    A world-renowned psychologist and mindfulness performance expert who has helped superstars such as Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant transform their careers, offers proven strategies for unleashing our innate strengths, avoiding burnout, and discovering enduring success.  
     
    We all strive to find flow, when our skills, expertise, and mindset are aligned and we can perform, unimpeded, at the highest level. George Mumford calls this being “unlocked”—a state anyone can achieve at any time. A psychologist trained in the field of mindfulness and personal development expert, Mumford has decades of experience helping a wide range of individuals—from CEOs and NBA superstars to the chronically underrepresented, those experiencing homeless and fighting addiction—contend with the challenges and opportunities inherent in life. Now, in this life-changing guide, he shares his wisdom with all of us, no matter our background or socioeconomic status, brilliantly guiding us on a path to discovering and harnessing our own individual potential. 
    “People have called me the ‘performance whisperer,’” Mumford writes. “I coax and tease. I ‘whisper’ to the stubborn, oppositional part of us that resists growth, that refuses to break old habits. To unlock the greatness within, we have to crack that shell to access what’s underneath. It can be a difficult, painful process, much the way performance-training stretches our body and the limits of our endurance. The mental training, I do with athletes, prisoners, teachers, college administrators, businesspeople and others has a similar aspect. It shakes us out of the familiar and puts us in touch with deeper aspects of ourselves.” 
    Chock full of tangible insights, unexpected ancient wisdom, and inspiring stories from his clients and his own life—from his darkest moments of addiction and inner turmoil to training some of the best athletes in the world—Unlocked is the culmination of Mumford’s life’s work; it helps us discover our gifts. To sustain success no matter the game or the stakes. To step into the power within us and embrace the freedom of being unlocked.

    Independent artists all over the world are trooping into the entertainment industry to find a spot for themselves. This is because the entertainment industry has proven to be very enterprising and profitable. However, many people give up before achieving anything tangible because they fail to get signed by a big record label. Getting signed by a record label is not a bad idea; however, being an independent artist isn't less profitable. Being by yourself without getting the support that you see others get might be very discouraging. That is how the situation was in the past, before the digitalization of the music industry through technology. In this book, I examined indie music's evolution and the differences between a record label artist and an independent artist.This book also examines the challenges of an indie artist. The various emotional, professional, and marketing strategies that an artist may face by himself or herself are extensively discussed and analyzed. As an aspiring or trying or independent musician, you would find this valuable book in your struggle to build a name against the odd. The book explains the three categories of challenges and explains the fundamental method s of coping and developing as an indie musician. It teaches indie musicians to learn what it takes and means to do it all themselves.In recent times, it is obvious that technology has replaced the record labels and their benefits as a bridge between an upcoming artist and success. Beautifully enough, it has made it so easy and simple for artists to now make, promote and sell their music without consulting or contacting anyone. It is now a world truly for independence. At this point in time, many artists are quitting their record labels to face their music themselves or set up their own independent record labels. This book clearly exposes and expresses what it looks like to make it as an indie artist and what it takes.    The Evolution o

    Previously published as Truth and Duty: The Press, the President, and the Privilege of Power.A riveting play-by-play of a reporter getting and defending a story that recalls All the President's Men, Truth puts listeners in the center of the 60 Minutes II story on George W. Bush's shirking of his National Guard duty. The firestorm that followed that broadcast — a conflagration that was carefully sparked by the right and fanned by bloggers — trashed Mapes' well-respected 25-year producing career, caused newsman Dan Rather to resign from his anchor chair early, and led to an unprecedented "internal inquiry" into the story...chaired by former Reagan attorney general Richard Thornburgh.Truth examines Bush's political roots as governor of Texas, delves into what is known about his National Guard duty — or lack of service — and sheds light on the solidity of the documents that backed up the National Guard story, even including images of the actual documents in an appendix to the book. It is peopled with a colorful cast of characters — from Karl Rove to Sumner Redstone — and moves from small-town Texas to Black Rock — CBS corporate headquarters — in New York City. Truth connects the dots between a corporation under fire from the federal government and the decision about what kinds of stories a news network may cover. It draws a line from reporting in the trenches to the gutting of the great American tradition of an independent media and asks whether it's possible to break important stories on a powerful sitting president.A Macmillan Audio production.

    The biggest challenge for authors is transitioning from being a writer to being an author, which are two totally different occupations. Many authors have the mindset that once they are published, their publisher handles all marketing and the sales come in like magic. In today's world, that is not reality, no matter how you are published. 
     
    Written by publisher and author, Terri Ann Leidich, and author marketing coach and support, Julie Bromley, this book simplifies marketing by taking the approach of Get Ready, Get Set, Succeed, putting marketing tasks into a logical order of what needs to be done and when so authors don't have to figure that out for themselves
