Schwartz (1927-1987) was a professor of marketing and chairman of the department at Georgia State University, Atlanta. He was considered a leading American authority on motivation. Starting from a one-room house in rural Indiana, David J. Schwartz became the president of his own company, Creative Educational Services, a consulting firm specializing in leadership development. On top of this, he became a lecturer to more than three thousand trade associations and sales groups.IntroductionThe Magic of Thinking Big is a powerful, practical, and uplifting book to help get you out of a rut. Building from this, this book can invigorate your goals and empower you towards success. Most people go through life with small ambitions, small goals, and small thoughts, and they only rise to the size of their dreams. That said, by thinking big, you can start achieving larger goals.Chapter 1: Believe you can succeed, and you willBelieve in yourself and your abilities to achieve success. Small thinking limits your potential, as it focuses on reasons for failure instead of solutions. Expand your capacity to think bigger and find the best actions to take. Ask yourself if you believe in positive relationships, partners, and friendships, and challenge any limiting beliefs. Follow three tips to acquire the power of belief.Think Success, Don’t Think FailureRemind Yourself Regularly that You Are Better than You Think You AreBelieve BigChapter 2: Cure Yourself of Excusitis, the Failure DiseaseHealth ExcusitisIntelligence ExcusitisAge ExcusitisLuck ExcusitisChapter 3: Build Confidence and Destroy FearDestroy fearful thoughts associated with actions that can move you towards your goals. You have to make peace with that fear. If you want your fear to go away, simply take action and do something. Action cures fear. Isolate your fear and then take constructive action.Make a supreme effort to only put positive thoughts in your memory bank. On top of this, refuse to recall unpleasant events or situations. If you can utilize these two approaches, you’ll start to build confidence.Final Summary, Review, and Criticism of The Magic of Thinking BigThinking big has a significant impact on our chances of success, as it attracts luck and fantastic ideas. On the other hand, thinking small increases the likelihood of failure. To think big, we must train ourselves to see what can be, not just what is. Visualization can enhance our chances of success. Additionally, asking ourselves how we can improve will encourage creative thinking and growth. Leading by example is also crucial, thinking, talking, acting, and living the way we want others to behave. We should always treat people as important and exceed their expectations.The book is a bit outdated and falls a bit into the positive thinking craze. So, we rate it 4.2/5.---Editor's Note: This episode was first published in 2021. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The book includes Hyatt's process to help high achievers become more productive, improve their work-life balance, enhance their relationships, and optimize their happiness and health. He believes your best year will only take five hours and five steps to plan. This plan will triple your chances of achieving your goals. Michael Hyatt’s PerspectiveMichael Hyatt is the founder and CEO of Michael Hyatt & Co, a leadership development firm specializing in live events, workshops, and digital and physical planning tools. Hyatt was previously chairman and CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers. He is also a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of several books. His work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Fast Company, Businessweek, and Entrepreneur. He currently runs a popular blog and podcast alongside his leadership training activities. Hyatt's perspective comes from decades as a leadership consultant and trainer. He distilled the book's content from individual coaching sessions, webinars, and workshops. Who Is This Book For?Your Best Year Ever is for those who struggle with motivation (e.g., while keeping new year resolutions). It will also serve people who want to make changes in their lives but aren't sure how to go about them and those who let their negative thoughts hold them back from taking action.StoryShot #1: The First Step Is To Believe the PossibilityThe first fundamental difference between an unfulfilled goal and achieving success is believing that it is possible. If you focus on improving your beliefs, your circumstances will also improve unknowingly. Our expectations determine our perception and how we act. In turn, these perceptions and actions influence our outcomes. For example, Hyatt’s family used an electronic collar on their dog to warn it not to stray too far. Whenever the dog walked too far from Hyatt’s household, the collar would lightly vibrate. The dog quickly learned not to cross the exact barrier Hyatt’s family had linked with the collar, even after the family removed the collar. This is an example of a thought-based barrier becoming a reality. Doubt and Failed ImaginationBecome an Abundant ThinkerLimiting BeliefsHow to Tackle PowerlessnessRating: We rate this book 4/5.First published on Jan 29, 2022.

Contact support@getstoryshots.comStoryShots Book Summary and Review of Limitless by Jim KwikJim Kwik is a world-renowned expert in speed-reading, memory improvement, brain performance, and accelerated learning. After a childhood brain injury, Kwik created strategies to dramatically improve his mental performance to overcome the impacts of his brain injury. Now he teaches others how to improve their mental performance. His clients range from students to world-leading CEOs and celebrities. He also provides training for top organizations like Google, Virgin, SpaceX and Harvard University.  “One of my core beliefs is that human potential is one of the only infinite resources we have in this world. Most everything else is finite, but the human mind is the ultimate superpower—there is no limit to our creativity, imagination, determination, or ability to think, reason, or learn. Yet this resource is also among the least tapped.” – Jim KwikJim Kwik suffered a brain injury as a child, which made it difficult for him to learn. However, he taught himself how to learn again and can now recall large amounts of information. He believes that anyone can improve their mental abilities by changing their mindset, motivation, or learning method.#1: The FundamentalsJim Kwik introduces the FASTER method in his book Limitless, which includes fundamental skills and encourages readers to use them. FASTER stands for Forget, Act, State, Teach, Enter, and Review. To focus on a task, remove potential distractions. Learning should be active, not passive. Your learning depends on your psychological and physiological state. Learn with the intention of teaching someone else. Schedule opportunities for personal growth. To limit the impact of the forgetting curve, actively recall information using spaced repetition, increasing time intervals between reviews.#2: The 3 MsThe 3Ms - Mindset, Motivation, and Methods - are the foundation of limitless learning. The unlimiting process involves removing self-imposed limitations in these three areas to unlock your potential. Your mindset and motivation inspire you to learn, leading to limitless ideation, which must be combined with effective methods for implementation. Kwik identifies three self-imposed limits that prevent us from excelling: mindset, motivation, and methods. By adopting a limitless mindset, generating motivation through a repeatable process, and mastering learning methods, you can become truly limitless.#3: The 4,3,2,1 MethodBelieving in your own abilities is key to improving them. To increase reading speed, one should suspend limiting beliefs and act as though their potential is limitless. The 4, 3, 2, 1 method is a ten-minute exercise that involves reading for decreasing intervals of time while underlining each word. After the exercise, one should resume reading at a comfortable pace and compare the results to see an improvement in reading speed. Simply believing that you can read faster can lead to an upgrade in your abilities. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

He grew up in the wastelands of Northern Alberta. He earned his PhD and post-doctorate in clinical psychology from McGill University before working as a professor at Harvard University.Peterson’s various TV appearances for commentary on personality, religion and cultural Marxism have made him famous. More recently, in 2016, Peterson released a series of YouTube videos that criticized new discrimination laws on the basis of gender identity. Based on these videos, he received significant media coverage ranging from criticism to praise.Peterson describes himself politically as a classic British liberal and traditionalist. So, he supports individual liberty and maintaining tradition but does not align with a right-wing ideology.Peterson has deeply experienced the world. He has flown a hammer-head roll in a carbon-fiber stunt plane and explored an Arizona meteorite crater with astronauts. He has also taught mythology to lawyers, doctors and business people. He has consulted for the UN secretary-general and served as an adviser to senior partners of major Canadian law firms. Introduction12 Rules for Life discusses discipline, responsibility, freedom and adventure. Peterson distills the world’s wisdom into twelve wide-ranging essays based on ancient tradition and groundbreaking scientific research. Peterson argues happiness is a pointless goal. Instead, we must search for meaning as an antidote to the chaos of our age. Peterson compares chaos and order to Yin and Yang. To keep our lives in perfect balance, we must tackle the inevitable chaos with order. The best way to find order is by searching for meaning. This search for meaning should not be for its own sake but as a defense against the suffering intrinsic to our existence. When you experience this suffering, you can either withdraw or face it. Withdrawing will allow the darkness we all possess to overcome us. Facing it will help us challenge these dark impulses and adjust our aims.The book provides life advice through essays in abstract ethical principles, psychology, mythology, religion and personal anecdotes. The book has been translated into many languages and sold millions of copies since its release in 2018.Rule #1: Stand Up Straight With Your Shoulders BackRule #2: Treat Yourself Like Someone You Are Responsible for HelpingRule #3: Make Friends With People Who Want the Best for YouRule #4: Compare Yourself to Who You Were Yesterday, Not to Who Someone Else Is TodayRule #5: Do Not Let Your Children Do Anything That Makes You Dislike ThemNOTE: This audiobook was first published on 3/6/2021.

The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy Audiobook Full Version

This book is in the public domain. The audiobook is a collaboration between StoryShots and Layne Smith-Brown Copyright: Layne Smith-Brown https://www.weirdhummingbirds.com Get the PDF, infographic and book summary here. IN THIS EPISODE: By understanding and deliberately programming the subconscious mind through intentional thoughts, beliefs, and mental techniques, individuals can unlock their inner potential and create transformative changes in their personal and professional lives. TOPICS: Aging, Wealth, psychology, subconscious mind, Relationships, Self-improvement, prayer, healing KEY FIGURES: Ralph Waldo Emerson, StoryShots, Joseph Murphy, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, Lane Smith Brown SUMMARY: In this full audiobook reading, Lane Smith Brown narrates Joseph Murphy's 'The Power of Your Subconscious Mind', a transformative self-help book focused on understanding and harnessing the potential of the subconscious mind. Murphy argues that the subconscious mind is a powerful, malleable force that can be programmed through intentional thoughts, beliefs, and visualization techniques to manifest positive outcomes in various aspects of life, including health, wealth, relationships, and personal success. The book explores the fundamental principle that thoughts and beliefs, when consistently and emotionally held, can directly influence one's reality by imprinting on the subconscious mind. Murphy provides numerous techniques and practical strategies for reprogramming the subconscious, such as visualization, affirmation, prayer, and mental imagery, which can help individuals overcome fears, break negative habits, attract desired outcomes, and achieve personal transformation. Throughout The Power of Your Subconscious Mind audiobook, Murphy shares numerous case studies and personal anecdotes that illustrate how individuals have successfully used subconscious mind techniques to heal illnesses, overcome fears, improve relationships, achieve career success, and maintain a youthful and positive outlook on life. The core message emphasizes that by understanding and deliberately working with the subconscious mind, individuals can unlock their inner potential, overcome limiting beliefs, and create the life they desire through the power of thought and belief. KEY QUOTES: • "Your subconscious mind is the architect and builder of the body. It controls all your vital functions." - Joseph Murphy • "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. Whatever you impress upon your subconscious mind is expressed on the screen of space as condition, experience and event." - Joseph Murphy • "Fear is a thought in your mind. You can dig it up at this moment by supplanting it with faith in success, achievement and victory over all problems." - Joseph Murphy • "You are what you imagine yourself to be. Imagination is your most powerful faculty." - Joseph Murphy KEY TAKEAWAYS: • Your subconscious mind is a powerful creative force that can be deliberately programmed through intentional thoughts, feelings, and mental imagery • Every thought acts as a cause, and corresponding conditions in your life represent the effect - making your mental attitude the primary architect of your experiences • Fear, negative thinking, and self-limiting beliefs can be systematically replaced with positive, constructive thoughts that manifest desirable outcomes • The subconscious mind operates like a faithful servant, automatically executing the dominant thoughts and beliefs you consistently impress upon it • Visualization, affirmation, and focused mental practices can help transform habits, overcome psychological barriers, and achieve personal goals • Your mind has the capacity to heal the body, attract abundance, and generate success when aligned with positive, life-affirming principles • Age is primarily a state of mind - maintaining curiosity, learning, and a positive outlook can help you remain mentally and spiritually youthful Learn more about your ad choices.

The novel emphasizes that following one's dreams, despite obstacles, is the path to a fulfilling life. The Alchemist audiobook summary then provides background on the author Paulo Coelho and how his own life experiences, such as being committed to psychiatric hospitals by his parents, inspired his spiritually-focused writing. The Alchemist was initially a slow seller but became one of the most translated books by a living author. The remaining audiobook summarizes the key events and lessons from The Alchemist, including Santiago's journey across Spain and Africa to find his prophesied treasure, the concept of omens and the 'Soul of the World' guiding him, and the realization that his true Personal Legend was the wisdom gained along the way, not just the treasure itself.
