Limitless


Book Description

Limitless helps innovators, idealists, and iconoclasts get "unstuck" -- and achieve extraordinary results. This book is like a high energy masterclass and brainstorming session all in one - with actionable tips to transform your vision for your career and doing work with purpose. What if success doesn't equal happiness? Many of us spend our lives pursuing a singular idea of success, one that was created for us by someone else. We give votes to those who shouldn't even have voices and strive to go faster and faster even as we find ourselves falling further and further behind. We chase gold stars, we check all the boxes, we Lean In - and we still feel incomplete. This is not a story about failure, but it might as well be. When we don't define success in our own terms, finding our purpose and carving our own path becomes impossible. How do you break the cycle so that you can be better at work and life? In Limitless, Laura Gassner Otting teaches you how to ignore the rules that created your limits, align your energies and your actions, and do work that really matters so that you can live your best life. Often described as "a kick in the ass surrounded by a warm hug," Laura brings both tough love and wisdom and offers a no-holds-barred look at what it really takes to get out of your own way and earn your success today. If you ever dreamed about discovering and crushing that personal goal that is so big and so scary that you've only dared whisper it to yourself, this book is the permission you didn't even know you needed to live into it as only you can.

Carve Your Life


Book Description

We have more things, but are we more of ourselves? Carvism, the author's indigenously developed philosophy, is the art of carving away unnecessary things and keeping only that which is of true value. As we grow older, we begin accumulating many needless beliefs, opinions, habits and tendencies. By the time we are adults, our true self is already hidden behind the rocks of superfluities. We are prisoners of the unnecessary, and the only way to free our beautiful true self is by chipping away the inessential from our lives. Just as a sculptor carves out the beauty hidden in a piece of stone, we, too, need to take a hammer and chisel to our selves.The first section provides an insight into various principles of Carvism. This section is followed by self-carving qualities, which are the essential abilities you need to carve out the life you want. 'Shape your mind' is about using human psychology and the subconscious mind to your advantage. 'Find your passion' shows you the way to discover your inner calling. Subsequent chapters provide step-by-step instructions on inculcating the true essence of Carvism in one's professional and personal life, and explain how the Carve Your Life philosophy can put them on the path to discovering their true selves.About Author About the authorDr Prem Jagyasi, an award-winning global leader and acclaimed life coach, has been to 65 countries to deliver keynote speeches and conduct focused workshops.Renowned for delivering succinct and customized Carve Your Life training programmes, Dr Prem utilizes his vast experience, cultural knowledge and signature Carvism Principles to establish lively communication with his audiences.
