Think Like A Freak Analysis

In a society where hardships occur daily, it is vital to have something to hold on to as an anchor. This reliance or commitment is in the form of friends, family, or even tangible possessions; however, humans sometimes have to fulfill deeds for others instead of continually thinking of themselves. Given these obligations, there results both a need and a desire to complete certain tasks for other individuals, for a community, or even for a higher power. In his novel, A Lesson Before Dying, Ernest Gaines quite successfully portrays the theme of the importance of obligation and commitment through presenting an effective setting and community, constructing strong relationships between characters, and providing

Technology is something we use every day, we use it to research we use it to communicate with people. Though some people can be skeptical and on the fence with technology, they want to know if it helps us or hurts us. They want to know if we can do anything on our own without the help of technology. Even though that people feel like that Michaela Cullington author of “Does Texting Affect Writing?” looks at both sides of the argument surrounding technology effect on writing and ultimately shows how it doesn’t affect writing. Likewise, Clive Thompson author of “Smarter Than You Think” also has a stand point on how technology and shows it helps us not harm us in the way people think. After reading Cullington’s article it provides example of how

The traits in the book Succeeding When You’re Suppose To Fail The 6 Enduring

People have different ways of thinking whenever they have troubles and nobody will think “Think like a Freak” is also the way to solve the problems. It is very simple because they believe that thinking like a Freak is the thought of crazy people. Moreover, S.Levitt and S.Dubner had proved it opposite, in the book “Think like a Freak”, they give three suggestions on how to think like a freak: Don’t be afraid to say: “I don’t know”, think like a child and think outside the boundaries.

The law of attraction is a growing trend. Though many people read the books tailored towards this law they fail to attract into their life what they desire. They have the knowledge to use this law yet they don’t practice it. Knowledge isn’t a capacity of knowing but rather a capacity of doing. One of Seven gives readers the practical tool to really use this law to their advantage to finally manifest their goals. The main principles in this book are based on the similarities I noticed in books including The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra and The Secret by Rhonda Bryne, psychological studies I examined while I was in University, and various documentaries including The Secret on Netflix. These sources have a very powerful and effective message to empower people to transform their lives yet millions of people don’t follow through. With One of Seven anybody in the world can manifest the lives they have always wanted by filling out their daily journal.

A skill that I learned from reading this book is the usage of verbal and nonverbal communications. In verbal communication within a health profession is that one must be careful of the way something is being said because the other person may interpret the wrong way and can lead to something that is the opposite. With is being said, “if we start to create rules about how to communicate we are in danger of taking away the natural, warm, and genuine way that people communicate with those in their care” (Pavord and Donnelly, 40). Having the natural, warm, and genuine way we speak with people can be beneficial in a sense that one should comply with the 6 C’s that was stated. Regardless if we know the person or not we should not make a prediction of what someone is feeling or doing, but instead one should ask a simple non-objecting question in a way that is simple and bold.

The two chapters I selected that I perceive are the most beneficial to me currently, are one and two. Chapter one , which is Little Things Matter is currently beneficial to me because no matter what age you are every small action you do is important. To this, the littlest phenomenon affect and have an immense impact in your live. Moreover, I think it’s important that every action you make is present and don’t plainly ignore it because it may affect you in the future. Chapter 2: Attitude Is Everything, it is important to me because it is true that with your attitude is placed on your face, people can sense it before you even communicate with them. In fact this has happened to me before. One day, I was told by another teenager like me that when

One of the most important life lessons learned in this book is presented towards the

I don’t like what my life has become in this country. I don’t know how long I can continue living like this, Neni. The suffering in Limbe was bad, but this one here, right now…it’s more than I can take.” Neni”. Behold the Dreamers is a great representation of some of the struggles held in the everyday lives of Americans. Neni and Jende were immigrants who came to seek their dreams, but were held to it due the lack of money they had. The Edwards had been living the American Dream, yet they had their own problems of wanting more.

The mini habits require a plan for a person to be successful, when the concept if utilized in real life it will increase my productivity because l will limit the time l waste doing nothing (Marinelli et al., 2004). A lot of time is also spent trying to decide the next step after accomplishing one task. The idea of contentment is fundamental to me because sometimes human beings are subjected to a feel of succeeding quickly. Lack of virtue leaves people annoyed and hopeless. In spite of the importance of this article, it is not applicable in some life’s spheres. For example, many students do not like reading, but it is an obligation for getting good grades in school. Students are forced to work extra hard, but Stephen advocates that willpower should take

I really like the book If Life is a GAME, THESE are the RULES because it tells you the ins and outs of life, and it guides you to be a leader. The book opened me up to life a little more than before. This book is a bestseller based on the "Ten rules for being Human," developed for a workshop twenty-five years ago by Cherie Carter Scott. Some of the topics that were talked about in the book were faith, responsibility, and commitment. The basic message is that human behavior is under our control and life is a learning experience in which there are no mistakes only lessons that must be repeated. We can all have a more satisfying and fulfilling life if we rely on our inner wisdom and practice Carter Scott’s ten rules. Reading this can inspire you

Was there ever a time where you got in trouble and your parents kept getting onto you? In the three essays we have read, there were people who tried to help teenagers with their bad habits. The helpers forced them to think about their future. If these people let their lives go, then they will end up either dead or in jail. Appeals to fear are the best motivational force.

Remembering these things will help me in the future to not give up. I learned that I need to dream big, have the nerve to act on it, be willing to accept advice and concentrate on the solutions when a problem arises. If I fail it will be okay, and don’t be scared to go after what I really want. I believe that in the future if I have more faith in myself what I never thought was possible could be. Burton discusses mindsets (growth and fixed) and what they mean. In the past, I would say I had a fixed mindset, and as I grow my thinking style is changing. Today I would say I have more of a growth mindset especially after reading this book. I have always thought of success as money and power in your career, and never wanting to fail. This has stopped me from going after things I wanted because of my fear of failure. My thought was if I am going to fail why bother. I now see where I had issues before and learned

I was initially considering title 1 however while brainstorming I became aware of the ambiguity of the terms used in the title and found it rather confusing. Therefore, I explored the other titles. Title 4 relating to suspension of disbelief appealed to me.
