Create the Life You Crave


Book Description

Looking to make a positive impact in your life? Look to your own internal guidance system first! ​The one activity each of us can pursue that would make the most significant impact in every life and in the world in general is to follow our internal guidance system—sometimes called the conscience. With Rex Conner’s insights, we can change the world! If you want to get what you crave out of life in just the way you want it, look no further than your own internal guidance system. There are many ways to apply this guidance if you know what to look for. This book contains a few of the most foundational and critical of those applications. For example, when we act on the assumption that love is unconditional and relationships are not, we are then free to be guided to make the best individual relationships in our lives. We won’t need to rely on other people or on societal norms or what might work in other relationships. When we learn to rely first on our internal guidance system to make the big crossroads decisions in our lives, we will be able to analyze and prioritize the avalanche of well-meaning advice we may receive from others. These are just two of the many applications of using your internal guidance system that will lead you to what you crave from your life. There is no preaching in Rex’s advice. The only advice Rex gives is to follow our internal guidance system until it leads us to the power within us! Who will this book serve? • You, if you are facing significant crossroads decisions in your life. • You, if all of the noise in the world leaves you feeling like you should do what you can about it. • You, if you feel that you should be contributing more to people or to life than you currently are, but don’t know to whom or how. • You, if you need permission to align your life with an inner voice or calling that seems to be compelling you to take action that you have been avoiding. • You, if you feel the need to develop your skills but realize current educational options will not result in that development. • You, if you are climbing the ladder of success but sense that it might be leaning against the wrong wall. • You, if you are compelled to make your life something that your inner guidance will judge to be a success. • You, if you have the influence to help someone who may need help. During preparations and training to become an Air Force fighter pilot, Rex had experiences that changed the direction of his life. When his wings were awarded, instead of flying fighters, he voluntarily became an instructor pilot and has been training people ever since. From the Air Force, “Train-a-saurus Rex” went on to become a trusted advisor inside more than fifty companies in more than a dozen industries. The uncommon path Rex introduces us to reflects the experience and knowledge he gained from his roles as trainer and advisor. By choosing to follow this path, we will find meaning and purpose in line with the only judge that matters: our own internal guidance system. Rex has the educational and professional credentials to lead, and he has the practical experience to help people find and follow the natural laws that underlie all human performance success.




The Life You Crave


Book Description

Do you ever wonder what your next step should be? If there is more to life? Do you crave something… better? Our culture and our own human nature drive us to crave many things: wealth, popularity, success, marriage, parenthood, and good health. None of these things are inherently bad, but neither will they satisfy our greatest craving-to be loved by our Savior. Through lessons drawn from the Bible and stories drawn from real life, The Life You Crave shows that God works in consistent and beautiful ways to give us a life that has more depth, fullness, substance, and meaning than we could ever imagine or achieve on our own. God draws close to us. He turns us around. And He fulfills every desperate, yearning, aching need with His pure and unending grace. Book jacket.

Wired for Story


Book Description

This guide reveals how writers can utilize cognitive storytelling strategies to craft stories that ignite readers’ brains and captivate them through each plot element. Imagine knowing what the brain craves from every tale it encounters, what fuels the success of any great story, and what keeps readers transfixed. Wired for Story reveals these cognitive secrets—and it’s a game-changer for anyone who has ever set pen to paper. The vast majority of writing advice focuses on “writing well” as if it were the same as telling a great story. This is exactly where many aspiring writers fail—they strive for beautiful metaphors, authentic dialogue, and interesting characters, losing sight of the one thing that every engaging story must do: ignite the brain’s hardwired desire to learn what happens next. When writers tap into the evolutionary purpose of story and electrify our curiosity, it triggers a delicious dopamine rush that tells us to pay attention. Without it, even the most perfect prose won’t hold anyone’s interest. Backed by recent breakthroughs in neuroscience as well as examples from novels, screenplays, and short stories, Wired for Story offers a revolutionary look at story as the brain experiences it. Each chapter zeroes in on an aspect of the brain, its corresponding revelation about story, and the way to apply it to your storytelling right now.

The Little Book on Meaning


Book Description

An invaluable guide and companion for anyone seeking greater meaning and purpose in life. A nominee for the Books for a Better Life award! As a pioneer in the field of life coaching, Laura Berman Fortgang has spent decades helping people figure out what they want to do with their lives. And so it was a bit of a surprise when a theme she heard repeatedly from clients emerged in her own thinking and would not be dismissed: work didn't feel as "meaningful" to her as it once had. It was one of those big realizations one has from time to time. The funny thing was that it turned out the "solution(s)" to her problem were quite small... In The Little Book on Meaning Laura Berman Fortgang reveals that while our hunger for a meaningful life can be enormous, our desire for meaning is usually satiated by small, bite-size morsels of meaning-the small, almost incidental events or "achievements" that comprise the fabric of our lives. According to Fortgang, meaning is where you look for it, and through tenderly drawn stories from her own life and the lives of those around her, she shows readers how they too can peek around corners to discover the small elements of their lives that truly matter.
