All It Takes Is a Goal: The 3-step Plan to Ditch Regret and Tap into Your Massive Potential

When New York Times bestselling author Jon Acuff got curious about tapping into his full potential, he launched a research study with Dr. Mike Peasley. They asked more than three thousand people if they felt they were living up to their full potential. Fifty percent of people reported that 50 percent of their full potential is untapped. That means half of us are walking around with half-lives. No wonder Twitter is so grumpy. Imagine if every Christmas you only opened up half your gifts. You could see the rest—a whole pile of them in the corner of the room—but you never got to open them. Would that make for a happy Christmas, a happy house, a happy job, a happy anything? It wouldn’t, but what if it didn’t have to be that way? What if you could have a fulfilling career? What if you could enjoy a thriving marriage and strong friendships? What if you could be in the greatest shape of your life? What if each day felt like a gift and each year progressively got better? What if you could use a single piece of paper to learn from your past, enjoy your present, and prepare your future? What if you could escape the Comfort Zone, avoid the Chaos Zone, and live inthe Potential Zone? That would be the best. And what if all it takes is a goal?

The Ride of a Lifetime: Lessons in Creative Leadership from the CEO of the Walt Disney Company

Brought to you by Penguin. The CEO of The Walt Disney Company shares the ideas and values he has used to reinvent one of the most beloved companies in the world, and inspire the people who bring the magic to life. In 2005, Robert Iger became CEO of The Walt Disney Company during a difficult time. Morale had deteriorated, competition was more intense, and technology was changing faster than at any time in the company's history. 'I knew there was nothing to be gained from arguing over the past,' Iger writes. 'The only thing that mattered was the future, and I believed I had a clear idea of the direction Disney needed to go.' It came down to three clear ideas: 1) Create the highest quality content Disney could produce. 2) Embrace and adopt technology instead of fighting it. And 3) Think bigger--think global--and turn Disney into a stronger brand in international markets. Twelve years later, Disney is the largest, most respected media company in the world counting Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, and 21st Century Fox among its properties. Its value is nearly five times what it was when Iger took over, and Iger is recognized as one of the most innovative and successful CEOs of our time. Now, he's sharing the lessons he's learned while running Disney and leading its 200,000 employees--taking big risks in the face of historic disruption; learning to inspire the people who work for you; leading with fairness and communicating principles clearly. This book is about the relentless curiosity that has driven Iger for forty-five years, since the day he started as a studio supervisor at ABC. It's also about thoughtfulness and respect, and a decency-over-dollars approach that has become the bedrock of every project and partnership Iger pursues, from a deep friendship with Steve Jobs in his final years to an abiding love of the evolving Star Wars myth. 'Over the past fourteen years, I think I've learned so much about what real leadership is,' Iger writes. 'But I couldn't have articulated all of this until I lived it. You can't fake it--and that's one of the key lessons in this book.'
