Get Out of My Head: Creating Modern Clarity With Stoic Wisdom
by M. Andrew McConnellWALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BESTSELLER LOS ANGELES TIMES SOCAL INDIE BESTSELLER Are self-doubt and other negative feelings living rent free in your mind? If so, you&’re not alone. It&’s common, even for the most accomplished among us, to let people, circumstances, and worries take up valuable headspace. Get Out of My Head is a lifeline for overwhelmed professionals seeking direction and tranquility in turbulent times, whether navigating daily stressors or experiencing defining moments. Author M. Andrew McConnell, CEO of RENTED, INC., shows you it&’s possible to achieve clarity, make good decisions, and rise in your career, by illustrating that the human mind is not unlike real estate: adopting an owner&’s mindset can make all the difference. Drawing on ancient Stoic philosophy, modern science, and remarkable stories of contemporary innovators in business, sports, and more, Get Out of My Head demonstrates how to effectively allocate your mental resources, set mental boundaries, and overcome challenges by seizing ownership of your own mind and channeling adversity as a vehicle for growth. The ancient Stoics recognized that the mind is a human&’s most precious and finite resource—that it is the only thing of value anyone can truly possess. The Stoics also understood that the default human state is to waste our mind on trivial things. When we lend our mind to things that do not serve us, we are left with only remnants of our potential. Throughout this book, you&’ll find stories of high-achieving modern Stoics who have successfully reclaimed their headspace, as well as the tools you need to develop better resilience—a remedy to chronic stress—so that you, too, can transition from &“mind rentership&” to &“mind ownership.&”

Get Out of Your Head: Stopping the Spiral of Toxic Thoughts
by Jennie AllenThe visionary behind the million-strong IF:Gathering challenges Christian women to transform their outlook and their lives by interrupting their spiraling thoughts and realizing their God-given power to think differently. &“A must-have resource for anyone looking to get control of their thoughts.&”—Lysa TerKeurst, #1 New York Times best-selling author and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries Are your thoughts holding you captive? I&’ll never be good enough. Other people have better lives than I do. God couldn&’t really love me. Jennie Allen knows what it&’s like to swirl in a spiral of destructive thoughts, but she also knows we don&’t have to stay stuck in toxic thinking patterns. As she discovered in her own life, God built a way for us to escape that downward spiral. Freedom comes when we refuse to be victims to our thoughts and realize we have already been equipped with power from God to fight and win the war for our minds. In Get Out of Your Head, Jennie inspires and equips us to transform our emotions, our outlook, and even our circumstances by taking control of our thoughts. Our enemy is determined to get in our heads to make us feel helpless, overwhelmed, and incapable of making a difference for the kingdom of God.

Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life: The New Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
by Steven C. Hayes Spencer SmithGet ready to take a different perspective on your problems and your life--and the way you live it. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a new, scientifically based psychotherapy that takes a fresh look at why we suffer and even what it means to be mentally healthy. What if pain were a normal, unavoidable part of the human condition, but avoiding or trying to control painful experience were the cause of suffering and long-term problems that can devastate your quality of life? The ACT process hinges on this distinction between pain and suffering. As you work through this book, you'll learn to let go of your struggle against pain, assess your values, and then commit to acting in ways that further those values. ACT is not about fighting your pain; it's about developing a willingness to embrace every experience life has to offer. It's not about resisting your emotions; it's about feeling them completely and yet not turning your choices over to them. ACT offers you a path out of suffering by helping you choose to live your life based on what matters to you most. If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or problem anger, this book can help--clinical trials suggest that ACT is very effective for a whole range of psychological problems.

Get Out of Your Own Way: A Skeptic’s Guide to Growth and Fulfillment
by Dave HollisDave Hollis used to think that &“personal growth&” was just for broken people.

Get Out of Your Own Way: How to manage the most powerful person in your life – yourself
by Alan HesterAlan Hester's insightful statement will ring bells with many people. So many of us will regularly and repeatedly stop ourselves from doing what we most want to do. We will get in our own way. We may compare ourselves with more successful people and look for unfair advantages that they have and we don't. We may bemoan our luck or be plagued by any number of common conditions, such as starting something and not finishing it, making bad decisions or no decision at all. We may lack self-belief and think we don't deserve success, that we may be ridiculed or judged, that there is no point in even trying, or feel uncomfortable trying. These are just a few of the ways in which, through fear, ego and lack of confidence, we get in our own way. The author's argument is that although we may not be able to control certain events in our life, we can control our response to those events, and thereby decide the outcome. He has written this book so we can learn how to get out of our own way and become our own best adviser, motivator and friend.

Get Out of Your Own Way: The 5 Keys to Surpassing Everyone's Expectations
by Robert K. CooperBreak through your self-imposed limitations by learning how your own brain can be your biggest obstacle--or your greatest ally. You'd expect your brain to be an always-reliable ally in your quest for a successful, satisfying life, but surprisingly the opposite is usually true. That's because your brain is pretty much the same model your ancestors were using thousands of years ago when mere survival was everyone's primary goal. It tells you now what it told them then: Play it safe. Avoid risk. Evade confrontation. Don't venture outside the territory you already know. And never break the habits that have gotten you this far.Coming at just the right time to help you deal with the growing demands of our pressure-packed, fast-changing world, Robert Cooper's Get Out of Your Own Way helps you understand what's going on in that head of yours. Once you know what really drives you, you can switch off the counterproductive parts of your brain, engage the helpful parts, and set out on the path to accomplishing what everyone else thinks you can't. Based on more than two decades of worldwide research, Get Out of Your Own Way shows you the five keys for making the choices that let you engage and triumph over the realities of today's world:* Direction, not motion* Focus, not time* Capacity, not conformity* Energy, not effort* Impact, not intentions. Filled with wonderful stories--about everything from the note written by one of the author's ancestors upon leaving Dublin for America in 1829 ("On the horizon is where hope lives ... I am going there") to the unlikely exploits of the world record-setting Jamaican bobsled team--this groundbreaking book confirms that the next frontier is not only ahead of you, it's inside of you ... and what everyone else thinks is impossible isn't.
