Whenever you influence, persuade or convince someone to give you something in exchange for what you’ve got—whether it’s a luxury home, a great idea at work, or your profile on Match.com—you are selling.

He also shares his tips and tricks for preparing, persuading, and negotiating so that in any of life’s dealings, you’ll come out a winner.

A New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Publishers Weekly, and USA Today bestseller "Newport is making a bid to be the Marie Kondo of technology: someone with an actual plan for helping you realize the digital pursuits that do, and don't, bring value to your life."--Ezra Klein, Vox Minimalism is the art of knowing how much is just enough. Digital minimalism applies this idea to our personal technology. It's the key to living a focused life in an increasingly noisy world. In this timely and enlightening book, the bestselling author of Deep Work introduces a philosophy for technology use that has already improved countless lives. Digital minimalists are all around us. They're the calm, happy people who can hold long conversations without furtive glances at their phones. They can get lost in a good book, a woodworking project, or a leisurely morning run. They can have fun with friends and family without the obsessive urge to document the experience. They stay informed about the news of the day, but don't feel overwhelmed by it. They don't experience "fear of missing out" because they already know which activities provide them meaning and satisfaction. Now, Newport gives us a name for this quiet movement, and makes a persuasive case for its urgency in our tech-saturated world. Common sense tips, like turning off notifications, or occasional rituals like observing a digital sabbath, don't go far enough in helping us take back control of our technological lives, and attempts to unplug completely are complicated by the demands of family, friends and work. What we need instead is a thoughtful method to decide what tools to use, for what purposes, and under what conditions. Drawing on a diverse array of real-life examples, from Amish farmers to harried parents to Silicon Valley programmers, Newport identifies the common practices of digital minimalists and the ideas that underpin them. He shows how digital minimalists are rethinking their relationship to social media, rediscovering the pleasures of the offline world, and reconnecting with their inner selves through regular periods of solitude. He then shares strategies for integrating these practices into your life, starting with a thirty-day "digital declutter" process that has already helped thousands feel less overwhelmed and more in control. Technology is intrinsically neither good nor bad. The key is using it to support your goals and values, rather than letting it use you. This book shows the way.
They gained their maturity in an age of monumental and unprecedented change – from horse-and-buggy, Model TFord, and crank telephone, to moonwalks, space shuttles, and the Internet. They are better educated, more affluent, more vigorous, and longer-lived than any generation before them, yet obstinately cling to a forthright simplicity no generation is likely to regain. They are proudly “old fashioned” in their outlook, hardworking, and frugal in their ways. They are the last enthusiastic patriots, the last to accept authority with respect. They are the last generation to have reached adulthood without television, credit cards, computers, or the Pill. Their younger critics may call them “old fogies”; Robert Collins calls them Generation M, for mature. In You Had to Be There, Robert Collins gives us the entire history of this extraordinary and hugely influential generation. Through this fascinating story he weaves the voices of Canadians from across the country, who speak with humour, regret, and passion about the hardships and triumphs of their lives and about the widening gap between themselves and the rest of Canada. Generation gaps are as old as humankind, but rarely has there been as much misunderstanding and veiled animosity as there is between young and old today. Robert Collins accounts for the prejudices, pokes fun at the rivalries, and, with humour and sympathy, invites younger Canadians to re-examine their parents’ or grandparents’ lives and consider, maybe for the first time, the true proportion of their legacy.
Charlotte Graham is at the center of the most famous kidnapping in Chicago history. The task force of FBI and local cops found her two abductors, killed them, rescued her, but it took four very long years. The fact she was found less than three miles from her home, had been there the entire time, haunts them. She's changed her identity, found a profession she loves, and rebuilt her life. She's never said a word--to the cops, to her doctors, to family--about those four years. A family legacy has brought her back to Chicago where a reporter is writing a book about the kidnapping. The cops who worked the case are cooperating with him. Her options are limited: Hope the reporter doesn't find the full truth, or break her silence about what happened. And her silence is what has protected her family for years. Bryce Bishop doesn't know her past, he only knows she has coins to sell from her grandfather's estate--and that the FBI director for the Chicago office made the introduction. The more he gets to know Charlotte, the more interested he becomes, an interest encouraged by those closest to her. But nothing else is working in his favor--she's decided she is single for life, she struggles with her faith, and she's willing to forego a huge inheritance to keep her privacy. She's not giving him much of an opening to work with. Charlotte wants to trust him. She needs to tell him what happened. Because a crime cops thought was solved, has only opened another chapter...
Trayvon Martin’s parents take readers beyond the news cycle with an account only they could give: the intimate story of a tragically foreshortened life and the rise of a movement. “A reminder—not only of Trayvon’s life and death but of the vulnerability of black lives in a country that still needs to be reminded they matter.”—USA Today Now a docuseries on the Paramount Network produced by Shawn Carter Years after his tragic death, Trayvon Martin’s name is still evoked every day. He has become a symbol of social justice activism, as has his hauntingly familiar image: the photo of a child still in the process of becoming a young man, wearing a hoodie and gazing silently at the camera. But who was Trayvon Martin, before he became, in death, an icon? And how did one black child’s death on a dark, rainy street in a small Florida town become the match that lit a civil rights crusade? Rest in Power, told through the compelling alternating narratives of his parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, answers those questions from the most intimate of sources. The book takes us beyond the news cycle and familiar images to give the account that only his parents can offer: the story of the beautiful and complex child they lost, the cruel unresponsiveness of the police and the hostility of the legal system, and an inspiring journey from grief and pain to power, and from tragedy and senselessness to purpose.
Interaction between police forces and journalists has become more frequent and professional in recent years, and the relationship can be mutually beneficial. The Home Affairs Committee felt the less-positive aspects of the relationship, however, warranted investigation. This report looks in particular at: the practice of holding off-the-record briefings during on-doing police operations; instances where police have failed to release information to the media; and attempts by the police to control media reporting. The Committee found it difficult to establish the precise extent of off-the-record briefing, but examples cited by witnesses convinced it that it occurs too frequently, and can be particularly damaging during counter-terrorism operations. It is not acceptable for officers to identify individual suspects to the media before charge, as this has the potential to damage the investigation, any subsequent trial and the reputation of suspects released without charge. The leaking of information from police officers to journalist breaches police discipline regulations, but forces often find it difficult to identify the source of the leak. Forces should be more forthcoming in providing on-the-record information to journalists about individual crimes. This in the public interest and greater openness can contribute towards greater public trust in police data. Attempting to influence or control media approaches and programmes is not the role of the police and can be seen as attacking freedom of expression.
This is a dangerous book. It may shatter you beyond redemption. It may make you forfeit, continuity of comfort with your own being and the world you live. But, the rewards are mesmerizing. It unravels mysteries you thought humanity could never. It’s about universal yet elusive actuality of Reality and Humanity. It is about you, you never knew. Dig in, brave it, for prosperous 2020; lifelong bliss. Annihilation of humanity is inevitable as stupidities-hypocrisies embedded in consciousness and perception of Reality make Sanity an Impossibility. Intelligence has ‘Seeds’ of its own extinction. 21st century wisdom bares the mechanism-process of compulsive insanity of humanity. This in turn lists out, how an individual can attain Personal Sanity in life-living, even amid madness of milieus. In the pathology lies the diagnosis of the methodology of cure; in the genetics of problem is embedded the genesis of solution. This is Rule of Causality. When you decipher the anatomy of human world insanity, prescription of individual sanity is charted out. This eBook logically deconstructs collective human hypocrisies and stupidities to objectively construct framework of lasting personal bliss. Humanity in general does not have the primary culpability of human world hypocrisies and stupidities, as insanity of humanity is coded in the way Reality unravels and expresses itself and the way the human consciousness is designed to perceive it. Still, the human culpability is colossal as despite this knowledge about Reality and Consciousness design being available since ages and now fully deciphered, humanity happily continues to repeat the same mistakes, refusing foolishly to learn from them. This too happens and shall keep happening till the inevitable extinction of humanity in foreseeable future as this too is very much the mechanism and process of Reality and its expression-perception in human world. All these are no more complicated and unknowable knowledge in 21st century. The knowledge about Reality and its unraveling by the innately restrictive human mind consciousness has been there since around 3000 years but now, modern science has perfectly deciphered it and explained it in reasonably understandable terms. The critical knowledge of Reality, Human Consciousness and Cognition, along with objective, measurable understanding of the Cosmic Rule of Causality in contemporary scientific wisdom definitively establishes that Sanity Is Impossibility in human world. This knowledge then in its holism reflects happily on the fact that the very understanding of the causalities of insanity of collective humanity reveals the elements that can and should install personal sanity, poise, order and wellness symmetry in an individual. The core purpose of this eBook is to deliberate in detail about why Sanity is a Possibility only at personal and individual level and any aware and sincere persona can attain it. Naturally, this eBook also categorically lists out the mechanism and process of how an individual can attain his or her personal sanity and system, fully understanding as why this can happen, even when the human world continues with its ever-evolving hypocrisies and stupidities, till annihilation of humanity happens. Welcome.
