Figuring
Out People: Reading People Using Meta-Programs
Author(s): Bob G. Bodenhamer; L. Michael Hall
Published: 4/1/2007
Format: Softcover
In this newly reformatted (2006) and updated volume, discover the magic
of Meta-Programs as perceptual lens and the power of figuring out where
others are coming from. Everyday we spend time mind-reading and second-guessing
the people with whom we live, work, associate, negotiate, parent, and
love. We guess at their intentions, motives, future actions, beliefs,
and more.
Figuring Out people takes the reader far beyond mere personality typing to being able to recognize and work with each person’s uniqueness. Each meta-program provides another way in which we differ as well as another way to create meta-rapport for closer relationships and more in depth understanding and appreciation.
Building on the NLP model of personally and meta programmes, this text
focuses not on what people are but how they function.
"Unique... an outstanding contribution to this area which lies at
the heart of NLP." - Wyatt Woodsmall Ph.D.

First, Break All The Rules
Author(s): Curt Coffman; Marcus Buckingham
Published: 6/20/2005
Format: Softcover
Great managers do not help people overcome their weaknesses. They do not
believe that each person has unlimited potential. They do play favourites
and they break the 'Golden Rule' book everyday. This amazing book explains
why great managers break all the rules of conventional wisdom. The front-line
manager is the key to attracting and retaining talented employees. No
matter how generous its pay or how renowned its training, the company
that lacks great, front-line managers will suffer. Great managers are
the heroes of this book. Vivid examples show how, as they select, focus,
motivate and develop people, great managers turn talent into performance.
Finally, the authors have distilled the essence of good management practice
into twelve simple questions that work to distinguish the strongest departments
of a company from all the rest. This book is the first to present this
essential measuring stick and to prove the link between employee opinions
and productivity, profit, customer satisfaction, and the rate of turnover.

What the Bleep Do We (K)now
Director: Betsy Chasse; Marc Vicente; William Arntz
Actor(s): Armin Shimerman; Barry Newman; Elaine Hendrix; John Ross Bowie;
Marlee Matlin; Robert Bailey Jr
Format: DVD
What The Beep Do We Know!? is a new type of film. It is part documentary, part story, and part animations. The protagonist, Amanda (Marlee Matlin), finds herself in a fantastic 'Alice in Wonderland' experience when her daily, uninspired life literally begins to unravel, revealing the uncertain world of the quantum field hidden behind what we consider to be our normal, waking reality.
She is literally plunged into a swirl of chaotic occurrences, while the characters she encounters on this odyssey reveal the deeper, hidden knowledge she doesn't even realize she has asked for. Like every hero, Amanda is thrown into crisis, questioning the fundamental premises of her life - that the reality she has believed in about how men are, how relationships with others should be, and how her emotions are affecting her work isn't reality at all!
As Amanda learns to relax into the experience, she conquers her fears, gains wisdom, and wins the keys to the great secrets of the ages, all in the most entertaining way. She is then no longer the victim of circumstances, but she is on the way to being the creative force in her life. Her life will never be the same.
The fourteen top scientists and mystics interviewed in documentary style serve as a modern day Greek Chorus. In an artful filmic dance, their ideas are woven together as a tapestry of truth. The thoughts and words of one member of the chorus blend into those of the next, adding further emphasis to the film's underlying concept of the interconnectedness of all things.
The chorus members act as hosts who live outside of the story, and from this Olympian view, comment on the actions of the characters below. They are also there to introduce the Great Questions framed by both science and religion, which divides the film into a series of acts. Through the course of the film, the distinction between science and religion becomes increasingly blurred, since we realize that, in essence, both science and religion describe the same phenomena.
The film employs animation to realize the radical knowledge that modern science has unearthed in recent years. Powerful cinematic sequences explore the inner-workings of the human brain. Quirky animation introduces us to the smallest form of consciousness in the body - the cell. Dazzling visuals reinforce the film's message in an exciting, powerful way. Done with humor, precision, and irreverence, these scenes are only part of what makes this film unique in the history of cinema.

Rich Dad, Poor Dad
Author(s): Robert T. Kiyosaki; Sharon L Lechter
Published: 9/1/2001
Format: Softcover
Robert Kiyosaki reveals how he developed his unique economic perspective
from his two fathers: his real father, who was highly educated but fiscally
poor; and the father of his best friend - an eighth-grade drop-out who
became a self-made multi-millionaire. The lifelong monetary problems experienced
by his "poor dad" pounded home the counterpoint communicated
by his "rich dad". Taking that message to heart, Kiyosaki was
able to retire at the age of 47. This book lays out his philosophy and
aims to open readers eyes by: exploding the myth that you need to earn
a high income to be rich; challenging the belief that your house is an
asset; showing parents why they can't rely on schools to teach their children
about money; defining once and for all an asset versus a liability; and
explaining what to teach your children about money for their future financial
success.

Flow Quadrant: Rich Dad's Guide to Financial Freedom
Author(s): Robert T. Kiyosaki
Published: 8/16/2004

Subtitled 'Rich Dad's Guide to Financial Freedom', this book is about
choosing new options, new directions and a new financial future.
THE CASHFLOW QUADRANT will reveal why some people work less, earn more,
pay less in taxes, and feel more financially secure than others. It is
simply a matter of knowing which quadrant to work from and when. Have
you ever wondered: * What the difference is between an employee and a
business owner? * Why some investors make money with little risk while
most other investors just break even? * Why in the Industrial Age most
parents wanted their children to become medical doctors, accountants or
attorneys...and why in the Information Age those professions are under
financial attack? Have you noticed that many of the brightest graduates
from our universities want to work for college dropouts...dropouts such
as Bill Gates of Microsoft, Richard Branson of Virgin Industries, Michael
Dell of Dell Computers, Ted Turner of CNN? Dropouts who today are the
mega-rich of society. This book will answer some of these questions and
also assist in guiding you in finding your own path to financial freedom
in a world of ever increasing financial change.
