Were you ever advised to "just relax" before making a big speech? Don’t. From Texas A&M professor and celebrity advisor, Dr. John Eliot, this insightful guide takes a sledgehammer to what most of us think we know about doing our best. Eliot explains how mainstream psychology moves us in the wrong direction when it comes to stress management and performance enhancement; techniques like visualization and goal setting, based on pseudoscience rather than empirical evidence, often get in our way rather than propel us forward. Drawing on field-tested experiments and extensive research in neuropsychology, Eliot shares why these “common sense” strategies tend to come up short for the majority of people—and how, instead, great accomplishments are more likely to result from "Putting All Your Eggs in One Basket", "Thinking Like a Squirrel", and "Embracing Butterflies As a Good Thing". These counterintuitive practices not only trigger your full natural talent, but also teach you how to thrive under pressure, not dread it. OVERACHIEVEMENT incorporates Eliot’s work with Fortune 500 companies, Olympic athletes, renowned surgeons, military pilots, and Grammy-winning musicians, providing you with a powerful combination of inspiring stories and life-changing tools, offering the skills needed to overcome stress and rise above your peers in the boardroom, on the playing field, or in the normal day-to-day of life.

Crazy Enough To Try is a book written for those of us looking to incorporate our passions into our lives. Whether we find passion in our careers, our hobbies, our religion, or elsewhere, we're looking for something that calls to us, pulls us out of bed in the morning, and gets us excited for the day ahead. Discussions around passion are often filled with platitudes and quick one-liners like, "Follow your passion and you'll never work a day in your life," or advice like "Give up on your crazy dreams and find a real job." That's not this book. This book is about learning what passion really means to you, and how to realistically apply your passions in a way that works for you. In this second edition, Crazy Enough To Try goes even further than the original, adding an additional four interviews for a total of ten full-length interviews with extremely passionate people to answer four key questions: 1. What is passion to you? 2. What are you passionate about? 3. How did you get to where you are in your journey? 4. How could someone else figure out his or her own passions? These thought-provoking conversations are retold, each with radically different paths, each with ideas on what passion is, and how each person is incorporating passion into their life. From a twenty-something world traveler to a middle-aged executive, Crazy Enough To Try is filled with successes and failures from all walks of life. What readers are saying: "A must read if you are confused about what you want to do in life, or if you know what you want to do but are confused about how to proceed about it. You will not be disappointed." - Avery "I loved reading about people's journeys through life. It's always good to know you are not the only one searching." - Hershelle "Crazy Enough To Try won't solve all your life problems, but it will equip you with the tools to really find your passion and incorporate that passion into your life. This book really helped to give me a better sense of what I want to do with my life." - Rick Read Crazy Enough To Try to learn how those that are living a life of passion transformed themselves and how you can apply these strategies to your own life right now.

Over the past seven years I've lived in more places than I can remember. I lived and worked in Shanghai, New York, Berlin, Bangkok, Munich and a few more places, not including the dozens of places I've stayed at for just a few days or weeks.While writing these lines I'm in a small town in Malaysia.I've basically lived out of a backpack for the past seven years. And the longer I'm doing this, the less stuff I need. Right now I carry less than 10 items around with me in a carry on backpack that weighs less than 10kg. I go wherever I want to go. I currently spend less than $800 a month. Including everything. My most precious possession is a $300 Acer laptop.I've started a clothing company in China, for the Chinese market, which failed miserably. I've launched more than 10 websites, some of them made some money, some of them didn't. I shut down all of them. I've written seven books (this is my eighth). None of them was a bestseller. I write a blog where I published more than 500 articles so far. I've more than 100,000 monthly readers spread across multiple platforms.I'm by no means successful. Or rich. But I have more than enough, by all means. I have access to everything I need. And I can buy and afford everything I need.I'm not a minimalist. Or a digital nomad. Or an entrepreneur. Or a blogger. Or an author.I'm mostly trying to just be myself. I'm trying to be myself in a world where it gets harder and harder every single day to just be yourself.It's not always been easy. As a matter of fact it's probably been hard more often than it's been easy. But every day of struggle and doubt has been worth it. Being yourself and creating your own life instead of just living a life is always worth the struggle.This right here is my story. This is what I've learned about life, myself and the world around me.I'm everywhere and nowhere. And I own nothing and everything...
