by Sam Conniff AllendePirates didn’t just break the rules, they rewrote them. They didn’t just reject society, they reinvented it.

Be More: Find Your Truth. Tell Your Story. And Get What You Want Out Of Life
by Sam Kass Todd Putman Lori SpargerBE MORE: Find Your Truth, Tell Your Story, and Get What You Want Out of Life by Todd Putman offers a straightforward, ten-point exercise aimed at getting people started and helping them answer that simple question in a way that illuminates their strengths and what matters most in their lives. It is an inspiring guide that puts people on the path to a more fulfilled, meaningful, and happier career and life. As Putman attests, too many people fail to fulfill their potential not from a lack of ability, means, or opportunity, but because so very few purposefully pursue it. Some of the most capable people suffer from a lack of understanding of their own capability, a failure of vision, or don't leverage their talents to move themselves forward. The result is a colossal waste of potential--potential for good, for innovation, for change, for value creation, for simple happiness. With an engaging and accessible voice, BE MORE portrays the breadth of opportunity available to those who pursue life with purpose.

Be Nobody
by Lama MarutThis follow-up to A Spiritual Renegade's Guide to the Good Life calls for the biggest revolution of all: the overthrow of our obsessive quest to be somebody.Like boardwalk tourists poking their faces through two-dimensional cutouts of the muscle man and bathing beauty, we are all desperately trying to be somebody, to be "special." No one wants to be a loser, a small fry, a big zero. But maybe we've got it all wrong. With an edgy tone and radical perspective, Lama Marut shows that the quest to distinguish ourselves is the true cause of our dissatisfaction, and it continually leaves us feeling isolated and alone. Drawing from the spiritual truism that only by losing the self can we discover our real potential, Be Nobody provides guidance, actions, and simple meditations to help you lay down the heavy burden of trying to be somebody--without requiring you to live in a monastery or retire to a cave in the Himalayas. When we vacate ourselves, we will finally have the freedom to find true fulfillment. So stop narrating your life and start living it. Be nobody.

Be Obsessed or Be Average
by Grant CardoneFrom the millionaire entrepreneur and New York Times bestselling author of The 10X Rule comes a bold and contrarian wake-up call for anyone truly ready for success. Before Grant Cardone built five successful companies (and counting), became a multimillionaire, and wrote bestselling books...he was broke, jobless, and drug-addicted. Grant had grown up with big dreams but friends and family told him to be more reasonable and less demanding. If he played by the rules, they said, he could enjoy everyone else's version of middle class success. But when he tried it their way, he hit rock bottom. Then he tried the opposite approach. He said NO to the haters and naysayers and said YES to his burning, outrageous, animal obsession. He reclaimed his obsession with wanting to be a business rock star, a huge philanthropist, live in a mansion, even own an airplane. Obsession made all of his wildest dreams come true. And it can help you achieve massive success too. As Grant says, we're in the middle of an epidemic of average. The conventional wisdom is to achieve balance and take it easy. But this has really just given us an excuse to be unexceptional. If you want real success, you have to be obsessed and know how to harness that power to rocket to the top. This book will give you the inspiration and tools to break out of your cocoon of mediocrity and achieve your craziest dreams. Grant will teach you how to: · set crazy goals--and reach them, every single day · feed the beast: when you value money and spend it on the right things, you get more of it · shut down the doubters--and use your haters as fuel You can be obsessed...or you can be average. It's your choice. Why not start going full-throttle towards your obsession today?From the Hardcover edition.
