When Jason Hanson joined the CIA in 2003, he never imagined that the same tactics he used as a CIA officer for counter intelligence, surveillance, and protecting agency personnel would prove to be essential in every day civilian life.

In addition to escaping handcuffs, picking locks, and spotting when someone is telling a lie, he can improvise a self-defense weapon, pack a perfect emergency kit, and disappear off the grid if necessary. He has also honed his “positive awareness”—a heightened sense of his surroundings that allows him to spot suspicious and potentially dangerous behavior—on the street, in a taxi, at the airport, when dining out, or in any other situation.

In his engaging and empowering bookSpy Secrets That Can Save Your Life, Jason shares this know-how with readers, revealing how to:


•prevent home invasions, carjackings, muggings, and other violent crimes
•run counter-surveillance and avoid becoming a soft target
•recognize common scams at home and abroad
•become a human lie detector in any setting, including business negotiations
•gain peace of mind by being prepared for anything instead of uninformed or afraid

With the skill of a trained operative and the relatability of a suburban dad, Jason Hanson brings his top-level training to everyday Americans in this must-have guide to staying safe in an increasingly dangerous world.]]> 274 Jason Hanson 1101992638 Charlton 0 currently-reading 3.66 2015 Spy Secrets That Can Save Your Life Deluxe: A Former CIA Officer Reveals Safety and Survival Techniques to Keep You and YourFamily Protected

DIET and EXERCISE.

All of us WANT to achieve optimum wellness, but not all of us know how.

There are some basic levers that drive health in one of two directions: towards perfection, or towards chronic degenerative disease.

If you understand the principles that govern your physiology, you can achieve complete mastery over your own body composition and become the best possible version of yourself.

The P:E Diet is the SIMPLEST and MOST PRACTICAL diet and exercise book ever written. Once you understand the core tenets of your biology, you will know HOW to increase your lean mass while decreasing your fat mass—and you will know WHY it works.

The P:E Diet breaks down every single dietary strategy into one incredibly simple metric:

PROTEIN versus ENERGY.

The protein to energy ratio explains EVERY SINGLE DIET PHENOMENON. The P:E Diet breaks down the cause of the obesity epidemic and the solution using this one powerful weapon. This is not ‘paleo� or ‘keto� or ‘low carb� or ‘low fat� or ‘plants versus animals� or ‘calorie counting’—instead this is one MASTER CONCEPT that explains the success of EVERY SINGLE DIETARY STRATEGY out there. This book completely TRANSCENDS ALL OF THE DIET CAMPS and explains why they ALL offer some value—and once you understand this underlying principle, you unlock EVERY DIET.

The P:E Diet explains EXACTLY why FOOD CHOICE is everything � once you choose WHAT to eat, your body will tell you HOW MUCH to eat. This approach teaches you how to eat INTUITIVELY to achieve your goals, without unnecessary tracking or micromanaging quantity.�

The exercise portion of this book is just as revelatory: all you need for the optimum adaptive response to exercise is to generate MAXIMUM TENSION in your muscles for the MAXIMUM TIME possible. All exercise can be broken down into three exercise motions: PUSH, PULL, and LEGS. This requires NO EQUIPMENT WHATSOEVER and can be accomplished with bodyweight only. By maximizing INTENSITY and FREQUENCY you can build muscle with absolute MINIMUM TIME.

Packed with hundreds of photos and illustrations, The P:E Diet is a life-changing knowledge bomb that absolutely anyone and everyone should read.

Eat low-fat and high-carb, including plenty of "healthy" whole grains—does that sound familiar? Perhaps this is what you were told at your last doctor's appointment or visit with a nutritionist, or perhaps it is something you read online when searching for a healthy diet. And perhaps you've been misled. Dr. Ken Berry is here to dispel the myths and misinformation that have been perpetuated by the medical and food industries for decades.

This updated and expanded edition of Dr. Berry's bestseller Lies My Doctor Told Me exposes the truth behind all kinds of "lies" told by well-meaning but misinformed medical practitioners. Nutritional therapy is often overlooked in medical school, and the information provided to physicians is often outdated. However, the negative consequences on your health remain the same. Advice to avoid healthy fats and stay out of the sun has been proven to be detrimental to longevity and wreak havoc on your system. In this book, Dr. Berry will enlighten you about nutrition and life choices, their role in our health, and how to begin an educated conversation with your doctor about finding the right path for you.

This book will teach you:

-how doctors are taught to think about nutrition and other preventative health measures, and how they should be thinking
-how the Food Pyramid and MyPlate came into existence and why they should change
-the facts about fat intake and heart health
-the truth about the effects of whole wheat on the human body
-the role of dairy in your diet
-the truth about salt—friend or foe?
-the dangers and benefits of hormone therapy
-new information about inflammation and how it should be viewed by doctors

Come out of the darkness and let Ken Berry be your guide to optimal health and harmony!

]]> <![CDATA[Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know About the People We Don't Know]]> 43848929 Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Revisionist History and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Outliers, offers a powerful examination of our interactions with strangers -- and why they often go wrong.

How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to each other that isn't true?

While tackling these questions, Malcolm Gladwell was not solely writing a book for the page. He was also producing for the ear. In the audiobook version of Talking to Strangers, you'll hear the voices of people he interviewed--scientists, criminologists, military psychologists. Court transcripts are brought to life with re-enactments. You actually hear the contentious arrest of Sandra Bland by the side of the road in Texas. As Gladwell revisits the deceptions of Bernie Madoff, the trial of Amanda Knox, and the suicide of Sylvia Plath, you hear directly from many of the players in these real-life tragedies. There's even a theme song - Janelle Monae's "Hell You Talmbout."

Something is very wrong, Gladwell argues, with the tools and strategies we use to make sense of people we don't know. And because we don't know how to talk to strangers, we are inviting conflict and misunderstanding in ways that have a profound effect on our lives and our world.]]> 388 Malcolm Gladwell 0316478520 Charlton 5 4.00 2019 Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know About the People We Don't Know

We delay gratification thinking that we should only celebrate when the work is done. We labor under the false pretense that success must be hard won. And so we burn out--professionally, personally, physically--because happiness is integral to the way we function. In search of a more effective pursuit of happiness, Vishen Lakhiani, founder and CEO of MindValley, created The Code of the Extraordinary Mind.

Through exercises, meditations, and instructional anecdotes, The Code of the Extraordinary Mind is a blueprint for retraining our minds to hack everything: how we work, love, parent, and heal. Lakhiani helps you confront common misperceptions about money, happiness, time management, personal potential, and productivity, and teaches you how to overcome them to achieve your true passions and purpose.

Think again. For years now, win-win has been the paradigm for business negotiation. But today, win-win is just the seductive mantra used by the toughest negotiators to get the other side to compromise unnecessarily, early, and often. Win-win negotiations play to your emotions and take advantage of your instinct and desire to make the deal. Start with No introduces a system of decision-based negotiation that teaches you how to understand and control these emotions. It teaches you how to ignore the siren call of the final result, which you can’t really control, and how to focus instead on the activities and behavior that you can and must control in order to successfully negotiate with the pros. The best * aren’t interested in “yes”—they prefer “no� * never, ever rush to close, but always let the other side feel comfortable and secure * are never needy; they take advantage of the other party’s neediness * create a “blank slate� to ensure they ask questions and listen to the answers, to make sure they have no assumptions and expectations * always have a mission and purpose that guides their decisions * don’t send so much as an e-mail without an agenda for what they want to accomplish * know the four “budgets� for themselves and for the other time, energy, money, and emotion * never waste time with people who don’t really make the decisionStart with No is full of dozens of business as well as personal stories illustrating each point of the system. It will change your life as a negotiator.

]]> <![CDATA[Win Your Case: How to Present, Persuade, and Prevail--Every Place, Every Time]]> 18942564 From renowned trial attorney and New York Times bestselling author Gerry a must own book for every lawyer and business professional seeking to make cutting-edge winning presentations--in court, at work, everywhere, any time.Gerry Spence is perhaps America's most renowned and successful trial lawyer, a man known for his deep convictions and his powerful courtroom presentations when he argues on behalf of ordinary people. Frequently pitted against teams of lawyers thrown against him by major corporate or government interests, he has never lost a criminal case and has not lost a civil jury trial since 1969.In Win Your Case, Spence shares a lifetime of experience teaching you how to win in any arena-the courtroom, the boardroom, the sales call, the salary review, the town council meeting-every venue where a case is to be made against adversaries who oppose the justice you seek. Relying on the successful courtroom methods he has developed over more than half a century, Spence shows both lawyers and laypersons how you can win your cases as he takes you step by step through the elements of a trial-from jury selection, the opening statement, the presentation of witnesses, their cross-examinations, and finally to the closing argument itself. Spence teaches you how to prepare yourselves for these wars. Then he leads you through the new, cutting-edge methods he uses in discovering the story in which you form the evidence into a compelling narrative, discover the point of view of the decision maker, anticipate and answer the counterarguments, and finally conclude the case with a winning final argument. To make a winning presentation, you are taught to prepare the power-person (the jury, the judge, the boss, the customer, the board) to hear your case. You are shown that your emotions, and theirs, are the source of your winning. You learn the power of your own fear, of honesty and caring and, yes, of love. You are instructed on how to role-play through the use of the psychodramatic technique, to both discover and tell the story of the case, and, at last, to pull it all together into the winning final argument.Whether you are presenting your case to a judge, a jury, a boss, a committee, or a customer, Win Your Case is an indispensable guide to success in every walk of life, in and out of the courtroom.]]> 300 Gerry Spence Charlton 0 currently-reading 4.15 2005 Win Your Case: How to Present, Persuade, and Prevail--Every Place, Every Time

]]> <![CDATA[Striving While Black: A Playbook for the Seriously Ambitious]]> 20523267
The book is divided into three sections and contains seven short, yet powerful, chapters. Section One, Get Ready, speaks to the need to gather as much information about the company before you start. More importantly, in this section, the author warns the reader to avoid stereotypical behavior that whites come to expect of blacks. Next, Section Two, Get Set, delves into the day to day behavior needed on the job to become successful. Finally, in Section Three , Go For It, introduces the concept of "relationship equity" to the reader. In other words, how important it is to be seen as a supportive and helpful co-worker.


Early on, Mr. Salter introduces the concept of Career IQ or Career Intelligence. Career Intelligence, he maintains, is the practical equivalent of the concept of mental intelligence coined and popularized by Lewis Terman of Stanford University in the early 1900’s. Terman used the IQ scoreas a way of quantifying intellectual functioning to allow for comparison among individuals. Mr. Salter uses the concept of Career Intelligence or CIQ to differentiate between mental ‘smarts� and practical ‘smarts�. Salter defines Career Intelligence as a combination of organizational savvy, interpersonal skills and learning agility.

The book covers important topics, issues and challenges faced by African-Americans and to some extent by other People of Color in corporate America. More importantly, the reader is provided with sound advice and strategies to deal with these challenges. The book concludes with a powerful Epilogue along with Bonus Material and Worksheets that should prove helpful to the “seriously ambitious.”]]> 74 Kwame Salter 0985227737 Charlton 5 Black Playbook for Corporate

]]> <![CDATA[Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don't]]> 18921097 Why do only a few people get to say “I love my job�? It seems unfair that finding fulfillment at work is like winning a lottery; that only a few lucky ones get to feel valued by their organizations, to feel like they belong.

Imagine a world where almost everyone wakes up inspired to go to work, feels trusted and valued during the day, then returns home feeling fulfilled.

This is not a crazy, idealized notion. Today, in many successful organizations, great leaders are creating environments in which people naturally work together to do remarkable things.

In his travels around the world since the publication of his bestseller Start with Why, Simon Sinek noticed that some teams were able to trust each other so deeply that they would literally put their lives on the line for each other. Other teams, no matter what incentives were offered, were doomed to infighting, fragmentation and failure. Why?

The answer became clear during a conversation with a Marine Corps general.

“Officers eat last,� he said.

Sinek watched as the most junior Marines ate first while the most senior Marines took their place at the back of the line. What’s symbolic in the chow hall is deadly serious on the battlefield: great leaders sacrifice their own comfort—even their own survival—for the good of those in their care.

This principle has been true since the earliest tribes of hunters and gatherers. It’s not a management theory; it’s biology. Our brains and bodies evolved to help us find food, shelter, mates and especially safety. We’ve always lived in a dangerous world, facing predators and enemies at every turn. We thrived only when we felt safe among our group.


Our biology hasn’t changed in fifty thousand years, but our environment certainly has. Today’s workplaces tend to be full of cynicism, paranoia and self-interest. But the best organizations foster trust and cooperation because their leaders build what Sinek calls a Circle of Safety that separates the security inside the team from the challenges outside.

The Circle of Safety leads to stable, adaptive, confident teams, where everyone feels they belong and all energies are devoted to facing the common enemy and seizing big opportunities.

As he did in Start with Why, Sinek illustrates his ideas with fascinating true stories from a wide range of examples, from the military to manufacturing, from government to investment banking.

The biology is clear: when it matters most, leaders who are willing to eat last are rewarded with deeply loyal colleagues who will stop at nothing to
advance their leader’s vision and their organization’s interests. It’s amazing how well it works.

]]> <![CDATA[Damn Few: Making the Modern SEAL Warrior]]> 18670758
Now, Denver takes you inside his personal story and the fascinating, demanding SEAL training program he now oversees. He recounts his experience evolving from a young SEAL hopeful pushing his way through Hell Week, into a warrior engaging in dangerous stealth missions across the globe, and finally into a lieutenant commander directing the indoctrination, requalification programs, and the "Hero or Zero" missions his SEALs undertake.

From his own SEAL training and missions overseas, Denver details how the SEALs' creative operations became front and center in America's War on Terror-and how they are altering warfare everywhere. In fourteen years as a SEAL officer, Rorke Denver tangled with drug lords in Latin America, stood up to violent mobs in Liberia, and battled terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan. Leading 200 commando missions, he earned the Bronze Star with V for valor. He has also served as flag aide to the admiral in charge and spent the past four years as executive officer of the Navy Special Warfare Center's Advanced Training Command in Coronado, California, directing all phases of the basic and advanced training that prepare men for war in SEAL teams. He recently starred in the film Act of Valor. He is married and has two daughters.

Ellis Henican is a columnist at Newsday and an on-air commentator at the Fox News Channel. He has written two recent New York Times bestsellers, Home Team with New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton and In the Blink of an Eye with NASCAR legend Michael Waltrip.

With all the SEALs' recent successes, we have been getting a level of acclaim we're not used to. But something important has been missing in this warm burst of publicity... Correcting that is my mission here.
My own SEAL dream was launched by a book. My hope is that this one teaches lessons that go far beyond the battlefield, inspiring a fresh generation of warriors to carry on that dream.

]]> <![CDATA[Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action]]> 8131906
In 2009, Simon Sinek started a movement to help people become more inspired at work, and in turn inspire their colleagues and customers. Since then, millions have been touched by the power of his ideas, including more than 28 million who’ve watched his TED Talk based on START WITH WHY -- the third most popular TED video of all time. Sinek starts with a fundamental Why are some people and organizations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others? Why do some command greater loyalty from customers and employees alike? Even among the successful, why are so few able to repeat their success over and over? People like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers had little in common, but they all started with WHY. They realized that people won't truly buy into a product, service, movement, or idea until they understand the WHY behind it. START WITH WHY shows that the leaders who've had the greatest influence in the world all think, act, and communicate the same way -- and it's the opposite of what everyone else does. Sinek calls this powerful idea The Golden Circle, and it provides a framework upon which organizations can be built, movements can be led, and people can be inspired. And it all starts with WHY.]]> 258 Simon Sinek 1101149035 Charlton 5 Sensational work connecting Limbic Brain functions

Now, whether you are a curious healthcare professional or just a connoisseur of diet information, two New York Times best-selling authors provide you with the definitive resource for low carbohydrate living.
Doctors Volek and Phinney share over 50 years of clinical experience using low carbohydrate diets, and together they have published more than 200 research papers and chapters on the topic. Particularly in the last decade, much has been learned about the risks associated with insulin resistance (including but not limited to metabolic syndrome, hypertension, and type-2 diabetes), and how this condition is far better controlled by carbohydrate restriction than with drugs.

In this book, you will learn
Carbohydrate restriction is the proverbial 'silver bullet' for managing insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and type-2 diabetes.
Restricting carbohydrate improves blood glucose and lipids while reducing inflammation, all without drugs.
Dietary saturated fat is not a demon when you are low carb adapted.
Dietary sugars and refined starches are not needed to feed your brain or fuel exercise.
Long-term success involves much more than simply cutting out carbs.
Electrolyte and mineral management are key to avoiding side effects and ensuring success.
Trading up from sugars and starches to a cornucopia of nutrient-rich, satisfying, and healthy foods is empowering.
Studying hunter-gathers' diets provides clues to how best formulate a low carbohydrate diet.

This is a great book for health-minded individuals.
It is an excellent book for healthcare professionals.
Best of all, it is the perfect gift for health-minded individuals to share with their doctors, dietitians, and nutritionists.]]> 280 Jeff S.

Our recent book 'The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living' was written for health care professionals, championing the benefits of carbohydrate restriction to manage insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and type-2 diabetes.

In response, our athlete friends asked "What about us?"

This companion book is our answer, and it could be titled: 'The Art and Science of Avoiding the BONK'. But actually, it is much much more than that. The keto-adapted athlete benefits from superior fuel flow not only when nearing glycogen depletion, but also during training, recovery, and in response to resistance exercise as well.

"On a well designed ketogenic diet as recommended by Jeff and Steve, I consume up to 4200 Calories per day while maintaining 6-7% body fat. This transformation has increased my power to mass ratio and allows a high level of performance in a range of activities. Equally if not more important is the efficiency with which I operate in every facet of my life. My energy level in the keto-adapted state is constant and nver undulates."

This little book is not aimed for your entertainment. You will not learn any magic pills. There is no such thing as a magic pill. I'm not going to bore you with 200 pages full of shit. You have plenty of choice to read those and pay 15 bucks for it. I'm going to be straight to the point. You will learn the core principles of losing weight in less than an hour. You will learn the truth. If you don't apply the rules in this book, you will never lose weight and maintain that weight.

See this book as a crash course 101. I'm not going to claim you will lose 100 pounds in one week, although that's theoretically possible if you learn the principles in this book, but that's not healthy. You are going to learn how to lose weight, the healthy way. You will learn how to lose weight and how to maintain that weight without gaining it all back. You will learn how to lose weight without getting hungry.]]> 23 Charlton 4 4.00 2013 The Four Rules: How to Lose Weight

You work your butt off, but at the end of the day, you're no closer to success than you were yesterday. The ugly truth is that it's not what you're doing that is holding you back.

It's who you are. It's the baggage between your ears that keeps you from achieving your dreams and goals. That's why Dan Waldschmidt is changing the conversation about success. It's why you need to have an EDGY conversation.

EDGY Conversations is a gut-wrenchingly honest, no-holds-barred discussion about what it takes to be success today. It’s based on the stories of 1,000 ordinary people in business, math, politics, sports and science who achieved mind-blowing feats of extraordinary greatness.

EDGY is how ordinary people become extraordinary.

EDGY is how a master chef, a World War II veteran, a 15-year-old girl, a homeless retired paramedic, an Australian potato farmer and a shoe executive became amazing, did the unthinkable and forever changed their corner of the world.

And EDGY is how you can achieve outrageous success, regardless of who or where you are in life right now.

You don't need another book on success. You just need to be more EDGY.

Discover The 56 Habits I Implemented That Took Me From A Weak, Depressed, Broke Kid To A Strong, Financially Free Man

My name is SJ, I’m the proprietor of IgnoreLimits and an Amazon #1 Best Selling author



I’ve Built A Shredded Spartan-Like Physique



I’ve Created A Lifestyle That Allows Me To Travel As I Please



I’ve Created Several Highly Profitable Online Businesses

And I Did It All With Specially-Developed HABITS Modelled From Some Of The Greatest Men In History

Let’s Roll Back A Few Years�

I was a skinny 135lbs dripping wet, weak and insecure - I was a loser, I avoided exercise and just about all other activities that involved leaving the house.



Video games ruled my life, I’d spend all day and night glued to my computer screen as I slayed digital dragons� I had no drive, no discipline and certainly no ambition, I was too afraid to talk to people I didn’t know, let alone girls.



I thought the only way to make lots of money was to work overtime at my dead end job in a pet food factory.



Deep down I wanted to have the body, I wanted the money and I wanted the freedom to ditch my soul sucking job and live the good life.



I began to ask others around me “What should I do?� and “How do I finally catch a break?�



They told me to “keep plugging away in the pet food factory, because society says it’s normal to not like your job�.



They told me that the beach body I always wanted “came down to having good genetics� then I was reminded I didn’t have those because I was skinny.



They told me that “trying to change my life circumstances was risky�, that I should go with the grain and be happy with what I have.

Don’t Expect Results By Following The Same Old Self-Sabotaging Habits

Doing the same thing over and over again yet hoping for a better tomorrow is literally the definition of insanity.
