The Little Book of Clarity - A...

Jamie Smart

If a pond is clouded with mud, theres nothing you can do to make the water clearer. But when you allow the mud to settle, it will clear on its own, because clarity is the waters natural state..... Clarity is your minds natural state. The Little Book of Clarity demonstrates in a succinct way, how to effortlessly keep a clear head and profit from the clarity of thought that a clear mind brings being more intuitive, more resilient, more agile, making connections, thinking more creatively and finding your natural motivation. In this book, entrepreneur and state-of-mind specialist Jamie Smart introduces a simple but profound realisation: that the human mind has its own self-clearing capacity, capable of guiding a person back to clarity, regardless of what state (or circumstances) they're in. While this is extremely evident in small children, all but a lucky few have it conditioned out of them by the time they reach adulthood. The book breaks the conditioning and unlocks the reader's inner resources by guiding them into an understanding of innate thinking, using an entertaining and engaging combination of stories, research, case-studies and pop-culture references. The reader will quickly experience increasing clarity and flow, a reduction in stress and an increase in productivity. Contents: Part 1 The Essential Foundations Part 2 The Deep Drivers Part 3 The Way Forward The book is written in such a way that as the reader's understanding of innate thinking increases, the benefits start to emerge automatically in their life. As they think less, they'll start to win more at work, at home, and at the game of life as a whole.

The Overseas Basketball...

Dre Baldwin

Since I started my website DreAllDay.com, along with all the YouTube videos, I have received many requests from players on playing pro basketball. And since the NBA has only so many positions, most of you know that overseas ball is a stronger possibility for you to continue your playing career, and it is: the NBA has 450 job positions while there are 10,000 players employed internationally (which includes Canada and Central and South America, which technically do not require going "over a sea" to get to, in case you cared).  
Over the years I have compiled several guides and tips for players on how to get their careers started, what to expect on the way and once they are in the door, and how to handle themselves with the on- and off-court situations that come with it. Every guide comes from questions that players frequently ask me.  
This guidebook is a compilation of all of those guides and tips in one place for your quick and easy reference. It should be noted that several, though not all, of the chapters of this book are based on the posts on the Guides & Tips page of my website, edited and updated for this guidebook.  
If you take only one thing from this guidebook, know that professional basketball is a buyer's market: There are more candidates than there are jobs, so the people who do the hiring - the teams themselves - have the power. What this means for you is you need to make yourself stand out.
