Rejection Proof: How to Beat Fear and Become Invincible 内容简介 Rejection? It's nothing to be afraid of...Maybe you avoid situations where you might be rejected. You don't apply for that dream job. You don't ask for that pay rise. You don't ask that person on a date. But it doesn't have to be that way - the only thing standing between you and your goals...is you. Jia Jiang had allowed his fear of rejection to rule his life. But he decided to take radical action: he quit his job and spent 100 days deliberately seeking out scenarios where he would likely be rejected, from ordering donuts interlinked and iced like the Olympic rings to asking to pilot a light aircraft. And something remarkable happened; Jia not only learned how to cope with rejection but also discovered that even the most outrageous request may be granted - if you ask in the right way. In this infectiously positive book Jia shares what he learned in his 100 Days of Rejection, explaining how to turn a 'no' into a 'ye

In 1921, a young Albert Einstein traveled to America to give four lectures at Princeton University, paving the way for a more complete acceptance of his theory of general relativity. These lectures are published together as The Meaning of Relativity, and were revised with each new edition until Einstein's death. Despite Einstein's profession that he thought without using words, his examples and de*ions of the relativistic world he perceived are clear and easy to follow. Unfortunately for nontechnical readers, his presentation requires deep diversions into mathematics often enough to break up the flow of his narrative, and they may find this rough terrain. But for the mathematically sophisticated or the devoted scientific historian, these lectures are profoundly illuminating--Einstein's bright, quiet genius shines through in the simplicity and economy of his writing. Two appendices follow the lectures: the first covers advances and experimental verifications after 1921; the second, "Relativistic Theory of the

In this signal work of history, Bancroft Prize winner andPulitzer Prize finalist Lizabeth Cohen shows how the pursuit ofprosperity after World War II fueled our pervasive consumermentality and transformed American life. Trumpeted as a means to promote the general welfare, massconsumption quickly outgrew its economic objectives and becamesynonymous with patriotism, social equality, and the AmericanDream. Material goods came to embody the promise of America, andthe power of consumers to purchase everything from vacuum cleanersto convertibles gave rise to the power of citizens to purchasepolitical influence and effect social change. Yet despiteundeniable successes and unprecedented affluence, mass consumptionalso fostered economic inequality and the fracturing of societyalong gender, class, and racial lines. In charting the complexlegacy of our “Consumers’ Republic” Lizabeth Cohen has written abold, encompassing, and profoundly influential book.
