In an effort to keep up with a world of too much, life hackers sometimes risk going too far. Life hackers track and analyze the food they eat, the hours they sleep, the money they spend, and how they're feeling on any given day. They share tips on the most efficient ways to tie shoelaces and load the dishwasher; they employ a tomato-shaped kitchen timer as a time-management tool.They see everything as a system composed of parts that can be decomposed and recomposed, with algorithmic rules that can be understood, optimized, and subverted. In Hacking Life, Joseph Reagle examines these attempts to systematize living and finds that they are the latest in a long series of self-improvement methods. Life hacking, he writes, is self-help for the digital age's creative class. Reagle chronicles the history of life hacking, from Benjamin Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanack through Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and Timothy Ferriss's The 4-Hour Workweek. He describes personal outsourcing, polyphasic sleep, the quantified self movement, and hacks for pickup artists. Life hacks can be useful, useless, and sometimes harmful (for example, if you treat others as cogs in your machine). Life hacks have strengths and weaknesses, which are sometimes like two sides of a coin: being efficient is not the same thing as being effective; being precious about minimalism does not mean you are living life unfettered; and compulsively checking your vital signs is its own sort of illness. With Hacking Life, Reagle sheds light on a question even non-hackers ponder: what does it mean to live a good life in the new millennium?

It’s no secret that college doesn’t prepare students for the real world. Student loan debt recently eclipsed credit card debt for the first time in history and now tops one trillion dollars. And the throngs of unemployed graduates chasing the same jobs makes us wonder whether there’s a better way to “make it” in today’s marketplace. There is—and Dale Stephens is proof of that. In Hacking Your Education, Stephens speaks to a new culture of “hackademics” who think college diplomas are antiquated. Stephens shows how he and dozens of others have hacked their education, and how you can, too. You don’t need to be a genius or especially motivated to succeed outside school. The real requirements are much simpler: curiosity, confidence, and grit. Hacking Your Education offers valuable advice to current students as well as those who decided to skip college. Stephens teaches you to create opportunities for yourself and design your curriculum—inside or outside the classroom. Whether your dream is to travel the world, build a startup, or climb the corporate ladder, Stephens proves you can do it now, rather than waiting for life to start after “graduation” day.

Designed for educators, researchers, practitioners, or anyone interested in maximizing human potential, Motivation for Learning and Performance outlines 50 key motivation principles based on the latest scientific evidence from the disciplines of psychology, education, business, athletics, and neurology. Using a highly applied and conversational style, the book is designed to inform the reader about how to diagnosis, analyze, and mediate learning and performance challenges influenced by motivation. The book features chapters on the biopsychology of motivation, how motivation changes across the lifespan, and the important influence of culture on motivated behavior. Three chapters are devoted to practical strategies and the implementation of motivational change. Special sections are included on enhancing motivation at work, in the classroom, in competitive environments, and during online education. Hoffman employs the innovative approach of using his interviews with "real" people including many notable personalities across diverse cultures and disciplines to illustrate motivated behavior. For example, readers will learn what motivated the colossal investment fraud masterminded by Bernie Madoff, the intimate thoughts of former NFL superstar Nick Lowery when he missed a field goal, and the joys and tribulations of Emmy-nominated "Curb your Enthusiasm" actress Cheryl Hines. The book provides a practical, applied, and multi-disciplinary resource for anyone interested in motivation and performance, but especially for university students at the graduate or undergraduate level studying education, psychology, business, leadership, hospitality, sports management, or military science. Additionally, the writing style and eclectic nature of the text will appeal to readers of non-fiction who can use the book to gain self-awareness to enhance performance of themselves or others. - Considers motivation for both learning and performance - Identifies 50 foundational principles relating to motivation - Provides research evidence supporting the foundational principles - Includes interviews from famous individuals, identifying what motivated them and why - Includes research from psychology, education, neuroscience, business, and sports

From Inc.com's most popular columnist, a counterintuitive--but highly practical--guide to finding and maintaining the motivation to achieve great things. It's comforting to imagine that superstars in their fields were just born better equipped than the rest of us. When a co-worker loses 20 pounds, or a friend runs a marathon while completing a huge project at work, we assume they have more grit, more willpower, more innate talent, and above all, more motivation to see their goals through. But that's not at actually true, as popular Inc.com columnist Jeff Haden proves. "Motivation" as we know it is a myth. Motivation isn't the special sauce that we require at the beginning of any major change. In fact, motivation is a result of process, not a cause. Understanding this will change the way you approach any obstacle or big goal. Haden shows us how to reframe our thinking about the relationship of motivation to success. He meets us at our level--at the beginning of any big goal we have for our lives, a little anxious and unsure about our way forward, a little burned by self help books and strategies that have failed us in the past—and offers practical advice that anyone can use to stop stalling and start working on those dreams. Haden takes the mystery out of accomplishment, proving that success isn't about spiritual awakening or a lightning bolt of inspiration --as Tony Robbins and adherents of The Secret believe--but instead, about clear and repeatable processes. Using his own advice, Haden has consistently drawn 2 million readers a month to his posts, completed a 107-mile long mountain bike race, and lost 10 pounds in a month. Success isn't for the uniquely-qualified; it's possible for any person who understands the true nature of motivation. Jeff Haden can help you transcend average and make lasting positive change in your life.

Learn to master a whole new frame of mind to increase your focus, motivation, drive, and career with biohacking! Ever wonder why that one overly-motivated friend of yours is always so successful at making money? Some people just have everything they need in the mental department, but what about the rest of us? We have all seen the movie starring Bradley Cooper. Unfortunately, there is no magic tablet that will bring you instant success, but there are things you can do to trick your body into that mindset and honestly feel like you have never felt before! As a health and fitness enthusiast, I have tried a lot of medications and supplements in the past, but it wasn't until I started using biohacking to literally hack my biology and mind into, truly, becoming limitless in all areas of my life. I became super motivated and driven. I started making more money as a forex trader after experiencing a huge increase in my passion and focus. Over the past couple years I've learned a TON and this book brings it all together for me to share with you! You will learn to use diet, exercise, sleep, habit formation techniques, supplementation, nootropics, and a few helpful life and biology hacks with the ultimate goal to make you more productive in your work and life. The following is a quote of a text I received from a fellow trading buddy of mine:"Dude I want to learn about a better way to make my mind and body function more harmoniously. I feel like I have all these ambitions and aspirations, but the way to get there is cloudy. I feel so unmotivated many times to do the work I know I need to do." -AnonymousThis quote fits perfectly with what I am trying to accomplish by providing you with this wealth of knowledge. After only a month he was seeing his hard work pay off and finally controlling the mental side of why he was failing over and over again. This book covers the following:-Using a low carbohydrate/low sugar diet to change how your body and mind function-How to work an easy exercise and sleep routine into your overall daily schedule-HABIT FORMATION and how to stick with the new habits you've made for yourself!-Daily vitamin and mineral supplementation specifically for improving the mind-Finally conquering issues like ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, and Hormone Imbalances-NOOTROPICS along with how and when to properly use them -SIMPLE and CHEAP lifestyle hacks to make the whole process a bit easierMost self-help books out there never address the biological issues involved in bettering your life. Unfortunately, positive affirmations and the "Law Of Attraction" won't get you very far. Your personal biology and the chemicals in your head are 90% of what is stopping you from changing your life. This book covers topics that can help you to become a machine at accomplishing tasks and improving your overall "work/life balance", but the part most people struggle with is the formation of new habits and not giving up. This is why I have tailored each chapter with that goal in mind and we address why people give up and how you can get around the mental struggles of a new routine. If you have seen the movies out there and think it's impossible to become that advanced of a human being, you're wrong. I can't promise you will master the stock market in a day or learn a new language in a week, but this book will give you the tools and the motivation to at least want to try! Learn why it has been so difficult for you and finally get to where you want to be and have it finally "click"!ABOUT THE AUTHOR:My name is Matt. I'm a 29 year old foreign exchange trader and entrepreneur. My background is in chemistry and pharmaceutical manufacturing and development, but a few years out of college I began following the global markets and fell in love! I struggled for years with getting my mind right to be self-employed and this book is the culmination of everything I have learned thus far.

A global security expert draws on psychological insights to help you master the art of social engineering—human hacking. Make friends, influence people, and leave them feeling better for having met you by being more empathetic, generous, and kind. Eroding social conventions, technology, and rapid economic change are making human beings more stressed and socially awkward and isolated than ever. We live in our own bubbles, reluctant to connect, and feeling increasingly powerless, insecure, and apprehensive when communicating with others. A pioneer in the field of social engineering and a master hacker, Christopher Hadnagy specializes in understanding how malicious attackers exploit principles of human communication to access information and resources through manipulation and deceit. Now, he shows you how to use social engineering as a force for good—to help you regain your confidence and control. Human Hacking provides tools that will help you establish rapport with strangers, use body language and verbal cues to your advantage, steer conversations and influence other’s decisions, and protect yourself from manipulators. Ultimately, you’ll become far more self-aware about how you’re presenting yourself—and able to use it to improve your life. Hadnagy includes lessons and interactive “missions”—exercises spread throughout the book to help you learn the skills, practice them, and master them. With Human Hacking, you’ll soon be winning friends, influencing people, and achieving your goals.
