Make It Happen: The Hip-Hop Generation Guide to Success
by Kevin Liles Samantha MarshallKevin Liles rose from intern to president of Def Jam Records in only nine years. Today, at age thirty-seven, he is executive vice president of the Warner Music Group and has helped discover and direct the careers of stars such as Jay-Z and Ludacris. Liles' meteoric climb from urban street kid with hip-hop aspirations to one of the most successful and influential executives in the music industry is far more than a rags-to-riches story. It is a tribute to Liles' incredible work ethic, wisdom and confidence in doing his thing his way -- the hip-hop way. "Every real success story in hip hop comes down to the same thing: someone who finds the will, focus and drive to achieve," Liles writes in Make It Happen: The Hip-Hop Generation Guide to Success. "It doesn't matter if you are male or female. It doesn't matter what race or religion you are. It doesn't matter what hustle you choose." What does matter, Liles says, is that you fight against the odds to realize a dream and be the best that you can be. You empower yourself and make it happen. Kevin Liles presents ten rules of business success, which range from "Find Your Will" and "The Blueprint" to "Don't Let Cash Rule" and "Play Your Position." As he outlines his philosophy, Liles shares how he put his principles to work, chronicling his journey to the top and the stories of others -- executives, artists, mentors and friends -- he has worked with along the way. Make It Happen is both an American success story and a guidebook for the road to having a career and a life you love.

How to Think Like Muhammad Ali: The Paradox of Greatness and the Power of Mental Toughness
by Kevin MitchellA biography of the boxing legend reveals how strategies Ali used for his successful sports career may be applied to business or personal endeavors. Muhammad Ali is the most famous boxer in the history of the sport. Three-time World Champion and the thorn in the side of Vietnam-era America, he became a moral beacon at a time when America was on its knees.But, for all his pronouncements, Ali rarely revealed the psychological training that went into his preparations before the fights. For the first time, Kevin Mitchell, one of the pre-eminent boxing writers of his generation, will get behind the public persona to reveal the psychological advantage that Ali was able to take to the ring. Mitchell demonstrates how the mental preparation Ali put into winning the heavyweight title three times are essential skills that can be applied to any walk of professional life.From the classic tactic of the rope-a-dope that Ali applied to the infamous “Rumble in the Jungle” against the favorite George Foreman, to the visualization techniques Ali applied to every fight—by having the Round number he was going to knock his opponent out in written on his taped hands—Mitchell reveals how Ali can teach something to us all and how his lessons can be applied to business and personal life equally.
Anxiety, It's Time to Go
by Kevin MullinAnxiety, It's Time to Go is not just another self-help book. It is 'the' self-help book. It uses cutting-edge tried and tested methods that have been used time and time again to remove anxiety from people each and every day. Anxiety, It's Time to Go will explain everything in simple terms and then show you exactly how to combat the things that hurt and control us when it comes to anxiety. The easy-to-follow exercise and instructions have been made straightforward without all the psychobabble that most people use. We say it as it is and then show you exactly how to remove it. This might just be the best thing you have done when it comes to beating crippling anxiety once and for all. Review: I was given the book to read and I loved it. It was one of those books that I did not want to put down but equally did not want to finish, as I was enjoying it too much (like saving a new dress 'for best'). It was all so simple, it made sense and it worked!!! Now, I am not going to elaborate more, because I am now too busy living anxiety-free! Too busy enjoying life. Planning life. Too happy to even think about the old me who wasted so much time feeling anxious, stressed, miserable, not wanting to be here. So, read it for yourself.

Unlikely
by Kevin PalauA beautiful and surprisingly inspirational story about the unique partnership between a group of churches and the mayor of Portland, who came together to positively impact their city and encourage others to do the same.Our dream is to help change the mindset of the city about the church, and the mindset of the church about the city. Portland is among the most unchurched and politically progressive cities in the nation. With its unique edge--from a popular television show dedicated to its eccentricity to hosting the country's largest naked bike ride--you wouldn't expect Portland to be home to one of the most successful partnerships between local government and area churches. But it is. In 2007, Kevin Palau and a few dozen pastors approached Portland's mayor and posed the question: How can we serve you with no strings attached? Officials identified five initial areas of need--hunger, homelessness, healthcare, the environment, and public schools--and so began a partnership, CityServe, between the city and a band of churches seeking to live out the gospel message. Since then, the CityServe model has spread like wildfire, inspiring communities across the country to take up the cause in their own cities. Unlikely not only tells the story of the inception of CityServe, but also challenges readers to evaluate their understanding of the gospel. Today's church finds itself torn between social justice and direct proclamation. Unlikely proposes a both/and scenario, showing how the gospel can truly penetrate a region--through word and deed. CityServe is proof that when differences can be put aside for a worthy cause, real change can be attained, and unlikely beauty is born.
