No, that diminutive but independent vocable, begins its great role early in human life and never loses it. For not only can it head a negative sentence, announcing its judgement, or answer a question, implying its negated content, it can, and mostly does, in the beginning of speech, express an assertion of the resistant will--sometimes just that and nothing more. The adult antiphony to the toddler's incessant no is another no, that of preventive command, and the great commandments of later life continue to be prohibitions: Nine of the Ten Commandments are in the negative. Eva Brann explores nothingness in the third book of her trilogy, which has treated imagination, time and now naysaying. If we want to understand something of imagination, memory and time, she argues, we must mount an inquiry into what it means to say something is not what it claims to be or is not there or is nonexistent or is affected by Nonbeing.

Hilda must be stopped. We overthink things. We procrastinate. We hold ourselves to impossibly high standards. We fail to make time for what's most important to us. We doubt ourselves. We're afraid of saying no. We never let ourselves cross the finish line. Sometimes we don't even let ourselves cross the starting line. We all have the little voice in the back of our minds reminding us of the risks, the past failures, the potential humiliation, and the loads of fear that come along with chasing our biggest dreams. That little voice is Hilda, your personal inner saboteur. Hilda stops us in our tracks, stomps on our dreams, and keeps us from pursuing what we want in life. And the higher the stakes, the louder she gets! Clearly, Hilda must be stopped. That's where this book comes in. Because even the most ambitious and badass humans can get in their own way and hold themselves back thanks to Hilda and her self-sabotage. Enough already! An amusing yet actionable self-help book, Hilda explores the ways your inner saboteur operates while providing powerful tactics for silencing the noise, getting out of your own way, and realizing your true potential. Drawing from Jennie Mustafa-Julock's expertise in organizational development and ten years as The Audacity Coach, this book will help you become keenly aware of your self-sabotaging ways and arm you with powerful counteractions to get you unstuck and make you unstoppable.

The Sith in the real world is a philosophy of discipline and mental training, empowering us to achieve the possible. It’s a philosophy that is enamoured with strength and power, the individuals that wish to be a compelling leader and thought leader for the world, to seek the self-liberation and opportunities that are offered us, empowering us to pursue our purpose and seize opportunities for self-development, growth, and transformation. Victory is what we aim for, overcome the things that hold back growth, we seek a memetic and philosophical answer to the modern distortions of what suits us all. A people have been tainted by the outgrowth of modern government and status quo influence, unwilling or unable to move beyond the confines by fears, doubts, and complacency, all forms of stagnation that oppose the will – the world has confined everything into self-limitation and hindrance that prevent people from being at one with their true nature, we wish to embrace our instincts and emotions, fuel our passion, and acquire strength, power and victory to break the chains.

When breakdowns occur in organizational life, the tendency is to blame them on the personalities, motivations, and abilities of the individuals involved or on the specific characteristics of one’s organization. Barry Oshry demonstrates how everyday breakdowns stem from our failure to see how human systems shape our feelings about ourselves and our relationships with other individuals and groups. He shows how we can transform “system blindness” into system sight, enabling us to live and work together in productive partnership. Based on Oshry’s 30+ years of studying human interaction in social system life, Seeing Systems is profound in its implications while being easily accessible. In addition to illustrative cases and solid systems theory, the book is populated with pinballs; talking body parts; mysterious “swimmers”; amebocytes, slugs, and earthworms; dances of blind reflex; and tunnels of limited options. The result is a unique foundation for revolutionizing our understanding of system life. This new edition is revised throughout and features an extensive new section on having the wisdom and courage to face and work with the reality of uncertainty, a hopeful antidote to today’s righteous battles of certainty versus certainty. The new epilogue describes how Oshry is currently using theater, blogs, and podcasts to extend his multipronged revolution aimed at transforming system blindness into system sight.
