The Power of Moments
Author: Chip Heath
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501147765
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
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.

Man of the People
Author: T. Spencer Adams
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1434345599
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 513
Book Description
Man of the People is an incredible novel by first time author, T. Spencer Adams. It is great reading and could be the text book for Political Science 101. After carefully developing the title character, Adams provides a simple insight into what has gone wrong with the U.S. political system, and what it will take to fix it. Adams weaves the lesson into a fascinating story about a retired everyman, J.T. Spencer, who is suddenly thrust into the national limelight of presidential politics. As the story unfolds, you find your self worrying not only about our hero, but the fate of our country as well. J.T. Spencer's presidential campaign was more than a political phenomenon. It was a clear indication of the level of social unrest that existed through out the entire country. But three truly unique circumstances had to come together at the same time to create the perfect political storm of social rebellion. The first was the public's pervasive lack of trust in the entire political system; a distrust that had been building since Watergate and had reached critical mass during the last two administrations. The second factor was one of simple technology. The spread of personal computers and the ever increasing number of people whose primary source of information was the internet, made possible a new type of grass roots campaign. The third and final factor was the intense media scrutiny focused on presidential candidates. Every aspect of the lives of public figures, especially those who would aspire to public office and political leadership, was fair game for the evening news.
