Summary

World famous competitive skydiver and coach Dan Brodsky-Chenfeld presents proven tools and techniques for success and explains how they can be used in everyday life. Dan survived a plane crash from which sixteen of the twenty-two people on board were killed. He was left critically injured and woke up from a six-week-long coma with a broken neck, broken skull, severe head trauma, a collapsed lung, and other serious internal injuries. Against all odds, Dan recovered and went on to become one of the greatest competitive skydiver in the world.  With the love and support of friends and family, Dan was able not only to resurrect his life but return to skydiving to achieve greater heights than he could have ever imagined. His techniques and methods for excelling are applicable to all people, no matter their goals. Dan uses his experiences to teach the lessons he’s learned—as a competitor, coach, business owner, father, and husband—to help others achieve their dreams, overcome obstacles, and reach their peak performance.

    Emotions are a huge part of who we are. Yet, we still don't pay enough attention to them the way we should. 
Are You the type of person that freely expresses your emotions? Or would you rather keep them buried somewhere, hoping to forget about them entirely? 
Anger, Joy, Happiness, Sadness, Excitement, Fear, Disgust. These are some of the basic emotions which researchers believe are built into our genetics. 
 They are always going to be part of who we are, and rather than deny their existence completely, we should learn to embrace them instead. 
Emotional regulation is a crucial factor in determining how well you are able to master your emotions. You can't change the circumstances that happen to you, 
 but you can control the way you choose to respond to. The choice is yours to react impulsively or otherwise. That choice always belongs to you,  
but it only becomes an effective choice when you know just how to effectively take control of your emotions, so they don't end up controlling you. 
Master Your Emotions will walk you through: 
A thorough understanding of what emotions are and how they are created. 
The impact your emotions can have on you, and the people around you. 
How mentally strong people are in control of their emotions. 
The repercussions of suppressing or ignoring your emotions. 
What you need to do to master your emotions once and for all. 
And more... 
Even if it seems impossible to control your emotions, this Audiobook will enable you to do so in a simple and guided way, and it will make you discover all the necessary steps to master them.  
Through this collection, you will be able to take all the steps needed to dominate your feelings. 
So, aren't you curious to undertake this journey straight away for both yourself and all the people around you? Don't waste any more precious time...

    For those of you unfamiliar with the analogy of the frog in the saucepan, let me fill you in. If you take a frog and place it into a saucepan of boiling water it will jump straight out. However, if you put the same frog in a lukewarm saucepan increasing the temperature slowly, its neurology does not notice the change and the frog remains in the pot until it boils to death. 
Basically, the analogy demonstrates that gradual changes happening over time make it difficult for us to notice. This can be positive and negative depending on whether that change has developed habits within our best interests or not. This explains why when we examine our weight over time we don’t notice it being a problem, however when presented with a photo of us at a younger age we notice the significant change straight away. This is something that occurs commonly, people tend to let their dietary habits slip over many years.  
For those of us that have fallen into the trap of indulging in (high calorie) foods, the problem is not with the foods chosen but more so the timing. To be more specific, people tend to eat these particular foods whilst having a break from stressors in the workplace. In other words, we fall into the trap of ‘comfort eating’.

    The author of Haunted North Georgia stalks the Civil War ghosts that populate the top of the Peach State.   Though Georgia was spared the hard hand of war for two years, combat arrived with a vengeance in September 1863 with the Battle of Chickamauga in north Georgia. It was the second largest battle of the Civil War and has become one of America’s most haunted battlefields, producing a long history of bizarre paranormal events that continue today. From Sherman’s notorious march to Confederate general James Longstreet’s continued inhabitance of his postwar home, Georgia is haunted by many of those who fought in America’s deadliest war. Join author Jim Miles as he details the ghosts that still roam Georgia’s Civil War battlefields, hospitals, and antebellum homes.   Includes photos!   “He’s a connoisseur of Georgia’s paranormal related activity, having both visited nearly every site discussed in his series of Civil War Ghost titles . . . Miles has covered a lot of ground so far from the bustling cities to the small towns seemingly in the middle of nowhere. This daunting task takes an inside look to the culture and stories that those born in Georgia grow up hearing about and connect with.” —The Red & Black
