Bragging rights : how to talk about your work using purposeful self-promotion

Bragg, Lisa, author
2023

"Shed your invisibility cloak and achieve success. ?́?Be a good girl, put your head down, do good work, and eventually someone will notice.?́? So many of us have been told that if we just follow the rules and work hard, then we will be rewarded. But in these transformative times, old formulas, and ideas like this don?́?t work anymore?́?if they ever did! The reality is, you?́?ve already been doing excellent work, and yet opportunities have probably slipped by you. Maybe you?́?ve been waiting to get that next-level promotion, draw in higher-profile clients, or attract the people who will make partnerships that matter. Whatever you are waiting for, one thing is true: if you want the opportunities you most certainly deserve, you must learn to talk about your work using purposeful self-promotion. You can no longer wait for others simply to take notice of you and reward you accordingly. In this cutting-edge new book, acclaimed speaker and advisor Lisa Bragg examines the circumstances that have led people to believe they should stay quiet rather than speak up about their work. Drawing on the most comprehensive study on bragging done to date, along with interviews with highly successful people across multiple fields worldwide, she explains both the obstacles to self-promotion and how they can be overcome to create more opportunities for yourself and others, including those you lead. Skillfully blending extensive research with practical application, Bragging Rights is a must-read for anyone who wants to shed the invisibility cloak and achieve life-changing success."-- Provided by publisher.

The Forest City Killer : a serial murderer, a cold-case sleuth, and a search for justice

The Forest City Killer : a serial murderer, a cold-case sleuth, and a search for justice

Brown, Vanessa, 1980- author
2019

Fifty years ago, a serial killer prowled the quiet city of London, Ontario, marking it as his hunting grounds. As young women and boys were abducted, raped, and murdered, residents of the area held their loved ones closer and closer, terrified of the monster or monsters stalking the streets. Homicide detective Dennis Alsop began hunting the killer in the 1960s, and he didn't stop searching until his death 40 years later. For decades, detectives, actual and armchair, and the victims families and friends continued to ask questions: Who was the Forest City Killer? Was there more than one person, or did a depraved individual commit all of these crimes on his own? Combing through the files Detective Alsop left behind, researcher Vanessa Brown reopens the cases, revealing previously unpublished witness statements, details of evidence, and astonishing revelations. And through her investigation, Vanessa posits the unthinkable: is it possible that the Forest City Killer is still alive and, like the notorious Golden State Killer, a simple DNA test could bring him to justice?

The Inversion : how we have been tricked into perceiving a false reality

The Inversion : how we have been tricked into perceiving a false reality

Dennis, Kingsley, author
2023

Rewriting perceptions of reality and unravelling the conspiracies of the modern mirror-world. Have you ever wondered why things in life aren't quite as they seem? Why we celebrate distorted entertainments to such an extreme; or why an industrial-technology-media complex has become the dominant political and economic force of governance? Why our way of life seems morally corrupt and our choices upside-down? This is the Inversion: the model of reality that our brains have been programmed to accept and which also compels us to participate in and sustain. In his ground-breaking book, Kingsley Dennis examines these issues, questions this reality-model, and comes to some surprising conclusions. Dennis unpicks the complexities of our manipulated reality, enlightening readers to the nature and mechanisms of the inverted, mirror world that so many people have become lost within. Yet it does not need to remain this way - if people are ready and willing to open their eyes to what is going on around them. The Inversion deals with unpleasant truths which we too often ignore because a veil has been pulled over our eyes and minds. Within its pages, readers will find out about the hidden hands that work to normalize the madness of the 'upside-down world.' Dennis also examines the social engineering of spiritual control mechanisms, machinic consciousness, the metaverse, entropic or negative forces, the evolutionary impulse, the nature of the hybrid self - and much more. This book is for those readers who are ready to open their mind and to perceive a greater reality.

Reversing Alzheimer's : the new toolkit to improve cognition and protect brain health

Reversing Alzheimer's : the new toolkit to improve cognition and protect brain health

Sandison, Heather, author
2024

An estimated 6.7 million North Americans aged 65 and older are living with Alzheimer's dementia today. But that doesn't mean most of us are doomed to develop Alzheimer's. Research in neuroplasticity has proven that our brains have the capacity to keep changing, learning, and growing even into our later years. Dr. Heather Sandison shows how we can alleviate the factors that nudge the brain into decline, add more of the things that contribute to brain regeneration, and either make significant improvements in cognitive function or prevent cognitive decline from happening in the first place.
