The Power Of Potential

“A powerful, game-changing book. Tom's approach is changing lives.” — Seth Godin, Author of This is Marketing Discover how supporting employment for people with autism unlocked new ways of running a business—and revealed transformative lessons for all of us. Rising Tide Car Wash in Parkland, Florida, isn’t average in any way. When Tom D’Eri and his father John bought the location in 2013, they wanted to create employment opportunities for workers with autism. Like 1 in 54 Americans, Tom’s brother Andrew has autism, and he was facing lifelong unemployment. So the family set out on a mission to provide professional opportunities for people like Andrew, starting with one car wash. Now it’s one of the highest-volume washes in Florida. Its employee retention rate is five times that of its competitors. It has spun off into two additional locations that have been immediately successful, and the business is absurdly profitable. The Power of Potential tells the inspiring, surprising reason why: The wash’s excellence isn’t in spite of their unusual workforce, but because of it. Thanks to their neurodivergent staff, the Rising Tide team was able to discover and correct common problems that typically fly under the radar in businesses, including: You hire based on interviews You think great talent is the secret to a great business Your managers are “good enough” You fire your worst employees By spotting and correcting these hidden problems, any business—with any kind of workers—can achieve unexpected wins and leave average behind. At Rising Tide, solving these problems resulted in four unexpected wins that added up to a culture of excellence: Every employee felt safe Accountability became a tool for growth Everyone’s work gave them a sense of purpose Customers loved their experience

Additionally, the book goes into further detail describing this wonderful multidimensional "3D" reality that we call existence. AJ spares nothing in this exciting yet controversial little gem. AJ lays it out straight; in a way that is fun, easy to read, entertaining and in a way that can be described in one word "authentic." The book's purpose is to provide some much needed universal balance and to assist humanity in understanding what "True Power" is, and what it is not. The Book also serves as a line of defense against all forms of "Corrupt Power", and it will help the reader expose those who seek power and control over others. Most importantly, The Book of Powers is a catalyst of freedom, liberation & truth - it will help people step up and out of the "muck of stagnation" - so finally, at last we can all run free.

Self-Empowerment is not some "wishy-washy" love everyone and everyone is good mentality. True Power comes from acknowledging that you are infinite, universal, immortal, capable, and free beyond any limitation, and sometimes this means you may have to be a little bold in your attempts at deflecting the negativity of people who wish to sink you down along with he ship. The book first began Easter Sunday 2013, AJ woke up and wrote the first 7,000 words, he had no plan, no agenda, not even an idea other than the title of the book and that he knew he was the one that needed to write it.

It has transformed into a book of real meaning, real value, real understanding; it is a book of real power. True Power, and it radiates the Divine Spark of Truth that will cast away all darkness.

“With cutting-edge research, penetrating insights, and practical examples, Shawn Achor describes a new conception of ‘success,’ and in doing so, reveals exciting new strategies we can use to meet our highest potential.”—Gretchen Rubin, bestselling author of The Happiness Project “A vibrant book on how to bring out the best in others—and how they can bring out the best in us.”—Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of the podcast WorkLife In a world that thrives on competition and individual achievement, we’re measuring and pursuing potential incorrectly. Pursuing success in isolation—pushing others away as we push ourselves too hard—not only limits our potential but makes us more stressed and disconnected than ever. Harvard-trained researcher Shawn Achor reveals a better approach. With exciting new research combining neuroscience and psychology with Big Data, Achor shows that our potential is not limited by what we alone can achieve. Instead, it is determined by how we complement, contribute to, and benefit from the abilities and achievements of people around us. When we—as individuals, leaders, and parents—chase only individual achievement, we leave vast sources of potential untapped. But once we put “others” back into the equation, and work to make others better, we ignite a Virtuous Cycle of cascading successes that amplify our own. The dramatic shifts in how we approach work today demand an equally dramatic shift in our approach to success. In Big Potential, Achor draws on cutting-edge original research as well as his work with nearly half of the Fortune 100 and with places like NASA, the NFL and the NBA, and offers a new path to thriving in the modern world.
