Advocates and teachers often find it difficult to communicate the complexities of climate change, because the people they are trying to reach hold so many mistaken assumptions. They assume, for example, that when climate change becomes an obvious threat to our everyday lives, there will still be time enough to make changes that will avoid disaster. Yet at that point it will be too late. Or they assume we can use our current paradigms and policy tools to find solutions. Yet the approaches that caused damage in the first place will cause even more damage in the future. Even the increasingly dire warnings from scientists haven t shaken such assumptions. Is there another way to reach people? The simple, interactive exercises in The Climate Change Playbook can help citizens better understand climate change, diagnose its causes, anticipate its future consequences, and effect constructive change. Adapted from The Systems Thinking Playbook, the twenty-two games are now specifically relevant to climate-change communications and crafted for use by experts, advocates, and educators. Illustrated guidelines walk leaders through setting each game up, facilitating it, and debriefing participants. Users will find games that are suitable for a variety of audiences whether large and seated, as in a conference room, or smaller and mobile, as in a workshop, seminar, or meeting. Designed by leading thinkers in systems, communications, and sustainability, the games focus on learning by doing."

Tempted to Give Up? Here's How to Keep Going
If you browse through the interviews with some of the most successful people on Earth, you'll find one common piece of advice shared by virtually all of them:
They never give up on their big goals.
Research shows that grit is a better predictor for success than any other factor. The ability to keep going despite setbacks is more important than your IQ, character or other external factors like your upbringing or surroundings.
But what does it really mean to "never give up"? What exactly is grit? How do you persevere when faced with larger than life difficulties? How do you keep going when you're at the brink of exhaustion and all your hard work hasn't been rewarded yet?
I wrote this book to explore the subject of persistence from a more scientific point of view than clich self-help sayings. I want to share with you how exactly to stick to your goals according to peak performers and science - not vague motivational advice that assumes we have unlimited strength once we're motivated enough.
Here are just a couple of things you will learn from the book:
- A crucial piece of advice you can learn from the first people who reached the South Pole. If you make the wrong choice, you'll burn out - guaranteed.
- What famous American comic Jerry Seinfeld did in his early days of career to keep going. It's a simple trick that provides huge results.
- What a study on top musicians, athletes, actors and chess players can teach you about achieving results and persistence. The elite performers practice much fewer hours than you believe.
- Five of the most common ways you lead yourself to self-sabotage. Usually, you're not even aware of how many of your efforts go for naught simply because of the five things I discuss in this book.
- According to studies, this one trait is strongly associated with grit and persistence. Learn what it is and how to develop it in five different ways.
- Five focusing questions to keep going. Asking yourself these questions will help you boost your motivation when you're at the brink of giving up.
- How listening to others whining makes a part of your brain shrink and affects your ability to persevere when faced with setbacks.
- Six bestselling authors and bloggers share their best techniques on how to keep going when you want to give up: Stephen Guise (author of "Mini Habits: Smaller Habits, Bigger Results"), Joel Runyon (blogger at ImpossibleHQ.com), Serena Star-Leonard (bestselling author of "How to Retire in 12 Months: Turning Passion into Profit") Derek Doepker (bestselling author of "Why You're Stuck"), Michal Stawicki (bestselling author of "Trickle-Down Mindset: The Missing Element In Your Personal Success"), and Hung Pham (bestselling author of "Break Through: 12 Powerful Steps to Destroy Your Mental Barriers and Achieve Success").
There's no reason why you should give up if you're working on the right goal. Learn how to make sure you'll reach your objectives. Buy the book now.
Описание: How to Build Self-Discipline to Exercise: Discover Proven Strategies to Finally Get in Shape and Exercise on a Regular Basis for the Rest of Your Life
Everywhere you go, you see gyms, videos, and books about exercise, advertising how they can help you get in shape fast and easy. You've probably even put some money down before, vowing that THIS was the year you'd get in shape, lose that extra weight, and become the energetic person you know is hiding inside you. Unfortunately, life happens, and you fall into the habit of "I'll start tomorrow."
Your motivation drops, and your self-discipline fails to push you through to achieve your goals. You begin to make excuses: you'll be really sore after working out, it's been too long since you've last exercised, you don't have willpower, your friends and family tell you to be happy with how you are, you think you're too weak, inflexible or otherwise unfit for exercise, and many more. There was that one time you started a program, but you couldn't keep up with the weekly or monthly goals, so you got frustrated and gave up.
All of that has added up to make you think you're incapable of starting and continuing an exercise program. You're afraid you aren't mentally or physically strong enough, but still hold out the hope that someday a magic pill will change all that.
The magic exists today, but it's not as easy or fast as swallowing a pill. However, it can be simple and enjoyable. How to Build Self-Discipline to Exercise is a concise, practical guidebook on how to introduce and keep exercise in your life. Inside, you'll learn:
- why the most common type of motivation people use to exercise is usually ineffective (and which types of motivation are much stronger)
- the wrong "P" that will lead you to giving up when you face obstacles
- how to overcome procrastination and finally start exercising - including a slightly uncomfortable trick that will ensure you'll get plenty of exercise
- how to find time to exercise despite a hectic schedule (and surprising math that shows you actually lose time when you don't make time for exercise)
- practical tricks and tips to stay motivated forever, even when you encounter obstacles
- how to enjoy exercise while still getting the most powerful benefits of it (hint: if your workout involves "work," it's not a good workout)
- how to prevent injuries, improve recovery, and handle the inevitable muscle soreness so you stick to exercise even if your body acts against you
- how to deal with other people, wrong expectations, and negativity (from both your surroundings and yourself in the form of self-criticism or self-doubt)
When put together and acted upon, the six chapters in this book - supported by over 80 references to scientific studies and credible experts - will help you form a new habit and make one of the most important changes you'll ever make in your life.

- what dopamine is and why it's crucial to understand its role to break your bad habits and form good ones.
- 5 practical ways to train your self-discipline. Discover some of the most important techniques to increase your self-control and become better at resisting instant gratification.

How to Lose Weight and Become Healthy with the Power of Self-Discipline
How often have you tried to lose weight or start eating healthier simply to get frustrated and revert back to your old, bad habits? Is this your first time to try, and friends and family are telling you how difficult it is? What if I told you there are things that can make it easier than you think?
Everyday temptations drain your determination and cause frustrating slip-ups when you're on a diet. You become extremely aware of everything you can't eat, and it seems like everyone else is eating those things right there.
Meanwhile, you look in the mirror or at the number on the scale, and don't see the results promised by the infomercials. Eventually, the temptations chip away at your willpower and "maybe just this once" turns into "whatever, I've already failed." It isn't long before the little weight you lost has made a re-appearance, and possibly brought some friends.
This scenario is too common. Self-Disciplined Dieter has the secrets to change it and break the cycle of dieting, getting frustrated, gaining weight back, and dieting again.
You'll see permanent results while eating what's good for you and feeling more satisfied without totally giving up the foods you love.
Inside, you'll learn:
- how to overcome (or completely remove ) the most common obstacles that can make or break your diet (like being hungry while you're on a diet),
- what daily habits contribute to setbacks and how to replace them with better alternatives to design a healthy lifestyle (just one bad habit can add more than 500 calories a day to your diet),
- how to deal with cravings and temptations (including a morbid, but extremely effective mind trick),
- how to like healthy foods as much as, if not more than, unhealthy foods (it's all about making small changes),
- how to increase satiety to stick to your diet (the right foods can be up to seven times more satiating),
- and how eating healthy can be actually cheaper than eating off a fast food dollar menu (it can be a money saving technique, too).
Inside you won't find the gimmicky "well, duh" tricks so many dieting fads say are the secret to weight-loss. In fact, they aren't tricks at all. The tips inside are scientifically proven (and supported) strategies and tools to lessen the burden on willpower and help you finally reach your weight loss goals.
You want to change your life for the better. Together, we can help you shed off those extra pounds - and keep them off - while shifting your view away from short-term frustrations to long-term results and lifelong health.
