About the Book SPRING: A METAL COIL THAT CAN BE PUSHED, PRESSED OR PULLED BUT WHICH ALWAYS RETURNS TO ITS ORIGINAL SHAPE AFTERWARDS. Rejection is inevitable in every stage of our lives. But what if this inevitability were a tool? What if it could be used as leverage to spring forward at every setback? What if there was a way to systematically process rejection and become a super-spring? Ambi Parameswaran—best-selling author, brand/leadership coach and former CEO of FCB-Ulka Advertising—was rejected at his dream job interviews, denied promotions and had clients turn down his business pitches. He now knows that he eventually succeeded because of these rejections and the way he handled them. Spring is packed with tales of rejection and redemption. Walt Disney, The Beatles, Thomas Alva Edison, Michael Jordan, A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, author Amish, the founders of Infosys, and others have used rejections as a pivot to swing their careers and businesses around. Ambi brings his decades of experience to bear on perhaps the vital life and career lesson you could learn from rejection. In Spring, he puts a gentle arm around your shoulders and helps you bounce back stronger than ever from every rejection.

How many factors control our life? There are many. But the book deals with the significant seven factors. Intelligence is important for achieving. Understanding self and others needs our emotional awareness. Communicating with others helps maintain the relationship. When we face adversity (challenge), we need to deal with it and bounce back, showing resilience. Keeping a balanced state of mind, irrespective of the life's varying situations, shows our spiritual alignment. Keeping ourselves fit needs focus on our health. All these characteristics are interconnected. A measure of these qualities is called a quotient, like intelligence measured by intelligence quotient. We can have quotients for the rest of the factors. Coming to think of it, we use three elements throughout our life, namely time, energy and money. A judicious use of these elements to support the development and nurturing of the seven factors results in enriching our life. That is the magic. The book is an outcome of insights gained from executive and leadership coaching of scores of leaders across several industry segments. The book deals with the concepts and practices, with a liberal dose of anecdotes. The annexure covers the self-test questionnaire for the six factors (except IQ), guidelines for scoring and a report. These would enable the reader to have a self-assessment and plan for development action. This book will be useful for anyone interested in becoming a holistic and effective person. It helps to achieve success and attaining fulfillment.

Go beyond your fear of rejection to develop confidence, compassionate self-awareness, and resilience! Do you have a fear of rejection? If so, you aren’t alone. But if you have difficulty bouncing back after rejection, experience intense pain as a result, or if the fear of rejection is so crippling that it interferes with your everyday life, it’s time to make a change. This groundbreaking guide can help. With this book, you’ll learn why you fear rejection by gaining an understanding of your unique attachment style. Secure attachment is defined as a feeling of being protected and well-cared for. People who experience secure attachment as young children are more likely to be happy, healthy, and resilient adults. On the other hand, insecurely attached people are less likely to cope well with rejection, and may have trouble “bouncing back” after difficult experiences. Once you understand how your attachment style has informed your fears, you can begin the work needed to overcome them! Using the theory of attachment, and the five domains of awareness: Sensations, Thoughts, Emotions, Actions, and Mentalizing (STEAM), you’ll learn to relate to yourself and to others in more positive ways, even when difficult situations arise. So, whether you experience rejection in a romantic relationship, at work, or with friends, you’ll have the resilience needed to recover quickly and focus on what makes you special and unique. This isn’t a book that promises to protect you from future rejection. Unfortunately, rejection happens to everyone and is a normal part of life. But you will learn skills to handle this rejection and come to see it as less scary. With this view, you’ll gain confidence, self-awareness, and the resilience needed to bounce back, even when life throws you a curveball.

An adman constantly strives to connect market research data to insight on a winning campaign. Ambi Parmeshwaran has developed a fascination for how Indians are getting more religious but also more consumption driven. Combining his thirty- year experience as an adman with a lifelong passion for religious studies, Ambi seeks to answer questions like: • Why has the bindi disappeared from advertisements? • How did Akshaya Trithaya become such a big deal? • What makes Lord Shiva so cool? • How did a Chennai-based department store start the New Year's Sale phenomenon? • Are Muslims more open-minded shoppers? • Why do people who have no interest in using an MBA degree still get an MBA degree? • How did the Manusmriti do a disservice to Hindu women? • What can Harvard Business School learn from the Kumbh Mela? Ambi has filled this book with personal stories, anecdotes, lessons and excerpts from research and other publications. This book is a treat for anyone interested in how religion has evolved and how clever marketers have ridden the wave by tailoring their products and services.

Have you ever wondered what leads to success. Do you just need to be smart, great looking, or lucky? Richard St. John says those things dont lead to success. And he should know. He spent 10 years interviewing over 500 successful people, from Martha Stewart, to actor Russell Crowe, to DNA discoverer James Watson, to the top people in many fields. After analyzing and sorting all the information, Richard discovered the top 8 factors that are the foundation for success in any field. He also discovered that many successful people aren't especially smart, good-looking, or lucky. They're ordinary people, without special gifts, who achieve success by following the8 factors. Richard himself is a good example. He says, I could never figure o ut how an ordinary guy like me succeeded in business, won top awards and became a millionaire. So I started a project to ask other people what led to their success, and it grew into a 10-year journey of discovery. The story is in Richards new book, Stupid, Ugly, Unlucky and RICH Spikes Guide to Success, an easy-to-read analysis that gets beyond the cliches to distill what the worlds most successful people really do have in common."
