a recommended video, rate an Uber driver, run a Google search, or invest in your 401k, you may think you’re the one calling the shots—but in reality, you’re limited to making the choices that a corporation wants you to make. Today, structured decision-making governs our lives to such an extent that we hardly see it at all. But who designs these choices, and whose interests do they serve? In Choose Your Captivity, historian Eli Cook introduces readers to the choice architects who first built these boxes and trapped us inside—from the maze-building eugenicist who invented the multiple-choice test to the marketing gurus who sold off our supermarket shelves to a few ultra-processed food giants. In less than a generation, architects like these have transformed a handful of online platforms into the richest businesses in the world. And by determining our options, controlling our actions, and even shaping our identities, they have laid the groundwork&nbsp;for the winner-takes-all game of digital capitalism that dominates us today. In a society built around the promise of free choice and personal responsibility, Cook argues, these hidden architects might just have the greatest power of all. A propulsive and vivid history, Choose Your Captivity opens readers’ eyes to the immense power of the choice box—and how to escape it.

Making Peace with Money and Honoring Your Soul's Purpose

Heal Your Money Karma

The smartest person in the room is the room itself Twenty people sat in a conference room above Times Square arguing about a store they had all helped build. Jim Fielding knew what he wanted to do. He had 90 seconds, the authority to end it, and every instinct telling him to solve the room. He counted to seven instead. What happened in that silence became the ASK system: Approach, Surface, Keep. Ask for An Answer: The Twelve-Minute System for Stronger Teams, Better Decisions, and a Kinder World walks you through that system step-by-step. Built by USA Today bestselling author of All Pride, No Ego Jim Fielding over 35 years leading teams at Disney, Gap, DreamWorks, Fox, and Claire's, this practical system helps leaders turn curiosity into action; inside, you'll find five moves you can run in twelve minutes, guardrails that keep curiosity from becoming an excuse to stall, and reset phrases that reopen a conversation the moment it starts to close. Running underneath all of it is radical kindness with a spine, the kind that names the problem, offers help, and holds the standard anyway. Being the leader with the answer works. It works right up until your best people stop bringing you theirs. Because the smartest person in the room is the room itself. It works in a tense staff meeting. It works at a kitchen table on a bad night. That is the point. Inside you'll find: <ul> <li>A five-step decision system you can run in twelve minutes, in any room, in any industry.</li> <li>The 5 C's, the culture code that keeps the system running when you are not in the room: Curiosity, Communication, Collaboration, Commitment, and Celebration.</li> <li>The Equity Ask Round, a five-minute turn around the table that gets the quietest expert heard first.</li> <li>Seven reset phrases, each under 15 words, for the meeting that is going sideways and the conversation that is shutting down.</li> <li>A two-week sprint that installs all of it, with no steering committee and no six-month initiative.</li> </ul> Some leaders come to this because something hurt. Others come because they can see what is possible. Both are welcome, and both start with the same question. Ask it tomorrow.

The Twelve-Minute System for Stronger Teams, Better Decisions, and a Kinder World

Ask for an Answer

From the bestselling author of Do Hard Things and Win the Inside Game comes a guide to showing up in the moments that demand your best and shape who you become. We’ve all been there. The nerves, pressure, doubts, and that voice in our head screaming “what if I’m not good enough?” Once we enter the arena, everything changes, and none of us are immune. Even an Olympic champion muttered on the starting line, "What the hell am I doing here?" Yet, we fundamentally misunderstand pressure and how to rise to the occasion. It’s time to redefine what it means to step up and compete. We’ve been sold a one-dimensional picture of the competitor: fearless, ruthless, dominant, the alpha dog. But fear and doubt aren’t a sign of weakness. They’re the price of admission. Drawing on new science and an original survey of over 2,000 high performers across sport, business, and the arts, Magness shows us that the best aren't defined by fearlessness or fire. They're defined by range: the ability to summon the right state at the right moment. They’re able to be fierce without becoming reckless, focused without becoming rigid, and driven without losing the people beside them. Step Into the Arena is about more than just performing. The arena isn’t just a stadium or a stage. It’s the blank page, the difficult conversation, and every moment when we care deeply, the outcome is uncertain, and failure stings. In a world of curated feeds and sideline critics, the arena is one of the last places of unfiltered truth. It’s where we stop hiding, risk failure for something worthy, and find out what we're made of. It asks something larger of us: What are we striving for? How will we strive? And who will we become in the process? For everyone who has ever known exactly what they were capable of, and watched the moment take it away, it's time to take it back. Step into the arena. It's where you'll find out who you are.
