The Joy Factor
Author: Susan Smith Jones
Publisher: Mango Media
ISBN: 1609252942
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
The renowned wellness author shares “all of the essential ingredients to live our very best lives—physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually” (Victoria Moran, author of Creating a Charmed Life). A pioneer of the mind-body-spirit approach to wellness, Susan Smith Jones shares ten simple practices that will keep you looking and feeling healthy, vibrant, and youthful. These include cultivating kindness and gratitude; staying adventurous and childlike; finding physical activities you love; eating natural foods; practicing prayer and affirmations; and many others. In The Joy Factor, Susan explains that wellness isn’t just about what we do for ourselves. It’s also about the things we do in the world that make us feel most alive. As Wayne W. Dyer explains in his foreword, “The Joy Factor can help you forget about synthetic happiness, artificial health, and phony fulfillment and replace them with a genuine, life-changing formula that will help you not only feel better but also grow and flourish.”

In the tradition of the bestselling book The One Minute Manager, authors Ken Blanchard and S. Truett Cathy, entrepreneur and founder of Chick-fil-A restaurants, present The Generosity Factor--a parable that demonstrates the virtues of generosity.

Category : Bible
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
"Based on Jesus's Parable of the Talents, The Courage Factor challenges readers to think of their lives as a priceless commodity that can be leveraged for positive impact. In reflecting on the ups and downs of his own journey, Bob exposes the fear that keeps us isolated, causing us to lock up our gifts and dreams. Instead of having a positive impact on the world with our talents, we are left frustrated and unfulfilled. But if we have the courage to pursue our dreams-investing our lives and talents into something meaningful-what results is true joy and fulfillment. Throughout The Courage Factor, readers will meet inspiring individuals with stories that illustrate how even our dark moments and detours can prepare us for significance if we embrace courage and step forward in faith. Discover the potential we each have to unlock and accelerate the dreams and talents of those around us. In key moments of decision, pivotal moments where fear and courage do battle, learn to recognize these moments for what they are, defeat fear, and turn risk into reward. Courageous and fully invested people can change the world, and you can be one of them"--

The Joys of Haar Measure
Author: Joe Diestel
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 1470409356
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
From the earliest days of measure theory, invariant measures have held the interests of geometers and analysts alike, with the Haar measure playing an especially delightful role. The aim of this book is to present invariant measures on topological groups, progressing from special cases to the more general. Presenting existence proofs in special cases, such as compact metrizable groups, highlights how the added assumptions give insight into just what the Haar measure is like; tools from different aspects of analysis and/or combinatorics demonstrate the diverse views afforded the subject. After presenting the compact case, applications indicate how these tools can find use. The generalisation to locally compact groups is then presented and applied to show relations between metric and measure theoretic invariance. Steinlage's approach to the general problem of homogeneous action in the locally compact setting shows how Banach's approach and that of Cartan and Weil can be unified with good effect. Finally, the situation of a nonlocally compact Polish group is discussed briefly with the surprisingly unsettling consequences indicated. The book is accessible to graduate and advanced undergraduate students who have been exposed to a basic course in real variables, although the authors do review the development of the Lebesgue measure. It will be a stimulating reference for students and professors who use the Haar measure in their studies and research.
