Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2011, having found success in his real estate business, Aaron felt stagnant and bored in his business and life. Then one night during a month long struggle with a painful sore throat he had an epiphany. He found that by using each painful swallow as a reminder to express gratitude he was able to transcend emotional lethargy into a euphoric state of joy. A shift occurred that night in his mind which infused him with a deep enthusiasm and passion for life. Aaron discovered how to live a truly amazing life regardless of all circumstances and from then on stopped having bad days altogether. Instead, he woke up thrilled to be alive every day. This led him to create the company Truly Amazing Life, Inc. with the purpose of teaching people that This Is A Truly Amazing Life and There Is No Bad Day. Aaron's passion for living gave him the desire to help others learn to live a Truly Amazing Life also, despite any and all circumstances they find themselves in. Then on July 29, 2012, triggered by the stress of his fourth child's birth the day prior, Aaron's body was overtaken and progressively ravaged by the chronic bowel disease Ulcerative Colitis. As he experienced massive amounts of pain and suffering, every belief he had begun teaching was thrown into a furnace to be destroyed or refined. Through months of painful despair and questioning everything, Aaron's beliefs were put through the ultimate test. He lost 50 pounds in 3 months of deterioration and weighed only 128 lbs. at 6'2" tall, barely able to stand, and quickly starving to death. Will Aaron's convictions withstand this ultimate test? Can he truthfully say There Is No Bad Day?

Book excerpt: The DNA of business has changed. Forever. You can blame technology, smartphones, social media, online shopping and everything else, but nothingchanges this reality: we are in a moment of business purgatory. So, what are you going to do about it? Mitch Joel, one of the world's leading experts in new media, warns that the time has come to CTRL ALT DELETE. To reboot and to start re-building your business model. If you don't, Joel warns, not only will your company begin to slide backwards, but you may find yourself unemployable within five years. That's a very strong warning, but in his new book, CTRL ALT DELETE, Joel explains the convergence of five key movements that have changed business forever. The movements have already taken place, but few businesses have acted on them. He outlines what you need to know to adapt right now. He also points to the seven triggers that will help you take advantage of these game-changing factors to keep you employable as this new world of business unfolds. Along the way, Joel introduces his novel concept of "squiggle" which explains how you can learn to adapt your personal approach to your career, as new technology becomes the norm. In short, this is not a book about "change management" but rather a book about "changing both you AND your business model."
