Passion Is Not Enough by Greg Darley Pdf

Good intentions don't change the world. Ideas alone will change nothing. Desires don't feed the hungry. Ambition won't stop injustice. Enthusiasm alone will not reach the lost. Wishing changes nothing. To change the world, we must have more than passion. WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING "Never before have we seen such a passionate generation of young leaders step up with a desire to change the world. The potential for change is enormous, but Greg is right when he says 'passion is not enough.' I'm excited about this book and what I believe it can do for thousands of passionate young leaders who are looking for next steps." -PETE WILSON, Pastor of Cross Point and Author of Plan B. "Many people want to change the world, but few are willing to do what it takes. I've known Greg for more than a decade and he has a message that today's young leaders need to hear. Passion Is Not Enough is a healthy balance of inspiration and truth. I highly recommend this book." -CLAYTON KING, Author of Dying to Live "I work with passionate world changers all the time who hit a wall of disappointment, discouragement, and their dreams have died. Often they are faced with the hard truth that passion is simply not enough. Greg Darley lays out an insightful and honest guide about how to sustain your vision through both the valleys and mountaintops. If you truly want to scale, grow, and sustain your mission, Passion Is Not Enough is a must-read!" -MIKE FOSTER, People of the Second Chance "Passion without intentional process for implementation will quickly fade away. Too many leaders sit on their passions and ideas for far too long. Greg is an innovative leader who doesn't want to see this continue. His book, Passion Is Not Enough, provides a practical guide with real-life and real-time principles to inspire anyone who actually wants to live out their dreams." -CHARLES LEE, CEO of !deation Consultancy "You've got an idea that could change the world. Now what? Passion Is Not Enough will help you build the necessary foundation to move forward. This is not a ten-step program to change the world. This is sound advice that will give you encouragement on the difficult road to changing the world." -JUD WILHITE, Author, Throw It Down and Senior Pastor of Central Christian Church Las Vegas

Above all, he inspires us to reconnect with our true self - it could just change everything. 'The Element offers life-altering insights about the discovery of your true best self' Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People 'A book that lightens and lifts the minds and hearts of all who read it' Susan Jeffers, author of Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway

Passion for Work by Robert J. Vallerand,Nathalie Houlfort Pdf

Passion is a pervasive concept in the work domain. Workers aspire to be passionate in the hope of finding meaning and satisfaction from their professional life, while employers dream of passionate employees who will ensure organizational performance. Does passion for work matter ? Does passion invariably bring about the anticipated positive outcomes or is there a darker side to passion for work that can also lead to negative outcomes for individuals and organizations? The goal of this book is to address these issues. This volume reviews major theories of work passion, focusing specifically on the dominant theory: the Dualistic Model of Passion. This theory distinguishes between two types of passion-harmonious and obsessive- and their associated determinants and consequences. This volume provides a comprehensive understanding of passion for work by addressing the origin of the concept and its theoretical issues: how can passion for work be developed, what are the consequences to be expected at the individual and organizational levels, and how can passion for work shed new light on contemporary issues in the workplace. Passion for Work: Theory, Research, and Applications synthesizes a vast body of existing research in the area, provides insights into new and exciting research avenues, and explores how passion for work can be cultivated in work settings in order to fulfill both workers' and employers' hopes for a productive and satisfying work life.

The Psychology of Passion by Robert J. Vallerand Pdf

Winner of the 2017 APA William James Book Award The concept of passion is one we regularly use to describe our interests, and yet there is no broad theory that can explain the development and consequences of passion for activities across people's lives. In The Psychology of Passion, Robert J. Vallerand presents the first such theory, providing a complete presentation of the Dualistic Model of Passion and the empirical evidence that supports it. Vallerand conceives of two types of passion: harmonious passion, which remains under the person's control, and obsessive passion, which controls the person. While the first typically leads to adaptive behaviors, the obsessive form of passion leads to less adaptive and, at times, maladaptive behaviors. Vallerand highlights the effects of these two types of passion on a number of psychological phenomena, such as cognition, emotions, performance, relationships, aggression, and violence. He also discusses the development of passion and reviews a range of literature on passion for activities.

The Passion Paradox by Brad Stulberg,Steve Magness Pdf

The coauthors of the bestselling Peak Performance dive into the fascinating science behind passion, showing how it can lead to a rich and meaningful life while also illuminating the ways in which it is a double-edged sword. Here’s how to cultivate a passion that will take you to great heights—while minimizing the risk of an equally great fall. Common advice is to find and follow your passion. A life of passion is a good life, or so we are told. But it's not that simple. Rarely is passion something that you just stumble upon, and the same drive that fuels breakthroughs—whether they're athletic, scientific, entrepreneurial, or artistic—can be every bit as destructive as it is productive. Yes, passion can be a wonderful gift, but only if you know how to channel it. If you're not careful, passion can become an awful curse, leading to endless seeking, suffering, and burnout. Brad Stulberg and Steve Magness once again team up, this time to demystify passion, showing readers how they can find and cultivate their passion, sustainably harness its power, and avoid its dangers. They ultimately argue that passion and balance--that other virtue touted by our culture--are incompatible, and that to find your passion, you must lose balance. And that's not always a bad thing. They show readers how to develop the right kind of passion, the kind that lets you achieve great things without ruining your life. Swift, compact, and powerful, this thought-provoking book combines captivating stories of extraordinarily passionate individuals with the latest science on the biological and psychological factors that give rise to—and every bit as important, sustain—passion.

From Passion to Peace (Annotated with Biography about James Allen) by James Allen Pdf

The first three parts of this book, "Passion, Aspiration, and Temptation," represent the common human life, with its passion, pathos, and tragedy. The last three parts, Transcendence, Beatitude, and Peace, represents the Divine Life—calm, wise and beautiful—of the sage and Savior. The middle part, Transmutation, is the transitional stage between the two; it is the alchemic process linking the divine with the human life. Discipline, denial, and renunciation do not constitute the Divine State; they are only the means by which it is attained. The Divine Life is established in that Perfect Knowledge which bestows Perfect Peace. This version of the classic book includes a biography about the life and times of James Allen.
