The New York Times bestselling author of Unfu*k Yourself helps you get out of the past, focus on the future, and build the life you’ve always wanted.

There are countless self-help books telling you how to get the life you want―how to find your purpose, make your plan, follow your goals. Yet, too many of us are frozen in life, unfulfilled and stuck with what we have.

Too often, we only see our future through a lens of the past―our past beliefs, experiences, and circumstances. We desire lives that are “better,” “more,” or “different.” But we need to focus on crafting a life of invention, completely free of the constraints of what has been, and Gary John Bishop has the answer.

Now What? is your guide to building the right mindset to reinvent not only your life but what you are devoting your life to. Be warned though: Gary’s message isn’t for the faint of heart. You will be confronted and unsettled, challenged and provoked. But on the other side is an invigorating, hands-on approach to living life. Your life. Maybe even a life you never believed you could have. Let’s fu*king go.

Reinvent Your Life: Gary John Bishop shows how to stop living through the lens of the past and start building a future shaped by intention and action.

Motivation for a Fresh Start: If you feel stuck, unfulfilled, or frozen in place, Now What? offers a direct challenge to break out of old patterns and move forward.

Mindset for Personal Transformation: Shift your thinking, confront the limits of your past beliefs, and create a life that is bigger, freer, and more fully your own.

Bold Self-Help That Pushes You: Bishop’s provocative, hands-on approach is designed to unsettle complacency and spark meaningful change.

Purpose, Direction, and Action: More than inspiration, this book is a guide to redefining not just the life you want, but what you are willing to devote your life to.

NEGOTIATING WITH TRUMP: LESSONS ON POWER, INFLUENCE, AND DEALING WITH EXTREME BARGAINERS by PETER D. JOHNSTON

https://www.amazon.com/dp/0980942179

WHAT MAKES DONALD TRUMP TICK? Is the world negotiating with a madman—or a genius? Is his chaotic approach to influence instinct-driven, or is it a calculated strategy? And did the co-author of The Art of the Deal secure a second presidency because of his negotiation style, or in spite of it?

To endure and flourish in the era of the 47th president, we need more than political commentary. We need a playbook—one that helps us see patterns and analyze for ourselves what’s going on, while empowering us to excel in our own negotiations.

In Negotiating with Trump, Peter D. Johnston applies the objective lens of a negotiation expert to decode President Trump’s tactics. Johnston exposes the mechanics of Trump’s leverage, digging into his personality profile, his mastery of our psychological tendencies, and the coalition building that drives his agenda.

From the boardroom and the international stage to your living room, this is a systematic and entertaining examination of what works, what fails, and what we can learn from Trump’s extreme approaches to negotiation. Whether you are closing a business deal, negotiating conflicts at home, or hoping to influence America’s next steps as a nation, this book will force you to rethink what you know about power, persuasion, and the art of the deal.

God, by Man by Oguchi H Nkwocha

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DR3NBT52

In this bound-to-be controversial work of theological scholarship, Oguchi H. Nkwocha, M.D., propounds some fascinating and bold theories about religious beliefs. Rather than support his contentions with an abundance of scriptural quotations, the author skillfully builds the case for his unorthodox views with deductive reasoning.Taking an antifundamentalist stance, he asks readers to reexamine man’s relationship with God. The author reveals how various religions and religious sects function by inventing gods and then assigning those “creations” the qualities of omniscience and omnipotence. Evading the reality of the real Supreme Being, mankind has often manufactured his gods in his own image.Instead of presenting his striking theories in an abstract manner, this writer/philosopher relates the shortcomings of many religions by juxtaposing them with such contemporary issues as homelessness, sexism, and ecology-issues which most religions fail to address squarely, if at all. Dr. Nkwocha’s book is at its most compelling when it dissects the way in which religions have evolved from mankind’s need to understand the complex mysteries of nature.Students of religious history will be eager traveling companions on this journey through times as Nkwocha delves into pagan rituals, the traditional political power of the priesthood, and the manner in which our gods continue to fail us when we seek answers to cosmic enigmas.Whether you are an atheist, an agnostic, or a true believer, this profound treatise offers grounds for enlightened spiritual discussion.
