Summary

"High Stakes" explores how to thrive when the pressure is on, focusing on the psychology of pressure, decision-making strategies, and confident leadership. It debunks the myth that consistent performance under pressure is an innate talent, instead framing it as a set of learnable skills. Drawing from neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and behavioral economics, the book analyzes the effects of stress and offers actionable techniques for optimizing mental and emotional states. Discover how high-performing individuals maintain focus through techniques also used in sports psychology, and learn strategies applicable to crisis management. The book guides readers through self-discovery and skill development, starting with understanding the triggers and impact of pressure on cognitive function. It then delves into decision-making, exploring models for evaluating risk and mitigating bias. Finally, it discusses leadership principles for inspiring confidence and fostering collaboration. Based on case studies of leaders in diverse fields and interviews with high-performing individuals, "High Stakes" provides a toolkit for improving decision-making, managing stress, and leading effectively in challenging circumstances.

    Where is God in my business? – Time poor; losing control; best employee gone; marriage breaking up. It shouldn’t be like this… 
You’re right, it shouldn’t – and it doesn’t have to be. 
Typically as Christian business owners we sense something’s missing. We build solid, commercial businesses, applying Christian values and morality into them because that’s what you do, right? Yet we’re dissatisfied. Our very gut tells us that good morals and values, whilst a familiar starting point just isn’t enough. Surely there’s got to be more! Businesses we grow with God…can’t they be transformingly different so, instead of draining us, they become exciting, energising to operate? 
In When Jesus Calls: Transforming businesses into expressions of God’s Kingdom, the invitation of Jesus is reissued to entrepreneurs: align your business with the Kingdom of God. It’s a gentle wooing by God’s Spirit. An invitation so attractive and outrageous that you’re drawn beautifully into His realm of possibilities. Where God Himself takes the lead as CEO of your business, powerfully renovating it into what He knows it can be. 
Peter Lawry (recognised by peers as one of the top SME Business Strategists and improvement specialists in New Zealand) has lived it and proved God’s faithfulness. So have the many Christian business women and men he’s interviewed. This book tells their stories; and shares how your business can undergo awe-inspiring transformation too. 
Reading When Jesus Calls is a profoundly life-changing journey. Peter doesn’t peddle unrealistic promises. He shares clear Biblical truth and life in the Spirit for business, in such an easy-to-grasp way – through stories. 
Start reshaping your business into one that really matters. Invest in When Jesus Calls today.

    The History of the Thirty Years War is a five volume work, which followed his very successful History of the Revolt of the Netherlands. Written for a wider audience than Revolt, it is a vivid history, colored by Schiller’s own interest in the question of human freedom and his rationalist optimism. Volume 3 covers the period from Gustavus Adolphus's victory at Leipzig (fall of 1631) until his death in the battle of Lutzen in November of 1632. - Summary by Alan Winterrowd
