Stop chasing happiness and seek fulfillment insteadStrive shakes up everything you know about happiness, turns you around, and sets you on the track to true fulfillment. It's not what you think--happiness is not found in achievement and luxury and having all the free time in the world. Humans are most fulfilled and feel best about themselves when they are striving towards a difficult goal that involves struggle and discomfort.Dr. Adam Fraser is a peak performance researcher who helps people strive for 'better' in everything that they do; in this book, he shares his insights into the human condition and why happiness always feels just out of reach. Whether you're looking to boost workplace productivity, or just need the motivation to go about your daily life, this book will show you the little-known truths about happiness, purpose, and fulfillment.In working with groups from all around the world, Dr. Fraser has observed that the unhappiest and most unfulfilled people have low levels of struggle and challenge.

This book takes you inside the root of human motivation to show you how to live and work toward fulfillment.* Grow and evolve through embracing discomfort* Reframe struggle as an opportunity for development* Learn the three behaviours of striving effectively* Discover your motivation--and use it* Learn why you are most proud of overcoming the hard things in lifeWhen you're working toward a goal, you are engaged, motivated, and ready to take on the world.

Meet the twelve people that can accelerate your success – in business and in life It′s Who You Know is the long–awaited handbook to effective, productive and influential networking. Having the right relationships is more important than ever before, but digital connectivity and social media has changed the landscape. Social media has made networking easy, but has it made it better? In an age of digital disconnect, having the right relationships is more important than ever before with more and more of us reporting we feel disconnected from social media. Networking is no longer about collecting business cards and meeting thousands of people online or offline; it′s about knowing the right people, and nurturing those relationships. You only need 12 – or even just four. Approached strategically, this comparatively small network will provide the strength, diversity and opportunities to help you achieve your personal and professional goals. This book shows you who you need to know, how to get to know them and how to make value a two–way street.

The old adage "It′s not what you know; it′s who you know" has never been more applicable than it is today.

Tools, tips and strategies to stop the cycle of ′busy′ and start getting ahead Stand Out shows you how to stop working so much, and start achieving instead. Everyone is busy, but working harder to do more isn′t getting us anywhere. We′re overwhelmed, distracted and detached, and our greatest fear is that this will never change. This book is your guide to taking back your life. Through simple models, robust diagnostics and practical suggestions you′ll identify where you are now and how to implement real change. Explore how to move on from Check Out (the sense that you are just going through the motions), combat Burn Out (the feeling that you′re on a treadmill that is dialled too fast for your legs, brain and talents to keep pace with) and move through Freak Out (that overriding anxiety generated by knowing where you want to go but not getting any traction). Real–life stories, anecdotes and ‘life hacks′ provide ideas you can implement immediately, while in–depth discussion of psychological theory explains the science behind the actions. The goal is not to find your One True Passion, but to identify what′s most important right now.

We′re expected to be plugged in 24/7, and continually expected to do more and more with the same 24 hours in every day. Organisations suffer, families suffer and workers suffer – so why do we perpetuate this cycle? This book shows you how to hop off the hamster wheel and thrive through relentless change by doing less – but by doing it smarter. Treat self–care as an imperative for success Connect to what′s important here and now Stop day–dreaming and put action to purpose Take control of your day, your path and your life It′s not about productivity training or the latest organisational system – it′s about having the tools, mindset and skills in place to make your activities work for you.

Understand where you fit to understand where you′ll excel Fit: When Talent and Intelligence Just Won′t Cut It answers the fundamental performance questions that people have asked for generations. Why is that some individuals are consistently high performers, how do they keep performing in varying situations, organisations and contexts, why can some people just not seem to be able to crack that code, and why do some individuals perform exceptionally well in certain organisations but not in others? This fresh new book challenges current thinking about the war for talent and the role intelligence plays in high performance sport and business. Over 3,000 profiles of elite corporate managers and professional elites have been studied to find the answers as to why certain individuals consistently get exceptional results and why great talent doesn′t transfer across teams and businesses. Fit considers real live cases and well–known examples of spectacular successes and failures through the lens of the Hogan Personality Tools. This shows how elite performance is dependent on three things; understanding what role your behaviours are best suited to, what culture you perform your best in and how you′re likely to derail your career. Armed with this knowledge, this innovative text allows you to connect the dots on your past performances and prepares you to find roles, organisations and teams which best fit you – opening the door for elite performance. Instead of talent management and changing behaviour, look to Fit as a key to your performance improvement. You′ll find that performance does not have a one–size–fits–all formula – it is bespoke, personal and different for each individual. Understand how you can align your natural style with the right roles to achieve elite performance in your professional and personal lives Appreciate your unique behavioural patterns that impact personal and team success Discover that true success is not totally dependent on talent and intelligence, but on discovering what you′re good at and where you fit. Fit: When Talent and Intelligence Just Won′t Cut It unearths the hidden traits of elite performance and enables you to find your fit to further enhance your engagement and success.
