Equilibrium Enterprises Launches THE PRESSURE PARADOX
by BWW News Desk - November 03, 2015
Deadlines, obligations and problems can cause your stomach to churn with stress and anxiety, yet we all face such challenges daily, especially if something huge is at stake. What many of us fail to realize, however, is that behind, within and around every deadline is a force much greater than the deadline itself - a supernatural force responsible for nearly every great invention, idea and achievement throughout history. It's the same force that helps spur Olympians to set world records and at the same time, paradoxically, it has the capacity to cripple and ruin your life if misunderstood or misapplied. The force is pressure - an omnipotent energy that permeates our lives. In 'The Pressure Paradox,' Grunburg demystifies, de-stigmatizes and illuminates pressure for what it truly is: Perhaps the single greatest creative force in the universe - a force we can all channel and 'refract' positively to accelerate our own goal achievement. 'What's incredible to me is that both of these 'forces' - habit and pressure - carry a predominately negative connotation within our society, yet after extended reflection they really prove to be among the greatest influencers responsible for goal achievement and even a healthy, productive and 'successful' life,' Grunburg explains. 'Show me a person with a healthy capacity for pressure and I'll show you a successful person. Tragically, it seems those who struggle the most in our society tend to misunderstand pressure - they may even try to avoid it at all costs, which unfortunately leads to unhealthy drifting and ultimately even greater distress.' In 'The Pressure Paradox,' Grunburg powerfully elucidates that it's our response - our ability to 'refract' pressure positively - that ultimately impacts nearly every aspect of our lives: our career, education, family, relationships and, most importantly, even our well-being and peace of mind. In this groundbreaking book, Grunburg shares: · How to use and even create pressure to your advantage · How to manage and respond to pressure positively · How to tailor your environment to create and keep new, supportive habits to better manage stress · Why the greatest athletes and achievers throughout history thrive under pressure · Why having a 'chip on your shoulder' can be a great advantage · Why ultimately too much comfort 'kills' About Martin Grunburg Martin Grunburg is the creator of 'The Habit Factor' methodology for goal achievement, which today is utilized by top coaches, trainers, executives, companies and PhDs around the world.

R. J. Reilly Pens THE PELICAN AFFAIR
by BWW News Desk - November 03, 2015
Professor James Moore is honored to be asked to teach a summer class at Corpus Christi College, part of the prestigious University of Oxford. He's eager to start his summer abroad but secretly a little relieved that Helen, his wife of 25 years, won't be joining him right away. She has embraced middle age and the mantle of 'grandparent' far more gracefully than Moore has. This new novel 'The Pelican Affair' follows Moore to Oxford and then to Wallingford, a small town nearby where he was stationed during World War Two. There he meets Gwen. The two share an instant connection, resulting in a night of hurried passion. But the past intrudes on the present, and Moore is wracked with guilt about his infidelity. Before he knows it, Moore is off to pick up his wife at the airport. The couple talks and seems to reconnect. Although Moore is hopeful about their future, much of the old tension remains. The action of a madman cruelly cuts short the attempted reconciliation, and Moore is left to reassemble the pieces of his life. Moore struggles to reconcile his image of himself as a loyal husband and father, teacher of romantic literature, and man of ethics. Can Moore reconcile this image with the events of that fateful night or will it destroy him? 'The Pelican Affair' is a fascinating study of one man's tumultuous relationship with himself and the journey he undertakes to reconcile the past with the present. Author R.J. Reilly, a retired university teacher, has written four novels and three volumes of short stories (some yet to be published) in addition to several scholarly works. He writes books and stories for 'literate adults, people for whom fiction is storytelling that portrays the complexities of human existence.' The Pelican Affair R. J.
