Book Description
Thoughts and Ideas is a book of poems and short essays where the author, P.J. Victor, decided to open up and share with us his beliefs. As the title indicates, they are his thoughts and ideas of the day when he wrote that particular piece. His inspirations were in fact personal things he saw happening in his life or around him. We never know when we shall be inspired. It may through a casual conversation with friends, overhearing someone else's conversation, a personal experience, or of someone close to you. At times it's just a word, a sentence or idea. For whatever reason it resonates with you, and you feel compelled to elaborate on the topic. What this canadian author shows us in his first book is that not all men are scared to show a sensitive side to themselves. Being very sentimental in some of his writings shows a vulnerability most men shy away from. Being in touch with his emotions is pretty clear in this book. From friends and relationships, P.J. Victor opens up to us on how he views things in his ideal world.

The Authentic Swing
Author: Steven Pressfield
Publisher: Black Irish Entertainment LLC
ISBN: 1936891077
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
The Story Behind THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE If you've read his books THE WAR OF ART and TURNING PRO, you know that for thirty years Steven Pressfield (GATES OF FIRE, THE AFGHAN CAMPAIGN etc.) wrote spec novel after spec novel before any publisher took him seriously. How did he finally break through? Ignoring just about every rule of commercial book publishing, Pressfield's "first" novel not only became a major bestseller (over 250,000 copies sold), it was adapted into a feature film directed by Robert Redford and starring Matt Damon, Will Smith, and Charlize Theron. Where did he get the idea? What magical something did THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE have that his previous manuscripts lacked? Why did Pressfield decide to write a novel when he already had a well established screenwriting career? How does writing a publishable novel really work? Taking a page from John Steinbeck's classic JOURNAL OF A NOVEL, Steven Pressfield offers answers for these and scores of other practical writing questions in THE AUTHENTIC SWING.

Made to Stick
Author: Chip Heath
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 1588365964
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The instant classic about why some ideas thrive, why others die, and how to make your ideas stick. “Anyone interested in influencing others—to buy, to vote, to learn, to diet, to give to charity or to start a revolution—can learn from this book.”—The Washington Post Mark Twain once observed, “A lie can get halfway around the world before the truth can even get its boots on.” His observation rings true: Urban legends, conspiracy theories, and bogus news stories circulate effortlessly. Meanwhile, people with important ideas—entrepreneurs, teachers, politicians, and journalists—struggle to make them “stick.” In Made to Stick, Chip and Dan Heath reveal the anatomy of ideas that stick and explain ways to make ideas stickier, such as applying the human scale principle, using the Velcro Theory of Memory, and creating curiosity gaps. Along the way, we discover that sticky messages of all kinds—from the infamous “kidney theft ring” hoax to a coach’s lessons on sportsmanship to a vision for a new product at Sony—draw their power from the same six traits. Made to Stick will transform the way you communicate. It’s a fast-paced tour of success stories (and failures): the Nobel Prize-winning scientist who drank a glass of bacteria to prove a point about stomach ulcers; the charities who make use of the Mother Teresa Effect; the elementary-school teacher whose simulation actually prevented racial prejudice. Provocative, eye-opening, and often surprisingly funny, Made to Stick shows us the vital principles of winning ideas—and tells us how we can apply these rules to making our own messages stick.
