"Eat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day." - Mark Twain "The better you become at eating a particular type of frog, the more likely you are to just plunge in and get it done." - Brian Tracy "...the first 10 percent of time that you spend planning and organizing your work before you begin will save as much as 90 percent of the time in getting the job done once you get started." - Brian Tracy "Do it now!" - Brian Tracy ***Don't miss out on the profound wisdom found in Brian Tracy's best-selling book, "Eat That Frog!"

Quickly soak up the essence of his deep insight...stop procrastinating now and get more done in less time!*** Book Summary Overview: In this book, Brian Tracy helps readers understand the importance of setting clear goals, managing priorities, and beginning each workday with the most important task. He emphasizes that to become effective a person must write clear goals on paper, list all the tasks required to accomplish each goal, and complete these tasks in their order of importance and sequence. The author concedes that everyone procrastinates, but effective people procrastinate only on trivial tasks. The ability to eat the ugliest frogs first (the most important tasks) is the mark of a high performer. The book is the culmination of the author's personal experiences, as well as a collection of productivity hacks from influential authors in time management and personal development. It contains 21 practical suggestions that anyone can use to increase personal effectiveness and overcome procrastination. The author has applied these strategies to turn himself from a high school dropout to one of the leading personal development authors. Today, more than ever, the world faces the unprecedented crisis of overwhelming opportunities and possibilities. Many people don't get around to accomplishing all they set to do because as they complete one task, new responsibilities come up. In a sense, trying to attend to every option, task or project is like putting an octopus to bed: as soon as you tuck one arm in, two pop out. With so much to be done, the ability to select relevant tasks and complete them swiftly and efficiently is, perhaps, the greatest determinant of success today. Brian Tracy uses the analogy of the frog to emphasize the importance of setting clear priorities and completing essential (and sometimes undesirable) tasks. He reiterates Mark Twain's philosophy on frog-eating: * When the first thing you do in the morning is eat a live frog, you master the courage to face the day because that is probably the worst thing you're ever going to do. * If you must eat a frog, sitting and looking at it for very long will only make the experience worse.* If you have to eat two frogs, start with the ugliest.

Absorb the essence of Anderson Cooper and Gloria Vanderbilt's emotional and thought-provoking work...The Rainbow Comes and Goes. This was one of the most popular reads of 2016, so don't miss out on the opportunity to learn the key takeaways, advice, and unconventional wisdom from this world-class book. With this FastReads's Summary, you will quickly and easily soak up the essence of this touching "love story" between mother and son. Book Summary Overview:The Rainbow Comes and Goes is a story of the bond between a mother and her son, the difficulties of mother-daughter relationships, and the family ties (or lack thereof) that shape us into the adults whom we become. Anderson Cooper and Gloria Vanderbilt are "rich and famous." But that has little bearing on their ability to deliver profound wisdom on life, love, and loss-they have also experienced tragedies, abuses, births, deaths, successes and failures, just like the rest of us. It is an incorrect assumption that just because a person inherits wealth that they will lead a charmed and perfect life from the time they are born to the time they die. The Vanderbilt name evokes a sense of legacy and massive fortunes. During the Gilded age, the Vanderbilts, along with the Rockefellers, Carnegies, and Morgans during that era, were one of the richest families in America. Fast forward to the fourth generation with the birth of Gloria Vanderbilt in 1924, and this is the story of her life told to her son Anderson Cooper. While reading, the story feels like eavesdropping on a private conversation. Intimate and revealing, this book leaves the reader feeling as if you know these people personally. The Rainbow Comes and Goes offers knowledge and introspective wisdom that only old age can bring. Click Buy Now with 1-Click to Own your copy today!

"A recent study suggests that 75 percent of the weight-loss response in obesity is predicted by insulin levels.29 Not willpower. Not caloric intake. Not peer support or peer pressure. Not exercise. Just insulin." - Jason Fung "Carbohydrates should be enjoyed in their natural, whole, unprocessed form. Many traditional diets built around carbohydrates cause neither poor health nor obesity. Remember: the toxicity in much Western food lies in the processing, rather than in the food itself." - Jason Fung "Our weight plateaus and ruthlessly climbs back up to our original body set weight, even as we keep dieting. Clearly, changing what we eat is not always enough." - Jason Fung "Throughout most of human history, obesity has been rare. Individuals in traditional societies eating traditional diets seldom became obese, even in times of abundant food." - Jason Fung "Even the National Cholesterol Education Program admits, "The percentage of total fat in the diet, independent of caloric intake, has not been documented to be related to body weight." - Jason Fung What Will You Learn from Reading This Book?

As each memo or form is completed by a typewriter, it folds itself into an origami rat, which scurries up the appropriate tube to the offices above. Two rats collide and fight, tearing each other apart." MADAM PICQUERY (O.S.) "Whatever it is, one thing's clear - it must be stopped. It's terrorising No-Majs, and when No-Majs are afraid, they attack. This could mean exposure. It could mean war." "PAN AROUND to watch TINA come through the door with NEWT. As they enter, the whole entrance magically transforms from the Woolworth Building to the Magical Congress of the United States of America (MACUSA)." Fun Facts about Fantastic Beasts: The book is set way back in 1926 in New York, and it takes place before any of Harry's adventures J.K. Rowling made her screenplay debut with this book The movie will have four more movies as sequels This book served as a textbook for Harry Potter and many of his friends when they studied at Hogwarts The Niffler - a kleptomaniac shown in the movie - is very similar to Echidnas sans the spines Muggles are known as "No-Majs" in the American version of wizardry Newt's only intention is to save all his creatures from harm Graves is none other than Grindelwald - the man responsible for several mysterious disturbances occurring across the world **Don't miss the first installment of the newest saga in the Harry Potter adventures! J.K. Rowling debuts her first screenplay with "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them." Learn about the world of wizardry in America long before Harry and friends are ever born!*** Screenplay ReviewThe movie Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them serves as a prequel to Harry Potter movies, but unlike the Harry Potter movies that portray innocent children learning about magical creatures, this movie is meant more for the adults. There's no dearth of magical characters in this movie, and even non-wizards aka No-Majs are incredibly interesting, but what makes this movie impeccable is its comic timing. Potterheads will perhaps enjoy Newt's character the most since the gullible magizoologist tries his best to save his creatures from harm. The other characters including Tina, Queenie and Jacob play stellar roles, but several creatures, including the Niffler, are sure to make people watch the movie more than once! Needless to say, the struggle of good versus evil is highlighted well, and although a few scenes may be a tad violent for young fans, it's certainly worth every penny.
