Book Description
You were born a genius, but that seed was obstructed and malnourished while you struggled to grow in the jungle of life. Transcending these limitations to reclaim your destiny, happiness, success and fulfillment is what this groundbreaking book is all about. Everything in existence has a forward-pulling existential purpose that serves itself and indeed, the entire universe – a Purposehood. The Purposehood of everything is to evolve and expand exponentially in a powerful, symbiotic relationship. Moving against this force creates stress and tension; moving with it creates harmony and ease. Based on Ammar’s deep, personal exploration of science, philosophy, religion, mysticism and existence itself, Purposehood: Transform Your Life, Transform the World invites you to reflect on your own life’s purpose and how you can embrace it to create positive change and success. About the Author Ammar sought fulfillment at a young age through his devotion to exploring religions. He attended Christian schools in Syria and spent ten years with Sufi masters and religious scholars, studying, teaching, and subsequently serving as a cleric. Later in life his focus turned to entrepreneurship, where he pursued success by starting and seed-investing in over thirty businesses, four of which are led by members of YPO, a global leadership community of chief executives. Ammar’s startup spirit extended to volunteering in YPO, where he is a founding member of eleven chapters spanning four continents, positively impacting their communities. He also founded the YPO Change Makers Club where members and spouses share their expertise with the wider community. Ammar initially graduated with an engineering degree from the University of Central Florida, and later from Harvard Business School’s “The President's Program in Leadership.” After a near-death experience followed by an eleven-year deep dive into the meaning of life, today Ammar is focused exclusively on working with volunteers to spark a Purposehood movement dedicated to helping people transform their lives and the world by discovering and living their existential purpose.

Publisher: Baker Books
ISBN: 1585582638
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
Christians often say, "In Jesus' name" to close their prayers. But is this truly a desire of the heart or a perfunctory "Yours Truly" to God? Bryan Chapell says we should begin our prayers in Jesus' name-we should be Praying Backwards. In this practical and inspiring book, he shows readers that to truly pray in Jesus' name is to reorder one's priorities in prayer-and in life-away from oneself and towards Jesus and his kingdom. It is to pray believing in the power and the goodness of the One who hears, and thus to pray boldly, expectantly, and persistently. Readers seeking to transform their prayer lives will find wonderful direction in Praying Backwards.

The Self Illusion
Author: Bruce Hood
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199969892
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
Most of us believe that we are unique and coherent individuals, but are we? The idea of a "self" has existed ever since humans began to live in groups and become sociable. Those who embrace the self as an individual in the West, or a member of the group in the East, feel fulfilled and purposeful. This experience seems incredibly real but a wealth of recent scientific evidence reveals that this notion of the independent, coherent self is an illusion - it is not what it seems. Reality as we perceive it is not something that objectively exists, but something that our brains construct from moment to moment, interpreting, summarizing, and substituting information along the way. Like a science fiction movie, we are living in a matrix that is our mind. In The Self Illusion, Dr. Bruce Hood reveals how the self emerges during childhood and how the architecture of the developing brain enables us to become social animals dependent on each other. He explains that self is the product of our relationships and interactions with others, and it exists only in our brains. The author argues, however, that though the self is an illusion, it is one that humans cannot live without. But things are changing as our technology develops and shapes society. The social bonds and relationships that used to take time and effort to form are now undergoing a revolution as we start to put our self online. Social networking activities such as blogging, Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter threaten to change the way we behave. Social networking is fast becoming socialization on steroids. The speed and ease at which we can form alliances and relationships is outstripping the same selection processes that shaped our self prior to the internet era. This book ventures into unchartered territory to explain how the idea of the self will never be the same again in the online social world.

Risk Governance of Offshore Oil and Gas Operations
Author: Preben Hempel Lindøe
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107025540
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 457
Book Description
This book evaluates and compares risk regulation and safety management for offshore oil and gas operations in the United States, United Kingdom, Norway, and Australia. It provides an interdisciplinary approach with legal, technological, and sociological perspectives on their efforts to assess and prevent major accidents and improve safety performance offshore. Presented in three parts, the volume begins with a review of the technical, legal, behavioral, and sociological factors involved in designing, implementing, and enforcing a regulatory regime for industrial safety. It then evaluates the four regulatory regimes that encompass the cultural, legal, and other contextual factors that influence their design and implementation, along with their reliance on industrial expertise and standards and the use of performance indicators. The final section presents an assessment of the resilience of the Norwegian regime and its capacity to keep pace with new technologies and emerging risks, respond to near miss incidents, encourage safety culture, incorporate vested rights of labor, and perform inspection and self-audit functions. This book is highly relevant for those in government, business, academia, and elsewhere in civil society who are involved in offshore safety issues, including regulatory authorities and industrial safety professionals.
