Wanting More: The Challenge of Enjoyment in the Age of Addiction
Mark D. Chamberlain - 2000
We often view it as a signal to pick up the pace; to try more extreme activities, buy more "goodies," or throw over old relationships. Strangely, though, it seems that the harder we pursue satisfaction, the more elusive it becomes. We get caught in a downward spiral, acquiring more and more and enjoying it less and less. Wanting More shows how to reverse that trend so that we can appreciate and enjoy life to the fullest. It's a compelling look at time-honored principles of self-control, patience, and increased awareness and how they can work for anyone, regardless of the person's circumstances. As author Mark Chamberlain writes, "The good news - the great news - is that we are not dependent for pleasure on the raw material in our lives. Enjoyment, I have discovered, is up to us."

Don't Give Your Work Away For Free
Thaddeus Cooper - 2014
In this linear construct, you go to work for a week and at week’s end you are compensated for that work. The next week you do more work and are compensated for that work, and so on. This is a common agreement between employers and employees in many countries, including the United States. The purpose of this book is to challenge that construct. It is the author's intent to suggest a more profitable arrangement for the creator of the product — the worker. The notion is that one could work on a project for a certain amount of time but the product of that project could pay dividends for a longer term. One might work for a week and be paid for the product of that work every week for many years. Imagine how this construct would compound income week after week, project after project. At some point, with numerous streams of income from a growing number of completed projects, one would be able to discontinue taking on new projects if he or she desired, living off the residuals of the projects he or she created to that point. Indeed, one could take a vacation, still earning income from work he or she completed long ago. With the help of Dr. Frederick Von Greensburg, Thaddeus Cooper breaks down the concept of passive income and outlines a strategy for creating streams of this revenue to supplement or replace traditional income. A self-help book for the masses and a manifesto for the most creative among us, Don't Give Your Work Away For Free: A free ebook by Thaddeus Cooper is a MUST READ!
