By Dennis Merritt Jones. 2018
Whether we're striving for a new job, a higher salary, or a better relationship, Dennis Merritt Jones explains that we…
all essentially want the same thing: freedom, inner peace, and a life filled with purpose and meaning. He argues that a life of wholeness and peaceful satisfaction is readily available to us--we just need the eyes to see it and the faith to claim it. The problem is that most people don't know where to look for such a life. This book will help readers open their eyes to the limitless abundance that lies waiting just beyond their current belief system. Jones identifies ten rules or practices that, when followed faithfully, lay the foundation for a life worth living. In order to make each rule as easy to apply as possible, Jones lays out the premise, the problem, the principle, the practice, and the payoff of each. The "Abundance Rules" assist readers in creating a greater flow of goodness into their lives--in ways they may have never considered. 2018.The beauty of discomfort: how what we avoid is what we need
By Amanda Lang. 2017
Truly successful people don’t merely tolerate discomfort - they embrace it and seek it out again and again. Business founders…
and university students, top athletes and couch potatoes, meditation gurus and military leaders all have very different ways of coping with discomfort, but the most successful among them believe that withstanding discomfort is a skill that has helped them in hugely positive ways. Some were forced into discomfort through no choice of their own - a life-altering illness, a business fiasco - while others signed up for it because they had goals they were determined to achieve. Becoming comfortable with discomfort won’t just make us more resilient and more successful, however we define success. It will also make us happier. 2017.The Belgians in Canada (Canada's ethnic groups. #20.)
