The Sunday Times #1 Bestseller
How do you get the most out of life's blink?
The best-selling Stop Talking Start Doing, was about making your dreams real. This one tackles a more fundamental question. Are you having the right dreams for you?
In this book we start at the beginning. With the right thinking tools and the right approach you can release your inspiration and creativity, reset your ambition and direct your attention to the things that truly matter to you. And that can change your life.
You came into this world bursting with wonder, imagination, curiosity, the urge to be creative and, as any crawling wanna-walk baby will show you, you were born with unflinching and boundless ambition, he says.
Now its time to rediscover that lust for life.
Today your unshackled imagination is the truest designer of your future.
The new certainty is that everything changes, anything is possible and whatever you can imagine is probably on the cusp of being made real tomorrow and obsolete soon after.
So fast is the world transforming that only if you think wildly and recklessly will you even keep up with whats coming down the road. Merely to keep up you must overshoot like an archer aims ahead of a moving object.
To go further, if you want to seize control and shape your future the requirement is clearer still: You must cast your imagination yet wider and think even bigger.
Because the bottom line is this, your imagination is now the limiting factor of your life. In the world of anything-is-possible the outer limits of thinking big are the barriers of your life.
Make them small and that is the life you will have. Throw them far and then never stop extending them and you shall never limit yourself.
You may not reach the ends of your imagination and ambition. But you will not go past it.
Here are nine habits of mind, that will unshackle you from the busyness of life and all the noisy small staff . Inspired, youll demolish the barriers of narrow thinking, expand your frontiers, overshoot your current reality by a distance and never experience the dismay of Massive Monday again.
Heres where it starts. This is a reset button. Push it.

2) Struggles help us develop traits like optimism and define our character. Like a moth struggling to emerge from its cocoon, enduring difficulties makes us stronger.
3) While struggles are hard, depriving ourselves of them leaves us "crippled" and weaker than we could be. We should embrace challenges as opportunities to grow.Ten Golden Lessons From Steve Jobs

The document discusses the concepts of "ethical food" and "ethicurean". It outlines the mass production dilemmas facing the food system and different certifications and policies used to govern ethical food. An ethicurean aims to consume food ethically while considering environmental and animal welfare impacts. Slow Food and fair trade movements also aim to shorten supply chains and transform inequitable conditions for food producers. While legislation and certification aim to incentivize ethical production, their effectiveness is limited and a social change may be needed to better balance food ethics and mass production.Living together with Nature

The document discusses social capital and networks in the conservation of Chek Jawa, a nature area in Singapore. It summarizes how in 2001, reclamation plans for Chek Jawa were deferred due to effective public consultation led by environmental civil society groups. These groups utilized social capital accumulated through networks, credibility, and trust to engage the public and state through non-confrontational strategies like guided walks, surveys, and online/media outreach. This landmark event was a watershed moment for environmental governance in Singapore and demonstrated the importance of social capital and networks for successful nature conservation.Greening our Lives

This document discusses nature conservation efforts in Singapore. It begins by listing some natural areas in Singapore and noting that there are still some native species found there, such as coral reefs and dolphins. It then discusses what constitutes "nature" and different approaches to conservation. Several conservation groups in Singapore working on issues like terrestrial and marine conservation are highlighted.
