Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
The MIRROR Challenge The dilemma that we all face is to ask ourselves where we are going in terms of our lives. One of my favourite words is 'Next!' What is next for me? For some readers who are in a bit of a rut, you could be wondering what's happening to me and/or why am I here? Have you been watching a 'movie' lately that seems to be stuck on the repeat button? Have you been caught in a maze and can't see your way out? It makes sense, every once in a while to step back from your day to day activities and ask yourself - Who I am? What am I doing? Where am I? Where am I going? Why am I here? How am I doing? What and where do I need to make changes? The MIRROR Challenge(TM) is aimed at challenging you to challenge yourself. Throughout the book there are a series of questions for you to think about and find answers. Each chapter of the book consists of a series of questions relating to each letter of the word 'MIRROR' - to get you to provocatively think about all aspects of your life. There are also a number of tried and tested MIRROR Challenge Exercises in each chapter as well as 'Have a Mirror Moment!' Exercise. These are for you to complete on your own initially and when you have finished, find a partner, colleague or friend and share the questions and answers with each other. The true purpose of the questions and the exercises is to help you get a fresh and new insight as well as a different perspective of who you are and 'unearth' the real picture/reflection of you. Be authentic. You need to be honest, truthful and frank with yourself, or you will end up as someone else and that's not who you want to be! The book is not about weight, height, dress size or body image, but it is about you looking in the mirror of life metaphorically and challenging yourself, your reflection, your thoughts, your thinking, your vision, your mind, your feelings, your senses - what you see, hear, feel? Most importantly, this book is about what action you need to take to change your current situation (if you don't like it) and taking it! This book examines and highlights what makes it possible for people to progress while others struggle to meet their aspirations. The MIRROR Challenge is not only a book you read, it's a resource, it has tips and techniques and is a toolkit for you to use. Use it to break new ground and create opportunities in your life. Use it to jump start a stalling career. Use the MIRROR Challenge to get to the real you! It is about reading or looking at something again, but with a fresh pair of eyes! It provides practical advice on moving on and getting ahead in life. This book provides opportunities for individuals to think, plan, do and review and take 'real' action regarding their future. It also aims to assist them in making informed choices and decisions and to take actions to develop themselves proactively. You may have heard of the bucket or mannequin challenge. Well long before these challenges was the MIRROR Challenge! Are you ready for the MIRROR Challenge? The more you look in the mirror, is the more you will find out about yourself and what changes you need to make to take you to the next level! So, here's to looking in the Mirror, taking action and making those life changes!

Dark Mirror
Author: Barton Gellman
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0698153391
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
From the three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author of the New York Times bestseller Angler, who unearthed the deepest secrets of Edward Snowden's NSA archive, the first master narrative of the surveillance state that emerged after 9/11 and why it matters, based on scores of hours of conversation with Snowden and groundbreaking reportage in Washington, London, Moscow and Silicon Valley Edward Snowden chose three journalists to tell the stories in his Top Secret trove of NSA documents: Barton Gellman of The Washington Post, Glenn Greenwald of The Guardian and filmmaker Laura Poitras, all of whom would share the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. Poitras went on to direct the Oscar-winning Citizen Four. Greenwald wrote an instant memoir and cast himself as a pugilist on Snowden's behalf. Barton Gellman took his own path. Snowden and his documents were the beginning, not the end, of a story he had prepared his whole life to tell. More than 20 years as a top investigative journalist armed him with deep sources in national security and high technology. New sources reached out from government and industry, making contact on the same kinds of secret, anonymous channels that Snowden used. Gellman's old reporting notes unlocked new puzzles in the NSA archive. Long days and evenings with Snowden in Moscow revealed a complex character who fit none of the stock images imposed on him by others. Gellman now brings his unique access and storytelling gifts to a true-life spy tale that touches us all. Snowden captured the public imagination but left millions of people unsure what to think. Who is the man, really? How did he beat the world's most advanced surveillance agency at its own game? Is government and corporate spying as bad as he says? Dark Mirror is the master narrative we have waited for, told with authority and an inside view of extraordinary events. Within it is a personal account of the obstacles facing the author, beginning with Gellman's discovery of his own name in the NSA document trove. Google notifies him that a foreign government is trying to compromise his account. A trusted technical adviser finds anomalies on his laptop. Sophisticated impostors approach Gellman with counterfeit documents, attempting to divert or discredit his work. Throughout Dark Mirror, the author describes an escalating battle against unknown digital adversaries, forcing him to mimic their tradecraft in self-defense. Written in the vivid scenes and insights that marked Gellman's bestselling Angler, Dark Mirror is an inside account of the surveillance-industrial revolution and its discontents, fighting back against state and corporate intrusions into our most private spheres. Along the way it tells the story of a government leak unrivaled in drama since All the President's Men.

Lies Men Believe

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
“If there ever was such a thing as a ‘shortcut’ to the wisdom of the ages, you’re holding it in your hands. This is the kind of wisdom that can only be earned over a lifetime of trial and error, trial and error, and, finally, trial and success.” -Patrick Morley Author, The Man in the Mirror “In 2001, I wrote a book called Lies Women Believe. Since then this message has reached millions of women and been translated into dozens of languages. But I’ve often been asked about a ‘male counterpart’ to the book. When God brought Robert into my life in 2015, I soon realized he was the ideal choice to pen this message for men. You’ll find that reading Lies Men Believe, with its warm, relatable style, is like having a conversation with a good friend. Be prepared, in the process, to grapple with some tough issues. And be prepared to experience the liberating power of the Truth—in your own life, and in the lives of those you influence.” -Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth Revive Our Hearts Teacher & Host; Lies Books Series Editor You are being hunted. Like a seasoned angler, our enemy opens his tackle box and selects the lure most likely to attract his intended prey—usually the one you and I are least likely to consider harmful. Each lie we bite on causes us to feel pain, lose or injure relationships, and miss out on the abundant life that God wants us to have. Lies Men Believe exposes the lies that men most commonly believe, and shows you how to combat those lies with the truth. Lies like: Pleasure and Entertainment Can Truly Satisfy Me If I Mean Well, That’s Good Enough If I Discipline My Children, They’ll Rebel. I’m Measured by How I Compare with Other Men. Find out how lies are holding you back from freedom, joy, and intimacy with God and others. Discover the power of the truth. Because once you fully embrace the truth, nothing is ever the same.
