Your hard work is paying off. You are doing well in your field. But there is something standing between you and the next level of achievement. That something may just be one of your own annoying habits. Perhaps one small flaw - a behaviour you barely even recognise - is the only thing that's keeping you from where you want to be. It may be that the very characteristic that you believe got you where you are - like the drive to win at all costs - is what's holding you back. As this book explains, people often do well in spite of certain habits rather than because of them - and need a "to stop" list rather than one listing what "to do". Marshall Goldsmith's expertise is in helping global leaders overcome their unconscious annoying habits and become more successful. His one-on-one coaching comes with a six-figure price tag - but in this book you get his great advice for much less. Recently named as one of the world's five most-respected executive coaches by Forbes, he has worked with over 100 major CEOs and their management teams at the world's top businesses. His clients include corporations such as Goldman Sachs, Glaxo SmithKline, Johnson and Johnson and GE.

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The alternate history first contact adventure Axiom's End is an extraordinary debut from Hugo finalist and video essayist Lindsay Ellis. Truth is a human right. It’s fall 2007. A well-timed leak has revealed that the US government might have engaged in first contact. Cora Sabino is doing everything she can to avoid the whole mess, since the force driving the controversy is her whistleblower father. Even though Cora hasn’t spoken to him in years, his celebrity has caught the attention of the press, the Internet, the paparazzi, and the government—and with him in hiding, that attention is on her. She neither knows nor cares whether her father’s leaks are a hoax, and wants nothing to do with him—until she learns just how deeply entrenched her family is in the cover-up, and that an extraterrestrial presence has been on Earth for decades. Realizing the extent to which both she and the public have been lied to, she sets out to gather as much information as she can, and finds that the best way for her to uncover the truth is not as a whistleblower, but as an intermediary. The alien presence has been completely uncommunicative until she convinces one of them that she can act as their interpreter, becoming the first and only human vessel of communication. Their otherworldly connection will change everything she thought she knew about being human—and could unleash a force more sinister than she ever imagined.

A long time ago, someone coined the phrase, “Actions speak louder than words.” Indeed they do! And even though body language may often be pretty subtle, learning to read and interpret it can send you well on your way to understanding what’s behind a woman’s tilt of the head, raise of her eyebrow, folding of her arms, or the way she’s leaning or standing as you talk with her. It has been proven that those who succeed in life and in various endeavors are not only skilled in their various fields but also understand how people express themselves non-verbally, This fact that enables them to gain deep insight on what is "really" being communicated which ultimately gives them an upper hand. Body language plays a great part in our daily lives and is a determinant of whether one succeeds or fails in most of the activities that involve connecting and engaging with people. Mastering body language can grant one a great competitive edge and propel one as an authority with qualities that are worth emulating. Body language is an area that many people have ignored and can contribute to misunderstandings and misinterpretation of information being communicated. This book is fully packed with valuable information on what non-verbal communication is all about and how lack of knowledge on the subject may lead to not only loss of valuable information but may also contribute to some of the common failures we experience in relationships, business and life in general. What you’ll find in this awesome book: All about Alpha and Beta males How to become confident, and attract the ladies How to BADASS-IFY yourself! How to master the art of dominant body language
