Chris Janssen’s Grace Yourself is a guide for anyone struggling with addiction to move beyond self-limiting behavior into a life of fullness and freedom.

Get crystal clear on what you want and why you want it.
Identify limiting beliefs keeping you stuck.
Create sustainable narratives that serve you and your goals.
This is a book for recovering sobriety after relapse, recovering perfectionists, and for anyone who desires to release controlling thoughts.

From Gary Shapiro, New York Times bestselling author and head of CES and the Consumer Technology Association, a manifesto for today’s top executives, entrepreneurs, and leaders: pivot or die.
As CEO of the Consumer Technology Association ®, owner and producer of CES ®, Gary Shapiro has had a front row seat to the launch of nearly every recent major technology.

Along the way, Shapiro offers a “pivot” framework for leaders in technology and beyond to stay flexible and agile:
The startup pivot: how startups can shake up industries and maximize the advantage of new ideas
The forced pivot: adapting to the unforeseeable (or simply unforeseen) and meeting shifting consumer demands
The failure pivot: why failure can deliver better lessons than success and how to take those lessons forward
The success pivot: Beating the market by seizing opportunity and out-pivoting your competitors
In laying out each of these pivots, Shapiro shares unique lessons on how leaders can change minds and mindsets and steer their organizations to success in an increasingly competitive environment.
