The average American worker spends 156 hours a year engaged in the kind of moderate to intense workplace conflict that adversely impacts both performance and health. Managers spend twenty-six percent of their time addressing and resolving conflicts on their team—the equivalent of chewing up one full workday each week. But what if it didn’t need to be like this? What if there was a way to spend less time in stressfully interpersonal interactions and more time on the things that really matter? Through three decades of building and facilitating team chemistry for Fortune 500 companies, professional sports franchises, schools, government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and families—Drs. Jim Guinn and John Eliot have reduced the time and cost of conflict resolution. With this on-the-ground experience combined with industry-leading science and research, Guinn and Eliot discovered people respond to conflict in one of five ways: avoid, compete, analyze, collaborate, or accommodate.

The secret is knowing which of the five patterns someone is wired to use when smacked by a stressor. How to Get Along with Anyone is a pragmatic hands-on book to help you determine conflict types so you can navigate the arguments that emerge in day-to-day life.

The Attenuating Puritan by Robert McGuiness Amazon.com Robertmcguinessbooks.com Embark on a contemplative journey with our altruistic hero, a reflection of purity in words and deeds, yet occasionally marked by ancestral toxins. With unwavering conviction, he dances under the world's weight, marching into the unknown, his steps marked by hope and staunch faith. Bound by a noble quest to restore the splendor of Eden, his every gesture is a sacrifice, a stride towards the pristine and divine. Amidst adversities, he stands a fortified pilgrim, mastering the shackles of mind and body, emerging as a triumphant victor, a mirror to us all daring to confront our reflections. He is the champion of tainted sacraments, a crusader against the clutches of heavy metal and forever chemicals, hinting that our destinies might be cradled in such hands. As we tread the path of love eternal, each step taken is righteous, a gentle move towards the boundless cosmos that binds us in love. In The Attenuating Puritan, every breath taken is a whisper of attenuation, every quenched thirst a sigh of grace, and every bounty received a step closer to the celestial, encapsulating a tale of hope, resilience, and the ceaseless quest for the divine amidst the terrestrial. Personal Life Robert McGuiness was born on February 8, 1954 in Bayshore, New York. He was the second oldest of five born to Margaret Jean Reidy McGuiness and Robert Eugene McGuiness. He attended school in Smithtown, New York and graduated from Smithtown High School in 1972.

Jewel has blessed us with three grandchildren, and she and her family continue to make the north coast home.

The Force Continuum: How to Shift Your Mindset to Transform Your Life by Wendi Zimmer Wendizimmer.com Amazon.com In this information age, we are inundated with videos, podcasts, websites, social media posts, and many other sources of information that give us strategies and resources to achieve anything we want. From weight loss to learning another language, we don't have to look far to find people telling us what to do. The problem is that no one tells us HOW to achieve more, and we often are not ready to apply the information we receive. We allow our fears and doubts to get in the way and derail our belief in ourselves. To get what we want and to truly transform our lives, we must start by working on ourselves. We all have a power within us that helps us achieve what we want in life. This power is called FORCE, and when used correctly, it can transform who we are, how we view ourselves, and how we achieve what we want. The Force Continuum is a series of four pillars that, when strengthened, allow us to apply the information we already know. When strengthened, the Force Continuum, which consists of our mindset, identity, energy, and habits, gives us permission to believe in ourselves and take control of our lives. If we do not have what we want, or at least not yet, we can narrow the reasons down to at least one of four things. Our mindset: We do not believe we can achieve what we want. Our identity: We are not who we want to be or are not seen as we want and need to be seen. Our habits: We are not actively working to get what we want. Our energy: We are not paying attention to where our energy comes from and where it goes. That's it! Those four components explain why we do or do not get what we want. They make up the force inside us that transforms our lives by increasing our belief in ourselves and our ability to achieve what we want. For some of us, one component may be holding us back. For others, all four may get in our way. All four were holding me back at one time, but not anymore. I discovered a simple system for strengthening my mindset, identity, habits, and energy to unleash the force I had to believe in myself. Now, I want to teach you to do the same-how to believe in yourself to achieve more than you ever thought possible. To be the person YOU have always wanted to be.About the author Wendi Zimmer, PhD, is an expert in mindset development, a professor at Texas A&M University, an avid researcher, and an educational consultant. As an educator for over twenty years, she has used her research and experience to help thousands of people take power over their mindsets, using easy to implement strategies to make this relatively abstract concept of mindset development actionable.

Us gout sufferers have a unique disease that needs a tailor-made diet in order to avoid any worse progression of our gout which can eventually lead to other complications or even premature death. Our disease favors eating more certain type of foods over others but at the end the formula for a healthy diet is the same whether you suffer from gout, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, osteoporosis or any other disease. You’ll learn about that formula in this eBook, how humans are supposed to eat if we want to live a healthy long life and free from gout attacks. The truth of the matter is after I've interviewed doctors, health practitioners, dietitians and others, you’ll find in this eBook how there is no “special” diet and that the diet I outline in detail can also be used by anybody who suffers from diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, osteoporosis, heart disease and even cancer patients! The focus of the book is on gout but many gout patients also suffer from diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, osteoporosis, heart disease and even cancer. And if they are presently not, chances are they eventually will at some point in the future, suffer from one or more of these other diseases. Everything is inter-related and health deteriorates due to bad eating habits. In this book I will dispel some common myths about food and dieting, we will get the facts straight on fat, protein and carbohydrates. I’ll also discuss the truth about curing gout, the BS that is out there and how oil snake salesmen on the web will sell you lies that can lead you to an early grave. I believe that honesty is always the best policy. That’s the reason thousands of you keep coming back to my website goutandyou.com everyday to read up on gout. They may call it the rich man's disease but I will teach you how to eat like a peasant…The key is not to eat like a king but how to eat more like a peasant.

I have to admit the gout diet described in the book is more of a lifestyle change rather than starving yourself, it’s a whole new approach to life too! The truth is that you need to make changes no matter what or else your health will only get much worse. Remember that you are not alone and that more than 8 million Americans suffer from gout and millions more around the globe. In England 2,5% of the general population suffers from this terrible disease. Despite the statistics, gout can strike anyone, anywhere no matter what the age, genetics, health, ethnicity or lifestyle. Although many people will scorn you and even make fun of your gout (like they did to me!) viewing it as your bad drinking or eating habits, the truth is gout can develop due to genetics, obviously diet, menopause in women, obesity, rapid weight loss and many other causes described on my website and book. By eating right and following the gout diet described in this book you’ll save thousands of dollars from expensive drugs, costly doctor consultation fees and unnecessary surgeries taking your life back!
