"In this biography, Dave Werklund tells how he grew up on a farm, left school in Grade 9, and then built a multi-billion-dollar business in Alberta to clean up oil waste and pollution.

Yet like everyone in the Alberta oil business, Werklund has faced disaster and had to find a way out."
"How can I get motivated when my mental energy feels like … mush?
Life insists we do things like:
- Get out of bed.
- Study for exams.
- Show up for work.
- Think about exercise.
- Make sales calls.
The list goes on and on. There are so many mind-numbing things we know we should do, but our minds and bodies say, “No!” So what do we really need?
How about strategies we can actually use?
Instead of feeling defeated and sluggish, we can take iron-fisted control of our minds and get motivated in less than 60 seconds.
We can struggle, feel guilty, and fight motivation fatigue for the rest of our lives, or we can learn how to be smarter than our unmotivated brains.
Life is short. Let’s feel motivated to do what we have to do.
No need to suffer. Let our minds work for us, instead of against us."
"What is the impact of a coach who is curious in who you are and what you know, helps you discover your best talents, and then expects you to use them, holding you accountable for bringing your best to what you do?

"Will pressing the elevator button three times put it into “faster mode?” Did we break the secret elevator code? No.
We all look for ways to break the “hidden codes” in our lives. Why? To better understand our world. Or maybe to discover shortcuts.
It is the same when we try to understand our brains and the brains of our prospects. We wonder:
- Why does my brain work against me?
- What is my brain doing while I am not paying attention?
- How do I break through the irrational defenses of my prospects?
- What can I say to get through to prejudiced prospects?
- Can I do something to change other people’s minds?
- How can I understand my own irrational brain?
It is hard to play the game if we don’t know the rules.
Our brains operate in strange ways, but many of these quirks are consistent. We can learn some of these special brain rules and work with them. If we don’t, we’ll simply walk away muttering, “I just don’t get it. Nothing makes sense.”
So instead of cursing the darkness, enjoy learning new and better ways to understand how we and our prospects think and act. We will smile as we learn how to deal with the 3-pound challenges inside our skulls.
And the bonus? We will recognize these irrational brain rules as they play out in real life. With knowledge comes power.

"This is the one thing we can control.
- We can change our mindsets in one second.
- There is no cost. It’s free to do.
- The world responds, giving us better results.
Instead of letting our mindsets control us, here is our chance to determine our future.
Our first surprise is that nature gives us a negative mindset. We have programs that fear everything. Nature wants us to survive. Surviving is good, but achieving is great.
And what about others? Can they affect our mindsets? Certainly, if we let them. This book gives us the tools to take control of our minds. Why be victims when we can be victors?
Not only can we use these mindset skills for our personal success, but we can also change the mindsets of others. We can put our groups on the path to more positive outcomes and growth.
What is magical about changing our mindsets?
Other people can detect our mindsets and will react to them. This is how we can affect the outcomes in our lives. So even before we help others change their mindsets, our personal mindsets give us a big head start toward our goals.
Why wouldn’t we change our mindsets? Because we don’t know how.
Let’s learn the precise skills to make this happen."

"In this audiobook, D. G. Hart investigates what was at stake in the sixteenth century and why Protestantism still matters. Of note is the author's recognition that the Reformers addressed the most basic question that confronts all human beings: How can a sinner be right with and worship in good conscience a righteous God who demands sinless perfection? Protestants used to believe that this question, along with the kind of life that followed from answers to it, was at the heart of their disagreement with Rome. Still Protesting arises from the conviction that the Reformers' answers to life's most important questions, based on their study of the Bible and theological reflection, are as superior today as they were when they provided the grounds for Christians in the West to abandon the bishop of Rome."
