  There is a quote attributed to that most famous of individuals, Anonymous, "Starve your distraction, and feed your focus." This is the perfect idea with which to open this great new work from Brian Tracy. 
  We live in the most technologically advanced period of history, and in the most technologically advanced country. With the advent of mobile phones, killer apps, broadband internet speeds that stagger the imagination, and nearly any bit of information or products/solutions only one click away, how can it be that remaining optimally productive is such a challenge for so many? 
  In a word: Distraction. Many of us spend precious time focusing on the incessant and numerous emails, texts, notifications, ads, etc. that seem important . . . even urgent . . . to our success and happiness, but in reality, only complicate our lives and take us even further from our goals. Brian addresses this challenge of distraction in its many forms and shows you how to "feed your focus" on a daily basis. Learn: productivity promises and pitfalls in our modern age; the psychology of productivity; the best productivity methods ever conceived; how to end procrastination once and for all; and productivity and relationships: where it applies and where it doesn't.

  Economics for Humans - Second...

  At its core, an economy is about providing goods and services for human well-being. But many economists and critics preach that an economy is something far different: a cold and heartless system that operates outside of human control. In this impassioned and perceptive work, Julie A. Nelson asks a compelling question: given that our economic world is something that we as humans create, aren’t ethics and human relationships—dimensions of a full and rich life—intrinsically part of the picture? 
   
  Economics for Humans argues against the well-ingrained notion that economics is immune to moral values and distant from human relationships. Here, Nelson locates the impediment to a more considerate economic world in an assumption that is shared by both neoliberals and the political left. Despite their seemingly insurmountable differences, both make use of the metaphor, first proposed by Adam Smith, that the economy is a machine. This pervasive idea, Nelson argues, has blinded us to the qualities that make us work and care for one another—qualities that also make businesses thrive and markets grow. We can wed our interest in money with our justifiable concerns about ethics and social well-being. And we can do so if we recognize that an economy is not a machine, but a living thing in need of attention and careful tending.  
   
  This second edition has been updated and refined throughout, with expanded discussions of many topics and a new chapter that investigates the apparent conflict between economic well-being and ecological sustainability. Further developing the main points of the first edition, Economics for Humans will continue to both invigorate and inspire readers to reshape the way they view the economy, its possibilities, and their place within it.

  An inspirational, practical, and research-based guide for embracing risk and making a powerful impact at work.Have you ever wanted to disagree with your boss in a meeting? Speak up about your company's lack of diversity or unequal pay practices? Make a tough decision that you know will be unpopular?We all have opportunities to be courageous at work. But since courage requires risk—to our reputations, our social standing, and, in some cases, our jobs—we often fail to act, which leaves us feeling powerless and regretful for not doing what we know is right. There's a better way to work and live—and Choosing Courage provides the moral imperative and research-based tactics to help you make better use of your courageous instincts at work.Doing for courage what Angela Duckworth has done for grit and Brene Brown for vulnerability, Jim Detert, the world's foremost expert on workplace courage, explains that courage isn't a character trait that only a few possess; it's a virtue developed through practice. And, with the right attitude and approach, you can learn to hone it like any other skill and incorporate it into your everyday life.

  This new, updated edition of Culture Smart! Turkey reveals a nation in transition. Over the last two decades living conditons have improved greatly and Turkey is now classified as a developed country with an emerging market economy. Viewed by many as a model for outward-looking Islam, it is a country with laws to protect against religious paternalism, where restaurants are open during the fast of Ramadan, and where headscarves or no scarves can be worn in universities, schools, and public offices. Turkey continues to seek EU membership, but the road to accession has been full of twists and turns and the outcome is uncertain.
