Work Like You Are Showing Off is a brand new book by Joe Calloway, who is pulling no punches as he shares the key factors for creating success. Showing Off - is defined by Calloway, is about creating joy and success for yourself through meaningful giving to others. This book will help you open doors to professional success, while at the same time helping to improve every aspect of your life in the process. Too many people today are living in conflict with their values and their priorities. In other words, the way in which they spend their time is not regularly in alignment with what matters most to them. As a result, they feel sadness, guilt, anxiety and many other negative emotions that are constantly adding weight to their everyday existence. Work Like You're Showing Off Calloway has a unique gift for stating the obvious in such as way as to may you say, “Oh yeah, I get it now.” He tells the old joke: A guy goes into the doctor’s office. He moves his arm back and forth and says, “Doc, it hurts when I do that.” The doctors responds, “So don’t do that.” The point Calloway Another key point to support this notion is that we all tend to see things, not at they are, but as we are. In other words, we automatically impose our own limiting beliefs to a situation before ever giving credit to the fact that there may be many different solutions to a problem, rather than just the one we assume. Some readers may instinctually dismiss the teachings in this book as motivational, power-of-positive-thinking nonsense – but they would be making a serious mistake. This book offers much more and should be given a complete read through. This book is a very quick read as it consists of only 142 pages. The payback for the time invested is very high indeed. The book is broken into 27 very short chapters. - William Shakespeare One of the most insightful chapters is titled “Whatever Happens Is Normal”. Calloway asks the question, “what’s the difference between the person who easily and gracefully handles the unexpected and the person who goes ballistic over the unexpected?” To most people, they might stuggle answering such a question, thinking that the answer would most definitely depend upon countless factors. Calloway simply points out that the person who handles difficult sitations with grace, does so because that’s “normal” for him or her. The same is said for the person who tends to rant and rave, cuss and holler, stomp and spit, everytime the slightly difficulty arises. He reacts in this manner, because it is “normal” for him. He knows not how to thoughtfully respond, only how to emotional react. Calloway points out to the reader that regardless of what he or she considers “normal”, they can benefit greatly by obtaining a higher awareness of their instinctive behavior and take positive steps toward handling difficult situations more professionally, thoughtfully and with a higher level of confidence. - John Milton It’s a fact that most people are not comfortable with not knowing what’s going to happen next. This is another key lesson that is delivered by Calloway. He reminds us that it’s not about knowing what’s going to happen next that is important. Rather, it’s about being okay with knowing that whatever happens next, you can handle it. True words of wisdom. If you can be okay with the simple reality that you will never know what’ve going to happen next, you are well positioned, spiritually and emotionally, to be at your very best when you are called on to respond.
