Look to the East: A Ritual of the First Three Degrees of Freemasonry - Ralph P. Lester Cover Art

Look to the East: A Ritual of the First Three Degrees of Freemasonry

Look to the East: A Ritual of the First Three Degrees of Freemasonry by Ralph P. Lester

This book contains the complete work of the Entered Apprentice, Fellow-craft, and Master-mason's Degrees, along with their ceremonies, lectures, etc. It has doubtless been a matter of comment and surprise among the Members of the Fraternity that all the books which are avowedly intended to serve as guides to the Work of a Lodge invariably contain more or less than their professed object demands. They are usually deficient in the very points that may be most needed, rendering the use of a separate Monitor unavoidable; while, on the other hand, they include a great deal of information on matters with which every Mason is necessarily perfectly familiar, and which it is neither needful nor desirable to be communicated to the uninitiated. It has been the aim of the compiler of this little volume to avoid both these defects: first, by omitting all passwords, grips, and other esoteric subjects; and second, by giving the work of the first three degrees monitorially as well as ritually complete, in plain language for ready reference, and entirely free from the tedious perplexities of cypher or other arbitrary and unintelligible contractions.

The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown A 30-minute Summary

The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown A 30-minute Summary Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are by InstaRead Summaries

With Instaread Summaries, you can get the summary of a book in 30 minutes or less. We read every chapter, summarize and analyze it for your convenience.  This is an Instaread Summary of 'The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are' by Brene Brown. Below is a preview of the earlier sections of the summary: Chapter 1 It is necessary to practice courage, compassion, and connection on a daily basis in order to develop worthiness. It is a mistake to try and win someone over, because it means trading in the sense of self in search of approval from another. By doing this, people stop believing in their own worth. The first step toward living wholeheartedly is for people to have the courage to reach out to others and to share their own stories of shame. When in need of compassion, people should reach out to the right person, someone who supports them whether they are feeling strong or whether they are struggling. When people are willing to reveal that they are imperfect and real, their relationships are strengthened. They make a connection. This is why courage, compassion, and connection are the gifts of imperfection.   Courage is displayed when people are willing to speak honestly and openly about who they are, what they are feeling, and their experiences both good and bad. Courage is about being vulnerable. It takes courage for someone to ask for what he or she needs and to risk disappointment. When one person has courage, it can create a ripple effect, making others around that person a little braver. Compassion is a relationship between two equals. It occurs when people recognize they share humanity with others. The heart of compassion is acceptance by people of themselves and of others. In order for compassion to occur, people need to set boundaries and hold others accountable for their behavior. The key to compassion is being able to separate people from their behaviors. It is necessary to address what people do, not who they are. Connection exists as the energy between people who feel they have been seen, heard, and valued without judgment. People feel strengthened by this relationship and need connection to do well emotionally, physically, spiritually, and intellectually. Connections happen when people both give and receive with an open heart. Chapter 2   Love and belonging are necessary in people’s lives. In order for people to experience love and belonging, they must believe they are worthy. People who accept themselves for who they are and who stop worrying about what others think are worthy of love and belonging. At the heart of wholeheartedness is that people have to believe they are worthy now, as they are, not if or when they become or do something in the future...

Summary of Ego is the Enemy

Summary of Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday Includes Analysis by Instaread

Summary of Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday | Includes Analysis   Preview : Ego Is the Enemy is Ryan Holiday’s attack on the role that ego can play in the lives of most people. Holiday does not use the term “ego” in the traditional Freudian sense but rather as a synonym for excessive self-regard, or egotism. Thanks to the Internet and social media, having an inflated ego is now more encouraged in Western society than ever before. Nevertheless, learning how to cultivate an authentic sense of oneself and one’s abilities is vital for living gracefully and achieving one’s goals. Although history is populated by famous and even notorious egomaniacs, the most influential and successful people were more often those who focused on their life’s work with humility and dedication. Compare, for example, the outsized ego of Napoleon, whose grandiose imperial ambitions ended in shame and exile, with the character of American general William Tecumseh Sherman. After retiring from the military, he refused to run for president...   PLEASE NOTE: This is  key takeaways and analysis  of the book and NOT the original book.   Inside this Instaread Summary of Ego is the Enemy :   •        Overview of the Book •        Important People •        Key Takeaways •        Analysis of Key Takeaways   About the Author With Instaread, you can get the key takeaways, summary and analysis of a book in 15 minutes.

Sell Like Crazy Summary

Sell Like Crazy Summary Sabri Suby - How to Get As Many Clients, Customers and Sales As You Can Possibly Handle - A Comprehensive Summary by Instant-Summary

Sell Like Crazy: How to Get As Many Clients, Customers and Sales As You Can Possibly Handle - A Comprehensive Summary If you are passionate about the sales and marketing world, perhaps you have already met a customer who is difficult to please when it comes to presenting your product or offering your services. It is common to believe that efficiency, which surely identifies you totally, is a guarantee to close sales and business with potential customers. Many times, believing that doing everything right will lead you directly to success is a mentality that stagnates us and generates frustration when we do not perceive the results we want immediately. In the same way, starting in the sales and trade world can be very intimidating and can generate some mistakes at the pace. The most important thing is to maintain the best attitude in the world and not only have a positive mentality, instead create effective strategies that will allow you to avoid the objections that stand in your way or, in the worst case, learn to manage them and not let them hinder your business. This book can help you with the possible objections that any client may face to your proposals and you will acquire a basic understanding of them, since understanding the other is the first step to approach him or her, so reflecting on the needs of your clients and why they might reject you will help you to respond assertively and not do so defensively and inefficiently. Furthermore, it is important to understand that an objection can give us enough information to improve the product or actively convince the client, everything depends on our receptivity to the objection and to the words of the other who is refusing, but who is only exposing his most elementary needs. We must understand that objections are a fundamental element of the daily life of sellers and this has been the case since sales began to position themselves as a professional way from which to receive consistent profits, it has always been so and always will be so, it is part of the job and must be assumed as such. It is impossible to conceive the business of sales without objections, to think this is an unproductive utopia that will not lead to anything good. Behind every objection, there is an opportunity beating and waiting for the seller to take advantage of them. Also, you should think that if your client wasn't directly interested in what you offer, he wouldn't bother to raise objections, that's the introduction to traditional negotiation. Although to be fair, indeed, the customer is not interested in the product as such, but the benefits it can receive from it, that must be the direction of your speech, so you must orient your words in order to convince him, sales are the art of seduction and, although in personal and sentimental life, objections can be indicators of closed doors, sales are indicators of direction, they show you where you should go and how you should only listen attentively to your customer and translate his words in how to attract him to your product. Don't spend hours and hours trying to explain what the product is, defining it won't help you at all, instead, you should focus on articulating what the product does and its practical advantages about the customer in question, the more specific you can be much better. Here is a Preview of What You Will Get: ⁃ A Full Book Summary ⁃ An Analysis ⁃ Fun quizzes ⁃ Quiz Answers ⁃ Etc Get a copy of this summary and learn about the book.

"Dance First. Think Later" 618 Rules to Live By by Kathryn Petras & Ross Petras

Timeless in their wisdom, thought-provoking in their message, surprising in their truth and memorable in their originality, the right words can give direction, inspiration, and sometimes a tangible boost onto the right path. For example, Steve Jobs once read “Stay hungry Stay foolish” on the back cover of The Whole Earth Catalog , and those four words came to guide his life. Created by Kathryn and Ross Petras, connoisseurs of quotes, whose books and calendars have over 56 million copies in print, "Dance First. Think Later." is a collection of the greatest life wisdom from an unexpected group of speakers, doers, and thinkers. There are 618 rules to live by—funny, sly, declarative, thoughtful, offhanded, clever, and always profound: “Watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you, because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.” —Roald Dahl “If everything is under control, you are going too slow.” —Mario Andretti “Never make a credit decision on a beach.” —Victor J. Boschini “Dance first. Think later. It’s the natural order.” —Samuel Beckett “The only time to eat diet food is while waiting for the steak to cook.” —Julia Child “What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight; build it anyway.” —Mother Teresa And: “Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.” —Oscar Wilde

500 Really Useful English Phrases: Intermediate to Fluency - Jenny Smith Cover Art

500 Really Useful English Phrases: Intermediate to Fluency

500 Really Useful English Phrases: Intermediate to Fluency by Jenny Smith

Do You Feel Stuck in the Intermediate English Level? Do you want to break out and start improving quickly? Then this is the perfect book to help you move up to the advanced level and start using everyday English fluently. The 500 phrases in this book will help you make the leap from intermediate to advanced. What made me want to write this book? After years of teaching intermediate students who never seemed to improve I decided to find out what the problem was. Essentially, intermediate students get stuck because learning at this stage is a different type of learning than at the beginner stage. You have mastered the grammar and the basic vocabulary but most textbooks just carry on like nothing has changed. However, what you need at the intermediate stage is not just more dry grammar and lists of vocabulary, but to be exposed to as much 'real' English in as many 'real-life' situations as possible. This will help you start to understand what people are actually saying and not just 'textbook' English. It will also help you to naturally 'get a feel' for the language. Because I could not find a book that introduced everyday English phrases in a fun and engaging way I decided to write one myself. How will this book help you? Every new phrase is introduced in the real context of a short story or an article. So by having fun and reading something interesting you will be learning naturally rather than having to force yourself to study. It's a simple fact that if you are having fun you will learn quicker and more easily. This book is an excellent way to be exposed to 'real everyday English phrases' but with the guidance of clear explanations and examples in simple English. Basically it uses simple language to introduce more complex phrases so you are eased into a more advanced level. All of the phrases in this book are in common use and are the key to unlocking fluency. I have only included phrases which I have heard recently in conversation or on the radio or television. If it is in this book it is in everyday use. So, if you are sick of being stuck and want to improve in a fun and engaging way, this is the perfect solution for you.

Fast This Way - Burn Fat, Heal Inflammation, and Eat Like the High-Performing Human You Were Meant to Be - A Comprehensive Summary Dave Asprey is at it again. He has written another bestseller focusing on fasting and its numerous advantages. He comprehensively analyzes fasting not only from research but from what he has experienced in his own life. The book is a beautiful guide for beginners who want to incorporate fasting into their lifestyle. When people talk of taking a fast, the thing that comes to mind usually is the spiritual aspect common in most religions. That is just one aspect of it, and research now shows why fasting has been constant throughout the millennia. Asprey discloses multi-faceted fasting elements, why, and how to do fasting right in the book. The prologue section begins by analyzing the dynamics between hunger and craving. Asprey shows us how he managed to go for four days without food when he was starting. This was something he had imagined biologically impossible, given his current state of the body. If anything, his body thrived during this conquest, and he was able to conquer his fears and restore the relationship he had with food. His quest to find liberty from his bondage to food was a success. If it worked for him, it would definitely work for you. The key is fasting! The imaginations are all in your brain at the end of the day. More specifically, those irrational thoughts that you will die of starvation if you skip a few meals originate from the amygdala section of the brain. Intermittent fasting gives you complete control of that section of the brain making fasting easy, efficient, manageable, and above all, FUN! Let’s kick it off and see how to work on that brain of yours. Here is a Preview of What You Will Get: ⁃ A Full Book Summary ⁃ An Analysis ⁃ Fun quizzes ⁃ Quiz Answers ⁃ Etc Get a copy of this summary and learn about the book.

Who Moved My Cheese?: An AMazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life

Who Moved My Cheese?: An AMazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life Spencer Johnson - Comprehensive Summary by Instant-Summary

Who Moved My Cheese?: Comprehensive Summary Who moved my cheese is a fable about four characters who live in a maze and they all love cheese. When the cheese disappears, Scurry and Sniff enthusiastically head out into the maze to find new cheese. On the other hand Hem and Haw feel betrayed and complain. They waste their time and energy hoping the old cheese will return. Haw realizes the old cheese won’t return so he sets out into the maze in search for new cheese. He writes what he learns on the walls hoping that Hem will follow him. Eventually he discovers new cheese and sees that Scurry and Sniff were already there. Cheese a metaphor for what you want to have in life. It could be a good job, a loving relationship, money or health. The very core message of the book is this: things constantly change so we must adapt. The quicker we adapt a change the more satisfied will be with. Tim was an author and sold books on Amazon. He got paid $5.00 every time someone bought his book. This was his cheese. He loved his cheese but Amazon made a change to their way of paying authors. They introduced a new program called Kindle Unlimited, where customers could download his book for free. The catch is that he only got paid for the amount of pages that customers read. He didn’t like this. His sales were dropping. He got angry at Amazon for taking his cheese. He spent weeks sending nasty emails to Amazon about why they should give his cheese back and complaining to his friends. Then there was Dave.  Funny, how you sometimes stumble into things that were right in front of your nose, all along. I’ve had this book for 10 years. My uncle gave it to me when I was a kid, it was a leftover copy from somewhere. I briefly looked at it (it was still wrapped), thought it was a “manager’s book” and put it away. I distinctly remember the picture of the cheese slice on the cover, and turned it in my hands a couple times since. Sadly, I never felt intrigued enough to read it. What an idiot I was! This site would probably have existed 5 years earlier, had I read it back then. But there’s no use in crying over spilled milk, so I’ll just make do with what I’ve got and share some of Spencer Johnson’s great lessons about change with you right now. Who Moved My Cheese a parable about two little people and two mice in a maze, searching for cheese, where each character represents a different attitude towards change, with cheese being what we consider success. Here are 3 lessons about cheese and what you should do when someone moves yours: 1. Thinking too much about your cheese might paralyze you, so just start looking. 2. Nothing lasts forever, so keep your eyes open for approaching changes. 3. There’s always new cheese to be found, and the minute you start moving things will get better. Are you ready to become a champion of change? Let’s look for that cheese! If you want to save this summary for later, download the free PDF and read it whenever you want.
