Flip the Switch: Activate Your Drive to Achieve a Freakish Level of Success


Book Description

Learn now to unlock your "prey drive"—the instinctual ability that allows you to "flip the switch" to achieve massive success Micheal Burt was already a successful basketball coach when he discovered, quite by accident, how to articulate the concept he had been using for years to motivate himself and his players. At a workshop in Tennessee taught by a Vietnam veteran, he learned about the "prey drive" of war dogs—an instinctive inclination to find, pursue, and capture their prey. In Flip the Switch, Coach Burt shows how humans, too, have this instinctive drive—not for hunting prey, but for pursuing goals with a persistence and intensity that goes far beyond the usual efforts applied to everyday tasks. As with war dogs, external stimuli are required for flipping the switch: For the dogs, it's movement or scent. What are they for you? In these inspiring and eye-opening pages, you'll discover how to find what activates you, personally, to do more, create more, and achieve freakish levels of success. You'll explore them all in detail, in chapters that include: Motivated by What? The Three Phases of the Prey Drive The Science Behind What Activates You Screw Your Why: How to Get Your Purpose to Activate You Going All In: How to Make Your Drive a Daily Habit Creating Value in the World: Becoming a Contender Prioritizing and Personalizing Your Prey Drive: The Keys to Continued Expansion The Habit of 1% Performers: How to Re-ignite Your Prey Drive and GO PRO Every Single Day Throughout Flip the Switch, Coach Burt explains how to analyze and explore the primary drivers: fear, competition, exposure, environment, inspiration from others, and yes—even embarrassment. Whether you're flipping the switch to win a championship or win new business, knowing how to find external stimuli that activates that thing inside of you is what will allow you to achieve your highest goals—naturally.

QBQ! The Question Behind the Question


Book Description

The lack of personal accountability is a problem that has resulted in an epidemic of blame, victim thinking, complaining, and procrastination. No organization—or individual—can successfully compete in the marketplace, achieve goals and objectives, provide outstanding service, engage in exceptional teamwork, or develop people without personal accountability. John G. Miller believes that the troubles that plague organizations cannot be solved by pointing fingers and blaming others. Rather, the real solutions are found when each of us recognizes the power of personal accountability. In QBQ! The Question Behind the Question®, Miller explains how negative, ill-focused questions like “Why do we have to go through all this change?” and “Who dropped the ball?” represent a lack of personal accountability. Conversely, when we ask better questions—QBQs—such as “What can I do to contribute?” or “How can I help solve the problem?” our lives and our organizations are transformed. THE QBQ! PROMISE This remarkable and timely book provides a practical method for putting personal accountability into daily actions, with astonishing results: problems are solved, internal barriers come down, service improves, teams thrive, and people adapt to change more quickly. QBQ! is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to learn, grow, and change. Using this tool, each of us can add tremendous worth to our organizations and to our lives by eliminating blame, victim-thinking, and procrastination. QBQ! was written more than a decade ago and has helped countless readers practice personal accountability at work and at home. This version features a new foreword, revisions and new material throughout, and a section of FAQs that the author has received over the years.

The Switch


Book Description

How can you lose weight, ease chronic conditions, and stay healthier longer? Discover how to “rewrite your health destiny” (David Perlmutter, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Grain Brain) with this accessible book that teaches you how to flip the switch on your metabolism with intermittent fasting, protein cycling, and keto. Within each of us is an ancient mechanism that eliminates toxic materials, initiates fat burning, and protects cells from becoming dysfunctional—or turning cancerous. It’s called autophagy, and when it’s turned on, the complex operation not only can slow down the aging process, it can optimize biological function as a whole, helping to stave off all manner of diseases and affording us the healthy life spans we never thought possible. It’s the body’s ultimate switch to life. So how can we positively activate this switch? How frequently should we fast and for how long? Which foods dial up autophagy or, conversely, turn it down? How much exercise and what types are recommended? What’s the sweet spot between intermittent fasting, protein cycling, and ketogenic eating? Backed by a wealth of scientific data and featuring a gallery of guidelines to follow for lasting results, “The Switch offers a paradigm shift in the way we think about health—and how to avoid decline and illness. This is a must read” (Mark Hyman, #1 New York Times bestselling author).
