This book actually celebrates the integration of motivational theories, success theories, and wisdom/understanding theories. It is a step-by-step approach on how to start and manage your business, how to plan and budget for your family, and how to become successful as a person. The last chapter contains quotes created by the author that cover all spectrums of life. The book is meant to help you upgrade yourself, upgrade family resources, and upgrade your business. The work is very encouraging and uplifting. It gives insight into problem-solving resources that actually exist, but have been overlooked or taken for granted. It did more than tell one to mow the lawn, for example, without giving the resources like lawn mower or grass cutter to do the job. It shows one how to develop enough personal power and eliminate self-defeating methods of growth and doing business. The fine analysis of the spiritual and the natural settings will compel you to recharge your self-confidence, and boost up your achievement level. Furthermore, this book persuades you to take a hard look at what "success" really means to you and encourages you to motivate your efforts toward reaching a realistic goal. You will develop new strategies for "success", build an unimaginable level of confidence, and elevate your problem-solving and decision-making skills. You will learn how to shape your management style to fit a particular problem that you want to solve, and not basing your approach on some sort of assumed or speculative circumstances. As a matter of fact, the best in you will come out and manifests itself by you new improvements, new ways of thinking, and new ways of doing things. More importantly, the book reminds you, through series of analogical paradigms, that success without wisdom from God in your life is like a water tank with an invisible leak. When you wake up in the morning, the water in your tank is gone and you cannot tell how or why.

The Future Formula is 21 life principles that cross every aspect of every readers' life. They are intended to challenge, provoke, reinforce, and compel the reader to take some action, any action, to first include the principle in their belief system and to then implement that new belief where appropriate. It is not just ideas that leave the reader wondering about how to apply the ideas but it is both idea and recommended application. The Future Formula looks wholly at the individual, the family, and the business knowing that there are Spiritual, Mental, and Physical aspects in each and that without addressing the entire entity, that true significant change is limited. The Future Formula is a reflection of the work Mattox has done with thousands of clients worldwide over the past 15 years and will now reach a much larger audience to create the same level of life changing success.

As a child, Sarah Robb O’Hagan dreamed she could be a champion. Her early efforts failed to reveal a natural superstar, but she refused to settle for average. Through dramatic successes and epic fails, she studied how extraordinary people in sports, entertainment and business set and achieve extremely personal goals. Sarah became an executive at Virgin Atlantic and Nike, and despite being fired twice in her twenties, she went on to become the global president of Gatorade and of Equinox—as well as a wife, mother, and endurance athlete. In every challenging situation, personal or professional, individuals face the pressure to play it safe and conform to the accepted norms. But doing so comes with heavy costs: passions stifled, talents ignored, and opportunities squelched. The bolder choice is to embrace what Sarah calls Extreme You: to confidently bring all that is distinctive and relevant about yourself to everything you do. Inspiring, surprising, and practical, Extreme You is her training program for becoming the best version of yourself.

This new combination volume of three-books-in-one, dealing with the topic of artifacts in behavioral research, was designed as both introduction and reminder. It was designed as an introduction to the topic for graduate students, advanced undergraduates, and younger researchers. It was designed as a reminder to more experienced researchers, in and out of academia, that the problems of artifacts in behavioral research, that they may have learned about as beginning researchers, have not gone away. For example, problems of experimenter effects have not been solved. Experimenters still differ in the ways in which they see, interpret, and manipulate their data. Experimenters still obtain different responses from research participants (human or infrahuman) as a function of experimenters' states and traits of biosocial, psychosocial, and situational origins. Experimenters' expectations still serve too often as self-fulfilling prophecies, a problem that biomedical researchers have acknowledged and guarded against better than have behavioral researchers; e.g., many biomedical studies would be considered of unpublishable quality had their experimenters not been blind to experimental condition. Problems of participant or subject effects have also not been solved. We usually still draw our research samples from a population of volunteers that differ along many dimensions from those not finding their way into our research. Research participants are still often suspicious of experimenters' intent, try to figure out what experimenters are after, and are concerned about what the experimenter thinks of them.

Kentucky’s charismatic coach shares the secrets of creating one of the premiere programs in college basketball, revealing how he transforms a group of former high school superstars into selfless, cohesive teams—including a remarkable squad last year that fell just one game short of a perfect season. Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari is known for his unparalleled ability to recruit the nation’s best young players, some of whom will spend just one year with him before going to the NBA, and convincing them to commit to the team without sacrificing their personal goals. It is a promise he makes to them: "Fully invest in the present—and each other—and I guarantee it will serve your future." Here, for the first time, he distills his team-building methods in ways that apply to CEOs, business owners, coaches, teachers and leaders of all kinds—lessons for anyone seeking to inspire talented individuals to reach for their best selves and contribute to a greater good. A basketball team is an intimate workplace, in which blend is everything and character matters. As such, it is a window into the nature of successful leadership. Calipari views each new team like a startup business—one composed of new players, new relationships, and new challenges. Each season is a series of discoveries as he learns how to unleash the extreme talent in each of his players and mold them into championship material as college basketball comes to a crescendo every spring. While he can’t control everything, he is responsible for everything—just like a CEO. An enlightening look at leadership, management, and team building, Success Is the Only Option offers the keys to winning, on and off the court.
