NO OPTIONS - My 365-Day Journey...

Dean Latusek

No Options is a book of healing that not only inspires, but also relentlessly confronts readers as they join Latusek on an unconventional journey of transformation and self-discovery. A roadmap that proves that we do not need to “go silently into the good night” but rather fight to continuously improve regardless of age.
He questioned the preconceived notion that we should all just accept the fact that we become less capable as we age. He then set out on a solo mission into the unknown to prove to himself, and anyone that doubted him, that “limitations” are, in fact, a figment of our imaginations. He exposed the hypocrisy of his desire to seek comfort by finally opening his mind to the truth. A truth that had been silenced for upwards of two decades. A truth, that once acknowledged, proved to quickly reverse the effects of lethargy and self-doubt.
Through trial and error, he discovered that the key to defeating his health crisis had less to do with traditional workouts and diet plans and everything to do with administering daily doses of tough love upon himself. By challenging himself to push far beyond what he thought were his limits, he began to change in ways that quickly became apparent. It was his mindset that truly made all the difference, not only in his capabilities, but in every aspect of his life. Transforming his body was the byproduct of something that he is still only beginning to understand and now knows that perseverance is a nonnegotiable when striving for lasting change.

Follow With Reason - Mastering...

Bob Galindo Jr.

You Are a Born Follower
We all have a primal instinct to follow—yet in a society that idolizes leadership, this instinct often goes unnoticed and, therefore, unchecked and untrained. Most of us follow without conscious thought in all aspects of our lives—personal, professional, and otherwise. We adhere to our instincts, social norms, hierarchies, and popular opinions simply because that is what we’ve been taught to do. But this blind, unreasoned following isn’t just ineffective; it can be dangerous.
In Follow with Reason, Bob Galindo Jr. unveils the power of disciplining your followship skills and identifies five essential degrees that will transform passive following into intentional, reasoned following. From the instinctual degree—where we are born—through the curious and vulnerability degrees—where followship is a journey—Galindo offers real-life stories and exercises to help you discover a reasoned followship process. You’ll learn not only why and how you follow, but how to harness elite followship skills to become more self-aware, protect yourself from manipulation, and even become a better leader!
Having a deficit of followship skills doesn’t mean you do not follow. Everyone follows. It just means you may not follow well. Discover why mastering these five degrees of skilled followship is crucial. Take control of your influence, align your decisions with purpose, and follow—with reason.
