The Power of Moments

Pages : 320
Book Description
The New York Times bestselling authors of Switch and Made to Stick explore why certain brief experiences can jolt us and elevate us and change us—and how we can learn to create such extraordinary moments in our life and work. While human lives are endlessly variable, our most memorable positive moments are dominated by four elements: elevation, insight, pride, and connection. If we embrace these elements, we can conjure more moments that matter. What if a teacher could design a lesson that he knew his students would remember twenty years later? What if a manager knew how to create an experience that would delight customers? What if you had a better sense of how to create memories that matter for your children? This book delves into some fascinating mysteries of experience: Why we tend to remember the best or worst moment of an experience, as well as the last moment, and forget the rest. Why “we feel most comfortable when things are certain, but we feel most alive when they’re not.” And why our most cherished memories are clustered into a brief period during our youth. Readers discover how brief experiences can change lives, such as the experiment in which two strangers meet in a room, and forty-five minutes later, they leave as best friends. (What happens in that time?) Or the tale of the world’s youngest female billionaire, who credits her resilience to something her father asked the family at the dinner table. (What was that simple question?) Many of the defining moments in our lives are the result of accident or luck—but why would we leave our most meaningful, memorable moments to chance when we can create them? The Power of Moments shows us how to be the author of richer experiences.

Step Up explains six critical "leadership moments"—everyday instances when you have a choice to shine or let opportunity pass you by. Based on their own research and extensive client work, Evans and Foster identify six regularly occurring moments and help you understand how to act wisely and decisively when those moments arise, showing how to: Get Angry, Not Stupid Avoid Terminal Politeness Decide Already Act When You are the Problem Leverage Pessimism Reverse Momentum Anyone can take advantage of opportunities to act as a leader when the time is right—and reap the rewards. Step Up is a guide to exercising leadership when it matters most, boosting your personal impact and effectiveness, and making a real difference.

Book Description
“I want you to take every step of your life with excitement for where you are headed. And I want you to feel beautiful and confident as you do.” But how? When the enemy whispers lies that you are not smart enough, pretty enough, or rich enough? Or you are too dumb, too loud, too quiet, too thin, too fat, too much or not enough? What if you don’t have what it takes to be who you really want to be? In Looking for Lovely, Annie F. Downs shares personal stories, biblical truth, and examples of how others have courageously walked the path God paved for their lives by remembering all God had done, loving what was right in front of them, and seeing God in the everyday—whether that be nature, friends, or the face they see in the mirror. Intensely personal, yet incredibly powerful, Looking for Lovely will spark transformative conversations and life changing patterns. No matter who we are and what path God has us on, we all need to look for lovely, fight to finish, and find beautiful in our every day!

Book Description
As a professional photographer and mother of three, Farrah Brannif knows what parents are looking for in the photographs they take. She also knows what stands in the way of obtaining those images. In Moments That Matter, she answers the questions parents ask most frequently about photographing their children and shares the techniques that will capture and share the unique story of their family life. Farrah recognizes that camera manuals are scary. Her accessible, step-by-step instructions follow the format of her popular workshops, include clear examples, and follow an intuitive progression. Here are simple, powerful tools that will transform the way parents imagine and take photographs. She covers both point-and-shoot and DSLR cameras and emphasizes that the equipment is not the secret to powerful photography. Each section includes practice instructions that will have readers producing the photographs of their dreams in no time.Introduction by Brene Brown, Author of New York Times #1 Bestseller Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead: I'm not very creative doesn't work. There's no such thing as creative people and non-creative people. There are only people who use their creativity and people who don't.The only unique contribution that we will ever make in this world will be born of our creativity.If we want to make meaning, we need to make art. If these findings didn't emerge from my own research, I wouldn't have believed them. I spent my entire adult life being too busy strong arming the to-do list for creativity, art, or crafts. So, when I found that creativity is key to wholehearted living, I was inspired to make a change. I wanted to become a photographer.There was only one problem. I'm forgot how to be new at something. I forgot about that awkward, uncomfortable process that defines the gap between wanting to take pictures like the ones I see in the magazines and having no idea how to use my camera or set up a shot.Then I met Farrah. My husband actually set me up with her on a friend date. He's her pediatrician and, truthfully, I think he thought we shared the same work/balance anxiety so he recommended we meet for lunch. When I told her about my new foray into photography she offered to take on the challenge of teaching a not-good-at-being-new, creativity-fearful, and want-everything-to-be-perfect budding photographer.Farrah changed my life. Not only is she a gifted artist, she has a long teaching history AND she's a trained counselor. She can nail every party of the technical challenges, teach in way that makes it crystal clear, and she can talk you through the frustration and vulnerability that is the joy (and struggle) of making art.I wanted to take pictures of my children, my extended family, and the ordinary moments of my everyday life. I showed her both my favorite pictures from magazines and the pictures that I had taken over the years. She taught me composition by pointing out the differences between the photos I loved and the ones didn't quite capture what I was trying to capture.She taught me about complicated issues like aperture and light by making me practice with my son's transformers and shooting thousands of pictures next to every window in my house (and I'm not exaggerating). One of my favorite teaching moments happened one day when I was trying my new macro lens and I couldn't get anything to work right. I called her and she said, Go into your front yard, get on our stomach, aim your camera at the caterpillar on the leaf, and turn on your camera. I said, Okay, I'll call you back and let you know how it goes. She said, Nope, you're taking me with you. I'm staying on the phone. I'll never forget army-crawling through my flowerbed with my phone in one hand and my camera in the other.Dive into this book. Start anywhere. Take thousands of shots. Screw most of them up. Then find that one. No one can walk you through it like Farrah. She has the photography, teaching, and hand-holding skills to help us capture the moments that matter.
