While humility (or the lack of it) has been central to my life, you may not suffer from the same problems I do. You may never be anxious or depressed, self-centered or egotistical, self-conscious or selfish. If you're wondering how humility can help you, ask yourself which of the following statements are true for you:I want to be healthier - both mentally and physically. I want to have deeper, more meaningful relations with my family and friends.I want to be less concerned about what others think of me. I want to get along with my mother-in-law without hiring a hit man. If you said "yes" to any of these statements, this book is for you. If you're thinking that everyone would want these things, that's because It's Not All About You! was written with a very specific audience in mind: People who want to live happier, more fulfilling lives.Written by a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who's been utilizing the paths to humility in his own personal life and private practice for many years, It's Not All About You! will lead readers to enjoy life more, freeing them from the stress caused by thinking too high, too low, or too often of themselves.

Have you ever met someone that you just couldn't get out of your head? Or immediately disliked someone for no apparent reason? Do you have a longtime friend that you have nothing in common with anymore, but you're still holding onto the friendship? Or do you and your parents continuously fight, never seeing eye-to-eye? Though seemingly different at first glance, all of these people have something in common...they're part of your Soul Family...and they're in your life for a reason. This book is about understanding energy by breaking down the Ego and seeing past perceived "reality." It is about remembering who you are, not by who society dictates you to be, but rather your true nature. And it is about learning to see the lessons shown to you by every person playing a role in your life, navigating more easily through your connections, and remaining non-attached as you heal your traumas. Whether you're struggling with Karmic relationships, Soulmates, Soul Tribe members, or a Twin Flame, Alexx will help guide you through. Utilizing Quantum Physics, String Theory, biology, epigenetics, Samkhya philosophy, energetic healing modalities, astrology, and stories on each Soul Family member, you'll gain a deep comprehension of what lessons you chose to learn in this incarnation, and how they're being presented to you.

Winner of Thinkers50 'World's Most Influential Management Thinkers'Shortlisted for the Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award'Absolutely outstanding' Tim Harford, author of The Undercover Economist'A masterclass' Angela Duckworth, author of Grit'Groundbreaking' ForbesWe used to think of failure as a problem, to be avoided at all costs. Now, we're often told that failure is desirable - that we must 'fail fast, fail often'. The trouble is, neither approach distinguishes the good failures from the bad. As a result, we miss the opportunity to fail well. Here, Amy Edmondson - the world's most influential organisational psychologist - reveals how we get failure wrong, and how to get it right. Drawing on four decades of research into the world's most effective organisations, she unveils the three archetypes of failure - basic, complex and intelligent - and explains how to harness the revolutionary potential of the good ones (and eliminate the bad). Along the way, she poses a simple, provocative question: What if it is only by learning to fail that we can hope to truly succeed?'Lays out a clearer path about how to stop avoiding failure and take smarter risks.'
