Cayla Craft

Read by the author and Jesse Vilinsky.
Don't settle for less in your life. Unlock a new way of thinking that can transform your world and help you achieve the life you've been longing for.
In What Do You Really Want?, successful entrepreneur and life coach Cayla Craft reveals seven questions that can unlock a new paradigm for dreaming, envisioning, and activating the life story you want to live.
Has it ever felt like your life hasn't turned out quite like you thought it would? Maybe you have a sense something isn't working, but you can't figure out what. We all want to experience greater joy, peace, and love in our lives. We all want to find our true purpose and live an abundant life. But to do that, we first have to ask ourselves a few questions and get to know someone who we might be unconsciously allowing to drive our lives: our younger selves.
Cayla Craft was working as an ER nurse when she realized that it wasn't what she really wanted. As she started getting honest with herself and answering some tough questions, she realized that she was unconsciously believing a lot of unhelpful narratives about herself that were influencing her everyday life. This realization led to her quitting her day job and developing the Take 7 approach to personal growth and fulfillment that has helped thousands of women live their best lives. Only when she took charge of her life's narrative—and the stories she was telling herself—did she find the life of her dreams.
In What Do You Really Want? Cayla guides you through the seven questions that can change everything:What's not working for me in my life?When did I first start accepting that?What 'little me' is showing up right now?What is a better way of looking at this?Where is there space for gratitude in this?What do I really want?What is the best next step for me?
What Do You Really Want? will show you how to:Eliminate areas of self-sabotage by learning how to take control of your narrativeFind the courage to identify and make the necessary sacrifices to create the life you were made forReplace a cycle of toxic positivity with action that comes from a place of truth and self-knowledge
When you learn to use this self-coaching method, you'll discover the more enriching, deeply fulfilled life that God intended you to have. What Do You Really Want? goes beyond current explanations about how narratives shape us and helps you discover the questions you should be asking so you can use those answers to inspire a transformation in your life and the lives of others.

Feudalism and Its Transition -...

Arlo Holders

This book contains the following titles: 
  - The Feudal System: Feudalism was a dominant social, economic, and political system in medieval Europe that shaped the lives of millions from the 9th to the 15th centuries. Rooted in the decline of the Roman Empire, it emerged as a response to the need for local defense, stability, and order. With the fall of centralized authority, particularly in the wake of the collapse of Roman imperial power, local leaders, and warriors filled the vacuum, giving rise to a new hierarchical structure that became the backbone of medieval society. 
  - The End of Feudalism: Feudalism was a social, political, and economic system that dominated medieval Europe, particularly from the 9th to the 15th century. Its structure was based on the exchange of land for loyalty, military service, and labor. At its core, feudalism established a hierarchical order in which the king, or monarch, granted land, known as fiefs, to vassals (nobles) in exchange for their service. In turn, these vassals would grant portions of their land to serfs or peasants, who worked the land in return for protection and sustenance. This land-based economy was highly localized, with power concentrated in the hands of a few, and much of daily life revolved around agricultural production.

Jack is a stressed out CEO of a once-great business, Stackflow. But after a pandemic, supply chain chaos, labor market fluctuations, and his own failed strategic initiatives, Jack is struggling to keep his head above water - and the company's. Like nearly every other CEO in history, Jack is working endless hours away from his family, who is quickly losing patience. During those long days, he's cobbling together ideas and goals - and still not seeing meaningful results. 
But if Jack can't figure out how to make the company profitable again, Stackflow's days are limited. 
Or at least, Jack's days are limited as CEO.

Charlie Joseph is a strategic consultant who's led transformations at businesses similar to Stackflow. It's this coincidental meeting that will help Jack reimagine everything he's been doing as a leader, design a strategy for success that actually works, navigate through the storms of high-level business in the 2020s, and finally right the ship.
