A Guy Like Me
Summary
The John Scott story is the ultimate underdog narrative in sports during 2016 when Scott - in the twilight of his career - went from a joke All-Star fan-voted nominee to scoring two goals and winning the All-Star Game's MVP title. This is his heartwarming story about an average Joe who became a sports superhero overnight. Known as a willing-and-able fighter and bruiser in the league, John Scott was a surprising and tongue-and-cheek nominee for the 2016 NHL All-Star Game. He'd been in the league for over eight NHL seasons, playing for teams such as the Wild, Blackhawks, Rangers, Sabres, and the Sharks. Scott's best attribute as an NHL player was dropping his gloves - never the best player, the 260 pounder did become the most feared fighter in the NHL, racking up extensive penalty minutes. In order to prevent him from playing in the game, his current team - the Phoenix Coyotes - traded Scott to the Montreal Canadians, who demoted him to the AHL team in an attempt to disqualify him from playing in the All-Star Game. Fans were outraged and Scott was devastated. He'd been downgraded in his job - forced to relocate while his wife was pregnant with twin girls. But the fans wouldn't back down and insisted the NHL let Scott play in the game. The league relented, and Scott not only was invited to attend the NHL game in Nashville, but was nominated a team captain. The media and sports fans at large fell in love with the giant six-foot-eight player who by all means, was just a normal guy and no superstar player. In a true Cinderella story, Scott scored two goals and was the All-Star Game's MVP. This is his personal memoir - detailing his life growing up and how he was able to keep his sense of humor and become the ultimate Cinderella-Story of hockey.

Change Your Brain and Stop Procrastination
Summary
Do you want to reprogram your brain to be more productive and stop procrastinating? You have come to the right place! If you find it hard to stick to your timelines and always find yourself having to work under pressure because of deadlines due to procrastination, you are not alone! It’s just a commonly unavoidable activity which people just allow to take over their lives. Did you know that about 20 percent of the population admits that they procrastinate often? This lack of immediacy has also influenced the fast-paced environment you’re now in. Some people procrastinate because they know technology can aid them in finishing certain things quickly. Instead of doing research for several hours in the library, they can just surf the internet for half an hour. Procrastination won’t and can’t just be beaten in one day because it’s a habit. You have to remember that the longer you don’t procrastinate, the greater the probability is for you to break this unhealthy and unhelpful habit permanently. Procrastination can be defeated with the right mind-set and with the will to finish something. If you want to learn how to think critically, you have to realize that we are responsible for our attitudes because the power to decide our perspective, our thoughts, and our mood is in our hands. Having an open mind to other interpretations can help us identify the exact problem and analyze it to come up with several possible solutions. Brainstorming is the key to achieve that because it helps you avoid forming quick conclusions and when you come up with several possible solutions, makes it easier for you to find the ultimate one. Just by doing that, you’re one step forward in developing knowledge in critical thinking or problem-solving, but, as always, it takes time, practice, and perseverance. An individual is able to achieve anything they set their mind to in life if they are focused and determined. The majority of the times, people tend to become distracted with negative thoughts that come from within. These negative thoughts are a manifestation of a lack of self-confidence they have in their credibility or their ideas. This is why it is imperative to first believe in yourself, as doing so can cause great feats to be manifested. It is important to note that this determination is not something that comes easily. If you want to achieve notable success in your life, then it is important to train your brain to focus more on your future objective and goal. As the general theme of this section states, without focus, there is no way one can achieve their goals or aspirations successfully. When one is motivated, they are able to remain focused on the path, regardless of any distractions or obstacles that they encounter. In this audiobook, we will discuss the following topics: What is Procrastination? Reasons Why We Procrastinate The Why and How of Breaking Big Projects into Smaller Ones Building a Perfect Time Management Plan Tricks to Get Things Done in Less Time Four Goals for Critical Thinking: Self Direction, Self-Discipline, Self-Monitoring, Self-Correction Hyperfocus Building Healthy Work Habits Improving Your Memory and Cognitive Ability And many more!

Mental Toughness
Summary
Three books in one Do you want to build emotional strength and resilience? Are you held back from achieving your life goals by lack of self-confidence and self-esteem? Are you looking for help to boost your self-confidence? You have come to the right place! Self-esteem is your valuation of yourself. You look at yourself, and you come up with all sorts of judgments. You come up with this story or personal narrative of your value as a person, your place in the world, and your worth. Are you worth sacrificing for? Are you worth much of anything? How important are you? These are questions of self-esteem. These are value questions and you yourself put value on yourself. Let's put it this way, if you think you are a complete failure, then you'd start acting like a person who is prone to fail. You start acting like a person who doesn't have much value, someone who doesn't respect himself or herself. Self-confidence is all about the signals you send to the rest of the world as to how it should interpret you and value you. As you could probably already tell, self-confidence and self-esteem are joined at the hip; they flow from the same place. While one is purely internal, the other is external and public. This is what leads to confusion. A lot of people think that they're one and the same. They do come from the same place, but self-esteem is purely internal. Now, let's put it this way: People might think you're a success. People might think that you're rich, powerful, and amazing. These are all external judgments. However, if you think that you are worthless and a pile of trash, no external validation is ever going to make your self-esteem issues go away. Self-esteem, after all, is inner valuation of your worth, and it fits a personal narrative about your value, your place in the world, your worth and your importance. In this book, we will discuss the following topics: What is self-confidence? Action and strategies that help to develop self confidence Develop your beliefs and your thoughts. Setting goals and to do action. Fight your fears. The effects of low self-confidence and Benefits of high self confidence Barriers of self confidence Improve your decision. Your actions are directed by your beliefs, even if your beliefs are incorrect, and your actions shape your life. This has been understood for a long time and published research continues to support this conclusion. Some of the more recent publications note that you can reprogram your brain to positively affect your behavior at any age. These publications mean that it does not matter how long you have lived with low self-confidence; you can change it at any time. It takes time, courage, and effort, but it is possible! Do we have your attention now? Are you excited? Look no more! Download our book now and know everything about building self-confidence, self-esteem, and habits for success!
