Futureville: Discover Your Purpose for Today by Reimagining Tomorrow
by Skye JethaniWant to see the future? It is brighter than you think.What we believe about tomorrow determines how we live today. As Christians debate how to faithfully engage with our rapidly changing world, our vision of the future has never been more important.But rather than providing a clear sense of purpose for our lives, popular Christian ideas about the future steal it from us by saying our work in the world, apart from ministry, has no eternal value. Is it any wonder why young adults are less interested in church, or why a culture desperate for meaning and hope dismisses our message? In Futureville, Skye Jethani offers us a vision-shifting glimpse of the world of tomorrow described in Scripture. He reveals how a biblical vision of the future can transform every person’s work with a sense of purpose and dignity today.Futureville is a smart, inspiring call to cultivate the order, beauty, and abundance that reflects the heart and vision of God for our world.

Ge Inspiration Till Din Dag
by Ann Kapborg Ulrike MariaCitat och frågor. En särskild tanke för varje dag, av den inspirerande metafysikläraren ULRIKE. Att Leva bättre med ett riktigt tankesätt, för alla som söker.Det finns tusentals affirmationer på Internet numera, de ljuder av sanning och godhet och är absolut ett steg i rätt riktning. De betyder dock inte något om du bara läser dem och inte aktivt tillämpar dem. Ditt liv kommer inte att förändras såvida du inte använder dessa nya och förbättrade tankar varje dag. Att lära om att leva ett bättre liv är om tillämpning och inte om anförande av sanning. Oavsett hur ofta du upprepar affirmationerna kommer de inte att manifesteras om du inte agerar utifrån dem.Trovärdighet och Förståelse kommer från erfarenhet och från att ha bevisat för oss själva att Lagarna fungerar och hur de fungerar. Det krävs engagemang för att finna Sanningen. "Sök och ni skall finna" - "knacka på och dörren ska öppnas"...ja, det kräver en stark längtan efter att förstå Livets arbete och det krävs kärlek till att lära och lära ut samt nyfikenhet.Vi är alla elever och lärare. Vi lär av varandra. Vi ser i den andre vad vi beundrar eller vad vi föraktar, beroende på vad vi ännu behöver lära oss. Det är nödvändigt att känna till denna sanning och att använda detta värdefulla verktyg för självförbättring.Kom ihåg:"Låt din stjärna lysa klart! Släpp taget om alla begränsningar, tvivel och rädslor. Träd in i en värld där allt är möjligt. Det här är ditt sanna tillstånd, ditt spirituella arv. Omfamna denna födslorätt och älska med hela ditt hjärta."

Genes and the Motivation to Use Substances
by Scott F. StoltenbergHuman beings have been using intoxicating substances for millennia. But while most people have used psychoactive substances without becoming dependent on them, a significant minority develop substance use disorders. The question remains: why does addiction occur in some and not others? The 61st installment of the Nebraska Symposium on Motivation, Genes and the Motivation to Use Substances probes the complex role of genetics in substance use and abuse across diverse methodologies, research organisms, levels of analysis and disciplines. Its combined lifespan/motivation approach to individual differences sheds necessary light on genetic vs. environmental factors in vulnerability, addiction risk, the relationship between behavioral disinhibition and substance use and the motivation to quit. While alcohol use/abuse is the focus of much of the book, its chapters provide scientific and clinical insights into substance abuse in general as well as implications for treatment. And an intriguing conclusion discusses the need to bridge the gap between genetics and neuroscience and the best scientific conditions in which this integration may thrive. Included in the coverage: * Rodent models of genetic contributions to the motivation to use alcohol. * The adolescent origins of substance abuse disorders * The developmental matrix of addictive behavior * The genetics of cannabis involvement * The DNA methylation signature of smoking * Genomics of impulsivity: integrating genetics and neuroscience. Reflecting the current state of knowledge in a field with groundbreaking potential, Genes and the Motivation to Use Substances is a fascinating resource for psychologists, psychiatrists, geneticists, neuroscientists, social workers, policymakers and researchers in addiction.

Get It Done
by Sam Bennett"Organized" and "artist" don't usually go together. Creative types are more often seen as sensitive, melodramatic, eccentric, misunderstood, and the like. To those who have been labeled in this way, Sam Bennett says, "Congratulations! You're an artist." And through the Organized Artist Company, she has coached hundreds of artists to overcome procrastination, lack of focus, and time-sucking habits so that they can get their art done and out into the world. Bennett explains why "procrastination is genius in disguise" and then prescribes dozens of wonderfully revelatory exercises -- such as making a "My Heroes" list and "could-do" lists (because Bennett finds to-do lists too dictatorial) -- each of which requires only a fifteen-minute commitment. She gives readers practical, real-world tips, such as how to recognize who they should not talk to about their projects and when research has created Analysis Paralysis. Each of the tools she offers shifts the reader's thinking and prompts the kind of insights that have the power to turn underperforming geniuses into accomplished artists.

Getting a Ph.D. in Economics
by Stuart J. HillmonConsidering a graduate degree in economics? Good choice: the twenty-first-century financial crisis and recession have underscored the relevance of experts who know how the economy works, should work, and could work.

With the perspective of a veteran, Stuart J. Hillmon walks the reader though the entire experience--from the Ph.D. admissions process to arduous first-year coursework and qualifying exams to armoring up for the volatile job market. Hillmon identifies the pitfalls at each stage and offers no-holds-barred advice on how to navigate them.

The Gift of Maybe
by Allison CarmenMaybe: A simple yet powerful mindset for coping with stress and worry Allison Carmen spent many years fighting a powerful addiction. It wasn't drugs, alcohol or fame. It was an addiction to certainty. If she didn't know what the future would bring - and who does? - she felt anxious and afraid. This decades-long struggle followed her through college, marriage, parenthood, and a successful law career. While everything seemed fine from the outside, Allison was in a constant battle that was unwinnable, sapping her energy, attention, and spirit. Until the day she discovered The Gift of Maybe. Maybe is a simple yet powerful philosophy that has transformed Allison's life, and the life of her many clients (now that she has ditched her legal career and has become a successful life coach). The message is this: In the face of uncertainty, Maybe opens your mind and heart. It creates a little space for hope. It allows you to take a deep breath, stay in the present, and forge your own path. Many things in life are beyond our control, but the mindset of Maybe presents a simple, powerful way to stay connected to what's possible, and work to make it happen. It is just one change of perspective, but Maybe it changes everything!
