Book excerpt: Your comfort zone is NOT the danger zone! This paradigm-shifting guide shows you how to harness the power of joy, creativity, and ease to create the foundation for building your best life. Get ready to forget everything you’ve ever been told about the “comfort zone.” It’s not a place where you sit complacently because you can’t be bothered to take action. It’s not a barrier blocking you from the life of your dreams. Instead, it’s the truest source of growth, possibility, and joy—and it’s within your reach with help from an expert guide. As the founder and CEO of The Power of Positivity, an online community with more than 50 million followers worldwide, Kristen Butler has spent over a decade examining the elements of a life well lived and the paths that get us there. Her book blows the lid off the idea that anxiety and stress are necessary ingredients for success—and shows you how a state of ease instead of constant effort holds the key to unlocking your full potential. In thoughtful lessons, exercises, and personal stories, you’ll discover: · The Three Zones of Living—Complacent, Survival, and Comfort—and what determines which one you are living in right now · The Create from Comfort Process—including clearing a safe internal space as a foundation for self-expression and joy, defining the expanded life you wish to live, and acclimating to even your wildest desires in ways that are natural and easy · Relationship Tools—including maneuvering luminary and gloominary relationships, turning competitors into compellers, and defining clear boundaries · Mindset Tools (that really work!)—including examining and replacing limiting beliefs, using mantras, affirmations, and power stances to create internal balance, entering the flow state at will, and developing empowering mental habits · And much more “You will never achieve success faster and with less effort than when you are in your Comfort Zone,” Kristen writes. “By living inside of my Comfort Zone, I’ve achieved more success than I thought was possible, and I’ve done it without feeling overworked or compromising who I am. Now it’s your turn.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Danger in the Comfort Zone examines the phenomenon of the "entitlement" mentality in the American workforce -- people's preoccupation with their rewards rather than their responsibilities. Bardwick describes three basic mindsets and shows the effect of each on individuals and their organizations: * Entitlement -- people feel entitled to rewards and lethargic about having to earn them; motivation and job satisfaction are low * Fear -- people are paralyzed; the threat of layoffs makes them focus on protecting their jobs rather than doing them well * Earning -- people are energized by challenge; they know their accomplishments will be noticed -- and rewarded In this paperback edition, Bardwick points out that although the "fear" element has undoubtedly grown in the last few years, the entitlement attitude is still firmly entrenched at all levels. She offers additional chapters with new, specific techniques for pulling people out of the quagmire of fear and complacency, and igniting them with the energy of true earning.

Book excerpt: They were mostly inexperienced campers, "raising their hands" to take a big risk, exchanging their comfortable lives for a difficult week of mountaineering. Over 135 college students and alumni tell stories and share memories of teamwork and testing, disappointment and triumph. They pushed their limits, believed in themselves, and took time for personal reflection. Sometimes pain -- sore muscles, altitude sickness, and frozen toes -- seemed insurmountable. Yet in memory, overcoming physical challenges remains a source of great satisfaction. Persisting when they most want to quit teaches young people to think big. Exhaustion and discomfort can be dispelled by camaraderie and humility. In their futures, finding solutions to tough problems will require truly exceptional leadership. Whether they are called to lead, asked to lead, or forced to lead, all who dared those summits will be better prepared to meet any challenge they will face.

To feel genuinely happy, positive, and fulfilled? The answer may be simpler than you think. "This book will change the way you think about growth and comfort forever!" — Lewis Howes, New York Times best-selling author of The School of Greatness In this paradigm-shifting book, Kristen Butler, creator of Power of Positivity—an online community with 50+ million people globally—reveals a surprising secret: in a world full of self-sabotaging beliefs, the gateway to a life you truly love is found in the last place you'd think. It's situated safely in your Comfort Zone. No matter what you've been told, your comfort zone is NOT your danger zone. It's not the place where dreams spiral down and die. It's the opposite. Kristen knows this firsthand. From a state of deep and chronic discomfort—at one point experiencing panic attacks so severe she couldn’t get out of bed—she transformed a life of merely surviving into a life of truly thriving. In these pages, she shares how you, too, can find the key to: · self-love and self-esteem · feeling genuinely happy · overcoming fear and inaction · a mindset of gratitude, abundance, and success · healthier boundaries in relationships · stop cycles of burnout and start cycles of balance Your comfort zone is not a static place where nothing grows. In fact, your growth depends on how fully you thrive in it. And The Key to Positivity unlocks the door to this inner sanctuary. Kristen gives you practical and research-based tools to help inspiration meet ease, creativity flow effortlessly, growth happen naturally, and positive emotions run freely. She leads you back to what's comfortable and natural for you to create a life you love with less stress and more flow. It's time to claim your best life now!
