The Grind Culture Detox - Heal Yourself from the Poisonous Intersection of Racism Capitalism and the Need to Produce

Heather Archer

Summary

Your Worth Is Not Measured by Your ProductionGrind culture refers to the false belief that to be considered valuable or worthy in our society, one must be productive. Lurking in the shadow of capitalism, grind culture is accepted as normal, even necessary, and most people aren’t even aware of the harmful ways it impacts us. Now, in The Grind Culture Detox, author Heather Archer exposes grind culture in all its complexity. Beginning with the history of grind culture in the United States, Archer explains how the poisonous legacies of stolen labor (chattel slavery) and stolen land (manifest destiny) have led to the exhausting workforce culture we have today. While facing that history is an important first step, Archer goes further by offering a blueprint for how we can radically reorient our lives and fundamentally change our relationship with work and production forever. Utilizing nontraditional approaches such as somatics, sound healing, herbalism, and more, The Grind Culture Detox is an invitation to experience an inner revolution—one where you recognize yourself as a sacred being and acknowledge you are worth far more than what you produce.

94X - Everything Changes When...

Sean Kouplen, Mick Schovanec

The authors, Sean Kouplen and Mick Schovanec are experienced business leaders and devout Christians. In 94X they take the stand that integrating faith and work is not only possible but essential for Christians in leadership positions. 94X begins by highlighting the challenges that Christian business leaders face in today's secular world. Throughout his experience as former Secretary of Commerce in Oklahoma, author Sean Kouplen was introduced to business owners and leaders all over the country. His associations with these leaders allowed him to also see what God was doing throughout various companies as the leadership focused on making God’s love known in a company’s culture.
Author Sean Kouplen began to see the transformation in his own company culture at Regent Bank in Oklahoma and Missouri as he began to step out and bring God’s love into the company.
Throughout the book, Kouplen provides practical advice on how Christian business leaders can bring their faith into the workplace. This is not only advice, but real-life experience based on his leadership as CEO of Regent Bank. He offers guidance with 12 proven principles on topics such as authenticity, calling, generosity, fostering a culture of respect and collaboration, and creating a work environment that brings glory to God.
One of the key themes of the book is the idea that Christian business leaders have a unique opportunity to impact the lives of their employees, customers, and communities. Sean and Mick also stress the importance of personal spiritual growth for Christian business leaders. They encourage leaders to cultivate a vibrant prayer life, seek out wise counsel, and stay connected to a supportive Christian community. This is where the vibrant community of faith through the 94X Movement is an integral part for many.

Why Nudge? - The Politics of...

Cass R. Sunstein

The bestselling author of Simpler offers a powerful, provocative, and convincing argument for protecting people from their own mistakesBased on a series of pathbreaking lectures given at Yale University in 2012, this powerful, thought-provoking work by national best-selling author Cass R. Sunstein combines legal theory with behavioral economics to make a fresh argument about the legitimate scope of government, bearing on obesity, smoking, distracted driving, health care, food safety, and other highly volatile, high-profile public issues. Behavioral economists have established that people often make decisions that run counter to their best interests—producing what Sunstein describes as "behavioral market failures." Sometimes we disregard the long term; sometimes we are unrealistically optimistic; sometimes we do not see what is in front of us. With this evidence in mind, Sunstein argues for a new form of paternalism, one that protects people against serious errors but also recognizes the risk of government overreaching and usually preserves freedom of choice.Against those who reject paternalism of any kind, Sunstein shows that "choice architecture"-government-imposed structures that affect our choices—is inevitable, and hence that a form of paternalism cannot be avoided. He urges that there are profoundly moral reasons to ensure that choice architecture is helpful rather than harmful—and that it makes people's lives better and longer.

Pearls from The LITTLE BOOK OF BUSINESS WISDOM"The man who starts out simply with the idea of getting rich won't succeed; you must have a larger ambition."-JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER"Think about the customer, not the competition: Competitors represent your industry's past, as, over the years, collective habits become ingrained. Customers are your future, representing new opportunities, ideas, and avenues for growth."-MICHAEL S. DELL"You've got to be out in front of crowds, repeating yourself over and over again, never changing your message no matter how much it bores you." -JACK WELCH"Always break orders to save owners. There never was a great character who did not sometimes smash the routine regulations and make new ones for himself." -ANDREW CARNEGIE"Don't speak up at a meeting until you have something meaningful to contribute. Talking to attract attention may call attention to your blank spots." -JO FOXWORTH"Make 'em feel guilty when they do nothing. One thing I can't stand is people who don't act on a situation. I'd rather that people make mistakes than sit around and not do something."-DAVE THOMAS
